Determination of trace amounts of silver with a chemically modified carbon paste electrode

A method for the determination of trace amounts of silver with a chemically modified carbon paste electrode is described. The modified electrode is prepared by simply mixing a chelating resin (a polythioether backbone and dioxymonosulphur polyethylene polyimines in the side-chain polymer) with graphite powder and Nujol oil. By immersing the electrode in a silver sample solution (pH = 6.5–7.5), silver can be adsorbed on the electrode surface and then determined by voltammetry in a separate blank solution. The response depends on the concentration of silver and the preconcentration time. For a preconcentration time of 5 min, the detection limit is about 3 × 10^?10 M and the linear range is from 5 × 10^?10 to 1 × 10^?7 M with a relative standard deviation of 4%. Many common metal ions have no or little effect on the determination of silver. The recommended procedure was applied to the determination of trace amounts of silver in waste water.

Mechanism and Cellular Kinetic Studies of the Enhancement of Antioxidant Activity by Using Surface‐Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles

The enhanced antioxidant activity of surface‐functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) synthesized by self‐assembly has attracted great attention, but little is known about the mechanism behind the enhanced activity. To address this challenge, the antioxidant activity of Au@PEG3SA (i.e., surface‐functionalization of spherical AuNPs with the antioxidant salvianic acid A) was used as an example to illustrate the mechanism of the enhanced activity. Evaluation of the antioxidant activity was performed in a radical‐scavenging reaction between Au@PEG3SA and 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. As expected, the rate constant for the reaction of Au@PEG3SA with DPPH was about nine times greater than that for the salvianic acid A monomer. A comparative analysis of the spectral characteristics of Au@PEG3SA and the salvianic acid A monomer further imply that the enhancement of the antioxidative reaction kinetics may be ascribed to the variation in the transition state for the DPPH‐radical scavenging reaction through π–π stacking interactions between and among adjacent groups on the surface of Au@PEG3SA. On the other hand, the kinetic enhancement of Au@PEG3SA on reactive‐oxygen‐species (ROS) scavenging can be observed in living cells and in vivo, which possibly provides new insight for the bioapplication of self‐assembly of surface‐functionalized AuNPs.     

气相传输平衡技术制备LiGaO2薄膜

为获得与GaN薄膜晶格失配小的衬底材料,报道了利用气相传输平衡技术(VTE)在(100)-βGa2O3单晶衬底上制备高度[001]取向LiGaO2薄膜的方法。经过X射线衍射分析表明得到的薄膜是由单相LiGaO2组成。利用扫描电镜(SEM)观察表面形貌,发现经气相传输平衡技术处理得到的薄膜表面形貌主要受温度的影响,表面晶粒尺寸随温度上升而增大。而X射线衍射测试表明随着温度上升,所得到的薄膜也从多晶向单晶化转变。在经过退火处理后,通过观察吸收谱发现LiGaO2薄膜中产生色心,并且色心的种类与温度有关。表明可以通过气相传输平衡技术技术,在远低于LiGaO2熔点的温度制备外延GaN用(001)LiGaO2∥(100)β-Ga2O3复合衬底。

Transport Coefficients of Two-temperature Lithium Plasma for Space Propulsion Applications

Lithium has been proposed as an attractive metal propellant for advanced electric propulsion. In our current work, transport coefficients including the viscosity, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity of lithium plasma under both the equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions are calculated based on a two-temperature model. The collision integrals used in calculating the transport coefficients are significantly more accurate than values used in previous theoretical studies, resulting in more reliable values of the transport coefficients. Results are computed for different degrees of thermal non-equilibrium, i.e. the ratio of electron to heavy particle temperatures, from 1 to 15, with the electron temperature ranging from 300 to 60,000 K in a wide pressure range from 0.0001 to 100 atm. We compare our calculated results with existing published results and discrepancies are found and explained.
