A simplified UV spectrometric method for determination of peroxide value in thermally oxidized canola oil

The aim of present study was to develop a simple method on UV spectrometer for the determination of peroxide value (PV) of the frying oil. The basis of the PV determination was the stoichiometric reaction of triphenylphosphine (TPP) with the hydroperoxides present in frying oil to produce triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), which exhibits a readily measurable absorption band at 240 nm by ultraviolet region. The PV ranged between 0.15 and 11.66 meq. of active oxygen per kilogram of oil as the canola oil was heated from 0 to 12 h in the fryer at 180 °C. The proposed method was correlated with official AOCS titration method and best correlation coefficient (R² = 0.99525) was achieved, proving that there is no significant difference in the results. Therefore, developed method could serve as an alternative to the titration method, for the determination of PV in frying oils.     

Effect of CO2 laser radiation on the surface properties of polyethylene terephthalate

The surfaces of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) obtained by irradiation with a CO₂ pulsed laser in air were studied. The complicated microstructures using various laser wavelengths were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The changes in chemical and physical properties of the irradiated PET surface were investigated by attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and contact angle measurements. ATR-IR spectrum showed that the crystallinity in the surface region decreased due to laser irradiation. The water drop contact angle also decreased with increasing of laser pulses. The density of peroxides formed on the irradiated PET surface were determined by iodide method.     

检测活性氧的荧光探针新进展

活性氧对于人体是十分重要的。然而,过量的活性氧是相当有害的,它们会对人体产生氧化损伤,导致细胞死亡。活性氧现在已经引起了化学、生物、医药等多个领域学者的浓厚兴趣,它们被认为和多种病理条件有密切的联系。由于活性氧寿命短、反应活性高,并且大部分都存在于体内很难被捕获,因此它们的分析测定是一项国际性难题。荧光探针作为活性氧的高灵敏的检测分析物,已经得到越来越广泛和深入的研究。由于每一种活性氧都有它独特的生理学活性,因此设计高选择性的,能够检测具体一种活性氧的荧光探针分子就显得十分重要。本文主要对近三年来检测单线态氧、过氧化氢、超氧阴离子和羟自由基这四种活性氧的荧光探针的研究进展进行综述,关注这类荧光探针的检测机理以及具体应用。

Covalent Organic Frameworks Containing Dual O2 Reduction Centers for Overall Photosynthetic Hydrogen Peroxide Production

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are highly desirable for achieving high-efficiency overall photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) via molecular design. However, precise construction of COFs toward overall photosynthetic H₂O₂ remains a great challenge. Herein, we report the crystalline s-heptazine-based COFs (HEP-TAPT-COF and HEP-TAPB-COF) with separated redox centers for efficient H₂O₂ production from O₂ and pure water. The spatially and orderly separated active sites in HEP-COFs can efficiently promote charge separation and enhance photocatalytic H₂O₂ production. Compared with HEP-TAPB-COF, HEP-TAPT-COF exhibits higher H₂O₂ production efficiency for integrating dual O₂ reduction active centers of s-heptazine and triazine moieties. Accordingly, HEP-TAPT-COF bearing dual O₂ reduction centers exhibits a remarkable solar-to-chemical energy efficiency of 0.65 % with a high apparent quantum efficiency of 15.35 % at 420 nm, surpassing previously reported COF-based photocatalysts.     

Multicomponent Synthesis of Imidazole-Linked Fully Conjugated 3D Covalent Organic Framework for Efficient Electrochemical Hydrogen Peroxide Production

The semiconducting properties and applications of three dimensional (3D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are greatly hampered because of their long-ranged non-conjugated skeletons and relatively unstable linkages. Here, a robust imidazole-linked fully conjugated 3D covalent organic framework (BUCT-COF-7) is synthesized through the one-pot multicomponent Debus-Radziszewski reaction of the saddle-shaped aldehyde-substituted cyclooctatetrathiophene, pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone, and ammonium acetate. The semiconducting BUCT-COF-7, as a metal-free catalyst, shows excellent two electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity in alkaline medium with high hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) selectivity of 83.4 %. When the BUCT-COF-7 as cathode catalyst is assembled into the electrolyzer, the devices showed high electrochemical production rate of H₂O₂ up to 326.9 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹. The accumulative amount of H₂O₂ could totally degrade the dye methylene blue via Fenton reaction for wastewater treatment. This is the first report about intrinsic 3D COFs for efficient electrochemical synthesis of H₂O₂, revealing the promising applications of fully conjugated 3D COFs in the environment-related field.     

制备方法对Nd_2O_3上过氧物种光诱导生成的影响

分别采用水解、水热和燃烧法制备了三种主要物相均为立方Nd_2O_3的样品。以325 nm激光为激发源,在室温和空气气氛下对上述样品上过氧物种的光诱导生成情况进行了比较考察。经Raman光谱仪的激光束照射后,三种样品上均可检测到过氧物种的生成,但燃烧法制备的样品上过氧的生成速率显著大于其他两种样品。O_2-和CO_2-TPD(程序升温脱附)的表征结果表明,与水解和水热法制备的立方Nd_2O_3相比,燃烧法制备的样品表面含有更多的低配位晶格氧物种,晶格氧的碱性也更强,因而更有利于在光诱导下与分子氧反应生成过氧物种。
