This study describes the use of a carbon fiber microelectrode modified with a tetrasulfonated nickel phthalocyanine complex for the detection of MNP at a lower potential than that of direct phenol oxidation. The MNP voltammogram showed the presence of an anodic peak at -0.11 V vs SCE, corresponding to the oxidation of the hydroxylamine group generated after the reduction of the nitro group. The effect of buffer pH on the peak current and SWV parameters such as frequency, scan increment, and pulse amplitude were studied and optimized to have better electrochemical response of the proposed sensor. With these optimal parameters, the calibration curve shows that the peak current varied linearly as a function of MNP concentration, leading to a limit of detection (LoD) of 1.1 μg/L. These results show an appreciable sensitivity of the sensor for detecting the MNP at relatively low potentials, making it possible to avoid passivation phenomena.展开更多

The effects of manganese partial substitution and different carbon content coating on the surface of LiFePO 4 were considered. The structures and electrochemical properties of the samples were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry (CV), charge/discharge tests at different current densities, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The electrochemical properties of LiFePO 4 cathodes with x wt.% carbon coating (x= 3, 7, 11, 15) at =0.2C, 2C (1C= 170 mAh·g 1 ) between 2.5 and 4.3 V were investigated. The measured results mean that the LiFePO 4 with 7 wt.% carbon coating shows the best rate performance. The discharge capacity of LiFe 0.98 Mn 0.02 PO 4 /C composite is found to be 165 mAh·g 1 at a discharge rate, = 0.2C, and 105 mAh·g 1 at =2C, respectively. After 10 cycles, the discharge capacity has rarely fallen, while that of the pristine LiFePO 4 /C cathode is 150 mAh·g 1 and 98 mAh·g 1 at =0.2 and 2C, respectively. Compared to the discharge capacities of both electrodes above, the evident improvement of the electrochemical performance is observed, which is ascribed to the enhancement of the electronic conductivity and diffusion kinetics by carbon coating and Mn 2+-substitution.展开更多

It is shown that hydration mechanism of the composites is chemical reaction control at 44.3 ℃-84 ℃ in H2O（g）. The hydration was controlled by diffusion from 24.7 ℃ to 33 ℃. The ratio of added Mg/Al influences the HMOR of the composites.The mechanism of HMOR of the composites with different ratios of Mg/Al can be discovered by means of SEM analysis. The active Mg/Al powder and flake graphite inside give the composites outstanding hot strength resulting from the interlocking structure of Al4C3 crystals at high temperature. Besides, the matrix changes into the Al4C3 with high refractoriness. The method of preventing the hydration of tabular alumina carbon composites reinforced by Al4C3 in situ reaction was immersed in the wax at suitable temperature or storing them below 33 ℃ in a dry place or storing them with paraffin-coating.展开更多

Besides, rational arrays structure design can effectively enhance the utilization of active material. In this article, we synthesis a porous NiCo_2O_4 nanowires arrays, which were intimate contact with flexible carbon cloth（CC）by a facile hydrothermal reaction and calcination treatment. The rational array structures of NiCo_2O_4 facilitate the diffusion of electrolyte and effectively increase the utilization of active material. The asobtained NiCo_2O_4@CC electrode exhibits a high capacitance of 1183 mF cm^（-2） and an outstanding capacitance retention of 90.4% after 3000 cycles. Furthermore, a flexible asymmetric supercapacitor（ASC）using NiCo_2O_4@CC as positive electrode and activated carbon cloth（ACC） as negative electrode was fabricated, which delivers a large capacitance of 750 mF cm^（-2）（12.5 F cm^（-3））, a high energy density of 0.24 mWh cm^（-2）（3.91 mWh cm^（-3））, as well as excellent cycle stability under different bending states.These remarkable results suggest that as-assembled NiCo_2O_4@CC//ACC ASC is a promising candidate in flexible energy storage applications.展开更多

[Methods] Normal human hepatocyte cell line L-02 cells were cultured in vitro,and CCl_4 was used to induce hepatocellular injury. Interventions were carried out with Saikosaponin d and Baicalin at different dosage. The proliferation of L-02 cells in each group was determined by methylthiazolyl tetrazolium( MTT) assay; the levels of AST and ALT in the culture supernatants were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay( ELISA); the expressions of TLR4 and NFκBp65 proteins in each group were determined by immunohistochemistry.[Results] In the CCl_4 injured group,the proliferation of L-02 cells was significantly declined,the levels of AST and ALT in cell culture medium were significantly increased,and the expressions of TLR4 and NFκBp65 in L-02 cells were increased; after the intervention of Saikosaponin d and Baicalin,1. 75 μg/mL group and 1. 5 μg/mL group had an effect of promoting the proliferation of L-02 cells and could reduce the levels of AST and ALT in the cell culture medium,and TLR4 and NFκBp65 proteins in L-02 cells also had a certain inhibitory effect. [Conclusions] The compatibility of Saikosapon d and Baicalin has a certain protective effect on CCl_4 injured L-02 cells. The protection mechanism may be related with its down-regulating TLR4-NFκB signaling pathway and reducing the inflammation.展开更多
