Naphthalimide-rhodamine based fluorescent probe for ratiometric sensing of cellular pH

The pH values of lysosomes in cancer cells is slightly lower than that in normal cells, which can be used to distinguish cancer cells from normal cells. According to this, a naphthalimide-rhodamine based fluorescent probe(hereafter referred to as RBN) with a pK_a of 4.20 was designed and synthesized for ratiometric sensing of cellular pH via fluorescence resonance energy transfer(FRET), which can respond to different pH precisely through ratiometric fluorescence intensity(Ⅰ_(577)/Ⅰ_(540)). RBN can be employed to distinguish cancer cells from normal cells on the basis of different fluorescent response, in particular, RBN showed excellent water solubility and low cell toxicity, all these are quite significant for potential application in cancer diagnose and therapy.     

硝化甘油在α-Al_2O_3(0001)和γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面吸附的理论计算

选取硝化甘油(NG)和氧化铝(Al_2O_3)分别作为推进剂中的含能增塑剂和燃料表面的模型,研究了含硝酸酯类增塑剂与推进剂中燃烧剂表面的微观作用机理.采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法和全电子双数值基组研究了NG在α-Al_2O_3(0001)和γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面的吸附作用.计算结果表明,NG可以在α-Al_2O_3(0001)和γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面发生强烈化学吸附;吸附导致相应的O—NO_2键被明显拉长并断裂,无能垒自发产生NO_2自由基,该解离过程放出大量的热,吸附能高达约175.7 kJ/mol;NG在完全羟基化的α-Al_2O_3(0001)和γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面上的吸附明显减弱,从强烈的化学吸附转变成以氢键作用为主的物理吸附,吸附能只有约50.0 kJ/mol;而在部分羟基化的α-Al_2O_3(0001)和γ-Al_2O_3(110)表面上可以同时发生物理吸附和化学吸附,且两种机制并不存在明显的协同或催化作用.     

Synthesis,Adsorptive, and Photocatalytic Properties of Carbon Nanotubes/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Nanocomposite Photocatalysts

The carbon nanotubes/TiO₂ (CNTs/TiO₂) composite photocatalysts composed of TiO₂ nanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method. The photocatalysts were characterized by a range of analytical techniques including X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope, thermal gravimetric analysis and UV–Vis optical absorption spectra, etc. The amount of TiO₂ nanoparticles growing on CNTs could be tuned by adjusting the dosage of precursor in the reaction solution. Both the adsorptivity and photocatalytic activities of pure CNTs, pure TiO₂, and the CNTs/TiO₂ nanocomposites were tested by the removal of methylene blue from water in dark and under a simulated sunlight, respectively. By comparison, the improved photocatalytic activity of the CNTs/TiO₂ nanocomposite is mainly due to that the CNTs can disperse the active component of TiO₂ nanoparticles, provide a larger the specific surface area, as well as act as an electron sink to accelerate the separation of the photogenerated charges.

Vortices for a Rotating Toroidal Bose–Einstein Condensate

We construct local minimizers of the Gross–Pitaevskii energy, introduced to model Bose–Einstein condensates (BEC) in the Thomas–Fermi regime which are subject to a uniform rotation. Our sample domain is taken to be a solid torus of revolution in with starshaped cross-section. We show that for angular speeds ω_ε = O(|ln ε|) there exist local minimizers of the energy which exhibit vortices, for small enough values of the parameter ε. These vortices concentrate at one or several planar arcs (represented by integer multiplicity rectifiable currents) which minimize a line energy, obtained as a Γ-limit of the Gross–Pitaevskii functional. The location of these limiting vortex lines can be described under certain geometrical hypotheses on the cross-sections of the torus.     

Enhanced cyclability of sulfur cathodes in lithium-sulfur batteries with Na-alginate as a binder

Na-alginate as a binder in an aqueous solvent has been applied in the preparation of sulfur cathodes for lithium-sulfur batteries.Their electrochemical performances have been investigated by a charge-discharge cycle test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).The EIS tests indicated that the alginate sulfur cathode had lower resistance and better kinetic characteristics than those of the poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) sulfur cathode using PVDF as a binder in a N-methy-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent.The charge-discharge tests showed that the discharge capacity and the capacity retention rate of Na-alginate sulfur cathode were 508 mAh·g-1and 65.4% at the 50th cycle with a current density of 335 mA·g-1.Compared with PVDF sulfur cathode,the alginate sulfur cathode showed a remarkably better cycle performance.These results show that the alginate binder has promising potential for lithium-sulfur battery applications.     

原位Raman光谱揭示中性条件下硫化钼结构变化对其电催化析氢反应的促进作用（英文）

硫化钼是析氢反应(HER)有前途的电催化剂.S-或Mo物种均被认为是形成吸附氢触发HER反应的活性位,但Mo中心和S配体间相互作用的本质仍不清楚.另外,采用中性的水作为质子源用于产氢,来开发低成本的水裂解催化剂体系为研究者高度关注,但人们很少研究中性水条件下HER反应的机理.本文采用原位电化学Raman光谱对所合成的硫化钼中Mo–Mo和S–S物种在中性条件下的结构变化进行了监测.结果显示,归属于端位S–S物种的谱带随着和Mo–S振动谱带频率而同步变化,表明Mo–Mo键与端位S–S键起着协同作用,从而有利于氢气的生成.这可能是通过三核物种的内部重组而确认的.本文所揭示的HER反应中金属-配体相互作用的本质与作用表明了一个不同的反应机理,而以往的机理认为,S或Mo活性位独立起作用而促进HER反应的进行.
