Nanofluidics encompasses a wide range of advanced approaches to study charge and mass transport at the nanoscale. Modern technologies allow us to develop and improve artificial nanofluidic platforms that confine ions in a way similar to single-ion channels in living cells. Therefore, nanofluidic platforms show great potential to act as a test field for theoretical models. This review aims to highlight ionic Coulomb blockade (ICB)—an effect that is proposed to be the key player of ion channel selectivity, which is based upon electrostatic exclusion limiting ion transport. Thus, in this perspective, we focus on the most promising approaches that have been reported on the subject. We consider ion confinements of various dimensionalities and highlight the most recent advancements in the field. Furthermore, we concentrate on the most critical obstacles associated with these studies and suggest possible solutions to advance the field further. 相似文献

This work reports the sol-gel synthesis of silica hybrids. We determined the effect of the type and quantity of silica precursors
and organic compounds on the resulting structure, surface area, nanostructure design and size, and potential applications.
The structure of the synthesized hybrids was analyzed using FT-IR, XRD, BET-Analysis, SEM, and AFM. We demonstrate the immovilization
of whole living thermophilic bacterial cells with cyanocompound degradation activity in the synthesized silica hybrid biomaterials
by entrapment, chemical binding, and adsorption. 相似文献

The purpose of the present work is the sol–gel synthesis, structure characterization and potential application of hybrid biomaterials
based on silica precursor (MTES) and natural polymers such as gelatin or pectin. The structure formation in the biomaterials
was investigated by XRD, FTIR, BET and AFM. The results showed that all studied hybrid biomaterials have an amorphous structure.
The FT-IR spectra of the obtained materials with MTES showed chemical bonds at 2,975, 1,255, 880 and 690 cm−1 due to the presence of Si–O–R (CH3 and C2H5) and Si–C bonds. In the samples synthesized with TEOS the inorganic and organic components interact by hydrogen bonding,
Van der Waals or electrostatic forces. Surface area of investigated samples decreases with increasing of the natural polymers
content. The structure evolution was studied by AFM and roughness analysis. Depending on the chemical composition a different
design and size of particles and their aggregates on the surface structure were established. The hybrid biomaterials were
used for immobilization of bacterial cells and applied in the biodegradation of the toxic compound 4-chlorobutyronitrile,
possible constituent of waste water effluents in a laboratory glass bioreactor. Optimization of the process at different temperatures
was carried out. 相似文献

In this work we present experimental results about the formation, properties and structure of sol — gel silica based biocomposite
containing Calcium alginate as an organic compound. Two different types of silicon precursors have been used in the synthesis:
tetramethylortosilicate (TMOS) and ethyltrimethoxysilane (ETMS). The samples have been prepared at room temperature. The hybrids
have been synthesized by replacing different quantitis of the inorganic precursor with alginate. The structure of the obtained
hybrid materials has been studied by XRD, IR Spectroscopy, EDS, BET and AFM. The results proved that all samples are amorphous
possessing a surface area from 70 to 290 m2/g. It has also been established by FT IR spectra that the hybrids containing TMOS display Van der Walls and Hydrogen bonding
or electrostatic interactions between the organic and inorganic components. Strong chemical bonds between the inorganic and
organic components in the samples with ETMS are present. A self-organized nanostructure has been observed by AFM. In the obtained
hybrids the nanobuilding blocks average in size at about 8–14 nm for the particles. 相似文献

The microstructure of thermally treated neodymium containing silica gels is investigated by transmission electron microscopy
and electron diffraction. Microheterogeneities with amorphous nature are found. Information for the short range order is obtained
by the Radial Distribution Functions: SiO4 tetrahedra and NdO6 groups are formed and transition from four-fold to six-fold ring structure is observed with increasing of the heat treatment
temperature. 相似文献

A polymeric resin material was chosen as the model system to visualise the ageing-induced chemical surface changes with molecular
spectroscopic imaging techniques and correlate these results to physical properties such as colour changes. The influence
of light radiation, temperature and humidity on the polymeric surfaces was analysed by means of attenuated total reflection
infrared imaging, Raman imaging spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Samples were analysed before, during and after
the weathering/ageing tests. From these combined data, the mechanisms for the damaging of the resin surface under the various
environmental conditions (as applied in the accelerated ageing tests) were deduced. Photo-oxidative decay of the resin leading
to a degradation of the uppermost surface layers as well as hydrolysis of the aged surface was identified. The combination
of the spectral and spatial data as obtained from spectroscopic imaging with the morphological and elemental information of
scanning electron microscopic mapping experiments turned out to be highly advantageous for the elucidation of ageing processes.
A correlation between the molecular spectroscopic data and the results from the macroscopic colour difference measurements
was found. 相似文献

High-resolution X-ray absorption spectroscopy with narrow-band X-ray emission detection, supported by density functional theory calculations (XAES-DFT), was used to study a model complex, ([Fe(2)(μ-adt)(CO)(4)(PMe(3))(2)] (1, adt = S-CH(2)-(NCH(2)Ph)-CH(2)-S), of the [FeFe] hydrogenase active site. For 1 in powder material (1(powder)), in MeCN solution (1'), and in its three protonated states (1H, 1Hy, 1HHy; H denotes protonation at the adt-N and Hy protonation of the Fe-Fe bond to form a bridging metal hydride), relations between the molecular structures and the electronic configurations were determined. EXAFS analysis and DFT geometry optimization suggested prevailing rotational isomers in MeCN, which were similar to the crystal structure or exhibited rotation of the (CO) ligands at Fe1 (1(CO), 1Hy(CO)) and in addition of the phenyl ring (1H(CO,Ph), 1HHy(CO,Ph)), leading to an elongated solvent-exposed Fe-Fe bond. Isomer formation, adt-N protonation, and hydride binding caused spectral changes of core-to-valence (pre-edge of the Fe K-shell absorption) and of valence-to-core (K?(2,5) emission) electronic transitions, and of Kα RIXS data, which were quantitatively reproduced by DFT. The study reveals (1) the composition of molecular orbitals, for example, with dominant Fe-d character, showing variations in symmetry and apparent oxidation state at the two Fe ions and a drop in MO energies by ~1 eV upon each protonation step, (2) the HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, of ~2.3 eV for 1(powder) and ~2.0 eV for 1', and (3) the splitting between iron d(z(2)) and d(x(2)-y(2)) levels of ~0.5 eV for the nonhydride and ~0.9 eV for the hydride states. Good correlations of reduction potentials to LUMO energies and oxidation potentials to HOMO energies were obtained. Two routes of facilitated bridging hydride binding thereby are suggested, involving ligand rotation at Fe1 for 1Hy(CO) or adt-N protonation for 1HHy(CO,Ph). XAES-DFT thus enables verification of the effects of ligand substitutions in solution for guided improvement of [FeFe] catalysts. 相似文献

Heterogeneous Water Oxidation: Surface Activity versus Amorphization Activation in Cobalt Phosphate Catalysts 下载免费PDF全文

Is water oxidation catalyzed at the surface or within the bulk volume of solid oxide materials? This question is addressed for cobalt phosphate catalysts deposited on inert electrodes, namely crystallites of pakhomovskyite (Co3(PO4)2?8 H2O, Pak) and phosphate‐containing Co oxide (CoCat). X‐ray spectroscopy reveals that oxidizing potentials transform the crystalline Pak slowly (5–8 h) but completely into the amorphous CoCat. Electrochemical analysis supports high‐TOF surface activity in Pak, whereas its amorphization results in dominating volume activity of the thereby formed CoCat material. In the directly electrodeposited CoCat, volume catalysis prevails, but not at very low levels of the amorphous material, implying high‐TOF catalysis at surface sites. A complete picture of heterogeneous water oxidation requires insight in catalysis at the electrolyte‐exposed “outer surface”, within a hydrated, amorphous volume phase, and modes and kinetics of restructuring upon operation. 相似文献

A polymer laminate and a PA-PTFE blend were studied by various imaging methods (FT-IR, Raman, ESEM). Different lateral and depth resolution of the methods were used to gain complementary information on the structure of the materials. Radiation damage caused by the electron beam during ESEM investigation was studied by Raman global imaging. 相似文献

Photosynthesis stores solar light as chemical energy and efficiency of this process is highly important. The electrons required for CO2 reduction are extracted from water in a reaction driven by light-induced charge separations in the Photosystem II reaction center and catalyzed by the CaMn4O5-cluster. This cyclic process involves five redox intermediates known as the S0–S4 states. In this study, we quantify the flash-induced turnover efficiency of each S state by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Measurements were performed in photosystem II membrane preparations from spinach in the presence of an exogenous electron acceptor at selected temperatures between −10 °C and +20 °C and at flash frequencies of 1.25, 5 and 10 Hz. The results show that at optimal conditions the turnover efficiencies are limited by reactions occurring in the water oxidizing complex, allowing the extraction of their S state dependence and correlating low efficiencies to structural changes and chemical events during the reaction cycle. At temperatures 10 °C and below, the highest efficiency (i.e. lowest miss parameter) was found for the S1 → S2 transition, while the S2 → S3 transition was least efficient (highest miss parameter) over the whole temperature range. These electron paramagnetic resonance results were confirmed by measurements of flash-induced oxygen release patterns in thylakoid membranes and are explained on the basis of S state dependent structural changes at the CaMn4O5-cluster that were determined recently by femtosecond X-ray crystallography. Thereby, possible “molecular errors” connected to the e− transfer, H+ transfer, H2O binding and O2 release are identified.Temperature dependence of the transition inefficiencies (misses) for the water oxidation process in photosystem II were studied by EPR spectroscopy and are explained on the basis of S state dependent structural changes at the CaMn4O5-cluster. 相似文献
