These doubly degenerate states contribute equally in conventional measurements and are thus treated the same in corresponding simulations. In this study, we demonstrate that in resonant excitation by intense laser pulses, the doubly degenerate ±Λ states must be clearly identified. This is exemplified in the X^(1)Σ → A^(1)Π transition of CO molecules. This distinction becomes especially important in the case of circularly polarized radiation. We attribute this phenomenon to the interference of electron-rotational pathways in the strong-field coupled transition with the ±Λ-state of the excited Π state. This research sheds light on the fundamental aspects of intense laser-molecule interactions when extending conventional theories.展开更多

[Method] 2,5-Diphenylthiophene and 2,5-dithienylethynylthiophene were synthesized by replacing thiophene rings of α-terthienyl (α-T) with benzene rings. Photoactivated activities on Spodoptera litura (SL) cells, singlet oxygen with UV and photostability of photosensitizers were investigated. [Result] The cytotoxicity of pho-tosensitizer 2,5-diphenylthiophene on SL cells was 0.22 and 0.16 μg/ml after treat-ment for 24 and 48 h, respectively, while that of 2,5-dithienylethynylthiophene on SL cells was 0.06 and 0.04 μg/ml. Singlet oxygen of 2,5-diphenylthiophene and 2,5-dithienylethynylthiophene was 1.047 5, 1.529 4 μg/mmol under UV, respectively. Degradation dynamic equations of 2,5-diphenylthiophene and 2,5-dithienylethynylthio-phene in methanol were Ct= 5.227 1e-0.006 1t, Ct= 5.084 2e-0.097 3t and half life was 111.79, 7.12 h. [Conclusion] Photosensitizer 2,5-diphenylthiophene has high singlet oxygen production ability, and high photoactivated cytotoxicity on SL cells under UV. Moreover, 2,5-diphenylthiophene has overcome the deficiency of photoactivated in-secticides, which is not applied directly in field because it degrades quickly in the environment.展开更多

It is proved that there must simultaneously be two sorts of symmetry breaking in the universe. The universe is composed of infinite s-cosmic islands, infinite v-cosmic islands and infinite transition zone. The existing and changing forms of the cosmic islands must be diverse. The cosmological principle holds only approximately within a cosmic island. No information can be exchanged between an s-cosmic island and an adjacent v-cosmic island so that every observer thinks his cosmic island to be the whole universe. It is possible that some cosmic islands are contracting, some cosmic islands are expanding, and other cosmic islands are stable for a time. But the universe as a whole is always invariable and contains all possible existing forms of matter. To give a possible explanation for orphan quasars. To predict some characteristics of contracting large and huge black holes in a cosmic island. The characteristics of the light coming from the contracting huge black holes are that the intensity of the light is huge relatively to their distance, the red shifts are huge, the distribution of the huge red shifts and the orphan quasars are anisotropic, and luminescence spectrum is very wide.展开更多

After several hours evacuation to a few Pa, γ can return to its original value. A deactivation mechanism of O2(1△g) is suggested by considering first the weak chemisorption of O2(1△g) on the surface adsorption sites, followed by the near resonant energy transfer between the gas phase O2(1△g) and surface O2(1△g). A phenomenological model in accord with the experimental fact has been proposed together with relevant kinetic equations.展开更多

The results showed that Cu(Ⅱ) alone could induce a photo Fenton-like reaction to enhance the degradation of atrazine, in which hydroxyl radical (.OH) was a main active species. Humic acids restrained atrazine degradation, nevertheless, when introducing Cu(Ⅱ), the photodegradation was accelerated, in which singlet oxygen (102) replaced -OH acting as the prevailing species. A feasible mechanism for the photochemical process was also proposed, which is helpful for better understanding the environmental photochemistry of atrazine in the copper-polluted water.展开更多

文摘Organic semiconductor lasers are attractive for low thresholds and cost,but triplet accumulation hampers their electrically pumped development.Compared to existing organic lasing materials,triplet-triplet annihilation(TTA)systems are capable of tolerating high triplet concentrations and may facilitate stable laser emission under electrical pumping.To avoid energy losses in doped multicomponent TTA systems,herein,we report an organic semiconductor lasing material BH001 with TTA properties,which combines concurrent triplet harvesting and lasing within a single molecular framework.Dislocations betweenπ-conjugated planes reduceπ-πstacking-induced fluorescence quenching,yielding high photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)in the crystal.The TTA process in BH001 can be observed through a color change from red to blue by the sensitization of PtOEP.Given that nanosecond/femtosecond transient absorption(ns-TA and fs-TA)spectroscopy has demonstrated the appreciable ability of BH001 to generate triplet states,TTA-delayed fluorescence of pure BH001 crystal was directly detected using a streak camera.A laser constructed from this TTA crystal achieved low-threshold blue emission at 440 nm(P_(th)=15.4μJ/cm^(2)),which is increased in an oxygen atmosphere,suggesting the involvement of triplets.Upon excitation with nanosecond laser pulses that are more prone to cause triplet stacking,the BH001 crystal exhibits stimulated emission behavior.This study demonstrates a lasing molecule with TTA properties,highlighting its potential in continuous wave(CW)pumped and ultimately electrically pumped systems.

文摘Conventional hyperspectral cameras cascade lenses and spectrometers to acquire the spectral datacube,which forms the fundamental framework for hyperspectral imaging.However,this cascading framework involves tradeoffs among spectral and imaging performances when the system is driven toward miniaturization.Here,we propose a spectral singlet lens that unifies optical imaging and computational spectrometry functions,enabling the creation of minimalist,miniaturized and high-performance hyperspectral cameras.As a paradigm,we capitalize on planar liquid crystal optics to implement the proposed framework,with each liquid-crystal unit cell acting as both phase modulator and electrically tunable spectral filter.Experiments with various targets show that the resulting millimeter-scale hyperspectral camera exhibits both high spectral fidelity(>95%)and high spatial resolutions(~1.7 times the diffraction limit).The proposed“two-in-one”framework can resolve the conflicts between spectral and imaging resolutions,which paves a practical pathway for advancing hyperspectral imaging systems toward miniaturization and portable applications.

文摘Singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2)),as the primary reactive oxygen species in photodynamic therapy,can effectively induce excessive oxidative stress to ablate tumors and kill germs in clinical treatment.However,monitoring endogenous^(1)O_(2)is greatly challenging due to its extremely short lifetime and high reactivity in biological condition.Herein,we report an ultra-high signal-to-ratio near-infrared chemiluminescent probe(DCMCy)for the precise detection of endogenous^(1)O_(2)during photodynamic therapy(PDT).The methoxy moiety was removed from enolether unit in DCM-Cy to suppress the potential self-photooxidation reaction,thus greatly eliminating the photoinduced background signals during PDT.Additionally,the compact cyclobutane modification of DCM-Cy resulted in a significant 6-fold increase in cell permeability compared to conventional adamantane-dioxane probes.Therefore,our“step-by-step”strategy for DCM-Cy addressed the limitations of traditional chemiluminescent(CL)probes for^(1)O_(2),enabling effectively tracking of endogenous^(1)O_(2)level changes in living cells,pathogenic bacteria and mice in PDT.

文摘Different from reversible agonist-stimulated receptor activation,singlet oxygen oxidation activates permanently G protein-coupled receptor(GPCR)cholecystokinin 1(CCK1R)in type II photodynamic action,with soluble photosensitizer dyes(sulphonated aluminum phthalocyanine,λmax 675 nm)or genetically encoded protein photosensitizers(KillerRedλmax 585 nm;mini singlet oxygen generatorλmax 450 nm),together with a pulse of light(37 mW/cm2,1-2 minutes).Three lines of evidence shed light on the mechanism of GPCR activated by singlet oxygen(GPCR-ABSO):(1)CCK1R is quantitatively converted from dimer to monomer;(2)Transmembrane domain 3,a pharmacophore for permanent photodynamic CCK1R activation,can be transplanted to non-susceptible M3 acetylcholine receptor;and(3)Larger size of disordered region in intracellular loop 3 correlates with higher sensitivity to photodynamic CCK1R activation.GPCR-ABSO will add to the arsenal of engineered designer GPCR such as receptors activated solely by synthetic ligands and designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs,but show some clear advantages:Enhanced selectivity(double selectivity of localized photosensitizer and light illumination),long-lasting activation with no need for repeated drug administration,antagonist-binding site remains intact when needed,ease to apply to multiple GPCR.This type of permanent photodynamic activation may be applied to functional proteins other than GPCR.

文摘Common activations of sulfite(S(Ⅳ))-based advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)utilized metal ions and oxides as catalysts,which are constrained by challenges in catalyst recovery,inadequate stability,and susceptibility to secondary pollution in application.Calcium sulfite(CaSO_(3)),one of the byproducts of flue gas desulfurization,is of interest in AOPs because of its ability to slowly release S(Ⅳ),low toxicity,and costeffectiveness.Therefore,a heterogenous activator,molybdenum carbide(Mo_(2)C)was selected to stimulate Ca SO3for typical antibiotic elimination.Benefiting from the dissociation form of HSO_(3^(-))from CaSO_(3)and improved electron transfer of Mo_(2)C at pH 6,the simulated target metronidazole(MTZ)can be removed by 85.65%with rate constant of 0.02424 min^(-1)under near-neutral circumstance.The combining determinations of quenching test,electron spin resonance spectrum,and reactive species probe demonstrated singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2))and sulfate radicals played leading role for MTZ decontamination.Characterization and theoretical calculation suggested the alteration of Mo valence state drove the activation of S(Ⅳ),and revealed that dissolved oxygen promoted the adsorption of HSO_(3^(-))on the surface of Mo_(2)C,then facilitating production of^(1)O_(2).The favorable stability and applicability for Mo_(2)C/CaSO_(3)process indicated an applied prospect in actual pharmaceutical wastewater.

文摘Singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2)),as an electrophilic oxidant,is essential for the selective water decontamination of pollutants from water.Herein,we showcase a high-performing electrocatalytic filtration system composed of carbon nanotubes functionalized with CoFe alloy nanoparticles(CoFeCNT)to selectively facilitate the electrochemical activation of O_(2)to^(1)O_(2).Benefiting from the prominently featured bimetal active sites of CoFeCNT,nearly complete production of^(1)O_(2)is achieved by the electrocatalytic activation of O_(2).Additionally,the proposed system exhibits a consistent pollutant removal efficiency>90%in a flow-through reactor over 48 h of continuous operation without a noticeable decline in performance,highlighting the dependable stability of the system for practical applications.The flow-through configuration demonstrates a striking 8-fold enhancement in tetracycline oxidation compared to a conventional batch reactor.This work provides a molecular level understanding of the oxygen reduction reaction,showing promising potential for the selective removal of emerging organic contaminants from water.

文摘Harnessing the redox potential of biochar to activate airborne O_(2)for contaminant removal is challenging.In this study,ferrihydrite(Fh)modified the boron(B),nitrogen(N)co-doped biochars(BCs)composites(Fh/B(n)NC)were developed for enhancing the degradation of a model pollutant,tetracycline(TC),merely by airborne O_(2).Fh/B(3)NC showed excellent O_(2)activation activity for efficient TC degradation with a apparent TC degradation rate of 5.54,6.88,and 22.15 times that of B(3)NC,Fh,and raw BCs,respectively,where 1O_(2)and H_(2)O_(2)were identified as the dominant ROS for TC degradation.The B incorporation into the carbon lattice of Fh/B(3)NC promoted the generation of electron donors,sp2 C and the reductive B species,hence boosting Fe(III)reduction and 1O_(2)generation.O_(2)adsorption was enhanced due to the positively charged adsorption sites(C-B+and N-C+).And 1O_(2)was generated via Fe(II)catalyzed low-efficient successive one-electron transfer(O_(2)→O_(2)·−→1O_(2),H_(2)O_(2)),as well as biochar catalyzed high-efficient two-electron transfer(O_(2)→H_(2)O_(2)→1O_(2))that does not involve.O_(2)−as the intermediate.Moreover,Fh/B,N co-doped biochar showed a wide pH range,remarkable anti-interference capabilities,and effective detoxification.These findings shed new light on the development of environmentally benign BCs materials capable of degradading organic pollutants.
文摘Reactive oxygen species(ROS),including singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2)),hydroxyl radicals(·OH),and superoxide anions(O_(2)^(·-)),are highly reactive molecules that play central roles in many chemical,biological,and environmental processes due to their strong oxidative power[1].Generating ROS in a controlled manner under mild conditions is essential for achieving selective oxidation reactions.Light-driven methods are especially appealing for this purpose,as they offer precise control over where and when ROS are produced.

文摘A singlet diatomic molecule naturally carries doubly degenerate ±Λ states when the projection of the total electronic angular momentum onto the internuclear axis is nonzero. These doubly degenerate states contribute equally in conventional measurements and are thus treated the same in corresponding simulations. In this study, we demonstrate that in resonant excitation by intense laser pulses, the doubly degenerate ±Λ states must be clearly identified. This is exemplified in the X^(1)Σ → A^(1)Π transition of CO molecules. This distinction becomes especially important in the case of circularly polarized radiation. We attribute this phenomenon to the interference of electron-rotational pathways in the strong-field coupled transition with the ±Λ-state of the excited Π state. This research sheds light on the fundamental aspects of intense laser-molecule interactions when extending conventional theories.

文摘[Objective ]The aim of this study was to improve the photostability of pho-tosensitizers. [Method] 2,5-Diphenylthiophene and 2,5-dithienylethynylthiophene were synthesized by replacing thiophene rings of α-terthienyl (α-T) with benzene rings. Photoactivated activities on Spodoptera litura (SL) cells, singlet oxygen with UV and photostability of photosensitizers were investigated. [Result] The cytotoxicity of pho-tosensitizer 2,5-diphenylthiophene on SL cells was 0.22 and 0.16 μg/ml after treat-ment for 24 and 48 h, respectively, while that of 2,5-dithienylethynylthiophene on SL cells was 0.06 and 0.04 μg/ml. Singlet oxygen of 2,5-diphenylthiophene and 2,5-dithienylethynylthiophene was 1.047 5, 1.529 4 μg/mmol under UV, respectively. Degradation dynamic equations of 2,5-diphenylthiophene and 2,5-dithienylethynylthio-phene in methanol were Ct= 5.227 1e-0.006 1t, Ct= 5.084 2e-0.097 3t and half life was 111.79, 7.12 h. [Conclusion] Photosensitizer 2,5-diphenylthiophene has high singlet oxygen production ability, and high photoactivated cytotoxicity on SL cells under UV. Moreover, 2,5-diphenylthiophene has overcome the deficiency of photoactivated in-secticides, which is not applied directly in field because it degrades quickly in the environment.
文摘Based on a cosmological model without singularity, a possible structure of the universe is presented. It is proved that there must simultaneously be two sorts of symmetry breaking in the universe. The universe is composed of infinite s-cosmic islands, infinite v-cosmic islands and infinite transition zone. The existing and changing forms of the cosmic islands must be diverse. The cosmological principle holds only approximately within a cosmic island. No information can be exchanged between an s-cosmic island and an adjacent v-cosmic island so that every observer thinks his cosmic island to be the whole universe. It is possible that some cosmic islands are contracting, some cosmic islands are expanding, and other cosmic islands are stable for a time. But the universe as a whole is always invariable and contains all possible existing forms of matter. To give a possible explanation for orphan quasars. To predict some characteristics of contracting large and huge black holes in a cosmic island. The characteristics of the light coming from the contracting huge black holes are that the intensity of the light is huge relatively to their distance, the red shifts are huge, the distribution of the huge red shifts and the orphan quasars are anisotropic, and luminescence spectrum is very wide.

文摘A flow system was set up to measure the quenching probability ~ of O2(1△g) on various O2- adsorbed metal surfaces including Cu, Cr, Ni, and Ag. increased with both the duration of the experiment and the O2(1△g) concentration. After several hours evacuation to a few Pa, γ can return to its original value. A deactivation mechanism of O2(1△g) is suggested by considering first the weak chemisorption of O2(1△g) on the surface adsorption sites, followed by the near resonant energy transfer between the gas phase O2(1△g) and surface O2(1△g). A phenomenological model in accord with the experimental fact has been proposed together with relevant kinetic equations.

文摘Magnetic CuO nanosheet(Mag-CuO), as a cheap, stable, efficient and easily separated peroxymonosulfate(PMS) activator, was prepared by a simple one-step precipitation method for the removal of organic compounds from salt-containing wastewater.The experiments showed that the removal efficiencies of various organic pollutants including Acid Orange 7, Methylene Blue, Rhodamine B and atrazine in a high-salinity system(0.2 mol/L Na2SO4) with the Mag-CuO/PMS process were 95.81%, 74.57%, 100% and 100%,respectively.Meanwhile, Mag-CuO still maintained excellent catalytic activity in other salt systems including one or more salt components(NaCl, NaNO3, Na2HPO4, NaHCO3).A radical-quenching study and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis confirmed that singlet oxygen(1O2) was the dominant reactive oxygen species for the oxidation of organic pollutants in high-salinity systems, which is less susceptible to hindrance by background constituents in wastewater than radicals(·OH or SO4·-).The surface hydroxylation of the catalyst and catalytic redox cycle including Cu and Fe are responsible for the generation of1O2.The developed Mag-CuO catalyst shows good application prospects for the removal of organic pollutants from saline wastewater.

文摘This work was designed to explore the characteristics of photodegradation of herbicides in the copper-polluted water body. The results showed that Cu(Ⅱ) alone could induce a photo Fenton-like reaction to enhance the degradation of atrazine, in which hydroxyl radical (.OH) was a main active species. Humic acids restrained atrazine degradation, nevertheless, when introducing Cu(Ⅱ), the photodegradation was accelerated, in which singlet oxygen (102) replaced -OH acting as the prevailing species. A feasible mechanism for the photochemical process was also proposed, which is helpful for better understanding the environmental photochemistry of atrazine in the copper-polluted water.
