The five diets used in the experiment are: Fish Flesh (FF), Shrimp Flesh (SF), Clam Foot (CF), Polychaete Worm (PW), and Formulated Diet (FD). No significant differ- ences of attractability exist between any two different diets when every two natural diets or all five diets are provided simul- taneously. On the other hand, significant differences of attractability exist between FD and every single natural diet when they are provided simultaneously. Results of behavioral observation indicate that natural diets are more attractive than FD. In feeding experiment, Chinese shrimp has distinct selectivity on different diets. It positively selects CF and PW, negatively selects FF and SF, and excludes FD absolutely. The results of the present studies indicate that the dietary selectivity of shrimp was based not only on the attractabilities of the diets, but also on the responses such as growth and food conversion.展开更多

Electron. 4 277 (2021)], attracting significant attention. This "breakthrough" not only challenges the conventional characterization of TeO_(2) as an insulator but also conflicts with the anticipated difficulty in hole doping of TeO_(2) by established chemical trends. Notably, the reported Fermi level of 0.9 eV above the valence band maximum actually suggests that the material is an insulator, contradicting the high hole density obtained by Hall effect measurement. Furthermore, the detected residual Se and the possible reduced elemental Te in the 2D β-TeO_(2) samples introduces complexity, considering that elemental Se, Te, and Te_(1−x)Se_(x) themselves are high-mobility p-type semiconductors. Therefore, doubts regarding the true cause of the p-type conductivity observed in the 2D β-TeO_(2) samples arise. In this Letter, we employ density functional theory calculations to illustrate that TeO_(2), whether in its bulk forms of α-, β-, or γ-TeO_(2), or in the 2D β-TeO_(2) nanosheets, inherently exhibits insulating properties and poses challenges in carrier doping due to its shallow conduction band minimum and deep valence band maximum. Our findings shed light on the insulating properties and doping difficulty of TeO_(2), contrasting with the claimed p-type conductivity in the 2D β-TeO_(2) samples, prompting inquiries into the true origin of the p-type conductivity.展开更多

However, existing ultramicroelectrodes(UMEs) suffer from narrow electrochemical window and poor electrode interface adhesion, severely hindering the application of precise single NP analysis. Here, we propose a simple and effective interface modification strategy. By electrochemically self-assembling poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)(PC) on the surface of carbon nanocone electrodes(CNCEs), we successfully prepared PC-modified CNCEs(PC–CNCEs). These electrodes not only possess sufficiently wide electrochemical window but also exhibit strong adhesion to negatively charged Ag NPs on their surfaces. Surface physical analysis and electrochemical molecule detection validated the high-density loading of PC on the modified electrodes. Furthermore, the working principle of PC–CNCEs for single Ag NP collision detection was further verified through the techniques of nanocollision and double-potential steps. Leveraging these significant advantages, PC–CNCEs not only achieved precise measurements of single or mixed-sized Ag NPs but also detected Ag NP solutions at concentrations as low as fmol/L levels. This advancement offers a new strategy for the rapid and precise analysis of NP colloids.展开更多

文摘The search for photoactive materials that are able to efficiently produce solar fuels is a growing research field to tackle the current energy crisis.Herein,we have prepared two ionic non-noble metallo-supramolecular polymers Se-MTpy(M=Co or Ni),and constructed their composites with single-walled carbon nanotubes(CNTs)via electrostatic attraction andπ-πinteractions for efficient and stable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.In the photocatalytic system,the cationic Se-MTpy as host and anionic CNTs as vip are assembled into a binary composite,which exhibits superior photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation(>420 nm).The optimized CNT@Se-CoTpy composite,containing 1.2 wt%metal loading,achieves 7 times higher hydrogen evolution rate(2.47 mmol g^(-1)h^(-1))than bare Se-CoTpy(0.35 mmol g^(-1)h^(-1)).This is attributed to the constructive formation of junctions between polymer and CNTs,facilitating interfacial charge transfer and transport for efficient proton reduction.The composite system also shows high photostability after continuous irradiation for~30 h.The combination of experimental and theoretical analysis demonstrates the higher activity for reducing H_(2)O to H_(2)of Se-CoTpy than Se-NiTpy.The feasible interfacial architecture proposed in this study represents an effective approach to achieve high photocatalytic performance.

文摘By encapsulating nanoscale particles of goethite(α-FeO(OH)),hydrous ceric oxide(CeO_(2)·H_(2)O,HCO)and silver nanoparticles(AgNPs)in the pores of polystyrene anion exchanger D201,a novel nanocomposite FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201 was prepared for the effective removal of arsenic from water.The isotherm study shows that FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201 has excellent adsorption performance for As(III)and As(V),with an increased adsorption capacity of As(III)to 40.12 mg/g compared to that of 22.03 mg/g by the composite adsorbent without AgNPs(FeO(OH)-HCO-D201).The adsorption kinetics data showed that the sorption rate of FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201 for As(III)is less than that for As(V),and the adsorption of As(III)and As(V)were consistent with the pseudo-second-order model and the pseudofirst-order model,respectively.Neutral or basic conditions are favored for the adsorption of As(III/V)by FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201.Compared with nitrate/chloride/bicarbonate,sulfate/silicate/phosphate showed more remarkable inhibition of arsenic removal by FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201,whereas natural organic matter showed no interference to the arsenic removal.The As(V)adsorption involved different interactions such as electrostatic attraction and surface complexation,while the adsorption of As(III)involved the part oxidization of As(III)to As(V)and the simultaneous adsorption of As(III)and As(V).In addition to the Ce(IV)in CeO_(2)·H_(2)O acted as an oxidant,the synergistic effect ofα-FeO(OH)and AgNPs also contributed to the oxidization of As(III)to As(V).Moreover,the reusable property suggested that this FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201 nanocomposite has great potential for arsenic-contaminated water purification.
