The wettability properties resulted from the surface topological and chemical transition, which were confirmed by in situ AFM measurements under water at different pH. At low pH, P4VP chains, which were confined in the hexagonal-packed nanodomains, got protonated into a swollen state, while at high pH, P4VP chains were deprotonated into a collapsed state. The reversible protonation/deprotonation procedure on the molecular scale leads to surface topological and chemical transition, thereby pH-sensitive wettability.展开更多

UV-vis measurement revealed that the absorbance has linearity with the bilayer number from layer to layer and the X ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) confirmed the existence of Tb 3+ ion. The pH of both the polymer and TbCl 3 solutions influence the thickness dramatically while the concentration of the solutions is not so sensitive. The luminescent spectrum of the complex film shows the characteristic emission of Tb 3+ ion as well as the ligand indicating the formation of the complex.展开更多

Herein, a simple chemical method is developed to synthesize a rhenium trioxide(ReO_(3)) microtubes assembled with highly crystalline nanoparticles. The ReO_(3) microtubes show a strong and well-defined surface plasmon resonance(SPR) behavior in visible region, which is rare for non-noble metals. As a low-cost SERS substrate, the plasmonic ReO_(3) microtubes exhibit a Raman enhancement factor of 8.9×10^(5) and a lowest detection limit of 1.0×10^(-9) mol/L for phenolic pollutants. Moreover, these ReO_(3) microtubule SERS substrates show excellent chemical stability and can resist the corrosion of strong acids and bases.展开更多

The gold nanorod surface exhibits a strong enhancing effect on Raman scattering spectroscopy. The enhancement of Raman scattering for two model molecules （2-naphthalenethiol and rhodamine 6C） is about 5-6 orders of magnitude. By changing the aspect ratio of the Au nanorods, we found that the enhancement factors decreased with the increase of aspect ratios. The observed Raman scattering enhancement is strong and should be ascribed to the surface plasmon coupling between closely packed nanorods, which may result in huge local electromagnetic field enhancements in those confined junctions.展开更多

The thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetric(TG/DSC), X-ray diffraction(XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HR-TEM) and N2 adsorption desorption and adsorption are used to study the effects of the synthesized process condition on the microstructure of the as-synthesized mesoporous Ti O2. The photocatalytic performances of as-synthesized samples are evaluated by the degradation of the formaldehyde under ultraviolet light irradiations. The results demonstrate that the as-synthesized mesoporous Ti O2 are anatase with the uniform size about 20-40 nm. The sample is prepared using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) as the template with average pore size distribution of 8.12 nm, specific surface area of 68.47 m2/g and pore volume of 0.213 m L/g. The samples show decomposition of formaldehyde 95.8% under ultraviolet light irradiations for 90 min. These results provide a basic experimental process for preparation mesoporous Ti O2, which will posses a broad prospect in terms of the applications in improving indoor air quality.展开更多

The fibers were first modified with 3layers of poly（4-styrenesulfonic acid）（PSS） and poly（diallyl-dimethylammonium chloride）（PDADMAC） to improve the anchoring of the Ti O2 nanoparticle clusters. PDADMAC, which is positively charged, was then used as counter polyelectrolyte in tandem with anionic Ti O2 nanoparticles to construct Ti O2/PDADMAC bilayer in the Lb L fashion. The number of deposited Ti O2/PDADMAC layers was varied from 1 to 7 bilayer, and could be used to adjust Ti O2 loading. The Lb L technique showed higher Ti O2 loading efficiency than the impregnation approach. The modified fibers were tested for their photocatalytic activity against a model dye, Methylene Blue（MB）. Results showed that the Ti O2 modified fibers exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity efficiency similar to that of Ti O2 powder dispersed in solution. The deposition of Ti O23 bilayer on the PP substrate was sufficient to produce nanocomposite fibers that could bleach the MB solution in less than 4 hr.Ti O2-Lb L constructions also preserved Ti O2 adhesion on substrate surface after 1 cycle of photocatalytic test. Successive photocatalytic test showed decline in MB reduction rate with loss of Ti O2 particles from the substrate outer surface. However, even in the third cycle, the Ti O2 modified fibers are still moderately effective as it could remove more than 95% of MB after 8 hr of treatment.展开更多

The number of deposited Ti O2/PDADMAC layers was varied from 1 to 7 bilayer, and could be used to adjust Ti O2 loading. The Lb L technique showed higher Ti O2 loading efficiency than the impregnation approach. The modified fibers were tested for their photocatalytic activity against a model dye, Methylene Blue（MB）. Results showed that the Ti O2 modified fibers exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity efficiency similar to that of Ti O2 powder dispersed in solution. The deposition of Ti O23 bilayer on the PP substrate was sufficient to produce nanocomposite fibers that could bleach the MB solution in less than 4 hr.Ti O2-Lb L constructions also preserved Ti O2 adhesion on substrate surface after 1 cycle of photocatalytic test. Successive photocatalytic test showed decline in MB reduction rate with loss of Ti O2 particles from the substrate outer surface. However, even in the third cycle, the Ti O2 modified fibers are still moderately effective as it could remove more than 95% of MB after 8 hr of treatment.

文摘Amphiphilic block copolymers can exhibit rich and complex morphologies in aqueous solutions, but these structures are usually delicate, easily disturbed by composition change or temperature change. In this work, the use of different methods to cross link block copolymer self assemblies in the presence of a selective solvent and to stabilize the structures is reviewed. In addition, the cross linking reaction kinetics of block copolymer amphiphilic self assemblies is briefly discussed.

文摘Owing to unique advantages of patternability and high substrate compatibility,screen-printing allows for the fabrication of flexible perovskite solar cells(f-PSCs)with designable device patterns,while the defective and fragile contact at the buried interface seriously restricted the device performance.Herein,a series of siloxane coupling agents(SCAs)with different ending groups i.e.,-SH,-NH_(2),and-CN were incorporated at the SnO_(2)/perovskite interface,which can selectively interact with MA+and Pb^(2+)via hydrogen and coordination bonding,respectively.It was revealed that the selection of(3-Cyanopropyl)Triethoxysilane(CN-PTES)can regulate perovskite crystallization with accelerated nucleation and retarded crystal growth,leading to improved crystallinity with released residual lattice strain.Moreover,the incorporated CN-PTES aligned the energy structure of the underlying SnO_(2)and boosted the interfacial adhesion between perovskite and SnO_(2),resulting in facilitated electron extraction and enhanced interfacial fracture energy.Consequently,the first screen-printed f-PSCs with improved mechanical resistance were finally obtained.
文摘The development of efficient and stable perovskite solar cells(PSCs)continues to face commercialization challenges,with long-term operational stability remaining a critical bottleneck despite considerable progress in power conversion efficiency(PCE).This challenge is particularly pronounced at the hole-selective interface,where high-performance contacts frequently lack the necessary robustness,thereby limiting device reliability and durability.The recent development of stable organic diradical self-assembled monolayers(SAMs)represents a significant advancement in interfacial contact engineering for perovskite devices.

文摘Cylindrical ferromagnetic tubes are notable for their geometry-driven physical phenomena,making them promising for future technological applications.Self-assembly rolling technology is used to create tubes with high surface quality and side edges,which are crucial for customizing magnetic anisotropy through magnetostatic interactions at the edges.This study investigates the anisotropy induced by these interactions in magnetostriction-free permalloy membranes.Thin planar membranes of varying dimensions were transformed into tubular structures with curvature radii in the tens of microns and winding numbers from 0.6 to 1.5.Experimental results reveal that magnetostatic energy is minimized when the winding number exceeds 0.8-0.9 by adopting an azimuthal domain pattern,or flux-closure configuration,from previously axial domains.Theseresults are supported by analytical calculations of the equilibrium magnetic state of both planar and curved membranes,considering shape anisotropy constants.These constants were derived from magnetostatic energy calculations assuming a single domain configuration and applied to various geometries and curvatures.This research advances the understanding of anisotropy tuning in curved thin-film architectures,focusing on achieving azimuthal magnetic anisotropy in soft ferromagnetic tubular structures without additional induced anisotropy,a key step for applications in data storage,field sensors,and biomedicine relying on 3D magnetic structures.

文摘Castration-resistant prostate cancer demonstrates intrinsic or acquired resistance to second-generation androgen-targeted therapies,posing a challenge in clinical treatment.In this study,on the basis of in vivo self-assembly nanotechnology,we designed a PSMA-targeted nano-PROTAC with a proximity degradation effect.Nano-PROTAC not only precisely degrades the AR receptor but also cleverly degrades the HSP90 that is closely bound to the AR receptor,utilizing the spatial distance self-adaptive characteristics of its nanostructure.In the 22Rv1 cell model,Nano-PROTAC degraded 80%of the AR protein and 65%of the HSP90 protein.More importantly,nano-PROTAC could degrade 74%of the AR splice variant AR-V7 protein,showing the potential ability to overcome drug resistance.We further constructed an enzalutamide-resistant xenograft tumor mouse model to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the Nano-PROTAC.Compared with the combination treatment group of AR and HSP90 inhibitors(enzalutamide and pimitespib),the nano-PROTAC treatment group presented a high tumor growth inhibition value of up to 78%and a median survival extension of 15 days.Nano-PROTACs that simultaneously degrade AR and HSP90 can overcome the resistance of prostate cancer to PSMA-and AR-positive castration-resistant prostate cancer,except for neuroendocrine prostate cancer,which provides a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of prostate cancer.
