枝晶状Pt 薄膜的制备及其特殊红外效应

采用方波电位, 在10×10^-3 mol·L^-1 K₂PtCl₆+3×10^-4 mol·L^-1 PbAc₂+0.5 mol·L^-1 HClO₄溶液中, 于本体Pt 电极上电沉积制备出枝晶状Pt 薄膜. 随着沉积时间的增加, 枝晶长度逐渐由400 nm增加到900 nm, 且枝晶上的小晶粒(~10 nm大小)变得密集. 根据循环伏安(CV)曲线中氢吸脱附电量可得出Pt 薄膜具有中等粗糙度(C_r=9-36), 且电极表面的粗糙度随着沉积时间增加而增大. 观察到Pt 薄膜上吸附态CO的原位红外光谱具有明显的增强吸收效应, 当沉积时间为6 min 时所制得的枝晶Pt 电极的红外增强效应最大. CO呈现多种谱峰形状, 随着沉积时间的增加, 谱峰形状依次为左高右低的双极峰(类Fano 红外效应), 单极向下(表面增强红外吸收), 左高右低的双极峰, 单极向上(异常红外效应), 左低右高的双极峰和单极向下. 这表明纳米材料薄膜所呈现出的特殊红外性能, 与纳米材料的尺度和聚集状态等密切相关. 所制备的枝晶状Pt 薄膜有望为深入认识纳米材料的特殊红外性能提供一个良好的模型材料.

Normal and Abnormal Enhancement of IR Absorption of CO Adsorbed on Electrodes of Nanostructured Materials

A new phenomenon of enhanced IR absorption has been revealed recently and reported in the present paper. In referring to the surface enhanced IR absorption (SEIRS)^[l], which is limited to systems of particular molecules (PNBA, etc.) adsorbed on island films of Au, Ag metals, the newly discovered phenomenon is of significant importance in fundamental studies as well as in applications of electrocatalysis and surface analysis, since nanostructured transition metals or alloys were involved in this phenomenon.     

Nanoparticles of Pd Confined in Supercages of Y-zeolite:Enhanced IR Absorption and Electrocatalytic Properties

Platinum group metals possess high stability and activity in electrocatalysis and are frequently used in fuel cells^[1].However, their commercial applications are limited owing to the high cost. Accordingly, one of the most important subjects of electrocatalysis is to select suitable substrate materials to disperse platinum group metal and prepare electrocatalysts of high performance and low cost. In this paper, nanoparticles of palladium (Pd₁₃) were synthesized in supercages of Y-zeolite according to the procedure of literature^[2] The electrode of palladium-loading zeolite film supported on Pt substrate (Pd⁰Y/Pt) was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, and the adsorption of carbon monoxide on the electrode was studied using in situ electrochemical FTIR reflection spectroscopy.     

铂电极上吸附芳香分子的表面增强红外光谱研究

应用衰减全反射表面增强红外吸收光谱法分别研究了0.1 mol•L^－1 HClO₄中对硝基苯甲酸(PNBA)和0.1 mol•L^－1 KClO₄中吡啶(Py)在铂电极上的吸脱附. 结果表明在较高电位下(0.3～0.7 V vs. SCE) PNBA是通过其羧基脱质子后羧酸根的两个氧原子等位吸附在Pt电极表面, 而随着电位的负移, 除PNBA逐步脱附外, 还呈现出单个氧原子吸附的谱学特征. 光谱强度与电位的关系表明PNBA在铂电极表面吸脱附的中间电位约为0.2 V vs. SCE. 吡啶的吸附主要是通过氮原子的孤对电子及脱氢后的α碳原子与Pt电极表面键合. 在较宽的电位区间(0.4～－0.4 V vs. SCE)吡啶的吸附方式和取向基本维持不变.

Hyaluronic Acid-Conjugated Carbon Nanomaterials for Enhanced Tumour Targeting Ability

Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been implemented for chemo and photothermal therapy to target tumour cells overexpressing the CD44⁺ receptor. HA-targeting hybrid systems allows carbon nanomaterial (CNM) carriers to efficiently deliver anticancer drugs, such as doxorubicin and gemcitabine, to the tumour sites. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are grouped for a detailed review of the novel nanocomposites for cancer therapy. Some CNMs proved to be more successful than others in terms of stability and effectiveness at removing relative tumour volume. While the literature has been focused primarily on the CNTs and GO, other CNMs such as carbon nano-onions (CNOs) proved quite promising for targeted drug delivery using HA. Near-infrared laser photoablation is also reviewed as a primary method of cancer therapy—it can be used alone or in conjunction with chemotherapy to achieve promising chemo-photothermal therapy protocols. This review aims to give a background into HA and why it is a successful cancer-targeting component of current CNM-based drug delivery systems.

Enhanced Electrocatalytic Detection of Choline Based on CNTs and Metal Oxide Nanomaterials

Choline is an officially established essential nutrient and precursor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It is employed as a cholinergic activity marker in the early diagnosis of brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Low levels of choline in diets and biological fluids, such as blood plasma, urine, cerebrospinal and amniotic fluid, could be an indication of neurological disorder, fatty liver disease, neural tube defects and hemorrhagic kidney necrosis. Meanwhile, it is known that choline metabolism involves oxidation, which frees its methyl groups for entrance into single-C metabolism occurring in three phases: choline oxidase, betaine synthesis and transfer of methyl groups to homocysteine. Electrocatalytic detection of choline is of physiological and pathological significance because choline is involved in the physiological processes in the mammalian central and peripheral nervous systems and thus requires a more reliable assay for its determination in biological, food and pharmaceutical samples. Despite the use of several methods for choline determination, the superior sensitivity, high selectivity and fast analysis response time of bioanalytical-based sensors invariably have a comparative advantage over conventional analytical techniques. This review focuses on the electrocatalytic activity of nanomaterials, specifically carbon nanotubes (CNTs), CNT nanocomposites and metal/metal oxide-modified electrodes, towards choline detection using electrochemical sensors (enzyme and non-enzyme based), and various electrochemical techniques. From the survey, the electrochemical performance of the choline sensors investigated, in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and stability, is ascribed to the presence of these nanomaterials.

Inherent Chemotherapeutic Anti-Cancer Effects of Low-Dimensional Nanomaterials

Low-dimensional nanomaterials (LDNs) are receiving increasing attention in cancer therapy owing to their unique properties, especially the large surface area-to-volume ratio. LDNs such as metallic nanoparticles (NPs), hydroxyapatite NPs, graphene derivatives, and black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets have been proposed for drug delivery, photothermal/photodynamic therapies, and multimodal theranostic treatments. The therapeutic effectiveness is mainly based on the physical characteristics of LDNs, but their inherent bioactivity has not been fully capitalized. In this Minireview, recent advances in the anti-cancer effects of various types of LDNs with inherent chemotherapeutic bioactivity are described and the bioactivity mechanisms are discussed on the cellular and molecular levels. BP, one of the newest and exciting members of the LDN family, is highlighted owing to the excellent inherent bioactivity, selectivity, and biocompatibility in cancer therapy. LDNs and related derivatives possess inherent bioactivity and selective chemotherapeutic effects suggesting large potential as nanostructured anti-cancer agents in cancer therapy.
