碳酸氢铵沉淀法制备氧化钇粉体时反应条件对产物粒度的影响

研究了碳酸氢铵沉淀法的反应条件对氧化钇粒度的影响,探讨了粒度变化规律。发现在沉淀反应中,晶型碳酸钇铵的形成与否是影响氧化钇粒度的关键因素。在较低的反应温度下,当碳酸氢铵和氯化钇的浓度大于0.25mol·L-1,摩尔比大于5,陈化时间大于60min时得到碳酸钇铵沉淀,经煅烧可获得粒度(D50)大于1μm的氧化钇。当反应物浓度较低、摩尔比小,陈化时间较短时得到无定型碳酸钇沉淀,煅烧沉淀可获得粒度(D50)小于0.5μm的氧化钇。实验证明选择适当的沉淀反应条件,可制备D50在0.3～10μm范围内的不同粒度级别的氧化钇粉体。     

Comparative X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic study on the desulfurization of thiophene by Raney nickel and rapidly quenched skeletal nickel

The desulfurization of thiophene on Raney Ni and rapidly quenched skeletal Ni (RQ Ni) has been studied in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Raney Ni or RQ Ni can be approximated as a hydrogen-preadsorbed polycrystalline Ni-alumina composite. It is found that thiophene molecularly adsorbs on Raney Ni or RQ Ni at 103 K. At 173 K, thiophene on alumina is desorbed, while thiophene in direct contact with the metallic Ni in Raney Ni undergoes C-S bond scission, leading to carbonaceous species most probably in the metallocycle-like configuration and atomic sulfur. On RQ Ni, the temperature for thiophene dissociation is about 100 K higher than that on Raney Ni. The lower reactivity of RQ Ni toward thiophene is tentatively attributed to lattice expansion of Ni crystallites in RQ Ni due to rapid quenching. The existence of alumina and hydrogen may block the further cracking of the metallocycle-like species on Raney Ni and RQ Ni at higher temperatures, which has been the dominant reaction pathway on Ni single crystals. By 473 K, the C 1s peak has disappeared, leaving nickel sulfide on the surface.     

Integrating photocatalytic reduction of CO_2 with selective oxidation of tetrahydroisoquinoline over InP–In_2O_3 Z-scheme p-n junction

The development of a facile strategy to construct stable hierarchal porous heterogeneous photocatalysts remains a great challenge for efficient CO_2 reduction. Additionally, hole-trapping sacrificial agents(e.g., triethanolamine, triethylamine, and methanol) are mostly necessary, which produce useless chemicals, and thus cause costs/environmental concerns. Therefore,utilizing oxidation ability of holes to develop an alternative photooxidation reaction to produce value-added chemicals, especially coupled with CO_2 photoreduction, is highly desirable. Here, an in situ partial phosphating method of In_2O_3 is reported for synthesizing In P–In_2O_3 p-n junction. A highly selective photooxidation of tetrahydroisoquinoline(THIQ) into value-added dihydroisoquinoline(DHIQ) is to replace the hole driven oxidation of typical sacrificial agents. Meanwhile, the photoelectrons of In P–In_2O_3 p-n junction can induce the efficient photoreduction of CO_2 to CO with high selectivity and stability. The evolution rates of DHIQ and CO are 2 and 3.8 times higher than those of the corresponding In_2O_3 n-type precursor, respectively. In situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron spin resonance are utilized to confirm that the direct Z-scheme mechanism of In P–In_2O_3 p-n junction accelerate the efficient separation of photocarriers.

 利用扫描隧道显微镜 (STM) 和 X 射线光电子能谱 (XPS) 对 Pt(111) 表面制备的 Fe 单层薄膜及其在不同环境气氛条件下的多种结构进行了研究. 在温度为 487 K 的 Pt(111) 表面制备出了完整的 Fe 单层薄膜Fe/Pt(111). 对 Fe/Pt(111) 依次升高温度进行超高真空退火, STM 和 XPS 结果表明退火温度高于 800 K 时, 表面 Fe 原子扩散到次表层区域, 形成次表层 Fe 结构Pt/Fe/Pt(111). Pt/Fe/Pt(111) 在 O2 氧化气氛中经 850 K 退火可转变成表面 FeO 薄膜FeO/Pt(111). FeO/Pt(111) 结构在温和的 H2 还原气氛中 (600 K) 转变成表面 Fe 结构, 进一步的还原处理 (800 K) 则可以重新生成 Pt/Fe/Pt(111). 控制样品的环境气氛在 O2 和 H2 之间切换, 使得表面 Fe (FeO) 和次表面 Fe 可以重复地转变. 本研究实现了多种 Fe-Pt 表面结构的可控制备, 可为合理地设计高效、价廉的催化剂提供借鉴.     

Dual-axes differential confocal microscopy with high axial resolution and long working distance

We discover that the slight transverse offset of a point detector results in a shift of the axial intensity response curve in a dual-axes confocal microscopy (DCM). Based on this, we propose a new dual-axes differential confocal microscopy (DDCM) with high axial resolution and long working distance, in which two point detectors are placed symmetrically about the collection axis. And a signal is obtained through the differential subtraction of two signals received simultaneously by the two point detectors. Theoretical analyses and preliminary experiments indicate that DDCM is feasible and suitable for the high precision tracing measurement of microstructures and surface contours.     

Electric- and magnetic-field-tuned Landau levels and Hall conductivity in AA-stacked bilayer graphene

We theoretically study the combined effect of magnetic and electric fields on the Landau levels and Hall conductivity in AA-stacked bilayer graphene. From the analytic expressions derived, we obtain explicit criterions for determining the zero-energy Landau level and different level crossings in the graphene bilayer. For providing a scheme of experimental verification, we further explore the quantum Hall effect in such a biased bilayer. It is found that the zero-conductance Hall plateau in this system can vanish at certain specific combinations of magnetic and electric fields, accompanying with the occurrence of resonance Hall conductivity steps.     

Supramolecularly engineered phospholipids constructed by nucleobase molecular recognition: upgraded generation of phospholipids for drug delivery

Despite of great advances of phospholipids and liposomes in clinical therapy, very limited success has been achieved in the preparation of smart phospholipids and controlled-release liposomes for in vivo drug delivery and clinical trials. Here we report a supramolecular approach to synthesize novel supramolecularly engineered phospholipids based on complementary hydrogen bonding of nucleosides, which greatly reduces the need of tedious chemical synthesis, including reducing the strict requirements for multistep chemical reactions, and the purification of the intermediates and the amount of waste generated relative more traditional approaches. These upgraded phospholipids self-assemble into liposome-like bilayer structures in aqueous solution, exhibiting fast stimuli-responsive ability due to the hydrogen bonding connection. In vitro and in vivo evaluations show the resulted supramolecular liposomes from nucleoside phospholipids could effectively transport drug into tumor tissue, rapidly enter tumor cells, and controllably release their payload in response to an intracellular acidic environment, thus resulting in a much higher antitumor activity than conventional liposomes. The present supramolecularly engineered phospholipids represent an important evolution in comparison to conventional covalent-bonded phospholipid systems.     

Supramolecular Fluorescent Nanoparticles Constructed via Multiple Non‐Covalent Interactions for the Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide in Cancer Cells

Overabundance of hydrogen peroxide originating from environmental stress and/or genetic mutation can lead to pathological conditions. Thus, the highly sensitive detection of H₂O₂ is important. Herein, supramolecular fluorescent nanoparticles self‐assembled from fluorescein isothiocyanate modified β‐cyclodextrin (FITC‐β‐CD)/rhodamine B modified ferrocene (Fc‐RB) amphiphile were prepared through host–guest interaction between FITC‐β‐CD host and Fc‐RB guest for H₂O₂ detection in cancer cells. The self‐assembled nanoparticles based on a combination of multiple non‐covalent interactions in aqueous medium showed high sensitivity to H₂O₂ while maintaining stability under physiological condition. Owing to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect, addition of H₂O₂ led to obvious fluorescence change of nanoparticles from red (RB) to green (FITC) in fluorescent experiments. In vitro study showed the fluorescent nanoparticles could be efficiently internalized by cancer cells and then disrupted by endogenous H₂O₂, accompanying with FRET from “on” to “off”. These supramolecular fluorescent nanoparticles constructed via multiple non‐covalent interactions are expected to have potential applications in diagnosis and imaging of diseases caused by oxidative stresses.
