Application of a coated-wire electrode to an acetylcholine sensor

An acetylcholine sensor was constructed with acetylcholinesterase which was immobilized on a hydrogen ion-selective coated-wire electrode and fundamental properties of this sensor were investigated. Acetylcholine could be determined in the range 0.1–10 rum with response times of 3–10 min. The effects of pH and concentration of buffer solution on the determination and fluctuations in the data obtained with this sensor were also investigated. Possibilities for the practical use of this acetylcholine micro-sensor are suggested.     

以离子水合能解释离子选择电极响应机理

用相继切换不同浓度I^-试液的活度阶梯法研究了碘化银基离子选择电极（I^--ISE）的瞬时响应。随电位变化的离子水合自由能△Gh(I^-）显示出|△Gh（I^-）|越小，正活度阶民位跃迁越快而负活度阶梯电位变化越慢。将－△Gh(I^-）看作I（H2O）n^-与I^--ISE表面反应的活化能解释了这个现象。比起传统电位法，活度阶梯法的主要优点是ISEs响应非常快并且更灵敏，有可能实现小体积试液的快速分析。     

STUDIES ON RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS OF DRUG ISE''''S (Ⅳ) SELECTIVITY OF, DRUG ISE''''S WITH HETERO-POLY ACID ANION SITE TOWARD METAL IONS

The relationship between the selectivity of six drug ion-selective electrodes with anionic species of hetero-poly acid as exchange site and the structural and thermodynamical parameters of the metal ion has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The electrode selectivity is controlled mainly by the extractibility or hydrophobicity of the metal ion, but not by the ion-association-complex formation process. Linear relationship exists between the pK_(ij) value and the structural parameter z~2/(r + 0.85) and the thermodynamic parameter of hydration (△G_h) of the metal ion. Better correlation is obtained for the pK_(ij)vs. (z~2/r)~(-k) relationship.     

Direct electron transfer with glucose oxidase immobilized in an electropolymerized poly( N-methylpyrrole) film on a gold microelectrode

Direct electron transfer between active glucose oxidase (GOD) and a gold electrode was obtained when GOD was immobilized in poly(N-methylpyrrole) electrochemically prepared on the gold electrode. When electropolymerization was accomplished at 50 °C, after glucose addition, the cyclic voltammograms showed an increased oxidation peak at ca. ?0.45 V vs. Ag/AgCl. This potential corresponds to the oxidation potential for FADH₂. Although the GOD becomes much less selective, a glucose-dependent current response is obtained.

Frequency comb expansion in a monolithic self‐mode‐locked laser concurrent with stimulated Raman scattering

The discovery of a novel phase‐locked frequency comb generated from a monolithic laser with the concurrent processes of self‐mode locking (SML) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is reported. It is experimentally shown that the width of the Raman gain can be exploited to considerably expand the frequency comb of a monolithic SML crystal laser via the SRS process. At a pump power of 6.5 W, an output power of 140 mW in the Stokes wave with a pulse width as narrow as 2.9 ps at a pulse repetition rate of 6.615 GHz is obtained. The present finding not only provides useful insights into the monolithic intracavity SRS process but also paves the way for generating mode‐locked pulses based on monolithic self‐Raman crystals.     

Fe/Cu修饰氮掺杂碳纳米管的构筑及催化性能

通过简单的原位化学合成法结合离子交换法制备了Cu修饰氮掺杂碳（Cu-N-C）和Fe/Cu修饰氮掺杂碳纳米管（Fe/Cu-N-C/CNT）,并系统评估了2种催化剂作为染料敏化太阳能电池（dye-sensitized solar cells,DSSCs）对电极在I₃^-/I^-体系中的电化学特性和光伏性能。采用X射线衍射（XRD）、拉曼（Raman）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）和场发射扫描电镜（FESEM）对合成的催化剂进行组分和形貌表征。结果表明：纳米管状的Fe/Cu-N-C/CNT的石墨化程度比纳米颗粒状的Cu-N-C更高,更有利于I₃^-还原反应中电荷的传输。光伏性能测试结果表明：基于Fe/Cu-N-C/CNT对电极的DSSCs的光电能量转换效率（power conversion efficiency,PCE）达到7.55%,高于相同测试条件下Cu-N-C（6.99%）和Pt（6.76%）对电极的PCE。50圈连续循环伏安测试结果表明：Fe/Cu-N-C/CNT催化剂具有比Cu-N-C更好的电化学稳定性。     

Correction method for the self‐absorption effects in fluorescence extended X‐ray absorption fine structure on multilayer samples

A novel correction method for self‐absorption effects is proposed for extended X‐ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) detected in the fluorescence mode on multilayer samples. The effects of refraction and multiple reflection at the interfaces are fully considered in this correction method. The correction is performed in k‐space before any further data analysis, and it can be applied to single‐layer or multilayer samples with flat surfaces and without thickness limit when the model parameters for the samples are known. The validity of this method is verified by the fluorescence EXAFS data collected for a Cr/C multilayer sample measured at different experimental geometries.     

Survey of Plasmonic Nanoparticles: From Synthesis to Application

The unique properties of plasmonic nanostructures have fuelled research based on the tremendous amount of potential applications. Their tailor‐made assemblies in combination with the tunable size and morphology of the initial building blocks allow for the creation of materials with a desired optical response. In this respect, it is crucial to synthesize nanoparticles with a defined shape that are at the core of such developments. Moreover, the interaction of individual nanoparticles with an incident electromagnetic field cannot only be influenced by their structure, but in fact, also by their spatial arrangement to each other. To harvest such opportunities, a profound theoretical understanding of these interactions is required as well as concise strategies to create such ordered assemblies. A quantitative evaluation of their optical properties can only be conducted when discrete structures of high uniformity can be achieved. As a consequence, separation steps have to be applied in order to obtain materials of high purity and uniformity. This also allows for an easier structural characterization of the nanoparticles and their assembled superstructures. In this progress report, an overview about the current development in this field of research is provided.     

棒-板电极下缩比气隙辉光放电相似性的仿真研究

建立了棒-板电极下氩气直流放电的流体模型,利用有限元法对几何位形相似的两个气隙放电过程进行了数值求解.两放电气隙外加电压相同,气隙线性尺寸的比值为10:1,气压分别为1 Torr和10 Torr.仿真得到了两相似气隙的放电的伏安特性曲线以及放电物理量(如电位、电场、电子密度、离子密度、电子温度等)的空间分布.根据气体放电相似性的基本结论,检验了气隙对应物理量之间的数值关系.结果表明:两相似气隙的放电类型为正常辉光放电,对应放电物理量之间存在相似性理论指出的比例关系,且在相同幅值的直流电压作用下,气隙放电的工作点相同.这将为利用气体放电相似性来外推相似气隙的放电特性提供一定的理论依据.
