Revealing the role of Ni2+ ions in inducing the synthesis of porous carbon balls: A novel substrate to enhance the Pt catalytic activity towards methanol-oxidation

Carbon-based materials have been often employed as electrocatalytic substrates because of their large surface area/highly porous structure. Similar to carbon substrates, the non-carbon related materials such as transition metals also play an important role in improving catalytic performance. However, the simultaneous synthesis and metallic functionalization of carbon substrates is a highly challenging issue. Herein, a hydrothermal method has been used for the preparation of Ni-functionalized porous carbon balls. The significant role of Ni²⁺ ions in the synthesis of porous carbon balls has been confirmed. The results of transmission electron microscopy indicate that, the as-prepared porous carbon balls were suitable for the dispersion of Pt nanoparticles with small particle size (less than 4 nm). In addition to providing the OH_ads species, the Ni can also modify the surface electronic structure of Pt. Electrochemical measurements results reveal that, under the strong interactions between Ni and Pt, the as-prepared porous carbon balls supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/Ni-CB) catalyst possesses excellent electrocatalytic activity, stability and CO anti-poisoning capability towards methanol electrooxidation reaction (MOR). This work opens a novel idea for the construction of the metal functionalization of carbon substrates and their subsequent applications in other electrocatalytic reactions.     

A comparative study between PVO-based framework and multi-predictor mechanism in reversible data hiding

Sorting-based reversible data hiding (RDH) methods like pixel-value-ordering (PVO) can predict pixel values accurately and achieve an extremely low distortion on the embedded image. However, the excellent performance of these methods was not well explained in previous works, and there are unexploited common points among them. In this paper, we propose a general multi-predictor (GMP) framework to summarize PVO-based RDH methods and explain their high prediction accuracy. Moreover, by utilizing the proposed GMP framework, a more efficient sorting-based RDH method is given as an example to show the generality and applicability of our framework. Comparing with other PVO-based methods, the proposed example method can achieve significant improvement in embedding performance. It is hopeful that more efficient sorting-based RDH algorithms can be designed according to our proposed framework by designing better predictors and their combination methods.     

不同大蒜精油成分及生物活性对比分析

为了解白皮大蒜和紫皮大蒜精油成分及生物活性差异,采用水蒸气蒸馏法提取白皮大蒜和紫皮大蒜精油,通过气相色谱质谱联用仪(GC-MS)分析测定两种大蒜精油的可挥发性成分;用对倍稀释法研究两种大蒜精油对几种常见病原菌的抑制活性;采用小叶碟法测定两种大蒜精油对斜纹夜蛾的拒食活性;并检测白皮、紫皮大蒜精油对ABTS、DPPH和OH自由基的清除作用。结果表明:白皮大蒜精油鉴定出26种成分,占精油的95.79%;紫皮大蒜精油鉴定出22种成分,占精油的94.26%,主要杀菌物质大蒜辣素和大蒜新素在紫皮大蒜(59.34%)中的含量比白皮大蒜(50.11%)多;两种大蒜精油对实验用菌有明显抑制作用,尤其紫皮大蒜精油对枯草芽孢杆菌、白色念珠菌、热带假丝酵母菌和板栗疫病的抑制效果比白皮大蒜好;白皮大蒜和紫皮大蒜精油对斜纹夜蛾24h平均拒食率分别为52.97%和100%;白皮大蒜精油对ABTS和DPPH自由基的清除率高于紫皮大蒜精油,对OH自由基的清除率基本相当。     

基于一种改进逐点比较插补法的激光打标机控制加工算法

在激光打标系统中,逐点比较插补法是一种普遍使用的算法。这种算法在控制激光运动轨迹和对图像轨迹的拟合过程中,起到极其重要的作用。由于逐点比较插补法具有运算直观,脉冲输出均匀,调节方便等特点,所以是一种较为适合打标机系统应用的插补算法。但是传统的逐点比较插补算法存在精度低和速度慢等问题。为了改善该算法的性能,对传统逐点比较插补算法进行了改进,并进行了计算和模拟仿真。结果表明改进比较插补算法在精度和速度上都有明显提高。     

One-step synthesis of CuCo2O4-Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 nanofibers as high performance composite cathodes of intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells

One-dimensional nanostructured CuCo₂O₄-Sm_0.2Ce_0.8O_1.9 (SDC) nanofibers are prepared by the electrospinning method and one step sintering as a cathode with low polarization resistance for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC). The CuCo₂O₄-SDC nanofibers cathodes form a porous network structure and have large triple-phase boundaries. Correspondingly, the electrochemical performance of the CuCo₂O₄-SDC nanofibers composite cathodes shows significantly improve, achieving the polarization resistance of 0.061 Ω cm² and the maximum power densities of 976 mW·cm⁻² at 750 °C. Thus, these results suggest that CuCo₂O₄-SDC nanofiber could be a highly active cathode material for IT-SOFCs.     

不同大小沙田柚品质差异及其分子机理探究

本文研究不同大小沙田柚果实之间品质的差异,并探讨品质差异产生的机制。将沙田柚依据果实大小进行分类,测量可溶性固形物含量、种子数目、果皮厚度和果形指数,同时对不同大小的沙田柚进行转录组测序。结果表明,大小适中的沙田柚,即950~1000 g的沙田柚可溶性固形物含量高,沙田柚果皮厚度和种子数目随着沙田柚重量的增加而增大,果形指数不受沙田柚果实大小的影响。转录组测序后,比对KEGG数据库,显著富集了20条通路,其中10条涉及到风味品质相关的物质代谢,2条与植物激素相关。沙田柚果实大小和可溶性固形物含量、果皮厚度、种子数目相关,和果形指数无关,植物激素信号转导和风味物质代谢相关基因的差异表达可能是产生品质差异的原因。
