Allogeneic blood vessels are regarded as one of the best natural substitutes for diseased blood vessels due to their good vascular compliance and histocompatibility. Since the supply and demand of allograft blood vessels do not always match in time and space, a good preservation scheme for isolated blood vessels is essential. The abdominal aortas of 110 male Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups, including cold storage group (4°C) (CSG), frozen storage group (FSG) and ambient storage group (25 ± 2°C) (ASG). Seven time points of preservation for 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 30 and 90 days were set for detection. The changes in vascular physiological function were evaluated by MTT test and vasoconstriction ability detection, and the changes in vascular wall structure were evaluated by the tension tolerance test and pathological staining. The vascular function of CSG was better than FSG within first the 7 days, but the result was opposite since the 14th day. The vascular wall structure, collagen and elastic fibres of vessels, in CSG, showed oedema within 30 days, and continuous disintegration and rupture at 90 days. The vessel wall structure of FSG remained intact within 90 days. The tensile strength of the vessels in CSG was better than that in FSG within 5 days, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups between the 7th and 30th day, and then, the FSG was higher than CSG on the 90th day. Both cold storage and frozen storage could be applied as safe and effective preservation schemes for isolated rat artery within first 30 days. Cold storage is recommended when the storage time is <14 days, and then, frozen storage is better.

Novel porous hollow carbon nanospheres (HCNS) have been synthesized and utilized as scaffold for LiBH 4 –Mg(BH 4 ) 2 eutectic borohydride (LMBH). Large loading amounts of LMBH (33, 50 and 67 wt%) have been melt-infiltrated into HCNS, and the significantly improved dehydrogenation properties have been discovered. The LMBH@HCNS composites not only exhibit high actual dehydrogenation amounts and fast hydrogen desorption rates, but also an increased reversible hydrogen storage capacities after three cycles without obvious degradation. Further structural tests have revealed that the over-infiltrated LMBH covering the spherical surface of HCNS could also contribute to the improved hydrogen storage behaviors, due to a strong interfacial adhesion effect that avoid LMBH from aggregation during de/rehydrogenation cycles.

A new reversible hydrogen storage system, 3NaBH 4 -0.5ScF 3 -0.5YF 3 , was synthesized by using the ball-milling method. It is shown that no reaction occurs during the ball-milling process. The hydrogen desorption process of the ball-milled composite can be divided into three consecutive steps: (i) An initial stage from room temperature to 320 °C with about 0.42 wt% of hydrogen released, that can be ascribed to the substitution of H − by F − in NaBH 4 ; (ii) The second stage starts from 320 °C to 450 °C, releasing about 1.06 wt% of hydrogen; (iii) The final stage ranges from 450 °C to 480 °C, with 2.58 wt% of hydrogen released. The total yield of hydrogen reaches 4.06 wt% at 480 °C. The completely dehydrogenated products of the 3NaBH 4 -0.5ScF 3 -0.5YF 3 composite can absorb 2.15 wt% of hydrogen at 380 °C in 6.5 h, which shows greatly enhanced reversibility when compared with sole ScF 3 addition. It should be noted that one of the destabilizers ScF 3 was also regenerated besides NaBH 4 in the rehydrogenated products. Based on the XRD and FTIR analyses, the synergistic effects of 3d transition metal fluoride ScF 3 and rare earth metal fluoride YF 3 on the hydrogen desorption and absorption performance of NaBH 4 were discussed.

BACKGROUND Acetaldehyde is an important flavor component in beer which is possibly carcinogenic to humans. Owing to the limitations of present detection methods, only free-state acetaldehyde in beers has been focused on, while acetal in beers has hardly been reported so far. RESULTS A sensitive headspace gas chromatography method was developed for the determination of diethylacetal and acetaldehyde in beer. The column DB-23 was chosen with a total run time of 22.5 min. The optimal addition amount of NaCl, equilibrium temperature and equilibrium time were 2.0 g, 70 °C and 30 min respectively. For both diethylacetal and acetaldehyde analyses, the limit of detection was 0.005 mg L −1 with relative standard deviation < 5.5%. The recoveries of acetaldehyde and diethylacetal were 95–110 and 95–115% respectively. The diethylacetal and acetaldehyde average contents in 24 beer products were 11.83 and 4.36 mg L −1 respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient between diethylacetal and acetaldehyde was the highest (0.963). Both diethylacetal and acetaldehyde contents increased to a peak value after fermentation for 3 days and then decreased to a lower value. During both normal and forced aging storage, the diethylacetal content decreased and the acetaldehyde content increased gradually over time. When beers were forced aged for 4 days, the increased ratio of acetaldehyde could be above 40.00%. CONCLUSION The newly established method can be used to assess acetaldehyde level and flavor quality in beer more scientifically. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

Pt/BaO/Al 2 O 3 catalysts with different BaO loadings prepared from Al 2 O 3 nanorods (Pt/BaO/Al 2 O 3 -nr) and irregular Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles (Pt/BaO/Al 2 O 3 -np) were investigated for NO x storage and reduction (NSR). The Pt/BaO/Al 2 O 3 materials derived from Al 2 O 3 nanorods always exhibited much higher NO x storage capacity (NSC) over the whole temperature range of 100–400°C than the corresponding Pt/BaO/Al 2 O 3 -np samples containing the same BaO loading, giving the maximum NSC value of 966.9 μmol/g cat at 400°C, 1.4 times higher than that of Pt/BaO/Al 2 O 3 -np. Higher catalytic performance of nanorod-supported NSR samples was also observed during lean-rich cyclic conditions (90 sec vs. 5 sec), giving more than 98% NO x conversion at 300–450°C over the Pt/BaO/Al 2 O 3 -nr sample with 15% BaO loading. To reveal this dependence on the shape of the support during the NSR process, a series of characterization techniques including the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H 2 temperature programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR), and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) were also conducted. It was found that intimate contact of Ba–Al and Ba–Pt sites was achieved over the Pt/BaO/Al 2 O 3 surface when using Al 2 O 3 -nr as a support. This strong interaction among the multi-components of Pt/BaO/Al 2 O 3 -nr thus triggered the formation of surface nitrite and nitrate during the lean period, and also accelerated the reverse spillover of ad-NO x species onto the Pt surface, enhancing their reduction and leading to high NSR performance.

Using a deposition-reduction method, Mg/MOF nanocomposites were prepared as composites of Mg and metal-organic framework materials (MOFs = ZIF-8, ZIF-67 and MOF-74). The addition of MOFs can enhance the hydrogen storage properties of Mg. For example, within 5000 s, 0.6 wt%, 1.2 wt%, 2.7 wt%, 3.7 wt% of hydrogen were released from Mg, Mg/MOF-74, Mg/ZIF-8, Mg/ZIF-67, respectively. Activation energy values of 198.9 kJ mol −1 H 2 , 161.7 kJ mol −1 H 2 , 192.1 kJ mol −1 H 2 were determined for the Mg/ZIF-8, Mg/ZIF-67, Mg/MOF-74 hydrides, which are 6 kJ mol −1 H 2 , 43.2 kJ mol −1 H 2 , and 12.8 kJ mol −1 H 2 lower than that of Mg hydride, respectively. Moreover, the cyclic stability characterizing Mg hydride was significantly improved when adding ZIF-67. The hydrogen storage capacity of the Mg/ZIF-67 nanocomposite remained unchanged, even after 100 cycles of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation. This excellent cyclic stability may have resulted from the core-shell structure of the Mg/ZIF-67 nanocomposite.

Gas hydrate technology is a new gas storage method developed in recent years and has great application potential. Due to the slow formation kinetics of hydrate and the low actual gas storage density, it is a promising method to prepare the fixed bed filled with wet porous materials to inducing adsorption-hydration coupling effect, so as to improve the gas storage efficiency. In this study, various additives including THF, TBAB and diesel oil were added to the water-bearing activated carbon fixed bed to improve its gas storage capacity. Our experimental results show that the addition of THF or TBAB can significantly promote the gas storage performance of the bed. At the optimum concentration of THF (7.5 wt%), the gas storage density of bed (S b ) and gas storage capacity of hydrate (S w ) were 128.66 V/V b and 194.26 V/V w , which are 2.89 times and 3.07 times higher than those of wet activated carbon fixed bed without additives, respectively. When 5 wt% TBAB was added, the S b and S w were increased by 1.86 times and 1.87 times, respectively. Moreover, using diesel to establish gas channels in the fixed bed to improve the gas mass transfer between the bulk gas phase and the fixed bed can also significantly improve the gas storage performance of the bed. When the oil-carbon ratio (R o ) is 0.5, the S b and S w are 97.97 V/V b and 172.77 V/V w , respectively. However, further increasing the amount of diesel oil will not significantly improve the gas storage density of the bed due to the volume increase of the bed caused by the addition of diesel. When both diesel oil and THF are added to the water-containing fixed bed, the effect will be not significantly better than that of the bed with diesel oil or THF alone because the two accelerators compete with each other. Finally, the gas release and decomposition speed of the water-bearing fixed bed with / without 7.5 wt%THF are investigated. The results show that the final gas recovery of the bed with 7.5 wt% THF could reach 95.01 %, indicating a good application prospect.

In this paper, we report amorphous-carbon-supported TiB2 nanoparticles having sizes of 2–4 nm (nano-TiB2@C) as highly active catalysts for hydrogen storage in NaAlH4. Nano-TiB2@C was synthesized by a simple calcination at 550°C with Cp2TiCl2 and MgB2 (molar ratio of 1:1) as precursors. The addition of 7 wt% nano-TiB2@C reduced the onset dehydrogenation temperature of NaAlH4 by 100 to 75°C. A practically available hydrogen capacity of 5.04 wt% could be desorbed at 140°C within 60 min, and completely hydrogenated at 100°C within 25 min under a hydrogen pressure of 100 bar. Notably, the hydrogen capacity was almost unchanged after 20 cycles, which shows the stable cyclability, considerably higher than those of structures catalyzed by Ti halides or TiO2. The stable catalytic function was closely related to the in-situ-formed Ti–Al alloy, which considerably facilitated the dissociation and recombination of H–H and Al–H bondings.

Phase change materials (PCMs) are promising candidates for enhancing the efficiency of solar thermal energy utilization owing to their excellent capacity of storing thermal energy. However, the issues of leakage, poor thermal conductivity, and high flammability have hindered their application. Here, we have successfully designed and prepared flame-retardant PCMs through chemical modification of stearyl alcohol (SAL) with a phosphorus-containing molecule. Form-stable phase change composites were then fabricated through a vacuum impregnation method, where an MXene with a porous architecture serves as the supporting skeleton for PCMs. As expected, benefiting from the high aspect ratio and strong capillary force of the MXene aerogel as well as the interfacial interaction between the PCM molecule and MXene, the resulting MXene-based PCMs (PSM-4) exhibit a large thermal conductivity (0.486 W m −1 K −1 ) and are form-stable upon heating up to 90°C. Additionally, the combination of phosphorus and MXene further strengthens the flame retardancy of PCMs, e.g., the peak heat release rate and total heat release are reduced by 42.8% and 32.1%, respectively. The improvement of flame retardancy can be assigned to the catalytic charring and barrier effect in the condensed phase as well as to the effect of free radical quenching in the gas phase. Hence, the obtained MXene-based flame-retardant PCMs can be potentially utilized for safe and efficient applications of solar energy storage.

Three kinds of transition metal fluorides TMF x (TM = Nb, Co, Ti) were introduced into the 3NaBH 4 -GdF 3 hydrogen storage system via mechanical milling. Their effects on the hydrogen storage behaviors of 3NaBH 4 -GdF 3 were systematically investigated by means of DSC and volumetric methods. All TMF x exhibited promoting effect on hydrogen desorption properties of 3NaBH 4 -GdF 3 to different degrees, especially when NbF 5 or TiF 3 was added. For example, the hydrogen desorption peak temperature was decreased by 17 °C with doping 3 mol% of NbF 5 . Besides, TiF 3 improved also the hydrogen absorption capacity and reversibility of 3NaBH 4 -GdF 3 . Based on XRD analyses, the role of TMF x on the dehydrogenation and the promoting effect of TiF 3 on the reversibility of 3NaBH 4 -GdF 3 were clarified. This work helped to understand the combination effect of rare earth metal fluoride (GdF 3 ) and transition metal fluorides on the reversible hydrogen storage properties of NaBH 4 .

A mesoporous LaCoO 3 perovskite oxide (LaCoO 3 -Meso) with three-dimensionally ordered helical interwoven structure was synthesized by a nano-casting method using KIT-6 as the hard template. The obtained LaCoO 3 -Meso with high surface area was tested for its catalytic performance in the NO x storage and reduction (NSR) reaction and compared with a sample synthesized by the conventional sol-gel method. The LaCoO 3 -Meso showed a significant advantage for NO x storage, with a NO x storage capacity 2 times higher than the regular sample. LaCoO 3 -Meso also exhibited improved NSR catalytic performance in the 150–450 °C temperature range, especially within 350–400 °C, where the NO x conversion was raised for 40%. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure measurements suggested the presence of a high concentration of oxygen defects on the LaCoO 3 -Meso surface. Further results provided by temperature programmed reduction and temperature programmed desorption indicated that the oxygen defects not only increase the amount of trapped NO x , but also improve the low-temperature redox performance of the catalyst. The lower stability of NO x species adsorbed on oxygen defects promotes the NO x release step in the NSR reaction and benefits the regeneration of storage sites.

Cuticular wax chemicals differ among fruit cultivars and contribute to storage ability. However, wax analysis in apple cultivars, particularly during storage, has not been described. In this work, the chemicals and crystal structures of cuticular wax in 10 apple cultivars were analyzed to observe wax functions in apple during storage. Results showed that alkanes and primary alcohols decreased while fatty acids increased in stored fruits of all cultivars compared with the fruits before storage. Terpenoids , aldehydes, and phenols were observed in stored fruits but not in the fruits before storage in all cultivars except ‘Red Star’ fruit. The weight loss rate was significantly correlated with six components including C13 alcohol, C14 alkanes, total alkanes, total wax, C13 alkanes and C54 alkanes in 10 cultivar apple fruits during storage. Our findings indicate that the total wax, particularly alkanes, in the peel of apple fruits is essential for storage and quality control.
