Application of in-plasma catalysis and post-plasma catalysis for methane partial oxidation to methanol over a Fe2O3-CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst

Methane partial oxidation to methanol (MPOM) using dielectric barrier discharge over a Fe2O3-CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was performed. The multicomponent catalyst was combined with plasma in two different configurations, i.e., in-plasma catalysis (IPC) and post-plasma catalysis (PPC). It was found that the catalytic performance of the catalysts for MPOM was strongly dependent on the hybrid configuration. A better synergistic performance of plasma and catalysis was achieved in the IPC configuration, but the catalysts packed in the discharge zone showed lower stability than those connected to the discharge zone in sequence. Active species, such as ozone, atomic oxygen and methyl radicals, were produced from the plasma-catalysis process, and made a major contribution to methanol synthesis. These active species were identified by the means of in situ optical emission spectra, ozone measurement and FT-IR spectra. It was confirmed that the amount of active species in the IPC system was greater than that in the PPC system. The results of TG, XRD, and N2 adsorption-desorption revealed that carbon deposition on the spent catalyst surface was responsible for the catalyst deactivation in the IPC configuration.     

The detection of tetrahydrofuran hydrate formation and saturation using magnetic resonance imaging technique

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrate was formed in bulk as well as in glass beads pack with a mean diameter of 3.0 mm by controlling the temperature under ambient pressure. Images of THF hydrate formation procedure were obtained using the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique. The experiment results showed that MRI is an effective method for the detection of hydrate formation. Saturation of hydrate formed both in bulk and glass beads can be confirmed by intensity integration of MRI images.

Thermoresponsive copolymer nanofilms for controlling cell adhesion, growth, and detachment

This study reports the development and use of a novel thermoresponsive polymeric nanofilm for controlling cell adhesion and growth at 37 °C, and then cell detachment for cell recovery by subsequent temperature drop to the ambient temperature, without enzymatic cleavage or mechanical scraping. A copolymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-hydroxypropyl methacrylate-co-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate) (abbreviated PNIPAAm copolymer), was synthesized by free radical polymerization. The thermoresponses of the copolymer in aqueous solution were demonstrated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) through detecting the sensitive changes of copolymer aggregation against temperature. The DLS measurements revealed the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at approximately 30 °C. The PNIPAAm film stability and robustness was provided through silyl cross-linking within the film and with the hydroxyl groups on the substrate surface. Film thickness, stability, and reversibility with respect to temperature switches were examined by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angle measurements. The results confirmed the high extent of thermosensitivity and structural restoration based on the alterations of film thickness and surface wettability. The effective control of adhesion, growth, and detachment of HeLa and HEK293 cells demonstrated the physical controllability and cellular compatibility of the copolymer nanofilms. These PNIPAAm copolymer nanofilms could open up a convenient interfacial mediation for cell film production and cell expansion by nonenzymatic and nonmechanical cell recovery.     

Viscosity effect on the CIDEP of laser photolysis of duroquinone in hydrogen-donor solvents

Chemically induced dynamic electron polarization (CIDEP) is one of the important research fields of dynamic spin chemistry. In the present work, with ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanol and their mixtures with different ratios in volume as solvents and duroquinone as photosensitive molecule, the influence of solvent viscosity on the CIDEP of photolyzed duroquinone radicals has been studied experimentally. In each solvent, duroquinone neutral radicals are observed. Duroquinone neutral radicals are generated through hydrogen transfer reaction from hydrogen-donor solvent molecules to excited duroquinone triplet. The CIDEP mechanism is mainly triplet mechanism. The CIDEP intensity of duroquinone neutral radicals decreases with the increase in the solvent viscosity, and the variation was rapid in low-viscosity range and slow in high-viscosity range.     

Chiral Mesoporous Organosilica Nanospheres: Effect of Pore Structure on the Performance in Asymmetric Catalysis

(R)‐(+)‐1,1′‐Bi‐2‐naphthol ((R)‐(+)‐Binol)‐functionalized (Binol=2,2′‐dihydroxy‐1,1′‐binaphthyl) chiral mesoporous organosilica nanospheres with uniform particle size (100 to 300 nm) have been synthesized by co‐condensation of tetraethoxysilane and (R)‐2,2′‐di(methoxymethyl)oxy‐6,6′‐di(1‐propyl trimethoxysilyl)‐1,1′‐binaphthyl in a basic medium with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as the template. Nanospheres with a radiative 2D hexagonal channel arrangement exhibit higher enantioselectivity and turnover frequency than those with a penetrating 2D hexagonal channel arrangement (94 versus 88 % and 43 versus 15 h^?1, respectively) in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. In addition, under similar conditions, the enantioselectivity of the nanospheres can be greatly improved as the structural order of the framework increases. These results clearly show that the structural order of nanospheres affects enantioselective reactions. The enantioselectivity of the nanospheres synthesized by the co‐condensation method is higher than that of nanospheres prepared by a grafting method and even higher than that of their homogeneous counterpart. These results indicate that the bite angle of (R)‐(+)‐Binol bridging in a more rigid porous network is in a more favorable position for achieving higher enantioselectivity. The efficiency of a co‐condensation method for the synthesis of high‐performance heterogeneous asymmetric catalysts is also reported.
