Sensitive Detection of Carcinoembryonic Antigen Using Stability‐Limited Few‐Layer Black Phosphorus as an Electron Donor and a Reservoir

The instability of few‐layer black phosphorus (FL‐BP) hampers its further applications. Here, it can be demonstrated that the instability of FL‐BP can also be the advantage for application in biosensor. First, gold nanoparticle/FL‐BP (BP‐Au) hybrid is facilely synthesized by mixing Au precursor with FL‐BP. BP‐Au shows outstanding catalytic activity (K = 1120 s^?1 g^?1) and low activation energy (17.53 kJ mol^?1) for reducing 4‐nitrophenol, which is attributed to the electron‐reservoir and electron‐donor properties of FL‐BP, and synergistic interaction of Au nanoparticles and FL‐BP. Oxidation of FL‐BP after catalytic reaction is further confirmed by transmission electron microscope, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and zeta potentials. Second, the catalytic activity of BP‐Au can be reversibly switched from “inactive” to “active” upon treatment with antibody and antigen in solution, thus providing a versatile platform for label‐free colorimetric detection of biomarkers. The sensor shows a wide detection range (1 pg mL^?1 to –10 µg mL^?1), high sensitivity (0.20 pg mL^?1), and selectivity for detecting carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Finally, the biosensor has been used to detect CEA in colon and breast cancer clinical samples with satisfactory results. Therefore, the instability of BP can also be the advantage for application in detecting cancer biomarker in clinic.     

Sandwiched Thin‐Film Anode of Chemically Bonded Black Phosphorus/Graphene Hybrid for Lithium‐Ion Battery

A facile vacuum filtration method is applied for the first time to construct sandwich‐structure anode. Two layers of graphene stacks sandwich a composite of black phosphorus (BP), which not only protect BP from quickly degenerating but also serve as current collector instead of copper foil. The BP composite, reduced graphene oxide coated on BP via chemical bonding, is simply synthesized by solvothermal reaction at 140 °C. The sandwiched film anode used for lithium‐ion battery exhibits reversible capacities of 1401 mAh g^?1 during the 200th cycle at current density of 100 mA g^?1 indicating superior cycle performance. Besides, this facile vacuum filtration method may also be available for other anode material with well dispersion in N‐methyl pyrrolidone (NMP).     

Deriving phosphorus atomic chains from few-layer black phosphorus

Phosphorus atomic chains,the narrowest nanostructures of black phosphorus (BP),are highly relevant to the in-depth development of BP-based one-dimensional (1D) nano-electronics components.In this study,we report a top-down route for the preparation of phosphorus atomic chains via electron beam sculpturing inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM).The growth and dynamics (i.e.,rupture and edge migration) of 1D phosphorus chains are experimentally captured for the first time.Furthermore,the dynamic behavior and associated energetics of the as-formed phosphorus chains are further investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.It is hoped that these 1D BP structures will serve as a novel platform and inspire further exploration of the versatile properties of BP.     

低逾渗MWCNTs-CB/UHMWPE导电复合材料的制备及性能

采用溶液法及机械共混法分别制备了均匀结构的炭黑(CB)/超高分子量聚乙烯(UHMWPE)及隔离结构的多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)-CB/UHMWPE复合薄膜。扫描电镜分析显示,虽然大部分CB均匀分散于UHMWPE基体中,但依然存在明显的局部团聚,而隔离结构中的MWCNTs-CB分布于UHMWPE界面间,更易形成导电通道。导电测试结果表明,复合材料的导电逾渗值由均匀分布的4.91%(体积分数)下降到隔离结构的0.42%。MWCNTs的加入完善了CB间的导电网络,使复合材料的逾渗值进一步下降,当CB∶MWCNTs=15∶1时,复合薄膜的逾渗值由0.42%(体积分数)下降到0.24%,然而混合填料中MWCNTs含量的进一步增加几乎对逾渗值没有影响。力学性能研究表明,隔离型复合材料的拉伸强度和断裂伸长率随填充剂含量的增加呈现出先上升后下降的趋势。     

丁苯橡胶/炭黑湿法预混胶的塑炼特性

基于胶乳/炭黑湿法混合的丁苯橡胶/炭黑湿法预混胶(P(SBR/CB))是一种在低剪切力环境下制备得到的炭黑在丁苯橡胶基体中分散优良的橡胶/炭黑预混胶,与采用传统机械混炼得到的充炭黑母胶相比,未经塑炼加工的P(SBR/CB)中的橡胶-炭黑相互作用较弱,故其加工行为表现出诸多新的特点。本文在分析P(SBR/CB)结构的基础上,采用实验室开炼机和Brabender转矩流变仪研究了其塑炼特性,探讨了开炼机薄通次数和密炼机塑炼工艺参数(循环油温、转速、塑炼时间等)对其塑炼特性(表观黏度、门尼黏度、排胶温度和结合胶含量)的影响规律,发现P(SBR/CB)的塑炼过程主要包括2个同时进行的进程,即炭黑网络的破坏和橡胶-炭黑相互作用的增强,且可通过调节密炼机塑炼参数,调控P(SBR/CB)混炼胶的门尼黏度和结合胶含量。

Finding an Euclidean anti--centrum location of a set of points

An obnoxious facility is to be located inside a polygonal region of the plane, maximizing the sum of the k smallest weighted Euclidean distances to n given points, each protected by some polygonal forbidden region. For the unweighted case and k fixed an O(n²logn) time algorithm is presented. For the weighted case a thorough study of the relevant structure of the multiplicatively weighted order-k-Voronoi diagram leads to the design of an O(kn³+n³logn) time algorithm for finding an optimal solution to the anti-t-centrum problem for every t=1,…,k, simultaneously.
