Ni(II)/CSs were prepared using a simple two-step hydrothermal method. The morphology and composition of the catalysts were studied with scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, and X-ray diffraction. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the surface of the prepared carbon spheres was rich in hydroxyl groups, which was beneficial to remove CO intermediates, and therefore, improving the catalytic efficiency and the antipoisoning ability of the catalysts. The results of cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry showed that the electrocatalytic activity and stability of Ni(II)/CSs were higher than that of unloaded NiAc under alkaline environment. When the nickel content was 5 wt.%, the peak oxidation current density of methanol on Ni(II)/CSs electrocatalyst reached the maximum of 34.54 mA/cm2, which was about 1.8 times that of unloaded NiAc. These results indicate that Ni(II)/CSs has potential applications in the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol. 相似文献
In this paper, a power penalty approximation method is proposed for solving a mixed quasilinear elliptic complementarity problem. The mixed complementarity problem is first reformulated as a double obstacle quasilinear elliptic variational inequality problem. A nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation is then defined to approximate the resulting variational inequality by using a power penalty approach. The existence and uniqueness of the solution to the partial differential penalty equation are proved. It is shown that, under some mild assumptions, the sequence of solutions to the penalty equations converges to the unique solution of the variational inequality problem as the penalty parameter tends to infinity. The error estimates of the convergence of this penalty approach are also derived. At last, numerical experimental results are presented to show that the power penalty approximation method is efficient and robust.
A novel electrochemical detector with an acetylcholine film has been developed for HPLC. The chemically modified electrode
is an efficient electrocatalyst of (R)-salsolinol ((R)-Sal), (R)-N-methylsalsolinol ((R)-NMSal), and monoamine neurotransmitters, enabling highly sensitive detection. The electrode is also stable and long-lived.
Combined with microdialysis sampling, HPLC with the novel detector enabled successful study of changes in the concentrations
of monoamine neurotransmitters in rat brain after the injection of (R)-salsolinol and (R)-N-methylsalsolinol. 相似文献

In this paper, a novel dual enzymatic-biosensor is described for simultaneous determination of glucose and cholesterol in serum and peritoneal macrophages (PMs) of diabetic mice to evaluate the risk of diabetes-accelerated atherosclerosis. The biosensor was constructed by a three-step method. First, a poly-thionine (PTH) film was assembled on the surface of glassy carbon electrode by cyclic voltammetric electropolymerization of thionine, which serves as an electron transfer mediator (ETM). Second, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were covered on the surface of PTH facilitating the electron transfer between glucose oxidase (GOx), cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) and electrode. Finally, the enzymes, GOx, cholesterol esterase (ChE), and ChOx, were covalently attached to the PTH layer through a chitosan (CH) linker. The PTH coupled with GNPs provides good selectivity, high sensitivity and little crosstalk for the dual enzymatic-biosensor. The developed biosensor had good electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidations of glucose and cholesterol, exhibiting a linear range from 0.008 mM to 6.0 mM for glucose with a detection limit of 2.0 μM, and a linear range from 0.002 mM to 1.0 mM for cholesterol with a detection limit of 0.6 μM. The results of the diabetic mice demonstrated that the cholesterol level did not change obviously with the increase of glucose level in serum, while the cholesterol level was induced with the increase of the glucose level in PMs. Previous studies have shown that the large accumulation of cholesterol in macrophage could lead to macrophage foam cell formation, which is the hallmark of early atherosclerosis. This study provides useful further evidences for the development of diabetes-accelerated atherosclerosis. 相似文献
