Carbon Isotope Analysis in Urea at High 13C-Abundances Using the 13/12CO2-Breath Test Device Fanci2

Abstract

The increasing application of ¹³C-labelled urea in medicine requires simple and reasonable methods for measuring highly enriched ¹³C in urea. The combination: ultimate organic analysis—mass spectrometry so far prescribed is complicated and expensive. For medical diagnosis, however, isotope selective nondispersive infrared spectrometers (NDIRS) have been available for many years. One of these tools is FANci2 which is very reasonable and easily to be operated. By means of such devices also urea highly enriched in ¹³C can be analysed, provided that the samples are first diluted with a defined amount of urea of natural isotopic composition and then transformed into carbon dioxide by means of urease. The relative abundance of ¹³C in this carbon dioxide, measured by nondispersive infrared spectrometry, is then a measure of the ¹³C abundance in the initial urea sample. Comparison of results of such measurements with those attained by mass spectrometry proves that this procedure is feasible and yields precise results.     

Towards molecular-scale electronics and biomolecular self-assembly

This paper provides an overview of recent research developments in the field of nanoelectronics with organic materials such as carbon nanotubes and DNA-templated nanowires. Carbon nanotubes and gold electrodes are chemically functionalized in order to contact carbon nanotubes by self-assembly. The transport properties of these nanotubes are dominated by charging effects and display clear Coulomb blockade behaviour. A different approach towards nanoscale electronics is based on the molecular recognition properties of biomolecules such as DNA. As an example, DNA is stretched between electrodes using a molecular combing technique. A two-step metallization procedure leads to the formation of highly conductive gold nanowires.     

基于明胶制备碳量子点及其光学性能的研究

通过水热法采用热解明胶制备出有蓝色荧光的碳量子点,并通过单因素优化实验对制备碳量子点的温度、时间进行优化以选择出制备碳量子点的最佳条件,结果表明在水热反应温度为200 ℃,反应时间为6 h时制备的碳量子点的荧光性能最强。同时,利用透射电子显微镜(TEM)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、Ｘ射线衍射(XRD)、紫外-可见吸收光谱(UV)及荧光光谱(PL)等手段对最佳条件下制备的碳量子点进行测试与表征,结果表明,该方法制备的碳量子点量子产率为39.4%,与不掺杂的碳量子点相比其量子产率相对较高,这可能是因为有N元素的存在使得量子产率有所提高;所制备的碳量子点不仅具有丰富的含氧官能团而且抗光漂白性能良好,形态主要是均匀分散的球形,没有明显的晶格条纹,这与相关文献报道的碳量子点的形态相一致,其在250～300 nm有较弱的吸收,但无明显的特征吸收峰,这可能是由于C=O基团的n-π*跃迁引起的;此外,还讨论了氙灯照射时间、pH、碳量子点浓度、不同类型溶剂及离子强度等因素对碳量子点荧光性能的影响,研究结果表明,氙灯照射时间及离子强度对碳量子点荧光性能几乎无影响,在过酸或过碱的条件下其荧光强度相对较弱,原因可能是在过酸或过碱的条件下发生质子化或非质子化的作用导致其荧光强度减弱;且碳量子点溶液随着其浓度的增加,荧光强度先增加后减小;而对于溶剂类型而言,其在极性溶剂中的荧光强度大于其在非极性溶剂中的荧光强度,说明该方法制备的碳量子点具有良好的水溶性。     

相互作用势对模拟计算单壁碳纳米管物理吸附储氢的影响

采用巨正则Monte Carlo方法模拟氢分子在单壁碳纳米管中的储存与分布,重点研究了Lennard-Jones势、Crowell-Brown势和Silvera- Goldman势对模拟计算单壁碳纳米管物理吸附储氢的影响.计算结果显示,碳纳米管与氢分子间的相互作用宜采用Lennard-Jones势描述;氢分子与氢分子间相互作用的描述则与碳纳米管的管径有关,管径较小时选Lennard-Jones势较佳,管径偏大时取七参数Silvera-Goldman 势更为合理,而三参数Silvera-Goldman势则不宜采用;并给出了相应的理论解释.     

Preparation and photocatalytic properties of silver nanoparticles loaded on CNTs/TiO2 composite

In this study, new nanoscale photocatalyst based on silver and CNTs/TiO₂ was successfully prepared by photoreduction method. The prepared Ag-CNTs/TiO₂ was characterized by TEM, XRD and XPS. The photocatalytic activity was also evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of Reactive Brilliant Red X-3B dye. The results indicated that the photocatalytic efficiency of CNTs/TiO₂ increased in the presence of Ag nanoparticles and the photocatalysis reaction followed a first order kinetics. The kinetic constant of Ag-CNTs/TiO₂ for dye degradation was nearly 1.2 times than that of CNTs/TiO₂, which indicated decorating Ag nanoparticles on CNTs/TiO₂ could enhance the photocatalytic ability.     

Wave propagation in viscoelastic single-walled carbon nanotubes with surface effect under magnetic field based on nonlocal strain gradient theory

The governing equation of wave motion of viscoelastic SWCNTs (single-walled carbon nanotubes) with surface effect under magnetic field is formulated on the basis of the nonlocal strain gradient theory. Based on the formulated equation of wave motion, the closed-form dispersion relation between the wave frequency (or phase velocity) and the wave number is derived. It is found that the size-dependent effects on the phase velocity may be ignored at low wave numbers, however, is significant at high wave numbers. Phase velocity can increase by decreasing damping or increasing the intensity of magnetic field. The damping ratio considering surface effect is larger than that without considering surface effect. Damping ratio can increase by increasing damping, increasing wave number, or decreasing the intensity of magnetic field.     

显微激光拉曼定量分析CO_2气体碳同位素组成方法研究

制备了一系列不同比例的~(12)CO_2/N_2和~(13)CO_2/N_2混合物,对样品进行显微激光拉曼测试分析后发现气体拉曼特征峰峰面积比与其摩尔分数比成正比例关系,拟合方程的斜率被认为是拉曼量化因子F_(12CO_2)和F_(13CO_2)。用气相组分中只含有~(12)CO_2和N_2的流体包裹体验证了当F_(12CO_2),为1.163 49时,根据气体的拉曼特征峰峰面积比能估算出其摩尔分数比。由线性拟合后的方程斜率得出F_(13CO_2)和F_(12CO_2)分别为1.610 86和1.163 49,它们的比率F_(13CO_2)/F_(12CO_2)是1.3845。在确定稳定同位素分子的拉曼参数和实验条件基础上,CO_2气体碳同位素摩尔分数比C_(12)/C_(13)可根据A_(12Co_2)/A_(13CO_2)(拉曼峰峰面积比)和F_(13CO_2)/F_(12CO_2)的乘积求出。此外,用已知摩尔分数比(C_(12)/C_(13))的人造包裹体验证了此方法具有一定的可行性,可以建立起定量分析CO_2气体碳同位素激光拉曼测试方法。     

模板合成法制备TiO2:Eu3+纳米管及其发光特性研究

以碳纳米管做模板,在不利用任何表面活性剂或催化剂情况下,通过溶剂热法成功合成均匀的TiO2:Eu3+纳米管。X射线衍射结果表明,该产物是TiO2的一种纯锐钛矿相。扫描电子显微镜及透射电子显微镜图像显示,所得到的TiO2:Eu3+纳米管在大小及分布上是均匀的,管壁的厚度约为8nm。提出了该纳米管可能的形成机制。发光光谱表明,由于5D0→7F2间的转换,TiO2:Eu3+纳米管会在612nm发出红光。此外,因为制备容易而且成本较低,这种合成路径还有望用来制备其他的一维无机纳米材料。     

High resolution emission spectroscopy of the AП-XΣ (red) system of CN

The emission spectra of the A²П-X²Σ⁺ (red) system of ¹²C¹⁴N have been reinvestigated in the 3500-22 000 cm⁻¹ region at high resolution using a Fourier transform spectrometer. In total, spectra of 63 bands involving vibrational levels up to v′ = 22 of the A²П state and v″ = 12 of the X²Σ⁺ ground state have been measured and rotationally analyzed providing an improved set of spectroscopic constants. The present measurements of the Δv = −2 sequence bands of ¹²C¹⁴N and those of ¹³C¹⁴N from Ram et al. (2010) [36] allow for a much improved identification of these two isotopologues in the near infrared spectra of carbon stars.
