Au/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/Graphene Composite with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity Under Both UV and Visible Light Irradiation

Au/TiO₂/graphene composite was synthesized by the combination of electrostatic attraction and photo-reduction method. In the composite, graphene sheets act as an adsorption site for dye molecules to provide a high concentration of dye near to the TiO₂ and Au nanoparticles (NPs), and work as an excellent electron transporter to separate photoinduced e ^?/h ⁺ pairs. Under UV irradiation, photogenerated electrons of TiO₂ are transferred effectively to Au NPs and graphene sheets, respectively, retarding the recombination of electron–hole pairs. Under visible light irradiation, the Au NPs are photo-excited due to the surface plasmon resonance effect, and charge separation is accomplished by the interfacial electron injection from the Au NPs to the conduction band of TiO₂ and then transfer further to graphene sheets. As a result, compared with pure TiO₂, Au/TiO₂/graphene composite exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity for degradation of methylene blue under both UV and visible light irradiation, based on the synergistic effect of Au, graphene in contact with TiO₂, allowing response to the visible light, effective separation of photoinduced charges, and better adsorption of the dye molecules.     

Theoretical study on Si-doped hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) sheet: Electronic,magnetic properties,and reactivity

The properties and reactivity of Si-doped hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) sheets were studied using density functional theory (DFT) methods. We find that Si impurity is more likely to substitute the boron site (Si_B) due to the low formation energy. Si-doping severely deforms h-BN sheet, resulting in the local curvature changes of h-BN sheet. Moreover, Si-doping introduces two spin localized states within the band gap of h-BN sheet, thus rendering the two doped systems exhibit acceptor properties. The band gap of h  -BN sheet is reduced from ∼4.70 eV$\sim 4.70\text{eV}$ to 1.24 (for Si_B) and 0.84 eV (for Si_N), respectively. In addition, Si-doped one exhibits higher activity than pristine one, endowing them wider application potential.     

聚光型粗细调互补阳光信号采集器的研制

高准确度自动跟踪系统是太阳能聚光器必不可少的组成部分,而信号采集器能否精确可靠地采集到阳光照射方向的信号又是自动跟踪准确度的关键.本文提出了一种粗细调互补信号采集器的设计方案,在正常工作期间通过软件能够根据需要不断地自动调整选择二组光电传感器中其中一组输出的差模信号作为有效信号,从而有效地解决了大范围寻找太阳和高准确度跟踪之间的矛盾|而在此基础上改进为对聚光后的阳光信号进行采集的新结构,又彻底解决了光电传感器本身在光照强度很大时进入饱和区与光照强度很弱时输出的差模信号太小的问题,有效延长了聚光器在早晚时段的正常工作时间.据此原理制作的聚光型粗细调互补信号采集器应用于某公司的CPV型1200W砷化镓发电系统中,取得了很好的跟踪效果,其实际跟踪误差≤0.1°（立体角）.     

Influence of screw length and diameter on tibial strain energy density distribution after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Postoperative tunnel enlargement has been frequently reported after anterior cruciate ligament（ACL）reconstruction.Interference screw,as a surgical implant in ACL reconstruction,may influence natural loading transmission and contribute to tunnel enlargement.The aims of this study are（1）to quantify the alteration of strain energy density（SED）distribution after the anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction;and（2）to characterize the influence of screw length and diameter on the degree of the SED alteration.A validated finite element model of human knee joint was used.The screw length ranging from 20 to 30 mm with screw diameter ranging from 7 to 9 mm were investigated.In the post-operative knee,the SED increased steeply at the extra-articular tunnel aperture under compressive and complex loadings,whereas the SED decreased beneath the screw shaft and nearby the intra-articular tunnel aperture.Increasing the screw length could lower the SED deprivation in the proximal part of the bone tunnel;whereas increasing either screw length or diameter could aggravate the SED deprivation in the distal part of the bone tunnel.Decreasing the elastic modulus of the screw could lower the bone SED deprivation around the screw.In consideration of both graft stability and SED alteration,a biodegradable interference screw with a long length is recommended,which could provide a beneficial mechanical environment at the distal part of the tunnel,and meanwhile decrease the bone-graft motion and synovial fluid propagation at the proximal part of the tunnel.These findings together with the clinical and histological factors could help to improve surgical outcome,and serve as a preliminary knowledge for the following study of biodegradable interference screw.

Imidazolium ionic liquid-supported sulfonic acids: efficient and recyclable catalysts for esterification of benzoic acid

Several imidazolium ionic liquid（IL）-supported sulfonic acids with different anions,[C₃SO₃Hmim]HSO₄,[C₃SO₃Hmim]BF₄, [C₃SO₃ Hmim]PF₆,and[C₃SO₃Hmim]CF₃SO₃,were synthesized and applied as catalysts for esterification reaction of benzoic acid. The experimental results indicate that imidazolium IL-supported sulfonic acid containing anion of HSO₄^- shows the best catalytic activity.Only when less[C₃SO₃Hmim]HSO₄（0.3 equiv.） applied,was the product obtained with high yield of 97%.Furthermore, the produced esters could be separated by decantation,and the catalyst could be reused after the removal of water.     

Preparation and characterization of high-rate and long-cycle LiFePO4/C nanocomposite as cathode material for lithium-ion battery

Olivine LiFePO₄/C nanocomposite cathode materials with small-sized particles and a unique electrochemical performance were successfully prepared by a simple solid-state reaction using oxalic acid and citric acid as the chelating reagent and carbon source. The structure and electrochemical properties of the samples were investigated. The results show that LiFePO₄/C nanocomposite with oxalic acid (oxalic acid: Fe²⁺= 0.75:1) and a small quantity of citric acid are single phase and deliver initial discharge capacity of 122.1 mAh/g at 1 C with little capacity loss up to 500 cycles at room temperature. The rate capability and cyclability are also outstanding at elevated temperature. When charged/discharged at 60 °C, this materials present excellent initial discharge capacity of 148.8 mAh/g at 1 C, 128.6 mAh/g at 5 C, and 115.0 mAh/g at 10 C, respectively. The extraordinarily high performance of LiFePO₄/C cathode materials can be exploited suitably for practical lithium-ion batteries.     

Multiple reaction monitoring-based determination of bovine α-lactalbumin in infant formulas and whey protein concentrates by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry using tryptic signature peptides and synthetic peptide standards

The determination of α-lactalbumin in various dairy products attracts wide attention in multidiscipline fields because of its nutritional and biological functions. In the present study, we quantified the bovine α-lactalbumin in various infant formulas and whey protein concentrates using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometer in multiple reaction monitoring mode. Bovine α-lactalbumin was quantified by employing the synthetic internal standard based on the molar equivalent relationship among the internal standard, bovine α-lactalbumin and their signature peptides. This study especially focused on the recovery rates of the sample preparation procedure and robust quantification of total bovine α-lactalbumin in its native and thermally denatured form with a synthetic internal standard KILDKVGINNYWLAHKALCSE. The observed recovery rates of bovine α-lactalbumin ranged from 95.8 to 100.6% and the reproducibility was excellent (RSD < 6%) at different spiking levels. The limit of quantitation is 10 mg/100 g for infant formulas and whey protein concentrates. In order to validate the applicability of the method, 21 brands of infant formulas were analyzed. The acquired contents of bovine α-lactalbumin were 0.67–1.84 g/100 g in these infant formulas in agreement with their label claimed values. The experiment of heat treatment time showed that the loss of native α-lactalbumin enhanced with an increasing intensity of heat treatment. Comparing with Ren's previous method by analysis of only native bovine α-lactalbumin, the present method at the peptide level proved to be highly suitable for measuring bovine α-lactalbumin in infant formulas and whey protein concentrates, avoiding forgoing the thermally induced denatured α-lactalbumin caused by the technological processing.

蒙脱石-石墨-聚氯乙烯复合电极的研制

化学修饰电极自1975年正式问世以来^[1],经过多年的不断发展,现已出现了许多修饰方法^[2];如表面吸附法,聚合物薄膜法,共价键合法等。这些方法虽在一定程度上改善了修饰电极的表面结构,提高了电极的灵敏度和选择性,但由于此类修饰都是在电极表面附上一层修饰剂,容易因修饰层不牢而脱落,或修饰厚度不均匀而影响电极的性能,近年来出现了组合法制作碳糊电极^[3]及蒙脱石修饰碳糊电极^[4]的研究,但由于碳糊及其修饰电极存在电极表面柔软的缺点而使其生理性,稳定性欠佳,本文用聚氯乙烯作粘合剂,在其融状态下,将石墨和蒙脱石混合,加压,冷却制成复合电极,该复合电极用于苯酚测定时,表现出良好的稳定性,重现性和催化效果,并克服了蒙脱石修饰碳糊电极稳定性,重现性差的缺点。
