新型溶胶-凝胶离子液体固相微萃取探头的研制

以1-羟乙基-3-甲基咪唑四氟硼酸(HEMIM[BF4])和1-羟乙基-3-甲基咪唑双三氟甲磺酰亚胺(HEMIM-[N(SO2CF3)2])离子液体为涂层材料,采用溶胶-凝胶方法制备了两种新型的离子液体-羟基硅油(OH-TSO)复合涂层固相微萃取探头,并对溶胶-凝胶反应机理和涂层性能进行了考察.由于阴离子结构不同,两种离子液体-OH-TSO复合涂层的性能也存在一定差异.首先,从表面形貌来看,HEMIM[BF4]-OH-TSO涂层表面孔洞排列更整齐,孔径更小,且大小均一.从热重分析结果来看,HEMIM[N(SO2CF3)2]-OH-TSO涂层具有更高的热稳定性,最高使用温度可以达到360℃.从萃取性能来看,HEMIM[BF4]-OH-TSO涂层对大多数酚类环境雌激素和芳胺的萃取效果明显高于HEMIM[N-(SO2CF3)2]-OH-TSO和未加离子液体的OH-TSO涂层.除此之外,它们还具有较强的抗溶剂冲洗能力,pH应用范围广,重现性好.以HEMIM[N(SO2CF3)2]-OH-TSO涂层为萃取头,采用固相微萃取-气相色谱法测定了实际水体中的芳胺.结果表明,该方法检测限低(6.3～201.3ng/L),线性范围宽(3～4个数量级),重现性好(RSD7%),准确度高(回收率87.4%～111.5%).     

Analysis of fatty acids in lung tissues using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry preceded by derivatization-solid-phase microextraction with a novel fiber

In this article, a laboratory-made sol-gel derived fiber with butyl methacrylate/hydroxy-terminated silicone oil (BMA/OH-TSO) coating was first used for headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) of medium and long chain fatty acids after derivatization and applied to the analysis of fatty acids in lung tissues by coupling to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The experimental parameters for derivatization, HS-SPME and desorption were optimized. Fatty acids in cancerous lung tissues from five patients with lung cancer were determined under the optimized conditions. Normal lung tissues from the same five patients were used as controls. This fiber showed higher extraction efficiency for fatty acids after derivatization when compared with commercial polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fibers due to the three-dimensional network in the coating. The method presented in this paper showed satisfactory precision, accuracy, linearity and limits of detection (LODs). The relative standard deviation values were below 13.3% (n = 5) and the recoveries obtained ranged from 76.35% to 107.0%. The results obtained using the SPME method were also compared with those got by using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) technique. It was found that the sensitivity could be enhanced by the SPME method. The analysis of the cancerous lung tissues and normal controls from five patients with lung cancer indicated that the main components of lung tissue were palmitic acid (C_16:0), stearic acid (C_18:0) and lignoceric acid (C_24:0). A comparison between the levels of the fatty acids in cancerous lung tissues and normal controls from the same a patient with lung cancer shows that most of the saturated fatty acids showed higher levels in cancerous lung tissues, while unsaturated fatty acids showed higher levels in normal controls on the whole.     

Magnetohydrodynamic Interface-Rearranged Lithium Ions Distribution for Uniform Lithium Deposition and Stable Lithium Metal Anode

Uneven lithium (Li) electrodeposition hinders the wide application of high-energy-density Li metal batteries (LMBs). Current efforts mainly focus on the side-reaction suppression between Li and electrolyte, neglecting the determinant factor of mass transport in affecting Li deposition. Herein, guided Li⁺ mass transport under the action of a local electric field near magnetic nanoparticles or structures at the Li metal interface, known as the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect, are proposed to promote uniform Li deposition. The modified Li⁺ trajectories are revealed by COMSOL Multiphysics simulations, and verified by the compact and disc-like Li depositions on a model Fe₃O₄ substrate. Furthermore, a patterned mesh with the magnetic Fe−Cr₂O₃ core-shell skeleton is used as a facile and efficient protective structure for Li metal anodes, enabling Li metal batteries to achieve a Coulombic efficiency of 99.5 % over 300 cycles at a high cathode loading of 5.0 mAh cm⁻². The Li protection strategy based on the MHD interface design might open a new opportunity to develop high-energy-density LMBs.     

Strong and Robust Polyaniline‐Based Supramolecular Hydrogels for Flexible Supercapacitors

We report a supramolecular strategy to prepare conductive hydrogels with outstanding mechanical and electrochemical properties, which are utilized for flexible solid‐state supercapacitors (SCs) with high performance. The supramolecular assembly of polyaniline and polyvinyl alcohol through dynamic boronate bond yields the polyaniline–polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel (PPH), which shows remarkable tensile strength (5.3 MPa) and electrochemical capacitance (928 F g^?1). The flexible solid‐state supercapacitor based on PPH provides a large capacitance (306 mF cm^?2 and 153 F g^?1) and a high energy density of 13.6 Wh kg^?1, superior to other flexible supercapacitors. The robustness of the PPH‐based supercapacitor is demonstrated by the 100 % capacitance retention after 1000 mechanical folding cycles, and the 90 % capacitance retention after 1000 galvanostatic charge–discharge cycles. The high activity and robustness enable the PPH‐based supercapacitor as a promising power device for flexible electronics.

Twist sensor based on Sagnac single-mode optic fiber interferometer

An optical fiber twist sensor based on Sagnac single-mode optic fiber interferometer is proposed. The stress-induced birefringence of single-mode optical fiber is obtained by applying a transverse force against a short length of singlemode fiber. A high sensitivity and resolution of the twist angle measurement of 0.19 nm/° and 0.002° is achieved experimentally, respectively. The proposed sensor is more convenient and simple than that of standard polarization-maintaining fibers.

A comparative study on wear and friction characteristics of phenolic composite coatings filled with different morphologies ZnO

In this paper, different morphologies ZnO (disk‐like, rod‐like, and nanoparticles) were introduced into phenolic composite coatings to comparatively investigate the tribological properties. The structural and morphological characterization was conducted with Raman spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The tribological performances of composite coatings were evaluated using ring‐on‐block tester under dry condition at room temperature. Experimental results indicated that composite coatings filled with 1 wt% ZnO micro‐disks possessed the optimal tribological performances. It was attributed to the strong interfacial interaction between ZnO micro‐disks and phenolic matrix induced by their specific polar structure. Moreover, different loads and sliding speeds were employed to further evaluate the tribological performances of ZnO micro‐disks/phenolic composite coatings. The outcome revealed that ZnO micro‐disks were potential anti‐wear fillers under harsh condition.
