A highly efficient synthetic route was successfully developed to prepare crystallized and well dispersed Cu, Cu2O, and CuO nanoparticles (NPs) on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by controlling the impregnation condition of a copper-precursor (Cu(NO3)2$3H2O) on graphene oxide (GO) and subsequent thermal treatments. The morphological and chemical structures of the nanocomposites were systemically evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray absorption fine struc

Adsorption of dimethyl disulde (DMDS) on gold colloidal nanoparticle surfaces has been examined to check its binding mechanism.Dierently from previous results, DMDS molecules adsorbed on the gold surface at high concentration showed the SS stretching bandat. 500 cm. 1 in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra, which indicates the presence of intact adsorption of DMDS mol-iors were not observed for diethyl disulde (DEDS) or diphenyl disulde (DPDS). Our results indicate that DMDS molecul

The formation and structure of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) by the adsorption of acetyl-protected octylthioacetate (OTA) on Au(111) in a catalytic tetrabutylammonium cyanide (TBACN) solution were examined by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Molecular-scale STM imaging revealed that OTA molecules on Au(111) in a pure solvent form disordered SAMs, whereas they form well-ordered SAMs showing a c(4 × 2) structure i

The surface structure and electrochemical behavior of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) prepared from benzenethiol (BT), cyclohexanethiol (CHT), and cyclopentanethiol (CPT) on Au(111) surface were examined by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) to understand the influence of thiol molecular backbone structure on the formation and reductive desorption behavior of SAMs. STM imaging showed that BT and CPT SAMs on Au(111) surface formed at room temperature were mainly comp

The surface structure, electrochemical behavior, and wetting property of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed by dioctyl diselenide (DODSe) on Au(111) were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and contact angle measurements. In contrast to the formation of well-ordered SAMs by octanethiol on Au(111), the SAMs formed by DODSe have a disordered phase and many unusual vacancy islands (VIs). In addition, the formation of DODSe SAMs is largely influenced by

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were formed by adsorption of thioacetyl-terminated tolanethioacetate (TTA) on Au(111) in a 0.5-mM ethanol solution after one day immersion at room temperature. Molecular-scale STM imaging revealed that the TTA SAMs were composed of two mixed phases; an ordered phase with small domains describing a ( 2)R30 structure and a disordered phase. Interestingly, after annealing the pre-covered TTA SAMs on Au(111) at 90 C for 1 h, the small ordered domains grew unidirectio

Surface structure and molecular orientation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed by the spontaneous adsorption of tetrahydrothiophene (THT) and thiophene (TP) on Au(111) were investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and carbon K-edge near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. STM imaging revealed that THT SAMs have a commensurate (3 × 2√3) structure containing structural defects in ordered domains, whereas TP SAMs are composed of randomly adsorbed

The formation of striped phases of unsymmetric hexyl octadecyl disulfide (CH3(CH2)5SS(CH2)17CH3, HOD) and 1-hydroxyundecyl octadecyl disulfide (CH3(CH2)17SS(CH2)11OH, HUOD) on Au(111) and graphite has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to understand the self-assembly processes of dialkyl disulfides. STM imaging clearly shows the formation of striped phases having corrugation periodicities that are nearly consistent with the molecular length of alkanethiolate moieties formed

The surface structures, adsorption conditions, and thermal desorption behaviors of cyclopentanethiol (CPT)self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). STM imaging revealed that although the adsorption of CPT on Au(111) at room temperature generates disordered SAMs, CPT molecules at 50 °C formed well-ordered SAMs with a (2√3 × √5)R41o packing structure.
