Nanostructures of noble metals as functional materials in biosensors

Recent advancement in nanoscience and nanotechnologies inspired a wide spectrum of uses of nanodimensional materials ranging from industrial sector to biomedical applications. Inorganic nanomaterials made of noble metals, which are corrosion-resistant, are often included as electrode modifiers in designing electrochemical chemosensors and biosensors because of their unique catalytic, electric, and surface-related properties. This review summarizes the developments in electrochemical biosensors with integrated in their architecture metal nanostructures reported mainly during the last two years with a summary on some of the commonly used methods for the synthesis of metallic nanostructures. Nanodimensional noble metal structures might be considered as multipurpose electrode modifiers because of their abilities to act at the same time as electrocatalysts, signal amplifiers, and tools for immobilization and spatial orientation of redox proteins/enzymes or other type of bioreceptors.     

Sorbents for the Direct Capture of CO2 from Ambient Air

The urgency to address global climate change induced by greenhouse gas emissions is increasing. In particular, the rise in atmospheric CO₂ levels is generating alarm. Technologies to remove CO₂ from ambient air, or “direct air capture” (DAC), have recently demonstrated that they can contribute to “negative carbon emission.” Recent advances in surface chemistry and material synthesis have resulted in new generations of CO₂ sorbents, which may drive the future of DAC and its large‐scale deployment. This Review describes major types of sorbents designed to capture CO₂ from ambient air and they are categorized by the sorption mechanism: physisorption, chemisorption, and moisture‐swing sorption.     

Macro-Reticular Ion Exchange Resins for Recovery of Direct Dyes from Spent Dyeing and Soaping Liquors

Dyes are a major class of organic pollutants that are well-known for their harmful impact on aquatic life and humans. Several new strategies for removing colours from industrial and residential effluents have recently emerged, with adsorption being the best option. The current study looked at the recovery of direct dyes from aqueous streams for reuse using macro-reticular ion exchange resins (IERs). The investigation includes dyeing single jersey cotton grey textiles with direct dyes from the Isma dye Company in Kafr El Dawar, Egypt. After centrifuging and separating the supernatant liquid, solutions from thirteen different dyes, produced at an average concentration between the wasted and soaping liquor concentrations, were calculated spectrophotometrically from the first dyeing trials. Kinetic data were well fitted with pseudo-second-order rate kinetics. The amounts of dye retained by the anion exchangers increased with a rise in temperature in the case of Strong Base Resin (SBR) and vice versa for Weak Base Resin (WBR). Batch adsorption experiments with SBR and WBR were conducted for each dye, and both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms were constructed. It was found that adsorption obeyed both isotherms, that monolayer adsorption took place, and that the dye molecular weight, structure, and solubility, as well as the type of anionic resin used, had varying effects on the extent of absorption. The monolayer sorption capacities Q₀ determined from the Langmuir isotherm model for the strongly and weakly basic anion exchangers were found to be 537.6 and 692 mg/g for Direct Yellow RL, respectively. As a result, Yellow RL exhibited the greatest adsorption on both SBR and WBR. Orange GRLL, Blue 3B, and Congo Red, on the other hand, were the poorest colours absorbed by the IERs, whereas Blue RL demonstrated good adsorption by SBR and accelerated adsorption by WBR. Most of the dyes may be recovered and reused in this manner.

蒙特卡罗模拟四极阱中原子的参变激发

在中性原子的磁囚禁实验中,磁阱线圈的电流噪声会激发磁阱中的原子运动,势必对原子团的温度和寿命产生不可忽视的影响。对于非简谐阱,这种激发具有能量选择特性,它又取决于电流噪声的频谱分布。选择了实验中常用的四极阱为研究对象,用直接模拟蒙特卡罗方法来模拟四极阱中原子运动的参变激发现象,得到了原子温度与原子数损失随激发频率的变化关系,并进一步计算了两个共振峰处原子温度随调制时间和调制深度的变化曲线。此外,还研究了弹性碰撞速率对参变激发过程中原子温度上升的影响。这些结果对四极阱参变激发的实验有较好的参考价值。

直接甲醇燃料电池（DMFC）的开发设计日渐成为燃料电池领域的研究热点。利用数学模型对内部传递现象进行数值模拟,不仅具有很强的理论意义,而且对结构设计和操作条件优化有很强的指导意义。本文基于两相流模型和CFD（computer fluid dynamics）技术的应用,综述了电池内部绝大多数的传递过程,特别是近些年开发的电池内部与水相关的传递过程的物理模型和数学模型,并以二者的相互联系加以组织。这些模型思想综合考虑了微观传递机理,描述了电池内复杂的传递现象并提供了相应的数值模拟方法和模型验证方法。这些方法能够加深人们对电池内部传质现象的理解,而其实用意义在于能够指导设计和优化电池结构、提高电池的体积和重量比能量密度和缩短开发周期和大幅度降低开发成本。     

反胶束法制备直接甲醇燃料电池Pt-Sn/C催化剂及其表征

在水/AOT/环己烷反胶束体系中, 制备了Pt-Sn/C催化剂, 研究了不同ω (反胶束溶液中水与表面活性剂的物质量之比)值对Pt-Sn粒径的影响. 并采用TEM, XRD, XPS, 循环伏安等技术对其进行表征. TEM结果表明合成的Pt-Sn纳米颗粒为球形, 在碳载体表面均匀分布, 粒径分布窄, 平均粒径为2.7 nm. Pt-Sn颗粒尺寸随着ω的增加而增大. XRD结果表明该催化剂中Pt具有面心立方结构且没有与Sn形成合金. XPS结果表明在该催化剂中, Pt主要以零价态存在. 在甲醇溶液中的循环伏安扫描结果表明, 甲醇氧化峰电位和峰电流随着ω的增加而减小, 说明反胶束方法可以通过控制颗粒尺寸, 从而影响催化剂的电氧化活性. 相对于商用Pt-Ru/Vulcan XC-72 (20 wt%, E-TEK公司), 该催化剂具有较低的峰电势以及较高的I_f/I_b (循环伏安曲线中正向扫描峰电流与反向扫描峰电流的比值), 这表明用此方法制备的Pt-Sn/C催化剂具有较好的抗中毒能力.
