Photoluminescent porous aerogel monoliths containing ZnEu-complex: the first example of aerogel modified with a heteronuclear metal complex
摘要: A procedure for the chemical immobilization of a new ZnII–EuIII heterobimetallic complex in the SiO2 aerogel matrix has been developed. In this Zn–Eu complex, a peripheral non-luminescent Zn ion acts as a binder to a silica matrix and prevents direct interaction of rare-earth ions with OH? and NH? groups in the silica matrix, which would have a detrimental effect on the luminescence of lanthanides. The procedure includes the synthesis of complexes, co-gelation of the obtained complex with SiO2 sol, the washing of lyogels, and their subsequent supercritical drying in CO2. The composition and properties of the obtained aerogels were investigated using a low-temperature nitrogen adsorption technique, helium pycnometry, FTIR, Raman, UV–visible, and luminescence spectroscopy, XPS, PXRD, SEM, TEM, TGA combined with mass spectrometry, and small-angle neutron scattering. The aerogels modi?ed with the ZnII–EuIII complex demonstrated strong red luminescence upon excitation with UV light.

Luminescent Mesoporous Silica Nanohybrid Based on Drug Derivative Terbium Complex
摘要: Mesoporous silica nanoparticles prepared by organic template-driven synthesis have been successfully explored as carriers of the drug-derivate green luminescent complex of terbium (III) with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen. The terbium (III) complex was synthesized by reacting ketoprofen sodium salt with terbium (III) chloride, which was further adsorbed onto the surface of mesoporous nanoparticles with a mean particle size of 47 ± 4 nm and pore size of 11 nm. The incorporation of the complex into mesoporous silica nanoparticles was tracked by the decrease in the surface area and pore size of the nanoparticles, and successfully demonstrated by substantial changes in the adsorption isotherms and thermal and vibrational spectroscopy results. The cytotoxicity assay and confocal microscopy have shown that the novel luminescent nanohybrid presents high cell viability and the characteristic terbium (III) emission can be assessed through two-photon excitation, which paves the way for bioimaging applications in nanomedicine.

Fabrication of nanometer-sized high-silica SAPO-5 and its enhanced photocatalytic performance for methyl orange degradation
摘要: Higher efficient degradation of methyl orange (MO) was demonstrated with nanometer-sized high-silica SAPO-5. By a hydrothermal process, synthesized high-silica SAPO-5 and low-silica SAPO-5 showed Si-to-Al ratios of 4.20 and 0.11, respectively. High-silica SAPO-5 showed much better MO degradation efficiency with a dosage of 70 mg in MO solution with a concentration of 10 mg/L under ultraviolet illumination. High-silica SAPO-5 also exhibited good producibility for preparation and stable photocatalytic activity even after the fifth recycling test. Optical characterizations of DRS, XPS, photocurrent density and time-resolved fluorescence were carried out for SAPO-5 samples. Finally, free radical and hole scavenging experiments were investigated for high-silica SAPO-5, and a MO photodegradation mechanism based on the charge transfer excited state of [Al2+–O?]* was proposed. This work highlights great prospects of high-silica SAPO-5 for organic pollutant removal with virtues of ideal efficiency and environmental friendliness.

Enhancing photoluminescence of carbon quantum dots doped PVA films with randomly dispersed silica microspheres
摘要: As a kind of excellent photoluminescent material, carbon quantum dots have been extensively studied in many fields, including biomedical applications and optoelectronic devices. They have been dispersed in polymer matrices to form luminescent films which can be used in LEDs, displays, sensors, etc. Owing to the total internal reflection at the flat polymer/air interfaces, a significant portion of the emitted light are trapped and dissipated. In this paper, we fabricate free standing flexible PVA films with photoluminescent carbon quantum dots embedded in them. We disperse silica microspheres at the film surfaces to couple out the total internal reflection. The effects of sphere densities and diameters on the enhancement of photoluminescence are experimentally investigated with a homemade microscope. The enhancement of fluorescence intensity is as high as 1.83 when the film is fully covered by spheres of 0.86 μm diameter. It is worth noting that the light extraction originates from rather the scattering of individual spheres than the diffraction of ordered arrays. The mechanism of scattering is confirmed by numerical simulations. The simulated results show that the evanescent wave at the flat PVA/air interface can be effectively scattered out of the film.

Preparation of ellipsoidal rod-shaped silica nanocomposite abrasives by Chromium ion/PEG200 induced method for sapphire substrates chemical mechanical polishing
摘要: Abrasive is vital to sapphire substrates chemical mechanical polishing and provides the most critical support for ?attening of sapphire. This work proposed a method to prepare ellipsoidal rod-shaped silica nanocomposite abrasives in order to increase the material removal rate and improve the surface roughness, which were applied to chemical mechanical polishing on sapphire substrates. Ellipsoidal rod-shaped silica nanocomposite abrasives were prepared by Chromium ion/PEG200 induced method. In this work, the synthesis process of ellipsoidal rod-shaped silica nanocomposite abrasives was discussed. As an inducing agent, Chromium compounds were bonded with two SiO2 particles via chemical bonds. And ellipsoidal rod-shaped silica nanocomposite abrasives were coated by PEG200 via hydrogen bonds. Results from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and time-of-?ight secondary ion mass spectroscopy revealed the occurrence of solid-state chemical reactions. The contact angle tests indicated the polishing liquid containing ellipsoidal rod-shaped silica nanocomposite abrasives had a good wettability. Ellipsoidal rod-shaped silica nanocomposite abrasives showed an excellent chemical mechanical polishing performance with a higher material removal and a lower surface roughness due to an excellent combination of chemical effect and mechanical effect occurred between ellipsoidal rod-shaped silica nanocomposite abrasives and sapphire substrates. A material removal model was built to describe the polishing behavior of ellipsoidal rod-shaped silica nanocomposite abrasives.

In Situ Synthesis of Fluorescent Mesoporous Silica–Carbon Dot Nanohybrids Featuring Folate Receptor-Overexpressing Cancer Cell Targeting and Drug Delivery
摘要: Multifunctional nanocarrier-based theranostics is supposed to overcome some key problems in cancer treatment. In this work, a novel method for the preparation of a fluorescent mesoporous silica–carbon dot nanohybrid was developed. Carbon dots (CDs), from folic acid as the raw material, were prepared in situ and anchored on the surface of amino-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs–NH2) via a microwave-assisted solvothermal reaction. The as-prepared nanohybrid (designated MSNs–CDs) not only exhibited strong and stable yellow emission but also preserved the unique features of MSNs (e.g., mesoporous structure, large specific surface area, and good biocompatibility), demonstrating a potential capability for fluorescence imaging-guided drug delivery. More interestingly, the MSNs–CDs nanohybrid was able to selectively target folate receptor-overexpressing cancer cells (e.g., HeLa), indicating that folic acid still retained its function even after undergoing the solvothermal reaction. Benefited by these excellent properties, the fluorescent MSNs–CDs nanohybrid can be employed as a fluorescence-guided nanocarrier for the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs (e.g., doxorubicin), thereby enhancing chemotherapeutic efficacy and reducing side effects. Our studies may provide a facile strategy for the fabrication of multifunctional MSN-based theranostic platforms, which is beneficial in the diagnosis and therapy of cancers in future.

Fabrication of Remarkably Bright QD Densely-Embedded Silica Nanoparticle
摘要: We developed a synthesis method for silica-coated quantum dot (QD)-densely-embedded silica nanoparticle (Si@D-QD@Si NP) with remarkably brighter fluorescence by increasing the number of QDs on silica NPs. Si@D-QD@Si NPs exhibited a narrow size distribution and a high signal reproducibility. Red, green, and blue Si@D-QD@Si NPs were successfully fabricated and characterized. The Si@D-QD@Si NP carried 2.4 times more QDs than previously reported silica-coated QD-embedded silica NP (Si@QD@Si NP). The quantum yield of Si@D-QD@Si NPs was slightly higher than Si@QD@Si NPs. The red Si@D-QD@Si NPs showed approximately 26.6%, the green Si@D-QD@Si NP 36.2%, and the blue Si@D-QD@Si NP 39.3% higher fluorescence intensity compared to the corresponding Si@QD@Si NPs. This result implied that the particles can be used at bio-field with a higher sensitive detection.

Research on photo-radiation darkening performance of ytterbium-doped silica fibers for space applications
摘要: Yb3+/Al3+-doped and Yb3+/Al3+/P5+-doped silica fibers with almost identical Yb3+ doping concentrations were prepared using modified chemical vapor deposition methods. A harsh experimental environment for simultaneous photo-darkening (PD) and radio-darkening (RD) of an ytterbium-doped silica fiber (YDF) was established. The RD, PD, and photo–radio-darkening (PRD) of the YDF were characterized at two dose rates of 0.1 rad(Si)/s and 1 rad(Si)/s. The laser performances before and after the darkening process were tested under 974-nm pumping. The results demonstrated that the PD largely dominated the PRD kinetics of the YDF at a low dose rate (e.g., that in space) and that the PRD was not a superposition of RD and PD owing to the pump light bleaching if the induced loss was larger than the PD equilibrium level. The induced loss and defect types were investigated through absorption spectra and electron paramagnetic resonance. The results revealed that the P doping could enhance the PD, RD, and PRD resistances by inhibiting the formation of aluminum–oxygen hole centers.

Molecular dynamics simulation study on the structure and properties of polyimide/silica hybrid materials
摘要: A type of polyimide/silica (PI/SiO2) copolymer model was established through the dehydration of tetraethyl orthosilicate molecules (TEOS) and bonding to a silane coupling agent. The content of SiO2 was controlled by adjusting the number of molecules which bound to the TEOS. Finally, the silica was formed into a hybrid model (hybrid PI/SiO2) with a small molecule embedded in the PI. The model was optimized by geometric and molecular dynamics and the changes in the model structure, Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and glass-transition temperature (Tg) were analyzed. The results showed that the density and cohesive energy density of the composites could be improved by doping SiO2 in PI. Young’s modulus and shear modulus of PI/SiO2 hybrid materials were higher than undoped PI. The tensile strength reached 568.15 MPa when the doping content was 9%. Therefore, the structure design and content control of SiO2 was an effective way to improve the performance of a PI/SiO2 composite. The variation of Tg and tensile strength of PI/SiO2 hybrid composites is consistent with that of PI/SiO2 composite synthesized in real experiment, which will be a convenient method for new material design and performance prediction. ? 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
