Low band‐gap diketopyrrolopyrrole‐containing polymers for near infrared electrochromic and photovoltaic applications

Donor–acceptor type polymers bearing diketopyrrolopyrrole and 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene units are reported. The polymers are green and exhibit very low band‐gaps (1.19 eV) with strong and broad absorption (maxima of about 830 nm) in the near infrared (NIR) region in their neutral film states. The polymers display color changes between dark green and light blue with exceptional optical contrasts in the NIR regions of up to 78 and 63% as thin films and single‐layer electrochromic devices, respectively. Fast switching, good stabilities as well as high coloration efficiencies (743–901 cm² C^?1) were also observed. The polymers could also be potentially used as photovoltaic material, with a power conversion efficiency of up to 1.68%. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

Development of a method using high‐performance liquid chromatographic fingerprint and multi‐ingredients quantitative analysis for the quality control of Yangxinshi Pian

A simple and reliable method of high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection method was developed for fingerprint analysis and simultaneous determination of six compounds including puerarin, salvianolic acid B, berberine hydrochloride, palmatine chloride, dehydrocorydaline, and icariin in the Chinese medicine preparation Yangxinshi Pian. The separation was performed on an Agilent Eclipse XDB‐C₁₈ reserved‐phase column (250 mm × 4.6mm I.D., 5 μm) using gradient elution with 50 mmol/L monopotassium phosphate aqueous solution and methanol as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column operating temperature was set at 30°C, and the detection wavelength was 280 nm. The method was validated by linearity, precision, accuracy, stability, and recovery. For fingerprint analysis, 25 peaks were selected as the common peaks, and four kinds of similarities including cosine similarity (S), ratio of similarity (S′), projection content similarity (C), and content similarity (P) were applied to evaluate the quality consistency of different batches of Yangxinshi Pian. The results showed that the developed method was an efficient tool for quality evaluation of Yangxinshi Pian.

ZnSe-石墨烯/TiO_2声催化剂上罗丹明B降解与反应氧物种生成(英文)

Nanostructured ZnSe-graphene/TiO2 was synthesized by a hydrothermal-assisted approach. ZnSe-graphene/TiO2 exhibited favorable adsorption of rhodamine B, a wide wavelength absorption range, and efficient charge separation. Reactive oxygen species were generated by the oxidation of 1,5-diphenyl carbazide to 1,5-diphenyl carbazone. The sonocatalytic reaction mechanism was pro-posed. These findings potentially broaden the applications of sonocatalytic technologies.     

Computer simulation studies on the interactions between nanoparticles and cell membrane

In recent times,nanoparticles(NPs)have received intense attention not only due to their potential applications as a candidate for drug delivery,but also because of their undesirable effects on human health.Although extensive experimental studies have been carried out in literature in order to understand the interaction between NPs and a plasma membrane,much less is known about the molecular details of the interaction mechanisms and pathways.As complimentary tools,coarse grained molecular dynamics(CGMD)and dissipative particle dynamics(DPD)simulations have been extensively used on the interaction mechanism and evolution pathway.In the present review we summarize computer simulation studies on the NP-membrane interaction,which developed over the last few years,and particularly evaluate the results from the DPD technique.Those studies undoubtedly deepen our understanding of the NP-membrane interaction mechanisms and provide a design guideline for new NPs.     

Highly Ordered Superlattices from Self-assembly of Fe3O4 Nanocrystals

The nano materials often exhibit very interesting electrical, optical, magnetic, and chemical properties, which can not be achieved by their bulk counterparts. The development of uniform nanometer sized particles has been intensively pursued because of their technological and fundamental scientific importance. It is significant that nanostructured materials can be controllably assembled into the required geometry onto substrates, becoming the basis of the next generation of components and devices. The development of new methods and strategies for organizing the nanoparticle basic building blocks into the desired structures is required. Superlattices made from these building blocks give us the opportunity to study not only the properties of the individual building blocks, but also collective effects. The superparamagnetic iron oxide nanocrystals（NCs） have been used in the fields of bio-medicine, ferrofluids, refrigeration system, catalysis,     

改性炭黑-LaMnO3复合材料的制备及其共价复合效应对氧还原性能的影响

以VulcanXC-72炭黑为载体,通过对炭载体石墨化处理和表面化学修饰,将其与化学沉淀法制备的纳米级LaMnO₃颗粒共混,再经特定温度下煅烧,制备出改性炭黑-LaMnO₃复合材料.X射线光电子能谱和热重分析表明,当煅烧温度在300℃时,炭载体与LaMnO₃纳米颗粒之间形成了大量C-O-M（M=La,Mn）化学键.扫描电子显微镜和高分辨透射电子显微镜分析发现,纯相LaMnO₃纳米颗粒主要呈现短棒、三支棒或竹节棒的形貌特征,炭载体则为具有完整石墨层的空心球结构,LaMnO₃均匀分散在炭载体上.在25℃,1mol/LNaOH溶液中的电化学测试结果表明,成分比（LaMnO₃：C）为2：3的复合材料具有很高的氧还原电催化活性,氧还原反应电子数为3.81,中间产物H₂O₂产率为9.5%,其活性接近商业Pt/C催化剂（E-TEK）.高的氧还原电催化活性主要归因于LaMnO₃纳米颗粒与炭载体之间形成了大量共价键.
