Ligand-stabilized CoNi NPs were synthesized by heating mixtures of Ni(acac)2 and Co(acac)2 (acac = acetylacetonate), oleylamine, trioctylphosphine, and trioctylphosphine oxide to 240 °C. Varying the amounts of the Co and Ni precursors allows for control over the NP size, giving diameters of 6–18 nm and compositions (XCo) of ≤0.7. The products are enriched with Ni, in comparison with the Co:Ni ratio of the precursors. Co and Ni are both dispersed throughout the NPs, while the shells are enriched with Co. The magnetic properties of CoNi NPs are between those of magnetically soft Ni and magnetically harder Co, with additional effects caused by oxidation under ambient atmosphere, which gives rise to exchange bias. When the reaction mixture for synthesizing CoNi NPs is heated to 300 °C, trioctylphosphine decomposes, and conversion into ...}, number={7}, journal={CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS}, publisher={American Chemical Society (ACS)}, author={Marusak, Katherine E. and Johnston-Peck, Aaron C. and Wu, Wei-Chen and Anderson, Bryan D. and Tracy, Joseph B.}, year={2017}, month={Apr}, pages={2739–2747} }

Overcoating QDNRs with silica (SiO2) shells is desirable for protecting the surface of the inorganic core, imparting dispersibility in water, and allowing functionalization with silanes. While several methods have been developed for encapsulating spherical CdSe-based quantum dots in SiO2, extension of these approaches to QDNRs has been limited. Here, we report a reverse microemulsion approach for controlled deposition of SiO2 overcoatings with thicknesses of 2–12 nm onto CdSe/CdS QDNRs with aspect ratios of up to 19. Addition of poly(ethylene glycol) silane during SiO2 deposition terminates the reaction and allows facile control over the shell thickness, especially for thinner shells. By independently controlling the amounts of tetraethyl orthosilicate, ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), and water, morphological control is achieved, giving uniform SiO2 shells or heterogenenous deposition onto the ends of QDNRs as lobed struc...}, number={14}, journal={CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS}, author={Anderson, Bryan D. and Wu, Wei-Chen and Tracy, Joseph B.}, year={2016}, month={Jul}, pages={4945–4952} }

Airbrushing is a simple method for depositing catalyst NPs over large areas that is compatible with roll-to-roll processing. The distribution and morphology of VACNFs are affected by the airbrushing parameters and the composition of the metal foil. Highly concentrated Ni NPs in heptane give more uniform distributions than pentane and hexanes, resulting in more uniform coverage of VACNFs. For VACNF growth on metal foils, Si micropowder was added as a precursor for Si-enriched coatings formed in situ on the VACNFs that impart mechanical rigidity. Interactions between the catalyst NPs and the metal substrates impart control over the VACNF morphology. Growth of carbon nanostructures on Cu is particularly noteworthy because the miscibility of Ni with Cu poses challenges for VACNF growth, and carbon nanostructures anchored to Cu substrates are desired as anode materials for Li-ion batteries and for thermal interface materials.}, number={18}, journal={ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES}, author={Sarac, Mehmet F. and Anderson, Bryan D. and Pearce, Ryan C. and Railsback, Justin G. and Oni, Adedapo A. and White, Ryan M. and Hensley, Dale K. and LeBeau, James M. and Melechko, Anatoli V. and Tracy, Joseph B.}, year={2013}, month={Sep}, pages={8955–8960} }
