An efficient and regioselective synthesis of functionalized triphenylenes via palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and subsequent intramolecular CH activation between arylboronic acids and dibromobiphenyls was developed. This methodology showed excellent atomic economy and regiospecificity as well as synthetic feasibility of unsymmetrical triphenylenes.     

Resolving quantum dots and peptide assembly and disassembly using bending capillary electrophoresis

Despite the numerous techniques developed for the studying nanoparticle and peptide interaction nowadays, sensitive and convenient assay in the process of flow, especially to simulate the self‐assembly of quantum dots (QDs) and peptide inflow in blood vessels, still remains big challenges. Here, we report a novel assay for studying the self‐assembly of QDs and peptide, based on CE using a bending capillary. We demonstrate that the semicircles numbers of the bending capillary affect the self‐assembly kinetics of CdSe/ZnS QDs and ATTO‐D₃LVPRGSGP₉G₂H₆ peptide. Moreover, benefitting from this novel assay, the effect of the position on the self‐assembly has also been realized. More importantly, we also demonstrate that this novel assay can be used for studying the stability of the QDs–peptide complex inflow. We believe that our novel assay proposed in this work could be further used as a general strategy for the studying nanoparticle–biomolecule interaction or biomolecule–biomolecule interaction.     

Advantageous Interfacial Effects of AgPd/g-C3N4 for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution: Electronic Structure and H2O Dissociation

Bimetallic AgPd nanoparticles have been synthesized before, but the interfacial electronic effects of AgPd on the photocatalytic performance have been investigated less. In this work, the results of hydrogen evolution suggest that the bimetallic AgPd/g-C₃N₄ sample has superior activity to Ag/g-C₃N₄ and Pd/g-C₃N₄ photocatalysts. The UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, CO adsorption diffuse reflectance FTIR spectroscopy, and FTIR results demonstrate that in the AgPd/g-C₃N₄, the surface electronic structures of Pd and Ag are changed, which is beneficial for faster photogenerated electron transfer and greater H₂O molecule adsorption. In situ ESR spectra suggest that, under visible light irradiation, there is more H₂O dissociation to radical species on the AgPd/g-C₃N₄ photocatalyst. Furthermore, DFT calculations confirm the interfacial electronic effects of AgPd/g-C₃N₄, that is, Pd^δ−⋅⋅⋅Ag^δ+, and the activation energy of H₂O molecule dissociation on AgPd/g-C₃N₄ is the lowest, which is the main contributor to the enhanced photocatalytic H₂ evolution.     

Fast switching beam steering based on ferroelectric liquid crystal phase shutter and polarisation grating

We report on fast-switching and high-efficient optical beam steering based on a polymerisable liquid crystal polarisation grating (PG) in combination with ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) phase shutter. The PG was fabricated in a convenient single-step holographic exposure process using photo-sensitive azo-dye material as alignment layer for liquid crystal (LC) director. A binary electro-optical FLC was employed for circular polarisation selection, which enables the electro-tunable steering of the combined system. The efficiency of 95.7% with 82 μs switching time is obtained for 1064 nm laser. This work provides a versatile candidate for non-mechanical beam steering devices.     

Mo的引入方式对CeO2脱硝性能的影响

固定源排放的氮氧化物(NOx)导致了严重的环境污染问题,NH3选择性催化还原(NH3-SCR)被认为是目前控制NOx排放的最有效技术,已广泛应用于电力行业的烟气排放治理.然而,我国非电行业的NOx减排仍然面临着重大挑战,因为其排放的废气温度通常低于300oC,且含有一定量的SO2,传统的钒基SCR催化剂因活性温度(300～400oC)较高而无法有效发挥作用.因此,亟待开发新型的高效低温SCR催化剂.铈基催化剂由于氧化铈(CeO2)的优异储氧能力(OSC)和良好的氧化还原能力而显示出较好的低温(80～300oC)脱硝性能,如Mn-Ce,W-Ce,Ta-Ce,Cu-Ce和Nb-Ce等.但这些铈基催化剂易被烟气中的SO2毒化而导致催化活性降低.因此,提高铈基SCR催化剂抗硫中毒能力是其产业化应用的关键.已有研究发现,通过构筑结构保护层或添加另一种金属来保护活性组分是提高SCR催化剂抗硫性能的一种可行策略.氧化钼(MoO3)通常被用做传统V2O5/TiO2催化剂的促进剂以提高其水热稳定性和表面酸性.研究表明,在V/Ti催化剂中引入钼物种不仅可以提高其SCR活性,而且提高了V/Ti催化剂的抗SO2性能,这是由于VMo/Ti表面较少的V–O–V键削弱了对SO2的氧化作用.Tang等开发了一种Fe2O3/MoO3纳米片催化剂,显示出比纯Fe2O3更好的抗SO2能力,主要是由于层状结构的MoO3能阻止NH4+在硫酸氢铵中的沉积.目前关于Mo的引入方式即催化剂的制备方法对铈基催化剂物化性能和NH3-SCR催化性能(特别是抗SO2能力)的影响的研究还比较少.本文分别采用浸渍法和沉淀法在CeO2中引入钼物种,制备了Mo-CeO2和MoCe-cp催化剂来探究制备方法对MoCe催化剂的脱硝性能及抗SO2中毒能力的影响.结果表明,引入Mo可以显著地提高CeO2的低温脱硝性能,其中Mo-CeO2催化剂在150 oC即可达到80％以上的脱硝效率,同时抗SO2中毒性能也得到了显著提高.对催化剂结构、氧化还原能力、表面酸度和反应物分子的吸附脱附性质进行了表征,并与MoCe催化剂脱硝性能和抗硫性能相关联.结果表明,Mo-CeO2和MoCe-cp催化剂的物理化学性质和脱硝性能有明显区别.首先,Mo-CeO2中的钼物种主要存在于CeO2表面,而MoCe-cp中的钼物种主要存在于CeO2体相,其为Mo-CeO2表面带来大量的Br?nsted酸位并抑制了硝酸盐的吸附,促使NH3-SCR反应按照Eley-Rideal机理进行,进而表现出优于MoCe-cp的低温活性.其次,Mo-CeO2表面更多的Mo物种抑制了SO2的吸附,从而使Mo-CeO2表现出更好的抗SO2性能.本文为具有实际应用前景的铈基NH3-SCR催化剂的设计提供了参考.

Estimation of the Multivariate Normal Precision Matrix under the Entropy Loss

Let X ₁, , X _n (n > p) be a random sample from multivariate normal distribution N _p (, ), where R ^p and is a positive definite matrix, both and being unknown. We consider the problem of estimating the precision matrix ^–1. In this paper it is shown that for the entropy loss, the best lower-triangular affine equivariant minimax estimator of ^–1 is inadmissible and an improved estimator is explicitly constructed. Note that our improved estimator is obtained from the class of lower-triangular scale equivariant estimators.     

Remote Construction of Chiral Vicinal Tertiary and Quaternary Centers by Catalytic Asymmetric 1,6‐Conjugate Addition of Prochiral Carbon Nucleophiles to Cyclic Dienones

An unprecedented remote construction of chiral vicinal tertiary and quaternary centers by a catalytic asymmetric 1,6‐conjugate addition of prochiral carbon nucleophiles to cyclic dienones has been developed. Both 5H‐oxazol‐4‐ones and 2‐oxindoles were found to be very efficient carbon nucleophiles in this reaction at a remote position, giving products with excellent enantio‐ and diastereoselectivities (up to 99 % ee and >19:1 d.r. for 5H‐oxazol‐4‐ones and up to 97 % ee and >19:1 d.r. for 2‐oxindoles).
