Visible and near-infrared light activated azo dyes

The photoisomerization properties of azo derivatives have been widely used in the fields of materials and biology.One serious restriction to the development of functional azo-based materials is the necessity to trigger switching by UV light,which damage the corresponding surfaces and penetrate only partially through the matter.Therefore,developing the visible and near-infrared light activated azo switches can solve this problem.This review provides a summary of molecular design strategies for driving the isomerization of azo derivatives with visible light and near-infrared light:(1) smart design directly excited by visible light,(2) the addition of upconversion nanoparticles,(3) the employment of twophoton absorption,(4) indirect excitation in combination with metal sensitizer.     

Interference-induced enhancement of field entanglement in a microwave-driven V-type single-atom laser

We demonstrate the generation of two-mode continuous-variable (CV) entanglement in a V-type three-level atom trapped in a doubly resonant cavity using a microwave field driving a hyperfine transition between two upper excited states. By numerically simulating the dynamics of this system, our results show that the CV entanglement with large mean number of photons can be generated even in presence of the atomic relaxation and cavity losses. More interestingly, it is found that the intensity and period of entanglement can be enhanced significantly with the increasing of the atomic relaxation due to the existence of the perfect spontaneously generated interference between two atomic decay channels. Moreover, we also show that the entanglement can be controlled efficiently by tuning the intensity of spontaneously generated interference and the detuning of the cavity field.     

乘积图的Fractional控制

Let G =(V,E) be a simple graph.For any real function g :V-→ R and a subset S V,we write g(S) =∑v∈Sg(v).A function f :V-→ [0,1] is said to be a fractional dominating function(F DF) of G if f(N [v]) ≥ 1 holds for every vertex v ∈ V(G).The fractional domination number γf(G) of G is defined as γf(G) = min{f(V)|f is an F DF of G }.The fractional total dominating function f is defined just as the fractional dominating function,the difference being that f(N(v)) ≥ 1 instead of f(N [v]) ≥ 1.The fractional total domination number γ0f(G) of G is analogous.In this note we give the exact values ofγf(Cm × Pn) and γ0f(Cm × Pn) for all integers m ≥ 3 and n ≥ 2.     

Facile electrochemical synthesis of a conducting copolymer from 5-aminoindole and EDOT and its use as Pt catalyst support for formic acid electrooxidation

5-Aminoindole and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) were copolymerized electrochemically on a carbon cloth (CC) electrode in an aqueous sulfuric acid solution. The as-prepared copolymer was characterized by cyclic voltammogram, SEM, and UV-vis and FT-IR spectra through which the electrochemical properties, structure, and composition of the as-obtained copolymer were determined. The electrochemical activity and stability of the as-formed copolymer are significantly improved in comparison with poly(5-aminoindole) due to the incorporation of EDOT units into the conjugated chain. The copolymer film-modified CC electrode was used as substrate for Pt particle deposition (denoted as Pt/copolymer/CC), and then, its catalytic activity towards formic acid electrooxidation was studied. Experimental results indicate that the catalytic activity of Pt/copolymer/CC towards formic acid electrooxidation is enhanced in comparison with that of Pt/homopolymer/CC, which can be attributed to the homogeneous distribution of Pt nanoparticles on the copolymer/CC substrate and the improved electrochemical activity of the copolymer film.     

Highly sensitive lable-free electrochemical aptasensor for thrombin detection with cobalt hexacyanoferrate as the electrochemical probe

A highly sensitive label-free electrochemical aptasensor has been constructed for the electrochemical detection of thrombin (TB), where two layers of cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) redox probes sandwiched with carbon nanotubes–Nafion were directly immobilized on the electrode surface by electrodeposition. Through the strong interaction between CN^? (CoHCF) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs), GNPs were assembled on the CoHCF-modified electrode for the immobilization of thiolated thrombin aptamers (TBA). In the presence of target TB, TBA on the electrode surface could catch TB to form TBA–TB complex, which made a barrier for the electron transfer, resulting in a greater decrease in CoHCF redox probe signals. Thus, the proposed aptasensor showed a high sensitivity and a much wider linearity to TB in the range of 1.0 pg/mL?～?1.0 μg/mL with a detection limit of 0.28 pg/mL.

Removal of uranium(VI) from aqueous solutions by carboxyl-rich hydrothermal carbon spheres through low-temperature heat treatment in air

Carboxyl-rich hydrothermal carbon spheres were prepared by simply heating pristine hydrothermal carbon spheres (HCSs) at lower temperature in air, and the textural properties were characterized using Boehm titrations, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and elemental-analysis. The result of Boehm titrations indicated that the content of carboxyl groups on HCSs increased significantly from 0.53 to 3.81 mmol/g after heat-treatment at 300 °C, which was also confirmed by FT-IR and EA qualitatively. The ability of heat-treated HCSs has been explored for the removal and recovery of uranium from aqueous solutions, and the influences of different experimental parameters, such as heat-treatment temperature, contact time and ionic strength, on adsorption were investigated. The U(VI) sorption capacity of HCSs increased from 55.0 to 179.95 mg/g after heat-treatment at 300 °C for 5 h. Selective adsorption studies showed that the heat-treated HCSs could selectively remove U(VI), and the selectivity coefficients were improved after heat-treatment in the presence of co-existing ions, Na(I), Ni(II), Sr(II), Mn(II), Mg(II) and Zn(II). The adsorbent HCSs could be effectively regenerated by 0.05 mol/L HCl solution for the removal and recovery of U(VI). Complete removal (99.0 %) of U(VI) from 1.0 L industry wastewater containing 15.0 mg U(VI) ions was possible with 5.0 g heat-treated HCSs. In addition, a reaction mechanism for newly generating carboxyl groups on pristine HCSs surface during heat-treatment process and uranyl ion interaction with carboxyl-rich hydrothermal carbon spheres were also supposed.
