Here, we studied the evaporation rate of the CNT-based membranes with different hydrophilic and hydrophobic chemical modified surfaces using molecular dynamic simulations.We found that the hydrogen bonding density among water molecules at the interface is a key factor in enhancing the evaporation rate. For a hydrophilic CNT-based membrane, the strong interactions between the membrane outer surface and the water molecules can destroy the water-water hydrogen bonding interactions at the interface, resulting in the reduction of the hydrogen bonding density, leading to an enhancement effect in evaporation rate. We also found that there is an optimal thickness for evaporation membrane. These findings could provide some theoretical guidance for designing and exploring advanced CNT-based systems with more beneficial performance in water desalination.展开更多

文摘The kinetic of low-temperature carrier and lattice of lead-halide perovskite is yet to be fully understood.In this work,we investigate the steady-state photoluminescences(PLs)of CsPbI_(3)at the environmental temperature(Te)ranging from 20 K to 300 K,and observed anomalous behaviors at cryogenic temperatures:The carrier temperature(Tc)of pure CsPbI_(3)exhibits a negative correlation with Te,accompanied by an expansion in Urbach tails of absorption spectra(Abs.)and excessive red-shifts at peak energy of PLs.These phenomena are also observed in those samples containing a certain amount of Cs_(4)PbI_(6),but to a lesser extent and occurs at lower temperatures.It is attributed to the intensified hot phonon bottleneck effect(HPB)in CsPbI_(3)at cryogenic Te,which hinders the energy transfer from hot carriers,via longitudinal optics(LO)phonons to longitudinal acoustic(LA)phonons,to the ambient.For samples under continuous-wave laser excitation,in specific,the barrier induced by the enhanced HPB at low Teprevents the effective thermalization among carriers,LO and LA phonons,which,therefore,form thermally isolated ensembles with different temperatures.At cryogenic Terange,the elevated temperatures of carrier and LO phonon expand the high-energy side of PLs and the low-energy tail of Abs.,respectively.For those samples in which the CsPbI_(3)is mixed with Cs_(4)PbI_(6),the interfacial LO-LO interaction across them provides a bypass for heat dissipation,mitigating the heat accumulation in LO-phonons of CsPbI_(3).The results suggest that a strong HPB effect may break the thermal equilibrium among different branches of phonons in the lattice under certain extreme conditions.

文摘Advancing and deploying the Fe Ni-based catalyst,the state-of-the-art pre-electrocatalysts,for oxygen evolution reactions(OER)still suffer from unclear chemical state correlation to the catalytic ability,as evidenced by the variedly reported performance for the different Fe Ni structures.Herein,we contributed the phase and redox chemical states tuning of Fe Ni oxides by the surface microenvironment regulation for the OER catalysis that was realized by the urea-assisted pyrolysis and molybdenum-doping technique by integrating molybdenum into the iron–nickel metal-organic precursor.Driven by the complicated and compromised atmosphere,namely,the oxidation state driven by the Mo doping and reduction ability induced by the urea-assisted pyrolysis,could transfer confined Fe Ni oxides to hybrid phases of Fe_(2)O_(3)and FeNi_(3)alloy,and the resultant compromised chemical states by the charge redistribution imparted very high electrocatalytic performance for OER compared with the control samples.The insitu Raman spectroscopy and post-XPS analysis confirmed the facile Fe/Ni oxyhydroxide active phase formation resulting from the proper phase and chemical states,and theoretical analysis disclosed the microenvironment regulation resulting in the charge redistribution forming the electron accumulation and depletion sites to accelerate the oxygen-species to oxyhydroxide-species transformation and enhance the electronic state density near the Fermi level by significantly reducing the energy barrier.The work not only showed the importance of surface chemical state tunning that can basically answer the varied performance of Fe Ni catalysts but also revealed an effective approach for fine-tuning their catalytic properties.

文摘The isolation of circulating tumor cells(CTCs)from complex biological samples is of paramount signifi-cance for advancing cancer diagnosis,prognosis,and treatment.However,the low concentration of CTCs and nonspecific adhesion of white blood cells(WBCs)present challenges that hinder the efficiency and purity of captured CTCs.Microfluidic-based strategies utilize precise fluid control at the micron level to incorporate specific micro/nanostructures or recognition molecules,enabling effective CTCs separation.Moreover,by employing surface modification designs that exhibit exceptional anti-adhesion properties against WBCs,the purity of isolated CTCs can be further enhanced.This review offers an in-depth explo-ration of recent advancements,challenges,and opportunities associated with microfluidic-based CTCs iso-lation from biological samples.Firstly,we will comprehensively introduce the microfluidic-based strate-gies for achieving high-efficiency CTCs isolation,which includes the morphological design of microchan-nels for physical force-based CTCs isolation and the specific modification of microchannel surfaces for affinity-based CTCs isolation.Subsequently,a review of recent research advances in microfluidic-based high-purity CTCs isolation is presented,focusing on strategies that decrease the nonspecific adhesion of WBCs through surface micro-/nanostructure construction or chemical and biological modification.Finally,we will summarize the article by providing the prospective opportunities and challenges for the future development of microfluidic-based CTCs isolation.

文摘The capture of circulating tumor cells(CTCs)is of great significance in reducing cancer mortality and complications.However,the nonspecific binding of proteins and white blood cells(WBCs)weakens the targeting capabilities of the capture surfaces,which critically hampers the efficiency and purity of the captured CTCs.Herein,we propose a liquid-like interface design strategy that consists of liquid-like polymer chains and anti-EpCAM modification processes for high-purity and high-efficiency capture of CTCs.The dynamic flexible feature of the liquid-like chains endows the modified surfaces with excellent antiadhesion property for proteins and blood cells.The liquid-like surfaces can capture the target CTCs and show high cell viability due to the environmentfriendly surface modification processes.When liquid-like surface designs were introduced in the deterministic lateral displacement(DLD)-patterned microfluidic chip,the nonspecific adhesion rate of WBCs was reduced by more than fivefold compared to that in the DLD chip without liquid-like interface design,while maintaining comparable capture efficiency.Overall,this strategy provides a novel perspective on surface design for achieving high purity and efficient capture of CTCs.

文摘A large surface area with high active site exposure is desired for the nano-scaled electrocatalysts fabrica-tion.Herein,taking NiMoO_(4)nanorods for example,we demonstrated the advantages of the microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method compared to the traditional hydrothermal approaches.Both monoclinic structured NiMoO_(4)in the nanorods morphology are found for these samples but it is more time-saving and efficient in the Ni-Mo synergism for the catalyst obtained by microwave-assisted hydrothermal syntheses method.When evaluated for urea oxidation,the current density can reach 130.79 mA/cm^(2)at 1.54 V,about 2.4 times higher than that of the counterpart catalyst(54.08 mA/cm^(2)).Moreover,largely improved catalytic stability,catalytic kinetics and rapid charge transfer ability are found on the catalyst obtained by the microwave-assisted approach.The high catalytic performance can be at-tributed to the high surface area and active site exposure of NiMoO_(4)nanorods formed by microwave irradiation.Considering the less time,facile synthesis condition and efficient components synergism,the microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method might work better for the nanostructure electrocata-lysts fabrication.

文摘Carbon nanotube-based(CNT-based) interfacial evaporation material is one of the most potential materials for solar desalination. Here, we studied the evaporation rate of the CNT-based membranes with different hydrophilic and hydrophobic chemical modified surfaces using molecular dynamic simulations.We found that the hydrogen bonding density among water molecules at the interface is a key factor in enhancing the evaporation rate. For a hydrophilic CNT-based membrane, the strong interactions between the membrane outer surface and the water molecules can destroy the water-water hydrogen bonding interactions at the interface, resulting in the reduction of the hydrogen bonding density, leading to an enhancement effect in evaporation rate. We also found that there is an optimal thickness for evaporation membrane. These findings could provide some theoretical guidance for designing and exploring advanced CNT-based systems with more beneficial performance in water desalination.

文摘Catheterization is indispensable in the field of modern medicine.However,catheter-related thrombosis and infections almost inevitably occur during the process,and as drugs can only be administered at the end of catheter,auxiliary strategies are required for successful implantation.Considering these intractable limitations,a type of self-adaptive,anti-coagulate liquidbased fibrous catheter has been developed.More importantly,it has positional drug release property that traditional catheters desperately need but couldn’t attain.Although enlightening,the feasibility and performance of the positional drug release have only been demonstrated by fluorescents,the specific drug release kinetics remains unknown for adaptation to application scenarios.Therefore,we systematically investigate the structural and interfacial effects of drug molecules and fibrous matrixes on drug release kinetics in a liquid-based fibrous catheter.Theoretical calculations and experiments demonstrate that oleophilic and hydrophilic molecules release slowly due to a dissolution-diffusion mechanism.Amphipathic molecules,however,will significantly affect the gating performance by affecting the interfacial stability,hence they release quickly with emulsifying the gating liquid.Besides the significant impact of molecular properties and interfacial effects,matrix pore size also has a slight influence that molecules release faster in bigger pores.Through this study,the liquid-based fibrous catheter may step further toward practical applications including chemotherapy,haemodialysis,angiography,etc.to overcome the existing catheter-related limitations.
