The as-prepared photoanodes show dramatically enhanced performance for photoelectrochemical(PEC) water splitting, compared to single semiconductor counterparts. The optical and PEC properties of In_2S_3/ZnO NSAs have been optimized by modulating the thickness of the Zn O overlayer. After pairing with ZnO, the NSAs exhibit a broadened absorption range and an increased light absorptance over a wide wavelength region of 250–850 nm. The optimized sample of In_2S_3/ZnO-50 NSAs shows a photocurrent density of 1.642 m A cm^(-2)(1.5 V vs. RHE) and an incident photonto-current efficiency of 27.64% at 380 nm(1.23 V vs.RHE), which are 70 and 116 times higher than those of the pristine In_2S_3 NSAs, respectively. A detailed energy band edge analysis reveals the type-II band alignment of the In_2S_3/ZnO heterojunction, which enables efficient separation and collection of photogenerated carriers,especially with the assistance of positive bias potential, and then results in the significantly increased PEC activity.展开更多

Herein, a general dual-colloid interface co-assembly strategy is proposed to fabricate hollow mesoporous polypyrrole nano-bowls (mPPy-nbs) for high-energy-density solid-state planar MSCs. By simply adjusting the size of block copolymer micelles, the diameter of polystyrene nanospheres and the amount of pyrrole monomer, mesopore size of the shell, void and shell thickness of mPPy-nbs can be simultaneously controlled. Importantly, this strategy can be further utilized to synthesize other hollow mesoporous polymers, including poly(tris(4-aminophenyl)amine), poly(1,3,5-triaminobenzene) and their copolymers, demonstrative of excellent universality. The structurally optimized mPPy-nb exhibits high specific surface area of 122 m^(2) g^(−1)and large capacitance of 225 F g^(−1) at 1 mV s^(−1). Furthermore, the MSCs assembled by mPPy-nbs deliver impressive volumetric capacitance of 90 F cm^(−3) and energy density of 2.0 mWh cm^(−3), superior to the most reported polymers-based MSCs. Also, the fabricated MSCs present excellent flexibility with almost no capacitance decay under varying bending states, and robust serial/parallel self-integration for boosting voltage and capacitance output. Therefore, this work will inspire the new design of mesoporous conducting polymer materials toward high-performance microscale supercapacitive devices.展开更多

Here we designed mesoporous silica vesicles（MSVs） with large pore sizes as a novel drug delivery system. The MSVs were synthesized using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide（CTAB） as a structure-directing agent, tetraethoxysilane（TEOS） as silica source in n-hexane/water biliquid system. By virtue of the large pore size and large pore volume of the MSVs, Gem was loaded into the mesoporous of MSVs via ＂nanocasting＂ method. In vitro drug release experiments of gemcitabineloaded MSVs showed an accelerating release of gemcitabine in acidic condition. These fluorescently labeled MSVs could be effectively internalized by both a human（BxPC-3） and a mouse pancreatic cancer cell lines（Pan02）. Additionally, some MSVs could even reach the nuclei of the pancreatic cancer cells. Cell viability assays demonstrated that gemcitabine-loaded MSVs exhibited enhanced anticancer activity in inhibiting the proliferation of Bx PC-3 and Pan02 cells compared with free Gem, while the MSVs alone showed no significant cytotoxicity. Our results indicate that our synthesized MSVs might represent a promising novel drug delivery platform for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.展开更多

The present study is designed to investigate if PC can inhibit angiogenesis in lung adenocarcinoma xenografts through crosslinking vascular extracellular matrix （ECM） and preventing proteolysis by matrix metalloproteinases （MMPs）. Methods： Using the in vitro MMP-2 proteolysis and in vivo subcutaneous implantation models, we investigated if PC crosslinking inhibits MMP-mediated proteolysis. Using a cultured cell detachment assay, an in vitro angiogenesis assay, and a cell proliferation assay, we investigated if PC inhibits MMP-2-mediated endothelial cell detachment, angiogenesis, and cell proliferation, respectively. Using tumor xenografts, we evaluated if PC can inhibit growth of lung adenocarcinoma. Results： PC crosslink vascular ECM proteins, protecting them against proteolysis by MMPs in vitro and in vivo, protecting cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells from detachment by MMP-2, and inhibiting in vitro angiogenesis. However, PC （0.75-100 μg/mL） did not inhibit vascular and tumor cells proliferation. PC injections （30 mg PC/kg bodyweight） in situ had anticancer effects on xenografts of lung adenocarcinoma, most likely by inhibiting angiogenesis during ECM proteolysis by MMPs. Conclusion： The results suggest that PC may be important MMP inhibitors that can be used as therapeutic anticancer agents.展开更多

However, the insulation characteristic of sulfur and severe polysulfide dissolution hindered their development. We presented a facile approach to fabricate Li-S batteries by coating commercial carbon nanotube or graphene slurries on normal sulfur cathode electrode to construct a dual-layer cathode electrode. The conductive CNT or graphene layer could not only improve the conductivity of sulfur cathode, but also suppress the polysulfide diffusion. The CNT@S cathode delivered a high reversible capacity of 740 mAh/g over 300 cycles at 1 C and 870 mAh/g over 100 cycles at 0.2 C. Furthermore, this strategy could be realized on the commercial product line of lithium-ion batteries, which made it possible to large-scale produce Li-S batteries.展开更多

文摘Green and recyclable solid acid catalysts are in urgent demand as a substitute for conventional liquid mineral acids.In this work,a series of novel sulfonic acid-functionalized core-shell Fe_(3)O_(4)@carbon microspheres(Fe_(3)O_(4)@C-SO_(3)H)have been designed and synthesized as an efficient and recyclable heterogeneous acid catalyst.For the synthesis,core-shell Fe_(3)O_(4)@RF(resorcinol-formaldehyde)microspheres with tunable shell thickness were achieved by interfacial polymerization on magnetic Fe_(3)O_(4)microspheres.After high-temperature carbonization,the microspheres were eventually treated by surface sulfonation,re sulting in Fe_(3)O_(4)@C-x-SO_(3)H(x stands for carbonization temperature)microspheres with abundant surface SO_(3)H groups.The obtained microspheres possess uniform core-shell structure,partially-graphitized carbon skeletons,superparamagnetic property,high magnetization saturation value of 10.6 emu/g,and rich SO_(3)H groups.The surface acid amounts can be adju sted in the range of 0.59-1.04 mmol/g via sulfonation treatment of carbon shells with different graphitization degrees.The magnetic Fe_(3)O_(4)@C-x-SO_(3)H microspheres were utilized as a solid acid catalyst for the acetalization reaction between benzaldehyde and ethylene glycol,demonstrating high selectivity(97%)to benzaldehyde ethylene glycol acetal.More importantly,by applying an external magnetic field,the catalysts can be easily separated from the heterogeneous reaction solutions,which later show well preserved catalytic activity even after 9 cycles,revealing good recyclability and high stability.

文摘Acephate pesticide contamination in agricultural production has caused serious human health problems.Metal oxide semiconductor(MOS)gas sensor can be used as a portable and promising alternative tool for efficiently detection of acephate.In this study,hierarchical assembled SnO_(2)nanosphere,SnO_(2)hollow nanosphere and SnO_2 nanoflower were synthesized respectively as high efficiency sensing materials to build rapid and selective acephate pesticide residues sensors.The morphologies of different SnO_(2)3 D nanostructures were characterized by various material characterization technology.The sensitive performance test results of the 3 D SnO_(2)nanomaterials towards acephate show that hollow nanosphere SnO_(2)based sensor displayed preferable sensitivity,selectivity,and rapid response(9 s)properties toward acephate at the optimal working temperature(300℃).This SnO_(2)hollow nanosphere based gas sensor represents a useful tool for simple and highly effective monitoring of acephate pesticide residues in food and environment.According to the characterization results,particularly Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET)and Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy(UV-vis),the obvious and fast response can be attributed to the mesoporous hollow nanosphere structure and appropriate band gap of SnO_2 hollow nanosphere.

文摘Gemcitabine（Gem） is currently the first-line chemotherapeutic drug in management of pancreatic cancer, however the therapeutic efficacy of Gem is limited due to its short half-life and poor cell membrane permeability. Here we designed mesoporous silica vesicles（MSVs） with large pore sizes as a novel drug delivery system. The MSVs were synthesized using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide（CTAB） as a structure-directing agent, tetraethoxysilane（TEOS） as silica source in n-hexane/water biliquid system. By virtue of the large pore size and large pore volume of the MSVs, Gem was loaded into the mesoporous of MSVs via ＂nanocasting＂ method. In vitro drug release experiments of gemcitabineloaded MSVs showed an accelerating release of gemcitabine in acidic condition. These fluorescently labeled MSVs could be effectively internalized by both a human（BxPC-3） and a mouse pancreatic cancer cell lines（Pan02）. Additionally, some MSVs could even reach the nuclei of the pancreatic cancer cells. Cell viability assays demonstrated that gemcitabine-loaded MSVs exhibited enhanced anticancer activity in inhibiting the proliferation of Bx PC-3 and Pan02 cells compared with free Gem, while the MSVs alone showed no significant cytotoxicity. Our results indicate that our synthesized MSVs might represent a promising novel drug delivery platform for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

文摘The rapid development of internet and internet of things brings new opportunities for the expansion of intelligent sensors,and acetone as a major disease detection indicator(i.e.,diabetes)making it become extremely important clinical indicator.Herein,uniform mesoporous ZnO spheres were successfully synthesized via novel formaldehyde-assisted metal-ligand crosslinking strategy.In order to adjust the pore structure of mesoporous ZnO,various mesoporous ZnO spheres were synthesized by changing weight percentage of Zn(NO_(3))_(2)·6 H_(2)O to tannic acid(TA).Moreover,highly active heterojunction mesoporous ZnO/Co_(3)O_(4)has been fabricated based on as-prepared ultra-small Co_(3)O_(4)nanocrystals(ca.3 nm)and mesoporous ZnO spheres by flexible impregnation technique.Profit from nano-size effect and synergistic effect of p-n heterojunction,mesoporous ZnO/Co_(3)O_(4)exhibited excellent acetone sensing performance with high selectivity,superior sensitivity and responsiveness.Typically,5 wt%Co_(3)O_(4)embedded mesoporous ZnO sphere showed prominent acetone response(ca.46 for 50 ppm),which was about 11.5 times higher than that in pure ZnO sensing device,and it was also endowed high cyclic stability.The nanocrystals embedded hybrid material is expected to be used as promising efficient material in the field of catalysis and gas sensing.

文摘As a key biomarker for noninvasive diagnosis of diabetes,the selective detection of trace acetone in exhaled gas using a portable and low-cost device remains a great challenge.Semiconductor metal oxide(SMO)based gas sensors have drawn signification attention due to their potential in miniaturization,user-friendliness,high cost-effectiveness and selective real-time detection for noninvasive clinical diagnosis.Herein,we propose a one-pot solvent evaporation induced tricomponent co-assembly strategy to design a novel ordered mesoporous SMO of silica-implanted WO_(3)(Si O_(2)/WO_(3))as sensing materials for trace acetone detection.The controlled co-assembly of silicon and tungsten precursors and amphiphilic diblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)-block-polystyrene(PEO-b-PS),and the subsequent thermal treatment enable the local lattice disorder of WO_(3)induced by the amorphous silica and the formation of ordered mesoporous Si O_(2)/WO_(3)hybrid walls with a unique metastableε-phase WO_(3)framework.The obtained mesoporous SiO_(2)/WO_(3)composites possess highly crystalline framework with large uniform pore size(12.0-13.3 nm),high surface area(99-113 m^(2)/g)and pore volume(0.17-0.23 cm^(3)/g).Typically,the asfabricated gas sensor based on mesoporous 2.5%Si O_(2)/WO_(3)exhibits rapid response/recovery rate(5/17 s),superior sensitivity(R_(air)/R_(gas)=105 for 50 ppm acetone),as well as high selectivity towards acetone.The limit of detection is as low as 0.25 ppm,which is considerably lower than the thresh value of acetone concentration(>1.1 ppm)in the exhaled breath of diabetic patients,demonstrating its great prospect in real-time monitoring in diabetes diagnosis.Moreover,the mesoporous 2.5%Si O_(2)/WO_(3)sensor is integrated into a wireless sensing module connected to a smart phone,providing a convenient real-time detection of acetone.

文摘The light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) is a semiconductor-based cellular biosensor with an electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) structure.By depositing biocompatible layers on the sensing surface for cell culture, it can be used to detect bioelectrical parameters of cells.The characteristic curve for photocurrent versus applied bias voltage to the system shows a current-voltage curve (Ⅰ-Ⅴcurve).This technique can be used to detect the action potential changes towards different drugs based on the bias voltage dependence of an optical current,and provides a dynamic system by scanning light beam at the very cell on the sensor device.The LAPS overcomes the limitation of recording sites,but high spatial resolution and sensitivity are also paramount.This paper discussed a novel structure of LAPS array for extracellular monitoring to decrease potential noise level.Both characteristics of active recording array areas and cell culture conditions are measured.

文摘The coupling of fast redox kinetics,high-energy density,and prolonged lifespan is a permanent aspiration for aqueous rechargeable zinc batteries,but which has been severely hampered by a narrow voltage range and suboptimal compatibility between the electrolytes and electrodes.Here,we unprecedentedly introduced an electric ambipolar effect for synergistic manipulation on Zn^(2+)ternary-hydrated eutectic electrolyte(ZTE)enabling high-performance Zn-Br_(2)batteries.The electric ambipolar effect motivates strong dipole interactions among hydrated perchlorates and bipolar ligands of L-carnitine(L-CN)and sulfamide,which reorganized primary cations solvation sheath in a manner of forming Zn[(L-CN)(SA)(H_(2)O)_(4)]^(2+)configuration and dynamically restricting desolvated H2O molecules,thus ensuring a broadened electrochemical window of 2.9 V coupled with high ionic conductivity.Noticeably,L-CN affords an electrostatic shielding effect and an in situ construction of organic-inorganic interphase,endowing oriented Zn anode plating/stripping reversibly for over 2400 h.Therefore,with the synergy of electro/nucleophilicity and exceptional compatibility,the ZTE electrolyte dynamically boosts the conversion redox of Zn-Br_(2)batteries in terms of high specific capacity and stable cycling performance.These findings open a window for designing electrolytes with synergetic chemical stability and compatibility toward advanced zinc-ion batteries.

文摘This paper reports a high-performance H2S gas sensing material that is made of ZnO nanowires(NWs)modified by an optimal amount of ZnS to form nano-hete rojunctions.Compared with the intrinsic ZnONWs,the three differently modified nano-heterostructure material ZnO-ZnS-x(x=5,10,15)shows significant improvement in sensing performance to H2S at the working temperatures of 100-400℃,especially in the low temperature range(<300℃).The chemiresistive sensor with ZnO-ZnS-10 sensingmaterial exhibits the largest response signal to H2S among all the other ZnO-ZnS-x(x=5,10,15,20)sensors.Its response signal to 5 ppm H2S at 150℃is about 2.7 times to that of the ZnO-NWs sensor.Besides,the ZnO-ZnS-10 sensor also features satisfactory selectivity and repeatability at 150℃.With the technical advantage attributed to the reduction of the redesigned band gap at the interface between ZnO and ZnS,the ZnO-ZnS hete ro structure sensor rather than the traditional ZnO-NWs sensor can be used for high-sensitivity application at low working temperature.

文摘Objective： Procyanidins （PC） are widely available natural polyphenols. The present study is designed to investigate if PC can inhibit angiogenesis in lung adenocarcinoma xenografts through crosslinking vascular extracellular matrix （ECM） and preventing proteolysis by matrix metalloproteinases （MMPs）. Methods： Using the in vitro MMP-2 proteolysis and in vivo subcutaneous implantation models, we investigated if PC crosslinking inhibits MMP-mediated proteolysis. Using a cultured cell detachment assay, an in vitro angiogenesis assay, and a cell proliferation assay, we investigated if PC inhibits MMP-2-mediated endothelial cell detachment, angiogenesis, and cell proliferation, respectively. Using tumor xenografts, we evaluated if PC can inhibit growth of lung adenocarcinoma. Results： PC crosslink vascular ECM proteins, protecting them against proteolysis by MMPs in vitro and in vivo, protecting cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells from detachment by MMP-2, and inhibiting in vitro angiogenesis. However, PC （0.75-100 μg/mL） did not inhibit vascular and tumor cells proliferation. PC injections （30 mg PC/kg bodyweight） in situ had anticancer effects on xenografts of lung adenocarcinoma, most likely by inhibiting angiogenesis during ECM proteolysis by MMPs. Conclusion： The results suggest that PC may be important MMP inhibitors that can be used as therapeutic anticancer agents.

文摘Bio-inspired hierarchical self-assembly provides elegant and powerful bottom-up strategies for the creation of complex materials.However,the current self-assembly approaches for natural bio-compounds often result in materials with limited diversity and complexity in architecture as well as microstructure.Here,we develop a novel coordination polymerization-driven hierarchical assembly of micelle strategy,using phytic acid-based natural compounds as an example,for the spatially controlled fabrication of metal coordination bio-derived polymers.The resultant ferric phytate polymer nanospheres feature hollow architecture,ordered meso-channels of^12 nm,high surface area of 401 m2 g−1,and large pore volume of 0.53 cm3 g−1.As an advanced anode material,this bio-derivative polymer delivers a remarkable reversible capacity of 540 mAh g−1 at 50 mA g−1,good rate capability,and cycling stability for sodium-ion batteries.This study holds great potential of the design of new complex bio-materials with supramolecular chemistry.

文摘Lithium sulfur(Li-S) batteries are regarded as promising candidates for next-generation rechargeable batteries. However, the insulation characteristic of sulfur and severe polysulfide dissolution hindered their development. We presented a facile approach to fabricate Li-S batteries by coating commercial carbon nanotube or graphene slurries on normal sulfur cathode electrode to construct a dual-layer cathode electrode. The conductive CNT or graphene layer could not only improve the conductivity of sulfur cathode, but also suppress the polysulfide diffusion. The CNT@S cathode delivered a high reversible capacity of 740 mAh/g over 300 cycles at 1 C and 870 mAh/g over 100 cycles at 0.2 C. Furthermore, this strategy could be realized on the commercial product line of lithium-ion batteries, which made it possible to large-scale produce Li-S batteries.
