基于双极性铼配合物的低浓度淬灭电致发光器件

合成了一种含双极性9,9-双(9-乙基咔唑-3-基)-4,5-二氮芴(ECAF)配体的新型三羰基铼配合物Re(CO)3(ECAF)Cl,通过核磁共振氢谱及高分辨质谱对其结构进行了确定。以含有4,5-二氮-9,9-螺二芴(SB)配体的铼配合物Re(CO)3(SB)Cl作为参比物,对比研究了其热稳定性及光电性能。结果表明,与参比物的分解温度(366℃)相比,配合物Re(CO)3(ECAF)Cl有极好的热稳定性(热分解温度419℃)。由于富电子咔唑基团导致的能隙增大,相比参比物的发光波长(572 nm),Re(CO)3(ECAF)Cl的发光波长蓝移至565 nm。Re(CO)3(ECAF)Cl的发光量子效率(39%)稍高于参比物(37%)。以旋涂法制成电致发光器件后,基于Re(CO)3(ECAF)Cl器件的最佳掺杂浓度(质量分数)高达30%,是基于参比物器件的2.4倍,而且开启电压低至2.9 V,明显比参比物器件的4.0 V低,说明ECAF配体能有效抑制发光浓度淬灭,且明显改善了铼配合物的载流子传输性能。基于Re(CO)3(ECAF)Cl器件的最大电流效率及最大外量子效率分别为8.2 cd·A^-1和3.0%,低于参比物器件的9.7 cd·A^-1和3.9%。     

高稳定性水系锌离子电池正极材料MnO2@MgO的制备与性能

采用共沉淀法和热分解法合成了具有核壳结构的MnO2@MgO微球。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)等手段对材料进行表征,结果发现包覆MgO不改变MnO2的结构,包覆层由纳米颗粒组成,厚度约为50 nm。电化学性能结果显示,包覆后材料的放电比容量明显提高,在100 mA·g^-1电流密度下,最大放电比容量为274.3 mAh·g^-1,比未包覆材料提高了12.8%。在1000 mA·g^-1电流密度下经过500次循环后,包覆后材料的放电比容量保持率高达84.1%,表现出优异的循环稳定性。MgO包覆层的存在避免了MnO2与电解液之间直接接触,抑制了电极材料在充放电过程中锰的溶解,从而显著提高MnO2的循环性能。     

REAL‐t1, an Effective Approach for t1‐Noise Suppression in NMR Spectroscopy Based on Resampling Algorithm

Summaryof main observation and conclusionIn multidimensional(nD)NMR spectroscopy,t1noise usually appears as ridges along indirect dimen-sions,and affects observation of weak signals.The main source of t1noise is instrumental instability,which causes random variation of FID amplitude during data acquisitions and introduces random noise-like peaks into spectrum after Fourier transformation.A number of efforts have been devoted,in order to develop new method or to improve existing approaches for suppressing t1noise.Herein,we propose a novel t1noise suppression method based on resampling algorithm for data processing,shortenedas REAL-t1.The method was verified using simulated 2D spectra,and NOESY spectra of sucrose and protein GB1,showing that the spectral quality was improved in all cases.The performance of REAL-t1was also compared with another recently pro-posed method,which showed that these two methods provided similar performance while REAL-t1cost much shorter experimental time.

Strong and Superhydrophobic Wood with Aligned Cellulose Nanofibers as a Waterproof Structural Material†

Lightweight structural materials are important for the energy efficiency of applications, particularly those in the building sector. Here, inspired by nature, we developed a strong, superhydrophobic, yet lightweight material by simple in situ growth of nano‐SiO₂ and subsequent densification of the wood substrate. In situ generation of SiO₂ nanoparticles both inside the wood channels and on the wood surfaces gives the material superhydrophobicity, with static and dynamic contact angles of 159.4^o and 3^o, respectively. Densification of the wood to remove most of the spaces among the lumen and cell walls results in a laminated, dense structure, with aligned cellulose nanofibers, which in turn contributes to a high mechanical strength up to 384.2 MPa (7‐times higher than natural wood). Such treatment enables the strong and superhydrophobic wood (SH‐Wood) to be stable and have excellent water, acid, and alkaline resistance. The high mechanical strength of SH‐Wood combined with its excellent structural stability in harsh environments, as well its low density, positions the strong and superhydrophobic wood as a promising candidate for strong, lightweight, and durable structural materials that could potentially replace steel.     

A novel off-on fluorescent probe for specific detection and imaging of cysteine in live cells and in vivo

Cysteine(Cys)plays a pivotal role in many physiological and pathological processes,including detoxification and protein synthesis.The abnormal levels of Cys are linked to many diseases.In this study,a novel red-emitting off-on fluorescent probe Cys-TCF was masterly constructed for discriminative detection of Cys.After a series of experimental assessment,Cys-TCF displayed higher selectivity and sensitivity for Cys over other biothilols with a low detection limit(0.04μmol/L).More notably,the probe was also successfully applied to image Cys in live cells and live zebrafishes with low cytotoxicity.     

Synthesis of core-shell structured Au@Bi2S3 nanorod and its application as DNA immobilization matrix for electrochemical biosensor construction

The core-shell structured Au@Bi2S3 nanorods have been prepared through direct in-situ growth of Bi2S3 at the surface of pre-synthesized gold nanorods.The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.Then the obtained Au@Bi2S3 nanorods were coated onto glassy carbon electrode to act as a scaffold for fabrication of electrochemical DNA biosensor on the basis of the coordination of-NH2 modified on 5’-end of probe DNA and Au@Bi2S3.Electrochemical characterization assays demonstrate that the Au@Bi2S3 nanorods behave as an excellent electronic transport channel to promote the electron transfer kinetics and increase the effective surface area by their nanosize effect.The hybridization experiments reveal that the Au@Bi2S3 matrix-based DNA biosensor is capable of recognizing complementary DNA over a wide concentration ranging from 10 fmol/L to 1 nmol/L.The limit of detection was estimated to be 2 fmol/L(S/N=3).The biosensor also presents remarkable selectivity to distinguish fully complementa ry sequences from basemismatched and non-complementary ones,showing great promising in practical application.     

Synthesis of carbon dots with a tunable photoluminescence and their applications for the detection of acetone and hydrogen peroxide

Carbon dots(CDs) with multi-color emissive properties and a high photoluminescent quantum yield(PLQY) have attracted great attention recently due to their potential applications in chemical,environmental,biological and photo-electronic fields.Solvent-dependent effect in photoluminescence provides a facial and effective approach to tune the emission of CDs.In this study,green emissive nitrogen-doped carbon dots(N-CDs) are synthesized from p-hydroquinone and ethylenediamine through a simple hydrothermal method.The as-prepared N-CDs possess a robust excitation-independent green luminescence and a high PLQY of up to 15.9%.Further spectroscopic characterization indicates that the high PLQY is achieved by the balance of nitrogen doping states and the surface passivation extent in CDs.The N-CDs also exhibit solvent-dependent multi-color emissive property and distinct PLQY in different solvents(the maximum can reach up to 25.3%).Furthermore,the as-prepared N-CDs are applied as fluorescence probes to detect acetone and H2O2 in water.This method has exhibited a low detection limit of acetone(less than 0.1 %) and a quick and linear response to the H_2O_2 with the concentration from 0 to 120 μmol/L.This work broadens the knowledge of applying CDs as probes in the bio and chemical sensing fields.

Integrating bimetallic AuPd nanocatalysts with a 2D aza-fused π-conjugated microporous polymer for light-driven benzyl alcohol oxidation

Efficient catalytic system with low energy consumption exhibits increasing importance due to the upcoming energy crisis.Given this situation,it should be an admirable strategy for reducing energy input by effectively utilizing incident solar energy as a heat source during catalytic reactions.Herein,aza-fused7 r-conjugated microporous polymer(aza-CMP)with broad light absorption and high photothermal conversion efficiency was synthesized and utilized as a support for bimetallic AuPd nanocatalysts in light-driven benzyl alcohol oxidation.The AuPd nanoparticles anchored on aza-CMP(aza-CM P/Au_xPdy)exhibited excellent catalytic performance for benzyl alcohol oxidation under 50 mW/cm^2 light irradiation.The improved catalytic performance by the aza-CMP/Au_xPdy is attributed to the unique photothermal effect induced by aza-CMP,which can promote the catalytic benzyl alcohol oxidation occurring at Au Pd.This work presents a novel approach to effectively utilize solar energy for conventional catalytic reactions through photothermal effect.
