The WO3 film was prepared by dip coating method with WCl6 as the soure of tungsten and P123 as the structure-directing agent. The crystalline phase and microstructure of the film were characterized through XRD and TEM techniques, respectively. It was found the film annealed at 300°C for 4h mainly was amorphous WO3 with a little monoclinic WO3. The TEM micrographs revealed the film was partly ordered mesoporous and the mean pore diameter was about 5nm. The measurements of the cyclic voltammetry suggested that the WO3 film had a good electrochromic reversibility performance. The ratio of amount of charge intercalated and amount of charge deintercalated during the cyclic voltammetry, was over 99%. The film possessed a very short respond time which was only about 3.1s.
In this research, powders of Y2Mo3O12 and Yb2Mo3O12 were successfully synthesized by liquid phase coprecipitation, followed with a heat treatment at 750°C for 6h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that the Y2Mo3O12 and Yb2Mo3O12 were single orthorhombic structure with the space group of Pbcn. Negative thermal expansion properties of Y2Mo3O12 and Yb2Mo3O12 were studied with high temperature XRD analysis. The thermal expansion coefficients of Y2Mo3O12 and Yb2Mo3O12 were calculated to be -5.943×10-6K-1 and -6.237×10-6K-1 respectively.
This study develops a nanocomposite structure with magnetism and biocompatibility. Composite structures with magnetism can be applied for biomarkers, specific tissue cell detection and targeted drug therapy. This study adopts a chemical disposition method to prepare Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with the average size of 20-25nm. The complex biocompatible chitosan-alginate membrane covers Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles and the thickness of the complex membrane is controlled at 50-80nm. The efficiency of the oligonucleotide (ODN) combination is increased through the high biocompatibility of this composite film. Two groups of different sequences of ODNs and a bridge ODN undergo hybridization. The results show that the intensity at which the Fe3O4 is covered by chitosan-alginate composite film conjugated with ODNs is 2300nN. Furthermore, Fe3O4 covered by complex membrane of chitosan-alginate hybridized with 30 μM ODNs to yield the optimum hybridization intensity of 4528 nN, and the average hybridization intensity of ODNs with different concentration is 3971 nN.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
