气相色谱-负化学源质谱法测定船舶压载水中4种三卤甲烷北大核心CSCD

我国每年的船舶压载水排放量巨大,压载水中含有浮游生物、病原体及其幼虫或孢子等,若处理不当,会对排放水域的生态环境造成严重影响。排放压载水前常使用电解法对其进行处理,电解产生的次氯酸钠溶液,能有效杀灭残余的微生物。但电解后会产生副产物三卤甲烷(THMs),其对人体有一定的健康风险,建立船舶压载水中三卤甲烷的测定方法具有重要意义。该研究建立了采用气相色谱-负化学源质谱(GC-NCI-MS)测定船舶压载水中4种三卤甲烷(包括三氯甲烷、二氯一溴甲烷、一氯二溴甲烷、三溴甲烷)的分析方法。船舶压载水样品经过顶空进样技术处理后,通过DB-5MS UI毛细管色谱柱(30 m×0.25 mm×1.0μm)分离,气相色谱-负化学源质谱仪测定,在选择离子扫描(SIM)模式下分析,采用外标法进行定量。4种三卤甲烷在0.2~50μg/L范围内线性关系良好,相关系数(r)≥0.995,定量限(S/N=10)为0.1~0.2μg/L,在0.2、0.5、2.0μg/L 3个加标水平下,4种THMs的平均回收率为90.3%~106.8%,相对标准偏差(RSD)为1.4%~6.2%。该方法准确、稳定、可靠,可用于测定船舶压载水中4种THMs的含量。使用建立的测定方法对36个船舶压载水进行测定,三溴甲烷、二溴一氯甲烷、一溴二氯甲烷与三氯甲烷的检出率分别为83.3%、69.4%、22.2%和19.4%,检出值分别为34.25~221.5μg/L、3.52~41.87μg/L、1.52~8.56μg/L和0.02~5.46μg/L。     

Acidity Modification of ZSM-5 for Methane Conversion in Co-feeding Method with MTA Reaction

Acidity plays a vital role in methane conversion by co-feeding method, which is one of the best strategies to improve the utilization and gentle the reaction conditions of methane. In this work, Zn, Ni, Mo, La, Ga, Fe and Co-impregnated ZSM-5 zeolites have been prepared with the same substitutions to variate the acidities and tested in co-aromatization of methanol with methane. It is demonstrated that the new medium-strong acid sites formed by metal and strong acid sites are the key role to activate methane in co-reaction. Zn-modified ZSM-5 catalyst is preferred to exhibit the best methane conversion of 12%, whose aromatic selectivity increases from 27.2% to 52.2% compared with that of HZSM-5. Besides, the addition of methane further improves the production of high-valued aromatics compared with methanol to aromatics (MTA) reaction.     

In vivo Toxicity Evaluation of a Nano-drug Delivery System Using a Caenorhabditis elegansModel System

Drug carrier materials need to possess good biological safety. Presently, most biosafety evaluation studies use rodent animal models, including rats and rabbits. However, the cost of raising these animals is relatively high and the experimental period is long. Caenorhabditis elegans(C. elegans) presents an ideal toxicological evaluation model due to its simple structure, easy cultivation, short life cycle, and evolutionary conservation. In this paper, we used C. elegans to test the biological safety of our pH-responsive carrier system(FFPFF self-assembling into a nanosphere structure, FFPFF Nps), which was designed for anti-tumor drug delivery. Our results showed that exposure to high doses of FFPFF Nps did not have a significant impact on the survival rate, growth, development, movement, and reproduction of C. elegans. The preliminary evaluation of the overall biological model of C. elegans shows that FFPFF Nps has good biological safety and warrants further study.     

A Nitrogen,Sulfur co-Doped Porphyrin-based Covalent Organic Framework as an Efficient Catalyst for Oxygen Reduction

Oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) is a significant reaction for energy conversion systems(such as fuel cells, metal-air batteries, etc.). It is an urgent need to develop cheap, durable and highly-active catalysts for efficient ORR. Hence, we report a metal-free nitrogen and sulfur co-doped porphyrin-based covalent organic framework(COF) as a high-efficiency ORR catalyst[the onset potential(E_o) is 0.79 V and the half-wave potential(E_1/2) is 0.70 V]. The double doping of N and S atoms causes uneven charge distribution around carbon atoms, which can act as catalytic active centers, improving ORR activity. Compared with single-atom doping, double atoms doping exhibits a higher activity due to the synergistic effect between different elements. These results demonstrate that reasonable design of stable metal-free COFs with a high electrochemical activity can promote their wide applications.     

Removal of Anionic Dyes from Aqueous Solution with Layered Cationic Aluminum Oxyhydroxide

It is highly desired yet challenged to find an adsorbent with low cost and excellent performance in the removal of organic dyes from aqueous solution. Here we reported that a layered cationic aluminum oxyhydroxide material hydrothermally synthesized from the low-cost source materials of AlCl₃∙6H₂O, CaO and H₂O, known as JU-111, can meet such criterion in removing methyl orange(MO) and Congo red(CR). JU-111 shows fast adsorption kinetics[especially for CR(15 s)] and high adsorption capacity(MO:>1000 mg/g; CR:>2900 mg/g), surpassing most of the reported adsorbents. Comprehensive characterizations of the adsorption process of MO and CR revealed that both adsorptions were achieved via the anion exchange process. The characteristics of extremely low cost and excellent performance render JU-111 great potential in the practical applications in the removal of anionic dyes.     

Single-atom Fe Embedded Co3S4 for Efficient Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Constructing atomically dispersed active sites with densely exposed and dispersed double metal-S_x catalytic sites for favorable OER catalytic activity remains rare and challenging. Herein, we design and construct a Fe₁S_x@Co₃S₄ electrocatalyst with Fe single atoms epitaxially confined in Co₃S₄ nanosheets for catalyzing the sluggish alkaline oxygen evolution reaction(OER). Consequently, in ultralow concentration alkaline solutions(0.1 mol/L KOH), such a catalyst is highly active and robust for OER with low overpotentials of 300 and 333 mV at current densities of 10 and 30 mA/cm², respectively, accompanying long-term stability without significant degradation even for 350 h. In addition, Fe₁S_x@Co₃S₄ shows a turnover frequency(TOF) value of 0.18 s⁻¹, nearly three times that of Co₃S₄(0.07 s⁻¹), suggesting the higher atomic utilization of Fe single atoms. Mössbauer and in-situ Raman spectra confirm that the OER activity of Fe₁S_x@Co₃S₄ origins from a thin catalytic layer of Co(Fe)OOH that interacts with trace-level Fe species in the electrolyte, creating dynamically stable active sites. Combined with experimental characterizations, it suggests that the most active S-coordinated dual-metal site configurations are 2S-bridged (Fe-Co)S₄, in which Co-S and Fe-S moieties are shared with two S atoms, which can strongly regulate the adsorption energy of reaction intermediates, accelerating the OER reaction kinetics.     

卟啉-硫醚基共价有机框架材料用于氧还原反应电催化剂

氧还原反应（ORR）是能进行能量存储的核心电化学过程。由于它的动力学速率缓慢,因此亟需制备出高活性的电催化剂来促进这一反应的速率。二维共价有机框架材料（2D COFs）的π-π堆积结构可赋予骨架高导电率,并且一维有序的孔道有利于促进中间反应体传输。因此,其在可再生能源领域中具有良好的应用前景,并有望作为能量存储与转化的强大催化平台。本文通过向2D COFs中引入金属卟啉单元及硫醚单元成功制备了两个2D COFs （JUC-600和JUC-601）。通过多种表征手段证明,这两个2D COFs均具有AA堆积的sql拓扑结构。通过电化学测试表明,Co²⁺配位的JUC-601具有更正的ORR起始电势（0.825 V）和半波电势（0.7 V）、更高的活性表面积（7.8 mF/cm²）,更低的Tafel斜率（58 mV/dec）。这主要是由于JUC-601的高比表面积和高孔隙率使得中间产物能更易在COFs的表面和孔道中接触和传输。此外,Co²⁺-卟啉单元以及硫醚单元的存在使其骨架整体的电子结构发生了变化,更有利于电子转移。这一工作不仅开发了新的二维卟啉-硫醚基COFs材料,同时也拓展了2D COFs材料在电催化领域的应用。     

电化学还原二氧化碳合成碳材料电催化还原氧气合成过氧化氢北大核心CSCD

研究了3种不同阳极(铜丝,镀锌铁丝和镍丝)材料对在熔盐中电化学还原CO_(2)制备的碳材料结构和形貌的影响,并探究了制备的3种碳材料,中空四面体碳(HQC,Cu作为阳极时的还原产物)、碳纳米片(CNS,Fe作为阳极时的还原产物)和海绵状多孔碳(SPC,Ni作为阳极时的还原产物),对2电子氧还原反应(2e;ORR)的电催化性能。研究表明,使用镀锌铁丝作为阳极材料制备的CNS由大量的碳纳米片构成,且该纳米片上具有丰富的孔洞结构以及较大的I_(D)/I_(C)(Raman光谱中D峰与G峰的强度之比,其比值反映材料的缺陷程度)值(0.996)。与HQC和SPC相比,CNS表现出最高的2e;ORR电催化活性和H_(2)O_(2)选择性(接近90%)。CNS的高活性和高选择性归因于其高的I_(D)/I_(C)值和高C—O/C=O比值,说明结构缺陷和C—O/C=O官能团对CNS催化性能至关重要。此外,CNS还具有非常优异的电催化稳定性,在长达14 h的恒电压电化学催化测试后,环电流几乎无衰减。这种以CO_(2)为碳源合成可用于电催化合成过氧化氢(H_(2)O_(2))的碳材料的方法,不仅可以作为缓解温室效应的潜在选项,也为CO_(2)衍生碳的实际应用提供了新的思路。     

黏惰化及酸敏感修饰对纳米粒子黏膜穿透的影响

使用纳米粒子进行疾病的诊断和治疗是当前研究的一个热点. 由于受到黏液层的阻碍, 纳米粒子对于黏膜上皮细胞的进入效果不佳, 从而限制了其对黏膜相关疾病的诊断和治疗. 本文设计合成了一种具有黏惰性的酸敏感纳米粒子(MSNs-pCBMA-DMMA), 可有效穿透黏液层进入黏膜上皮细胞. 首先采用溶胶-凝胶法合成了表面氨基化的介孔二氧化硅纳米粒子(MSNs-NH₂), 然后通过原子转移自由基聚合法(ATRP)使两性离子羧基甜菜碱甲基丙烯酸酯(CBMA)在MSNs-NH₂表面上聚合形成聚羧基甜菜碱甲基丙烯酸酯(pCBMA), 获得惰性化的粒子(MSNs-pCBMA), 最后将酸响应性分子2,3-二甲基马来酸酐(DMMA)修饰于MSNs-pCBMA表面, 制备了MSNs-pCBMA-DMMA. 场发射透射电子显微镜(TEM)、 傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、 氢核磁共振波谱(¹H NMR)和纳米粒度Zeta电位测定仪等分析结果表明, 本文合成了MSNs-pCBMA-DMMA, 且粒子表面电位随pH值降低显著增加, 在pH=7.4~5.7范围内具有酸敏感能力. Transwell^?小室实验表明, pCBMA的接枝提高了粒子在模拟黏液中的渗透速率, 而DMMA的修饰则进一步增强了粒子的扩散能力, 4 h内MSNs-pCBMA-DMMA的模拟黏液渗透率达到16.3%, 为MSNs-pCBMA的1.9倍, MSNs-NH₂的3倍, 而以MSNs-NH₂的表观渗透系数（P_app）为标准计算得到的MSNs-pCBMA-DMMA的相对表观渗透系数达到了2.96. 细胞毒性试验验证MSNs-pCBMA-DMMA粒子的生物安全性良好. 细胞摄取试验表明, 相比于其它粒子MSNs-pCBMA-DMMA能够更快的被黏膜上皮细胞摄取. 本文所构建的纳米粒子能够快速渗透黏液且易于被黏膜上皮细胞摄取, 为其应用于黏膜相关疾病的活体诊断和治疗提供了基础.
