They were characterized by etementat anatyses, potentiometric titration, IR, UV, potarography, cyclic vottammetry, X-ray photoelectron spectra, X-ray powder diffraction, thermat analyses and ESR. The results show that the properties of these heteropoty btues are different from those of heteropoty blues with saturated Dawson structure and other tacunary series. They are more stabte than their parent heteropoty acids in aqueous sotution and have the abitity of anti-base decomposition.展开更多

The images of Elvis Presley, who earned the sobriquet ＂King of Rock＂ early in his career, and that of B. B. King, the exemplar extraordinaire of the Blues, are ubiquitous in the city of Memphis, which may be regarded as a metonym for the Blues and Rock ＇n Roll. The byline for the city of Memphis is, ＂Home of the Blues, Birthplace of Rock ＇n Roll＂, and this fact announces itself to the visitor as soon as he/she enters the arrivals concourse of the Memphis International Airport. As one proceeds towards the baggage claims area, the images which saturate the walkway create an aura that is redolent of the city＇s vibrant Rock ＇n Roll era. Drawing on Foucault＇s notion of heterotopias, as well as Jakobson＇s work on metonymy, this paper explores the hybrid musical spatiality of the city of Memphis and its environs, as well as its iconic status in the evolution of Rock ＇n Roll which was engendered by the Blues.展开更多

However, current tagging strategies, due to the presence of exposed highly reactive groups, suffer from drawbacks such as low tagging efficiency or insufficient spatial specificity, thereby diminishing their expected effectiveness. Consequently, there is a pressing need to develop a strategy capable of in situ labeling of active groups in response to cellular or in vivo stimuli, ensuring both high tagging efficiency and spatial specificity. In this work, we devised a strategy for releasing aldehyde groups activated by hypochlorous acid(HOCl). Compounds synthesized through this strategy can release the fiuorophore methylene blue(MB) and aldehyde-based compounds upon HOCl activation. Given high reactivity of the released aldehyde group, it can effectively interact with macromolecules in biological systems, facilitating tagging and enabling prolonged imaging. To validate this concept, we further incorporated a naphthalimide structure with stable light emission to create SW-110. SW-110 can specifically respond to in vitro and endogenous HOCl, when release MB, it also releases naphthalimide fiuorophore with highly reactive aldehyde group for tagging within cells. This strategy provides a simple but efficient strategy for proximity tagging in situ.展开更多

文摘Prussian blue/Prussian blue analogues(PB/PBAs)are widely used in electrochemistry and materials science fields,such as electrochemical energy storage,catalysis,water purification,and electromagnetic wave absorption,owing to their 3D open-framework structure,tunable composition,and large specific surface area.However,the co-precipitation method,which is most suitable for large-scale production of PB/PBAs,often leads to the formation of numerous crystal defects and severe lattice distortion,which significantly affects the structural stability of PB/PBAs.To obtain high-crystallinity PB/PBAs with targeted properties,precise synthesis considering various detailed conditions is especially needed.Herein,this review comprehensively summarizes the fundamental structure composition,key factors in synthesis,and applications in the electrochemistry of PB/PBAs.Unlike previous reports,this review elucidates the relationship between the physicochemical properties of PB/PBAs and their structural composition,with a particular focus on revealing the mechanisms and significance of specific preparation methods during the synthesis process,including reactant concentration,chelating agent,aging,atmosphere,temperature,and drying conditions,for achieving the precise fabrication of PB/PBAs nanomaterials.As PB/PBAs gradually become materials for multidimensional applications,we urge greater attention to the unique properties of PB/PBAs that are sustained by high crystallinity and stable crystal structures.This will effectively ensure the maximization of their advantages in practical applications.

文摘The emission of organic pollutants from the dye industry and medical treatment represents a significant threat to the quality of water resources and human health.The development of green,environmentally friendly and efficient photocatalysts for the removal of organic pollutants from the environment is of paramount importance in addressing these issues.Flower-like lignin-derived carbon(LC)/zinc oxide(ZnO)composites with controllable morphology were synthesized via a direct precipitation method.In this study,alkali lignin was employed as an anionic active agent to alter the molecular arrangement on the liquid surface during the synthesis reaction and to reduce the surface tension between mixtures,thereby forming a special stacked morphology,which was then used for the highly efficient removal of methylidene blue(MB)and tetracycline hydrochloride(TCH)in water under different light conditions.The formation mechanism of LC/ZnO and the degradation characteristics under different reaction conditions were investigated.The loading of LC can form composites with large specific surface area and rich porous structure.In addition,with the help of lignin,the morphology of ZnO was changed from a rod-like structure to a lamellar structure,and LC could effectively reduce the band gap of ZnO,which could improve the electron transfer rate in the photocatalytic process.The·O_(2)^(-)and·OH radicals generated under photoexcitation promoted the decomposition of pollutants.This study presents a simple,economical,and scalable method for the application of photocatalysts and explores new ways for the high-value application of industrial lignin.

文摘Exploring modification methods for enhancing the adsorption performance of biochar-based adsorbents for effective removal of methylene blue(MB),biochar-loaded CeO_(2)nanoparticles(Ce/BC)were synthesized by pomelo peels through co-precipitation combined with the pyrolysis method.Ce/BC showed a higher specific surface area and disorder degree than that of BC.The 0.5Ce/BC(mass ratio of Ce(NO_(3))_(3)·6H_(2)O/BC=0.5/1)showed the best performance to adsorption of MB solution at different reaction conditions(MB concentration,Ce/BC composites dosage,and initial pH).Adsorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherms were well-described with a pseudo-first-order equation and Langmuir model,respectively.In addition,the maximum adsorption capacity of 0.5Ce/BC for MB was 105.68 mg·g^(-1)at 328 K.The strong adsorption was attributed to multi-interactions including pore filling,π-πinteractions,electrostatic interaction,and hydrogen bonding between the composites and MB.This work demonstrated that the modified pomelo peels biochar,as a green promising material with cost-effectiveness,exhibited a great potential for broad application prospectively to dyeing-contaminated wastewater treatment.

文摘Utilizing small molecules as markers for specific cells or organs within biosystems is a crucial approach for studying and regulating physiological processes. However, current tagging strategies, due to the presence of exposed highly reactive groups, suffer from drawbacks such as low tagging efficiency or insufficient spatial specificity, thereby diminishing their expected effectiveness. Consequently, there is a pressing need to develop a strategy capable of in situ labeling of active groups in response to cellular or in vivo stimuli, ensuring both high tagging efficiency and spatial specificity. In this work, we devised a strategy for releasing aldehyde groups activated by hypochlorous acid(HOCl). Compounds synthesized through this strategy can release the fiuorophore methylene blue(MB) and aldehyde-based compounds upon HOCl activation. Given high reactivity of the released aldehyde group, it can effectively interact with macromolecules in biological systems, facilitating tagging and enabling prolonged imaging. To validate this concept, we further incorporated a naphthalimide structure with stable light emission to create SW-110. SW-110 can specifically respond to in vitro and endogenous HOCl, when release MB, it also releases naphthalimide fiuorophore with highly reactive aldehyde group for tagging within cells. This strategy provides a simple but efficient strategy for proximity tagging in situ.
