A novel 2,6-dicarbonylpyridine-based fluorescent chemosensor for Co2+ with high selectivity and sensitivity

A novel fluorescence chemosensor based on 2,6-dicarbonylpyridine was designed and synthesized and its photophysical properties were characterized. Upon coordination of Co(2+) by the central 2,6-dicarbonylpyridinyl functional group, the chemosensor 2,6-bis(4-diphenylamino-styrylcarbonyl)pyridine (PhPy) showed nearly complete fluorescence quenching, while no fluorescence response was seen towards other competing cations. The experimental results show the chemosensor is highly selective and sensitive towards Co(2+) in the presence of competing ions, even in the ppb range. Job plot analysis was carried out and the results suggested that the binding of PhPy and Co(2+) was probably a 2?:?1 stoichiometry.     

A Statistical Study of the Correlation between Geomagnetic Storms and M ≥ 7.0 Global Earthquakes during 1957–2020

In order to find out whether the geomagnetic storms and large-mega earthquakes are correlated or not, statistical studies based on Superposed Epoch Analysis (SEA), significance analysis, and Z test have been applied to the Dst index data and M ≥ 7.0 global earthquakes during 1957–2020. The results indicate that before M ≥ 7.0 global earthquakes, there are clearly higher probabilities of geomagnetic storms than after them. Geomagnetic storms are more likely to be related with shallow earthquakes rather than deep ones. Further statistical investigations of the results based on cumulative storm hours show consistency with those based on storm days, suggesting that the high probability of geomagnetic storms prior to large-mega earthquakes is significant and robust. Some possible mechanisms such as a reverse piezoelectric effect and/or electroosmotic flow are discussed to explain the statistical correlation. The result might open new perspectives in the complex process of earthquakes and the Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere (LAI) coupling.

冲击速度和轴向静载对红砂岩破碎及能耗的影响

地下岩体工程爆破开挖中,距爆源不同距离处岩体承受的地应力和动载荷大小不同,从动载荷的角度表征岩石动态破坏结果与工程实际更吻合。为研究动载荷和地应力大小对岩体破碎和能量耗散特性的影响,利用动静组合加载试验装置,分别设置7个冲击速度和轴向静应力等级,对红砂岩试件进行冲击试验。根据试件的破碎状况,分析不同静应力工况下冲击速度对岩石破坏模式和机理的影响。计算不同工况下的应力波能量值,研究冲击速度和轴向静应力对岩石能耗特性的影响。对破坏试件进行筛分试验,研究岩石破碎分形维数随冲击速度和轴向静应力的变化关系。结果表明,随着冲击速度的增大,试件的破坏程度逐渐加大。无轴压时岩石试件破坏后整体仍是一个圆柱体,属于张拉破坏;有轴压时岩石试件宏观破坏后呈沙漏状,属于拉剪破坏。岩石耗散能随冲击速度的升高呈二次函数关系递增;轴向静应力越高,递增幅度越小。随着冲击速度的升高,岩石分形维数由零逐渐增加;随着轴向静应力的升高,分形维数由零转为大于零的临界冲击速度先升高后降低。

Syntheses and characterizations of polypropene,polystyrene and their block copolymers with titanocene catalysts

Pentamethylcyclopentadienyltitanium tribenzyloxide, Cp^*Ti(OBz)₃, was used as the catalyst precursor for polymerizations of propene and styrene. The titanocene catalyst affords atactic polypropene and syndiotactic polystyrene with high activities in the presence of methylalumimoxane (MAO). Block copolymerization of propene and styrene was carried out in the presence of Cp^*Ti(OBz)₃/MAO catalyst system by the means of external addition of triisobutylaluminum (TIBA) and sequential monomer feed. The copolymerization product is mainly a mixture of atactic polypropene(aPP) and syndiotactic polystyrene(sPS) homopolymers and aPP-b-sPS block copolymers, which can be separated into fractions with successive extraction with boiling methylethyl ketone(MEK), heptane, tetrahydrofuran(THF), and chloroform. Studies on thermal properties showed that rubbery phases and crystalline regions both appear in the block copolymer at the room temperature and that aPP-b-sPS block copolymer has better toughness than sPS.     

Tagged molecule induced nanoparticle aggregation： Raman reporter-labeled immuno-Au aggregate as immuno-sensor

<正>A novel structure with high surface enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) activity and bio-specificity as a SERS-based immuno-sensor(named as Raman reporter-labeled immuno-Au aggregate) is demonstrated and employed for protein detection.In each fabrication process,the features of those aggregates are obtained and characterized by ultraviolet-visible(UV-Vis) extinction spectra,transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images,scanning electron microscopy(SEM) pictures,and SERS spectra.Experimental results indicate that proper amounts of the reporter molecules can result in the moderate aggregation morphologies of gold nanoparticles.Compared with the previously reported method using Raman reporterlabeled immuno-Au nanoparticles,more sensitive SERS-based protein detection is realized with this novel immuno-sensor.     

Plasma assisted synthesis of LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathode materials with good cyclic stability at subzero temperatures

Layered Ni-rich cathode materials,LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂(NCM622),are synthesized via solid reaction assisted with a plasma milling pretreatment,which is resulted in lowering sintering temperatures for solid precursors.The plasma milling pretreated NCM622 cathode material sintered at 780℃(named as PM-780)demonstrates good cycling stability at both room and subzero temperatures.Specifically,the PM-780 cathode delivers an initial discharge capacity of 171.2 mAh g^-1 and a high capacity retention of 99.7%after 300 cycles with current rate of 90 mA g^-1 at 30℃,while stable capacities of 120.3 and 94.0 m Ah g^-1 can be remained at-10℃and-20℃in propylene carbonate contained electrolyte,respectively.In-situ XRD together with XPS and SEM reveal that the NCM622 cycled at-10℃presented better structural stability and more intact interface than that of cathodes cycled at 30℃.It is also found that subzero temperatures only limit the discharge potential of NCM622 without destroying its structure during cycling since it still exhibits high discharge capacity at 30℃after cycled at subzero temperatures.This work may expand the knowledge about the low-temperature characteristics of layered cathode materials for Li-ion batteries and lay the foundation for its further applications.
