Herein, we presented N and S dual-doped high-surface-area carbon materials(SZ-HCN) as CO2 RR catalysts. N and S were doped by one-step pyrolysis of a N-containing polymer and S powder. ZnCl2 was applied as a volatile porogen to prepare porous SZ-HCN. SZ-HCN with a high specific surface area(1510 m2 g–1) exhibited efficient electrocatalytic activity and selectivity for CO2 RR. Electrochemical measurements demonstrated that SZ-HCN showed excellent catalytic performance for CO2-to-CO reduction with a high CO Faradaic efficiency(~93%) at-0.6 V. Furthermore, SZ-HCN offered a stable current density and high CO selectivity over at least 20 h continuous operation, revealing remarkable electrocatalytic durability. The experimental results and density functional theory calculations indicated that N and S dual-doped carbon materials required lower Gibbs free energy to form the COOH* intermediate than that for single-N-doped carbon for CO2-to-CO reduction, thereby enhancing CO2 RR activity.展开更多

A MRJP1-specific peptide(IKEALPHVPIFD) identified by bioinformatics analysis of homologous members of the major royal protein family was synthesized and used to raise polyclonal anti-MRJP1 antibody(antiSP-MRJP1 antibody). Western blot analysis showed that anti-SP-MRJP1 antibody only reacted with MRJP1 in RJ. In contrast, the previously reported antibody against recombinant MRJP1(anti-R-MRJP1 antibody) reacted with other members of MRJP family in RJ. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) using anti-SP-MRJP1 antibody demonstrated that MRJP1 content in RJ stored at 40 °C significantly degraded by 37.3%, 55.9%, 58.0%, 60.6%, 65.7%, 72.7%, and 73.1% at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49 d, respectively, when compared with MRJP1 content in fresh RJ(0 d). Optical density analysis of MRJP bands from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) profiles demonstrated that the degradation of MRJP1, MRJP2, MRJP3, and MRJP5 in RJ was strongly and positively correlated with the period of storage(P〈0.0001). Our results indicated anti-SP-MRJP1 antibody was highly specific for MRJP1, and ELISA using the antibody is a sensitive and easy-to-use method to determine the freshness and authenticity of RJ.展开更多

Polyethylene glycol was used as a significant component added in aqueous solution of chitosan to produce such microspheres through droplets forming, chemical crosslinking and pores creating. For the improvement of adsorption capacity, thiourea was considered as an excellent choice in increasing amino functional group by graft modification. The SEM, FTIR and EDS were employed to detect distinct features of TMCM. Copper(Ⅱ) was used to test the adsorption performance of TMCM. The experimental results indicated that TMCM exhibited higher adsorption capacity(q_e= 60.6 mg g_(-1)) and faster adsorption rate than that non-modified chitosan microsphere(NMCM).The adsorption kinetic was described well by the pseudo-second order kinetic model, which suggested that chemical adsorption along with electrons transferring was dominant in adsorption process.展开更多

Early synthetic methods for the incorporation of iodine faced challenges such as harsh reaction conditions, the use of strong oxidants and low reproducibility. Herein, we review well-established radiolabeling strategies available to incorporate radionuclide into a protein of interest, and our long-term experience with a mild, simple and generally applicable technique of 125I late-stage-labeling of biomolecules using the Pierce iodination reagent for the direct solid-phase oxidation of radioactive iodide. General recommendations, tips, and details of optimized chromatographic conditions to isolate pure, specifically 125I-mono-labeled biomolecules are illustrated on a diverse series of (poly)peptides, ranging up to 7.6 kDa and 67 amino acids (aa). These series include peptides that contain at least one tyrosine or histidine residue, along with those featuring disulfide crosslinking or lipophilic derivatization. This mild and straightforward late-stage-labeling technique is easily applicable to longer and more sensitive proteins, as demonstrated in the cases of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGF-BP-3) (29 kDa and 264 aa) and the acid-labile subunit (ALS) (93 kDa and 578 aa).展开更多

文摘The aqueous rechargeable Zn-ion batteries based on the safe,low cost and environmental benignity aqueous electrolytes are one of the most compelling candidates for large scale energy storage applications.However,pursuing suitable insertion materials may be a great challenge due to the strong electrostatic interaction between Zn^(^(2+))and cathode materials.Hence,a novel NaV_(6)O_(15)/V_(2)O_(5) skin-core heterostructure nanowire is reported via a one-step hydrothermal method and subsequent calcination for high-stable aqueous Zn-ion batteries(ZIBs).The NaV_(6)O_(15)/V_(2)O_(5) cathode delivers high specific capacity of 390 m Ah/g at 0.3 A/g and outstanding cycling stability of 267 m Ah/g at 5 A/g with high capacity retention over 92.3%after 3000 cycles.The superior electrochemical performances are attributed to the synergistic effect of skin-core heterostructured NaV_(6)O_(15)/V_(2)O_(5),in which the sheath of NaV_(6)O_(15) possesses high stability and conductivity,and the V_(2)O_(5) endows high specific capacity.Besides,the heterojunction structure not only accelerates intercalation kinetics of Zn^(2+)transport but also further consolidates the stability of the layers of V_(2)O_(5) during the cyclic process.This work provides a new perspective in developing feasible insertion materials for rechargeable aqueous ZIBs.

文摘Potassium-ion hybrid capacitors(PIHCs)are widely regarded as highly promising energy storage devices,due to their exceptional energy density,impressive power density,and abundant potassium resources.Unfortunately,restricted by the inherent capacitive storage mechanism,the carbon cathodes possess a much lower specific capacity than battery-type anodes.Therefore,designing high-performance carbon cathodes is extremely urgent for the development of PIHCs.Herein,N,O codoped porous carbon(NOPC)was fabricated through the NaCl hard template method and combined KOH/melamine chemical activation technique,displaying the characteristics of abundant N/O content(4.7 at%/16.9 at%),ultrahigh specific surface area(3092 m^(2)g^(-1))and hierarchical pore network.The designed NOPC cathode delivers a high specific capacity(164.4 mAh.g^(-1)at 0.05 A.g^(-1))and superior cyclability(95.1%retention ratio at 2 A·g^(-1)over 2500 cycles).Notably,the adjustable ratio of micropores to mesopores facilitates the achievement of the optimal bal-ance between capacity and rate capability.Moreover,the pseudocapacitance can be further augmented through the incorporation of N/O functional groups.As expected,the graphite//NOPC based PIHC possesses a high energy density of 113 Wh·kg-at 747 W·kg^(-1)and excellent capacity retention of 84.4% fter 400 cycles at 1.0 A·g^(-1).This work introduces a novel strategy for designing carbon cathodes that enhances the electrochemical performance of PIHCs.

文摘In this study,a high specific impulse Hall thruster,HEP-140 MF,having a high discharge voltage,was used to accelerate ions.We aimed to obtain a high specific impulse and an acceleration zone moving downstream toward the channel exit to reduce wall sputtering erosion of the walls of the discharge channel,hence ensuring an enhanced lifetime.To study the lifetime characteristics of the high specific impulse Hall thruster,a life test was performed on the HEP-140 MF thruster for the first time,and performance parameters,such as thrust,specific impulse,and efficiency,were measured.Changes in the performance parameters and evolutions in the surface profiles of the discharge channel wall were summarized.The reasons contributing to these changes during the life test were analyzed.Moreover,the accelerated life test method was validated on the HEP-140 MF.

文摘Major royal jelly protein 1(MRJP1), designated apalbumin 1, has been regarded as a freshness marker of royal jelly(RJ). A MRJP1-specific peptide(IKEALPHVPIFD) identified by bioinformatics analysis of homologous members of the major royal protein family was synthesized and used to raise polyclonal anti-MRJP1 antibody(antiSP-MRJP1 antibody). Western blot analysis showed that anti-SP-MRJP1 antibody only reacted with MRJP1 in RJ. In contrast, the previously reported antibody against recombinant MRJP1(anti-R-MRJP1 antibody) reacted with other members of MRJP family in RJ. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) using anti-SP-MRJP1 antibody demonstrated that MRJP1 content in RJ stored at 40 °C significantly degraded by 37.3%, 55.9%, 58.0%, 60.6%, 65.7%, 72.7%, and 73.1% at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49 d, respectively, when compared with MRJP1 content in fresh RJ(0 d). Optical density analysis of MRJP bands from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) profiles demonstrated that the degradation of MRJP1, MRJP2, MRJP3, and MRJP5 in RJ was strongly and positively correlated with the period of storage(P〈0.0001). Our results indicated anti-SP-MRJP1 antibody was highly specific for MRJP1, and ELISA using the antibody is a sensitive and easy-to-use method to determine the freshness and authenticity of RJ.

文摘An improved biosorbent of thiourea modified chitosan microsphere(TMCM) with high specific surface,favorable mechanical strength and excellent adsorption performance had been synthesized via microfluidic technology. Polyethylene glycol was used as a significant component added in aqueous solution of chitosan to produce such microspheres through droplets forming, chemical crosslinking and pores creating. For the improvement of adsorption capacity, thiourea was considered as an excellent choice in increasing amino functional group by graft modification. The SEM, FTIR and EDS were employed to detect distinct features of TMCM. Copper(Ⅱ) was used to test the adsorption performance of TMCM. The experimental results indicated that TMCM exhibited higher adsorption capacity(q_e= 60.6 mg g_(-1)) and faster adsorption rate than that non-modified chitosan microsphere(NMCM).The adsorption kinetic was described well by the pseudo-second order kinetic model, which suggested that chemical adsorption along with electrons transferring was dominant in adsorption process.

文摘Superhydrophilic surfaces have been applied for supercapacitor;however,during energy storage reaction,how the wettability affects the process of electrochemical reaction specifically is still unclear.Herein,we demonstrate superhydrophilic surface for promotion of electrochemical reactions by liquid affinity and further explain the mechanism,where the transition of the wettability state caused by the change in surface free energy is the main reason for the obvious increase in specific capacitance.Through citric acid assistance strategy,an intrinsically hydrophobic Ni(OH)_(2)thick nanosheets(HNHTNs,16 nm)can be transitioned into superhydrophilic Ni(OH)_(2)ultrathin nanosheets(SNHUNs,6.8 nm),where the water contact angle was 0°and the surface free energy increased from 8.6to 65.8 mN·m^(-1),implying superhydrophilicity.Compared with HNHTNs,the specific capacitance of SNHUNs is doubled:from 1230 F·g^(-1)(HNHTNs)to 2350 F·g^(-1)(2A·g^(-1))and,even at 20 A·g^(-1),from 833 F·g^(-1)(HNHTNs)to 1670 F·g^(-1).The asymmetric capacitors assembled by SNHUNs and activated carbon show 52.44 Wh·kg^(-1)at 160W·kg^(-1)and excellent stability with~90%retention after5000 cycles(~80%retention after 9500 cycles).The promotion of electrochemical performances is ascribed to the change of surface wettability caused by surface free energy,which greatly increase affinity of electrode to the surrounding liquid environment to reduce the interface resistance and optimize the electron transport path.

文摘Developing excellent pseudocapacitive electrodes with long cycle,high areal capacity and large rate has been challenged.3 D printing is an additive manufacture technique that has been explored to construct microelectrodes of arbitrary geometries for high-energy–density supercapacitors.In comparison with conventional electrodes with uncontrollable geometries and architectures,3 D-printed electrodes possess unique advantage in geometrical shape,mechanical properties,surface area,especially in ion transport and charge transfer.Thus,a desirable 3 D electrode with ordered porous structures can be elaborately designed by 3 D printing technology for improving electrochemical capacitance and rate capability.In this work,a designed,monolithic and ordered multi-porous 3 D Cu conductive skeleton was manufactured through 3 D direct ink writing technique and coated with Cu O nanosheet arrays by an in situ electro-oxidation treatment.Benefiting from the highly ordered multiporous nature,the 3 D-structured skeleton can eff ectively enlarge the surface area,enhance the penetration of electrolyte and facilitate fast electron and ion transport.As a result,the 3 D-printed Cu deposited with electro-oxidation-generated CuO(3 DP Cu@Cu O)electrodes demonstrates an ultrahigh areal capacitance of 1.690 F cm^(-2)(38.79 F cm^(-3))at a large current density of 30 m A cm^(-2)(688.59 m A cm^(-3)),excellent lifespan of 88.20%capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles at 30 m A cm^(-2) and superior rate capability(94.31%retention,2-30 m A cm^(-2)).This design concept of 3 D printing multi-porous current collector with hierarchical active materials provides a novel way to build high-performance 3 D microelectrodes.

文摘A novel voltage-withstand substrate with high-K(HK, k 〉 3.9, k is the relative permittivity) dielectric and low specific on-resistance(Ron,sp) bulk-silicon, high-voltage LDMOS(HKLR LDMOS)is proposed in this paper. The high-K dielectric and highly doped interface N+-layer are made in bulk silicon to reduce the surface field drift region. The high-K dielectric can fully assist in depleting the drift region to increase the drift doping concentration(Nd) and reshape the electric field distribution. The highly doped N+-layer under the high-K dielectric acts as a low resistance path to reduce the Ron,sp. The new device with the high breakdown voltage(BV), the low Ron,sp, and the excellent figure of merit(FOM = BV^2/Ron,sp) is obtained. The BV of HKLR LDMOS is 534 V, Ron,sp is 70.6 m?·cm^2, and FOM is 4.039 MW·cm^(-2).

文摘Defect-rich,highly porous two-dimensional carbon nanosheets(CNS) have attracted tremendous research interests in catalysis and environmental purification and other fields,because of their unique micromorphology,chemical stability and high specific surface area.Herein,in this work,we report a new solution to synthesize an ultrathin two-dimensional CNS with rich defects and abundant pores via two-step etching the Ti_(3)AlC_(2)with the help of I2and NaOH.The CNS thickness,specific surface area and pore volume could be all tunable by adding the amount of I2.And the highest specific surface area and pore volume of the synthesized 2D CNS can be achieved 1134.4 m^(2)/g and 0.80 cm^(3)/g,with a thickness of only 0.64 nm and a yield of 35.9%.When employed as the anodes for lithium-ion batteries,the synthesized CNS anodes exhibit good cycling and rate capabilities.This work provides a novel and facile strategy for synthesizing highly porous and defective 2D carbon materials with good lithium storage properties.

文摘Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)are gaining attention owing to their affordability,high safety,and high energy density,making them a promising solution for large-scale energy storage.However,their performance is hampered by the instability of both the anode-electrolyte interface and the cathode-electrolyte interface.The use of sodium gluconate(SG),an organic sodium salt with multiple hydroxyl groups,as an electrolyte additive is suggested.Experimental and theoretical analyses demonstrate that Na^(+)from SG can intercalate and deintercalate within the associated V_(2)O_(5) cathode during in situ electrochemical processes.This action supports the layered structure of V_(2)O_(5),prevents structural collapse and phase transitions,and enhances Zn^(2+)diffusion kinetics.Additionally,the gluconate anion disrupts the original Zn^(2+)solvation structure,mitigates water-induced side reactions,and suppresses Zn dendrite growth.The synchronous regulation of both the V_(2)O_(5) cathode and Zn anode by the SG additive leads to considerable performance improvements.Zn‖Zn symmetric batteries demonstrate a cycle life exceeding 2800 h at 0.5 mA cm^(-2)and 1 mAh cm^(-2).In Zn‖V_(2)O_(5) full batteries,a high specific capacity of 288.92 mAh g^(-1)and capacity retention of 82.29%are maintained over 1000 cycles at a current density of 2 A g^(-1).This multifunctional additive strategy offers a new pathway for the practical application of AZIBs.

文摘To improve the slow kinetics and poor mechanical strength of aqueous silver peroxide−aluminum(AgO−Al)battery cathode materials,the effects of different binders including polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)and polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)on the AgO cathode material were investigated.The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),cyclic voltammetry(CV),electrochemical impedance spectrum(EIS),and galvanostatic discharge.In contrast to the pure AgO and AgO−PTFE electrodes,the results demonstrated that the PVP effectively bound the electrode materials together.The prepared AgO−PVP as the cathode material of AgO−Al batteries could improve the battery capacity,exhibiting a high specific capacity(389.95 mA·h/g at 500 mA/cm^(2)),a high operating voltage(1.75 V at 500 mA/cm^(2)),a maximum energy density(665.65 W·h/kg),and a maximum power density(5236 W/kg).Furthermore,the electrochemical mechanism of the AgO−PVP cathode material was examined,revealing that the electrode exhibited rapid ion diffusion and effective interfacial ion/electron transport.

文摘Complex concentrated alloys(CCAs)containing the L2_(1)phase are recognized for their exceptional strength and thermal stability,positioning them as strong candidates for transformative applications in aerospace,energy,and structural sectors.This investigation delves into the AlFexNiTiV_(40-x)(x=0,10,20,30,35,40;at%)CCAs,aiming to unlock the synergistic potential of BCC and L2_(1)phases.By conducting an in-depth analysis of microstructure,phase behavior,and mechanical properties,the intricate relationships between chemistry,structure,and properties are illuminated within this alloy system.The Al_(15)Fe_(35)Ni_(3)0Ti_(15)V_(5)alloy demonstrates remarkable mechanical properties,achieving a yield strength of 2140.9 MPa and ultimate compressive strength of 2699.7 MPa,primarily through solid solution strengthening and precipitation hardening.Notably,its low lattice mismatches and nanoprecipitate strengthening yield an impressive specific yield strength at 600℃(245.2 MPa(g·cm^(-3))^(-1)).Phase modulation achieves the synergistic optimization of specific strengths at both room and high temperatures in CCAs containing the L2_(1)phase,opening new avenues for designing advanced lightweight and high strength alloys for elevated-temperature applications.

文摘The preparation of specifically iodine-125 (125I)-labeled peptides of high purity and specific activity represents a key tool for the detailed characterization of their binding properties in interaction with their binding partners. Early synthetic methods for the incorporation of iodine faced challenges such as harsh reaction conditions, the use of strong oxidants and low reproducibility. Herein, we review well-established radiolabeling strategies available to incorporate radionuclide into a protein of interest, and our long-term experience with a mild, simple and generally applicable technique of 125I late-stage-labeling of biomolecules using the Pierce iodination reagent for the direct solid-phase oxidation of radioactive iodide. General recommendations, tips, and details of optimized chromatographic conditions to isolate pure, specifically 125I-mono-labeled biomolecules are illustrated on a diverse series of (poly)peptides, ranging up to 7.6 kDa and 67 amino acids (aa). These series include peptides that contain at least one tyrosine or histidine residue, along with those featuring disulfide crosslinking or lipophilic derivatization. This mild and straightforward late-stage-labeling technique is easily applicable to longer and more sensitive proteins, as demonstrated in the cases of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGF-BP-3) (29 kDa and 264 aa) and the acid-labile subunit (ALS) (93 kDa and 578 aa).

文摘Iron disulfide(FeS_(2))has been widely used in thermal batteries because of its high theoretical specific capacity and voltage plateau.However,low thermal decomposition temperature,poor conductivity and inferior actual specific capacity limit its wide applications.Herein,we report a gold-doped FeS_(2)(FeS_(2)-Au),which not only reduces the band gap of the FeS_(2)crystals but also enriches the electron transport path of FeS_(2)by the formation of Au nanoparticles.First-principles calculation shows that the diffusion energy barrier of lithium-ion is reduced after the Au-doped FeS_(2).In addition,Au increases the electron cloud density around sulfur atoms,which helps to enhance the stability of Fe-S covalent bonds and thus results in better thermal stability of FeS_(2).When the Au content is 130μg·g^(-1)(FeS_(2)-Au_(4)),the thermal decomposition temperature(TG5%)of FeS_(2)-Au is 72.2℃ higher than that of pristine FeS_(2).At a discharge temperature of 500℃,a current density of 200 mA·cm^(-2) and a cutoff voltage of 1.4 V,FeS_(2)-Au_(4)demonstrates superior specific capacity and high specific energy compared to FeS_(2).More precisely,the specific capacity of FeS_(2)-Au_(4)attains a value of 379 mAh·g^(-1),with a corresponding specific energy of 714 Wh·kg^(-1).In contrast,the discharge specific capacity and specific energy of FeS_(2)are lower,amounting to 348 mAh·g^(-1)and 656 Wh·kg^(-1),respectively.This study offers a novel approach to enhancing the electrochemical performance of FeS_(2)in high-temperature molten salt electrochemical systems(thermal batteries),thereby laying a solid foundation for its potential practical application.
