Saturation ratio of poly(ethylene oxide) to silicate in melt intercalated nanocomposites

Melt intercalation has been found to be a very successful approach for preparation of polymer-clay nanocomposites. An aspect of this area that has been little investigated is the amount of polymer required to fill the interlayer galleries of the clay. This paper reports experiments which determine the amount of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) required to saturate the spacing between montmorillonite (MMT) or organically-modified bentonite (B34) layers. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to determine the saturation ratios of PEO to silicates, which are then compared to theoretical calculations. The deduced saturation ratio of PEO to MMT is 28:72, and PEO to B34 15:85 by XRD and DSC, whilst ratios of PEO to MMT of 21:79 and PEO to B34 10:90 were obtained via TGA. The density of intercalated PEO in the silicate galleries is estimated to be 0.82 g/cm³, which suggests that PEO in the silicate galleries is far less efficiently packed than in the amorphous region of the bulk polymer.

活性位高度暴露的钴/氮/碳电催化剂的构建及氧还原性能研究

金属/氮/碳催化剂（M/N/C，M=Fe、Co等）是最有发展前景的非贵金属电催化剂之一，其性能依赖于催化剂表面的活性物种密度.通过常规的热解含氮前驱物与金属盐的方法制得的催化剂往往存在金属活性物种被包埋而不能有效利用的缺点.考虑到石墨相氮化碳（g-C₃N₄）富含类吡啶氮和亚纳米孔腔结构，将g-C₃N₄包覆在高导电性碳纳米笼（hCNC）表面，进而利用表层g-C₃N₄的配位和限域作用锚定大量Co²⁺离子，获得的Co/g-C₃N₄/hCNC复合物经热解后形成了活性位高度暴露、导电性好、孔结构丰富的Co/N/C催化剂.800℃热解得到的最优化催化剂在碱性介质中展现出优异氧还原活性，其起始电位（0.97 V）与商业Pt/C催化剂相当，且抗甲醇干扰性能和稳定性优异.此项研究提供了一种构建具有高度暴露活性位的M/N/C催化剂的有效策略.

Wearable Multiparameter Platform Based on AlGaN/GaN High‐electron‐mobility Transistors for Real‐time Monitoring of pH and Potassium Ions in Sweat

Biosensors based on field‐effect transistor (FET) structures have attracted considerable attention because they offer rapid, inexpensive parallel sensing and ultrasensitive label‐free detection. However, long‐term repeatable detection cannot be performed, and Ag/AgCl reference electrode design is complicated, which has hindered FET biosensors from becoming truly wearable health‐monitoring platforms. In this paper, we propose a novel wearable detection platform based on AlGaN/GaN high‐electron‐mobility transistors (HEMTs). In this platform, a sweatband was used to continuously collect sweat, and a pH detecting unit and a potassium ion detecting unit were formed by modifying different sensitive films to realize the long‐term stable and repeatable detection of pH and potassium ions. Experimental data show that the wearable detection platform based on AlGaN/GaN HEMTs has good sensitivity (pH 3–7 sensitivity is 45.72 μA/pH; pH 7.4–9 sensitivity is 51.073 μA/pH; and K⁺ sensitivity is 4.94 μA/lgα_K⁺), stability (28 days) and repeatability (the relative standard deviation (RSD) of pH 3–7 sensitivity is 2.6 %, the RSD of pH 7.4–9 sensitivity is 2.1 %, and the RSD of K⁺ sensitivity is 7.3 %). Our newly proposed wearable platform has excellent potential for predictive analytics and personalized medical treatment.

The superalgebra of W(2,2) and its modules of the intermediate series

In this paper, we study a new Lie superalgebra constructed by a 2|2-dimensional Balinsky–Novikov superalgebra, which is called the superalgebra of W(2,2). It can be realized from semi product of the W-algebra W(2,2) and its module of the intermediate series. Finally, we determine all modules of the intermediate series over this superalgebra. Since it is di?cult to do so directly, we make it by using modules of the intermediate series over the trivial super extension of the Witt algebra.
