Surface-enhanced Raman scattering of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid and hemoglobin adsorbed on self-assembled Ag monolayer films with different shapes

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-protected silver nanostructures of various shapes, including nanocubes, nanospheres, and hybrid shapes with nanospheres and nanorods, on the surface of glass or Si substrates (PVP-Ag films) are prepared by using electrostatic self-assembly. With 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) as a probe molecule, it is demonstrated that the PVP-protected silver nanocubes films (PVP-Ag NCs) have better surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity with an order of magnitude larger enhancement factors (EF) than the PVP-protected silver nanospheres films and the PVP-protected silver hybrid shapes films, which is confirmed by our numerical simulations. The EF of 4-MBA on the PVP-Ag NCs film are up to ~5.38 × 10⁶, and the detection limit is at least down to ~10^?8 M. The uniformity and reproducibility of the SERS signals on PVP-Ag NCs film are tested by point-to-point and batch-to-batch measurements. Meanwhile, the PVP-Ag films are also shown to be an excellent SERS substrate with good biocompatibility for hemoglobin detection. It is shown that the PVP-Ag NCs films can be used as excellent SERS substrate with good activity, uniformity, reproducibility, and biocompatibility and are promising for a myriad of chemical and biochemical sensing applications.

Kinetics of non-isothermal decomposition of cinnamic acid

The thermal stability and kinetics of decomposition of cinnamic acid were investigated by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry at four heating rates. The activation energies of this process were calculated from analysis of TG curves by methods of Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Doyle, Distributed Activation Energy Model, ?atava-?esták and Kissinger, respectively. There are only one stage of thermal decomposition process in TG and two endothermic peaks in DSC. For this decomposition process of cinnamic acid, E and logA[s^?1] were determined to be 81.74 kJ mol^?1 and 8.67, respectively. The mechanism was Mampel Power law (the reaction order, n = 1), with integral form G(α) = α (α = 0.1–0.9). Moreover, thermodynamic properties of ΔH ^≠, ΔS ^≠, ΔG ^≠ were 77.96 kJ mol^?1, ?90.71 J mol^?1 K^?1, 119.41 kJ mol^?1.     

High-temperature electronic transport properties of (YCa)BaCo4O7 compounds

Y_1−xCa_xBaCo₄O₇ (0.0≤x≤1.0) samples were prepared by the solid-state reaction method and their high-temperature electronic transport properties were investigated in nitrogen and oxygen respectively. Phase structure of Y_1−xCa_xBaCo₄O₇ transforms from hexagonal symmetry for x ≤0.6 samples to orthorhombic symmetry for x≥0.8 samples. In nitrogen, Y_1−xCa_xBaCo₄O₇ samples evolve three kinds of electronic transport behaviors with the increase of Ca content: thermal activation conduction, small polaron hopping conduction, and a possible mixed conduction. Ca doping increases the hole concentration and thus decreases Seebeck coefficients. In oxygen, the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficients of Y_1−xCa_xBaCo₄O₇ samples displays similar change to their respective thermogravimetric curve, showing their electronic transport behavior under the control of their oxygen adsoption/desorption process.     

High-temperature electronic transport properties of La1−xCaxMnO3+δ (0.0?x?1.0)

La_1−xCa_xMnO_3+δ (0.0?x?1.0) samples were prepared and their resistivity and Seebeck coefficients were measured in the high-temperature range. Ca doping changes the ratio of Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ and influences the electronic transport behavior markedly. With the increase of Ca concentration, the samples change from a p-type semiconductor to an n-type one and Seebeck coefficient becomes increasingly negative. Low doping (x=0.2) and high doping (x=0.8) induces the drop of the resistivity compared with undoped LaMnO_3+δ and CaMnO_3+δ samples due to the rise of carrier concentration. However, the resistivity of moderate-doped samples (x=0.4, 0.6) is larger than low- and high-doped samples because dopant scattering decreases carrier mobility.
