Study on the Fluorescence System of Tb-ATP-Phen for the Determination of ATP

Abstract

It was found that ATP could form a ternary complex with Tb³⁺ and Phen, which can emit the characteristic fluorescence of Tb³⁺. The experiment showed that the fluorescence intensity of the system was maxmium in the following conditions: pH of the solution is 7.2, the concentrations of Tb³⁺ and phenanthroline (Phen) are 2.0×10^-5mol.L^-1 and 2.0 × 10^-4mol.L^-1, respectively. At the optimum conditions, a linear relationship is obtained between the fluorescence intensity and ATP concentration in the range of 1.0×10^-6—1.0×10^-5mol.L^-1.

Traces of ATP in drugs (ATP disodium salt tablets) can be determined using the standard addition method. The luminescence mechanism of the system was discussed.     

Solvent Effect on the Absorption and Fluorescence Emission Spectra of Some Purine Derivatives: Spectrofluorometric Quantitative Studies

The absorption and emission spectra of six purine derivatives: adenine (I), N(9)-hydroxyethyladenine (II), N(6)-acetyladenine (III), N(6)-isobutyryladenine (IV), guanine (V), and N(2),N(9)-diacetylguanine (VI) have been investigated. The effects of solvent and pH on the positions of λ _max (absorption) and λ _max (emission) of these compounds were determined. Correlations between the absorption wavelength (λ _max) of these organic compounds and the solvent parameters (D,n,E) or (K,M,N) show that the peak position is affected mainly by specific- and non-specific types of interactions between the solvent and solute. Solvent effects on the electronic absorption band shifts are indicative of the extent of charge reorganization of the solute molecules upon electronic excitation. The Stokes shift (ν _abs−ν _em) was correlated with the orientation polarizability (Δf) and was found to depend mainly on the dielectric constant and the refractive index of the solvents. This shift reflects the influence of the equilibrium solvent arrangement around the excited solute molecule, which rearranges inertially due to the instantaneous charge redistribution upon radiative deactivation to the electronic ground state. A spectrofluorometric analysis technique was applied for the quantitative analysis of the components of a ternary mixture of compounds (I–III).     

Lithium Ion Association with Sodium Phytate and the Effects on the Conformational Equilibria. Implications in the Physiological Effects of Lithium

Abstract

³¹P NMR was employed to examine the solution interactions of lithium and potassium ions with sodium phytate. The phytate molecular conformation was found to be pH and concentration dependent. The conformational equilibria of sodium phytate in aqueous solution was not affected by the addition of potassium ions, however, it was influenced by added lithium ions and was dependent on lithium ion concentration. Furthesmore, the phytate molecule showed some selectivity for lithium ion association over potassium and sodium ions. Possible implications in the physiological effects of lithium are discussed.     

LiF和LiCl对石墨电极电化学性能的影响

六氟磷酸锂是目前商品化锂离子电池中使用最广泛的电解质锂盐,LiF和LiCl是除水和酸之外六氟磷酸锂产品中最重要的杂质.运用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、充放电、循环伏安法（CV）以及电化学阻抗谱测试（EIS）等研究了LiF和LiCl对石墨电极电化学性能的影响.充放电结果表明,在1 mol/L LiPF₆-EC：DEC：DMC电解液中添加饱和的LiF,可以显著提高石墨电极的充放电可逆容量并改善其循环性能,而在1 mol/L LiPF₆-EC：DEC：DMC电解液中添加饱和的LiCl,虽也可提高石墨电极的首次充电容量,但严重恶化石墨电极的充放电循环稳定性.CV结果表明,电解液中LiF、LiCl的存在对EC的还原分解过程影响较小.但SEM和EIS的结果指示,LiF、LiCl对石墨电极表面SEI膜的形成过程影响较大.在添加饱和LiF的电解液中石墨电极表面形成的SEI膜较薄且电阻较小,进而提高了石墨电极的可逆循环容量及改善了其循环稳定性;但在饱和的LiCl电解液中石墨电极表面形成的SEI膜较厚且电阻较大,严重恶化石墨电极的电化学循环稳定性.     

氧化体系对LiFePO4化学脱锂的影响

化学脱锂被广泛用于研究锂离子电池活性材料脱锂前后结构与性能的相互关系。本文通过改进的固相烧结法制备了粒径约12.61μm的超大颗粒LiFePO4粉末,分别在乙腈和水溶液体系中采用NO2BF4和K2S2O8作为氧化剂对其进行化学脱锂,探讨了两种氧化体系所得到的FePO4在晶体结构、颗粒形貌和电化学性能等方面的差异。实验结果表明,溶剂亦高度参与了脱锂反应,特别是K2S2O8氧化得到的FePO4中存在大量O-H基团,除未被烘干的H2O外,说明LixFePO4(0≤x≤1)在强氧化性水溶液中可能存在质子嵌入。伴随反应过程中搅拌分散、物质溶解、化学脱锂和质子嵌入等协同作用,使所得FePO4的晶胞体积和颗粒尺寸明显减小,最终导致充放电曲线畸变、阻抗增大和容量降低。虽然低温退火可去除大部分O-H,但是不可逆的结构和形貌改变导致电池性能依然无法与初始LiFePO4相比。与此相反,采用NO2BF4有机溶液体系脱锂得到的FePO4没有发生明显的结构、形貌和性能变化,因而是一种更加可靠的LiFePO4化学脱锂体系。

Ion association of lithium and sodium picrate in 2-propanol at 25°C. II. Spectrophotometric measurements

The molar absorptivities of lithium picrate and of sodium picrate have been measured as a function of salt concentration (in the 0.1–1 mmol-dm^–3 concentration range) in 2-propanol at 25°C. Values of the molar absorptivities of the free picrate ion _i, of the ion pair _p, and of the ion pair association constant K_a have been calculated for each salt. The K_a values for these two salts in this solvent calculated from spectrophotometric measurements were found to be the same within experimental uncertainty as the values of K_a calculated from conductance measurements.

Changes in Coordination Number of Co Ion and Fluorescence Spectrum of 1-Naphthol during the Sol-Gel Reaction of TEOS

Changes in coordination number of Co²⁺ and fluorescence spectra of 1-naphthol during the sol-gel transitions of TEOS have been investigated as a function of time. The change in the coordination number of Co²⁺ has been observed as follows. Six-coordinated Co²⁺ decreased quickly within several hours in the first stage of the reaction corresponding to water consumption by initial hydrolysis reaction. Then six-coordinated Co²⁺ increased around gelation due to polycondensation. After the gelation four-coordinated Co²⁺ increased, where isomorphous-replacement of Co²⁺ into the –O–Si–O– networks occurred. In the Co²⁺/1-naphthol mixed system, separate ion pair of 1-naphthol is preferentially coordinated on the six-coordinated Co²⁺ where water molecule(s) plays an important role to geometrical relaxation of excited-state 1-naphthol.     

Carbon Nanotubes Act as Conductive Additives in the cathode of Lithium Ion Batteries

The layered compounds LiCoO2, LiNiO2 and spinel compound LiMn2O4 have served as very effective cathode active materials in lithium ion rechargeable batteries. Generally, their high conductive resistance easily results in a serious polarization and poor utilization of active materials.In order to make full use of the active materials and increase the capacity, the charge-discharge rate and the cycle life of lithium ion batteries, conductive additives are often added into the above cathode materials to form a conductive network. Carbon materials, such as carbon black, graphite powders and chemical vapor deposit carbon fibers have been widely used as conductive additives owing to their high electrical conductivity and chemical inertness. To effectively utilize the active materials, the contents of these carbon additives in the cathode often reach up to 10～20wt%. This leads to a great need for binder, for example, 10wt% or more. It follows therefore a considerable increase in volume of the lithium batteries and lower energy density because of the large amount of carbon additives and binder in the cathode.By substituting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for carbon black, graphite powders or chemical vapor deposit carbon fibers, much conductive additives and binder are saved, and the cathode with only 3～5wt% of conductive additives CNTs shows excellent rate capacity. At the discharge rate 0.5C,2.0C and 3.0C, the LiCoO2 cathode with CNTs exhibits discharge capacity up to 134mAh/g, 126 and 120mAh/g, respectively. The explanation is given as follows. Firstly, their microstructure and graphitic crystallinity are very important for electron transport. CNTs employed in the experiments comprise an array of complete graphite sheets seamlessly wrapped into cylindrical tubes which are concentrically nested like the rings of a tree trunk. Thus, the process of -electrons transport occurs in graphite sheet in super-conjugative manner when they move from one end to the other end in CNTs. Apparently, the CNTs' microstructure does good to electron transport. On the other hand,being highly graphitic (concluded from XRD patterns), CNTs also displays high electron conductivity. Secondly, being smaller in diameter, CNTs possess much larger number of primary particles in unit mass than other carbon materials. Hence, it results in a lower percolation threshold in the case of CNTs. Finally, owing to their high surface energy, CNTs fallen into nano-materials tend to aggregate and then form firm webs effectively entrapping LiCoO2 particles during the preparation of the cathode to guarantee their close contact with the active materials.Accordingly, effective electron channels are provided to lessen the polarization loss.
