Catalytic combustion of ethyl acetate over CeMnO_x and CeMnZrO_x compounds synthesized by coprecipitation method

Ce0.6Mn0.4O2 catalysts with different sources of manganese and Ce0.6-xZrxMn0.4O2 mixed oxide catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation method and were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption,TPR,XRD,and XPS techniques.The activities of the prepared catalysts for ethyl acetate combustion,and the effects of calcination temperature and space velocity on catalytic activity were investigated.The results showed that partial replacement of Mn(NO3)2 with KMnO4 as sources of manganese could improve activities of catalysts.Ce0.45Zr0.15Mn0.4O2 catalyst exhibited the best catalytic activity and high thermal stability,e.g.,T90 could be still below 210℃ even if space velocity was up to 20000h-1.     

Fabrication of Au-Pd core-shell heterostructures with systematic shape evolution using octahedral nanocrystal cores and their catalytic activity

By using octahedral gold nanocrystals with sizes of approximately 50 nm as the structure-directing cores for the overgrowth of Pd shells, Au-Pd core-shell heterostructures with systematic shape evolution can be directly synthesized. Core-shell octahedra, truncated octahedra, cuboctahedra, truncated cubes, and concave cubes were produced by progressively decreasing the amount of the gold nanocrystal solution introduced into the reaction mixture containing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), H(2)PdCl(4), and ascorbic acid. The core-shell structure and composition of these nanocrystals has been confirmed. Only the concave cubes are bounded by a variety of high-index facets. This may be a manifestation of the release of lattice strain with their thick shells at the corners. Formation of the [CTA](2)[PdBr(4)] complex species has been identified spectroscopically. Time-dependent UV-vis absorption spectra showed faster Pd source consumption rates in the growth of truncated cubes and concave cubes, while a much slower reduction rate was observed in the generation of octahedra. The concave cubes and octahedra were used as catalysts for a Suzuki coupling reaction. They can all serve as effective and recyclable catalysts, but the concave cubes gave higher product yields with a shorter reaction time attributed to their high-index surface facets. The concave cubes can also catalyze a wide range of Suzuki coupling reactions using aryl iodides and arylboronic acids with electron-donating and -withdrawing substituents.     

Immunomodulatory activity of polysaccharide-protein complex of longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) pulp

The immunomodulatory function of longan pulp polysaccharide-protein complex (LP3) was investigated in immunosuppressed mice models. Compared with the model control, peroral administration of 100 mgkg?1d?1 LP3 could significantly increase/enhance antibody production against chicken red blood cell (CRBC), concanavalin A (ConA)-induced splenocyte proliferation, macrophage phagocytosis, NK cell cytotoxicity against YAC-1 lymphoma cell, and interferon-gamma (INF-γ) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) secretion in serum (P < 0.05). The immunomodulatory effects, except for those on splenocytes and macrophages (P > 0.05), were also observed in mice administered with 50 or 200 mgkg?1d?1 LP3 (P < 0.05). The beneficial effects of 50-200 mgkg?1d?1 LP3 were comparable to those of 50 mgkg?1d?1 ganoderan. The strong immunomodulatory activity of LP3 confirmed its good potential as an immunotherapeutic adjuvant.     

Continuous-time photon-stimulated desorption spectroscopy studies on soft x-ray-induced reactions of CF3Br adsorbed on Si(111)-7×7

Continuous-time core-level photon-stimulated desorption (PSD) spectroscopy was used to study the soft x-ray-induced reactions of CF(3)Br molecules adsorbed on Si(111)-7×7 near the Si(2p) edge (98-110 eV). The monochromatic synchrotron radiation was employed as a soft x-ray light source in the photon-induced reactions and also as a probe for investigating the produced fluorination states of the bonding surface Si atom in the positive-ion PSD spectroscopy. Several different surface coverages were investigated. The PSD spectra from the low-CF(3)Br-covered surfaces show the production of surface SiF species, while those from the high-CF(3)Br-covered surfaces depict the formation of surface SiF, SiF(2), and SiF(3) species. The photolysis cross section of the submonolayer CF(3)Br-covered surface is determined as ～4.3×10(-18) cm(2). A comparison with the results on CF(3)Cl/Si(111)-7×7 surface is discussed.     

PtCeOx/C as a novel methanol-tolerant electrocatalyst of oxygen reduction for direct methanol fuel cells

A prominent methanol-tolerant characteristic of the PtCeO_x/C electrocatalyst was found during oxygen reduction reaction process. The carbon-supported platinum modified with cerium oxide (PtCeO_x/C) as cathode electrocatalyst for direct methanol fuel cells was prepared via a simple and effective route. The synthesized electrocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the cerium oxide within PtCeO_x/C present in an amorphous form on the carbon support surface and the PtCeO_x/C possesses almost similar disordered morphological structure and slightly smaller particle size compared with the unmodified Pt/C catalyst.     

Chiral separation of raltitrexed by cyclodextrin-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography

A rapid and effective method was developed for the chiral separation of raltitrexed (RD) enantiomers by carboxymethyl-beta-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD)-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). Optimization of conditions including the type and concentration of the chiral selector, concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), pH and concentration of the background electrolyte (BGE), capillary temperature, and applied voltage was investigated. The enantiomers of raltitrexed could be separated with satisfactory resolution and linear response by using 75 mM Tris-phosphate at pH 8.0 containing 30 mM SDS and 8 mM CM-β-CD as buffer system. Furthermore, the usefulness of this method was demonstrated in a purity test of a real synthetic drug sample. Figure Chiral separation of raltitrexed by CM-β-CD MEKC was optimized and applied to test the purity of a synthetic drug sample

Improved cellular response on multiwalled carbon nanotube-incorporated electrospun polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan nanofibrous scaffolds

We report the fabrication of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-incorporated electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/chitosan (CS) nanofibers with improved cellular response for potential tissue engineering applications. In this study, smooth and uniform PVA/CS and PVA/CS/MWCNTs nanofibers with water stability were formed by electrospinning, followed by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde vapor. The morphology, structure, and mechanical properties of the formed electrospun fibrous mats were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and mechanical testing, respectively. We showed that the incorporation of MWCNTs did not appreciably affect the morphology of the PVA/CS nanofibers; importantly the protein adsorption ability of the nanofibers was significantly improved. In vitro cell culture of mouse fibroblasts (L929) seeded onto the electrospun scaffolds showed that the incorporation of MWCNTs into the PVA/CS nanofibers significantly promoted cell proliferation. Results from this study hence suggest that MWCNT-incorporated PVA/CS nanofibrous scaffolds with small diameters (around 160 nm) and high porosity can mimic the natural extracellular matrix well, and potentially provide many possibilities for applications in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.     

Non-isothermal kinetics of thermal decomposition of NH<Subscript>4</Subscript>ZrH(PO<Subscript>4</Subscript>)<Subscript>2</Subscript>·H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O

Nanocrystalline NH₄ZrH(PO₄)₂·H₂O was synthesized by solid-state reaction at low heat using ZrOCl₂·8H₂O and (NH₄)₂HPO₄ as raw materials. X-ray powder diffraction analysis showed that NH₄ZrH(PO₄)₂·H₂O was a layered compound with an interlayer distance of 1.148 nm. The thermal decomposition of NH₄ZrH(PO₄)₂·H₂O experienced four steps, which involves the dehydration of the crystal water molecule, deamination, intramolecular dehydration of the protonated phosphate groups, and the formation of orthorhombic ZrP₂O₇. In the DTA curve, the three endothermic peaks and an exothermic peak, respectively, corresponding to the first three steps' mass losses of NH₄ZrH(PO₄)₂·H₂O and crystallization of ZrP₂O₇ were observed. Based on Flynn–Wall–Ozawa equation and Kissinger equation, the average values of the activation energies associated with the NH₄ZrH(PO₄)₂·H₂O thermal decomposition and crystallization of ZrP₂O₇ were determined to be 56.720 ± 13.1, 106.55 ± 6.28, 129.25 ± 4.32, and 521.90 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. Dehydration of the crystal water of NH₄ZrH(PO₄)₂·H₂O could be due to multi-step reaction mechanisms: deamination of NH₄ZrH(PO₄)₂ and intramolecular dehydration of the protonated phosphate groups from Zr(HPO₄)₂ are simple reaction mechanisms.
