The effect of the dosage of nano-SiO2 on the WPU-Si membrane and the coated RDX(cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine) particles have been studied in terms of their surface properties, mechanical properties, and thermal stability. The results showed that with the increase of Si content, the stability of the emulsion reduced gradually. The material with more Si content displayed an increased thermodynamic stability, an increased high temperature resistance, an increased tensile strength and a decreased elongation at break. With the increase of Si content, the surface tension of the material decreased, the bibulous rate reduced, and the contact angle increased gradually, so that the surface tension of the polyurethane and RDX are close to each other which could improve the performance of coating.展开更多

The structure, thermal stability, humidity resistance, and morphological characteristics of the modified epoxy resin undercoat were studied by electrical tests, infrared spectra (IR) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that more compact and steady inter-crosslinked network structures are formed in the modified epoxy resin undercoat added with nano-SiO2, which greatly improves the performance of modified epoxy resin undercoat. The undercoat with nano-SiO2 of about 2. 71%, kept for six months at room temperature without flocculating and aggregating, is of good stability, and the surface of painted resistor is uniform, tight and without air holes on it. The varying ratio of resistance with such undercoat painted is less than one in a thousand after high temperature and humidity resistance tests.展开更多

Large surface area, high oxygen storage capacity and good thermal stability of cerium zirconium mixed oxides are the key properties for the automotive catalysts so as to meet the strict emission regulations. In this work, alumina modified CeZrLaNd mixed oxides were prepared by a co-precipitation method. The effects of moisture in precursor and inert N2 atmosphere during calcinations on the structure and properties were investigated by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction(H_2-TPR), oxygen storage capacity(OSC), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The results show that the moisture in precursor during calcinations increases the crystal grain size of the cerium zirconium mixed oxides, improving the thermal stability. And the aged surface area of sample after being calcined at1000 ℃ for 4 h reaches 68.8 m^2/g(5.7% increase compared with the common sample). The inert N2 atmosphere endows a great pore-enlarging effect, which leads to high fresh surface area of 148.9 m2/g(13.5% increase compared with the common sample) and big pore volume of 0.5705 mL/g. The redox and oxygen storage capacity are also improved by inert N2 atmosphere with high OSC value of 241.06μmolO_2/g(41.3% increase compared with the common calcination), due to the abundant formation of the crystal defects and oxygen vacancies.展开更多

The physicochemical properties were studied by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, TG and electrochemical methods. The results of FT-IR indicated that the nano-La2O3 was successfully modified with vinyltrimethoxylsilane. The XRD analysis showed that the incorporation of modified nano-La2O3 into the polymer electrolyte membranes could effectively reduce the crystallinity of PVDF-HFP, and the characterizations also suggested that thermal stability and electrochemical stability window could reach to 382°C and 5.1V, respectively; the reciprocal temperature dependence of ionic conductivity followed Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher (VTF) relation, ionic conductivity at room temperature was up to 3.5×10-3S/cm and lithium ions transference number was up to 0.42; the interfacial resistance increased at initial value about353Ω/cm2 and reached a steady value about 559Ω/cm2 after 5d storage at 30°C. The fabricated Li/As-prepared electrolytes/LiCoO2 coin cell showed excellent rate and cycle performances.展开更多

摘要Oxygen vacancy engineering in heterogeneous catalysts has attracted considerable interest for peroxymonosulfate(PMS)activation.In this study,nano-Co3O4-encapsulated montmorillonite catalysts with tunable oxygen vacancy(OV)concentrations(denoted as Co3O4−Mt-xOV,x=2,4,6)were synthesized for enhanced PMS activation.These OV defects not only modulate the electronic structure of Co3O4but also strengthen PMS and contaminant adsorption.The optimized Co3O4−Mt-xOV/PMS system exhibited exceptional ofloxacin(OFL)degradation efficiency,achieving 2.74–3.43-fold enhancement over OV-free Co3O4−Mt.Density functional theory calculations and experimental studies revealed that the performance improvement stemmed from OV formation,which synergistically enhanced redox pair cycling,strengthened PMS adsorption,and promoted active species generation during electron transfer.Further studies demonstrated that OV sites selectively drive PMS decomposition to generate high-valent cobalt-oxo species(Co(Ⅳ)=O)and singlet oxygen(1O2)as the dominant reactive species for OFL oxidation.The in-depth investigation into the catalytic mechanism revealed that the Co(Ⅳ)=O species facilitated O2•−generation in surpassing the reaction energy barrier,which subsequently converted to1O2.This non-radical pathway endowed the system with robust anti-interference capability against complex water matrices.The critical role of OV in PMS activation was mechanistically confirmed through experimental and theoretical analyses.Furthermore,Co3O4−Mt-4OV demonstrated outstanding chemical stability and recyclability,highlighting its practical potential.This work provides fundamental insights into vacancy defect engineering for advanced PMS activation and offers strategic guidance for designing high-performance catalysts.

摘要OBJECTIVE:To investigate the hypoglycemic mechanism of modified Gegen Qinlian decoction(加味葛根芩连汤,MGQD)by examining its regulation of cholesterol transporter expression and DNA methylation,specifically the low-density lipoprotein receptor(LDLR)and scavenger receptor class B type 1(SR-B1),in epididymal white adipose tissue(e WAT)and inguinal white adipose tissue(i WAT)of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).METHODS:The control group(CON)consisted of ten Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats fed a standard chow diet,while 80 SD rats were fed a high-fat diet and administered streptozotocin intraperitoneally to induce diabetes.The diabetic rats were randomly assigned to four groups:T2DM,metformin(MET,200 mg/kg),low-dose MGQD(MGQDL,5 g/kg),and high-dose MGQD(MGQDH,10 g/kg),and received treatment via gavage for 14 weeks.Western blot(WB),quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(q PCR),and bisulfite sequencing PCR(BSP)were used to analyze protein levels,m RNA expression,and DNA methylation of Ldlr(gene encoding LDLR)and Srb1(gene encoding SR-B1).RESULTS:MGQD and metformin treatment significantly reduced blood glucose levels,restored LDLR and SR-B1 protein levels in e WAT,and effectively regulated the m RNA expression and non-cytosine-p-guanine(nonCp G)methylation of Srb1 in e WAT.A significant negative correlation was observed between the methylation of Srb1 in e WAT and its m RNA expression.However,MGQD and metformin had no significant effect on the protein levels,m RNA expression,or DNA methylation of Ldlr and Srb1 in i WAT.CONCLUSIONS:MGQD did not significantly affect LDLR and SR-B1 expression or gene methylation in i WAT.However,its hypoglycemic effect may be linked to cholesterol regulation in e WAT.Potential mechanisms include increased LDLR protein levels,which may enhance cholesterol uptake,and increased Srb1 methylation,which may suppress its expression and consequently reduce cholesterol efflux.
摘要Emphysematous pyelonephritis(EPN)is a severe,a lethal necrotizing upper urinary tract infection,characterized by gas production within the renal pa-renchyma,collecting system,or perinephric tissue.EPN is emerging as a sig-nificant concern,necessitating early diagnosis,severity assessment,and timely intervention to improve outcomes.This study proposes a modified National Early Warning Score 2(mNEWS 2)to enhance risk stratification and predictive accuracy in EPN management.The mNEWS 2 refines the original NEWS 2 system,which aggregates 6 physiological indicators(body temperature,systolic blood pressure,pulse rate,oxygen saturation,breathing rate,and degree of consciousness),by incorporating weighted risk stratification indices and specific cutoff values derived from clinical observations,statistical modeling,and predictive per-formance analysis.A pilot study identified optimal thresholds,with a score of 15 maximizing predictive performance for mortality risk and intervention needs,validated through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.So,the mNEWS 2 score represents a significant advancement in EPN management,offering improved risk stratification and treatment outcomes.

摘要A series of nano silica/silicone modified waterborne polyurethane(WPU) have been synthesized from polytetramethylene glycol and isophorone diisocyanate, dihydroxymethyl propionic acid and triethylamine, ethylenediamine, trimethylolpropane, nano-SiO2 and the silane coupling agent KH550. The effect of the dosage of nano-SiO2 on the WPU-Si membrane and the coated RDX(cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine) particles have been studied in terms of their surface properties, mechanical properties, and thermal stability. The results showed that with the increase of Si content, the stability of the emulsion reduced gradually. The material with more Si content displayed an increased thermodynamic stability, an increased high temperature resistance, an increased tensile strength and a decreased elongation at break. With the increase of Si content, the surface tension of the material decreased, the bibulous rate reduced, and the contact angle increased gradually, so that the surface tension of the polyurethane and RDX are close to each other which could improve the performance of coating.

摘要We put forward a large-area and cost-effective method to fabricate superhydrophobic coating by introducing in-situ functionalized nano-SiO2 into side-amino modified hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (SA-HTPDMS) curing system. With the characterization using water contact angle (WCA) tester, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and simultaneous thermal analysis, the as-prepared coating displayed a tremendous WCA of 154.8±1°, sliding angle (SA) about 3.5° and stable self-cleaning property range from -10 to 80 ℃. It was also found that the synergistic effect of surface micro-nano hierarchical structure and chemical hydrophobicity, stability from matrix had made contributions to the superhydrophobicity and excellent heat resistance up to 300 ℃.
摘要A kind of undercoat for resistor with high temperature and humidity resistance was obtained by modifying epoxy resin with proper nano-SiO2 added at 80℃. The structure, thermal stability, humidity resistance, and morphological characteristics of the modified epoxy resin undercoat were studied by electrical tests, infrared spectra (IR) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that more compact and steady inter-crosslinked network structures are formed in the modified epoxy resin undercoat added with nano-SiO2, which greatly improves the performance of modified epoxy resin undercoat. The undercoat with nano-SiO2 of about 2. 71%, kept for six months at room temperature without flocculating and aggregating, is of good stability, and the surface of painted resistor is uniform, tight and without air holes on it. The varying ratio of resistance with such undercoat painted is less than one in a thousand after high temperature and humidity resistance tests.

摘要A new method of surface chemical modification of nano-SiO2 is proposed in this paper. In the presence of catalyst, the active hydroxyl groups on the surface of nano-SiO2 reacted with AB2-type monomer (N, N-dihydroxyethyl-3-amino methyl propionate) by one-step polycondensation. And the product's Fourer transform infrared (FTIR) graphs and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) images proved that hyperbranched poly (amine-ester) was grafted on nano-SiO2 surface successfully. Results show that the modified nano-SiO2 exhibits excellent dispersion and stability in some solvents such as alcohol and chloroform.

摘要Nano-Al2O3 particles modified Ag Cu Ni filler was adopted to braze the SiO2 ceramic and TC4.The effects of filler size as well as the brazing temperature on the interfacial microstructure and mechanical property of the joints were investigated.Nanoscale filler reduced the phases dimension and promoted the homogeneous distribution of microstructure,obtaining a higher joint strength when compared to microscale filler.The increase of brazing temperature made the accelerating dissolution and diffusion of Ti,which promoted the increase of thickness of Ti4O7+TiSi2 layer adjacent to SiO2 ceramic and diffusion layer zone nearby TC4 alloy.The hypoeutectic structure was produced in the brazing seam due to the high Ti content.The maximum shear strength of^40 MPa was obtained at 950°C for 10 min.

摘要The ubiquitous arsenic in groundwater poses a great risk to human health due to its environmental toxicity and carcinogenicity.In the present work,a new adsorbent,δ-MnO2 modified activated carbon,was prepared,and its performance for the uptake of arsenate and arsenite species from aqueous solutions was investigated by batch experiments.Various techniques,including FESEM-EDX,p-XRD,XPS and BET surface area analysis,were employed to characterize the properties of the adsorbent and the arsenic adsorption mechanisms.The results showed thatδ-MnO2 covered on the surface and padded in the pores of the activated carbon.Adsorption kinetic studies revealed that approximately 90.1%and 76.8%of As(Ⅲ)and As(V),respectively,were removed by the adsorbent in the first 9 hr,and adsorption achieved equilibrium within 48 hr.The maximum adsorption capacities of As(V)and As(Ⅲ)at pH 4.0 calculated from Langmuir adsorption isotherms were 13.30 and 12.56 mg/g,respectively.The effect of pH on As(Ⅴ)and As(Ⅲ)removal was similar,and the removal efficiency significantly reduced with the increase of solution pH.Arsenite oxidation and adsorption kinetics showed that the As(Ⅴ)concentration in solution due to As(Ⅲ)oxidation and reductive dissolution of MnO2 increased rapidly during the first 12 min,and then gradually decreased.Based on the XPS analysis,nearly 93.3%of As(Ⅲ)had been oxidized to As(V)on the adsorbent surface and around 38.9%of Mn(Ⅳ)had been reduced to Mn(Ⅱ)after As(Ⅲ)adsorption.This approach provides a possible method for the purification of arsenic-contaminated groundwater.

摘要High-temperature pyrolysis technology can effectively solve the problem of municipal solid waste pollution.However,the pyrolysis gas contains a large amount of CO2,which would adversely affect the subsequent utilization.To address this problem,a novel method of co-precipitation modification with Ca,Mg and Zr metals was proposed to improve the CO2capture performance.X-ray diffraction(XRD)patterns and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis showed that the two inert supports MgO and CaZrO3were uniformly distributed in the modified calcium-based sorbents.In addition,the XRD results indicated that CaZrO3was produced by the reaction of ZrO2and CaO at high temperatures.The effects of doping ratios,adsorption temperature,calcination temperature,CO2concentration and calcination atmosphere on the adsorption capacity and cycle stability of the modified calcium-based sorbent were studied.The modified calcium-based sorbent achieved the best CO2capture performance when the doping ratio was 10:1:1 with carbonation at 700℃ under 20%CO2/80%N2atmosphere and calcination at 900℃ under100%N2atmosphere.After ten cycles,the average carbonation conversion rate of Ca-10 sorbent was 72%.Finally,the modified calcium-based sorbents successfully reduced the CO2concentration of the pyrolysis gas from 37%to 5%.

摘要CeO_2-ZrO_2 mixed oxides are widely used in the three-way catalysts due to their unique reversible oxygen storage and release capacity. Large surface area, high oxygen storage capacity and good thermal stability of cerium zirconium mixed oxides are the key properties for the automotive catalysts so as to meet the strict emission regulations. In this work, alumina modified CeZrLaNd mixed oxides were prepared by a co-precipitation method. The effects of moisture in precursor and inert N2 atmosphere during calcinations on the structure and properties were investigated by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction(H_2-TPR), oxygen storage capacity(OSC), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The results show that the moisture in precursor during calcinations increases the crystal grain size of the cerium zirconium mixed oxides, improving the thermal stability. And the aged surface area of sample after being calcined at1000 ℃ for 4 h reaches 68.8 m^2/g(5.7% increase compared with the common sample). The inert N2 atmosphere endows a great pore-enlarging effect, which leads to high fresh surface area of 148.9 m2/g(13.5% increase compared with the common sample) and big pore volume of 0.5705 mL/g. The redox and oxygen storage capacity are also improved by inert N2 atmosphere with high OSC value of 241.06μmolO_2/g(41.3% increase compared with the common calcination), due to the abundant formation of the crystal defects and oxygen vacancies.

摘要Nano-La2O3 was modified with the vinyltrimethoxylsilane by hydrolysis and a novel poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) based composite polymer electrolyte doped with the modified nano-La2O3 was prepared by phase inversion method. The physicochemical properties were studied by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, TG and electrochemical methods. The results of FT-IR indicated that the nano-La2O3 was successfully modified with vinyltrimethoxylsilane. The XRD analysis showed that the incorporation of modified nano-La2O3 into the polymer electrolyte membranes could effectively reduce the crystallinity of PVDF-HFP, and the characterizations also suggested that thermal stability and electrochemical stability window could reach to 382°C and 5.1V, respectively; the reciprocal temperature dependence of ionic conductivity followed Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher (VTF) relation, ionic conductivity at room temperature was up to 3.5×10-3S/cm and lithium ions transference number was up to 0.42; the interfacial resistance increased at initial value about353Ω/cm2 and reached a steady value about 559Ω/cm2 after 5d storage at 30°C. The fabricated Li/As-prepared electrolytes/LiCoO2 coin cell showed excellent rate and cycle performances.
