Built-in piezoelectric field improved photocatalytic performance of nanoflower-like Bi2WO6 using low-power white LEDs

Photocatalysis technology has been proved to be a potential strategy for removal of organic dyes, however high-power light sources are generally necessary to initiate photocatalytic reaction. In this work, we employed an excellent photocatalyst of Bi₂WO₆ with visible light harvest and meanwhile an intrinsic ferroelectricity, which realized the efficient degradation of organic dye via the synergetic photopiezocatalysis. Through coupling the illumination by a low-power (9 W) LED and the ultrasonic vibration (120 W) by an ultrasonic cleaner, the nanoflower-like Bi₂WO₆ composed of ultrathin nanosheets showed a much more enhanced photopiezocatalysis performance for purification of organic dye than the individual photocatalysis and piezocatalysis. Furthermore, the high mineralization efficiency and the good durability of the Bi₂WO₆ catalyst were demonstrated. The possible mechanism of photopiezocatalysis was finally proposed, where the ultrasound-induced piezoelectric field in Bi₂WO₆ drove photo-generated electrons and holes to diffuse along opposite directions, consequently promoting the separation efficiency of charge carriers. This work indicates that the synergetic photopiezocatalysis by coupling irradiation and ultrasonic vibration is a promising strategy to purify organic pollutants in wastewater.

Molecular Mechanism Study on Effect of Biodegradable Amino Acid Ester–Substituted Polyphosphazenes in Stimulating Osteogenic Differentiation

Amino acid ester substituted polyphosphazenes are osteoactive benefiting from their phosphorus‐containing chemical structure, which highlights interests in bone tissue engineering. To correlate their chemical structures with cell activities, in this study, poly[(ethyl alanato)_0.3(ethyl glycinato)_0.7phosphazene] (PAGP) and poly[(ethyl phenylalanato)_0.3(ethyl glycinato)_0.7phosphazene] (PPGP) are synthesized to carry out studies on cell osteogenic differentiation. In the non‐contact culture manner, bone mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) are cultured in transwell chambers containing PAGP or PPGP films, while the cells and the materials do not contact. In the contact culture manner, BMSCs are cultured on the PAGP or PPGP films. In the meantime, solutions containing PAGP or PPGP degradation products (i.e., phosphate, ammonium, and corresponding amino acids) are applied for cell culture using inorganic phosphate (Pi) ion as control. Thus, the influences from substrate surface and degradation products can be identified separately. The results reveal that both the phosphorus‐containing surface of PAGP and PPGP films and their degradation products play significant roles in regulating cell behaviors. In comparison with PAGP, PPGP seems able to provide relatively stable phosphorus‐containing surface to strengthen the cell‐scaffold interaction because of its slower degradation rate and higher Young's modulus, leading to greater promotion in osteogenic differentiation via contact effect.     

Relation between sers intensity and electronic structures for a series of compounds C6H5(CH2)n COOH (n = 0, 1, 2)

In this paper, the SERS spectra of a series of compounds C₆H₅(CH₂)_nCOOH (n = 0, 1, 2) adsorbed on colloidal silver are recorded and compared with each other. The relation between the SERS intensities and the electronic structures of the compounds are discussed. The results support the molecular enhancement mechanism on SERS, especially the charge transfer idea.
