Synthesis of Z-scheme g-C3N4 nanosheets/Ag3PO4 photocatalysts with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic performance for the degradation of tetracycline and dye

Graphene-like C3N4/Ag3PO4 photocatalysts are synthesized by calcination and solutions precipitating method.The obtained g-C3N4/Ag3PO4 composites display excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene orange(MO),rhodamine B(RhB)and tetracycline(TC)under visible light irradiation.The solutions containing RhB(10 mg/L)and MO(10 mg/L)can be efficiently degraded within15 min and 30 min.Especially,nearly 80%of TC(50 mg/L)is degraded within 20 min.which are much better than those of pure g-C3N4 nanosheets and Ag3PO4,implying that strong interaction and reasonable energy band alignment in the contact interface can effectively transfer the carries.Furthermore,the g-C3N4/Ag3PO4 composites exhibit the improved stability,and only a slight decrease is observed after three recycling runs.Moreover,the impact of inorganic ions and PH values on the degradation performance is rather small.The Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism of the g-C3N4/Ag3PO4 composites based on the active species trapping experimental is proposed.This work demonstrates the promising applications of the g-C3N4/Ag3PO4 composites in environmental issues.     

Enhanced TE properties of Cu@Ag/Bi2Te3 nanocomposites by decoupling electrical and thermal properties

Cu@Ag/Bi2Te3 nanocomposites were prepared for the first time by ultrasonic dispersion-rapid freezedrying method combined with spark plasma sintering(SPS).By changing the content of Cu@Ag nanoparticle,we could modulate the temperature dependent thermoelectric properties.The highest ZT value can be obtained at 450 K for 1 vol%Cu@Ag/Bi2Te3,which is benefited from the decoupling of electrical and thermal properties.With the increase of electrical conductivity,the absolute value of Seebeck coefficient lifts while the thermal conductivity declines.Meanwhile,the average ZT value between 300 K and 475 K was 0.61 for 1 vol%Cu@Ag/Bi2Te3,which is much higher than that of pristine Bi2 Te3.Therefore,the decoupling effect of Cu@Ag nanoparticles incorporation could be a promising method to broaden the application of Bi2Te3 based thermoelectric materials.     

CdTe/Mn3 O4/SiO2荧光/磁共振双模成像纳米球的制备与表征

成功地制备了CdTe/Mn_3O_4/SiO_2核壳结构的荧光/磁共振成像双功能纳米球,并用透射电镜(TEM)、能谱分析(EDXA)、磁共振成像(MRI)、红外、荧光光谱等对其结构、磁共振成像和发光性能进行了表征。TEM照片显示所合成的纳米球具有明显的球形核壳结构。EDXA分析显示所制备的CdTe/Mn_3O_4/SiO_2纳米球表面只检测到Si和O元素,证明CdTe量子点和Mn_3O_4纳米立方体被成功地包被于二氧化硅纳米球之内。荧光发射光谱显示相对于CdTe量子点,CdTe/Mn_3O_4/SiO_2纳米球荧光发射光谱虽然发生了一定的蓝移,但是仍具有良好的荧光性能。MRI分析可知CdTe/Mn_3O_4/SiO_2纳米球的弛豫参数(r_1)为3.88 s~(-1)(mg·L~(-1))~(-1),说明所合成的CdTe/Mn_3O_4/SiO_2纳米球可用于T_1-加权磁共振成像。细胞毒性实验表明,当CdTe/Mn_3O_4/SiO_2溶液浓度达到300μg·mL~(-1)时,细胞活力仍可达到90%以上,表明此浓度对细胞的毒性作用较弱。

Predictable site-selective radical fluorination of tertiary ethers

In this communication,we disclose the first example of metal-free and site-selective radical fluorination of readily available tertiary alkyl ethers,enabled by synergistic photocatalysis and organocatalysis.This catalytic combination allows for exclusive fluorination of tertiary C–O bonds under mild conditions even in the presence of competing reaction sites.The excellent functional group tolerance affords valuable access to sterically hindered alkyl fluorides through late-stage modification of complex molecules.The successful use of tertiary alkyl ethers in radical fluorination enhances the structural diversity of aliphatic fluorides that can be derived from naturally abundant alcohols.
