Preparation of ZnFe<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanoparticles by mechanical alloying and annealing for sensitizing C-modified TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> and acquirement of efficient photocatalyst

ZnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles sensitized by C-modified TiO₂ hybrids (ZnFe₂O₄–TiO₂/C) were successfully prepared by a feasible method. The ZnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles were prepared by mechanical alloying and annealing. The residual organic compounds in the synthetic process of TiO₂ were selected as the carbon source. The as-prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible light diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–Vis) and N₂ adsorption–desorption analysis. The photocatalytic activity of the photocatalysts was measured by degradation of methyl orange under ultraviolet (UV) light and simulated solar irradiation, respectively. The results show that the carbon did not enter the TiO₂ lattice but adhered to the surface of TiO₂. The photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared C-modified TiO₂ (TiO₂/C) improved both under UV and simulated solar light irradiation, but the improvement was not dramatic. Introduction of ZnFe₂O₄ into the TiO₂/C could enhance the absorption spectrum range. The ZnFe₂O₄–TiO₂/C hybrids exhibited a higher photocatalytic activity both than that of the pure TiO₂ and TiO₂/C under either UV or simulated solar light irradiation. The complex synergistic effect plays an important role in improving the photocatalytic performance of ZnFe₂O₄–TiO₂/C composites. The optimum photocatalytic performance was obtained from the ZnFe₂O₄(0.8 wt%)–TiO₂/C sample.

One-pot synthesis,characterization, and drug loading of polysaccharide-based nanoparticles with carboxy functional groups

Herein, various polysaccharide-based nanoparticles were synthesized from dextran, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and hydroxyethyl cellulose, respectively, by a self-assembly assisted approach. This approach enables us to prepare stable polysaccharide-based nanoparticles with carboxy functional groups directly from monomers without using any surfactant and organic solvent. The existence of abundant carboxyls in these polysaccharide-based nanoparticles provides them obvious pH sensitivity as verified by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance as well as the potential in loading cationic drug.

Facile synthesis of magnetic microcapsules by synchronous formation of magnetite nanoparticles

Magnetite/poly (lactic acid) (PLA) composite microcapsules with controllable composition and magnetic property were synthesized by a facile interfacial coprecipitation joint double emulsion–solvent evaporation process. In this method, the interfacial coprecipitation was performed at the water-in-oil (W₁/O) interface and the generated Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were incorporated into PLA microcapsules simultaneously. The magnetite content of the resultant composite microcapsules can be controlled as high as 38 wt.%. This novel method not only simplifies the fabrication process but also improves the magnetic property of composite microcapsules.     

Synthesis of Mesoporous Platinum–Palladium Alloy Films by Electrochemical Plating in Aqueous Surfactant Solutions

Mesoporous platinum–palladium alloy films with different compositional ratios have been successfully synthesized by electrochemical plating in aqueous surfactant solutions. Scanning electron micrographs and transmission electron micrographs reveal that all of the platinum–palladium alloy films possess uniform mesopores with a narrow size distribution (around 7 nm). The alloy compositions in the pore walls can be controlled by changing the compositional ratios in the precursor solutions, as confirmed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy analysis and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. Due to large surface areas, the prepared mesoporous platinum–palladium films show distinctly enhanced electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation reactions, compared with the commercially available platinum black catalyst. Furthermore, compared with mesoporous platinum film, the alloying of platinum with palladium has a critical effect on the enhanced electrocatalytic activity. In particular, a mesoporous Pt₈₂–Pd₁₈ film exhibits highly enhanced electrocatalytic activity.     

Color holographic display based on azo-dye-doped liquid crystal (Invited Paper)

A multiplexed holographic display video has been achieved by using a passive azo-dye-doped liquid crystal （LC） cell. Holograms formed in this cell can be refreshed in the order of several milliseconds. By angular multiplexing technique, dynamically multiplexed holographic videos are realized. Moreover, the reconstructed RGB images are merged into a color image, which illustrates the possibility of a color holographic three-dimensional （3D） display by holographic multiplexing of the LC cell.     

Rapid Analysis of Nitrate and Nitrite by Ion-Interaction Chromatography on a Monolithic Column

Ion-interaction chromatography with direct conductivity detection has been used for analysis of nitrate and nitrite. Chromatographic separation was performed on a monolithic silica-based C₁₈ column dynamically modified with tetrabutylammonium (TBA⁺). Using the optimized mobile phase, containing 2.0 mmol L^?1 TBA⁺ and 0.8 mmol L^?1 citrate (pH 6.0), delivered at a flow rate of 6.0 mL min^?1, separation of five anions (chloride, nitrite, bromide, nitrate, and sulfate) was achieved in only 40 s at a column temperature of 30 °C. The detection limits for nitrate and nitrite were 0.74 and 0.92 mg L^?1, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 5) of the retention times of nitrate and nitrite was 0.1% and RSD of chromatographic peak areas were 0.4 and 0.2%, respectively. The method was successfully used for analysis of the anions in groundwater. Recovery of nitrate and nitrite was 99.1 and 105%, respectively.
