In this study, structural, electronic, optical and thermoelectric aspects of Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) and Zinc Telluride (ZnTe) have been explored in detail. These calculations have been done by utilizing FP-LAPW method via Density Functional Theory (DFT). In order to attain accurate band gaps, opto-electronic properties are evaluated with modified Becke Johnson potential (mBJ). From band structure plots, both ZnS and ZnTe reveals direct (Γv–ΓC) band gap semiconductors in nature with bandgap value equal to 3.5 and 2.3 eV while in Density Of States (DOS) major influence is observed due to p states of S/Te and d state of Zn. Prominent variation of optical responses such as high values of imaginary dielectric constants 𝜀1 (ω) and n (ω) refractive index suggests that ZnS and ZnTe are applicant materials for future photonics and microelectronic devices. The thermoelectric aspects were explored by Boltz Trap code to determine electrical and thermal conductivities, Seebeck coefficients, power factors and figure of merit. The figure of merits is closer to 1 while compared with p-type ZnS and ZnTe, n-type ZnS and ZnTe has good thermoelectric properties, which are attributed to low thermal conductivity of the hole and larger effective mass. The goal of this research is to investigate not only the detailed physical aspects but also to provide an overview of its future applications in optoelectronics, displays, sensors and microelectronic industry. 相似文献

Chitosan–starch blend films (thickness 0.2 mm) of different composition were prepared by casting and their mechanical properties were studied. To improve the properties of chitosan–starch films, glycerol and mustard oil of different composition were used. Chitosan–starch films, incorporated with glycerol and mustard oil, were further modified with monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) using gamma radiation. The modified films showed improvement in both tensile strength and elongation at break than the pure chitosan–starch films. Water uptake of the films reduced significantly than the pure chitosan–starch film. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that the modified films experience less thermal degradation than the pure films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR were used to investigate the morphology and molecular interaction of the blend film, respectively. 相似文献

A new cost-effective amperometric proton selective sensor utilizing a single microhole interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) is developed. The sensing methodology is based on measuring currents associated with proton transfer across the interface assisted by a proton selective ionophore. The ellipse shaped micro-interface was first fabricated by simple mechanical punching with a sharp needle on a thin PVC film (12 μm thick) commercially available as a food wrapping material. The microhole was then filled up with a gellified polyvinylchloride (PVC)-2-nitrophenyloctylether (NPOE) to create a single microhole liquid/liquid interface. Direct ion transfer reactions across the polarized interface serving as ion sensing platforms were studied using cyclic voltammetry. In order to enhance the selectivity of proton sensing, a proton selective ionophore, octadecyl isonicotinate (ETH1778), was incorporated into the organic gel layer and their electrochemical sensing characteristics were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse stripping voltammetry. As an example, we employed the proton selective sensor for the determination of glucose concentrations. The detection scheme involves two steps: (i) protons are first generated by the oxidation of glucose with glucose oxidase in the aqueous phase; and (ii) the current associated with the proton transfer across the interface is then measured for correlating the concentration of glucose. 相似文献

Plants, as with humans, require photoprotection against the potentially damaging effects of overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Previously, sinapoyl malate (SM) was identified as the photoprotective agent in thale cress. Here, we seek to identify the photoprotective agent in a similar plant, garden cress, which is currently used in the skincare product Detoxophane nc. To achieve this, we explore the photodynamics of both the garden cress sprout extract and Detoxophane nc with femtosecond transient electronic absorption spectroscopy. With the assistance of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, we determine that the main UV-absorbing compound in garden cress sprout extract is SM. Importantly, our studies reveal that the photoprotection properties of the SM in the garden cress sprout extract present in Detoxophane nc are not compromised by the formulation environment. The result suggests that Detoxophane nc containing the garden cress sprout extract may offer additional photoprotection to the end user in the form of a UV filter booster. 相似文献

An improved scheme to help in the prediction of protein structure is presented. This procedure generates improved starting conformations of a protein suitable for energy minimization. Trivariate gaussian distribution functions for the π, ψ, and χ1 dihedral angles have been derived, using conformational data from high resolution protein structures selected from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). These trivariate probability functions generate initial values for the π, ψ, and χ1 dihedral angles which reflect the experimental values found in the PDB. These starting structures speed the search of the conformational space by focusing the search mainly in the regions of native proteins. The efficiency of the new trivariate probability distributions is demonstrated by comparing the results for the α-class polypeptide fragment, the mutant Antennapedia (C39 → S) homeodomain (2HOA), with those from two reference probability functions. The first reference probability function is a uniform or flat probability function and the second is a bivariate probability function for π and ψ. The trivariate gaussian probability functions are shown to search the conformational space more efficiently than the other two probability functions. The trivariate gaussian probability functions are also tested on the binding domain of Streptococcal protein G (2GB1), an α/β class protein. Since presently available energy functions are not accurate enough to identify the most native-like energy-minimized structures, three selection criteria were used to identify a native-like structure with a 1.90-Å rmsd from the NMR structure as the best structure for the Antennapedia fragment. Each individual selection criterion (ECEPP/3 energy, ECEPP/3 energy-plus-free energy of hydration, or a knowledge-based mean field method) was unable to identify a native-like structure, but simultaneous application of more than one selection criterion resulted in a successful identification of a native-like structure for the Antennapedia fragment. In addition to these tests, structure predictions are made for the Antennapedia polypeptide, using a Pattern Recognition-based Importance-Sampling Minimization (PRISM) procedure to predict the backbone conformational state of the mutant Antennapedia homeodomain. The ten most probable backbone conformational state predictions were used with the trivariate and bivariate gaussian dihedral angle probability distributions to generate starting structures (i.e., dihedral angles) suitable for energy minimization. The final energy-minimized structures show that neither the trivariate nor the bivariate gaussian probability distributions are able to overcome the inaccuracies in the backbone conformational state predictions to produce a native-like structure. Until highly accurate predictions of the backbone conformational states become available, application of these dihedral angle probability distributions must be limited to problems, such as homology modeling, in which only a limited portion of the backbone (e.g., surface loops) must be explored. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

A circular dichroic (CD) excition chirality method based on host-guest chiral recognition has been developed to determine the absolute configuration of carboxylic acids with an alpha-stereogenic center; an amide C = O-->Zn coordination, identified by infrared spectroscopy and computations, is involved in this complexation. 相似文献

5-Bromosalicylalcohol was prepared by the interaction of NaBH4 and 5-bromosalicylaldehyde. The use of sodium borohydride makes the reaction easy, facile, economic and does not require any toxic catalyst. The compound is characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, TEM and ESI-mass spectra. Crystal structure is determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. Quantum mechanical calculations of geometries, energies and thermodynamic parameters are carried out using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6-311G(d,p) basis set. The optimized geometrical parameters obtained by B3LYP method show good agreement with experimental data. 相似文献

CuI–Zn(OAc)2 catalyzed, a fast, solvent-free synthetic protocol has been developed for the oxidative C–C and C–N coupling via C(sp2)–H activation. In this work, an aldehyde, terminal alkyne and 3-aminocoumarin were coupled together to form pyridocoumarin framework through a greener ball milling process under very mild condition. In contrast to the frequently used imine-alkyne cyclization reactions, this uncommon mild CuI–CuIII switching combo-catalysis is expected to proceed through the formation of a flexible propargylic amine intermediate, which leads to a rapid C(sp2)–H activation for cyclization involving transient CuIII species. The in-situ formation of transient CuIII species was confirmed through ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses of the reaction mixture. 相似文献

We have synthesized eco‐friendly, economic, and equally efficient polysulfobetaine‐based gel electrolyte to the alternative of liquid electrolyte in the fabrication of dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) for the first time. This nitrogen‐rich and highly conductive polysulfobetaine was synthesized by an easy and facile method without the use of any catalyst and explored for its DSSC application. The synthesized polymer gel electrolyte exhibited good ionic conductivity about 6.8 × 10?3 Scm?1 at ambient temperatures. DSSCs were fabricated based on this polysulfobetaine gel electrolyte and studied for their performance based on photovoltaic parameters. The DSSC photovoltaic results were appreciable and are Voc = 0.82 V, Jsc = 11.49 mA/cm2, FF = 66%, and PCE = 6.26% at 1 sun intensity. These values are slightly lower than conventional liquid electrolyte‐based DSSC shown as Voc = 0.78 V, Jsc = 12.90 mA/cm2, FF = 69%, and PCE = 7.07%, both at 100 mWcm?2. Conductivity and photovoltaic parameters of the device reveals that as prepared polysulfobetaine‐based polymer gel electrolyte may be useful in the fabrication of DSSC and other electrochemical devices.
