Influence of annealing temperature on the formation, microstructure and magnetic properties of spinel nanocrystalline cobalt ferrites

Nanocrystalline cobalt ferrites were synthesized by a simple, general, one-step sol–gel auto-combustion method. An interpretation based on the measurement of the adiabatic flame temperature and the amounts of gas evolved during reaction had been proposed for the nature of combustion. The influence of annealing temperatures on the magnetic properties was investigated. The microstructure was characterized by means of X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the particle size and magnetic properties of the as-prepared ferrite samples showed strong dependence on the annealing temperature. The coercivity initially increased and then decreased with increasing annealing temperature whereas the particle size and saturation magnetization continuously increased.

Half‐sandwich Ruthenium (II) complexes with triphenylamine modified dipyridine skeleton and application in biology/luminescence imaging

Four half‐sandwich ruthenium^II (Ru^II) complexes with triphenylamine‐modifed dipyridine frameworks were synthesized and characterized. The cytotoxicity of target complexes toward A549 (lung cancer cells), HeLa (cervical cancer cells) and HepG2 (hepatoma cells) were obtained by the MTT assay, which were superior to cisplatin with the IC₅₀ values changed from 2.4 ± 0.1 μM to 9.2 ± 2.7 μM. Meanwhile, complexes possess the ability of antimetastasis to cancer cells. Ru^II complexes could be transported by serum albumin, catalyze the conversion of NADH (the reduced state of nicotinamide‐adenine dinucleotide) to NAD⁺ and induce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, which confirmed the antineoplastic mechanism of oxidation. Ru^II complexes could enter A549 cells followed by a non‐energy dependent cellular uptake mechanism, target lysosomes with the Pearson's colocalization coefficient of 0.75, lead to lysosomal damage, disturb the cell cycle (S phase), and eventually induce apoptosis. The results demonstrate that these Ru^II complexes are potential anticancer agents with dual functions, including metastasis inhibition and lysosomal damage.

Enhanced photoactivity of CdS nanorods by MXene and ZnSnO3: Application in photoelectrochemical biosensor for the effect of environmental pollutants on DNA hydroxymethylation in wheat tissues

The photoactivity of CdS nanorods was greatly improved by amino functionalized accordion-like MXene and spherical ZnSnO₃. MXene possesses good electron transfer capability and ZnSnO₃ presents matched energy band with CdS, which deeply accelerate the electron transfer and prevent the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pair, leading to a strong photoelectrochemical (PEC) response. Taking the merit of the improved photoactivity of CdS nanorods, a novel PEC biosensor was constructed for DNA hydromethylation detection based on immune recognition of target molecule, where 5-hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxycytidine triphosphate (5hmdCTP) was employed as detect target, CdS/MXene was used as photoactive material, and ZnSnO₃ was adopted as signal amplification unit. Under enzymatic covalent reaction of –CH₂OH of 5hmdCTP with –NH₂ of MXene, 5hmdCTP was specifically recognized and captured. Then, taking advantages of the covalent reaction between phosphate group of 5hmdCTP and ZnSnO₃, the signal amplification unit was captured. Under the optimum conditions, this PEC biosensor presents wide linear range of 0.008–100 nM and low detection limit of 4.21 pM (3σ). The applicability of the developed method was evaluated by investigating the effect of Cd²⁺ and perfluorohexane compound pollutant on 5-hydroxymethylcytosine content in the genomic DNA of the roots and leaves of wheat seedlings.

Surface modification of MCM-41 and its application in DNA adsorption

Three types of MCM-41 absorbents, namely, Al~(3+)–MCM-41, La~(3+)–MCM-41, and Zn~(2+)–MCM-41, were prepared through amine grafting, phosphonate modification, and metal ion chelation and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and N2adsorption–desorption analysis. Results revealed that functionalized MCM-41 maintains the original structure of the molecular sieve and that the pore diameter and surface area are reduced compared with those of pure MCM-41. The adsorption behavior of DNA molecules on the surface of the modified molecular sieves was discussed according to the hard-soft acid–base(HSAB) principle. Experimental results showed that DNA purification could be effectively carried out on functionalized MCM-41 and that DNA is easily released by3–4 molL~(-1)NaCl solution. This study could be used as a general platform for future work on DNA adsorption and enrichment.     

Skeletal Ni Catalysts Prepared from Amorphous Ni–Zr Alloys: Enhanced Catalytic Performance for Hydrogen Generation from Ammonia Borane

Skeletal Ni catalysts were prepared from Ni–Zr alloys, which possess different chemical composition and atomic arrangements, by a combination of thermal treatment and treatment with aqueous HF. Hydrogen generation from ammonia borane over the skeletal Ni catalysts proceeded efficiently, whereas the amorphous Ni–Zr alloy was inactive. Skeletal Ni prepared from amorphous Ni₃₀Zr₇₀ alloy had a higher catalytic activity than that prepared from amorphous Ni₄₀Zr₆₀ and Ni₅₀Zr₅₀ alloys. The atomic arrangement of the Ni–Zr alloy also strongly affected the surface structure and catalytic activities. Thermal treatment of the amorphous Ni–Zr alloys at a temperature slightly lower than the crystallization temperature led to an increase of the number of surface‐exposed Ni atoms and an enhancement of the catalytic activities for hydrogen generation from ammonia borane. The skeletal Ni catalysts also showed excellent durability and recyclability.
