Combined effect of chemically compound graphene oxide‐calcium pimelate on crystallization behavior,morphology and mechanical properties of isotactic polypropylene

The combined nucleation effect of graphene oxide (GO) and calcium pimelate (CaPi) which are chemically compound together (expressed in GO ? CaPi) in isotactic polypropylene (iPP) was investigated. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) verified that CaPi was chemically compound with GO by chelate bonds. The crystallization behavior and crystalline morphologies of iPP nucleated with different mass ratio of GO and CaPi were investigated. The crystallization peak temperature of iPP nucleated with 0.2 wt% GO ? CaPi with the mass ratio of 1:5 (GO1 ? C5) was increased by 8.3°C when compared with that of pure iPP, and the relative content of β‐crystal reached up to 0.7962. Whereas, the crystallization peak temperature of iPP nucleated with 0.2 wt% GO and CaPi which are blended together by mechanical force (expressed in GO + CaPi) with the mass ratio of 1:5 (GO1 + C5) was only increased by 5.0°C. It was attributed to that the aggregation of GO + CaPi caused the decrease of the crystallization peak temperature, while the GO1 ? C5 uniformly dispersed in the iPP matrix. Unexpectedly, the relative content of β‐crystal of iPP nucleated with 0.02 wt% GO1 ? C5 reached up to 0.8094, and the crystallization peak temperature was increased by 6.7°C compared with that of pure iPP. Meanwhile, the impact strength, tensile strength and heat deflection temperature of iPP nucleated with 0.02 wt% GO1 ? C5 increased by almost 45.86%, 2.03% and 7.7°C, respectively. The iPP nucleated with GO1 ? C5 obtained a balance between stiffness and toughness and the thermo‐mechanical property of nucleated iPP was improved.     

A Conjugated Polymer Containing Arylazopyrazole Units in the Side Chains for Field‐Effect Transistors Optically Tunable by Near Infra‐Red Light

Optically tunable field‐effect transistors (FETs) with near infra‐red (NIR) light show promising applications in various areas. Now, arylazopyrazole groups are incorporated in the side chains of a semiconducting donor–acceptor (D‐A) polymer. The cis–trans interconversion of the arylazopyrazole can be controlled by 980 nm and 808 nm NIR light irradiation, by utilizing NaYF₄:Yb,Tm upconversion nanoparticles and the photothermal effect of conjugated D‐A polymers, respectively. This reversible transformation affects the interchain packing of the polymer thin film, which in turn reversibly tunes the semiconducting properties of the FETs by the successive 980 nm and 808 nm light irradiation. The resultant FETs display fast response to NIR light, good resistance to photofatigue, and stability in storage for up to 120 days. These unique features will be useful in future memory and bioelectronic wearable devices.     

MXene-碳黑/硫复合材料在锂硫电池一体式电极的研究

锂硫电池的实际能量密度不高和多硫化物（LiPSs）的穿梭效应等问题严重影响了该电池的实际应用。本文通过将二维的Ti₃C₂T_x Mxene纳米片与碳黑/硫（CB/S）材料进行混合,制备了Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S正极材料并将其涂覆在商业隔膜（PP）上,最终获得了Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S-PP一体式电极并用于锂硫电池。利用Ti₃C₂T_x纳米片对CB/S进行修饰,不仅能提高活性物质硫的导电性,还能对扩散的LiPSs进行物理阻挡和化学吸附。而一体式电极的设计有利于提高电池的能量密度。恒流充放电测试结果表明,Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S-PP电极在0.1 C电流下的初始放电容量为1028.8 mAh·g^-1,高于不含Ti₃C₂T_x的CB/S-PP电极的896.8 mAh·g^-1。Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S-PP电极还展示出了比基于传统铝箔集流体的Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S-Al电极更好的循环稳定性,前者在0.5 C下400圈长循环测试中的每圈衰减率为0.072%,而后者则为更高的0.10%。本文利用Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S构建一体式电极的策略为实现高性能和高能量密度的锂硫电池提供了新的研究方向。

金刚石纳米线氮空位色心的表面与尺寸效应

使用大规模自旋极化密度泛函理论计算研究了表面修饰和尺寸对金刚石纳米线(DNs)中氮空位(NV)色心的几何结构、 电子结构、 磁性和稳定性的影响. 理论上设计了几种不同的DNs, 这些DNs具有不同的表面修饰(干净、 氢化和氟化), 并且直径达数百个原子. 实验结果证明, 中性(NV⁰)和带1个负电荷(NV^-)的NV色心的电子结构不受半导体表面修饰和DNs直径大小的影响, 但NV色心的稳定性对这两个因素具有不同的响应. 此外, 研究中还发现, 由于DNs中存在圆柱形表面电偶极子层, 对DNs中掺杂的NV^-色心的稳定性, 表面改性诱导了不依赖尺寸的长程效应. 特别地, 对于n型氟化金刚石表面, 掺杂在DN中的NV^-色心可以稳定存在, 而对于p型氢化表面, NV⁰则相对更稳定. 因此, 表面修饰为控制金刚石纳米线中的NV色心的电子结构和稳定性提供了一种精确有效的调控方法.     

Snake Venom Components: Tools and Cures to Target Cardiovascular Diseases

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are considered as a major cause of death worldwide. Therefore, identifying and developing therapeutic strategies to treat and reduce the prevalence of CVDs is a major medical challenge. Several drugs used for the treatment of CVDs, such as captopril, emerged from natural products, namely snake venoms. These venoms are complex mixtures of bioactive molecules, which, among other physiological networks, target the cardiovascular system, leading to them being considered in the development and design of new drugs. In this review, we describe some snake venom molecules targeting the cardiovascular system such as phospholipase A2 (PLA2), natriuretic peptides (NPs), bradykinin-potentiating peptides (BPPs), cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPs), disintegrins, fibrinolytic enzymes, and three-finger toxins (3FTXs). In addition, their molecular targets, and mechanisms of action—vasorelaxation, inhibition of platelet aggregation, cardioprotective activities—are discussed. The dissection of their biological effects at the molecular scale give insights for the development of future snake venom-derived drugs.     

具有增强电荷转移驱动的磺酸基功能化g-C3N4光催化剂的设计合成及应用

随着全球环境问题日益严重以及能源需求的不断增长,人们对高效环境修复与能源转换技术的需求日益增强.以半导体材料为光催化剂,可将可再生的太阳能转化为化学能,有望成为解决人类面临的能源和环境问题的有效途径.其中,开发高效稳定的光催化剂是该技术得以实际应用的关键.近几十年,研究人员开发出多种半导体材料并应用于光催化研究.其中,具有可见光响应的有机非金属光催化剂石墨相氮化碳(g-C₃N₄)因其稳定的分子结构,较小的禁带宽度(~2.7 e V)以及合适的能带结构而备受关注.然而,与大多数半导体光催化剂相似,由于传统g-C₃N₄上的光生电子和空穴极易复合,表面催化活性位点较少,可见光响应范围较窄,使得其催化效率不高.基于g-C₃N₄独特的有机分子结构,通过引入功能化的特定基团以优化g-C₃N₄的电子能带结构,促进载流子传输,拓展可见光响应范围,是提高其光催化效率的有效途径.已有研究表明,在各种功能化官能团中,具有强电负性的含氧基团对g-C₃N₄的Melon单元优化是非常有效的.因此,本文通过g-C₃N₄与氨基磺酸间的简单固相热反应成功合成了磺酸基功能化的g-C₃N₄纳米片(SACN),并实现了同步增强的相互作用.根据固体强酸特性,氨基磺酸可以在热处理的辅助下对g-C₃N₄进行酸刻蚀,从而增加其比表面积以及表面催化活性位点.更重要的是,理论计算与实验表征结果表明,磺酸基团的吸电子诱导效应所产生的电荷驱动力可极大改善g-C₃N₄的电荷转移动力学,有效抑制了它们的再结合.此外,吸电子诱导效应还可促进g-C₃N₄的局域电子再分布,进而降低g-C₃N₄的导带电位,增强光诱导电子的还原能力.光催化性能测试结果表明,SACN-400样品(前驱体中氨基磺酸加入量为400 mg)在光催化分解水制备氢气以及光降解传统污染物领域展现出较好的性能,其在入射光波长为420±15 nm时的产氢表观量子效率为11.03%.综上,本文为设计合成具有较高产氢性能以及污染物降解效率的石墨相氮化碳基光催化剂提供了一种简便有效的策略.     

Heterostructured composite of NiFe-LDH nanosheets with Ti4O7 for oxygen evolution reaction

Developing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst based on earth-abundant materials holds great promise for ascertaining water-splitting to surmount its deprived kinetics. In this regard, NiFe-LDH (layered double hydroxide) receives considerable attention owing to their layered structure. However, they still suffer from poor electronic conductivity and structural stability. We combined NiFe-LDH nanosheets with Magnéli phase Ti₄O₇ into a heterostructured composite. A series of analyses reveal that decorating Ti₄O₇ facilitates charge transfer to enhance the conductivity of NiFe-LDH-Ti₄O₇. During electrochemical measurement, Ni²⁺ is transformed to metastable Ni³⁺ (Ni (OH)→ NiOOH) before the OER onset potential. Thus, the presence of Ni³⁺ as the main active sites could improve the chemisorption of OH^? to facilitate OER. As a result, the NiFe-LDH-Ti₄O₇ catalyst delivers as low as onset potential (1.43 V). Combining the holey structure (NiFe-LDH and Ti₄O₇) and the defect engineering generated on NiFe-LDH-Ti₄O₇ as a synergistic effect improves the OER performance. The inclusion of Ti₄O₇ in the composite leads to more vacancy sites, as evidenced by the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. The obtained defective structure with a low coordination environment would improve the electronic conductivity and facilitate the adsorption process of H₂O onto metal cations, thereby increasing the intrinsic catalytic activity of NiOOH. The strong coupling of NiFe-LDH and Ti₄O₇ also increases the stability, and the heterostructured composite helps maintain the structural robustness of the LDH.
