摘要:
Metallic oxide/carbon composite has been extensively studied and widely used for energy storage in supercapacitor and lithium ion battery. In this paper, we synthesized nanograins-grafted nanorods of MoO2/carbon composites through a facile chemical reaction process without any template. Well crystallized MoO2 with monoclinic structure was identified in the XRD pattern. MoO2 nanograins with the size of 30-50nm were grown on the carbon nanorods, which were a few microns in length. Coupling of the rods-like carbon with good conductivity and the well distributed redox-active MoO2 leads to improved electrochemical performance. The cyclic voltammogram measurement shows that the as-prepared nanocomposites exhibit a broad potential window of 1.3V, which is extremely desired for supercapacitor application. The symmetrical supercapacitor of the nanograins-grafted nanorods of MoO2/carbon composites can work even at a high electric potential of 1.2V in aqueous electrolyte which seems impossible for many other metallic oxide and carbon composites.
摘要:
The biological toxicity of uranyl ion (UO
2
2+
) lies in interacting with proteins and disrupting their native functions. The structural and functional consequences of UO
2
2+
interacting with cytochrome b
5 (cyt b
5), a small membrane heme protein, and its heme axial ligand His39Ser variant, cyt b
5 H39S, were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. In experiments, although cyt b
5 was only slightly affected, UO
2
2+
binding to cyt b
5 H39S with a K
D of 2.5 μM resulted in obvious alteration of the heme active site, and led to a decrease in peroxidase activity. Theoretically, molecular simulation proposed a uranyl ion binding site for cyt b
5 at surface residues of Glu37 and Glu43, revealing both coordination and hydrogen bonding interactions. The information gained in this study provides insights into the mechanism of uranyl toxicity toward membrane protein at an atomic level.
摘要:
A novel small molecule probe, aptamer beacon (AB), was introduced for adenosine (Ade) recognition and quantitative analysis. The Ade aptamer was engineered into an aptamer beacon by adding a gold nanoparticle-modified nucleotide sequence which is complementary to aptamer sequence (FDNA) at the 3'-end of FDNA. The fluorescence signal "turning on" was observed when AB was bound to Ade, which is attributed to a significant conformational change in AB from a FDNA/QDNA duplex to a FDNA-Ade complex. The Ade measurement was carried out in 20 mmol L-1 Tris-HCl buffer solution of pH 7.4, Delta F signal linearly correlated with the concentration of Ade over the range of 2.0 x 10(-8) to 1.8 x 10(-6) mol L-1. The limit of detection (LOD) for Ade is 6.0 x 10(-9) mol L-1 with relative standard deviations (R.S.D) of 3.64-5.36%, and the recoveries were 98.6%, 100%, 102% (n = 6), respectively. The present method has been successfully applied to determine Ade in human urine samples, and the obtained results were in good agreement with those obtained by the HPLC method. Our investigation shows that the unique properties of the AB could provide a promising potential for small molecules detection, and be benefit to extend the application of aptamer beacon technique.

摘要:
In this critical review, metal oxides-based materials for electrochemical supercapacitor (ES) electrodes are reviewed in detail together with a brief review of carbon materials and conducting polymers. Their advantages, disadvantages, and performance in ES electrodes are discussed through extensive analysis of the literature, and new trends in material development are also reviewed. Two important future research directions are indicated and summarized, based on results published in the literature: the development of composite and nanostructured ES materials to overcome the major challenge posed by the low energy density of ES (476 references).
