Characterisation of mesostructured films and single zeolite nanosheets

Xu, Shiyu January 2018 (has links)
Thin nanoporous films are attractive for many potential uses for example gas separation, catalysis, filtration of viruses, ore flotation, or as low-dielectric-constant materials. Zeolite and mesoporous materials are the two important nanoporous material classes. In this thesis, we synthesized and characterized two different thin nanoporous films; (i) mesostructured films at the mica-solution interface; (ii) mechanical exfoliated zeolites. The mesoporous materials are well-defined pore shoe and size, and exhibit various morphologies, such as thin films, etc. In contrast, zeolites are a kind of perfect crystal and the morphologies are strongly related to their structures and are difficult to control. Therefore, first we synthesis mesostructured films at mica-solution interface in acidic solution. In-situ Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has been used to reveal the formation process of organic and inorganic mesophase films at the molecular level. Then, we synthesized two-dimensional zeolite structures via mechanical exfoliation process that does not involve any chemical intervention and can be applicable to a wide variety of structures with different chemical makeup. Three different zeolite structure nanosheets related to the structure code MWW, UTL, and MFI have been prepared. AFM and TEM have been used to characterized the exfoliated single nanosheet. In order to broaden the application of the single zeolite nanosheet, platinum nano-clusters are encapsulated within mechanical exfoliated zeolite MFI nanosheets by ion exchange from aqueous solution of [Pt(NH3)4](NO3)2. High-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy has been used to indicate the Pt clusters in the zeolite MFI structures. Because of the property of the mechanically as-synthesised exfoliated MFI nanosheets that is the long hydrocarbon chains are essentially intact on both sides of the inorganic layer, and can prevent thickening of the zeolite MFI nanosheets along b-axis, we use the mechanically exfoliated MFI as seeds for further growth to form large scale MFI membrane with uniform nano-thickness. Encapsulating noble metals within the channels or cavities of zeolites has already drawn numerous attentions because the well-defined zeolite structure is able to constrain the metal nanoparticle (NPs) aggregation size and enhance the diversity and activity for catalysis. We use the organic surfactant (C22-6-6Br2) and [Pt(NH3)4](NO3)2 as the structure and metal precursor to form Pt-containing nanowires; and use F- to inhibit the premature precipitation of Pt precursors. After involving F-, the Pt-containing nanowire structures were generated.

Depozice Ga nanostruktur na grafenové membrány / Deposition of Ga nanostructures on graphene membranes

Severa, Jiří January 2021 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with the preparation of the graphene membranes for depo-sition of gallium atoms by the molecular beam epitaxy. In the first part properties ofgraphene and methods of its production are described. Second part focuses on the gra-phene membranes, their specific properties, applications and methods of production. Thirdpart describes growth theory of the thin films. Practical part is focused on preparationof graphene membranes, which consists of covering the holes in the silicon substrate bygraphene layer. For that mechanical exfoliated and chemical vapor deposited graphenewere used. Subsequently, gallium atoms were deposited on these membranes by molecularbeam epitaxy and in situ observed by scanning electron microscopy.

Aplikace SPM při studiu a modifikaci ultratenkých vrstev Pt, Co a graphenu / Aplication of SPM in study and modification of ultrathin films Pt, Co and graphene

Lišková, Zuzana January 2009 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with the preparation of the very thin films and their investigation by scanning probe microscopy methods. The ultrathin films of Pt on Pt(111) were created by pulsed laser deposition and the ultrathin films of Co on Pt(111) were deposited by thermal evaporation. The coverage of the substrate was much smaller than one monolayer (in order of hundredths of monolayer). The nucleation theory was verified by these experiments using so-called Onset method. Further graphene sheets were prepared on layer of Si/SiO2 by the mechanical exfoliation from the graphite crystal. The fabricated graphene sheets were studied by micro-Raman spectroscopy, microreflectometry, atomic force microscopy and similar techniques. These methods proved the thinnest graphite layers were consisted of two graphene monolayers.
