CO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-responsive Polymeric Fluorescent Sensor with Ultrafast Response

Abstract Response speed is one of the most important evaluation criteria for CO₂ sensors. In this work, we report an ultrafast CO₂ fluorescent sensor based on poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate]-b-poly[N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate-r-4-(2-methylacryloyloxyethylamino)-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole] [POEGMA-b-P(DEAEMA-r-NBDMA)], in which DEAEMA units act as the CO₂-responsive segment and 4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD) is the chromophore. The micelles composed of this copolymer could disassemble in 2 s upon CO₂ bubbling, accompanying with enhanced fluorescence emission with bathochromic shift. Furthermore, the quantum yield of the NBD chromophore increases with both the CO₂ aeration time and the NBD content. Thus we attribute the fluorescent enhancement to the inhibition of the photo-induced electron transfer between unprotonated tertiary amine groups and NBD fluorophores. The sensor is durable although it is based on “soft” materials. These micellar sensors could be facilely recycled by alternative CO₂/Ar purging for at least 5 times, indicating good reversibility.     

An “<Emphasis Type="Italic">In Vivo</Emphasis> Self-assembly” Strategy for Constructing Superstructures for Biomedical Applications

The interfacing study of biopolymer and supramolecular chemistry enables a better understanding of fundamental biochemical processes and the creating of new high-performance biomaterials. In this review, we introduced an “in vivo self-assembly” strategy which means in situ construction of functional self-assembled superstructures in specific physiological or pathological conditions in cell, tissue or animal levels that exhibit diverse biomedical effects. By using this strategy, unexpected phenomena and insights, e.g, assembly/aggregation induced retention (AIR) effect have been demonstrated where the self-assembled nanostructures showed extraordinary enhanced accumulation and retention of therapeutics in targeted sites.     

An In situ Study on the Orderly Crystal Growth of Pluronic F127 Block Copolymer Blended with and without Ionic Liquid during Isothermal Crystallization

Isothermal crystallization behavior of Pluronic F127 blended with and without an ionic liquid (IL) was investigated by in situ polarized optical microscopy (POM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). For the pure F127, the POM and FTIR results showed that the spherulite size and crystallinity of F127 increased with the melting temperature increasing to 60, 80, and 135°C. This could be explained by the flexibility of the polymer chain at high melting temperatures. For the F127 blended with IL, the POM results showed that the morphology of F127 evolved from spherulite to dendritic segregation and fibrous crystal with the increasing IL content. FTIR results indicated that hydrogen bonds were formed between F127 and IL, and the intensity of the hydrogen bonds became strengthened gradually with increasing IL content. The effect of hydrogen bonds on the morphology evolution of F127/IL is discussed.     

KLVFF peptide functionalized nanoparticles capture Aβ42 by co-assembly for decreasing cytotoxicity

The bis(pyrene)-Lys-Leu-Val-Phe-Phe-Gly-poly ethylene glycol (BP-KLVFFG-PEG) based nanoparticles capture Aβ₄₂ by recognition and co-assembly, the length of PEG chain in which leads to different morphologies of coassemblies and capture efficiency. The co-assembly strategy shows a decrease of cytotoxicity, potentially for Alzheimer's disease treatment.

Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide to Methanol on Hierarchical Pd/SnO2 Nanosheets with Abundant Pd–O–Sn Interfaces

Electrochemical conversion of CO₂ into fuels using electricity generated from renewable sources helps to create an artificial carbon cycle. However, the low efficiency and poor stability hinder the practical use of most conventional electrocatalysts. In this work, a 2D hierarchical Pd/SnO₂ structure, ultrathin Pd nanosheets partially capped by SnO₂ nanoparticles, is designed to enable multi‐electron transfer for selective electroreduction of CO₂ into CH₃OH. Such a structure design not only enhances the adsorption of CO₂ on SnO₂, but also weakens the binding strength of CO on Pd due to the as‐built Pd–O–Sn interfaces, which is demonstrated to be critical to improve the electrocatalytic selectivity and stability of Pd catalysts. This work provides a new strategy to improve electrochemical performance of metal‐based catalysts by creating metal oxide interfaces for selective electroreduction of CO₂.     

助剂Cu、K对F-T合成铁基催化剂作用的表征研究

采用连续共沉淀和喷雾干燥技术相结合的方法制备了一组Cu、K助剂单独或同时加入的微球状Fischer-Tropsch（F-T）合成铁基催化剂,借助低温N2吸附、MES、XRD、H2-TPR、CO-TPR研究了Cu和K助剂对催化剂织构、还原性能以及还原和炭化过程中的物相变化的影响。结果表明,K助剂的加入能明显提高催化剂的比表面积和铁物相在催化剂中的分散程度,增加了Fe2O3与SiO2间的相互作用;当催化剂在H2和合成气中还原时,Cu助剂的加入有利于催化剂的还原和Fe3O4的生成,在CO中还原时,Cu助剂的加入则有利于α-Fe的生成和稳定化。在H2和合成气中,单独K助剂的加入会抑制催化剂的还原或炭化,而Cu和K助剂的同时加入在H2、CO和合成气下均可使催化剂的还原或炭化能力明显提高,表明Cu和K助剂间存在一定的协同作用。     

费-托合成Co/ZrO2-Al2O3催化剂反应性能的研究

以ZrOCl2·6H2O和AlCl3为原料,采用共沉淀方法制得一系列不同ZrO2质量分数的ZrO2-Al2O3混合氧化物载体;并以该混合氧化物为载体,采用初湿浸渍法制得钴质量分数为12％的Co/ZrO2-Al2O3催化剂。XRD、NH3-TPD、TPR和原位IR等表征结果表明,随着混合载体中ZrO2质量分数的增加,载体比表面积先增加后减少,混合载体的平均孔径则小于单一氧化物ZrO2和Al2O3的平均孔径。ZrO2和Al2O3载体混合后会导致氧化物的比表面积和酸性增大并且有新的物相生成。当混合氧化物用作载体时,能够抑制载体表面金属钴的分散,改变催化剂的还原行为,降低催化剂对CO物种的吸附能力。CO加氢反应表明,与单一金属氧化物相比,钴负载ZrO2-Al2O3混合氧化物催化剂的加氢活性和重质烃选择性有所降低。     

用[BMIM][Cu2Cl3]离子液体萃取脱除汽油中的硫化物

以不同的IL（ionic liquid）/油质量比,采用[BMIM][Cu2Cl3]（[BMIM]=1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium）对模型汽油和商品汽油进行单步和多步萃取脱硫实验;并合成几种具有不同阴离子和阳离子结构的离子液体,评价和比较了离子液体对商品汽油的萃取脱硫性能的影响。实验结果表明,具有较好的水稳定性和常温流动性的[BMIM] [Cu2Cl3]离子液体硫容较高,在IL/油质量比为1∶3时,经多步萃取后,油品中的硫质量分数降至20×10-6～30×10-6,累计脱硫率超过95%。汽油中其他组分对脱硫效果影响很小。[BMIM][Cu2Cl3]与汽油形成稳定的两相系统,分离方便。离子液体脱硫能力可以通过四氯化碳反萃取完全恢复。     

SO2存在下钠、钙、铁及其复合物对NO-半焦反应的催化作用

采用程序升温还原技术,在SO2存在气氛下,对钠、钙、铁及其复合物的NO-半焦催化反应性能进行了研究。结果表明,在相同条件下三种金属对NO-半焦反应的催化活性顺序为：Fe>Ca>Na。SO2可能通过参与氧传递过程来影响金属对NO-半焦反应的催化活性。SO2的浓度对负载三种不同金属半焦催化活性的影响是不同的。SO2浓度对负载钠半焦的催化活性影响最为显著。在SO2存在气氛下,负载2％钠或铁和负载3％钙的半焦具有高的NO转化活性。在SO2存在气氛下,钠－钙和钠－铁二元金属复合催化剂的活性较高,这可能是由于这两种金属间存在协同作用的缘故。
