Anti-interference characteristics, whereby undesirable signal interference is minimized, are required for multifunctional sensor platforms. We fabricate the anti-temperature interference strain sensor by hybrid ligand exchange method with metal nanoparticles thin films.
to their high electrical conductivity. [4] Cu NCs are also applied as electrocatalysts to accelerate various reactions such as the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) [5] and carbon dioxide reduction. [6,7] In addition, the free electrons in Cu NCs interact with radiating electromagnetic waves, resulting in the characteristic localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR). [8] As Cu is less expensive than other noble metals, Cu NCs are also utilized as templates for deposition of noble metals, such as gold, [9] silver, [10] palladium, [11] and platinum, [12,13] in the form of core-shell, [14] hollow, [15,16] and alloy [17] NCs; this strategy decreases the usage of expensive noble metals, while their catalytic and electronic properties are maintained or occasionally even enhanced. The physical and chemical properties of Cu NCs can also be precisely tailored by changing their size, shape, and composition. [18] For instance, Cu nanowires are utilized in the fabrication of transparent and flexible conducting electrodes owing to the formation of interconnected conducting networks with a low amount of Cu nanowires. [19] The size-and shape-dependent catalytic activities of Cu NCs in the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) have also been reported. CO 2 is converted into hydrocarbons, formic acid, or alcohols, depending on the size and exposed facets of the Cu NCs. [20][21][22] In addition, as the LSPR of the Cu NCs depends on their size and shape, their optical responses can be tuned for sensing. [23] In this context, it is important to develop appropriate synthetic methods to precisely control the size and shape of Cu NCs for exploring and then exploiting their optical, electronics, and catalytic properties.To date, many methods have been developed for the synthesis of colloidal Cu NCs with controlled size, shape, and composition. For example, the solution-phase syntheses of Cu NCs and Cu nanowires have been accomplished using organic reducing agents. [24][25][26] In these reactions, Cu ions are directly reduced to zerovalent copper in the presence of ascorbic acid or glucose to grow Cu NCs. In addition, the seed-mediated growth of Cu NCs has also been conducted using metal seeds with different reduction potentials. Gold [27] or palladium [28,29] used as seeds for the overgrowth of Cu induce the formation of Cu nanorods, nanowires, and right bipyramidal structures. The synthesis of Cu NCs via the disproportionation reaction of Cu(I) has also In this paper, the N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)-assisted shape evolution of highly uniform and shape-pure copper nanocrystals (Cu NCs) is presented for the first time. Colloidal Cu NCs are synthesized via the disproportionation reaction of copper (I) bromide in the presence of a non-polar solvent mixture. It is observed that the shape of Cu NCs is systematically controlled by the addition of different amounts of DMF to the reaction mixture in high-temperature reaction conditions while maintaining a high size uniformity and shape purity. With increasing amount of DMF in the reaction mixtu...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
