Graphitic carbon nitride （g-C3N4）. as an attractive metal-free photocatalyst, has drawn worldwide research interest in the area of solar energy conversion due to its easy synthesis, earth-abundant nature, physicochemical stability and visible-light-responsive properties. Over the past ten years, g-C3N4 based photocatalysts have experienced intensive exploration, and great progress has been achieved. However, the solar conversion efficiency is still far from industrial applications due to the wide bandgap, severe charge recombination, and lack of surface active sites. Many strategies have been proposed to enhance the light absorption, reduce the recombination of charge carriers and accelerate the surface kinetics. This work makes a crucial review about the main contributions of various strategies to the light harvesting, charge separation and surface kinetics of g-C3N4 photocatalyst. Furthermore, the evaluation measurements for the enhanced light harvesting, reduced charge recombination and accelerated surface kinetics will be discussed. In addition, this review proposes future trends to enhance the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4 photocatalyst for the solar energy conversion.展开更多

文摘Cobalt-free oxides GdxBal-xFeO3-σas（0.01 _〈 x _〈 0.1 ） were achieved by a solid state reaction method. It is found that GdxBal-xFeO3-σas（0.025 _〈 x _〈 0.1） exhibits the cubic perovskite structure. Among GdxBal-xFeO3-σas （0.025 -〈 x -〈 0.1 ）, the GdxBal-xFeO3-σas （GBF2.5） membrane shows the outstanding phase structure stability and the highest oxygen permeation, which can reach 1.44 ml. cm- 2. rain- 1 at 950 ℃ under air/He oxygen partial pressure gradient. The GBF2.5 membrane was successfully operated for more than 100 h at 800 ℃ and the oxygen permeation flux through the membrane is 0.62 ml. cm- 2. rain- 1. After 100 h oxygen permeation experiment at 800℃, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer （EDXS） demonstrate that the GBF2.5 exhibits phase structure stability even at intermediate temoerature.

文摘In order to investigate the expression of glycerol-3 -phosphate dehydrogenase by GCY1 gene in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae, induction culture of the S. cerevisiaestrain was performed with SD-URA 2% galactose, 3 × YP ＋ 6% glucose, SC-URA 2% galactose, and SC-URA 2% galactose ＋ 5% NaCI glyeerol-3-phosphate dehydregenase, the cultured S. cerevisiaewas comminuted followed by full-automatic high-speed purification, and SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis was performed for molecular weight of the GST fusion protein. The results showed that after shaking culture of the S. cerevisiae containing GCY1 at 25 ℃, the OD values of its 3 × YP ＋ 6% glucose culture and SC-URA 2% galaetose ＋ 5% NaC1 culture were 8.75 and 7.35, respectively. It was shown by purification with a Profinia low-pressure liquid chromatograph that only the S. cerevisiae cultured in SC-URA 2% galactose ＋ 5% NaC1 medium expressed glycerel-3-phosphate de- hydrogenase, the molecular weight of which was detected as 65 ku by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis.
