Facile synthesis of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/Ag composite aerogel with excellent antibacterial properties

In this study, the effective TiO₂/Ag composite antibacterial aerogel powder is prepared by facile sol–gel method and ethanol supercritical technology. The surface morphology, structural properties, and chemical components are monitored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and energy disperse?spectroscopy (EDS). Meanwhile, absorbance spectra and specific surface area of TiO₂/Ag composite aerogel are characterized by UV-Vis spectra and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller. The TiO₂/Ag composite aerogel with Ti/Ag molar ratios of 10:1, 30:1, 50:1 are measured for its antibacterial property by using Escherichia coliform (E.coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The results show that the size of TiO₂ and Ag nanoparticles are 40?nm and 25?nm, respectively. Simultaneously, the obtained composite aerogel with a porous structure possessed a surface area of 148?m²/g, an average pore size 11.5?nm, and a pore volume 0.39?cm³/g. With the increase of Ag content, the antibacterial properties of composite aerogel are greatly improved compared with pure TiO₂ aerogel. When Ag/Ti molar ratios was 1:10, the highest antibacterial rate can up to 99%, and the inhibition bands of E. coli and S. aureus are 23?mm and 19?mm, respectively.

A Reusable CNT-Supported Single-Atom Iron Catalyst for the Highly Efficient Synthesis of C−N Bonds

C−N bond formation is regarded as a very useful and fundamental reaction for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing molecules in both organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. Noble-metal and homogeneous catalysts have frequently been used for C−N bond formation, however, these catalysts have a number of disadvantages, such as high cost, toxicity, and low atom economy. In this work, a low-toxic and cheap iron complex (iron ethylene-1,2-diamine) has been loaded onto carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to prepare a heterogeneous single-atom catalyst (SAC) named Fe-N_x/CNTs. We employed this SAC in the synthesis of C−N bonds for the first time. It was found that Fe-N_x/CNTs is an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of C−N bonds starting from aromatic amines and ketones. Its catalytic performance was excellent, giving yields of up to 96 %, six-fold higher than the yields obtained with noble-metal catalysts, such as AuCl₃/CNTs and RhCl₃/CNTs. The catalyst showed efficacy in the reactions of thirteen aromatic amine substrates, without the need for additives, and seventeen enaminones were obtained. High-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy in combination with X-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed that the iron species were well dispersed in the Fe-N_x/CNTs catalyst as single atoms and that Fe-N_x might be the catalytic active species. This Fe-N_x/CNTs catalyst has potential industrial applications as it could be cycled seven times without any significant loss of activity.     

Reversibly Thermosecreting Organogels with Switchable Lubrication and Anti-Icing Performance

Synthetic gels with switchable interfacial properties have great potential in smart devices and controllable transport. Herein, we design an organogel by incorporating a binary liquid mixture with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) into a polymer network, resulting in reversible modulation of lubrication and adhesion properties. As the temperature changes, the lubricating mechanism changes reversibly from boundary lubrication to hydrodynamic lubrication due to phase separation within the binary solution permeating the gel (friction coefficient 0.4–0.03). Droplets appear on the gel surface at low temperature and disappear with temperature higher than the critical phase separation temperature (T_ps) of the organogel. The organogel possesses a relatively low ice adhesive strength (less than 1 kPa). This material has potential applications in anti-icing and smart devices, and we believe that this design strategy can be expanded to other systems such as aqueous solutions and hydrogels.     

1.55-μm coherent lidar based on SPA sinusoidal frequency demodulation techniques

A 1.55-μm all-solid frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) coherent lidar based on the sinusoidal frequency demodulation technique for range and velocity measurement is presented. Both the nonlinearity of linear modulation waveform and the difficulty in measuring the frequency of sinusoidal modulation sys- tem are circumvented by utilizing segmental-processing-average (SPA) techniques. The results demonstrate that the resolutions of range and velocity measurement are better than 2 mm and 0.1 mm/s, respectively. The system has numerous practical and potential applications in space missions.     

Impact of transmitting light's modulation characteristics on LFMCW Lidar systems

The performance of linear frequency-modulated continuous-wave (LFMCW) coherent Lidar system is inevitably influenced by the modulation characteristics of the transmitting light and some issues may arise when the system does not work under the ideally specified conditions. The relationship between the asymmetric and nonlinear modulation of transmitting light with the quality of the resulting beat frequency signal (BFS) for the non-zero velocity cases is mathematically modeled and the effective means for eliminating or alleviating these harmful influences are given. The results that are obtained from both numerical simulations and practical system experiments demonstrate that the errors of range and velocity measurement are proportional to the asymmetric coefficients and its square, respectively, and 30% relative error of range measurement occurs even through the values of normalized 2nd- and 3rd-order polynomial nonlinear-coefficients is as low as 0.1%. The rating of merit experiments of a Lidar system in range and velocity measurement is conducted, and the obtained results are in good agreement with their analytical and numerical simulation counterparts.
