Influence of PDA Coating on the Structural, Optical and Surface Properties of ZnO Nanostructures
2020
Polydopamine (PDA) is a new biocompatible material, which has prospects in biomedical and sensor applications. Due to functional groups, it can host wide range of biomolecules. ZnO nanostructures are well known templates for optical sensors and biosensors. The combination of ZnO and PDA results in a change of optical properties of ZnO&ndash
Application of polydopamine functionalized zinc oxide for glucose biosensor design
2021
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures are widely used in optical sensors and biosensors. Functionalization of these nanostructures with polymers enables optical properties of ZnO to be tailored. Polydopamine (PDA) is a highly biocompatible polymer, which can be used as a versatile coating suitable for application in sensor and biosensor design. In this research, we have grown ZnO-based nanorods on the surface of ITO-modified glass-plated optically transparent electrodes (glass/ITO). Then the deposition of the PDA polymer layer on the surface of ZnO nanorods was performed from an aqueous PDA solution in such a way glass/ITO/ZnO-PDA structure was formed. The ZnO-PDA composite was characterized by S…
Photoelectrocatalysis of paracetamol on Pd–ZnO/ N-doped carbon nanofibers electrode
2021
Abstract The presence of pharmaceuticals in water bodies has become a major concern in recent years. An efficient and innovative way of eliminating these pollutants is through photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) degradation owing to its environmental sustainability and its ability to remove recalcitrant pollutants. In this study, palladium loaded zinc oxide/carbon nanofibers (CZnO–Pd) were employed as a novel photoanode for PEC degradation of paracetamol. The CZnO–Pd composite was prepared through electrospinning and atomic layer deposition (ALD). The obtained materials were characterized. Photoelectrochemical studies were carried out with linear sweep voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The removal…
Synthesis and photoluminescence properties of hybrid 1D core–shell structured nanocomposites based on ZnO/polydopamine
2020
In the present work, we report on the modelling of processes at the zinc oxide and polydopamine (ZnO/ PDA) interface. The PDA layer was deposited onto ZnO nanorods (NRs) via chemical bath deposition. The defect concentrations in ZnO before and after PDA deposition were calculated and analysed. The ZnONRs/PDA core–shell nanostructures were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) measurements, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The TEM and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) measurements confirmed the conformal coating of PDA, while the PL emission from ZnO and ZnONRs/P…
Photoluminescence Study of Defects in ZnO-Coated Polyacrylonitrile Nanofibers
2020
International audience; Core-shell nanostructures of one-dimensional (1D) polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/zinc oxide (ZnO) were obtained by combining atomic layer deposition (ALD) and electrospinning. Nanofibers with different ZnO thicknesses were synthesized and investigated. The present work offers novel information about 1D ZnO structural defects and activation energies (Ea) by performing photoluminescence (PL) measurements. PL measurements of 1D ZnO/PAN samples were investigated from 77 K to 273 K (room temperature). By analyzing the obtained data of the emission spectrum, Ea and temperature coefficients were calculated. The results let us suggest an approximate model of defects in 1D ZnO/PAN s…

JAUNU 1D ZNO/PDA KODOLA-ČAULAS NANOSTRUKTŪRU IZVEIDE AR UZLABOTĀM UZBŪVES, ELEKTRONISKAJĀM, OPTISKAJĀM UN JUTĪBAS ĪPAŠĪBĀM
2020
Darbā izveidoti un pētīti viendimensionāli (1D) cinka oksīda (ZnO) nanovadi, kas veido kodola-čaulas nanostruktūru ar polidopamīnu (PDA). ZnO iegūts hidrotermālās audzēšanas ceļā un apklāts ar PDA slāni, izmantojot ķīmiskās nogulsnēšanās metodi. Analizētas iegūtā materiāla optiskās, uzbūves un elektroniskās īpašības. Ar fotoluminiscenci un fotoelektroķīmisko metodi pētīta virsmas jutība un kinētiskā reakcija pret biomolekulu: vērša seruma albumīnu. Noteikts, ka ZnO ar PDA savienojas caur hidroksīda –OH grupām, PDA slāņa nogulsnēšanās rezultātā samazinās ZnO defektu koncentrācija. PDA slānis uzlabo strāvas plūsmu caur ZnO. Ultravioletā ierosme neietekmē šo strāvu. Nanostruktūrās novērots ele…
