Realizing the dynamic monitoring and analysis of the intrinsic growth process of metastable nanoparticles is the key to understanding the mechanism of nanocrystal formation, which is an important technical support for the precise preparation and physical property control of nanostructures at the atomic and molecular levels. Although existing liquid phase in situ transmission electron microscopy and in-situ X-ray diffraction techniques have high spatial resolution, they provide an important research method for exploring the nucleation and growth mechanism of nanomaterials in liquid phase systems, but still There are certain limitations, such as low temporal resolution, limited number of samples monitored in situ, etc. In addition, high-energy electron beams or X-rays are added energy sources for metastable nanoparticles, which interfere with the nanocrystals. Significant growth, affecting in-situ dynamic monitoring and analysis.
Based on this, the research team of Liang Changhao, a researcher in the Nanomaterials and Nanostructure Laboratory of Solid State, built a “liquid phase metastable nanoparticle in-situ dynamic spectrum analysis platform†to reveal the size, structure and physical properties of metastable nanoparticles. The variation law provides scientific basis and key technical support for the precise control of nanocrystal growth and the capture of metastable phase by liquid laser ablation technology.
Taking Se colloid as an example, in order to avoid the interference caused by surfactant and reactive residual ions on the growth of nanocrystals, the researchers firstly used liquid laser ablation technology to melt Se target in deionized water to obtain red amorphous form. a-Se nano colloidal solution. Se nanoparticles were then collected by centrifugation and dispersed in three different polar aprotic solvents, dimethylformamide (DMF), acetone (CP) and ethyl acetate (EAC). Using liquid phase in situ Raman spectroscopy monitoring in the platform (Fig. 2), as the aging process progresses, a-Se (252cm-1) gradually decreases in the three solvents, and t-Se (237cm-1) gradually increase. By analyzing the relationship between the intensity of t-Se Raman peak and the aging time, the researchers observed that the phase transition rate of Se in different solvents is different. Among the three solvents, the Se phase transition rate is DMF>CP>EAC. The function of the scatter plot of t-Se (237cm-1) Raman peak intensity and aging time was further fitted. The results show that the phase transition growth rate and time from a-Se to t-Se in different solvents are Power function relationship, and is positively correlated with solvent molecule polarity.
The work was funded by the National Key Basic Research and Development Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology (973 Project), the Chinese Academy of Sciences Equipment Development Project and the National Natural Science Foundation.

Water Distillation is a simple but effective process. It works by heating up regular water to about 212 degrees Fahrenheit, eliminating any potentially dangerous microbes like bacteria, cysts and viruses. Immediately steam rises, leaving behind dead microbes and any other unwanted substances such as salts, heavy metals and minerals. The steam`s then drawn away, concentrated and condensed, with all contaminants having been left behind. This process ensures not only the purest water, but the most effective removal of volatile organic compounds (VOC). These compounds are chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature, allowing them to change from solid to liquid and easily become mixed with water. VOCs have been deemed extremely hazardous by the US Environmental Protection Agency, being capable of causing damage to the eyes, nose, throat, liver, kidney and central nervous system among others.
