The results showed that, both the peak heights (at 2=193 nm) of the CD spectra of the samples treated by microwave irradiation and water bath reduced. The reduced rate by microwave irradiation ranged from 140% to 220%, while the reduced rate by water bath ranged from 60% to 140%. The peak of the sample treated by microwave irradiation for 60 min disappeared at λ=193 nm, while the sample showed a wake peak by water bath. The peak position by microwave irradiation emerged a blue shift in the range of 5-8 nm at λ=204 nm and λ=220 nm, while it emerged in the range of 3-5 nm by water bath. With time going on, the microwave irradiation and water bath have prompted the secondary structure of α-helix, β-sheet, β-turn and the mutual transformations of random coil, but the trends were different.展开更多

The 4-methoxylsalicylalde hyde rhodamine B bydrazone Cd(Ⅱ) complex displayed unusual ring-open response upon 365 nm UV irradiation, exhibiting long photochromic lifetime and good fatigue resistance. The UV-induced ring-open of the complex led to a distinct color and fluorescence change in acetonitrile. A new mechanism was put forward: salicylaldehyde part in the complex underwent UV-promoted isomerization from enol-form to keto-form, enhancing the chelation of Cd(Ⅱ) and yielding the ring-opening rhodamine B part. Compared to other reported photochromic systems, this new photochromic material offered attractive new insights into the development of low cost photochromic materials with good performance.展开更多

In all the titania/RGO composites, the TiO2 nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on the surface of the RGO. The TiO2 consisted of anatase phase particles in the form of square-plates with edges less than 10 nm and the rutile phase nanorods in diameters less than 10 nm. The performances of the as-prepared TiO2/RGO composites were investigated on catalytically degrading phenol under visible light irradiation. The TiO2/RGO composites can effectively degrade phenol under visible light irradiation, and the phase composition of TiO2 in the composites significantly influences the activities of these catalysts.展开更多
