Facile synthesis of carbon self-doped g-C3N4 for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Graphite carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) is an appealing metal-free photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution, but the potential has been limited by its poor visible-light absorption and unsatisfactory separation of photo-induced carriers. Herein, a facile one-pot strategy to fabricate carbon self-doped g-C₃N₄ composite through the calcination of dicyanamide and trace amounts of dimethylformamide is presented. The as-obtained carbon self-doped catalyst is investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), confirming the substitution of carbon atoms in original sites of bridging nitrogen. We demonstrate that the as-prepared materials display remarkably improved visible-light absorption and optimized electronic structure under the premise of principally maintaining the tri-s-triazine based crystal framework and surface properties. Furthermore, the carbon doped g-C₃N₄ composite simultaneously weakens the transportation barrier of charge carriers, suppresses charge recombination and raises the separated efficiency of photoinduced holes and electrons on account of the extension of pi conjugated system. As a result, carbon self-doped g-C₃N₄ exhibits 4.3 times greater photocurrent density and 5.2 times higher hydrogen evolution rate compared with its bulk counterpart under visible light irradiation.     

Synthesis of Cellulose-Based Macromolecular Coupling Agent and its Utilization in Poly (butylene succinate)/Wood Flour Composites

A long fatty side chain was introduced into the macromolecule of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) via esterification reaction. The hydrophobicity of hydroxyethyl cellulose lauric acid ester (HECLAE) was enhanced in comparison with HEC. The obtained HECLAE was used as macromolecular coupling agent in poly (butylene succinate)/wood flour composites and exhibited a positive influence on improving the mechanical performance of composites. Besides, HECLAE plays a role as a hydrophobic agent in composites. A significant increase in storage modulus (E’) was observed upon the incorporation of treated wood flour. SEM images showed that the dispersion of treated wood flour in PBS matrix was improved.

用于心电信号捕捉的高性能棉/银复合织物电极

导电织物在可穿戴电子领域前景广阔,但在使用过程的稳定性仍需提高。通过缩合反应,在棉织物(CF)上接枝了γ-巯丙基三甲氧基硅烷(MPTS),再利用化学镀的方式沉积银颗粒,制备出棉/银复合织物电极(Ag/M-CF)。Ag/M-CF的表面方阻低至0.04 Ω/sq,而且在多个方面(洗涤、拉伸、弯曲和氧化)都有良好的稳定性。洗涤200次后,表面方阻仅为1.88 Ω/sq,导电性能良好,满足实际需要；拉伸5%后,表面方阻仅为1.00 Ω/sq；经过3000次弯曲后,Ag/M-CF的表面方阻增加至1.38 Ω/sq；在恒温恒湿环境中放置9周后,表面方阻仅为0.50 Ω/sq。将洗涤前后的Ag/M-CF植入智能服装中,都能成功捕捉到人体在运动状态下的心电信号,而且测得的心率几乎相同。除此之外,Ag/M-CF还具有良好的机械性能和抗菌性。关键词：织物电极；洗涤稳定性；弯曲性能；耐氧化性能；心电图中图分类号：TS195.5 文献标识码： A 文章编号：1003-5214 (2020) 01-0000-00

Quercetagetin loaded in soy protein isolate–κ-carrageenan complex: Fabrication mechanism and protective effect

In the present study, the potential of soy protein isolate (SPI)–κ-carrageenan (κ-CG) complex as a protective carrier for quercetagetin was investigated at different pH values (pH 2.3 and 6.5). The particle size of the ternary aggregates was slightly increased at pH 2.3, yet dramatically decreased at pH 6.5 with increasing quercetagetin concentration. Moreover, the negative ζ-potential of the ternary aggregates was increased significantly (p < 0.05) at pH 6.5. The addition of quercetagetin to the SPI–κ-CG complex could highly quench the intrinsic fluorescence of SPI. Circular dichroism spectra further suggested that the bound quercetagetin could induce the rise of β-sheet and β-turn contents at the cost of α-helix and unordered coil fractions of SPI. In addition, quercetagetin could increase the viscoelasticity of the ternary aggregates at both pH. Furthermore, the SPI–κ-CG complex was found to be superior to single SPI or κ-CG in terms of improving light stability and radical scavenging ability of quercetagetin.     

Preparation of Iron Oxide Particle-Decorated Lignin-Based Carbon Nanofibers as Electrode Material for Pseudocapacitor

Iron oxide particle-decorated lignin-based carbon nanofibers (IO-LCNFs) were fabricated from organic mixtures containing acetic acid lignin (AAL) together with ferric acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)₃) via electrospinning followed by stabilization in air and carbonization in nitrogen. After the addition of Fe(acac)₃, IO-LCNFs showed different morphologies: Non-fused IO-LCNFs were obtained with diameters of 400–500 nm; iron oxide nanoparticles with diameters of 30–60 nm were exposed outside and well-distributed when sufficient amounts of Fe(acac)₃ were added. These carbon nanofibers were then used as electrode material for pseudocapacitor. It was found that the iron oxide particles enhanced the resulting electrochemical properties via reversible redox reactions. IO-LCNFs made from the composite nanofibers with mass ratio of AAL/Fe(acac)₃ of 80/20 [i.e., IO-LCNFs (80/20)] exhibited the highest specific capacitance, 72.1 F g^?1, at current density of 500 mA g^?1.     

Effects of pepsin hydrolysis on the soy β‐conglycinin aggregates formed by heat treatment at different pH

The effects of pepsin hydrolysis on the β‐conglycinin aggregates formed by heat treatment at different pH were investigated. Results showed that fibrils were still observed, whereas the random aggregates were easily to be digested in the simulated gastric fluid. Electrophoresis and molecular weight analysis indicated that large aggregates still existed after pepsin treatment for fibrils. Hydrolysis resulted in changes in the apparent viscosity (ηapp) of 6% fibril solutions. The ηapp at the shear rate range (0–30 s^?1) increased in the order of fibrils < fibrils with pepsin for 60 min < fibrils with pepsin for 30 min. Smaller peptide/fibril fragments were generated, and additional aggregates were reformed during the hydrolysis process, as evidenced by thioflavin T and atomic force microscopy images. The native β‐conglycinin hydrolysates comprised a mixture of polypeptides enriched in about 47 kDa. These findings would provide valuable information about effects of enzymatic hydrolysis on plant oligometric globulin aggregates.
