Selective solid-phase microextraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water based on oriented phosphorus-containing titanium oxide nanofibers grown on titanium support prior to high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection

A novel solid-phase microextraction coating of phosphorous-containing titanium oxide composite was developed using titanium fiber as a support and a titanium source by hydrothermal oxidation in a phosphoric acid solution containing hydrogen peroxide. The morphology of the fiber coatings was controlled by the conditions of the hydrothermal oxidation reaction. The oriented nanofiber coating was employed to extract several types of representative aromatic analytes. The experimental results demonstrated that the as-prepared fiber exhibited excellent extraction efficiency toward polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Combined with high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection, main extraction conditions were optimized, including pH, ionic strength, extraction temperature, stirring rate, extraction time and desorption time. The established method presented good linearity from 0.05 to 200 μg/L with limit of detection ranging from 0.012 to 0.126 μg/L. This convenient and green procedure was suitable for the selective extraction and determination of typical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in environmental water samples. The relative recoveries of 85.8–112% were obtained for the determination of target polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water samples spiked with 5.0 and 15.0 μg/L. Moreover, the as-prepared fiber showed at least 210 extraction/desorption cycles due to its high mechanical and chemical stability.     

Gold Nanowires – Assisted Prussian Blue Enhancing Peroxidase – Like Activity for the Non-enzymatic Electrochemically Sensing H2O2 Released From Living Cells

Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) have peroxidase-like activity for H₂O₂. However, PB alone have poor electrochemical performances. Herein, a strategy was proposed by direct in-situ growth PBNPs onto gold nanowires (AuNWs) surface to obtain the peroxidase-like activity with about 4.05 times higher than that of PBNPs alone. PBNPs@AuNWs was employed to construct a non - enzymatic electrochemical H₂O₂ sensor with the detection limit of 5.3×10⁻⁹ mol/L (S/N=3). The sensor was successfully used to detect H₂O₂ in human serum samples or secreted from living HeLa cells. It may be a competitive candidate for H₂O₂ assaying in biological samples or cellular investigation.     

Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid features in ballistic single-walled carbon nanotubes: conductance and shot noise

We study the electrical transport properties of well-contacted ballistic single-walled carbon nanotubes in a three-terminal configuration at low temperatures. We observe signatures of strong electron-electron interactions: the conductance exhibits bias-voltage-dependent amplitudes of quantum interference oscillation, and both the current noise and Fano factor manifest bias-voltage-dependent power-law scalings. We analyze our data within the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid model using the nonequilibrium Keldysh formalism and find qualitative and quantitative agreement between experiment and theory.     

高活性和高稳定性的核壳结构PtPx@Pt/C催化氧还原

在质子交换膜燃料电池中,金属铂是最高效的阴极氧还原催化剂之一,但是铂昂贵的价格严重阻碍了其在燃料电池领域中的大规模商业化应用.通过铂与3d过渡金属(Fe、Co和Ni)合金化可以有效提高催化剂的氧还原活性,然而在实际的高腐蚀性、高电压和高温的燃料电池运行环境中,铂合金纳米粒子易发生溶解、迁移和团聚,从而导致催化剂耐久性差.同时过渡金属离子的溶出会影响质子交换膜的质子传导,并且一些过渡金属离子会催化芬顿反应,产生高腐蚀性?OH自由基,加快Nafion和催化剂的劣化.与过渡金属掺杂相比,非金属掺杂具有明显优势:一方面,非金属溶出产生的阴离子不会取代Nafion中的质子,也不会催化芬顿反应;另一方面,与3d过渡金属相比,非金属具有更高的电负性,其掺杂很容易调节Pt的电子结构.因此,本文通过非金属磷掺杂合成具有优异稳定性的核壳结构PtPx@Pt/C氧还原催化剂.通过热处理磷化商业碳载铂形成磷化铂(PtP2),经由酸洗处理产生富铂壳层,即PtPx@Pt/C.X射线粉末多晶衍射结果证明了PtP2相的存在,并且进一步通过电子能量损失谱对纳米粒子进行微区面扫描分析以及X射线光电子能谱分析证实了富铂壳层的存在,壳层厚度约1 nm.得益于核壳结构及磷掺杂引起的电子结构效应,PtP1.4@Pt/C催化剂在0.90 V(RHE)时的面积活性(0.62 mA cm–2)与质量活性(0.31 mAμgPt–1)分别是商业Pt/C的2.8倍和2.1倍.更重要的是,在加速耐久性测试中,PtP1.4@Pt/C催化剂在30000圈电位循环后质量活性仅衰减6％,在90000圈电位循环后仅衰减25％;而商业Pt/C催化剂在30000圈电位循环后就衰减46％.PtP1.4@Pt/C催化剂高活性与高稳定性主要归功于核壳结构、磷掺杂引起的电子结构效应以及磷掺杂增加了碳载体对催化剂粒子的锚定作用进而阻止了其迁移团聚.综上所述,本文为设计同时具有优异活性与稳定性非金属掺杂Pt基氧还原催化剂提供新的思路.     

全无机卤化铅钙钛矿的结构、热力学稳定性和电子性质

有机-无机杂化卤化铅钙钛矿因具有独特的电子和光学特性,已经成为光电领域最有前途的材料。但是,有机-无机钙钛矿材料及器件稳定性差,限制了其实际应用。与杂化钙钛矿相比,全无机卤化物钙钛矿CsPbX₃(X=Cl,Br,I)显示出更强的热稳定性。全无机卤化物钙钛矿CsPbX₃具有多个晶型,在不同的温度下呈不同相结构。目前,关于CsPbX₃的结构和物理性质仍存在争议。本文我们针对三个晶相α-,β-和γ-CsPbX₃的结构,热力学稳定性和电子性质进行了全面的理论研究。第一性原理计算表明,从高温α相到低温β相,然后再到γ相的相变伴随着PbX₆八面体的畸变。零温形成能计算表明,γ相最稳定,这与实验中γ相为低温稳定相的结论一致。电子性质计算表明,所有CsPbX₃钙钛矿都表现出直接带隙性质,并且带隙值从α相到β相再到γ相逐渐增加。这是由于相变发生时,Pb-X成键强度逐渐减弱,使价带顶能量降低,进而带隙增加。在所有相中,α相结构中较强的Pb-X相互作用,导致了较强的带边色散,使其具有较小的载流子有效质量。     

Study of the beam loading effect in the CSNS/RCS

The China Spallation Neutron Source/Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (CSNS/RCS) accelerates a high-intensity proton beam from 80 MeV to 1.6 GeV. Since the beam current and beam power is high, the beam loading is a severe problem for the stability of the circulating beam in the RCS. To study the beam loading effect in the CSNS/RCS theoretically, the RLC circuit model of the rf cavity, the method of Fast Fourier Transform and the method of Laplace transform have been employed to obtain the impedance of the rf system, the beam spectrum and the beam-induced voltage, respectively. Based on these physical models, the beam dynamics equations have been revised and a beam loading model has been constructed in the simulation code ORIENT. By using the code, the beam loading effect on the rf system of the CSNS/RCS has been investigated. Some simulation results have been obtained and conclusions have been drawn.
