The combined effect of curcumin with metformin and metformin with okra seed extract was found to be highly efficacious in inhibiting Advanced Glycation End-products （AGEs）. In order to understand the mechanistic implications of curcumin combined with metformin and its enhanced anti-glycation activity, a Curcumin-Metformin Adduct was chemically synthesized. This adduct was fully characterized by thin-layer chromatography, Nano Drop spectrophotometry and electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry. The adduct may be helpful not only in elucidating the mechanism of anti-glycation and anti-cancer activities but also in studying the role of curcumin in binding of AI3-oligomers and disaggregating fibrillar formation in Alzheimer＇s disease.展开更多

However, these transparent electrodes composed of AgNWs show high haze because the wires cause strong light scattering in the visible range. Reduction of the wire diameter has been proposed as a way to weaken light scattering, although there have seldom been any studies focusing on the haze because of the difficulty involved in controlling the wire diameter. In this report, we show that the haze can be easily reduced by increasing the length of AgNWs with a large diameter. Ultra-long （u-long） AgNWs with lengths in the range of 20-100 μm and a maximum length of 230 μm have been successfully synthesized by adjusting the reaction temperature and the stirring speed of a one-step polyol process. Compared to typical AgNWs （with diameter and length of 70 nm and 10 μm, respectively） and ITO, a transparent electrode consisting of u-long AgNWs 91 nm in diameter demonstrated a low haze of 3.4%-1.6% and a low sheet resistance of 24-109 Ω/sq. at a transmittance of 94%-97%. Even when fabricated at room temperature without any post-treatment, the electrodes composed of u-long AgNWs achieved a sheet resistance of 19 Ω/sq, at a transmittance of 80%, which is six orders of magnitude lower than that of typical AgNWs.展开更多

In theory, it can absorb a larger part of the visible spectrum, widening the use of solar spectroscopy and obtaining a higher photo-to-chemical conversion efficiency. In this study, CuW（1-x）MoxO4 thin-film photoanodes on conducting glass were prepared using a simple and low-cost spray pyrolysis method. The resulting CuW（1-x）MoxO4 photoanodes perform higher photocurrent than CuWO4 photoanodes under AM 1.5 G simulated sunlight illumination（100 m W cm^（-2））in 0.1 mol L^（-1） phosphate buffer at pH 7. Combined with IPCE and Mott-Schottky analysis, the enhancement of the photocurrent is due to the improvement of photon utilization and the increase of carrier concentration with the incorporation of Mo atoms. Moreover, with the optimal Mo/W atomic ratio,the photocurrent density increases obviously from 0.07 to 0.46 m A cm^（-2） at 1.23 V（RHE） bias. In addition, compared with particle-assembled thin-film photoanodes prepared by solidphase reaction and drop-necking treatment, the photoanodes prepared by spray pyrolysis have obvious advantages in terms of reducing resistance and facilitating charge transport.展开更多
