焙烧温度对氧化锌纳米棒光催化生产H2O2活性的影响

过氧化氢作为一种对环境友好的、重要的化学原料,被广泛用于化学工业、漂白剂和废水处理等领域.近几十年来,过氧化氢主要通过蒽醌工艺生产.然而,该方法需要多步蒽醌加氢和氧化反应,导致较高的生产成本和能量消耗,同时伴随着大量的二氧化碳排放.另一种替代策略是在贵金属催化剂的辅助下,由氢气和氧气的混合气体在高温下直接合成.但是,氢气和氧气的混合气体在高温下存在爆炸的危险,从而限制了其大规模应用.因此,探索一种低能耗、温和条件下生产过氧化氢具有重要的意义.太阳能驱动光催化生产过氧化氢是解决上述问题的理想途径.通常认为,过氧化氢是由直接双电子还原(E(O2/H2O2)=0.68 V vs.NHE)或间接单电子O2还原(E(O2/?O2?)=-0.33 V vs.NHE)产生的.氧化锌半导体具有很的稳定性好、环保和成本低等优点,因此经常被用于二氧化碳的光催化还原、污水处理和气体传感器等领域.氧化锌的导带电势(ECB=-0.5 V vs.NHE)比氧还原电势更负,意味着它在热力学上满足光催化过氧化氢生产的要求.然而,目前关于氧化锌的光催化生产过氧化氢的研究尚未受到较多的关注.本文采用简单的水热法制备了一维氧化锌纳米棒,在不同温度下热处理后,对其形貌和结构、光学性质和电化学性质进行了表征.同时,系统地研究了以乙醇为牺牲剂光催化生产过氧化氢的性能.结果表明,随着焙烧温度的升高,氧化锌纳米棒内部的氧空位被空气中的氧气重新填充,其催化生成过氧化氢的活性先升高后降低.经300oC焙烧的氧化锌光催化产过氧化氢的活性最好,为285μmol L-1 h-1.同时,对过氧化氢的生成机理研究结果表明,该过程中为间接单电子O2还原过程.氧气先与一个电子反应生成超氧自由基,再与两个质子和一个电子反应生成过氧化氢分子.综上,本文为氧化锌纳米棒光催化产过氧化氢的机理研究提供了新认识,并提出了一种有前途的过氧化氢生产策略.

Ir/SiO2上甲烷部分氧化制合成气反应的原位时间分辨红外和原位Raman光谱表征

采用原位时间分辨红外光谱和原位显微Raman光谱技术对Ir/SiO₂上甲烷部分氧化(POM)制合成气反应的初级产物和反应条件下催化剂表面物种进行了跟踪考察,实验结果表明,在H₂预还原的新鲜Ir/SiO₂表面,CO是V(CH₄):V(O₂):V(Ar)=2:1:45混合气反应的初级产物,因而甲烷的直接氧化过程是CO生成的主要途径;而在稳态反应条件下,CO生成的途径可能主要来自CO₂和H₂O与催化剂表面积碳物种(CHx)和/或CH₄的反应.催化剂上生成的积碳可能是导致稳态条件下Ir/SiO₂上POM反应机理不同于H₂预还原的新鲜催化剂的主要原因.     

Cr(Ⅵ)-氯代苯酚共存污染体系中的光反应与光催化反应研究

Cr(Ⅵ)-4CP(4-氯苯酚)共存污染体系中Cr(Ⅵ)离子的紫外光致还原主要是由于Cr(Ⅵ)与4CP光解产物之间的氧化还原反应而引起的。Cr(Ⅵ)离子还原受光强和体系酸度影响较大,还原速率呈零级反应。随体系pH值增大,Cr(Ⅵ)离子还原速率下降。中性条件下,光反应结束后有沉淀产物生成,这对于采用光化学方法消除环境污染提供了很有意义的结果。4CP存在对Cr(Ⅵ)离子在TiO₂表面的暗态吸附没有影响。Cr(Ⅵ)-4CP-TiO₂体系中Cr(Ⅵ)离子的紫外光致还原主要包括了两种反应:Cr(Ⅵ)与4CP之间的均相反应以及Cr(Ⅵ)离子在TiO₂表面的光催化还原反应。一定波长紫外光下,排除Cr(Ⅵ)-4CP-TiO₂体系中的均相反应,使得4CP对Cr(Ⅵ)离子光催化还原反应的促进作用得以证实。

甲醛气体在ZnO表面光降解的机理研究（英文）

本文采用溶胶-凝胶法制备纳米氧化锌粒子,并对其降解气相甲醛的光催化活性进行研究。研究发现,在紫外光照射下,当水或氧气存在时,氧化锌可以将甲醛氧化生成二氧化碳;但是在两种不同气氛条件下的反应过程是不同的。气相水参与反应的过程中,首先是水分子被光活化生成羟基自由基,然后再与甲醛进行反应;而在氧气参与反应的过程中,是光活化的氧直接与甲醛反应,这一步骤在氧气参与的甲醛光催化降解反应中占据主导地位。这一反应机理的发现,对研究甲醛的光催化降解可能具有重要意义。

SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF CUTANEOUS PHOTOSENSITIZING AGENTS—X. A SPIN-TRAPPING AND DIRECT ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE STUDY OF THE PHOTOCHEMICAL PATHWAYS OF DAUNOMYCIN AND ADRIAMYCIN

Abstract— Irradiation of daunomycin (or adriamycin) and the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-l-pyrroline-1-oxide (DMPO) at 490 nm in the presence or in the absence of air generated the hydroxyl radical adduct (DMPO-OH). The observed DMPO-OH signal was not affected by the addition of hydroxyl radical scavengers (ethanol, formate), suggesting that direct trapping of the hydroxyl radical was not involved. The DMPO-OH signal was insensitive to superoxide dismutase and catalase, which ruled out the possibility of superoxide or H₂O₂ involvement. These findings demonstrate that daunomycin (or adriamycin) does not generate hydroxyl radicals or superoxide radical anions when subjected to 490-nm excitation. However, when daunomycin (or adriamycin) was irradiated at 310 nm DMPO adducts derived from two carbon-centered radicals, superoxide and the hydroxyl radical were detected. The superoxide adduct of DMPO was abolished by the addition of SOD, providing unequivocal evidence for the generation of the superoxide anion radical. The daunomycin semiquinone radical, observed upon 310-nm irradiation of daunomycin in the absence of DMPO, appears to be the precursor of the superoxide radical anion. One of the carbon-centered radicals trapped by DMPO exhibited a unique set of hyperfine parameters and was identified as an acyl radical. This suggests that the known photochemical deacylation of daunomycin occurs via a homolytic cleavage mechanism. The free radicals generated photolytically from adriamycin and daunomycin may be involved in the etiology of the skin ulceration and inflammation caused by these drugs. A knowledge of the dependence of these photogenerated radicals on the wavelength of excitation may be important in the development of adriamycin and daunomycin for photodynamic therapy.     

SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF CUTANEOUS PHOTOSENSITIZING AGENTS–XII. SPIN TRAPPING STUDY OF THE FREE RADICALS GENERATED DURING THE PHOTOLYSIS OF PHOTO ALLERGENS BITHIONOL and FENTICHLOR

Free radicals were trapped and observed by ESR when photoallergens bithionol and fentichlor were irradiated in the presence of spin traps N- t -butyl-α-phenylnitrone (PBN) and 5,5-dimethyl-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO). In the absence of air, both PBN and DMPO trapped a carbon-centered radical. The carbon-centered radical, which was capable of abstracting a hydrogen atom from cysteine, glutathione, ethanol and formate, was identified as an aryl radical derived from the homolytic cleavage of the carbon-chlorine bond. In the presence of air, both carbon-centered radicals and hydroxyl radicals were trapped by DMPO. Under similar conditions, the yield of the hydroxyl radicals was greater from bithionol than from fentichlor. The presence of the hydroxyl radical was confirmed by kinetic experiments employing hydroxyl radical scavengers (ethanol, formate). Superoxide and H₂O₂ were not involved. Experiments with oxygen-¹⁷O indicated that the hydroxyl radicals came exclusively from dissolved oxygen. The precursor of the hydroxyl radical is postulated to be a peroxy intermediate (ArOO*) derived from the reaction of an aryl radical (Ar*) with molecular oxygen. Both bithionol and fentichlor photoionized only when excited in the UVC (<270 nm) region. Free radicals have long been postulated in the photodechlorination of bithionol and fentichlor and the present study provides supporting evidence for such a mechanism. Aryl and hydroxyl radicals are reactive chemical species which may trigger a series of events that culminate in photoallergy.     

Efficiency of superoxide anions in the inactivation of selected dehydrogenases

The most ubiquitous of the primary reactive oxygen species, formed in all aerobes, is the superoxide free radical. It is believed that the superoxide anion radical shows low reactivity and in oxidative stress it is regarded mainly as an initiator of more reactive species such as OH and ONOO^‐.In this paper, the effectiveness of inactivation of selected enzymes by radiation-generated superoxide radicals in comparison with the effectiveness of the other products of water radiolysis is examined. We investigate three enzymes: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).We show that the direct contribution of the superoxide anion radical to GAPDH and ADH inactivation is significant. The effectiveness of the superoxide anion in the inactivation of GAPDH and ADG was only 2.4 and 2.8 times smaller, respectively, in comparison with hydroxyl radical. LDH was practically not inactivated by the superoxide anion.Despite the fact that the studied dehydrogenases belong to the same class of enzymes (oxidoreductases), all have a similar molecular weight and are tetramers, their susceptibility to free-radical damage varies. The differences in the radiosensitivity of the enzymes are not determined by the basic structural parameters analyzed. A significant role in inactivation susceptibility is played by the type of amino acid residues and their localization within enzyme molecules.     

Reactive oxygen species produced upon photoexcitation of sunscreens containing titanium dioxide (an EPR study)

Commercial sunscreen products containing titanium dioxide were irradiated with lambda>300 nm and the formation of oxygen- (.OH, O2.-/.OOH) and carbon-centered radicals was monitored by EPR spectroscopy and spin trapping technique using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide, alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN), alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone as spin traps, and free nitroxide radical 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxyl. The photoinduced production of singlet oxygen was shown by 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-piperidine. The generation of reactive oxygen radical species upon irradiation of sunscreens significantly depends on their composition, as the additives present (antioxidants, radical-scavengers, solvents) can transform the reactive radicals formed to less harmful products. The continuous in situ irradiation of titanium dioxide powder, recommended for cosmetic application, investigated in different solvents (water, dimethyl sulfoxide, isopropyl myristate) resulted in the generation of oxygen-centered reactive radical species (superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl and alkoxyl radicals).     

Abnormal solvent effects on hydrogen atom abstraction. 2. Resolution of the curcumin antioxidant controversy. The role of sequential proton loss electron transfer

The rates of reaction of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (dpph*) radicals with curcumin (CU, 1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione), dehydrozingerone (DHZ, "half-curcumin"), and isoeugenol (IE) have been measured in methanol and ethanol and in two non-hydroxylic solvents, dioxane and ethyl acetate, which have about the same hydrogen-bond-accepting abilities as the alcohols. The reactions of all three substrates are orders of magnitude faster in the alcohols, but these high rates can be suppressed to values essentially equal to those in the two non-hydroxylic solvents by the addition of acetic acid. The fast reactions in alcohols are attributed to the reaction of dpph* with the CU, DHZ, and IE anions (see J. Org. Chem. 2003, 68, 3433), a process which we herein name sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET). The most acidic group in CU is the central keto-enol moiety. Following CU's ionization to a monoanion, ET from the [-(O)CCHC(O)-](-) moiety to dpph* yields the neutral [-(O)CCHC(O)-]* radical moiety which will be strongly electron withdrawing. Consequently, a phenolic proton is quickly lost into the alcohol solvent. The phenoxide anion so formed undergoes charge migration to produce a neutral phenoxyl radical and the keto-enol anion, i.e., the same product as would be formed by a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from the phenolic group of the CU monoanion. The SPLET process cannot occur in a nonionizing solvent. The controversy as to whether the central keto-enol moiety or the peripheral phenolic hydroxyl groups of CU are involved in its radical trapping (antioxidant) activity is therefore resolved. In ionizing solvents, electron-deficient radicals will react with CU by a rapid SPLET process but in nonionizing solvents, or in the presence of acid, they will react by a slower HAT process involving one of the phenolic hydroxyl groups.     

Redox active metal-induced oxidative stress in biological systems

A number of studies performed on biological systems have shown that redox-active metals such as iron and copper as well as other transition metals can undergo redox cycling reactions and produce reactive free radicals termed also reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS). The most representative examples of ROS and RNS are the superoxide anion radical and nitric oxide, respectively, both playing a dual role in biological systems. At low/moderate concentrations of ROS and RNS, they can be involved in many physiological roles such as defense against infectious agents, involvement in a number of cellular signaling pathways and other important biological processes. On the other hand, at high concentrations, ROS and RNS can be important mediators of damage to biomolecules involving DNA, membrane lipids, and proteins. One of the most damaging ROS occurring in biological systems is the hydroxyl radical formed via the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by traces of iron, copper and other metals (the Fenton reaction). The hydroxyl radical is known to react with the DNA molecule, forming 8-OH-Guanine adduct, which is a good biomarker of oxidative stress of an organism and a potential biomarker of carcinogenesis. This review discusses the role of iron and copper in uncontrolled formation of ROS leading to various human diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders (Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease). A discussion is devoted to the various protective antioxidant networks against the deleterious action of free radicals. Metal-chelation therapy, which is a modern pharmacotherapy used to chelate redox-active metals and remove toxic metals from living systems to avoid metal poisoning, is also discussed.     

Water Activation for Boosting Electrochemiluminescence

In conventional luminol electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems, hydrogen peroxide and dissolved oxygen are employed as typical co-reactants to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) for efficient ECL emission. However, the self-decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and limited solubility of oxygen in water inevitably restrict the detection accuracy and luminous efficiency of luminol ECL system. Inspired by ROS-mediated ECL mechanism, for the first time, we used cobalt-iron layered double hydroxide as co-reaction accelerator to efficiently activate water to generate ROS for enhancing luminol emission. Experimental investigations verify the formation of hydroxyl and superoxide radicals in the process of electrochemical water oxidation, which subsequently react with luminol anion radicals to trigger strong ECL signals. Finally, the detection of alkaline phosphatase has been successfully achieved with impressive sensitivity and reproducibility for practical sample analysis.     

Capacity of Tea Scavenging Singlet Oxygen Studied by Means of 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran as Fluorescence Probe

1 Introduction In recent years, the effects of reactive oxygen species(ROS) generated in the course of biological metabolism, such as superoxide(O_2~(-.)), hydrogen peroxide(H_2O_2), hydroxyl radical(HO~.) and singlet oxygen(~1O_2) on the human health have received more attention due to their vital roles in physiological functions. Normally, antioxidant molecules, superoxide dismutase and catalase in biological organism can scavenge excessive free radicals by a series of chemical reactions to keep the cells in a state of redox homeostasis[1].     

Quantitation of the Reactive Oxygen Species Generated by the UVA Irradiation of Ascorbic Acid-Glycated Lens Proteins

The oxidation products of ascorbic acid rapidly glycate proteins and produce protein-bound, advanced glycation endproducts. These endproducts can absorb UVA light and cause the photolytic oxidation of proteins (Ortwerth, Linetsky and Olesen, Photochem. Photobiol . 62, 454–463, 1995), which is mediated by the formation of reactive oxygen species. A dialyzed preparation of calf lens proteins, which had been incubated for 4 weeks with 20 mM ascorbic acid in air, was irradiated for 1 h with 200 mW/ cm² of absorbed UVA light (λ > 338 nm), and the concentration of individual oxygen free radicals was measured. Superoxide anion attained a level of 76 μ M as determined by the superoxide dismutase (SOD)-depen-dent increase in hydrogen peroxide formation and of 52 μ M by the SOD-inhibitable reduction of cytochrome c. Hydrogen peroxide formation increased linearly to 81 μM after 1 h. Neither superoxide anion nor hydrogen peroxide, however, could account for the UVA photolysis of Trp and His seen in this system.
Singlet oxygen levels approached 1.0 mM as measured by the oxidation of histidine, which was consistent with singlet oxygen measurements by the bleaching of N,N- dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline. High concentrations of sodium azide, a known singlet oxygen quencher, inhibited the photolytic destruction of both His and Trp. Little or no protein damage could be ascribed to hydroxyl radical based upon quenching experiments with added mannitol. Therefore, superoxide anion and H₂O₂ were generated by the UVA irradiation of ascorbate advanced glycation endproducts, however, the major reactive oxygen species formed was singlet oxygen.     

SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF CUTANEOUS PHOTOSENSITIZING AGENTS—IV. THE PHOTOLYSIS OF BENOXAPROFEN, AN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUG WITH PHOTOTOXIC PROPERTIES

Abstract— Benoxaprofen [2-(4-chlorophenyl)-α-methyl-5-benzoxazole acetic acid] is an anti-inflammatory drug that causes acute phototoxicity in many patients. Photolysis studies in organic solvents (ethanol, benzene, dimethylsulfoxide) showed that benoxaprofen underwent both Type I and Type II reactions. Irradiation of an anerobic solution of benoxaprofen in ethanol resulted in hydrogen abstraction from the solvent to yield hydroxyethyl and ethoxyl radicals. In the presence of oxygen, superoxide, singlet oxygen and hydroxyethyl radicals were detected. Photolysis of benoxaprofen in air-saturated benzene or dimethylsulfoxide gave superoxide. However, under anerobic conditions the drug yielded a carbon-centered radical in benzene that could not be identified. These findings suggest that both oxygen-dependent and oxygen-independent processes may be important in the phototoxic reactions of benoxaprofen.
