Carbon-containing polymer-derived SiCN ceramics (PDCs-SiCN-C) were successfully fabricated with multi-layer graphene (MLG) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as additives at 1100?°C. The effects of MLG and MWCNTs on the microwave absorption properties of PDCs-SiCN-C ceramics were analyzed. The imaginary permittivity and loss tangent of SiCN-MLG and SiCN-MWCNTs were about 3.4, 0.67 at 11.2?GHz and 3.1, 0.57 at 10.6?GHz, respectively. The minimum reflection loss of SiCN-MLG and SiCN-MWCNTs at 3?mm was ??54?dB and ??48?dB with the effective absorption bandwidth (RL ≤ ?10?dB, >90% absorption) about 1.5?GHz and 0.9?GHz in X-band. 相似文献
Li4SiO4 has been widely studied as attractive tritium breeding materials due to its innate merits. Considering the potential advantages of nanostructure in tritium breeding materials, a distinctive process was developed to obtain nanostructured Li4SiO4 pebbles. In brief, ultrafine precursor powders were synthesized by solvothermal method without using surfactants, and then indirect wet method was adopted to generate the green spheres with homogeneous microstructure. After that, the suitable sintering conditions were defined by studying the effects of sintering parameters on the grain size evolution, and nanostructured Ti-doped Li4SiO4 pebbles were first obtained by two-step sintering method. This study will be expected to provide references for fabricating other Li-based tritium breeding materials. 相似文献
Stunting adversely affects physical and mental outcomes of children. It has not been examined whether household air pollution from solid fuel combustion is a risk factor for stunting in children. In a total of 41,439 children aged 6-17 across China, height was measured using a unified protocol. Multivariable linear regression models and logistic regression models were used to assess the associations of solid fuel use for cooking/heating with stunting in children. Adjusted for covariates, cooking/heating with solid fuel was significantly associated with a lower z-score for height for age and sex (β = −0.21 [−0.32 to −0.09] and −0.17 [−0.31 to −0.03], respectively) and an increased risk of stunting with an estimated ORs of 1.34 [1.07~1.68] and 1.37 [1.02~1.83], respectively. The risk of stunting associated with solid fuel use was statistically significant in high-age children. And the effect was greater on girls than on boys, though the difference was not statistically significant. Our study suggested that Chinese children living in households using solid fuel had a significantly higher risk of stunting than those living in households using cleaner fuel. 相似文献
Over the past decade, numerous studies have attempted to enhance the effectiveness of radiotherapy (external beam radiotherapy and internal radioisotope therapy) for cancer treatment. However, the low radiation absorption coefficient and radiation resistance of tumors remain major critical challenges for radiotherapy in the clinic. With the development of nanomedicine, nanomaterials in combination with radiotherapy offer the possibility to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy in tumors. Nanomaterials act not only as radiosensitizers to enhance radiation energy, but also as nanocarriers to deliver therapeutic units in combating radiation resistance. In this review, we discuss opportunities for a synergistic cancer therapy by combining radiotherapy based on nanomaterials designed for chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, gas therapy, genetic therapy, and immunotherapy. We highlight how nanomaterials can be utilized to amplify antitumor radiation responses and describe cooperative enhancement interactions among these synergistic therapies. Moreover, the potential challenges and future prospects of radio-based nanomedicine to maximize their synergistic efficiency for cancer treatment are identified.
Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) are considered to be an important p-type semiconductors in the photocatalysis applications. In particular, tetragonal BiOBr is considered as a stable photocatalyst due to its resilient absorption in the visible region with an band gap energy of 2.8 eV. In the meantime, lanthanide ions (with 3+ oxidation state) implies as conversion catalyst gained huge impact and remain a serious topic in materials chemistry. Here we synthesized upconversion photocatalyst mainly consists of BiOBr with the Er 3+ and Tb 3+ ions along with low band gap g-C3N5 for the improved photocatalytic performances. The synthesized Er3+/Tb3+@BiOBr-g-C3N5 heterojunction was systematically characterized by XRD, and FT-IR for the confirmation of the composite and their morphology were analysed with FESEM and HR-TEM analysis which revealed that the sheets of g-C3N5 were decorated by Er3+/Tb3+ loaded BiOBr microspheres. The XPS analysis confirmed the suitable oxidation state of all the individual elements existing in the composite. As the UV-DRS analysis showed that the band gap of the Er3+/Tb3+ BiOBr-gC3N5 heterojunction was narrowed to 2.64 eV. To evaluate the photocatalytic efficiency of the synthesized g-C3N5, Er3+/Tb3+@BiOBr and Er3+/Tb3+@BiOBr-gC3N5 heterojunction under the simulated visible light irradiation source towards the aqueous sulfamethoxazole degradation. The Er3+/Tb3+@BiOBr-gC3N5 heterojunction shows maximum degradation efficiency of 94.2% after 60 min of visible light irradiation whereas the pure g-C3N5 provided about 43.8% and Er3+/Tb3+@BiOBr implies 55.2% degradation efficiency. The plausible degradation mechanism of pollutant removal was proposed. 相似文献
