Preparation methods and thermal stability of calcipotriol solid lipid nanoparticles and efficacy in plaque psoriasis treatment

The preparation of Calcipotriol by solid lipid nanoparticles and the encapsulation of drugs in solid lipids are expected to obtain a new preparation with strong cutin permeability, slow release and targeting effect, so as to improve the local therapeutic effect of the drug and reduce the occurrence of skin irritation symptoms. In this work, Calcipotriol solid lipid nanoparticle (CPT-SLN) preparation methods are introduced and the stability of CPT-SLNs gel was evaluated by appearance, leakage rate and content. The performance was stable in a low-temperature environment of 4 °C for 40 days. There were no significant changes in appearance, and drug content and permeability can be controlled around 0.00469% and 0.26. However, it has poor stability under the storage conditions of 25 °C and 40 °C at room temperature. Therefore, the suitable conditions for the gel storage should be around 4 °C and sealed away from light. Pharmacodynamic experiments showed that CPT solid lipid nanoparticle gel was more effective than market-sale Calcipotriol ointment in the treatment of psoriasis. Further clinical tests have shown that CPT-SLNS can cure plaque psoriasis more effectively.

     

Built-in piezoelectric field improved photocatalytic performance of nanoflower-like Bi2WO6 using low-power white LEDs

Photocatalysis technology has been proved to be a potential strategy for removal of organic dyes, however high-power light sources are generally necessary to initiate photocatalytic reaction. In this work, we employed an excellent photocatalyst of Bi₂WO₆ with visible light harvest and meanwhile an intrinsic ferroelectricity, which realized the efficient degradation of organic dye via the synergetic photopiezocatalysis. Through coupling the illumination by a low-power (9 W) LED and the ultrasonic vibration (120 W) by an ultrasonic cleaner, the nanoflower-like Bi₂WO₆ composed of ultrathin nanosheets showed a much more enhanced photopiezocatalysis performance for purification of organic dye than the individual photocatalysis and piezocatalysis. Furthermore, the high mineralization efficiency and the good durability of the Bi₂WO₆ catalyst were demonstrated. The possible mechanism of photopiezocatalysis was finally proposed, where the ultrasound-induced piezoelectric field in Bi₂WO₆ drove photo-generated electrons and holes to diffuse along opposite directions, consequently promoting the separation efficiency of charge carriers. This work indicates that the synergetic photopiezocatalysis by coupling irradiation and ultrasonic vibration is a promising strategy to purify organic pollutants in wastewater.

Incompatibility networks as models of scale-free small-world graphs

We make a mapping from Sierpinski fractals to a new class of networks, the incompatibility networks, which are scale-free, small-world, disassortative, and maximal planar graphs. Some relevant characteristics of the networks such as degree distribution, clustering coefficient, average path length, and degree correlations are computed analytically and found to be peculiarly rich. The method of network representation can be applied to some real-life systems making it possible to study the complexity of real networked systems within the framework of complex network theory.     

高可见光催化降解污染物和产氢活性的Z型N-掺杂K4Nb6O17/g-C3N4异质结

随着人口增长和全球工业化进程加快,人们饱受环境污染和能源短缺问题的困扰.半导体光催化技术作为一种高效、可持续、环境友好、有潜力的新技术,在环境净化和能源开发方面有着广阔的应用前景.到目前为止,人们已开发出多种半导体光催化剂,并广泛应用于污染物降解、氢气制备和二氧化碳还原等领域.其中,化合物K4Nb6O17具有典型的层状结构、合适的电子能带结构、结构易改性以及良好的电荷传输性能等特点,在光催化领域得到了广泛研究.然而,单纯K4Nb6O17仍存在光响应范围窄、光生载流子复合率高等问题,限制了K4Nb6O17的进一步应用.因此,需要对K4Nb6O17进行改性,拓宽其光吸收范围,提高其光生载流子分离效率,从而提高其光催化活性.本研究通过简单焙烧法制备Z型N-掺杂K4Nb6O17/g-C3N4(KCN)异质结光催化剂,其中石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)在复合材料中质量比约为50%.层状K4Nb6O17层板的电子结构通过N掺杂进行调控,拓宽其光响应范围,使其具有可见光响应;同时,形成的g-C3N4位于N-掺杂K4Nb6O17的外层以及内层空间,在这两种组分之间形成异质结,有利于提高光生载流子的分离效率.荧光光谱、时间分辨荧光光谱和光电化学测试表明,N掺杂和异质结的形成有利于增强光生电子-空穴对的传输和分离效率.通过在可见光照射下降解罗丹明B(RhB)和产氢来评估材料的光催化性能.相比g-C3N4(8.24μmol/h)和Me-K4Nb6O17(~1.30μmol/h),KCN复合材料光催化产氢效率(~16.91μmol/h)得到了极大提高,并显示出极好的光催化产氢稳定性能.对于光催化降解RhB体系,KCN复合材料也显示出较好的光催化活性和稳定性,并能很好地将RhB矿化.鉴于KCN复合材料具有较小的比表面积(9.9 m^2/g)且无孔结构,认为比表面积对光催化活性影响较小.因此,与单组分相比,KCN复合材料光催化产氢和RhB降解活性都得到了极大提高,活性的增强主要归功于N掺杂和异质结形成的协同效应,其中N掺杂可以拓宽光捕获能力,异质结形成可提高电荷载流子的分离效率.电子自旋共振(ESR)谱表明,在KCN降解RhB体系中,超氧自由基(·O2^?)、羟基自由基(·OH)和空穴(h^+)作为主要活性物质都参与了反应.结合实验结果可以推测KCN复合材料满足了Z型光催化体系,该体系具有高效的光生载流子分离效率和较高的氧化还原能力.     

MIL-53(Al)衍生的Rh单原子催化剂在间氯硝基苯选择性加氢制间氯苯胺反应中的应用

卤代苯胺是化学工业中重要的中间体,主要用于制造药物、聚合物、染料等含氮化学品,用多相金属催化剂催化卤代硝基芳烃加氢制备卤代苯胺是一种高效,绿色和可持续发展的生产工艺.该过程需要选择性加氢硝基基团,同时避免卤素基团的脱卤副反应发生.然而,化学选择性加氢存在巨大的挑战,难点在于催化剂的精准设计,一方面要求具备对硝基基团合适的加氢能力,另一方面要阻止对卤素基团的脱卤副反应发生.基于此,研制高效多相金属催化剂用于卤代硝基芳烃选择性加氢制备卤代苯胺反应引起了高度关注.近年来,单原子金属催化剂受到越来越多的关注,并在卤代硝基芳烃选择性加氢制备卤代苯胺反应中显现出极大的潜力.本文通过在金属有机骨架材料MIL-53(Al)自组装的过程中将金属Rh原位嫁接其骨架结构中,继而通过限域热解的方法制备了Rh@Al2O3@C单原子催化剂,其在间氯硝基苯(m-CNB)加氢制间氯苯胺(m-CAN)反应中显现了高效催化选择性.球差校正高角度环形暗场模式的透射电镜,CO作为探针分子的红外光谱和X射线光电子能谱等结果发现,Rh是以单原子的形式均匀的分布在Al2O3上并被无定型碳包覆,且Rh化学价态呈正价.而27Al固体核磁共振与密度泛函理论计算的结果则进一步确定Al2O3@C载体中存在的五配位的Al物种(AlV)是锚定Rh单原子的主要位点,AlV的不饱和的配位结构可以有效地稳定Rh单原子,对形成Rh位点的单原子分散至关重要.在间氯硝基苯选择性加氢制间氯苯胺反应中,与等体积浸渍法制备的Rh/C和Rh/γ-Al2O3纳米催化剂相比,Rh@Al2O3@C单原子催化剂表现出优异催化性能:其在313 K,氢气压力为20 bar的温和条件下转换频率(TOF)高达2317 molm-CNB·molRh-1·h-1,优于已报道的多相金属催化剂,是目前的最高值.此外,该催化剂展现出极佳的稳定性能,经过五次循环后,该催化剂对m-CAN的选择性仍旧保持在98％左右.Rh@Al2O3@C单原子催化剂的优异催化性能源自于金属单原子结构的形成对于金属位点电子结构的有效调节,进而调控催化剂加氢性能并实现对加氢脱卤副反应的抑制;与此同时,Rh@Al2O3@C催化剂增进了酸位点的可及性,从而促进了其串联步骤中包含的脱水反应的发生,进而有效提高催化剂的反应活性.
