Preparation and the controlled release effect study of graphene oxide-modified poly(ε-caprolactone)

Functionalized graphene oxide-modified poly(ε-caprolactone) composites ((graphene oxide)GO/PCL) were successfully synthesized by Steglich esterification for drug applications of controlled release. Lomefloxacin (LMF) was selected as a model drug to investigate its controlled release properties. The controlled release effect of the LMF-contained pills of the GO/PCL and polylactic acid blend was evaluated. In contrast to the pure PCL, GO/PCL could effectively adjust the time of drug release and release the drug at a constant rate, achieving the controlled release requirements. Furthermore, different additive amounts of graphene oxide have different effects on adjusting the time of controlled release, while the best result obtained under the ratio is 4% GO/PCL as carrier of drug. Thus, high-quality drug carrier materials are obtained which are more suitable for clinical use. Exploring the optimum addition of graphene oxide is very significant for the development of GO/PCL carrier material.     

Photoelectrocatalytic Reduction of CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> to Chemicals via ZnO@Nickel Foam: Controlling C–C Coupling by Ligand or Morphology

The CO₂ reduction is a very attracting research field in the environmental, material and chemical sciences in light of the energy crisis and greenhouse effect. A new photoelectrocatalytic system composed of a photoanode BiVO₄ and a photocathode of nickel foam supported ZnO semiconductor was designed, assembled and applied to CO₂ reduction in water. The photocathodes with different morphology could be made from electrochemical deposition method and well characterized by SEM, UV–Vis, XRD, and XPS. The photoelectrocatalytic cell of ZnO/Ni-30|KHCO₃|BiVO₄ can produce ethanol and acetic acid in a rate of 12.5 µM h^?1 cm^?2 with 100% selectivity for C₂ product, attributing to the controlling of 3D-spaces of nanorod. The cell of A-ZnO/Ni-15|KHCO₃|BiVO₄ produces ethanol and acetic acid with 75% selectivity for C₂ product under 100 mW cm^?2 simulated sunlight irradiation, attributing to controlling of both amine ligand and morphology of ZnO, which reveal a new way to increase the selectivity of products.     

Preparation of proanthocyanidin–chitosan complex and its antioxidant and antibacterial properties

Chitosan (CS) is a natural polysaccharide with beneficial effects on human health. To further strengthen its biological properties, a CS-based complex was prepared by combining it with proanthocyanidin (PA) and named it as PA–CS in this study. The successful preparation of PA–CS was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The size of PA–CS particles was distributed between 10 and 100 µm with a mean value of 30.6 µm and low pH and high salt concentration could increase their swelling ratio. The loading capacity of PA in PA–CS particles was 82.2?±?1.7 mg/g, and an increased release of PA from the complex occurred at low pH and high salt concentration. After combination, PA–CS complex exhibited better antioxidant activity than CS, which is a result of the synergistic effects of PA and CS. The reducing power and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of PA–CS complex are mainly attributed to PA, whereas the superoxide radical scavenging activity of PA–CS complex largely depends on CS. Moreover, PA–CS complex showed similar diameters of inhibitory zone and identical minimal inhibitory concentrations compared with CS, suggesting that the antibacterial potential of PA–CS complex is similar to that of CS. In addition, after 20 days storage, PA–CS complex did not exhibit significant changes in DPPH radical scavenging activity and antibacterial activity, indicating the good stability of this complex.     

羟基(—OH)对煤自燃侧链活性基团氧化反应特性的影响

针对煤结构及其氧化反应机理不明等问题,以羟基(—OH)和煤自燃侧链活性基团—OCH,—CHOHCH 3和—OCH 3为研究对象,采用密度泛函理论(DFT)的B3LYP-311G(d,p)方法,构建出了羟基(—OH)处于侧链活性结构邻位的小分子结构模型。基于前线轨道理论和量子化学理论,采用Gaussian 16软件对小分子模型的静电势、前线轨道的能级和电荷分布及煤氧复合反应过程中的热力学参数进行了模拟计算,探究了侧链活性基团的低温氧化特性和羟基(—OH)对其的影响。计算结果显示,在侧链活性结构中,氢原子周边呈强正电势,为亲核反应活性位点,而氧原子附近呈强负电势,为亲电反应活性位点。当羟基(—OH)处于侧链活性基团邻位时,会削弱侧链活性基团的亲电反应能力,增加—CHO和—CHOHCH 3的亲核反应能力,而使—OCH 3的亲核反应能力消失;通过分析各活性基团最高占据轨道(HOMO:Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital)和最低未占轨道(LUMO:Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital)可知,侧链活性基团的稳定性与其前线轨道的成键能力并不一致,而活性基团与氧气发生复合反应的难易程度主要取决于该基团前线轨道中LUMO的成键能力,成键能力越强,复合反应越容易发生;由于羟基(—OH)改变了侧链活性基团前线轨道上的电子特性,故当其与侧链基团共存时,会使—CHO和—CHOHCH 3与氧气的复合反应更容易发生,而使—OCH 3与氧气的复合由自发的放热反应转变为非自发的吸热反应。该研究成果可为揭示煤自燃微观作用机理和研发煤自燃新型高效阻化材料提供参考。

Potential of performance improvement of concentrated solar power plants by optimizing the parabolic trough receiver

This paper proposes a comprehensive thermodynamic and economic model to predict and compare the performance of concentrated solar power plants with traditional and novel receivers with different configurations involving operating temperatures and locations. The simulation results reveal that power plants with novel receivers exhibit a superior thermodynamic and economic performance compared with traditional receivers. The annual electricity productions of power plants with novel receivers in Phoenix, Sevilla, and Tuotuohe are 8.5%, 10.5%, and 14.4% higher than those with traditional receivers at the outlet temperature of 550°C. The levelized cost of electricity of power plants with double-selective-coated receivers can be decreased by 6.9%, 8.5%, and 11.6%. In Phoenix, the optimal operating temperature of the power plants is improved from 500°C to 560°C by employing a novel receiver. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis of the receiver heat loss, solar absorption, and freeze protection temperature is also conducted to analyze the general rule of influence of the receiver performance on power plants performance. Solar absorption has a positive contribution to annual electricity productions, whereas heat loss and freeze protection temperature have a negative effect on electricity outputs. The results indicate that the novel receiver coupled with low melting temperature molten salt is the best configuration for improving the overall performance of the power plants.
