Silica nanoparticles prepared by the StOber method were functionalized with epoxy, amine, and thiol groups, which were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared analysis. The functionalized silica nanoparticles were used to produce Pickering emulsions, and the exposed surface was used for the attachment of silver nanoparticles （AgNPs） via the low-temperature chemical reduction method. The morphology and structure of the Ag-SiO2 Janus particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and UV-vis spectroscopy. Because of their specific functionalities, these Ag-SiO2 Janus particles are proposed for applications on textile substrates, as they can overcome several drawbacks of direct application of AgNPs on textiles, such as leaching, agglomeration, and instability during storage.展开更多

The catalysts were characterized by XRD, H2- TPR, NH3-TPD and TG techniques. The results indicated that ZnO promoter greatly enhanced the initial activity of the catalyst but disfavored its stability. H2-TPR and XRD results showed that the reduction peak of Ag2O shifted to higher temperature and the intensity of silver diffraction peaks was much weaker after the addition of ZnO promoter to Ag/SiO2. This indicated that there existed the interaction between Ag2O and SiO2-ZnO which promoted the silver particles dispersing on the support and inhibited the sintering of silver during the reaction. NH3-TPD and TG results revealed that the acid amounts of the catalyst and coking increased after adding ZnO to Ag/SiO2, which resulted in the deactivation of Ag/SiO2-ZnO catalyst rapidly.展开更多

Their compositions were determined by C, H elemental analyzer and EDTA titration. The infrared spectra, ultraviolet absorption spectra, and fluorescence spectra were also measured to identify the complexes. Elemental analysis showed that the compositions of these complexes were Tb（p-BrBA）3- H20, Tb（p-CIBA）3- 2H20, Tb（p-FBA）3- H20, Tb（o-FBA）3·2H20, Tb（o-CIBA）3· H20, and Tb（o-BrBA）3. H20, respectively. The monodispersed Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles with silica thicknesses of 10, 15, and 25 nm were success- fully prepared and characterized by transmission-electron microscopy. Fluorescence intensities of the complexes were detected before and after Ag@SiO2core-shell nanoparticles were added; the enhancement times were related to the silica-shell thick- ness. The fluorescence enhancement times were largest when the thickness of the silica shell was 25 nm. The mechanism may be attributed to the localized surface-plasmon resonance. Furthermore, the enhancement effect of terbium fluoro-benzoate complexes was the strongest in these complexes. This result may be attributed to the hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl on the surface of the silica shell and the fluorine atom.展开更多
