One Fluorophore-Two Sensing Films: Hydrogen-Bond Directed Formation of a Quadruple Perylene Bisimide Stack

Elaborately designed π-stacked molecular aggregates are significant for modulation of photophysical properties of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Herein, a double hydrogen-bonds trussed di(pyridyl)pyrrole-perylene bisimide (HDPP-PBI) was designed and its dimerization behavior was studied. HDPP-PBI tends to form a quadruple PBI stack with a dimerization constant of ∼5.56×10⁶ M⁻¹. The dimerization was ascribed to synergistic intramolecular double hydrogen-bonds formation and intermolecular π-π stacking. Addition of CF₃COOH, a hydrogen bond blocker, promotes the dimer to monomer transition. Accordingly, two distinct fluorescent films were prepared by drop-casting of the dimerized or the monomeric HDPP-PBI onto a substrate surface. Interestingly, the less-emissive PBI quadruple stack-based film showed a turn on response to acetone vapor, while the highly emissive HDPP-PBI-based film exhibited fluorescence quenching upon exposure to triethylamine vapor. We believe that the discovered synergistic effect in the PBI aggregates would enlighten the design of new PAHs aggregates with defined structures.     

Platinum and Palladium Nanotubes Based on Genetically Engineered Elastin–Mimetic Fusion Protein‐Fiber Templates: Synthesis and Application in Lithium‐O2 Batteries

The coupling of proteins with self‐assembly properties and proteins that are capable of recognizing and mineralizing specific inorganic species is a promising strategy for the synthesis of nanoscale materials with controllable morphology and functionality. Herein, GPG‐AG3 protein fibers with both of these properties were constructed and served as templates for the synthesis of Pt and Pd nanotubes. The protein fibers of assembled GPG‐AG3 were more than 10 μm long and had diameters of 20–50 nm. The as‐synthesized Pt and Pd nanotubes were composed of dense layers of ～3–5 nm Pt and Pd nanoparticles. When tested as cathodes in lithium‐O₂ batteries, the porous Pt nanotubes showed low charge potentials of 3.8 V, with round‐trip efficiencies of about 65 % at a current density of 100 mA g^?1.     

新型石墨烯基LED器件：从生长机理到器件特性

III族氮化物因具有禁带宽度大、击穿电压高、电子饱和漂移速度大、稳定性高等优异特性而广泛应用在发光二极管(LED)、激光器以及高频器件中。目前III族氮化物薄膜通常是异质外延生长在蓝宝石衬底表面,但是由于蓝宝石与III族氮化物之间存在较大的晶格失配与热失配,使得外延生长的III族氮化物内部存在较大的应力与较高的位错密度,严重影响了器件性能;与此同时,蓝宝石衬底热导率差,限制了其在大功率器件方面的应用。近年来研究发现,石墨烯作为外延生长缓冲层,能够有效解决蓝宝石衬底与外延III族氮化物薄膜之间由于晶格失配和热失配导致的高应力与高位错密度等问题,进而获得了高品质薄膜,并提升了器件的性能。本文综述了石墨烯/蓝宝石衬底上III族氮化物生长与LED器件构筑的研究现状,着重介绍了本课题组提出的一种新型外延衬底—石墨烯/蓝宝石衬底的特点,阐明了III族氮化物在该新型衬底上的生长机理,总结了其对III族氮化物质量提升的作用,并对其发展前景进行了展望。     

Effect of the social influence on topological properties of user-object bipartite networks

Social influence plays an important role in analyzing online users’ collective behaviors[Salganik et al., Science 311, 854 (2006)]. However, the effect of the socialinfluence from the viewpoint of theoretical model is missing. In this paper, by takinginto account the social influence and users’ preferences, we develop a theoretical modelto analyze the topological properties of user-object bipartite networks, including thedegree distribution, average nearest neighbor degree and the bipartite clusteringcoefficient, as well as topological properties of the original user-object networks andtheir unipartite projections. According to the users’ preferences and the global rankingeffect, we analyze the theoretical results for two benchmark data sets, Amazon andBookcrossing, which are approximately consistent with the empirical results. This worksuggests that this model is feasible to analyze topological properties of bipartitenetworks in terms of the social influence and the users’ preferences.     

A New Method for the Synthesis of Oligo-peptides

It was discovered that polypeptides were formed by self-assembly of N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)amino acids with the assistance of O-phenylene phosphorochloridate.^[1] There were three steps involved in the self organization reactions, the activation of amino acid, the elongation of peptide chain and the termination of the chain reaction,among which the activation of amino acid -the formation of imino (alkyl)acetoxyphosphoranes was the key step. The formation process of the penta-coordinated phosphorus intermediates was showed in scheme 1.^[2,3,4] Through further studies of the mechanism of self-assembly reaction, it was found that carbonyl groups of the intermediates attacked by the neuclophilic groups were direct reson of the formation of peptides. However, the peptides in the solution were very difficult to be separated and analyzed.

Training Data Selection and Optimal Sensor Placement for Deep-Learning-Based Sparse Inertial Sensor Human Posture Reconstruction

Although commercial motion-capture systems have been widely used in various applications, the complex setup limits their application scenarios for ordinary consumers. To overcome the drawbacks of wearability, human posture reconstruction based on a few wearable sensors have been actively studied in recent years. In this paper, we propose a deep-learning-based sparse inertial sensor human posture reconstruction method. This method uses bidirectional recurrent neural network (Bi-RNN) to build an a priori model from a large motion dataset to build human motion, thereby the low-dimensional motion measurements are mapped to whole-body posture. To improve the motion reconstruction performance for specific application scenarios, two fundamental problems in the model construction are investigated: training data selection and sparse sensor placement. The problem of deep-learning training data selection is to select independent and identically distributed (IID) data for a certain scenario from the accumulated imbalanced motion dataset with sufficient information. We formulate the data selection into an optimization problem to obtain continuous and IID data segments, which comply with a small reference dataset collected from the target scenario. A two-step heuristic algorithm is proposed to solve the data selection problem. On the other hand, the optimal sensor placement problem is studied to exploit most information from partial observation of human movement. A method for evaluating the motion information amount of any group of wearable inertial sensors based on mutual information is proposed, and a greedy searching method is adopted to obtain the approximate optimal sensor placement of a given sensor number, so that the maximum motion information and minimum redundancy is achieved. Finally, the human posture reconstruction performance is evaluated with different training data and sensor placement selection methods, and experimental results show that the proposed method takes advantages in both posture reconstruction accuracy and model training time. In the 6 sensors configuration, the posture reconstruction errors of our model for walking, running, and playing basketball are 7.25°, 8.84°, and 14.13°, respectively.
