Fluoride-mediately solvothermal synthesis and tunable photocatalytic selectivity of urchin-like ZrO2 hollow microspheres

Photocatalysts often show excellent performances on the basis of their surface state of exposed faces with high reactivity, but unfortunately surfaces of this type are usually concealed into the interior of crystals for their high surface energy. We report here a possibility that for fluorine-terminated surfaces of monoclinic ZrO₂, these higher-energy surfaces could be retained and exposed. Urchin-like ZrO₂ hollow microspheres (UZHS) composed of nanoribbons with exposed (010) facets are obtained through a fluoride mediately solvothermal method. We prove the stabilization effect of fluorine adsorption on (010) facets by density functional theory calculations. More interestingly, UZHS exhibit tunable photocatalytic selectivity in dye degradation. The fluorinated UZHS exhibit good performances both on decomposing Congo red (CR) and methylene blue, while the surface-modified UZHS by calcination only favor decomposition of CR.     

Effects of structural parameters on water film properties of transpiring wall reactor

Corrosion and salt deposition problems severely restrict the industrialization of supercritical water oxidation. Transpiring wall reactor can effectively weaken these two problems by a protective water film. In this work, methanol was selected as organic matter, and the influences of vital structural parameters on water film properties and organic matter removal were studied via numerical simulation. The results indicate that higher than 99% of methanol conversion could be obtained and hardly affected by transpiration water layer, transpiring wall porosity and inner diameter. Increasing layer and porosity reduced reactor center temperature, but inner diameter's influence was lower relatively. Water film temperature reduced but coverage rate raised as layer, porosity, and inner diameter increased. Notably, the whole reactor was in supercritical state and coverage rate was only approximately 85% in the case of one layer. Increasing reactor length affected slightly the volume of the upper supercritical zone but enlarged the subcritical zone.     

切向结构永磁同步电机磁钢径向并联组合研究

针对低速大转矩切向结构永磁同步电机中磁钢尺寸对性能的影响进行研究.提出一种"工"字形排布的磁钢径向并联组合优化方案.在保证电机磁钢轴向长度和体积不变前提下,分析磁钢磁化方向长度变化对电机性能的影响.分析表明:磁钢的磁化方向长度在一定范围内增加可降低磁钢漏磁、增大反电动势和降低转矩波动;但磁钢的磁化方向长度过度增加会大大降低电机磁通面积,使得电机反电动势不增反降.在此基础上,提出一种降低磁钢漏磁、增大反电动势和降低转矩波动的三块磁钢径向并联组合的"工"字形排布方案:近气隙侧和近隔磁槽侧磁钢槽内分别插入磁化方向长度短、径向宽度窄的磁钢以降低近气隙侧和近隔磁套侧磁钢漏磁;近气隙侧磁钢和近隔磁槽侧磁钢之间采用磁化方向长度较短的磁钢以保证磁钢磁通面积降低得不多.通过仿真实验验证所提方案的可行性.     

Fabrication and characterizations of Cr3+-doped ZnGa2O4 transparent ceramics with persistent luminescence

0.5 at.% Cr:ZnGa₂O₄ precursor was synthesized by the co-precipitation method with nitrates as raw materials, using ammonium carbonate as the precipitant. Low-agglomerated Cr:ZnGa₂O₄ powders with an average particle size of 43 nm were obtained by calcining the precursor at 900℃ for 4 h. Using the powders as starting materials, 0.5 at.% Cr:ZnGa₂O₄ ceramics with an average grain size of about 515 nm were prepared by presintering at 1150℃ for 5 h in air and HIP post-treatment at 1100℃ for 3 h under 200 MPa Ar. The in-line transmittance of 0.5 at.% Cr:ZnGa₂O₄ ceramics with a thickness of 1.3 mm reaches 59.5% at the wavelength of 700 nm. The Cr:ZnGa₂O₄ ceramics can be effectively excited by visible light and produce persistent luminescence at 700 nm. For Cr:ZnGa₂O₄ transparent ceramics, the brightness of afterglow was larger than 0.32 mcd/m² after 30 min, which is far superior to that of Cr:ZnGa₂O₄ persistent luminescence powders.

A Dual Inhibitor of DYRK1A and GSK3β for β-Cell Proliferation: Aminopyrazine Derivative GNF4877

Loss of β-cell mass and function can lead to insufficient insulin levels and ultimately to hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus. The mainstream treatment approach involves regulation of insulin levels; however, approaches intended to increase β-cell mass are less developed. Promoting β-cell proliferation with low-molecular-weight inhibitors of dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) offers the potential to treat diabetes with oral therapies by restoring β-cell mass, insulin content and glycemic control. GNF4877, a potent dual inhibitor of DYRK1A and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) was previously reported to induce primary human β-cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Herein, we describe the lead optimization that lead to the identification of GNF4877 from an aminopyrazine hit identified in a phenotypic high-throughput screening campaign measuring β-cell proliferation.
