The effectiveness of a multifunctional scaffold produced by the electrospinning of emulsions composed of organic PLGA and aqueous collagen-like protein (denoted as Fol-8Col) solutions is demonstrated. The resultant Fol-8Col/PLGA fibrous scaffolds with homogeneous morphology have mean fiber diameters from 600 to 2,000 nm. A uniform distribution of encapsulated Fol-8Col in the fibers is observed by fluorescence microscopy. TEM is used to clarify the representative core/sheath structure of emulsion electrospun Fol-8Col/PLGA fibers. Preliminary release assessment of encapsulated Fol-8Col shows results of sustained release for more than one month from the Fol-8Col/PLGA fibrous mats. The cytocompatibility of fibroblast cell line L929 with the fibrous composite seems promosing. 相似文献
TiO2 coated SiO2 materials as anode for lithium-ion batteries were synthesized via an in situ hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate under ultrasonic irradiation using nanometer-sized TiO2 colloids as precursors. The XRD patterns indicate that the as-prepared core/shell particles remain anatase after calcining below 800 ℃. TEM observation shows that the particle size of TiO2 / SiO2 composites is ca. 200 nm, and a homogeneous SiO2 layer is coated on the surfaces of TiO2 particles. FTIR spectra demonstrate that SiO2 could have been coated on the surfaces of TiO2 particles via a chemical bonding. In addition, the first specific charge and discharge capacities of the coated particle electrode were 66.4 mAh·g-1 and 90.7 mAh·g-1, respectively, which indicates that the TiO2 / SiO2 particles are more stable than the monodispersed TiO2. Meanwhile, the new material has good lithium intercalation-deintercalation performances. 相似文献
This paper reports the use of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)‐based copolymers to stabilize the core/shell interface for the facile fabrication of electrospun core/shell fibers. For the poly[(propylmethacryl‐heptaisobutyl‐polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane)‐co‐(methyl methacrylate)] (POSS‐MMA)/poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) system, the bicontinuity of hybrid core/shell fibers can be tuned by controlling the phase separation of POSS‐MMA/PCL in electrospinning solutions and therefore the size of PCL‐in‐POSS‐MMA emulsion droplets. Our results demonstrate the enhanced encapsulation capacity of POSS‐MMA copolymers as shell materials. Taking advantage of the rapid advancement of POSS‐based copolymer synthesis, this study can potentially be generalized to guide the fabrication of various other POSS‐based core/shell nano‐/microstructures by using single‐nozzle electrospinning or coaxial electrospinning.
Electrocatalysis is the most promising strategy to generate clean energy H2, and the development of catalysts with excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance at high current density that can resist strong alkaline and acidic electrolyte environment is of great significance for practical industrial application. Therefore, a P doped MoS2@Ni3S2 nanorods array (named P-NiMoS) was successfully synthesized through successive sulfuration and phosphorization. P-NiMoS presents a core/shell structure with a heterojunction between MoS2 (shell) and Ni3S2 (core). Furthermore, the doping of P modulates the electronic structure of the P-NiMoS; the electrons transfer from the t2g orbital of Ni element to the eg empty orbital of Mo element through the Ni−S−Mo bond at the Ni3S2 and MoS2 heterojunction, facilitating the hydrogen evolution reaction. As a result, P-NiMoS exhibits excellent HER activity; the overpotential is 290 mV at high current density of 250 mA cm−2 in alkaline electrolyte, which is close to Pt/C (282 mV@250 mA cm−2), and P-NiMoS can stably evolve hydrogen for 48 h. 相似文献
