Potentiometric immunosensor based on antiserum of Japanese B encephalitis immobilized in nano-Au/polymerized o-phenylenediamine film

A novel potentiometric immunosensor for detection of Japanese B encephalitis vaccine was developed by immobilizing antiserum of Japanese B encephalitis on nano-Au/polymerized o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) film on the platinum (Pt) electrode. The performance and factors influencing the performance of the resulting immunosensor were studied. The immunosensor showed a specific response to Japanese B encephalitis vaccine in the range 1.1 × 10⁻⁸ to 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ lgpfu/ml (plaque forming unit) with a detection limit of 6 × 10⁻⁹ lgpfu/ml. The correlation coefficient is 0.9986. The incubation time, incubation temperature, pH, reproducibility and stability of the immunosensor were also studied. The present work supplied a promising test method for biological products.     

Liquid-liquid-liquid microextraction of aromatic amines from water samples combined with high-performance liquid chromatography

A simple preconcentration and clean-up liquid-liquid-liquid microextraction of aromatic amines is described in this paper. The compounds were extracted from 2.0 ml aqueous samples (donor phase) into an organic phase, layered on the donor phase, and then back extracted to a microdrop of aqueous receiving phase, suspended in the organic phase. After extraction, the microdrop was injected into the HPLC system directly for analysis. Optimal conditions of the extraction were donor phase (a1): 2 ml of water sample adjusted to pH 13 with NaOH-NaCl; organic phase (o), 150 microl ethyl acetate; and receiving phase (a2) of 2 microl aqueous solution at pH 2.1. The a1-->o extraction time was 15 min and for o-->a2, 30 s. 18-Crown-6 ether, which can complex with amine, was added to the aqueous receiving phase to improve the extraction performance. Enrichment factors ranged from 218 (for 4-nitroaniline) to 378 (for 4-chloro-2-aniline). The calibration curve for these anilines was linear within the range 2.5 ng/ml-2.5 microg/ml (r2=0.998). Detection limits ranged from 0.85 to 1.80 ng/mi (at S/N=3). This procedure can be a selective preconcentration method for aromatic amines present in water samples.     

Luminescent Metallo‐Supramolecular Polymers

Luminescent metallo‐supramolecular polymers are a type of functional supramolecular architectures which integrates the advantages of emission, metal‐coordination, supramolecular chemistry as well as polymeric properties to realize advanced functions. Due to the abundant stimuli‐responsiveness of supramolecular assemblies and the light‐emitting properties, they have been widely applied as chemo‐sensors, light‐emitting devices, contrast agents for bio‐imaging, etc. In this review, we classify luminescent metallo‐supramolecular polymers based on the types of species (lanthanides, organometallic compounds, oligomer or polymer‐based ligands, small‐molecule‐based organic ligands) used to generate the luminescence and summarize recent developments of luminescent metallo‐supramolecular polymers. We mainly focus on the functions and applications of luminescent metallo‐supramolecular polymers and hope to give our reader a snapshot of research on luminescent metallo‐supramolecular polymers and encourage more scientists to devote into this promising area.     

Band alignment regulation of HfO2/SiC heterojunctions induced by PEALD with in situ NH3-plasma passivation

The efficient passivation of in situ NH₃-plasma pre-treatment and its regulation of the band alignment between HfO₂ and 4H-SiC have been investigated by XPS. With in situ NH₃-plasma passivation by PEALD, a VBO of 0.72 eV and a CBO of 1.54 eV can be obtained across the HfO₂/4H-SiC interface. The Si-O bonds components reduction in the passivated interface layers will lead to band bending or band shift at the interface and regulate the band alignments between HfO₂ and 4H-SiC. The physical mechanism investigation of band alignments can be a cornerstone for the application of HfO₂/4H-SiC heterojunctions in the high-power devices.

Design,fabrication and characterization of the X-ray supermirrors

With the development of the multiplayer technology, the multilayer mirrors have been widely used in many fields, such as the soft X-ray astronomical telescope, soft X-ray microscopy, extreme ultraviolet lithography, applications of synchrotron radiation, plasma diagnosis, and so on. However, in the hard X-ray region, especially for the wavelength shorter than 0.1 nm, the optical elements based on the traditional multilayers or the single high-Z metal coatings cannot accommodate the advancemen…     

Synthesis, crystal structure and nonlinear optical property of Rb3V5O14

The new nonlinear optical crystal Rb₃V₅O₁₄ has been synthesized by solid state reaction and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR and thermogravimetric analysis. The crystal Rb₃V₅O₁₄ crystallizes in the trigonal system with space P31m (No. 157), a=b=8.7134(12) Å, c=5.2807(11) Å and α=90°, β=90°, γ=120°, Z=1, ρ=3.516 g/cm³. It is a layered structure that is very flat and strongly parallel to c. The V₅O₁₄ layer structure consists of corner-linked square and triangular pyramids. The layers are separated by Rb⁺ ions, which fit equally well on the V₅O₁₄ layer. The Kurtz powder SHG measurement, using 1064 nm radiation, showed that the second-harmonic generation efficiency of Rb₃V₅O₁₄ is about two times that of KDP.
