In this study, novel 1-methylpropargyl alcohol derivatives containing leucine side groups on their side chains were successfully synthesized and polymerized using (nbd)Rh + [η 6 -C 6 H 5 B − (C 6 H 5 ) 3 ] as catalyst. Circular dichroism (CD) and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectra revealed that the polymers took predominantly one-handed helical structures that were stable under heat. Deprotection of the t-butyloxycarboryl (Boc) groups in the homopolymers under acidic conditions produced polymers with primary amine moieties on the side chains. The polymers were soluble in aqueous medium, and turbidity test revealed that they were pH-responsive. Amino acid-based polymers were further used in the enantionselective crystallization of alanine enantiomers and l -alanine was preferably induced to crystallize with the l -leucine-based polymer.

Structural conversion using core-shell silver (Ag)-platinum (Pt) nanoparticles as starting materials is a promising way to produce nanocomposites consisting of silver sulfide (Ag 2 S) and hollow Pt nanostructures (Ag 2 S-hPtNCs). However, the mechanism behind the structural conversion process is yet to be understood. In this study, we use transmission electron microscope (TEM) as a typical tool to characterize the products formed in different structural conversion processes, and interpret the experimental observations by proposing mechanisms behind the reactions between core-shell Ag-Pt nanoparticles and sulfur precursors from different sources. We then design additional experiments to rationalize the formation mechanism we proposed. The mechanistic understanding of the structural conversion from bimetallic core-shell nanostructures to heterogeneous nanocomposites may extend the fabrication of heterogeneous nanocomposites for a given technological application.

This article reports a facile controllable approach to prepare monodisperse nonspherical colloidal particles with cavity structures by one-pot soap-free emulsion polymerization of styrene (St), 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (MPS), and acrylic acid (AA). In our strategy, only by varying the feeding time of AA to the as-polymerized St and MPS, the nonspherical latex particles with single cavity of different surface roughness and multicavity structures could be successfully synthesized. The depth and width of the cavity can be also easily controlled by adjusting the amount of MPS and AA. A possible formation mechanism is proposed on the basis of experimental results. These nonspherical colloidal particles, which have controllable cavity structures, are good building blocks or templates for the construction of functional coating and complex colloidal architectures. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Butachlor is an effective herbicide to deal with undesired weeds selectively and is used at high levels in Asian countries. However, its interaction and impairment effect on BSA was still not clear. In this study, we investigated the interaction between butachlor and bovine serum albumin (BSA) by multi-spectroscopic methods including UV absorption , circular dichroism (CD) spectra, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and fluorescence spectra under physiological conditions (pH = 7.4). The results revealed that there was a static quenching of BSA induced by butachlor stemmed from the formation of complex. Based on thermodynamic data, the interaction of butachlor with BSA was due to happen, and van der Waals force as well as hydrogen bond were the major forces contributed to the interaction. The binding constant K b and number of binding site of butachlor with BSA were 5.158 × 10 5 and 1.372 at 303 K, respectively. The distance r between donor (BSA) and acceptor (butachlor) was 0.113 nm, obtained according to the Förster theory. The results revealed that butachlor induced conformational changes in BSA but the secondary structure of BSA was still retained. In addition, the microenvironment around chromophore residues of BSA, for example, tryptophan , changed as well, resulting from the formation of more hydrogen bonds.

Series of Bi 2 MoO 6 /NiAl-LDH hetero-junction photocatalysts were synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method with a self-assembled process. It indicated that the in-situ intercalated NiAl-LDH showed a tight contact with Bi 2 MoO 6 layers and thus exhibited the rapid transfer of photogenerated electrons on the interface. The photocatalytic performance was evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The resulted Bi 2 MoO 6 /NiAl-LDH sample showed a higher visible-light photocatalytic activity for the degradation of RhB than any single component. The optimal LDH content in Bi 2 MoO 6 /NiAl-LDH is 15% with the degradation efficiency for more than 90% during 60 min. The excessive amount of NiAl-LDH in Bi 2 MoO 6 /NiAl-LDH could reduce the light absorption efficiency of Bi 2 MoO 6 and thus affected the generation of photoinduced electron–hole pairs. The enhanced photocatalytic activity and stability of Bi 2 MoO 6 /NiAl-LDH was attributed to the synergistic effects of the introduction of narrow band-gap NiAl-LDH and the construction of layered hetero-junction. Our synthetic method of self-assembly sheets has certain guided significance for the synthesis and application of other photocatalysts.

Developing non-noble metal catalysts with excellent electrocatalytic performance and stability is of great significance to hydrogen production by water electrolysis, but there are still problems of low activity, complex preparation and high cost. Herein, we fabricated a novel Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 dual-functional electrocatalyst by a one-step fast electrodeposition on nickel foam (NF). While maintaining the electrocatalytic performance of Ni 3 S 2 , the existence of heterostructure and Ni(OH) 2 co-catalyst function greatly improves the overall water splitting performance of Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 –NF. Hence, It shows a low overpotential of 66 mV at 10 mA cm −2 for HER and 249 mV at 20 mA cm −2 for OER. The dual-functional electrocatalyst needs only 1.58 V at 20 mA cm −2 when assembled two-electrode electrolytic cell. Impressively, the electrocatalyst also shows outstanding catalytic stability for about 800 h when 20 and 50 mA cm −2 constant current was applied, respectively which demonstrates a potential electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Although the binary sulfides Bi2S3, PbS, and SnS have attracted extensive interest as thermoelectric materials, no quaternary sulfides containing Sn/Pb/Bi/S elements have been reported. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new quaternary sulfide, SnPb2Bi2S6, which crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with unit cell parameters of a = 20.5458(12) Å, b = 4.0925(4) Å, c = 13.3219(10) Å. SnPb2Bi2S6 has a lillianite-type crystal structure consisting of two alternately aligned NaCl-type structural motifs separated by a mirror plane of PbS7 monocapped trigonal prisms. In the lillianite homologous series, SnPb2Bi2S6 can be classified as 4,4L, where the superscripted numbers indicate the maximum numbers of edge-sharing octahedra in the two adjacent NaCl-shaped slabs along the diagonal direction. The obtained SnPb2Bi2S6 phase exhibited good thermal stability up to 1000 K and n-type degenerate semiconducting behavior, with a power factor of 3.7 μW cm–1 K–2 at 773 K. Notably, this compound exhibited a very low lattice thermal conductivity of 0.69–0.92 W m–1 K–1 at 300–1000 K. Theoretical calculations revealed that the low thermal conductivity is caused by the complex crystal structure and the related elastic properties of a low Debye temperature, low phonon velocity, and large Grüneisen parameters. A reasonable figure of merit (ZT) of ∼0.3 was obtained at 770 K.

The kinetic of non-isothermal crystallization of Poly (ethylene terephthalate-co-sodium-5-sulfo- iso -phthalate) (PETI) was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Various macrokinetic models namely the Avrami, Tobin, Ozawa, and Ziabicki were used to describe the non-isothermal crystallization process of PETI. Both of the Avrami crystallization rate constant and the Tobin crystallization rate constant were observed to increase with increasing cooling rate. The Avrami model is better than the Tobin model to describe the non-isothermal crystallization process of PETI. The Ozawa crystallization rate K O was found to decrease with increasing cooling rate, while Ziabicki’s kinetic crystallizability parameter G Z was found to increase with increasing cooling rate. The effective energy barrier △E for non-isothermal crystallization process of PETI, analyzed based on the differential iso-conversional method of Friedman, was found to be an increasing function of the relative crystallinity.

This paper is focused on the effects of radio frequency (RF) heating on the relative activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), weight loss, texture, color, and microstructure of potatoes. The results showed that pure mushroom PPO was almost completely inactivated at 80 °C by RF heating. The relative activity of potato PPO reduced to less than 10% with increasing temperature (25–85 °C). Enzyme extract showed the lowest PPO relative activity at 85 °C after RF treatment, followed by the potato cuboids and mashed potato, about 0.19 ± 0.017%, 3.24 ± 0.19%, and 3.54 ± 0.04%, respectively. Circular dichroism analysis indicated that RF heating changed the secondary structure of PPO, as α-helix content decreased. Both electrode gap and temperature had significant effect ( P < .05) on weight loss, color, and texture of the potato cuboids. Microstructure analysis showed the changes of potato cell and starch during RF heating.

Cu 2 SnS 3 (CTS), as a potential thermoelectric (TE) material, the electrical and thermal transport properties are heavily determined by its original phase structure and the following phase evolution upon heating. Unlike previous studies that induced CTS phase transition by doping, this study used mechanical alloying powder as the precursor and successfully prepared phase-pure cubic (c-) and monoclinic (m-) CTS samples, as well as two-phase mixed samples with different percentage composition of c-CTS and m-CTS, by simply adjusting the hot pressing temperature. Firstly, phase structures of hot-pressed specimens were determined and confirmed by XRD refinement, SEM, TEM, and Raman spectroscopy. Secondly, thermodynamic property was analysis by DSC analysis, and phase evolution was detailed by analyzing specimens quenched at various temperatures. Then, the electrical and thermal transport properties were measured up to 500 °C, and were correlated with phase evolution analyzed above. Benefiting from cationic disorder, a maximum zT of 0.42 at 500 °C was achieved in c-CTS samples hot-pressed at 575 °C. The phase evolution of CTS was comprehensively investigated by using high-quality samples. The results indicate that phase transition is the potential mechanism for the doping effect in most studies, providing some guidance for improving the performance of environmentally friendly TE sulfides.

Narrow bandgap semiconductor MgIn 2 S 4 has been readily grown onto In 2 O 3 nanofibers by an in situ growing method. The so-formed MgIn 2 S 4 -In 2 O 3 hybrid nanofibers are characterized by strong visible light absorption and intimate MgIn 2 S 4 /In 2 O 3 heterointerfaces. Under visible light illumination ( λ ≥ 400 nm), the hybrid nanofibers demonstrate an exceptionally high photocatalytic activity for Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) disinfection, outcompeting pristine MgIn 2 S 4 , naked In 2 O 3 nanofibers, and many other photocatalytic systems reported. Specifically, the hybrid nanofibers achieve a 7 log reduction in viable cells for merely 20 min illumination while pristine MgIn 2 S 4 and naked In 2 O 3 nanofibers alone are almost inactive. Further analysis indicates that the hybrid nanofibers essentially form a type-II semiconductor heterojunctions which enable spatial separation of photocarriers. Owing to the intimate heterointerfaces, photocarriers can be promptly separated and accumulated respectively in In 2 O 3 and MgIn 2 S 4 thereby allowing continuous generation of copious reactive species for disinfection. This work signifies the usefulness of heterointerfaces in promoting photocarrier separation and provides a useful strategy to upgrade photocatalytic performance from otherwise almost inactive semiconductors.

The present study fully reports the decomposition of polyacetylacetonatozirconium (PAZ) in air with thermogravimetry–differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The influence of water vapor on the decomposition of PAZ was characterized with the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Crystallization and phase transformation of PAZ were studied by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The experimental results show that water vapor promotes the decomposition of PAZ and crystallization of zirconia compared with air. Furthermore, the effect of different amount of stabilizer Y(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O on the pyrolysis and phase stabilization of PAZ shows that NO 3
− was beneficial to the oxidation of organic components and the formation of Y 2 O 3 could stabilize tetragonal zirconia and hinder grain growth.
