Sensitive detection of luteolin based on poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-functionalized graphene-carbon nanotubes hybrid/β-cyclodextrin composite film

Poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA)-functionalized graphene sheets-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (G-CNTs) hybrid materials (PDDA-G-CNTs) were successfully synthesized. The materials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. Then, an electrochemical sensor based on PDDA-G-CNTs/β-cyclodextrin (PDDA-G-CNTs/β-CD) was fabricated for the sensitive determination of luteolin. In 0.2 M HAc–NaAc buffer solution (pH 5.0), the redox peak currents of luteolin increased significantly on PDDA-G-CNTs/β-CD modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), suggesting that the composite film not only showed excellent electronic properties of PDDA-G-CNTs but also exhibited high molecular recognition capability of β-CD. The chronocoulometry investigation demonstrated that the composite could effectively increase the electrochemical active surface. Under the optimal conditions, the oxidation peak current of luteolin increased linearly with increasing the concentration in the range from 0.05 to 60 μM with the detection limit of 0.02 μM (S/N?=?3). The developed electrochemical sensor exhibited high selectivity, good stability and reproducibility, and also successfully determined luteolin in drug samples.     

高锰钢微合金化表层组织的转变及其对耐磨性的影响

本文利用X射线和透射电子显微镜考察了微合金化高锰钢在辊轧、静压和冲击磨粒磨损条件下表层组织的转变,发现高锰钢在加Nb并吹N_2以后形变时容易发生γ→α-M转变,而普通高锰钢和吹N_2高锰钢在相同条件下都只形成了大量的形变孪晶。冲击磨粒磨损试验表明,加Nb和/或吹N_2高锰钢的耐磨性比普通高锰钢的高33％—97％。文章指出,往高锰钢中加入适量的Nb,可以引起奥氏体在磨损过程中转变为形变诱发马氏体,这是强化奥氏体基体,提高高锰钢之加工硬化速率和耐磨性的有效途径之一。     

商用氧化铟锡玻璃:室温高效还原氮气的催化剂电极

NH₃作为一种必需的活化氮源,在化肥、染料、爆炸物和药物等的制造中起到了关键作用;同时,它也是一种在交通运输领域具有吸引力的无碳能源载体.工业上生产氨气使用典型的哈伯-博世工艺,但是此工艺涉及大量的能源消耗和碳排放,给环境带来巨大的压力.电化学氮还原反应(NRR)能够在温和环境下实现环境友好、节能的氨合成,但此过程需要高效的电催化剂.高效的NRR催化剂(Au、Ag、Pd和Ru)储量少、成本高,阻碍了它的实际应用.因此,设计和开发由地球上丰富的元素制成的具有成本效益的催化剂来代替NRR催化剂意义重大.本课题组最近的研究(Chem.Commun.,2018,54,12966-12969)表明,SnO2在环境条件下具有电催化氧化活性,但其低电导率限制了其性能,可通过氟掺杂或石墨烯杂化予以解决.氧化铟锡(ITO)作为一种含SnO2的材料,导电性好,可望用于NRR的高效电催化剂中.因此,本文采用商用氧化铟锡玻璃(ITO/G)作为催化剂电极,在温和环境条件下进行N₂-NH₃的电化学转化,并呈现出对生成氨气有较高的选择性.XRD和XPS结果表示,商用ITO/G中存在In,Sn和O元素;SEM显示ITO/G具有清晰的纳米薄膜结构和267 nm的截面厚度;相应的EDX谱图显示In,Sn和O元素分布均匀,且原子比为32.11:3.16:64.74.采用紫外-可见光谱及线性扫描伏安和恒电位极化等电化学测试研究了商用ITO/G的NRR活性.在0.5 M LiClO4电解液中测试时,于-0.40 V vs.RHE条件下,ITO/G的NH₃产率为1.06×10^-10 mol s^-1 cm^-2,其法拉第效率为6.17%.15N同位素标记实验证实了所测到的NH₃是由ITO/G催化的N₂电还原反应生成的.利用第一性原理计算探讨了在ITO催化剂上可能的NRR反应机理,确定了ITO催化剂的NRR活性位点、N₂化学吸附活性位点以及NRR的反应途径.此外,24 h恒电位(-0.40 V vs.RHE)极化测试和2 h恒电位极化(-0.40 V vs.RHE)测试后的XRD和SEM结果表明,该催化剂具有较高的电化学稳定性.综上所述,商用ITO/G用作在环境条件下将N₂转化为NH₃的有效催化剂电极,将为开发人工固定氮气的ITO基纳米结构提供一种研究途径.     

Water-dispersible hydroxyapatite nanoparticles synthesized in aqueous solution containing grape seed extract

A novel and effective method for the preparation of water-dispersible nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) particles was reported. nHAp was prepared in the presence of grape seed polyphenol (GSP) solution with different concentrations. Chemical precipitation method was adopted to produce pure nHAp and modified nHAp (nHAp-GSP) at 60 °C for 2 h. The chemical nature of the products was detected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Moreover, the crystal structure and morphology of particles was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the spherical nHAp particles with a diameter of 20-50 nm could be synthesized at 60 °C. The zeta potential values of pure nHAp and nHAp-GSP are −0.36 mV and −26.1 mV respectively. According to the sedimentary time, the colloidal stability of nHAp-GSP in water could be improved dramatically with the increase of GSP content and the particles tended to exist as dispersive nanoparticles without aggregation. All the results indicated that GSP exhibited strong binding to nHAp and enhanced the colloidal stability of nHAp particles.     

Derivatives of 5-nitro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione: design, synthesis, and biological activity

Abstract  

A series of mono and bis-2-(2-(dimethylamino)-ethyl)-5-nitro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-diones with different amino side chains, a novel family of antitumor agents, has been designed and synthesized. Their antitumor activity was evaluated against HeLa, A549, P388, HL-60, MCF-7, HCT-8, and A375 cancer cell lines in vitro. Preliminary results showed that most of the derivatives had antitumor activity comparable with that of mitonafide, with IC ₅₀ values of 10⁻⁶–10⁻⁵ M. More importantly, the derivatives had distinct antitumor selectivity against different cancer cell lines. This work provided a novel class of mitonafide-based lead compounds with improved antitumor selectivity against cancer cell lines for further optimization.     

Grafting poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate onto Fe3O4 nanoparticles to resist nonspecific protein adsorption

Magnetic nanoparticles grafted with poly(poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate) (P(PEGMA)) were prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. In this approach, S-benzyl S′-trimethoxysilylpropyltrithiocarbonate, used as a chain transfer agent for RAFT, was first immobilized onto the magnetic nanoparticle surface, and then PEGMA was grafted onto the surface of magnetic nanoparticle via RAFT polymerization. The results showed that P(PEGMA) chains grew from magnetic nanoparticles by surface-induced RAFT polymerization. The grafted P(PEGMA) chains can decrease the nonspecific adsorption of proteins on the surface of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles.     

New Fe-based amorphous compound powder cores with superior DC-bias properties and low loss characteristics

The Fe–Si–B–P–C metallic glassy alloys exhibit relatively high glass forming ability (GFA) as well as good soft magnetic properties such as ultra-low core loss. In this paper, the metallic glassy alloy (Fe_0.76Si_0.09B_0.10P_0.05)₉₈C₂ has been newly developed. A new Fe-based amorphous compound powder was prepared from FeSiB amorphous powder by crushing the amorphous ribbons as the first magnetic component and FeSiBPC metallic glassy powder by water atomization as the second magnetic component. Subsequently by adding organic and inorganic binders to the compound powder and cold pressing, the new Fe-based amorphous compound powder cores were fabricated. These new Fe-based amorphous compound powder cores combine the superior DC-bias properties and the excellently low core loss. The core loss of 453 kW/m³ at B_m=0.1 T and f=100 kHz was obtained when the mass ratio of FeSiB/FeSiBPC equals 3:2, and meanwhile the DC-bias properties of the new Fe-based amorphous compound powder cores just increased by 10% at H=100 Oe for μ=60 compared to those of the FeSiBPC powder cores. In addition, with the increase in the content of the FeSiPC metallic glassy powder, the core loss tends to decrease.     

Fluorogermanate glass with reduced content of OH-groups for infrared fiber optics

The hydroxyl (OH⁻) impurities in germanium oxide (GeO₂)-based glasses cause a strong absorption band between 2.4 and 3.6 μm, which makes this region of the electromagnetic spectrum inaccessible for signal transmission. To eliminate the OH⁻ absorption, PbF₂ was employed by partially replacing the PbO content in the following compositions: 56GeO₂−(31-x) PbO–9Na₂O–4Ga₂O₃–xPbF₂ (x = 0, 3, 6, 9, 15, 25, 31). The removal of OH^- ions in relation to the concentration of PbF₂ incorporated in the glass-forming liquid was systematically studied. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were respectively used for the analysis of glass devitrification and optical properties. The results of FTIR suggest that over 99% OH⁻ impurity was removed, as compared to glasses without a purification process. An optimized core/cladding glass pair was then selected and the rod-in-tube technique was used. Fiber drawing conditions were established using the measured viscosity data and the devitrification range. The low OH⁻ absorption fiber has demonstrated the transmission window up to 4 μm with a loss of 2.34 dB/m at 1.49 μm.
