Abstract:
Metal nanostructured materials, with many excellent and unique physical and mechanical properties compared to macroscopic bulk materials, have been widely used in the fields of electronics, bioimaging, sensing, photonics, biomimetic biology, information, and energy storage. It is worthy of noting that most of these applications require the use of nanostructured metals with specific controlled properties, which are significantly dependent on a series of physical parameters of its characteristic size, geometry, composition, and structure. Therefore, research on low-cost preparation of metal nanostructures and controlling of their characteristic sizes and geometric shapes are the keys to their development in different application fields. The preparation methods, physical and chemical properties, and application progress of metallic nanostructures are reviewed, and the methods for characterizing metal nanostructures are summarized. Finally, the future development of metallic nanostructure materials is explored.

Abstract:
Solar energy is a green and sustainable clean energy source. Its rational use can alleviate the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Directly converting solar energy into heat energy is the most efficient method among all solar conversion strategies. Recently, various environmental and energy applications based on nanostructured photothermal materials stimulated the re-examination of the interfacial solar energy conversion process. The design of photothermal nanomaterials is demonstrated to be critical to promote the solar-to-heat energy conversion and the following physical and chemical processes. This review introduces the latest photothermal nanomaterials and their nanostructure modulation strategies for environmental (seawater evaporation) and catalytic (C1 conversion) applications. We present the research progress of photothermal seawater evaporation based on two-dimensional and three-dimensional porous materials. Then, we describe the progress of photothermal catalysis based on layered double hydroxide derived nanostructures, hydroxylated indium oxide nanostructures, and metal plasmonic nanostructures. Finally, we present our insights concerning the future development of this field.

Abstract:
AbstractThe most fundamental phenomena in the immobilising of biomolecules on the nanostructured materials for energy, environmental and health applications are the control of interfaces between the nanostructures/nanopores and the immobilized biomaterials. Thus, the throughput of all those biobased nanostructured materials and devices can be improved or controlled by the enhanced geometric area of the nanostructured interfaces if an efficient immobilization of the biomolecules is warranted. In this respect, an accurate control of the geometry (size, porosity, etc.) and interfaces is primordial to finding the delicate balance between large/control interface areas and good immobilization conditions. Here, we will show how the atomic layer deposition (ALD) can be used as a tool for the creation of controlled nanostructured interfaces in which the geometry can be tuned accurately and the dependence of the physical-chemical properties on the geometric parameters can be studied systematically in order to immobilize biomolecules. We will show mainly examples of how these methods can be used to create single nanopores for mass spectroscopy and DNA sequencing, and membrane for gas separation and water treatment in which the performance varies with the nanostructure morphologies/interfaces and the immobilization conditions.

Abstract:
To mitigate carbon emission from the combustion of fossil fuels, membrane is advantageous due to the fact that membrane is a thin interphase acting as a selective barrier separating two phases. This thinness, typically in the range of 100 nm to a few micrometers, provides an almost natural platform to implement functional nanostructures. In this review, the recent progress in nanostructured membrane materials for CO2 capture will be discussed, including applications in flue gas decarbonizing (CO2/N2 separation) and syngas purification (CO2/H2 separation). In addition, the fundamentals of membrane technologies are also introduced. The reviewed nanostructure formation is confined to solid state materials, including polymer with intrinsic microporosity, carbon-based membranes, zeolite, and metal organic framework.

Abstract:
At present, the world is at the peak of production of traditional fossil fuels. Much of the resources that humanity has been consuming (oil, coal, and natural gas) are coming to an end. The human being faces a future that must necessarily go through a paradigm shift, which includes a progressive movement towards increasingly less polluting and energetically viable resources. In this sense, nanotechnology has a transcendental role in this change. For decades, new materials capable of being used in energy processes have been synthesized, which undoubtedly will be the cornerstone of the future development of the planet. In this review, we report on the current progress in the synthesis and use of one-dimensional (1D) nanostructured materials (specifically nanowires, nanofibers, nanotubes, and nanorods), with compositions based on oxides, nitrides, or metals, for applications related to energy. Due to its extraordinary surface–volume relationship, tunable thermal and transport properties, and its high surface area, these 1D nanostructures have become fundamental elements for the development of energy processes. The most relevant 1D nanomaterials, their different synthesis procedures, and useful methods for assembling 1D nanostructures in functional devices will be presented. Applications in relevant topics such as optoelectronic and photochemical devices, hydrogen production, or energy storage, among others, will be discussed. The present review concludes with a forecast on the directions towards which future research could be directed on this class of nanostructured materials.

Abstract:
A focus of frontline interdisciplinary research today is the development of the conceptual framework and the experimental background of the science of nanostructured materials and the perspectives of its technological applications. We consider some current directions in the preparation, characterization, manipulation, and interrogation of nanomaterials, in conjunction with the modeling of the unique structure­dynamics­function relations of nanostructures and their assemblies. The implications of quantum size and shape effects on the energetics, nuclear­electronic level structure, electric-optical response and dynamics, reveal new unique physical phenomena that qualitatively differ from those of the bulk matter and provide avenues for the control of the function of nanostructures. Current applications in the realm of nanoelectronics, nanooptoelectronics, and information nanoprocessing are addressed, and other directions highlighted. Chemical sciences make a central contribution to this novel and exciting scientific­technological area.

Abstract:
Boron nitride (BN) nanostructures are structural analogues of carbon nanostructures but have completely different bonding character and structural defects. They are chemically inert, electrically insulating, and potentially important in mechanical applications that include the strengthening of light structural materials. These applications require the reliable production of bulk amounts of pure BN nanostructures in order to be able to reinforce large quantities of structural materials, hence the need for the development of high-yield synthesis methods of pure BN nanostructures. Using borazine (B3N3H6) as chemical precursor and the hot-filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) technique, pure BN nanostructures with cross-sectional sizes ranging between 20 and 50 nm were obtained, including nanoparticles and nanofibers. Their crystalline structure was characterized by (XRD), their morphology and nanostructure was examined by (SEM) and (TEM), while their chemical composition was studied by (EDS), (FTIR), (EELS), and (XPS). Taken altogether, the results indicate that all the material obtained is stoichiometric nanostructured BN with hexagonal and rhombohedral crystalline structure.

Abstract:
In this Thesis I have investigated the use of nanostructured films as sensing and contact layers for field effect gas sensors in order to achieve high sensitivity, selectivity, and long term stability of the devices in corrosive environments at elevated temperatures. Electrochemically synthesized Pd and Au nanoparticles deposited as sensing layers on capacitive field effect devices were found to give a significant response to NOx with small, or no responses to H2, NH3, and C3H6. Pt nanoparticles incorporated in a TiC matrix are catalytically active, but the agglomeration and migration of the Pt particles towards the substrate surface reduces the activity of the sensing layer. Magnetron sputtered epitaxial films from the Ti-Si-C and the Ti-Ge-C systems were grown on 4H-SiC substrates in order to explore their potential as high temperature stable ohmic contact materials to SiC based field effect gas sensors. Ti3SiC2 thin films deposited on 4H-SiC substrates were found to yield ohmic contacts to n-type SiC after a high temperature rapid thermal anneal at 950 ºC. Investigations on the growth mode of Ti3SiC2 thin films with varying Si content on 4H-SiC substrates showed the growth to be lateral step-flow with the propagation of steps with a height as small as half a unit cell. The amount of Si present during deposition leads to differences in surface faceting of the films and Si-supersaturation conditions gives growth of Ti3SiC2 films with the presence of TiSi2 crystallites. Current-voltage measurements of the as-deposited Ti3GeC2 films indicate that this material is also a promising candidate for achieving long term stable contact layers to 4H-SiC for operation at elevated temperatures in corrosive environments. Further investigations into the Ti-Ge-C system showed that the previously unreported solid solutions of (Ti,V)2GeC, (Ti,V)3GeC2 and (Ti,V)4GeC3 can be synthesized, and it was found that the growth of these films is affected by the nature of the substrate.

Abstract:
Although the study of biominerals may be traced back many centuries, it is only recently that biological principles have been applied to synthetic systems in processes termed "biomimetic" and "bioinspired" to yield materials syntheses that are otherwise not possible and may also reduce the expenditure of energy and/or eliminate toxic byproducts. Many investigators have taken inspiration from interesting and unusual minerals formed by organisms, in a process termed biomineralisation, to tailor the nanostructure of inorganic materials not necessarily found biogenically. However, the fields of nanoparticle synthesis and biomineralisation remain largely separate, and this thesis is an attempt to apply new studies on biomineralisation to nanomaterials science.Principally among the proteins that influence biomineralisation is a group comprised largely of negatively charged aspartic acid residues present in serum. This study is an investigation determining the ability of these serum proteins and other anolagous biomolecules to stabilise biologically relevant amorphous minerals and influence the formation of a variety of materials at the nanoscale. Three different materials were chosen to demonstrate this effect; gold was templated into nanosized single crystals by the action of bioorganic molecules, and the utility of these nanoparticles as a biosensor was explored. The influence of bioorganic molecules on the phase selection and crystal size restriction of titanium dioxide, an important semiconductor with many applications, was explored. The use of bioorganically derived nanoparticles of titanium dioxide was then demonstrated as a highly efficient photocatalyst. Finally, calcium carbonate, a prevalent biomineral was shown to form highly ordered structures over a variety of length scales and different crystalline polymorphs under the influence of a templating protein. In addition, an alternative route to producing calcium phosphate nanoparticle dispersions by mechanical filtration was explored and use as a transfection vector was optimised in two cell lines.Several significant achievements are presented: (i) the assessment of the relative ability of serum, serum derived proteins and their analogues to stabilize the amorphous state, (ii) the formation of single crystalline gold templated by an antibody, (iii) the formation of highly photocatalytically active nanoparticulate anatase by a phosphorylated cyclic esther, (iv) the formation of conical structures at the air liquid interface by the templating ability of a protein and (v) the optimisation of calcium phosphate nanoparticle mediated transfection in two cell lines by mechanical filtration.
Malgré le fait que l'étude des biomatériaux remonte à plusieurs siècles, ce n'est que récemment que des principes biologiques furent appliqués à des systèmes synthétiques dans des procédés de "biomimetic" et "bioinspirés", permettant ainsi de nouveaux matériaux de synthèses tout en réduisant l'expansion d'énergie et/ou d'éliminer les résultantes toxiques. Plusieurs chercheurs se sont inspirés des formes inusuelles dès plus intéressantes créées par des organismes, formés par un procédé de biominéralisation, qui modifie la nanostructure des matériaux synthétiques. Toutefois, les champs d'études des synthèses de nanoparticules et de la biominéralisation demeurent grandement à part, et cette thèse tente d'appliquer de nouvelles études de biominéralisation par rapport à la science des nanomatériaux.Les protéines sériques qui influencent la biominéralisation sont chargées négativement de résidus d'aspartate. Cette recherche déterminera l'habileté de ces protéines et des diverses molécules bio–organiques qui stabilisent biologiquement d'important minéraux aux multiples formes qui influencent la formation de matériaux non biogènes sur une nano échelle; l'or et le dioxyde de titane ont permis de démontrer ce résultat. L'or fut transformé en nanoparticules de cristal par l'action des protéines sériques, et c'est l'utilité de ces nanoparticules en tant que biocapteurs qui fut explorée. L'influence des molécules bios-organiques sur le choix de la phase ainsi que sur la restriction de la grosseur du cristal de dioxyde de titane, un important semi-conducteur dans plusieurs applications, fut explorée. Les nanoparticules dérivant bio-organiquement du dioxyde de titane ont dès lors démontrées leur action hautement efficace comme photo catalyseur. Le carbonate de calcium, un biominéral commun, a su démontré sa capacité à auto-former des structures à multiples échelles ainsi que différents polymorphes cristallins sous l'influence d'une protéine modèle. De plus, la manipulation des structures à former divers arrangements est une variable qui fut démontrée. Finalement, la stabilité des nanoparticules du phosphate de calcium à se disperser dans le sérum de culture fut modifiée afin d'optimiser l'efficacité du transfert dans deux lignes de cellules.Plusieurs grandes recherches ont accomplis de façon significative; (i) l'évaluation de l'habileté relative du sérum, le dérivé des protéines sériques et de leur capacité à stabiliser les phases de leurs multiples formes, (ii) la formation simple cristalline de l'or former par un anticorps, (iii) la formation de nanoparticules très actives photocatalytiquement d'anatase formées par un ester cyclique phosphorylée, (iv) la formation de structures coniques à l'interface air liquide par la capacité de gabarits d'une protéine, (iv) l'optimisation de transfection médiation par des nanoparticules de phosphate de calcium dans deux lignées cellulaires par filtration méchanique.

Abstract:
Des matériaux hybrides de classe II ont été préparés à partir de précurseurs bis(tripropynylstannylés). Deux familles de précurseurs sol-gel incluant des espaceurs hydrocarbonés et thiophénique ont été obtenues et conduisent à des matériaux hybrides auto-organisés où les plans d’oxyde sont séparés par les espaceurs organiques. Ainsi l’espaceur rigide a donné lieu à une structure pseudo-lamellaire montrant une bande d’émission monomère avec un assez faible décalage vers le rouge par rapport à l'émission des précurseurs en solution. En revanche, alors que les xérogels thiényle plus désordonnés conduisent à une large émission caractéristique de la formation d’excimères ou de dimères. Par ailleurs, des films minces contenant les espaceurs alkylène et arylalkylène ont été préparés et ont montré une morphologie "pseudoparticulaire" poreuse et un ordre à courte distance contenant des réseaux SnOx. De façon inattendue, ces films minces hybrides détectent le dihydrogène dès une température de 50 °C dans la gamme 200-10000 ppm. A partir de ces films hybrides minces, le dioxyde d'étain cristallin (SnO2) a été préparé par un post-traitement thermique. Comme prévu, ces films SnO2 cassitérite détectent le dihydrogène et, dans une moindre mesure le monoxyde de carbone avec une température optimale de fonctionnement comprise entre 300 et 350 °C
Class II hybrid materials were prepared from ditin hexaalkynides. Two families of precursors, including either hydrocarbon or oligothiophene-based spacers, were obtained and led by the sol-gel process to self-assembled organotin-based hybrid materials made of planes of oxide separated by organic bridges. Thus, the rigid thienyl spacer gave rise to a “pseudo-lamellar” structure that showed a monomer emission band with a rather small red-shift compared with to the emission of the precursor in solution. However more disordered thienyl xerogels led to broad emission features assigned to excimer or dimer formation. Moreover, thin films containing alkylene- and arylalkylene bridged have been prepared and showed a “pseudoparticulate” porous morphology and a short-range hierarchical order in the organic-inorganic SnOx pseudoparticles. Unexpectedly these hybrid thin films detect hydrogen gas at a temperature as low as 50 °C at the 200-10000 ppm level. From these hybrid thin films, crystalline tin dioxide (SnO2) were prepared by a thermal post-treatment. As expected, cassiterite SnO2 films detected H2 and to a less extent CO with a best operating temperature comprised between 300 and 350 °C

Abstract:
Carbon materials, including single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) and graphene, have gained great interest in electrochemistry. The advantages of carbon electrodes include chemical stability, biocompatibility, low background currents and good electrical conductivity. With the increasing importance of carbon electrode materials for biological and energy application, the systematic investigation and new applications is mandatory. SWNT networks, with different densities, are firstly investigated using microscale capillary electrochemical (EC) methods. Pristine high density (HD) SWNT networks are shown to exhibit more facile electron transfer (ET) for dopamine (DA) electro-oxidation and are less susceptible to blocking by reaction products when compared to low density (LD) SWNT networks. Acid treatment of SWNT networks results in an enhancement of electrode kinetics and a reduction in their susceptibility to surface fouling. Further, a comparison is made between SWNT electrodes, with different densities and a commercial screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE), for the oxidation of ferrocenecarboxylic acid (FcCOOH) in complex aqueous media (polyethylene glycol (PEG) and albumin), to mimic conditions in which diagnostic devices might be used. SWNTs exceed the performance of SPCEs, with a detection limit that is 3 orders of magnitude lower. Finally, a Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles (NPs) modified SWNT network is employed for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), showing improved ET processes with ~2.8 kA g-1 for MOR and ~3.7 kA g-1 for EOR, which are much higher than recent reports using other nanostructured catalysts. A fundamental understanding of the structure-activity of “blistered” highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), produced by electro-oxidation in HClO4, is obtained using scanning EC cell microscopy (SECCM) coupled with multi-microscopy techniques. The disordered sp2 carbon structure of the blister catalyzes the electro-oxidation of hydrazine compared to the basal surface. In this study, a potential sweep at each pixel of pre-defined scan area is recorded, providing potentiodynamic data with high resolution. To demonstrate that the approaches are generally applicable, a fundamental study of the redox activity for Li2O2 product (toroidal and layer structure) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) non-aqueous media, is undertaken. A unique gel polymer organic electrolyte (polymer matrix, cross linker and organic electrolyte) is employed in a dual barrel nanopipette and the SECCM approach is carried out with cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements performed at every pixel of a scan. The Li2O2 toroids outperforms the Li2O2 layer structure with a 9 times increase in the current response and ca. 80 % of charge efficiency. This work provides valuable information with regards to cathode materials for effective Li-air battery.

Abstract:
We present a theoretical investigation of the main aspects that characterize two novel photovoltaic devices: the dye sensitized solar cells and all carbon bulk heterojunction cell. In particular, firstly we studied the attachment of usually employed anchoring groups and a novel and promising one (squaric acid) to a prototype surface (rutile-TiO2(110) surface) to determine the lowest energy adsorption mode and discussing the electronic properties of the resultant hybrid interface by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the hybrid exchange (B3LYP) functional. Secondly, we present a theoretical investigation of the attachment of the hemi-squaraine dye (CT1) to the anatase-TiO2(101) and ZnO(1-100) surfaces. This molecule can be considered as prototypical dye for use in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), which present the squaric acid moiety as anchoring group to determine the lowest energy adsorption mode and discussing the electronic properties of the resultant hybrid interface by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We find that CT1 adsorbs dissociatively at both the TiO2 and ZnO surfaces giving a type II (staggered) heterojunction. Compared to ZnO surface, TiO2, due to the greater hybridization of its conduction band states with the unoccupied molecular orbitals of the dye, is expected to enhance performance when employed with CT1 in DSSCs. Regarding the all-C BHJ, we analize the relation between stochiometry and the opto-electronic properties in amorphous carbon and hydrogenated amorphous carbon thin films to predict their employment as active layer in innovative photovoltaic devices. The electronic and optical properties of a large statistical set of structures are explored by means of firstprinciples molecular dynamics and electronic structure calculations, correlating structural features such as the density, concentration of sp2 and sp3 hybridized C atoms, and H content to the density of states, Tauc and mobility gaps, and optical absorption. Our work suggests strategies to tune and control the bonding geometry and the optical and electronic properties in amorphous carbon, and highlights the promising features of this material as valid substitute to carbon based nanostructured materials.

Abstract:
The unique and desirable behavior of nanocrystalline materials (NCMs) is singularly attributed to the large number of grain boundaries relative to their coarse grain material (CGM) counterparts, which translates into a significant fraction of atoms (up to 50%) located in interfacial regions. Thus, the atomic structure and properties of the grain boundaries are of extreme importance in dictating the macroscopic physical and mechanical properties of NCMs. However, one of the biggest challenges is to produce durable nanostructures that will not lose their properties during service. Hardness, strength, fracture toughness, creep and fatigue experiments have been conducted to assess the properties of nanostructured Cu and their durability under temperature and stress. Molecular dynamics studies have been used to investigate how segregated dopant atoms affect the energetics of grain boundaries and their implications on grain growth in nanocrystalline metals by our group.

Abstract:
Large strain deformation, a key parameter in microstructure refinement by Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) processes, is a common feature of chip formation in machining. It is shown that the imposition of large plastic strains by chip formation can create metals and alloys with nanocrystalline or ultra-fine grained microstructures. The formation of such nanostructured materials is demonstrated in a wide variety of material systems including pure metals, light-weight aluminum alloys, and high strength steels and alloys. Nanocrystalline microstructures with different morphologies are demonstrated. The hardness and strength of the nanostructured chips are significantly greater than that of the bulk material. The production of nanostructured chips by machining, when combined with comminution and powder processing methods, may be expected to lead to the creation of a number of advanced materials with new and interesting combinations of properties. These materials are expected to find wide-ranging applications in the discrete products sector encompassing ground transportation, aerospace and bio-medical industries.

Abstract:
The recent technological advancements have greatly improved the quality and resolution of displays. Yet, issues like full-color gamut representation and the long-lasting durability of the color emitters require further progression. Colloidal quantum dots manifest an inherent narrow spectral emission with optical stability, combined with various chemical processability options which will allow for their integration in display applications. Apart from their numerous advantages, they also present unique opportunities for the next technological leaps in the field.
