Nanostructured applications

Their unusual structural and electronic properties make the carbon nanostructures applicable in, inter alia, the electrode materials of EDLCs and batteries. Activated carbon nanofibers are expected to be more useful than spherical activated carbon in allowing the relationship between pore structure and electrochemical properties to be investigated to prepare the polarizable electrodes for experimental EDLCs, EDLCs are well documented to exhibit significantly higher specific powers and longer cycle lifetimes compared with those of most of rechargeable batteries, including lead acid, Ni-MH, and Li-ion batteries [20-34—45],...

The discovery of nanotubes and other nanostructures has opened up an exciting new field of research. But just what other shapes are possible and what other materials will form nanotubes To find out, we will need to predict the effect of different configurations. There are also many experimental problems to be solved. For example, how would you form an electrical connection to a nanotube Methods for synthesizing the large amounts of nanotubes needed in large-scale applications of nanotube assemblies also need to be developed. 

To understand the extraordinary potential for DNA to be utilized as a material in construction processes, the general properties of this biomolecule will first be discussed. In addition, examples of naturally occurring nucleic acid-based nanostructures will be described that are of great importance both for cellular processes and conventional applications in molecular biotechnology. 

The nanostructured molecular arrangements from DNA developed by Seeman may find applications as biological encapsulation and drug-delivery systems, as artificial multienzymes, or as scaffolds for the self-assembling nanoscale fabrication of technical elements. Moreover, DNA-protein conjugates may be anticipated as versatile building blocks in the fabrication of multifunctional supramolecular devices and also as highly functional-... 

On the whole, the technology utilized to produce the variety of new nanostructured colloidal materials, as outlined in this chapter, is unparalleled in its versatility and simplicity and is therefore foreseen to become widely used in the engineering of colloidal entities for various applications in the physical and life sciences.

A question of practical interest is the amount of electrolyte adsorbed into nanostructures and how this depends on various surface and solution parameters. The equilibrium concentration of ions inside porous structures will affect the applications, such as ion exchange resins and membranes, containment of nuclear wastes [67], and battery materials [68]. Experimental studies of electrosorption studies on a single planar electrode were reported [69]. Studies on porous structures are difficult, since most structures are ill defined with a wide distribution of pore sizes and surface charges. Only rough estimates of the average number of fixed charges and pore sizes were reported [70-73]. Molecular simulations of nonelectrolyte adsorption into nanopores were widely reported [58]. The confinement effect can lead to abnormalities of lowered critical points and compressed two-phase envelope [74]. 

DNA is ideally suited as a structural material in supramolecular chemistry. It has sticky ends and simple rules of assembly, arbitrary sequences can be obtained, and there is a profusion of enzymes for modification. The molecule is stiff and stable and encodes information. Chapter 10 surveys its varied applications in nanobiotechnology. The emphasis of Chapter 11 is on DNA nanoensembles, condensed by polymer interactions and electrostatic forces for gene transfer. Chapter 12 focuses on proteins as building blocks for nanostructures. 

The next two chapters concern nanostructured core particles. Chapter 13 provides examples of nano-fabrication of cored colloidal particles and hollow capsules. These systems and the synthetic methods used to prepare them are exceptionally adaptable for applications in physical and biological fields. Chapter 14, discusses reversed micelles from the theoretical viewpoint, as well as their use as nano-hosts for solvents and drugs and as carriers and reactors. 

The formation of nanostructures such as nanodot arrays has drawn a great attention due to the feasible applications in a variety of functional structures and nanodevices containing optoelectronic device, information storage, and sensing media [1-3]. The various methods such as self-assembled nanodots from solution onto substrate, strain-induced growth, and template-based methods have been proposed for the fabrication of nanodot arrays on a large area, [4-6]. However, most of these works can be applied to the small scale systems due to the limited material systems. 

Titanium dioxide supported gold catalysts exhibit excellent activity for CO oxidation even at temperatures as low as 90 K [1]. The key is the high dispersion of the nanostructured gold particles over the semiconducting Ti02 support. The potential applications of ambient temperature CO oxidation catalysts include air purifier, gas sensor and fuel cell [2]. This work investigates the effects of ozone pretreatment on the performance of Au/Ti02 for CO oxidation.
