Single-Step Hydrothermal Synthesis of Biochar from H3PO4-Activated Lettuce Waste for Efficient Adsorption of Cd(II) in Aqueous Solution

Developing an ideal and cheap adsorbent for adsorbing heavy metals from aqueous solution has been urgently need. In this study, a novel, effective and low-cost method was developed to prepare the biochar from lettuce waste with H₃PO₄ as an acidic activation agent at a low-temperature (circa 200 °C) hydrothermal carbonization process. A batch adsorption experiment demonstrated that the biochar reaches the adsorption equilibrium within 30 min, and the optimal adsorption capacity of Cd(II) is 195.8 mg∙g⁻¹ at solution pH 6.0, which is significantly improved from circa 20.5 mg∙g⁻¹ of the original biochar without activator. The fitting results of the prepared biochar adsorption data conform to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (PSO) and the Sips isotherm model, and the Cd(II) adsorption is a spontaneous and exothermic process. The hypothetical adsorption mechanism is mainly composed of ion exchange, electrostatic attraction, and surface complexation. This work offers a novel and low-temperature strategy to produce cheap and promising carbon-based adsorbents from organic vegetation wastes for removing heavy metals in aquatic environment efficiently.

采用HPLC-ESI-Q-TOF和MALD I-TOF质谱技术分析儿茶素组成与结构,发现儿茶素中的表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯(EGCG)具有多聚体特性。有机化学法合成EGCG-Ge4 化合物,并经HPLC进一步分离纯化。红外光谱和质谱技术分析并证实EGCG不仅能形成多聚体,而且还能络合金属锗(包括其他金属离子),成为EGCG-Ge4 和EGCG-Ge4 多聚体。EGCG-Ge4 抑制肺癌细胞生长速率明显高于EGCG,其提高幅度约为30%~40%左右。     

一维光子晶体缺陷模激光器的放大特性

光子晶体中引入缺陷后将形成缺陷模,这些缺陷模在增益介质中将被放大形成激光。基于麦克斯韦方程和速率方程相结合的模型,用时域有限差分法(FDTD)计算和分析了一维单缺陷光子晶体激光器中缺陷模的空间分布和频谱特性,以及这些缺陷模的放大特性,主要研究了缺陷层的厚度、晶体层数对缺陷模放大特性的影响。模拟结果显示,类似于传统激光腔的腔模,这些缺陷模能够被放大,形成激光。调整缺陷层的厚度、晶体层数等结构参量,将改变缺陷模的谐振,激射频率以及空间分布,这将直接影响激射阈值和饱和特性。增加晶体的层数,激光器的阈值将降低,饱和值将增加,但晶体层数增加到一定限度时,这种增减趋势变弱。模拟结果证明了有效层数的存在。     

Discovery of Novel Non-Oxime Reactivators Showing In Vivo Antidotal Efficiency for Sarin Poisoned Mice

A family of novel efficient non-oxime compounds exhibited promising reactivation efficacy for VX and sarin inhibited human acetylcholinesterase was discovered. It was found that aromatic groups coupled to Mannich phenols and the introduction of imidazole to the ortho position of phenols would dramatically enhance reactivation efficiency. Moreover, the in vivo experiment was conducted, and the results demonstrated that Mannich phenol L10R1 (30 mg/kg, ip) could afford 100% 48 h survival for mice of 2*LD₅₀ sarin exposure, which is promising for the development of non-oxime reactivators with central efficiency.

Carbon Encapsulation of High Entropy Alloy Nanoparticles with Extraordinary Coercivity and Saturation at Room Temperature

Owing to their unique properties and technological potential, high entropy alloys (HEAs) have become the subject of great interest in the materials science community. HEAs consist of more than four principle elements in equimolar ratio so their configurational entropy is intrinsically greater than one-principle element based. The increasing surface energy and chemical tendency toward clustering of like atoms at low dimension, however, make production of HEA-nanoparticles (HEA-NPs) extremely difficult. A facile production of HEA-NPs inside carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles is demonstrated in this work. Electron microscopic and elemental analyses confirm encapsulated to be solution phase; some embrace carbides and form multidomains with chemical composition ranging from quaternary to quinary phase. Multidomains and nonmagnetic centers create hardening thus promoting coercivity significantly at room temperature. Alloying induces electron redistribution into high spin states, accounting for observed high saturation. Configurational entropy of encapsulated HEA-NPs lies on a range comparable with bulk.
