SnSe+Ag_2Se composite engineering with ball milling for enhanced thermoelectric performance

Earth-abundant IV-VI semiconductor SnSe is regarded as a promising thermoelectric material due to its intrinsic low thermal conductivity. In this report, the highly textured SnSe/Ag2 Se composites were first designed by solid solution method followed by spark plasma sintering(SPS) and their thermoelectric properties in two directions were investigated, and then, the performance of composites was further optimized with an additional ball milling. The coexistence of SnSe and Ag2 Se phases is clearly confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) in transmission electron microscopy(TEM). After ball milling, the size of SnSe grains as well as the incorporated Ag2 Se particles reduces effectively, which synergistically optimizes the electrical and thermal transport properties at high temperature range. As a result, a maximum ZT of ～0.74 at 773 K for SnSe+1.0%Ag_2 Se in the direction vertical to the pressing direction is achieved. Composite engineering with additional ball milling is thus proved to be an efficient way to improve the thermoelectric properties of SnSe, and this strategy could be applicable to other thermoelectric systems.     

Hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles as nanocarriers employed in cancer therapy: A review

Hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) have become an attractive drug carrier because of their unique characteristics including stable physicochemical properties, large specific surface area and facile functionalization, especially made into intelligent drug delivery systems (DDSs) for cancer therapy. HMSNs are employed to transport traditional anti-tumor drugs, which can solve the problems of drugs with instability, poor solubility and lack of recognition, etc., while significantly improving the anti-tumor effect. And an unexpected good result will be obtained by combining functional molecules and metal species with HMSNs for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Actually, HMSNs-based DDSs have developed relatively mature in recent years. This review briefly describes how to successfully prepare an ordinary HMSNs-based DDS, as well as its degradation, different stimuli-responses, targets and combination therapy. These versatile intelligent nanoparticles show great potential in clinical aspects.

基于DFT方法研究钩藤碱和异钩藤碱的降压活性

运用密度泛函理论(DFT)B3LYP方法,以6-311++G~(**)为基组对钩藤碱和异钩藤碱分子进行量子化学计算,从分子的几何构型、NBO电荷、前线分子轨道及轨道能级等方面分析钩藤碱和异钩藤碱的降压活性与分子结构之间的关系。前线分子轨道对其降压活性影响显著,ΔE_((LUMO-HOMO))越小,化合物的降压活性越强。由ΔE_((LUMO-HOMO))可以预测,异钩藤碱的降压活性优于钩藤碱,理论计算与实验结果一致。

核电气动橡胶隔膜材料热老化机械性能研究

核电气动阀门用三元乙丙橡胶(EPDM)和丁腈橡胶(NBR)隔膜材料分别在100℃和150℃下进行不同时间的热老化试验,采用万能试验机、邵氏硬度计、拉伸疲劳试验机、扫描电子显微镜、傅里叶红外光谱仪对材料拉伸性能、硬度、疲劳性能、微观形貌等进行测试与表征,结果表明:EPDM材料随着老化时间的增加断裂伸长率和断裂强度呈下降趋势,硬度呈缓慢上升趋势。NBR材料在100℃老化下断裂伸长率缓慢下降,断裂强度缓慢增加,硬度缓慢增加;在150℃老化下断裂伸长率和断裂强度急剧下降,硬度呈直线上升趋势。在相同老化时间下,老化温度越高,EPDM和NBR材料的断裂伸长率和断裂强度越小,硬度越大。EPDM和NBR材料的耐疲劳性能随着老化时间和老化温度的增加,均有一定程度的下降,其中NBR材料耐疲劳性能下降较大;红外光谱分析结果表明,随着老化时间的增加,EPDM材料羟基和羰基吸收峰的强度增大,NBR材料吸收峰强度逐渐减小。SEM微观形貌分析显示,EPDM和NBR样品在老化前表面比较平整,随着老化时间增加,样品表面出现较多的堆积物质,老化温度越高,样品表面越粗糙。
