热活化延迟荧光蓝光小分子取代基效应的研究进展

近年来,作为第三代有机发光二极管(organic light-emitting diodes, OLED)发光材料的热活化延迟荧光(thermally activated delayed fluorescence, TADF)材料受到了学术界和产业界的广泛关注. TADF分子由于其单线态与三线态之间的能级差较小,三线态激子可以被环境热活化而通过反系间窜越上转换至单线态,理论上可实现100%的激子利用率,从而使得OLED器件外量子效率显著提高.TADF材料被认为是突破高效稳定有机电致蓝光发射瓶颈的潜在解决方案.一般, TADF分子为含有电子给体(donor, D)和电子受体(acceptor, A)的纯有机推拉电子体系.通过改变给体单元和受体单元的结构、数量和取代基及其位置可以有效调节TADF分子的单线态-三线态能级差、前线轨道分布、聚集态结构、电致发光颜色及其性能.同时取代基在调控给、受体单元的推拉电子能力及TADF材料的分子构型、聚集态结构和稳定性等物化特性方面扮演着非常重要的角色.本综述分别对D-A型和多重共振型TADF蓝光分子的取代基效应进行了综述,以期为高效稳定的蓝光TADF分...     

大孔-介孔Ag/PDA/MMS复合材料的制备及其催化性能

用双模板法制备了介孔纳米薄膜构筑的毫米级尺寸的大孔-介孔SiO₂(MMS),通过多巴胺(DA)在其孔道表面氧化自聚合成聚多巴胺(PDA),得到PDA修饰的MMS(PDA/MMS),再经PDA原位还原Ag+制得大孔-介孔Ag/PDA/MMS复合材料。应用扫描电镜、透射电镜、N2吸附-脱附、X射线光电子能谱、X射线衍射、UV-Vis、FT-IR和热重技术对所制得的材料进行表征。结果表明,MMS兼具纳米介孔材料和宏观尺寸大孔材料的优点。Ag/PDA/MMS在催化还原对硝基苯酚(4-NP)反应中展现出高催化活性,转化频率(TOF)达2.97 min^-1。这归因于其独特的结构：相互连通的大孔孔道大大降低了传质阻力,短孔道的介孔显著增加了活性位点的可达性,大的比表面积为反应物提供了大量的活性位点。而且,毫米级尺寸的Ag/PDA/MMS可以很容易从反应体系中分离出来,在5次循环后仍能将4-NP完全转化为对氨基苯酚(4-AP)。另外,Ag/PDA/MMS对亚甲基蓝(MB)的还原也有良好的催化效果。     

Synthesis of Starch-Grafted Polymethyl Methacrylate via Free Radical Polymerization Reaction and Its Application for the Uptake of Methylene Blue

In this research, a new biodegradable and eco-friendly adsorbent, starch-grafted polymethyl methacrylate (St-g-PMMA) was synthesized. The St-g-PMMA was synthesized by a free radical polymerization reaction in which methyl methacrylate (MMA) was grafted onto a starch polymer chain. The reaction was performed in water in the presence of a potassium persulfate (KPS) initiator. The structure and different properties of the St-g-PMMA was explored by FT-IR, 1H NMR, TGA, SEM and XRD. After characterization, the St-g-PMMA was used for the removal of MB dye. Different adsorption parameters, such as effect of adsorbent dose, effect of pH, effect of initial concentration of dye solution, effect of contact time and comparative adsorption study were investigated. The St-g-PMMA showed a maximum removal percentage (R%) of 97% towards MB. The other parameters, such as the isothermal and kinetic models, were fitted to the experimental data. The results showed that the Langmuir adsorption and pseudo second order kinetic models were best fitted to experimental data with a regression coefficient of R² = 0.93 and 0.99, respectively.     

Probe-Integrated Label-Free Electrochemical Immunosensor Based on Binary Nanocarbon Composites for Detection of CA19-9

Convenient and sensitive detection of tumor biomarkers is crucial for the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Herein, we present a probe-integrated and label-free electrochemical immunosensor based on binary nanocarbon composites and surface-immobilized methylene blue (MB) redox probes for detection of carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA19-9), which is closely associated with gastric malignancies. Nanocarbon composites consisting of electrochemically reduced graphene oxides and carbon nanotubes (ErGO-CNT) are electrodeposited onto an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode surface to form a 3D nanocomposite film, which could provide high surface area to immobilize abundant MB probes, facilitate the electron transfer of MB, and therefore, improve sensitivity. Polydopamine (PDA) served as a bifunctional linker is able to immobilize anti-CA19-9 antibodies and stabilize the inner probe, conferring the sensing interface with specific recognition capacity. Electrochemical detection of CA19-9 is achieved based on the decrease of the redox signal of MB after specific binding of CA19-9 with a wide linear range of 0.1 mU/mL to 100 U/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.54 nU/mL (S/N = 3). The constructed electrochemical immunosensor has good selectivity, repeatability, reproducibility, and stability. Furthermore, determination of CA19-9 in human serum samples is also realized.

Electrochemical Study on the Interaction of Protein with Bromothymol Blue and Its Analytical Application

The interaction of bromothymol blue（BB） with human serum albumin（HSA） was studied by electrochemical techniques and a sensitive method for proteins assay was developed. When BB interacted with HSA, the voltammetric peak current value of BB decreased linearly with the concentration of HSA in a range of 1.0--40.0 mg/L, and the peak potential shifted negatively. Based on the results, a sensitive assay method for proteins, such as HSA, bovine serum albumin（BSA）, and egg albumin etc. was established. This method was further applied to determining the HSA in healthy human blood samples, and the results are not significantly different from those obtained by the classic Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 spectrophotometic method. The detecting conditions of this method were optimized and the interaction mechanism was discussed. The results show that the electrochemical parameters（formal potential E^0, standard rate constant of the electrode reaction ks, parameter of kinetic nα） of BB have no obvious changes before and after the interaction, which indicate that BB can interact with HSA, forming an electrochemical non-active complex. The equilibrium constant（βs） and the binding ratio（m） for this complex were calculated. The m is 4 and βs is 1.41 × 10^19. This method is fast, simple, highly sensitive, and has good selectivity, which can be used in clinical measurements.

Dihydrogen Bonding—Seen through the Eyes of Vibrational Spectroscopy

In this work, we analyzed five groups of different dihydrogen bonding interactions and hydrogen clusters with an H3+ kernel utilizing the local vibrational mode theory, developed by our group, complemented with the Quantum Theory of Atoms–in–Molecules analysis to assess the strength and nature of the dihydrogen bonds in these systems. We could show that the intrinsic strength of the dihydrogen bonds investigated is primarily related to the protonic bond as opposed to the hydridic bond; thus, this should be the region of focus when designing dihydrogen bonded complexes with a particular strength. We could also show that the popular discussion of the blue/red shifts of dihydrogen bonding based on the normal mode frequencies is hampered from mode–mode coupling and that a blue/red shift discussion based on local mode frequencies is more meaningful. Based on the bond analysis of the H3+(H2)n systems, we conclude that the bond strength in these crystal–like structures makes them interesting for potential hydrogen storage applications.     

Highly Efficient Photocatalysts for Methylene Blue Degradation Based on a Platform of Deposited GO-ZnO Nanoparticles on Polyurethane Foam

The demand for reactive dyes in industries has increased rapidly in recent years, and producing a large quantity of dye-containing effluent waste contaminates soils and water streams. Current efforts to remove these harmful dyes have focused on utilizing functionalized nanomaterials. A 3D polyurethane foam loaded with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and ZnO nanocomposite (PUF/rGO/ZnO) has been proposed as an efficient structural design for dye degradation under the influence of visible light. The proposed structure was synthesized using a hydrothermal route followed by microwave irradiation. The resultant 3D PUF/rGO/ZnO was examined and characterized by various techniques such as XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDAX, BET, and UV–visible spectroscopy. SEM data illustrated that a good dispersion and embedment of the rGO/ZnO NPs within the PUF matrix occurred. The adsorption capacity for neat PUF showed that around 20% of the Methylene blue (MB) dye was only adsorbed on its surface. However, it was found that an exceptional adsorption capacity for MB degradation was observed when the rGO/ZnO NPs inserted into the PUF, which initially deteriorated to ~ 70 % of its initial concentration. Notably, the MB dye was completely degraded within 3 h.
