摘要:Using 2-phenylpyridine (ppy) as main ligand and 4-(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl)-N-(4-(3,6-di-tert-butyl- 9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)-N-(4-(5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)phenyl)aniline (CPPOA) as auxiliary ligand, a dendrimeric cationic iridium (Ⅲ) complex [(ppy)2Ir(CPPOA)]PF6 was synthesized. The complex showed high aggregation-induced emission (AIE) activity. The solutions of the complex in mixed solvents of CH3CN/H2O (1.0×10-5 mol/L) emitted orange-red light via photoluminescence (PL) when fw≥50% (fw: water fraction), and the PL intensities enhanced with the increasing of fw. Moreover, the quantum yields correspondingly increased from 2.6% (fw=50%) to 50.7% (fw=90%), and further increased to 54.7% in solid powders. It was successfully used for visualizing and detecting latent fingerprints via a simple powder dusting method, resultantly, the first, second, and third level fingerprint details all were clear and distinguishable.
摘要:Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is an ideal material for the fabrication of flexible piezoelectric devices, and the preparation of PVDF nanofiber membranes with high β-phase content can significantly enhance their piezoelectric properties. This study focuses on the impact of the key electrospinning parameters on the morphology and piezoelectric performance of PVDF nanofiber membranes. The experimental findings reveal that the concentration of the polymer solution and the solvent composition significantly influence the rheological properties of the spinning solution. Furthermore, the electrospinning voltage, flow rate, and collection device dictate the morphological transformation and deposition process of the spinning solution within the electric field. Optimal fiber morphology and the highest β-phase content (63.65%), along with excellent piezoelectric performance characterized by an output voltage of 2.2 V, were achieved when utilizing a mixed solvent of DMF and acetone with a mass ratio of 6∶4, a 12% mass fraction of PVDF powder, an electrospinning voltage of 18 kV, a spinning solution flow rate of 0.4 mL/h, and a 5 cm diameter drum as the collection device. This research not only provides detailed parameter guidance for the preparation of PVDF nanofiber membranes but also furnishes significant scientific evidence and technical support for their application in high-performance piezoelectric devices.
摘要:A lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material of Li1.2Mn0.54Co0.13Ni0.13O2 (LMO) was prepared by using sol-gel method. Subsequently, surface modification of LMO is achieved through S2- doping and Cu9S5 coating using thioacetamide and copper nitrate as raw materials, via a solvothermal process combined with high-temperature calcination. The results indicate that substituting O2- with S2-, which has a weaker electronegativity and larger ionic radius, can induce oxygen vacancies in the LMO structure and adjust the electronic cloud distribution of transition metal elements within the structure. The high electronic conductivity of the Cu9S5 coating layer effectively alleviates the issues caused by S2- doping and suppresses interfacial side reactions. After modification, the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material with 1% Cu9S5 coating and S2- doping (1%CS@LMOS) exhibits the highest initial discharge specific capacity (290.6 mAh /g) and initial Coulombic efficiency (84.07%), excellent rate performance (151 mAh/g at 5 C) and cycling stability (92.76%, capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C). In addition, the apparent lithium ion diffusion rate of 1%CS@LMOS during charge and discharge processes is significantly higher than that of the unmodified material. This modification method effectively improves the electrochemical performance of lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials.

摘要:Based on the low-cost viscose fiber precursors produced in industrial production, a P, O co-doped viscose-based activated carbon fiber was prepared using ultrasonic-assisted phosphoric acid activation technology, which achieving synchronous construction of nanopores and surface chemical structure during the activation process. The specific surface area and total pore volume of activated carbon fibers treated by 15% phosphoric acid reached 1 184.51 m2/g and 0.60 cm3/g, respectively. The surface oxygen and phosphorus atom relative percentages reached 15.25% and 0.99%, respectively. The research results indicate that its coupling effect of rich nanopore structure and oxygen/phosphorus surface groups enable the physical/chemical synergistic adsorption of hydrogen gas. This material achieves a mass hydrogen storage density of 2.19% under ambient conditions of 77 K and 100 kPa. Hydrogen adsorption of this activated carbon fiber belongs to a typical Type Ⅰ adsorption, and the fitting analysis results prove that the Langmuir (N=3) model, which divides the nanopore interface into three categories of non-polar, weakly polar and strongly polar, has the best fitting effect on the hydrogen adsorption process under atmospheric pressure conditions.

摘要:The reaction mechanism of 4-hydroxyproline (4-Hyp) and hydroxyl radical (OH·) was studied by using M06-2X and MN15 methods of density functional theory, combined with SMD model method to deal with aqueous solvent effect under physiological environment (310.15 K, 1.013×105 Pa, aqueous liquid phase). It is found that the reaction of OH· and 4-Hyp has three channels: H extraction, unsaturated C addition and single electron transfer. The theoretical calculation shows that the H extraction reaction has significant advantages. The H extraction energy barrier of OH· and 4-Hyp ranges from 5.3 to 36.0 kJ/mol, and the reaction is accompanied by exothermic effect (the process allowed by thermodynamics). The energy barrier of OH· addition to 4-Hyp unsaturated C is 77.7 kJ/mol, and the reaction is weakly endothermic. The energy barrier of 4-Hyp single electron transfer to OH· is 248.5 kJ/mol. The results show that 4-Hyp can easily eliminate OH· radical by providing H atom in physiological environment.

摘要:Global warming induced by greenhouse gas emissions will lead to the intensification of the water cycle and the increase of flood risk. It is of great significance to quantify the differences in the evolution of future floods and the time of emergence (TOE) of extreme floods under different emission scenarios. Using the annual maximum daily runoff as the flood indicator, we investigated the changes in future floods under different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), predicted the TOE of extreme floods based on Bootstrap, and developed an attribution framework to explore the dominant factors of future flood changes. The results showed that under the high-emission fossil fuel development pathway (SSP5-8.5), 19.7% of the global landmass (except Antarctica, Greenland, and desert regions) would experience extreme floods, with a median TOE of 2048; while under the low-emission sustainable development pathway (SSP1-2.6), the share of the global region experiencing extreme floods would decrease to 10.6%, and the median TOE would be delayed to 2067. Extreme floods were likely to occur in northern North America, eastern Russia, the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau in China, etc. Rainfall played a dominant role in flood changes in most basins, with a predominantly positive contribution to flood changes. The results suggest that only by effectively controlling greenhouse gas emissions and delaying global warming can the emergence of extreme floods be reduced and delayed.

摘要:This study took Wuhan section of the Yangtze River as the research area, and established the typical air pollutants emissions inventory of ships in 2019. Two methods were adopted for the calculation of emissions, which were based on automatic identification system (AIS) data and ship turnover amount respectively. It was found that the former estimation results were more in line with the real situation of Wuhan. The emissions of SO2, NOx, CO, PM10, PM2.5 and VOCs from ships are 183.0, 12 003.5, 1 727.0, 1 505.2, 1 442.0 and 359.6 t respectively. The proportion of pollutant emissions from ordinary cargo ships is the highest, with SO2, NOx, CO, PM10, PM2.5, and VOCs accounting for 92.9%, 90.8%,94.7%, 85.1%, 85.0%, and 87.6% of the total emissions from ships, respectively. January, August and September are the peak periods for ship pollutants emissions.
摘要:Corn straw ash (CSA) and corn straw biochar (CSB) were produced from agricultural waste corn straw through natural incineration and oxygen separation pyrolysis techniques. CSA and CSB were added to the soil (S) at a mass fraction of 1% to form S-CSA and S-CSB, respectively. A comprehensive investigation was conducted to analyze the adsorption performances and mechanisms of glyphosate by absorbents (S, S-CSA, S-CSB). The results show that the adsorption capacity of glyphosate by S-CSA decreases, while the adsorption capacity of glyphosate by S-CSB increases compared with S. Notably, the adsorption capacity of S-CSB is 15.22 times as higher as that of S-CSA by the same mass of corn straw, and the return of corn straw to the field in the form of biochar is more conducive to the adsorption of glyphosate by the soil. The adsorption processes of glyphosate by adsorbents conform to the quasi-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir monolayer chemisorption model, and the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. The increase in glyphosate adsorption by S-CSB is due to the amplified specific surface area and oxygen-containing functional groups. In contrast, the decrease in glyphosate adsorption by S-CSA is attributed to the enhancement of electrostatic repulsion and phosphate competition.
摘要:The enzymatic hydrolysis of the ethanol extracts from Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa leaves was carried out by snailase. In order to reveal the effect of snailase on the biological activity of the extracts, the differences of in vitro and in vivo activities of the samples before and after enzymatic hydrolysis were compared. And the composition changes were analyzed by ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). The results showed that the enzymatic hydrolyzed ethanol extracts of Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa leaves had better antioxidant activity both in vitro and in vivo, and had significant neuroprotective effect. UPLC-MS analysis and Spearman correlation analysis showed that enzymatic hydrolysis mainly affected the content of flavonoids, organic acids, phenylpropanes, carbohydrates and other compounds. The biological activity was positively correlated with the content of flavonoid aglycones, dihydroxybenzoic acid, simple phenylpropanoids and saccharic acid. It is speculated that snailase can increase the content of active ingredients by breaking the glucoside bonds of compounds in Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa leaves, so as to improve the biological activity.

摘要:The animal behavioral sensitization model was constructed to analyze the effects of arecoline on exercise tolerance,metabolite accumulation, oxygen transport protein levels, liver glycogen, muscle glycogen, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels of muscles and liver tissues, the level of central neurotransmitters, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability in swimming mice, and the synergistic effects of sensitization treatment and different administration routes (oral sustained-release and gavage) on the anti-fatigue activity of arecoline were explored. The results show that arecoline can prolong the exhaustive swimming time of mice, among which the group of oral sustained-release administration and behavioral sensitization was extremely significant longer than that of other groups (P<0.01). Arecoline exerts anti-fatigue effects by effectively reducing the accumulation of metabolite such as blood lactate, MDA and blood urea nitrogen in swimming mice, alleviating the decrease in hemoglobin (Hb) and dopamine (DA) levels, inhibiting the depletion of muscle glycogen and liver glycogen, hindering the increase in the ratio of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) to DA in the brain, enhancing the permeability of BBB, and reducing the inhibition of 5-HT on the excitatory of brain. The above indicators of the sensitized mice can be improved by oral sustained-release administration, indicating that chewing areca nut can better exert the anti-fatigue activity.
