Simultaneous quantification of 17 trace elements in blood by dynamic reaction cell inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (DRC-ICP-MS) equipped with a high-efficiency sample introduction system

A quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (Q-ICP-MS) equipped with a dynamic reaction cell (DRC) and coupled with a desolvating nebulization system (APEX-IR) was employed to determine 17 elements (Al, As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, Sr, V, and Zr) in blood samples. Ammonia (for Al, Cr, Mn, and V) and O₂ (for As and Se) were used as reacting gases. Selection of the best flow rate of the gases and optimization of the quadrupole dynamic bandpass tuning parameter (RPq) were carried out, using digested blood diluted 1 + 9 with deionized water and spiked with 1 μg L⁻¹ of Al, Cr, Mn, V and 5 μg L⁻¹ of As and Se. Detection limits were determined in digested blood using the 3σ criterion. The desolvating system allowed a sufficient sensitivity to be achieved to determine elements at levels of ng L⁻¹ without detriment of signal stability. The accuracy of the method was tested with the whole blood certified reference material (CRM), certified for Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, and V, and with indicative values for Ba, Li, Sn, Sr, and Zr. The addition calibration approach was chosen for analysis. In order to confirm the DRC data, samples were also analyzed by means of sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SF-ICP-MS), operating in medium (m/Δm = 4000) and high (m/Δm = 10,000) resolution mode and achieving a good agreement between the two techniques.     

Thermodynamic properties of the gaseous barium silicates BaSiO2 and BaSiO3

In the present study, the stability of gaseous barium silicates was confirmed by the high temperature mass spectrometry. On the basis of equilibrium constants measured for gas-phase reactions, the standard formation enthalpies were determined for gaseous barium silicates as (−510 ± 15) kJ · mol⁻¹ and (−884 ± 18) kJ · mol⁻¹ at 298 K; standard atomization enthalpies as (1637 ± 17) kJ · mol⁻¹ and (2318 ± 20) kJ · mol⁻¹ at 298 K for BaSiO₂ and BaSiO₃, respectively. Based on the results obtained the critical analysis of the literature data was carried out.     

方酸染料在远红光区／近红外区对纳米晶二氧化钛电极的高效敏化作用

Four para-dialkylaminophenyl （PDAAP1-PDAAP4） bearing carboxyl groups were studied for application to the dye-sensitized solar cells （DSC）. It was found the short spacer CH2 between carboxyl and dialkylaminophenyl chromophore in PDAAP3 and PDAAP4 led to highly efficient monochromatic incident photon-to-current conversion efficiencies （IPCE）, however the long alkyl group C4H9 attached on aniline moieties in PDAAP2 and PDAAP4 favored improvement of open-circuit photovoltage. Thus, the solar cell sensitized by PDAAP4, having both short carboxyl groups CH2COOH and long alkyl groups C4H9, exhibited the IPCE maximum of 73% at 670 nm and overall energy conversion efficiency η of 3.06%, representing the highest IPCE and η values so far in dialkylaminophenyl-based organic dye-sensitized semiconductor solar cells. Taking advantage of the highly efficient sensitizing ability of PDAAP4 in far-red region, the data of IPCE above 630 nm of the solar cells were improved greatly by cosensitization with both N3 and PDAAP4. The influences of the TiO2 film thickness and the concentration of 4-tert-butylpyridine （TBP） in electrolyte were also investigated.
