Investigations of structural and dynamical mechanisms of ice formation regulated by graphene oxide nanosheets.
Recent research indicates that graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets can be used to regulate ice formation by controlling critical ice nucleus growth in water at supercooling temperatures. In addition, the study of ice formation mechanisms regulated by GO nanosheets, a good model system for antifreeze proteins (AFPs), will shed light on how AFPs regulate ice formation in nature. In this work, time-resolved small-angle x-ray scattering (TR-SAXS) and quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) experiments were carried out to investigate the structural and dynamical mechanisms of ice formation regulated by GO nanosheets. Strikingly, a transient intermediate state was observed in TR-SAXS experiments that only exists in the aqueous dispersions with a larger GO size (11 nm). This serves as evidence that the size of GO is critical for regulating ice formation. Elastic neutron scattering results indicate that ice is formed in all samples and thermal hysteresis occurs in GO aqueous dispersions in both H2O and D2O. The structural and dynamics information about water molecules in GO, extracted from QENS, reveals different dynamical behaviors of water molecules in GO aqueous dispersions when approaching the ice formation temperature.

期刊介绍:
Structural Dynamics focuses on the recent developments in experimental and theoretical methods and techniques that allow a visualization of the electronic and geometric structural changes in real time of chemical, biological, and condensed-matter systems. The community of scientists and engineers working on structural dynamics in such diverse systems often use similar instrumentation and methods.
The journal welcomes articles dealing with fundamental problems of electronic and structural dynamics that are tackled by new methods, such as:
Time-resolved X-ray and electron diffraction and scattering,
Coherent diffractive imaging,
Time-resolved X-ray spectroscopies (absorption, emission, resonant inelastic scattering, etc.),
Time-resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and electron microscopy,
Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopies (UPS, XPS, ARPES, etc.),
Multidimensional spectroscopies in the infrared, the visible and the ultraviolet,
Nonlinear spectroscopies in the VUV, the soft and the hard X-ray domains,
Theory and computational methods and algorithms for the analysis and description of structuraldynamics and their associated experimental signals.
These new methods are enabled by new instrumentation, such as:
X-ray free electron lasers, which provide flux, coherence, and time resolution,
New sources of ultrashort electron pulses,
New sources of ultrashort vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) to hard X-ray pulses, such as high-harmonic generation (HHG) sources or plasma-based sources,
New sources of ultrashort infrared and terahertz (THz) radiation,
New detectors for X-rays and electrons,
New sample handling and delivery schemes,
New computational capabilities.
