The material displayed high visible light photocatalytic activity. X-ray diffraction, field emission transmission electron microscopy, ultra violet/visible light absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used to characterize the material as photoeatalyst. Photocatalytic activity on the degradation of Rhodamine B dye in an aqueous solution under ultraviolet light and visible light irradiation was also studied. The experimental results indicated that the photocatalytic activity of the material was much higher than that of pure TiO2 or Degussa P25 TiO2.展开更多

Spectral properties (absorption and luminescence spectra) of the hybrid nanostructures were investigated. It was established what molecules C60 strongly affected spectral properties of cyanoacrylic acid I in the hybrid nanostructures. Luminescence quenching of fluorophore and a change of luminescence features were observed in the hybrid nanostructures.展开更多

Compared with surface-modified C60 derivatives, reports on the biological effects of unmodified pristine C60 are relatively less. This work aimed to investigate the interaction between baby hamster kidney cells and pristine C60 in solution. The C60 suspension was prepared using solvent exchange method and characterized by UV spectrophotometry, electronic transmission microscopy and dynamic light scattering techniques. The baby hamster kidney cells were incubated with different concentrations of C60 suspensions, and light microscopy, cell counting kit 8 assay, and acridine orange staining were used to observe the cell growth and morphology. The results showed that C60 could ihibit the cell growth and induce cell apoptosis with a dose-effect relationship. C60 might enter cells and the possible way it enters cells were also proposed.展开更多

It is found that β alanine C 60 adducts have an excellent efficiency in eliminating superoxide radical generated from auto oxidation of pyrogallol. At a mass concentration level of 150 μg/mL for β alanine C 60 adducts, the radical scavenging efficiency is approximately equivalent to one enzyme unit, in vitro experiments show that β alanine C 60 adducts can enhance the activity of mouse thymus cells and prolong their life time span. It reveals the potential use of these β alanine C 60 adducts as the novel potent free radical scavengers in biological systems.展开更多
Three water-soluble β-alanine C 60 adducts with different addition numbers, C 60(NHCH 2CH 2COONa) nH n(n=1,5,9), were synthesized.

The antioxida...Three water-soluble β-alanine C 60 adducts with different addition numbers, C 60(NHCH 2CH 2COONa) nH n(n=1,5,9), were synthesized. The products were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The antioxidant activity of these C 60 adducts as the quencher for superoxide anion radical O -· 2 was evaluated by chemiluminescence in the system of pyrogallol-luminol. The results indicate that the three C 60 derivatives are all excellent quencher for superoxide anion radical O -· 2. The concentrations of 50% inhibition are 252, 140, 112 μmol/L respectively. This high efficiency should be attributed to many factors such as the numbers of remaining double bonds, donor effect of amino group and steric effect. However, the above results also suggest the effect of the adducted β-alanine groups is predominated in this system.展开更多
