Instability Origin and Improvement Scheme of Facial Alq3 for Blue OLED Application

Degradation phenomenon and poor stability of tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum(III)(Alq₃)-based organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) have attracted much attention. In this paper, we discussed the origin of instability of the facial Alq₃-based blue luminescent OLEDs with the help of first-principles calculation. The results show that environmental humidity seriously affects the luminescence stability of Alq₃-based OLEDs. H₂O molecules in environment can be firmly bound to the oxygen atoms of the facial Alq₃, which then act as starting points for further degradation of Alq₃. Moreover, the interactions between facial Alq₃ and different cathode metal layers were investigated to explain the experiment phenomenon. A design guideline for diminishing the strong attraction from oxygen atoms can be proposed to protect Alq₃ and improve the stability of materials applied in OLEDs.     

Effective Removal of Tetracycline by Using Biochar Supported Fe3O4 as a UV-Fenton Catalyst

Novel Fe3O4-decorate hierarchical porous carbon skeleton derived from maize straw(Fe3O4@MSC)was synthesized by a facile co-precipitation process and a calcination process,which was developed as a UV assisted heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst.The as-synthesized catalysts were characterized via X-ray powder diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM),transmission electron microscope(TEM),Brunauer-Emmet-Teller(BET)and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM)at room temperature.The morphology and structure analysis revealed that the as-prepared Fe3O4@MSC retained the original pore morphology of the maize straw material.The non-uniform poly- hedral Fe3O4 grew on the whole surface of the MSC,which reduced the aggragation of Fe3O4 and provided more active sites to strengthen the UV-assisted Fenton-like reaction.As a result,the tetracycline(TC)degradation efficiency after 40 min reaction and total organic carbon(TOC)removal efficiency after 2 h reaction of Fe3O4@MSC catalyzing UV-Fenton system reached 99.2%and 72.1%,respectively,which were more substantial than those of Fe3O4@MSC/H2O2(31.5%and 2%),UV/H2O2 system(68%and 23.4%)and UV/Fe3O4/H2O2(80% and 37.5%).The electron spin resonance(ESR)results showed that the ·OH played an important role in the catalytic reaction.A possible degradation pathway of TC was proposed on the basis of the identified intermediates.Overall,the UV assisted heterogeneous Fenton-like process in Fe3O4@MSC improved the cycle of Fe^3+/Fe^2+ and activated the interfacial catalytic site,which eventually realized the enhancement of degradation and mineralization to tetracycline.     

Influence of NaCl on Cathode Performance of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Degradation induced by sodium chloride in air was investigated for (La_0.8Sr_0.2)_0.98MnO₃(LSM) and La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O₃(LSCF) cathodes in solid oxide fuel cells(SOFC). Cell performance was measured by volatilizing NaCl to be supplied to the cathode at a constant current density of 200 mA/cm² for up to 100 h. At 800 ℃, an exposure of the cathode to 30 mg/L NaCl caused negligible degradation of LSM at least for 100 h. Slight change in the composition of the cathode materials was observed which may imply the gradual degradation of cell performance for the long-term. In addition, cell performance degradation was compared between 700 ℃ and 900 ℃, being poisoned by 30 mg/L NaCl. Degradation was negligible for LSM cathode, while LSCF cathode showed slightly poor tolerance at 700 ℃ due to the decomposition of the cathode material. Further studies should be done to clarify the long-term influence of NaCl on cathode performance.     

壳聚糖混合膜酶降解的FTIR分析

生物可降解性是壳聚糖的重要性质之一,但利用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)研究降解过程中壳聚糖的变化则较少。文章制备了由高脱乙酰度壳聚糖(HDC)和中脱乙酰度壳聚糖(MDC)组成的混合膜。运用FTIR分析了壳聚糖混合膜组分变化对其红外谱图和脱乙酰度(DD)的影响,并研究了该混合膜在溶菌酶的降解作用下红外谱图和脱乙酰度的变化。发现壳聚糖混合膜材料的脱乙酰度与膜中MDC组分的比例呈线性关系;随降解的进行,混合膜的脱乙酰度增加。结果证实了溶菌酶对较低脱乙酰度壳聚糖的选择性降解作用,而且表明FTIR可用于分析壳聚糖混合膜降解过程中的化学变化。

基于敦煌辐射校正场的FY3B/VIRR反射太阳波段衰减分析

VIRR是搭载在我国最新一代极轨气象卫星FY-3B上的可见光红外扫描辐射计,发射后的遥感器需要进行不断的辐射定标校准以提高数据质量,更好的满足用户需求。为了研究FY3B/VIRR入轨后辐射响应的衰变规律,利用2011年—2015年敦煌辐射校正场同步试验数据,采用反射率基法计算其反射太阳波段的辐射定标系数,除受水汽吸收影响的波段10,其余各波段定标系数相对标准差均小于1.5%。以Aqua/MODIS为辐射基准验证了该方法的精度,结果表明,正演大气顶辐射与卫星观测值的平均偏差均小于2.5%。基于上述五年的VIRR定标结果,结合发射前定标系数,计算了遥感器的年际衰变率,结果表明:仪器衰减显示出一定的波长依赖性,波长越短的波段衰减越大;与发射前定标系数相比,入轨第一年的仪器定标系数有较大程度的变化;随着在轨运行时间变长,仪器衰减趋势开始减缓,在轨运行的第二和第三年衰减均大幅减小;从第四年开始波长0.8μm的波段,有衰减增大的趋势;在轨运行两年后,波长0.8μm的波段部分年份出现了响应增加的现象;与孙凌等的FY3A/MERSI衰减变化规律相比,衰减率和波长的相关性是一致的,但MERSI在0.65μm的波段3和13均出现相应增加的现象,而VIRR在该波长处的波段1却有衰减增大的趋势;综合历年的衰减率可以看出,波长较短的波段7,8和9年衰减率基本大于5%。

Radiation effects on dihydroxypropyl-chitosan

Dihydroxypropyl-chitosan (DHP-chitosan), a derivative of chitosan used in practical applications, is hardly soluble in water because of the strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding. In order to improve its even more advanced practical applications, some further modifications of the polymer using electron beam radiation technique were carried out. In the current work, diluted lactic acid was used to improve the solubility of DHP-chitosan as a subversive of hydrogen bonding. The effects of electron beam radiation on the DHP-chitosan in solid state and solution state were investigated. It was found that solid state and low concentrated solution state result in degradation and high concentrated solution state is favorable for crosslinking. And a simple, effective strategy to achieve a novel DHP-chitosan hydrogel without any crosslinking agents was developed in a high concentrated polymer solution system under irradiation.
