近紫外激发Gd2ZnTiO6∶Eu3+,Li+红色荧光粉的制备及荧光性能

采用溶胶-凝胶法成功制备出系列Eu³⁺掺杂和Li⁺、Eu³⁺共掺杂Gd₂ZnTiO₆红色荧光粉,并研究Li⁺、Eu³⁺掺杂对样品的晶体结构、微观形貌及发光性能的影响。结果显示,所制备的Gd₂ZnTiO₆∶Eu³⁺,Li⁺(GZT∶Eu³⁺,Li⁺) 荧光粉为双钙钛矿结构,属于单斜晶系(空间群:P2₁/n),大小为10 μm的无规则形状的颗粒。在395 nm近紫外光的激发下,GZT∶Eu³⁺的发射光谱展示出典型的Eu³⁺线状特征光谱,发射峰中心位于615 nm处,归属于Eu³⁺的⁵D₀→⁷F₂跃迁。Eu³⁺的最佳掺杂浓度为0.07(摩尔分数),样品显示明显的浓度猝灭效应,其机制为电偶极子-电偶极子(d-d)相互作用。此外,研究还发现,Li⁺掺杂对样品的晶体结构、微观形貌没有影响,但是一定量的Li⁺掺杂可以显著增强样品的荧光强度。当Li⁺浓度为0.05时,荧光粉发射主峰强度增强程度最大,提高至原来的4.3倍,说明通过Li⁺、Eu³⁺共掺杂可以获得高亮度的GZT红色荧光粉。GZT∶0.14Eu³⁺,0.05Li⁺荧光粉的CIE色坐标为(0.631 1,0.375 3)与标准红光色坐标(0.670,0.330)较为接近,是一种潜在的LED用红色荧光粉。     

H2SO4-H2O中硝酸铜对脱硫石膏晶须生长的影响

以处理后的脱硫石膏为原料,在H₂SO₄-H₂O体系中以Cu(NO₃)₂为晶形控制剂采用水热法制备脱硫石膏晶须,探讨了Cu(NO₃)₂对脱硫石膏晶须生长的影响机理。结果表明:Cu(NO₃)₂对脱硫石膏有明显促溶作用,其中Cu²⁺可减小溶液中各离子的活度系数,使溶液中的Ca²⁺浓度增大。NO^-₃通过静电作用在Ca²⁺周围聚集并对SO^2-₄产生屏蔽作用,导致脱硫石膏继续溶解并使Ca²⁺和SO^2-₄的浓度处于相对稳定状态,有利于半水脱硫石膏晶体的形核与生长。此外,Cu²⁺还可在晶须的生长过程中选择性吸附在晶须表面,生成CuSO₄,促进了脱硫石膏的结晶生长,最终在Cu(NO₃)₂用量为2.0%(质量分数)时制备的脱硫石膏晶须长径比约为73。     

两例相同混合配体构筑的Pb(Ⅱ)/Ag(I)配位聚合物及其荧光性质

多齿配体2-咪唑乙酸(Hima)、4,4'-连吡啶分别与金属盐Pb(NO₃)₂和AgNO₃反应,得到[Pb₂(4,4'-bipy)(ima)(NO₃)₃]_n(1, 3D framework)和[Ag₄(4, 4'-bipy)₃(ima)₂(NO₃)₂(H₂O)₂]_n(2, 3D framework)两个配位聚合物。根据配位聚合物的结构特点,研究了这两个配位聚合物荧光性质等物理化学性能。配位聚合物1在最大激发波长(λ_ex=346 nm)激发下,荧光的最大发射波长为552 nm,配位聚合物2在最大激发波长(λ_ex=369 nm)激发下,荧光的最大发射波长为444 nm。这可能是由于金属和配体之间发生了电荷转移(LMCT)。     

DMF体系中Cu2O球晶的制备及形貌分析

以N,N-二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)为溶剂,通过改变铜源和表面活性剂,调控反应参数,溶剂热条件下制备了三维十字形、空心及实心的Cu₂O球晶。利用XRD、SEM等表征手段,分析探讨了工艺条件变化对Cu₂O球晶形貌的影响。研究表明,随着DMF浓度的增大,体系的还原能力增强,Cu⁺增多,溶液的过饱和度增大,Cu₂O晶体集合体形态由晶体结构控制的各向异性与对称性的球晶逐渐向各向同性球晶演变。十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)、十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)、聚乙烯吡咯烷酮(PVP)等表面活性剂有助于降低溶液的过饱和度,增加结晶质的表面扩散能力,有利于规则形态Cu₂O晶粒的形成。反应体系中,Cu(Ac)₂·H₂O水解生成的羧基与DMF中的甲酰基在高温下发生脱羧反应产生CO₂气体以及SDS发泡作用产生的气体是形成空心Cu₂O球晶的重要原因。     

大豆脲酶诱导碳酸钙沉淀的多因素影响分析

本文探究了多个影响因素对大豆脲酶诱导碳酸钙沉淀(SICP)的影响,以优选出主要影响因素并提供其最佳范围。首先分析了脲酶浓度和温度对脲酶活性的影响;之后通过正交实验设计,进行25种工况的SICP水溶液实验,研究不同因素组合下Ca²⁺利用率的变化规律;最后借助扫描电子显微镜观测不同工况下生成碳酸钙的形态。结果表明:低温有利于脲酶的保存及活性发挥,5 ℃时脲酶活性能保持21 d以上;同一温度下,脲酶浓度越大,脲酶初始活性越高,脲酶完全失活所需时间越短。pH值、脲酶与胶结液体积比是影响Ca²⁺利用率的主要因素。为达到较高的Ca²⁺利用率,脲酶和胶结液最佳体积比为1,氯化钙与尿素最佳浓度比为1.5,Ca²⁺最佳浓度为1 mol/L。当脲酶浓度较低时生成的六面体状碳酸钙较多;随着脲酶浓度的增大,所沉淀的碳酸钙向球形转变。大豆中富含的天冬氨酸是控制碳酸钙形态的重要因素。

采用湿化学法合成了Eu原子掺量5%的Lu₂O₃陶瓷前驱体,通过SEM、XRD研究了煅烧前后前驱体和1 100 ℃煅烧4 h后粉体的形貌、结构以及物相。结果表明煅烧后的粉体为纳米类球形、高分散且结晶性良好的颗粒。颗粒尺寸为68.5 nm。使用煅烧后的粉体为原料,在1 650 ℃真空烧结30 h制备了高透过率的Eu:Lu₂O₃陶瓷,晶粒尺寸为46 μm,在611 nm处的直线透过率可以达到66.3%。此外对陶瓷的吸收曲线、光致激发和发射光谱特性以及X射线激发发射光谱进行研究。可观察到,Eu:Lu₂O₃陶瓷存在基质和激活离子两类吸收,光致发光光谱和X射线激发发射光谱均可以看出Eu:Lu₂O₃陶瓷存在极强的⁵D₀→⁷F₂跃迁发光,位于611 nm处。对比商业的BGO单晶的X射线发射光谱,可得本实验中制备的陶瓷的光输出为85 000 ph/MeV。Eu:Lu₂O₃陶瓷本身有着高X射线以及高能粒子的阻止能力,结合高光输出特性,表明Eu:Lu₂O₃陶瓷在X射线成像等领域具有巨大的潜在应用价值。     

Bi4Ge3O12:Er3+晶体中的高阶混合效应对EPR g因子的影响

通过对角化364×364完全能量矩阵的理论方法,对掺杂在Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂晶体中的Er³⁺的Stark能级和EPR参数进行了研究,同时,定量分析了高阶晶体场混合效应和J-J混合效应对EPR g因子的影响。研究结果表明:对Er³⁺来说,最主要的J-J混合效应来源于多重态谱项²K_15/2,其对EPR g因子的贡献约占2.5%,而最主要的高阶晶体场混合效应来源于第一激发多重态⁴I_13/2和基态多重态⁴I_15/2之间的晶体场混合,其对各向异性g因子中g_⊥的贡献大致是g_//的两倍(即g_⊥约占 0.21%,g_//约占0.092%),其他更高阶的晶体场混合和J-J混合效应可以忽略不计。因此,对于Er³⁺掺杂的络合物系统来说,只考虑基态多重态⁴I_15/2对EPR g因子的贡献应该是一个很好的近似。     

Metabolomics techniques applied in the investigation of phenolic acids from the agro-industrial by-product of Carapa guianensis Aubl

Processing of Carapa guianensis seeds to obtain oil on an industrial scale generates a significant amount of by-product, approximately 66% w/w, which is called cake and is a potential source of biomolecules, including simple phenolic structures. For this reason, studies were carried out on the chemical profiles of hydrolyzed extract from this agro-industrial by-product through High Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) and Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS). These techniques were used to detect metabolic classes and/or groups, and to identify, for the first time, thirteen simple phenolic acids in this by-product. The sample antioxidant capacity was determined by methods of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS⁺) radicals direct sequestration. The hydrolyzed fraction showed a total of 63.47% in the relative abundance of the total of compounds, standing out: p-hydroxybenzoic acid (39.19%) and protocatechuic acid (3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) (5.62%), both from hydroxybenzoic acids and 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)lactic acid, (7.76%) hydroxycinnamic acids derivatives. In these results, the fraction rich in simple phenolic acids was obtained, attributing the prominent behavior of this matrix antioxidant activity, expressed by (IC₅₀: of 16.42 µg/mL and 6.52 µg/mL for DPPH and ABTS⁺ radicals, respectively). The research demonstrated an alternative to applicability that involves sustainability from agro-industrial. These techniques were used to detect metabolic classes and/or groups, and to identify, for the first time, thirteen simple phenolic acids in this by-product, generating a process capable of converting biomass into a bioproduct, consisting of bioactive compounds, in addition to adding value to the industrial chain.     

CO2-fixation into carbonate anions for the construction of 3d-4f cluster complexes with salen-type Schiff base ligands: from molecular magnetic refrigerants to luminescent single-molecule magnets

Six new carbonate-bridged Zn₂Ln₂ cluster complexes derived from salen-type Schiff base ligands [H₂L^a = N, N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane and H₂L^b = N, N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)- 1,2-diaminoethane] have been synthesized. The bis-imine chain in Schiff base ligands have an obvious influence on the cluster complexes' structures, magnetic and luminescence properties. The carbonate bridging ligand exactly comes from autoimmobilization of carbon dioxide, which may mediate ferromagnetic coupling between Ln³⁺ ions, favoring magnetocaloric effects and single molecule magnet (SMM) properties. Complexes Zn₂Dy₂(μ³-CO₃)₂(L^a)₂(NO₃)₂(MeOH)₂ ( 1 ) and [Zn₂Dy₂(μ³-CO₃)₂(L^b)₂(NO₃)₂]·2MeOH ( 2) show field-induced SMM properties; complexes Zn₂Tb₂(μ³-CO₃)₂(L^a)₂(NO₃)₂(MeOH)₂ ( 3 ) and [Zn₂Tb₂(μ³-CO₃)₂(L^b)₂(NO₃)₂]·2MeOH ( 4 ) display both luminescence and field-induced SMM behaviors; while complexes [Zn₂Gd₂(μ³-CO₃)₂(L^a)₂(NO₃)₂]·2MeOH ( 5 ) and [Zn₂Gd₂(μ³-CO₃)₂(L^b)₂(NO₃)₂]·2MeOH ( 6 ) exhibit medium magnetic entropy changes, which are candidates for cryogenic molecular magnetic refrigerants.
