Cross-Linked Polyphosphazene Hollow Nanosphere-Derived N/P-Doped Porous Carbon with Single Nonprecious Metal Atoms for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Heteroatom-doped polymers or carbon nanospheres have attracted broad research interest. However, rational synthesis of these nanospheres with controllable properties is still a great challenge. Herein, we develop a template-free approach to construct cross-linked polyphosphazene nanospheres with tunable hollow structures. As comonomers, hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene provides N and P atoms, tannic acid can coordinate with metal ions, and the replaceable third comonomer can endow the materials with various properties. After carbonization, N/P-doped mesoporous carbon nanospheres were obtained with small particle size (≈50 nm) and high surface area (411.60 m² g⁻¹). Structural characterization confirmed uniform dispersion of the single atom transition metal sites (i.e., Co-N₂P₂) with N and P dual coordination. Electrochemical measurements and theoretical simulations revealed the oxygen reduction reaction performance. This work provides a solution for fabricating diverse heteroatom-containing polymer nanospheres and their derived single metal atom doped carbon catalysts.     

A General Strategy for Hollow Metal-Phytate Coordination Complex Micropolyhedra Enabled by Cation Exchange

The ability to incorporate functional metal ions (Mⁿ⁺) into metal–organic coordination complexes adds remarkable flexibility in the synthesis of multifunctional organic–inorganic hybrid materials with tailorable electronic, optical, and magnetic properties. We report the cation-exchanged synthesis of a diverse range of hollow Mⁿ⁺-phytate (PA) micropolyhedra via the use of hollow Co²⁺-PA polyhedral networks as templates at room temperature. The attributes of the incoming Mⁿ⁺, namely Lewis acidity and ionic radius, control the exchange of the parent Co²⁺ ions and the degree of morphological deformation of the resulting hollow micropolyhedra. New functions can be obtained for both completely and partially exchanged products, as supported by the observation of Ln³⁺ (Ln³⁺=Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺, and Sm³⁺) luminescence from as-prepared hollow Ln³⁺-PA micropolyhedra after surface modification with dipicolinic acid as an antenna. Moreover, Fe³⁺- and Mn²⁺-PA polyhedral complexes were employed as magnetic contrast agents.     

四卤化锰(Ⅱ)配合物的结构调控及力致发光性能

力致发光是一种力刺激诱导的发光现象。由于其独特的发光方式,使得力致发光材料在结构损伤检测、压力传感、显示和安全标记等方面展现出了巨大的应用价值。目前已报道的力致发光材料大多基于无机材料体系,而有机力致发光材料体系相对较少,并且人们对其发光机理的认识仍不清晰。在本文中,我们发现锰(Ⅱ)配合物[BPP]2[Mn Br4]具有力致发光特性,并在此基础上设计合成了一系列具有力致发光性质的四卤化锰(Ⅱ)配合物。改变有机阳离子配体或者卤素阴离子可对其光物理性质进行有效调控。固态下,这些锰(Ⅱ)配合物均显示出了较强的光致发光现象,同时表现出了明显的力致发光特性。晶体结构分析表明,分子内/分子间强的C―H…X (X=Br或Cl)相互作用对锰(Ⅱ)配合物的力致发光起到了至关重要的作用,它可在较大程度上降低由分子振动和旋转造成的能量损失。本工作将为力刺激响应型材料体系的拓展提供一定的参考价值。     

In situ Carbon Modification of g-C3N4 from Urea co-Crystal with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity Towards Degradation of Organic Dyes Under Visible Light

An in situ strategy was introduced for synthesizing carbon modified graphitic carbon nitride(g-C₃N₄) by using urea/4-aminobenzoic acid(PABA) co-crystal(PABA@Urea) as precursor materials. Via co-calcination of the PABA co-former and the urea in PABA@Urea co-crystals, C guest species were generated and compounded into g-C₃N₄ matrix in situ by replacing the lattice N of the carbon nitride and forming carbon dots onto its layer surface. The carbon modification dramatically enhanced visible-light harvesting and charge carrier separation. Therefore, visible light photo-catalytic oxidation of methylene blue(MB) pollution in water over the carbon modified g-C₃N₄(C/g-C₃N₄) was notably improved. Up to 99% of methylene blue(MB) was eliminated within 60 min by the optimal sample prepared from the PABA@Urea co-crystal with a PABA content of 0.1%(mass ratio), faster than the degradation rate over bare g-C₃N₄. The present study demonstrates a new way to boost up the photocatalysis performance of g-C₃N₄, which holds great potential concerning the degradation of organic dyes from water.     

Application of Lectin Microarrays for Biomarker Discovery

Many proteins in living organisms are glycosylated. As their glycan patterns exhibit protein-, cell-, and tissue-specific heterogeneity, changes in the glycosylation levels could serve as useful indicators of various pathological and physiological states. Thus, the identification of glycoprotein biomarkers from specific changes in the glycan profiles of glycoproteins is a trending field. Lectin microarrays provide a new glycan analysis platform, which enables rapid and sensitive analysis of complex glycans without requiring the release of glycans from the protein. Recent developments in lectin microarray technology enable high-throughput analysis of glycans in complex biological samples. In this review, we will discuss the basic concepts and recent progress in lectin microarray technology, the application of lectin microarrays in biomarker discovery, and the challenges and future development of this technology. Given the tremendous technical advancements that have been made, lectin microarrays will become an indispensable tool for the discovery of glycoprotein biomarkers.     

内孤立波作用下潜深对潜体运动响应和载荷特性的影响研究

内孤立波常发生于海洋密度跃层, 因其峰高谷深、携带能量巨大, 在传播过程中会导致跃层上下的海水流动呈现剪切状态, 并引起突发性的强流. 潜体在水下悬停时极有可能会遭遇内孤立波, 由于内孤立波的流场特性, 置于跃层上下的悬浮潜体所产生运动响应和水动力载荷变化不尽相同, 甚者会出现掉深现象. 为探究潜深对波体耦合作用的影响, 基于不可压缩N-S方程和mKdV理论, 采用速度入口造波, 结合重叠网格技术和流固耦合方法, 建立了分层流中内孤立波耦合水下潜体多自由度运动的数值模型, 通过该模型分析了不同潜深下悬浮潜体的运动响应和载荷特性. 结果表明: 在内孤立波作用下, 位于密度跃层上方和跃层中的潜体顺着波的前进方向运动, 先下沉后抬升, 位于跃层下方的潜体则会逆流持续下沉; 潜体与波面的垂向距离越小, 对其纵荡、垂荡和速度的影响越显著, 而位于密度跃层中的潜体在分界面处沿着波形运动, 其运动响应和载荷变化受影响较小; 潜体在跃层上、下流体中所受水平力的方向相反, 水平力峰值小于垂向力峰值, 且位于跃层下方的潜体一直受到低头力矩, 最终导致掉深.      

高马赫数下激波液滴相互作用的数值模拟研究

本文采用守恒清晰界面多相流数值方法模拟了超声速和高超声速环境下三维液滴的推进、变形和破碎演化过程.数值模拟结果与实验数据的一致性表明了本文所用数值方法和计算程序的准确性, 而网格无关性研究验证了采用的网格分辨率可以捕捉流场和界面的主要特征. 模拟结果验证了高韦伯数下液滴变形破碎过程所遵循的剪切诱导剥离(SIE)破碎机制, 其包含液滴的扁平化和剪切剥离两个主要特征. 而最近发现的SIE破碎机制下的循环破碎机制也在本文得到了验证, 即主液滴从球形液滴破碎为小液滴会经历多个循环重复的破碎阶段, 高韦伯数下液滴的破碎并非一次性剪切剥离的结果, 而是会发生逐层的剪切剥离和破碎. 本文还研究了马赫数对激波冲击液滴加速变形过程的影响. 结果表明, 高韦伯数下不同马赫数的液滴破碎过程具有高度一致性, 并遵循统一的SIE破碎机制.通过对液滴质心位移、速度、加速度和拽力系数的量化统计揭示其运动过程中的统一加速规律. 在激波的驱动下, 液滴并非以一个恒定的加速度做加速运动.在扁平化不明显的前期, 液滴以一个恒定的加速度做加速运动.随着液滴扁平化的发生, 迎风面积的增加导致拽力系数的增大, 进而导致液滴加速度的不断增大.      

完全拉格朗日SPH在冲击问题中的改进和应用

光滑粒子流体动力学(smoothed particle hydrodynamics, SPH)在模拟固体大变形、破碎和裂纹扩展等问题中有天然的优势, 但SPH固有的拉伸不稳定缺陷是SPH在计算固体力学领域进一步应用的一大障碍. 完全拉格朗日SPH (total Lagrangian-SPH, TL-SPH)方法是一种有效的改善拉伸不稳定的措施, 但其仍面临边界区域精度低、界面条件难以施加、损伤裂纹难以模拟等缺陷. 因此, 首先将可达到二阶精度的高阶SPH方法与TL-SPH耦合, 为了节省高阶方法的计算量, 进一步简化粒子选取模式, 提出TL-SFPM (TL-simplified finite particle method)方法; 其次, 将可提高界面精度的DFPM (discontinuous finite particle method)方法与TL-SPH结合, 并提出一种基于黎曼解的界面接触算法, 通过在不同材料粒子间建立黎曼模型求解不同材料间的相互作用, 分别应用于流体?固体接触和固体?固体接触中; 再者, 为了捕捉固体受外载荷后的损伤程度及破坏模式, 提出一种完全拉格朗日框架下的粒子损伤破坏模型; 最后, 通过流?固冲击的带弹性挡板溃坝算例和固?固冲击的子弹撞击靶板算例验证提出的TL-SFPM方法、界面接触算法和损伤破坏模型的合理性和精确性, 进一步扩展TL-SPH方法在计算固体冲击问题中的应用.

颤振环境MoS2/Ag薄膜碰撞滑动接触摩擦性能研究

基于空间机构的运动特性,考虑空间颤振环境的影响,采用粗粒化分子动力学研究MoS₂/Ag薄膜的碰撞滑动接触摩擦性能,建立颤振环境碰撞滑动接触摩擦的粗粒化分子动力学模型,对比了纯Ag和MoS₂/Ag薄膜的摩擦性能,研究了初始碰撞速度、滑动速度以及空间温度对碰撞滑动接触摩擦过程的影响. 结果表明:与纯Ag相比,MoS₂/Ag薄膜表现出更优异的摩擦性能;压头碰撞速度对动能有一定的贡献,初始碰撞速度的增加会增大压头压入基体的深度,使得平均摩擦力增大;滑动速度的增加会加剧原子间的相互剪切摩擦,使平均摩擦力增加;MoS₂/Ag薄膜在100~500 K温度范围内表现出良好的摩擦性能,当空间温度为600 K时,其摩擦性能降低,并伴随着MoS₂膜的破裂.
