The influence of reverse energy transport on emission anisotropy in two-component viscous solutions

The effect of nonradiative reverse energy transport (NRET) in two donor-acceptor systems was studied experimentally. It was found that the NRET occurring in system I; rhodamine 6G (donor) and rhodamine B (acceptor), considerably lowers the emission anisotropy at medium and high concentrations. These results qualitatively confirm the predictions of the approximate theoretical approach of L. Kulak and C. Bojarski (see the preceding paper). In system II; rhodamine 6G (donor) and Nile Blue (acceptor), for which the NRET process does not occur, a good agreement with no-back-transport theory was obtained.     

Molecular Simulation on Transport Properties of Confined Water

The diffusivity and viscosity of water confined in micropores were studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The effects of pore width and density were analyzed at pore widths from 0.9 to 2.6nm. The diffusivity in micropores is lower than that of the bulk, and it decreases as pore width decreases and as density increases. But the viscosity in micropores is much larger than that of the bulk, and it increases as pore width decreases and as density increases. The diffusivity in channel parallel direction is obviously larger than that in channel perpendicular directions.     

四-α-(2，2，4-三甲基-3-戊氧基)酞菁金属配合物(M=Co，Ni，Cu，Zn)的合成与光谱性质(英)

A series of [tetra-α-(2,2,4-tirmethyl-3-pentoxy) phthalocyaninato] metal complexes(M=Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)were prepared by cyclotetramerization of 3-(2,2,4-tirmethyl-3-pentoxy)phthalonitrile with corresponding anhydrous metal salts， using 1.8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) as the catalyst. HPLC analysis shows that one isomer predominates in the product of nickel complex, while at least two main constitutional isomers exist in the product of other metal complexes. The complexes (in the form of mixture of constitutional isomers) were characterized by elemental analyses, MS, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.     

Active transport of Na + and K + through animal cell membranes

The transport of Na⁺ out of the cell and K⁺ into the cell against a concentration gradient is catalyzed by a (Na⁺ + K⁺)-activated ATPase. The way in which the cations pass through the cell membrane has not yet been elucidated. Studies on the ATP hydrolysis revealed a Na⁺-dependent phosphorylation of the enzyme protein; the conformation of the enzyme also appears to change. The energy required for transport of the cations against their concentration gradients is probably provided by K⁺-dependent hydrolysis of the enzyme-bound phosphate. The enzyme can synthesize ATP from inorganic phosphate and ADP on reversal of the cation concentration gradient. By keeping the enzyme in a particular conformation, the cardiac glycoside ouabain specifically inhibits the Na⁺ pump.     

A High－efficiency Preparation, Properties and Structure of （R, S ）－and （ S, S）－Pyrrolidine－2－carboxylic Acid 3,5－Dioxa－4－boracvclo.hepta [ 2,1－α; 3,4－α′] dinaphthalen－4－yl Esters

A highly-efficient preparative procedure for ( R, S )- and ( S, S)-pyrroHdine-2-carboxyHc acid 3,5-dioxa-4-boracyclohepta[2, 1-α ; 3,4-α′] dlnaphthalen-4-yl esters [ namely ( R, S )-BNBAP and (S, S )-BNBAP] is described and the crystal structure of (R, S )-BNBAP was obtained. The data indicate that ( R, S )-BNBAP is a spirocyclic inner borate salt with almost normal te-trahedral configuration. This structural form may be the basic reason for their high chemical, optical and thermodynamic sta-bility.     

Electrophysical characteristics and stability of solid apatite-like electrolytes La x Si6O12 + 1.5x and La x Ge6O12 + 1.5x

Oxygen-ion conduction in apatite-like compounds based on silicates and germanates of lanthanum La _x A₆O_{12 + 1.5x} (A = Si, Ge; x = 9.11–10.22) is studied. The compounds are shown to be purely ionic conductors at 600–900°C and partial oxygen pressures 10^?16 to 10⁵ Pa. The electroconductivity of the best conducting specimens of La _x A₆O_{12 + 1.5x} (A = Si, Ge; x = 9.77–10) exceeds that of electrolyte YSZ at moderate temperatures. The electroconductivity of lanthanum germanate is substantially greater than that of lanthanum silicate, specifically, 7.85 × 10^?2 and 2.35 × 10^?2 S cm^?1, respectively, at 800°C. An inflection is discovered at ～750°C in the temperature dependences of electroconductivity of La _x Ge₆O_{12 + 1.5x} (x = 9.77–10.22). A dilatometric examination points to a second-kind phase transition that may be due to the oxygen sublattice disordering. The behavior of apatite-like electrolytes La _x A₆O_{12 + 1.5x} (A = Si, Ge) during long exploitation periods in the interval of working temperatures of electrochemical devices is studied for the first time ever. The electrolytes’ aging at 800°C in air for 1000 h was investigated by the electroconductivity method. The electroconductivity of lanthanum germanates decayed with time by 5% and that of lanthanum silicates, by 9.5%. The steady-state values of electroconductivity of all compounds studied is reached after 600–700 h. The compounds studied form a class of materials that hold some promise as solid electrolytes for medium-temperature fuel cells and other electrochemical devices.     

Electrospun Nanofibrous Adsorption Membranes for Wastewater Treatment: Mechanical Strength Enhancement

Functional nanofibrous membranes fabricated by electrospinning technology have attracted much attention in the removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated wastewater. The high specific surface area, high porosity and ease of functionality create an enhanced throughput and high adsorption capacity of the nanofibrous membrane. However, the relatively poor mechanical properties of the membrane with a non-woven nanofibrous structure are one of the major concerns, which can limit the applications in wastewater treatment. Different strategies and methodologies were explored to address the problems and were reviewed in this work, highlighting the possibilities of overcoming the poor mechanical properties of the nanofibrous membrane and to ensure the recyclability and reusability of the membrane during the adsorption process.

Ru、Rh、Pd掺杂GaSb的电子结构和光学性质

运用第一性原理计算方法研究了过渡族金属TM(TM=Ru、Rh、Pd)掺杂GaSb的电子结构和光学性质,结果表明:TM掺杂GaSb主要以TM替代Ga(TM @Ga)缺陷存在,并可增强GaSb半导体材料对红外光区光子的响应,使体系光学吸收谱的吸收边红移;TM@Ga所引入的杂质能级分布于零点费米能级附近,这极大地增强了体系的介电性能,促进了电子-空穴对的产生和迁移,因而提升了掺杂体系的光电转换效率;Ru 掺杂对GaSb光学性质的改善最为明显,当掺杂浓度为6.25%(原子数分数)且均匀掺杂时,Ru掺杂GaSb体系对红外光区光子的吸收幅度最大,有效提升了GaSb光电转换效率和光催化活性。
