Influence of post-annealing temperature on properties of ZnO:Li thin films

Li-doped ZnO thin films were prepared on glass substrates by DC reactive magnetron sputtering. The influence of post-annealing temperature on the electrical, structural, and optical properties of the films was investigated. A conversion from p-type conduction to n-type in a range of temperature was confirmed by Hall measurement. The optimal p-type conduction is achieved at the annealing temperature of 500 °C with a resistivity of 57 Ω cm, carrier concentration of 1.07 × 10¹⁷ cm⁻³ and Hall mobility of 1.03 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹. From the temperature-dependent PL analysis, the energy level of Li_Zn acceptor was determined to be 140 meV above the valence band.     

Immobilization of glucose oxidase with the blend of regenerated silk fibroin and poly(vinyl alcohol) and its application to a 1,1′- dimethylferrocene-mediating glucose sensor

The structure and properties of the blend of regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were investigated. The two polymers in the blend are in the state of phase segregation. Infrared (IR) spectra indicate that the RSF in the blend maintains its intrinsic properties, thus, ethanol treatment can transfer silk I structure of RSF to silk II structure. The water absorption property and mechanical property of the blend are improved in comparison with those of RSF. The blend maintains the major merit of RSF, that is, it can immobilize glucose oxidase on the basis of the conformational transition from silk I structure to silk II structure. The properties of the immobilized enzyme are examined. Moreover, the second generation of glucose sensor based on the immobilized enzyme is fabricated and it has a variety of advantages including easy maintenance of enzyme, simplicity of construction, fast response time and high stability.     

Oxidation of Stereo‐regular Poly(styrene‐co‐4‐methylstyrene) by Cobalt(II) Acetate Tetrahydrate/Sodium Bromide Catalyst

Chemical modification on the stereo‐regular poly(styrene‐co‐4‐methylstyrene) (sPS‐PMS) was attempted in this study. Metallocene copolymerization of styrene (St) and 4‐methylstyrene (MSt) was performed by using η⁵‐pentamethylcyclopentadienyl‐titanium(IV)tributoxide (Cp*Ti(OBu)₃)/methylaluminoxane (MAO)/tri‐iso‐butylaluminum (TIBA) catalyst in the bulk state. Cobalt(II) catalyst was then applied to oxidize the benzylic methyl group on the MSt units of the resulting sPS‐PMS copolymer. Both aldehyde and carboxylic acid in the oxidized products were resolved by the FTIR and ¹H NMR. The oxidized sPS‐PMSs exhibit a low and a high‐temperature T_g and T_m corresponding to the transitions in the amorphous and the crystalline regions. Hydrogen‐bond and polar interactions between the aldehyde and carboxylic acids tend to interrupt the regular chain packing of the oxidized sPS‐PMS, resulting in the lowering of T_m with oxidation level. The oxidized sPS‐PMS showed better adhesion to glass fiber than pure sPS‐PMS copolymer as evaluated from the respective SEM fractured micrographs.     

Comparison of adsorbents for on-line solid-phase extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons before liquid chromatography with UV detection

Summary On-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled with reversed-phase liquid chromatography and UV detection at 254 nm has been used for the determination of trace-level polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in soil extracts. Five commercially available adsorbents (C₈, C₁₈, PLRP-S, PRP-1, and Bond-Elut Env) were evaluated. Results showed that recovery of the PAH decreased with increasing molecular weight, because of their poorer solubility. Recovery of high-molecular-weight PAH was significantly improved by addition of 10% (v/v) acetonitrile to the sample before loading of the SPE adsorbent. PAH recovery ranged from 64.0 to 108% when a 50 mL sample spiked with 1 μg L⁻¹ was applied to these adsorbents. Determination of PAH was possible with detection limits below 0.05 μg L⁻¹, which corresponds to 0.2 μg kg⁻¹ soil. The method was successfully used to determine PAH in soil extracts.

Synthesis,Structure, and Stability of Cs4ZrO4

The colorless Cs₄ZrO₄ is obtained from the reaction of stoichiometric proportions of Cs, CsO₂, and finely divided ZrO₂ in a sealed Ag container at 400–650°C for several days. Regrinding and re-reaction provide a single phase sample. The compound is monoclinic (P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 7.172 (1) Å, b = 19.907 (1) Å, c = 7.157 (1) Å, β = 113.1 (1)Å, R = 0.032) and isostructural with Cs₄PbO₄, with isolated ZrO₄^4? tetrahedra (d(Zr–O) = 1.97 Å). The compound decomposes to Cs₂ZrO₃ (a) in the presence of excess oxygen or CsO₂, (b) in high vacuum near 275°C, or (c) in a sealed container at about 730 ± 10°C.     

Resonance enhanced three-photon absorption of molecular iodine

D ← X resonance enhanced three-photon excitation spectrum of iodine was observed by a cw intracavity absorption technique. Vibrational quantum numbers of D ← X transitions are given for every major spectral feature. The corresponding one-photon enhancement from the B state is evident from the one-photon vibrational assignment. The spectroscopic constants for the D state are v₀₀ = 40 998 cm^?1 ω′₀ = 113 cm^?1 and ω′₀χ′₀ = 0.045 cm^?.     

A hydrated amorphous iron oxide nanoparticle as active water oxidation catalyst

Developing efficient water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) with earth-abundant elements still remains a challenging task for artificial photosynthesis. Iron-based WOC is a promising candidate because it is economically cheap, little toxic and environmentally friendly. In this study, we found that the catalytic water oxidation activity on amorphous iron-based oxide/hydroxide (FeO_x) can be decreased by an order of magnitude after the dehydration process at room temperature. Thermogravimetric analysis, XRD and Raman results indicated that the dehydration process of FeO_x at room temperature causes the almost completely loss of water molecule with no bulk structural changes. Based on this finding, we prepared hydrated ultrasmall (ca. 2.2 nm) FeO_x nanoparticles of amorphous feature, which turns out to be extremely active as WOC with turnover frequency (TOF) up to 9.3 s^?1 in the photocatalytic Ru(bpy)₃²⁺-Na₂S₂O₈ system. Our findings suggest that future design of active iron-based oxides as WOCs requires the consideration of their hydration status.
