Luminescent properties of Ca2MgSi2O7 phosphor activated by Eu2+, Dy3+ and Nd3+

Long lasting alkaline earth silicates, Ca₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu,Dy,Nd was prepared under a reduction atmosphere through solid state reaction. The obtained phosphor was characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence spectrum (PLS). The crystal structure of Ca₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu,Dy,Nd phosphor was refined by Rietveld analysis. The obtained Ca₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu,Dy,Nd phosphor showed a yellow–green emission peaking at 518 nm, which is ascribed to the luminescent emission of the Eu²⁺ that occupied the octa-coordinated Ca²⁺ sites in the Ca₂MgSi₂O₇ host. The electron affinity (ea) value for Eu²⁺ in [EuO₈] was calculated to 1.9 eV. The decay profile and the emission spectrum indicated that when the value of Dy/Eu is increasing, there is a concentration quenching of Eu²⁺.     

The UV and VUV luminescence properties of the phosphor Mg2GeO4:Tb

A novel green phosphor Mg₂GeO₄:Tb³⁺ with pure phase was prepared by the solid state reaction. The luminescence properties were investigated in detail. The diffusion reflection spectra of the undoped and Tb³⁺ doped Mg₂GeO₄ phosphors were recorded, the result reveals that there is an absorption band superposition of the host material and Tb³⁺ ion. The study on the excitation and diffusion spectra shows that there is an effective energy transfer from the host material to Tb³⁺ ion. Under 277 and 172 nm excitation, the phosphor presents predominant green emission at 543 and 547 nm respectively. The excitation intensity at 172 nm is about 1.8 times of that at 272 nm. The promising luminescence properties make it a candidate for application in Plasma Display Panel.     

Plasmonic effect of silver nanoparticles on the upconversion emissions of Sm3+-doped sodium-borosilicate glass

The effect of the localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) on optical absorption and photoluminescence of Sm³⁺-doped sodium borosilicate glass containing reduced silver nanoparticles (NPs) is reported (Ag⁺ → Ag⁰). The interaction of ultraviolet light by metallic NPs and its effect on the optical properties of samarium in proposed glass were investigated by absorption and photoluminescence spectra analysis. The existence of the NPs was pursued by transmission electron microscopy technique, revealing the existence of Ag NPs with average size of ∼8–14 nm. The largest enhancement was achieved for emission at 561 nm. Such improvements were attributed and discussed by enhanced electric field around metallic NPs and energy transfer (ET) between Sm³⁺ ions and silver NPs.     

Shape-selective separation of geraniol and nerol via noncovalent interactionswith β-cyclodextrin

In this paper, selective separation of the isomeric compounds geraniol and nerol, based on the preferential affinity of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) for geraniol was investigated. To demonstrate the potential application of β-CD for separation of geraiol from nerol, the structure of the inclusion complexes was characterized with various physico-chemical techniques. The selective noncovalent binding property of β-CD was confirmed by quantum-chemical calculations. For the mixture, which contains 50 wt% of geraniol and nerol, respectively, 96% of geraniol in complex can be obtained, and the similar separation efficiency was found after use for three times.

Self-terminated electrodeposition of platinum on titanium nitride for methanol oxidation reaction in acidic electrolyte

The development of high-performance electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation is an urgent task to enhance the efficiency of direct methanol fuel cells. We report a simple and controllable method to fabricate Pt-decorated TiN electrocatalysts using self-terminated electrodeposition at room temperature and ambient pressure. Under optimized deposition parameters such as electrolyte pH, TiN substrate pretreatment, and pulsed deposition potential, quenching of the Pt electrodeposition facilitates obtaining an extremely low Pt mass loading (0.93 μg/cm²) on the TiN substrate. Repeated deposition potential pulses enable a gradual increase in Pt loading, with a precise control of the loaded Pt mass. Maximum intrinsic and mass activities for the methanol oxidation reaction are achieved for the catalyst with a Pt loading mass of 55.0 μg/cm², prepared by 20 deposition pulses. The maximum intrinsic activity achieved with the Pt-decorated TiN electrocatalyst is five times higher than that obtained with bulk Pt. The present results thus provide a facile method for the fabrication of cost-effective electrocatalysts.     

谷氨酰胺转移酶对大豆分离蛋白膜性能的影响

研究注模前酶作用时间对谷氨酰胺转移酶(TGase)改性大豆分离蛋白(SPI)膜性能的影响。在注模之前,将TGase(8U/g SPI)加入到成膜溶液中,分别在磁力搅拌下作用0、30、60、120min,然后注模成膜。利用质构仪检测蛋白膜的机械性能,结合哈克流变仪的动态黏弹实验及SDS-PAGE 实验进一步分析。注模前适度的酶作用(≤60min)在一定程度上有利于TGase 改性的SPI 膜机械强度的提高,特别是抗拉强度(TS)值;但是,时间不宜过长,因为注模前的酶作用也会诱导SPI 蛋白组分的聚沉反应,从而降低成膜溶液中可溶解蛋白的含量。结果表明,TGase改性SPI 膜时,一方面会诱导蛋白交联;另一方面,交联过多又会导致沉淀;在利用TGase 提高SPI 膜的机械性能时如何把握两者之间的关系,在交联的同时抑制酶促聚沉非常重要。
