Correlated Light-Serial Scanning Electron Microscopy (CoLSSEM) for ultrastructural visualization of single neurons in vivo
摘要： A challenging aspect of neuroscience revolves around mapping the synaptic connections within neural circuits (connectomics) over scales spanning several orders of magnitude (nanometers to meters). Despite significant improvements in serial section electron microscopy (SSEM) technologies, several major roadblocks have impaired its general applicability to mammalian neural circuits. In the present study, we introduce a new approach that circumvents some of these roadblocks by adapting a genetically-encoded ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2) as a fusion protein to a membrane-targeted fluorescent reporter (CAAX-Venus), and introduce it in single pyramidal neurons in vivo using extremely sparse in utero cortical electroporation. This approach allows us to perform Correlated Light-SSEM (CoLSSEM), a variant of Correlated Light-EM (CLEM), on individual neurons, reconstructing their dendritic and axonal arborization in a targeted way via combination of high-resolution confocal microscopy, and subsequent imaging of its ultrastructural features and synaptic connections with ATUM-SEM (automated tape-collecting ultramicrotome - scanning electron microscopy) technology. Our method significantly will improve the feasibility of large-scale reconstructions of neurons within a circuit, and permits the description of some ultrastructural features of identified neurons with their functional and/or structural connectivity, one of the main goal of connectomics.

Photo-Sensitive Pb5S2I6 Crystal Incorporated Polydopamine Biointerface Coated on Nanoporous TiO2 as an Efficient Signal-on Photoelectrochemical Bioassay for Ultrasensitive Detection of Cr(VI) ions
摘要： An ultrasensitive Visible light-triggered photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was designed based on ideal photoactive lead sulfoiodide (Pb5S2I6) as low band gap crystal, which hydrothermally synthesized rapidly at low temperature (160°C) in hydrochloride acid media followed by its incorporation into polydopamine as reactive photo-biointerface, through a facile in situ electropolymerization method, coated on nanoporous TiO2 grown by anodization on Ti foil. The structure of as-prepared samples and their photoelectrochemical properties were fully characterized. This unique photo-sensitive Pb5S2I6 catalyst-based PEC bioassay was constructed for the detection of low-abundant Cr(VI) ion in real samples. Applying central composite design, individual and mutual interaction effects were evaluated to obtain optimized solution pH, applied potential and radiant light wavelength as operational factors influencing the PEC efficiency for Cr(VI) detection. At optimal condition, the proposed sensor due to effective suppress in electron–hole recombinations showed a very low detection limit of 3.0 nM, over a broad linear concentration range of 0.01 μM-80 μM in addition to high sensitivity versus 1.9 μA/μM Cr(VI). Proposed PEC sensor displayed high selectivity, reproducibility and stability as well as improved excitation conversion efficiency, which make it highly applicable using solar energy. The potential applicability of the designed sensor was evaluated in water, tomato juice and hair color.

G‐C3N4‐SiC‐Pt for Enhanced Photocatalytic H2 Production from Water under Visible Light Irradiation
摘要： The g-C3N4 and SiC has drawn increasing attention for application to visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water splitting due to their unique band structure and high physicochemical stability. In this study, g-C3N4-SiC heterojunction with loaded noble metal was constructed. The g-C3N4-SiC-Pt composite photocatalysts were successfully prepared by the combination method of a bio-reduction, sol-deposition and calcination. The layers of g-C3N4 were thinned and the SiC and Pt nanoparticles simultaneously were tightly bound to g-C3N4 by calcination in the process of preparing the g-C3N4-SiC-Pt. The heterojunction formed in the interface of SiC and g-C3N4 enhances the separation efficiency of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs. These composite photocatalysts achieve a high hydrogen evolution rate of 595.3 μmol·h-1·g-1 with a 1wt% of deposited Pt, 3.7- and 2.07-fold higher than g-C3N4-bulk and g-C3N4-SiC under visible-light irradiation with a quantum efficiency of 2.76% at 420 nm, respectively.

Near-Infrared Light-Driven Controllable Motions of Gold-Hollow-Microcone Array
摘要： Micro/nanomotors can effectively convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, which have been widely used in microscopic fields. However, it is still challenging to integrate the micro/nanomotors to perform complex tasks for broad applications. Herein, a new mode for driving the collective motion behaviors of integrated micro/nanomotors in a liquid by plasmonic heating is reported. The integrated micro/nanomotors, constituted by gold hollow microcone array (AuHMA), are fabricated via colloidal lithography. Owing to the excellent plasmonic-heating property of AuHMA, the integrated micro/nanomotors can generate vapor bubbles in the liquid as exposure to near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, therefore inducing versatile motions via on/off NIR irradiation. The floating-diving motions are reversible for at least 60 cycles without fatigue. In addition, precise manipulation of the coordinated motion behaviors, including bending, convex, and jellyfish-like floating motions, can be realized by adjusting the irradiated positions of incident NIR light together with the sizes and shapes of AuHMA films. Moreover, the AuHMA film can act as a robust motor to drive a foam craft over 57 folds of its own weight as exposure to NIR irradiation. Our investigation into the NIR-driven AuHMA film provides a facile approach for obtaining integrated micro/nanomotors with controllable collective motions, which holds promise in remotely controlled smart devices and soft robotics in liquids.

P‐type Sb‐doped Cu <sub/>2</sub> O Hole Injection Layer Integrated on Transparent ITO Electrode for Acidic PEDOT:PSS‐Free Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes
摘要： It is developed that transparent p-type Sb-doped cuprous oxide (ACO) integrated Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO) film as hole injection layer (HIL) and anode combined electrodes for quantum dot light emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) to substitute acidic PEDOT:PSS HIL based electrode. By graded co-sputtering of ACO and ITO targets, the graded p-type ACO buffer layer can be integrated on the surface region of the ITO electrodes. P-type conductivity of the ACO film for acting as effective HIL in QD-LEDs is confirmed by a positive Hall coefficient (1.74 (cid:1) 10 (cid:3)1). Due to the well-matched work function of p-type ACO on the ITO electrodes, the acidic PEDOT:PSS-free QD-LEDs exhibited typical current-voltage-luminescence of QD-LEDs. The successful operation of PEDOT:PSS-free QD-LED with p-type ACO integrated ITO electrode indicates that ACO and ITO anode graded sputtering is simpler fabrication steps for cost-effective QD-LEDs and elimination of interfacial reactions caused by the acidic PEDOT:PSS layer for reliable QD-LEDs.

Preparation of Ag-AgVO3/g-C3N4 composite photo-catalyst and degradation characteristics of antibiotics
摘要： The degradation of tetracycline by silver vanadate (AgVO3), graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and their composites was studied by visible light photocatalysis. Their structures and morphologies were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Their degradation intermediates were analyzed by GC-MS. Nanorod silver vanadate was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The results show that the gap between nanorods is reduced by adding spinning carbon nitride, and the photocatalytic performance of the composite is stronger than that of single material. The reaction rate constants of Ag-AgVO3/g-C3N4 composites were 0.0298 min-1, 2.4 and 2.0 times that of g-C3N4 (K=0.0125 min-1) and AgVO3 (K=0.0152 min-1), respectively. At 120 minutes, the degradation rate of the composites reached 83.6%. The degradation of tetracycline was confirmed by GC-MS, and a possible degradation process was proposed.

Construction of novel Z-scheme Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 system with enhanced electron transfer capacity for visible light photocatalytic degradation of sulfanilamide
摘要： A novel Z-scheme system, Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 with enhanced electron transfer capacity was constructed for degrading sulfanilamide (SAM) using solar light. The photocatalytic activity of Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 was investigated. The effects of the mass ratio (ZnFe2O4:BiTaO4), doped V dose, Ag wt.% content, and irradiation time on the catalytic performance were evaluated. The reasonable mechanism of Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 solar photocatalytic degradation was also presented. These results reveal Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 possesses enhanced photocatalytic performance. The loaded Ag as electron mediator increases the electron transfer rate. Particularly, the doped V and the Fe ions from ZnFe2O4 form a powerful electron driving force, which enhances the electron transfer capacity. Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 shows optimal photocatalytic performance at 2.0 wt.% Ag and 0.5% doped V dose (ZnFe2O4:BiTaO4=1.0:0.5). Also, Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 exhibits high stability and repeatability in photocatalytic degradation. Several active species (?OH, ?O2?, and h+) are produced in the Z-scheme photodegradation of SAM. These results on the enhanced photocatalytic activity of Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 are ascribed to synergistic photocatalytic effects of ZnFe2O4 and BiTa1-xVxO4 mediated through Ag and driven by doped V and Fe ions. Therefore, the Z-scheme Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 photocatalytic technology proves to be promising for the solar photocatalytic treatment of antibiotics under solar light.

Sol-gel processed vanadium oxide as efficient hole injection layer in visible and ultraviolet organic light-emitting diodes
摘要： Low-cost, high-throughput and scalable production currently boosts organic electronic device towards solution processing. Sol-gel processed aqueous vanadium oxide (h-VOx) is facilely synthesized and proven to be efficient hole injection layer (HIL) in visible and ultraviolet organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Atomic force microscopy and X-ray/ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements indicate that h-VOx behaves superior film morphology and exceptional electronic properties such as oxygen vacancy dominated non-stoichiometry and appropriate surface work function. With tris(8-hydroxy-quinolinato)aluminium as emitter, the visible OLED gives maximum luminous and power efficiencies of 6.3 cd/A and 3.2 lm/W, respectively, which are slightly superior to the counterpart with vacuum thermally-evaporated VOx (5.6 cd/A and 2.7 lm/W). With 3-(4-biphenyl)-4-phenyl-5-tert-butylphenyl-1,2,4-triazole as emitter, the ultraviolet OLED produces attractive short-wavelength emission of 379 nm with full width at half maximum of 40 nm and improved durability. The maximum radiance and external quantum efficiency reach 15.3 mW/cm2 and 2.92%, respectively, which are considerably enhanced in comparison with the corresponding reference (11.9 mW/cm2 and 2.32%). Current versus voltage characteristics and impedance spectroscopy analysis elucidate that h-VOx exhibits robust hole injection and accordingly high-performance OLEDs. Our results pave an alternative way for advancing organic electronic devices and VOx applications with solution process.

Broad-band emission and color tuning of Eu3+-doped LiCa2SrMgV3O12 phosphors for warm white light-emitting diodes
摘要： In this study, series of Eu3+-doped LiCa2SrMgV3O12 (LCSMV) phosphors with broad-band emission and color tunable feature were prepared via solid phase reaction. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results presented a pure cubic phase product with micron-sized and homogeneous distribution of element. Their spectroscopic properties were investigated systematically by photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and emission (PL) spectra, temperature-dependent PL spectra and luminescence decay curves. The LCSMV phosphors displayed a strong absorption to ultraviolet light and a broad cyan emission. Moreover, in Eu3+-doped LCSMV phosphors, Eu3+ ion characteristic emissions at 589, 610, 651 and 705 nm, attributing to the 5D0→7F1, 7F2, 7F3 and 7F4 transitions, were observed. Along with Eu3+ ion concentrations increasing, the emission colors could be readily tuned from cyan to orange and the decay lifetimes of (VO4)3- became shorter. Meanwhile, electric dipole-dipole interaction was responsible to energy migration from (VO4)3- groups to Eu3+ ions. Further, the quantum efficiency (QE) values were estimated to be 32.5% for LCSMV host and 39.3% for LCSMV: 0.01Eu3+ sample. Finally, a LED lamp was prepared by integrating the blend of the LCSMV: 0.01Eu3+ phosphors and commercial blue-emitting BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ phosphors with NUV chip (365 nm) and exhibited warm white light (CCT = 3655 K, Ra = 90), which may be applied in lighting and display field.

Robust CsPbX <sub/>3</sub> (X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite quantum dot embedded glasses: nanocrystallization, improved stability and visible full-spectral tunable emissions
摘要： Currently, all inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) of cesium lead halides (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, and I) have been mainly fabricated using wet chemical methods. Unfortunately, applications of perovskite QDs have been limited due to their poor stability. In the present work, the in situ growth of whole-family CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite QDs in Zn–P–B–Sb based oxide glass via a glass crystallization strategy is reported. The as-prepared CsPbX3 QDs@glass nanocomposites exhibit typical excitonic recombination emissions and superior chemical stability benefited from the protection of the robust inorganic glass matrix. Through modifying the molar ratio of halide sources in glass, multi-color tunable emissions in the entire visible spectral range of 400–750 nm are achieved. As a result, light-emitting diode devices can be constructed by coupling blue-emissive CsPbBrCl2, green-emissive CsPbBr3 and red-emissive CsPbBr0.5I2.5 QDs@glass powders with a commercial ultraviolet chip, yielding bright white light luminescence with excellent optoelectronic performance.
