Thermo-optical characterization of CdZnS nanoparticle colloids

Thermo-optical properties of cadmium zinc sulfide (CdZnS) nanoparticle colloids are investigated by interferometry technique. The nanoparticle colloids are synthesized by an improved co-precipitation method. Transmission electron microscopy, UV–vis spectrometry and X-ray diffraction analysis are used to characterize the CdZnS nanocrystals. The thermo-optic coefficient of the colloids has been determined using a Fizeau interferometer. For this purpose, the interference patterns are deformed by a photothermal phase shift which is locally induced in the sample by the focused pump laser beam. The change in the refractive index at this region imposes a shift on the phase of the fringe patterns. Fourier analysis performed on the interference patterns allows us to estimate the values of the thermo-optic coefficient and nonlinear refractive index of the sample. It is shown that the CdZnS nanoparticle colloids enhance the absorption of the laser light and induce high rise in the temperature of the sample, which leads to the nonlinear phase shift.     

H2S Reactive Absorption from Off‐Gas in a Spray Column: Insights from Experiments and Modeling

H₂S removal from an off‐gas stream was performed in a spray column by H₂S reactive absorption into a NaOH solution. The individual and interactive effects of three independent operating variables on the percentage of absorbed H₂S were investigated: the initial pH of the scrubbing solution, the initial scrubbing solution temperature, and the volumetric liquid‐to‐gas ratio. The optimum operating variables were determined by response surface methodology (RSM) attaining a percentage of absorbed H₂S of 98.7 ± 0.2 %. Additionally, the process performance was modeled by an artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the percentage of absorbed H₂S. The results showed that the experimental data agreed better with the ANN model than with the RSM results.     

Organic Bioelectronics: From Functional Materials to Next-Generation Devices and Power Sources

Conjugated polymers (CPs) possess a unique set of features setting them apart from other materials. These properties make them ideal when interfacing the biological world electronically. Their mixed electronic and ionic conductivity can be used to detect weak biological signals, deliver charged bioactive molecules, and mechanically or electrically stimulate tissues. CPs can be functionalized with various (bio)chemical moieties and blend with other functional materials, with the aim of modulating biological responses or endow specificity toward analytes of interest. They can absorb photons and generate electronic charges that are then used to stimulate cells or produce fuels. These polymers also have catalytic properties allowing them to harvest ambient energy and, along with their high capacitances, are promising materials for next-generation power sources integrated with bioelectronic devices. In this perspective, an overview of the key properties of CPs and examination of operational mechanism of electronic devices that leverage these properties for specific applications in bioelectronics is provided. In addition to discussing the chemical structure–functionality relationships of CPs applied at the biological interface, the development of new chemistries and form factors that would bring forth next-generation sensors, actuators, and their power sources, and, hence, advances in the field of organic bioelectronics is described.     

负载型Pt-Fe/SiO_2催化剂催化环己烷一步氧化制己二酸

己二酸是合成尼龙-66和尼龙-46纤维的重要原料,并进一步用于生产许多重要的化工产品。工业上的己二酸多采用以硝酸为氧化剂的两步法合成,该工艺不仅工艺复杂,而且对设备有腐蚀作用,还会释放大量的温室气体N_2O。本文以负载型Pt/SiO_2、Fe/SiO_2和Pt-Fe/SiO_2为催化剂,采用过氧化氢和氧气为氧源,研究了环己烷一步氧化制己二酸的绿色合成路线。对催化剂进行ICP、BET比表面积、XRD、TEM等表征,结果表明,Pt-Fe/SiO_2催化剂中不存在与Pt或Fe对应的衍射峰。在最佳反应条件下,用高压釜进行了催化剂性能评价,结果表明,Pt-Fe/SiO_2催化活性略优于Pt/SiO_2和Fe/SiO_2。在环己烷转化率为28%的情况下,己二酸选择性达到33%。
