The study of thiophene adsorption onto La(III)-exchanged zeolite NaY by FT-IR spectroscopy

Zeolites NaY and LaNaY (ion-exchanged with aqueous lanthanum nitrate solution) were used as adsorbents for removing organic sulfur compounds from model gasoline solutions (without and with toluene) and fluid catalytic cracked gasoline in fixed-bed adsorption equipment at room temperature and atmosphere pressure. The adsorptive selectivity for organic sulfur compounds was significantly increased when Na(+) ions in zeolite NaY were exchanged with lanthanum ions. IR spectra of thiophene adsorption indicate that thiophene is adsorbed onto La(3+) ions via direct S-La(3+) interaction and Na(+) ions via pi-electronic interaction for La(3+)-exchanged zeolite NaY, but only via pi-electronic interaction with Na(+) ions for NaY. The amount of adsorbed thiophene on La(3+)-exchanged zeolite Y was slightly decreased by coadsorption of benzene, but greatly reduced on NaY. The adsorption of thiophene via interaction with La(3+) on La(3+)-exchanged zeolite Y is hardly replaced by benzene coadsorption. The direct S-La(3+) interaction might be the essential reason for the evidently improved adsorptive selectivity of LaNaY for removing organic sulfur compounds from solutions containing large amount of aromatics.

The photophysical properties and morphology of fluorene-alt-benzene based conjugated polymer

A series of fluorene-alt-benzene based conjugated main chain polymers chemically attached with alkyl side chains of different lengths on phenylene rings were designed and synthesized by a palladium catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction. The UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra, thermal stability of spectral property, phase transition behavior and morphology of the synthesized polymers were investigated. With increasing the length of the alkyl side chain, the UV and fluorescence spectra exhibit an obvious blue shift compared with those of the unsubstituted polymer. The alkyl substitution improves the thermal spectral stability of the polymers due to the steric hindrance of the alkyl side chains, thus leading to efficient separation of the main chain backbones. The phase transition behavior is closely related to the length of the alkyl side chains attached on the phenylene rings. The annealed films of the polymers display characteristic nematic liquid crystalline texture. TEM observations indicate that solvent-cast thin deposits of all the polymers show typical fibrillar morphology.

CO2和N2电还原中缺陷及界面工程的最新进展

实现碳氮循环是人类社会发展的迫切要求,也是催化领域的热门研究课题。在可再生能源的推动下,电催化技术引起了人们的广泛关注,且可以通过改变反应电压获得不同的目标产品。基于此,电催化技术被认为是缓解当前能源危机和环境问题的有效策略,对实现碳中和具有重要意义。其中,电催化CO₂还原反应(CO₂RR)和N₂还原反应(N₂RR)是一种有前途的小分子转化策略。然而,CO₂和N₂均为线性分子,其中C＝O和N≡N键的高解离能导致了它们高的化学惰性。此外,最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)和最低未占分子轨道(LUMO)之间的巨大能量间隙使它们具有高的化学稳定性;且CO₂和N₂的低质子亲和力使它们难以被直接质子化。另一方面,由于CO₂RR和N₂RR与析氢反应(HER)具有相近的氧化还原电位,造成其与HER之间存在竞争性关系,这也是致使催化剂在CO₂RR和N₂RR转化效率低的重要影响因素。因此,CO₂RR和N₂RR仍然面临着过电位高及法拉第效率低等问题。为了克服这些瓶颈,人们为提升CO₂RR和N₂RR电催化剂性能做出了很多努力。众所周知,电催化过程发生在催化剂表面,主要涉及质量传递和电子转移等过程。由此可见,催化剂的性能与其质量和电子传输能力密切相关,而调控催化剂表面结构可以优化活性点的质量和电子转移行为。电催化剂的缺陷和界面工程可通过表面原子工程来实现电子结构调控,对于提高气体吸附能力、抑制HER、富集气体及稳定中间产物等具有重要意义。到目前为止,所报道的各种缺陷和复合电催化剂在提高CO₂RR和N₂RR催化性能等方面均表现出巨大的潜力。在此,我们综述了CO₂RR和N₂RR中催化剂缺陷工程及界面工程的最新进展;首先讨论了四种不同的缺陷(空位、高指数晶面、晶格应变和晶格无序)对CO₂RR和N₂RR性能的影响;然后,总结了界面工程在聚合物-无机复合材料催化剂中的重要作用,并给出了典型实例;最后,展望了原子级电催化剂工程的发展前景,提出了开发和设计高效CO₂RR和N₂RR电催化剂的未来发展方向。     

原子转移自由基聚合引发体系的最新研究

本文介绍了关于原子转移自由基聚合(ATRP)引发-活化-失活过程的最新研究情况,包括RATRP、SR&NI ATRP、AGET ATRP、ARGET ATRP以及ICAR ATRP等新型ATRP引发体系.这些新型ATRP体系克服了通常ATRP体系的缺点,比如低价态过渡金属催化剂容易氧化和用量过大的问题,而采用高价态过渡金属催化剂,并极大降低了其用量.尤其是后两种体系仅需微量(1-50ppm)、价态稳定的过渡金属络合物控制聚合反应的进行,使其成为一种适合于工业化生产的活性可控聚合技术.本文同时介绍了杂化及双金属ATRP催化体系,这两种新型催化体系具有较高的催化活性和对聚合反应的调控能力,且通过简单地过滤或沉降就可从聚合产物中脱除.     

Effect of Linker Length and Flexibility on the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Clostridium thermocellum</Emphasis> Esterase Displayed on <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacillus subtilis</Emphasis> Spores

In fusion protein design strategies, the flexibility and length of linkers are important parameters affecting the bioactivity of multifunctional proteins. A series of fusion proteins with different linkers were constructed. The effect of temperature, pH, and organic solvents was investigated on the enzymatic activity. Fusion proteins with P1(PTPTPT) and P2((PTPTPT)₂) linkers remained highly active with wide temperature range. At pH 9.6, the relative activity of fusion proteins with (PTPTPT)₂ and S2(EGKSSGSGSESKST) linkers was 70 and 62 % (1.75 and 1.5 times of that of non-linker ones). Fusion proteins with S3((GGGGS)₄) linker retained 55 % activity after 5 h of incubation at 80 °C (1.2-fold of that of non-linker fusion proteins and 1.9-fold of GGGGS-linker fusion proteins). Finally, the relative activity of fusion proteins having different linkers was increased with 20 % dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol; relative activity of fusion proteins with EGKSSGSGSESKST linkers was enhanced 1.5- and 2.2-fold, respectively. These results suggest that longer flexible linker can enhance the activity and stability of displayed esterase than shorter flexible linker. Optimizing peptide linkers with length, flexibility, and amino acid composition could improve the thermostability and activity of the displayed enzyme.     

Confocal depth‐resolved fluorescence micro‐X‐ray absorption spectroscopy for the study of cultural heritage materials: a new mobile endstation at the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility

A confocal fluorescence endstation for depth‐resolved micro‐X‐ray absorption spectroscopy is described. A polycapillary half‐lens defines the incident beam path and a second polycapillary half‐lens at 90° defines the probe sample volume. An automatic alignment program based on an evolutionary algorithm is employed to make the alignment procedure efficient. This depth‐resolved system was examined on a general X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) beamline at the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility. Sacrificial red glaze (AD 1368–1644) china was studied to show the capability of the instrument. As a mobile endstation to be applied on multiple beamlines, the confocal system can improve the function and flexibility of general XAS beamlines, and extend their capabilities to a wider user community.
