Single-handed twisted silica nanostructures with pore channels vertical to the wall surfaces were first prepared through a single-templating approach comparing with the reported double template method. The formation mechanism of radial pore structure was studied by transmission electron microscopy at different reaction time intervals, which indicated that the radial pore structure was formed via a structural transition in the sol-gel transcription process.展开更多

文摘A new kind of apatite-type red-emitting Ba_(2)La_(8)(GeO_(4))_(6)O_(2):Eu^(3+)phosphor was prepared by high temperature solid-state method.The Rietveld analysis based on the powder diffraction data shows that Ba_(2)La_(8)(GeO_(4))_(6)O_(2):Eu^(3+)phosphors possess a pure apatite phase without any impurity.The emission spectrum of Ba_(2)La_(8)(GeO_(4))_(6)O_(2):Eu^(3+)phosphor consists of two bands,an orange emission band from 500 to 600 nm and a red emission band from 600 to 680 nm.By varying the amount of the doped europium ions from 0.02 to 0.14 mol,it is found that the luminescent properties of this rare earth phosphor are the best when the concentration of europium ion is 0.08 mol.The optimum concentration is eventually proved to be 0.08 mol.The Eu^(3+)doping dependent luminescence quenching can be further ascribed to dipole-quadrupole interactions.The quantum yield of Ba_(2)La_(7.92)(GeO_(4))_(6)O_(2):0.08 Eu^(3+)is 37.23%.The CIE analysis confirms a reddish emission in the near ultraviolet(n-UV)excitation.All these above properties of the phosphor can help in contribution of promoting white light-emitting diode.

文摘Hierarchical CuO-ZnO/SiO_(2)(CZS)nanofibrous membranes are designed and fabricated to remove Congo red and 4-nitro-phenol two common small molecular pollutants in water.The electrospun SiO_(2) fibrous membrane is serves as the substrate for hydrothermal depositing CuO-ZnO nanosheets.The CZS nanofibrous membrane shows good adsorption characteristics for Congo red due to the hierarchical morphology and the adsorption kinetics where isotherm follows the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model,respectively.The maximum adsorption capacity for Congo red is 141.8 mg/g.Moreover,the membrane exhibits excellent catalytic reduction activity for 4-nitrophenol under mild conditions and over 96%of the pollut-ants are degraded within 90 s.The CZS nanofibrous membrane has promising prospects in applications in water treatment and environmental protection because of the good flexibility,easy fabrication,excellent adsorption,and catalytic activity.

文摘Advanced fabric electronics for long-term personal physiological monitoring,with a self-sufficient energy source,high integrity,sensitivity,wearing comfort,and homogeneous components are urgently desired.Instead of assembling a self-powered biosensor,comprising a variety of materials with different levels of hardness,and supplementing with a booster or energy storage device,herein,an all-fiber integrated thermoelectrically powered physiological monitoring device(FPMD),is proposed and evaluated for production at an industrial scale.For the first time,an organic electrochemical transistor(OECT)biosensor is enabled by thermoelectric fabrics(TEFs)adaptively,sustainably and steadily without any additional accessories.Moreover,both the OECT and TEFs are constructed using a cotton/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfon ate)/dimethylsulfoxide/(3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane(PDG)yarn,which is lightweight,robust(90°bending for 1000 cycles)and sweat-resistant(ΔR/R0=1.9%).A small temperature gradient(ΔT=2.2 K)between the environment and the human body can drive the high-gain OECT(71.08 mS)with high fidelity,and a good signal to noise ratio.For practical applications,the on-body FPMD produced an enduring and steady output signal and demonstrated a linear monitoring region(sensitivity of 30.4 NCR(normalized current response)/dec,10 nM~50µM)for glucose in artificial sweat with reliable performance regarding anti-interference and reproducibility.This device can be expanded to the monitoring of various bio-markers and provides a new strategy for constructing wearable,comfortable,highly integrated and self-powered biosensors.

文摘Fe–N_(x)nanoparticles-embedded porous carbons with a desirable superstructure have attracted immense attention as promising catalysts for electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction.Herein,we employed Fe-coordinated covalent triazine polymer for the fabrication of Fe–N_(x)nanoparticle-embedded porous carbon nanoflorets(Fe/N@CNFs)employing a hypersaline-confinement-conversion strategy.Presence of tailored N types within the covalent triazine polymer interwork in high proportions contributes to the generation of Fe/N coordination and subsequent Fe–N_(x)nanoparticles.Owing to the utilization of NaCl crystals,the resultant Fe/N@CNF-800 which was generated by pyrolysis at 800℃showed nanoflower structure and large specific surface area,which remarkably suppressed the agglomeration of high catalytic active sites.As expect,the Fe/N@CNF-800 exhibited unexpected oxygen reduction reaction catalytic performance with an ultrahigh half-wave potential(0.89 V vs.reversible hydrogen electrode),a dominant 4e–transfer approach and great cycle stability(>92%after 100000 s).As a demonstration,the Fe/N-PCNF-800-assembled zinc–air battery delivered a high open circuit voltage of 1.51 V,a maximum peak power density of 164 mW·cm^(-2),as well as eminent rate performance,surpassing those of commercial Pt/C.This contribution offers a valuable avenue to exploit efficient metal nanoparticles-based carbon catalysts towards energy-related electrocatalytic reactions and beyond.
