Co9S8 as a catalyst for electroreduction of O2: quantum chemistry predictions

The slab band quantum computational approach in the Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP) is used to calculate the adsorption energies of reactants, reaction intermediates, and products in O2 reduction and in water oxidation in acid on three crystallographic surfaces of pentlandite structure Co9S8. Reversible potentials for the reaction steps involving electron and proton transfer are determined by using the energies in a linear Gibbs free energy relationship. On the basis of these results, we find that the partially OH-covered (202) surface is active toward O2 reduction and should have overpotential behavior similar to that observed for platinum electrodes. One structure in the predicted four-electron reduction mechanism is novel: S2- provides an adsorption site for O following O-O bond scission, which, unlike the case of platinum electrodes, takes place prior to the first reduction step.     

Amino modified mesostructured silica nanoparticles for efficient adsorption of methylene blue

In this work, mesostructured silica nanoparticles (MSN(AP)) with high adsorptivity were prepared by a modification with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) as a pore expander. The performance of the MSN(AP) was tested by the adsorption of MB in a batch system under varying pH (2-11), adsorbent dosage (0.1-0.5gL(-1)), and initial MB concentration (5-60mgL(-1)). The best conditions were achieved at pH 7 when using 0.1gL(-1) MSN(AP) and 60mgL(-1)MB to give a maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 500.1mgg(-1) at 303K. The equilibrium data were evaluated using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Harkins-Jura isotherms and fit well to the Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption kinetics was best described by the pseudo-second order model. The results indicate the potential for a new use of mesostructured materials as an effective adsorbent for MB.     

Antibacterial Activity of a Novel Oligosaccharide from Streptomyces californics against Erwinia carotovora subsp. Carotovora

The present study aims to characterize and predict models for antibacterial activity of a novel oligosaccharide from Streptomyces californics against Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and an artificial neural network. The mathematical predication models were used to determine the optimal conditions to produce oligosaccharide and determine the relationship between the factors (pH, temperature, and time). The characteristics of the purified antibacterial agent were determined using ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV/Vis), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H- and ¹³C-NMR), and mass spectrometry (MS). The best performances for the model were 39.45 and 35.16 recorded at epoch 1 for E. carotovora Erw₅ and E. carotovora EMCC 1687, respectively. The coefficient (R²) of the training was more than 0.90. The highest antimicrobial production was recorded after 9 days at 25 °C and a pH of 6.2, at which more than 17 mm of the inhibition zone was obtained. The mass spectrum of antimicrobial agent (peak at R.T. = 3.433 of fraction 6) recorded two molecular ion peaks at m/z = 703.70 and m/z = 338.30, corresponding to molecular weights of 703.70 and 338.30 g/mol, respectively. The two molecular ion peaks matched well with the molecular formulas C₂₉H₅₃NO₁₈ and C₁₄H₂₆O₉, respectively, which were obtained from the elemental analysis result. A novel oligosaccharide from Streptomyces californics with potential activity against E. carotovora EMCC 1687 and E. carotovora Erw₅ was successfully isolated, purified, and characterized.     

高考改革背景下CAP课程的建设与实践

介绍了中国大学先修课程(CAP)的概念、缘由和价值。以简明有机化学为例,阐述了一门CAP课程具体的建设过程与运行情况。CAP课程改善了高中和大学部分课程的衔接,CAP制度的建设与有效实施有助于传播先进的教学理念和优质教学资源的共享,同时多角度的学习能力考评便于新高考模式下辅助高校进行人才选拔。CAP课程体系建设是新时期教学改革发展的必然趋势,但目前还存在CAP课程成绩的权威性、成绩和学分互认困难、高中师资不足、学生学业负担增加等问题。教育部门进行顶层设计,由专业领域具有权威的第三方机构来提供课程运行管理、考试评价服务和师资培训服务是可行做法。     

The maximum potential a PEM fuel cell cathode experiences due to the formation of air/fuel boundary at the anode

In this short communication, a misconception about the maximum potential a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) cathode experiences due to the formation of fuel/air boundary at the anode during startup/shutdown is clarified. It is shown, conceptually, that the maximum potential experienced by a cathode in PEMFC under such condition is about twice the potential observed when one connects a driving fuel cell to a driven cell (electrolyzer), both of which having the same physical characteristics and operating under the same conditions.
