Zinc molybdate (ZnMoO4), a layer perovskite material, has the advantages of high stability, excellent optical and charge properties. However, its high band gap and high electron–hole recombination efficiency limit its application in the photocatalytic reduction field like hydrogen production. In this study, we used CdS as a co-catalyst and successfully prepared CdS/ZnMoO4 composite photocatalysts with different loadings. The hydrogen evolution rate of CdS/ZnMoO4 reached 530.2 µmol h?1 g?1, which was approximately 11 and 100 times more than rates of pure CdS and ZnMoO4 under the same conditions, respectively. It is the presence of CdS that contributed to this improved performance, which acted as an electron acceptor to separate electrons and holes. Besides, a reasonable mechanism was provided based on photoelectrochemical characterizations. CdS loading greatly improved the hydrogen evolution performance of ZnMoO4 under visible light, providing a direction to improving the performance of perovskite based photocatalysts.

A novel biosensor harnessing a peptide layer which has specific affinity to lead ion proved to be highly effective for electrochemical analysis of lead ions. The peptide modified electrode was used for the electrochemical analysis of various trace metal ions by square wave voltammetry. Compared to the other ions investigated, the peptide modified electrode was found to be highly selective to Pb2+ in the range of 50–700 nM. Furthermore, the biosensor exhibited a high reusability and good spike recovery in the tap water containing various concentration of Pb2+. 相似文献
This work presents a novel micro electrical impedance spectroscopy (μEIS) technique that can measure and discriminate the electrical signal responses of biotissues in real time. An EoN (EIS‐on‐a‐needle), EIS on the surface of a fine needle (400 μm in diameter), was fabricated using a newly developed flexible photomask film. The base material of the photomask is parylene‐C, which allows uniform contact on the curved surface of the needle; thus, the designed electrode patterns of the photomask can be transferred onto the needle surface with a high resolution (2.95 % or less in dimensional error). To validate the developed EoN as an electrical sensor, ex vivo experiments with various biotissues—butchered pork (skin, fat, and muscle) and human breast tissues (normal and cancerous)—were conducted by measuring real‐time electrical impedance during a frequency sweep. The conductivities (relative permittivity) of the pork tissues were evaluated by electrical equivalent circuit analysis: 56.6 mS/m (37,800), 68.0 mS/m (74,755), and 74.9 mS/m (26,145) for the skin, fat, and muscle, respectively. Moreover, the normal and cancerous tissues were well distinguished by electrical resistance at 4.04 kHz for various cancer grades (Elston grades 1, 2, and 3). Analysis of the electrical impedance suggests that the EoN can be utilized to diagnose the physiological states of biotissues in clinical use. 相似文献
This study analyzed the electrical properties of a multiple‐cells using the electric cell‐substrate impedance sensing, a scalable three‐dimensional electrode array and an equivalent circuit model (ECM). The experimental results validated the accuracy and validity of the extraction method for the ECM. The ECM simulation results using the electrical properties extracted by measuring 52 HeLa cells successfully forecasted the impedance magnitudes and phases for 15, 29, 78, and 98 HeLa cells. Comparing the ECM simulations and measurements, the maximum average errors in magnitude and phase were 3.06 % and 4.67 %, suggesting the number of HeLa cells can be classified by their electrical properties. 相似文献
An assay for protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) activity based on the quantification of a synthetic substrate using capillary electrophoresis with laser‐induced fluorescence detection was developed. The peptides labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate F‐ERK (where ERK is extracellular signal‐regulated kinase) and the phosphorylated form, P‐F‐ERK, were utilized for the method development and validation. The migration time of F‐ERK and P‐F‐ERK were 6.3 ± 0.1 and 8.7 ± 0.2 min, respectively. LOD and LOQ values of F‐ERK were 2 and 6 ng/mL and those of P‐F‐ERK were 4 and 12 ng/mL. The correlation coefficients obtained from two standard curves were approximately 0.99. The reproducibility and accuracy of the method for F‐ERK ranged 1.5–4.7 and 86–109%, respectively, and those for P‐F‐ERK were 1.6–6.1 and 93–109%, respectively. The activity of PKCδ was studied in vitro using the human gastric cancer cell line MKN‐1. The use of PKCδ inhibitor candidates, including G?6983, bisindolylmaleimide II, staurosporine, and rottlerin in the assay resulted in IC50 values of 50 nM, 15 nM, 795 nM, and 4 μM, respectively. Comparison of our assay with a commercial PKC kit revealed that our assay is more adaptable to differing enzyme isoforms. This method has potential for high throughput screening for kinase inhibitors as part of a drug discovery program. 相似文献
Three previously unreported benzofurans, namely acumifurans A–C ( 1 – 3 ), along with five known compounds, 2‐(isopropyl‐1′‐ol)‐2,3‐dihydrobenzofuran‐5‐carbinol ( 4 ), fomannoxin alcohol ( 5 ), fomannoxin ( 6 ), acremine S ( 7 ) and cyclo(L ‐Pro‐L ‐Leu) ( 8 ), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extracts of the fermented broths of termite n est associated Xylaria acuminatilongissima YMJ623. Compound 4 , a synthe tic benzofuran analogue of 1 – 3 , was isolated for the first time from natural resources. The str uctures of 1 – 8 were determined through spectroscopic data analyses. The absolute configurations of 1 – 4 were established based mainly on ROESY experiment and Mosher’s reaction, and compared the optical rotation data with the literatures. The effects of these compounds on the inhibition of NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐activated murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells were also evaluated. Of the compounds tested, 6 showed a mild NO production inhibitory activity without any cytotoxicity, and its mean maximum inhibition (Emax) at 100 μM was 42.98±0.87 %. 相似文献
Stir bar sorptive extraction is an environmentally friendly microextraction technique based on a stir bar with various sorbents. A commercial stirrer is a good support, but it has not been used in stir bar sorptive extraction due to difficult modification. A stirrer was modified with carbon nanoparticles by a simple carbon deposition process in flame and characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectrometry. A three‐dimensional porous coating was formed with carbon nanoparticles. In combination with high‐performance liquid chromatography, the stir bar was evaluated using five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as model analytes. Conditions including extraction time and temperature, ionic strength, and desorption solvent were investigated by a factor‐by‐factor optimization method. The established method exhibited good linearity (0.01–10 μg/L) and low limits of quantification (0.01 μg/L). It was applied to detect model analytes in environmental water samples. No analyte was detected in river water, and five analytes were quantified in rain water. The recoveries of five analytes in two samples with spiked at 2 μg/L were in the range of 92.2–106% and 93.4–108%, respectively. The results indicated that the carbon nanoparticle‐coated stirrer was an efficient stir bar for extraction analysis of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 相似文献
