Studies on the electron transfer centers of amino oxidase immobilized on self-assembly monolayer using electrochemical methods

The direct electron transfer of amino oxidase on electrode surface based on self-assembly technique occurs at 505 mW(vs. Ag/AgCl), indicating that copper atoms are the electron transfer centers and catalytic centers of amino oxidase.

Kinetics of electrocatalytic ascorbic acid at ultramicroelectrode modified by Eastman-AQ polymer containing tris(2,2-'-bipyridine) osmium(III/II) complexes as electron-transfer centers

The theoretical model[17] of an ultramicroelectrode modified with a redox species film is used as the diagnostic tool to characterize the catalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid at carbon fiber ultramicrodisk electrodes coated with an Eastman-AQ-Os(bpy)(3)(2+) film. The electrocatalytic behavior of ascorbic acid at the ultramicroelectrode modified by an Eastman-AQ polymer containing tris(2,2'-bipyridine) osmium(III/II) as mediators is described. In order to determine the five characteristic currents quantitatively, the radius of the ultramicroelectrode and the concentration of ascorbic acid are varied systematically. The kinetic zone diagram has been used to study the electrocatalytic system. This system with 0.5-2.75 mM ascorbic acid belongs to SR + E case, and the concentration profiles of the catalyst in the film are given in detail. Finally, optimizing the design of catalytic system is discussed.

CHARGE COMPENSATION AND LUMINOUS CENTERS IN CAF2-CE3+

We synthesize some powder phosphors of CaF2:Ce3+ under different reaction conditions, find three luminous centres, and demonstrate that each luminous centre is formed with different charge compensation procedures.

THE INVESTIGATION ON THE EMISSION CENTERS AND SUBSTITUTING SITES IN KMGF3-CE3+

With the method of high temperature solid state reaction and stockbarger, we synthesized a series of powder phosphors of KMgF3-Ce3+, KMg1-alphaMalphaF3-Ce3+(M = Be2+, Ca2+) and the single crystal of KMgF3-Ce3+. We tested their excitation and emission spectra, found two emission centers in KMgF3-Ce3+ and demonstrated that they resulted from different charge compensating ways. By the structural analysis on KMgF3-Ce-3+ from a four-cycle diffractometer and spectral analysis on KMg1-alphaMalphaF3-Ce3+(M = Be2+, Ca2+), we deduced that Ce3+ ion only.substituted K+ site in KMgF3.

STUDY ON THE ACTIVE-CENTERS OF METHANE COUPLING CATALYSTS BY MEANS OF FLUORESCENCE EMISSION OF EU3+

Eu3+ ion was adopted as a probe to detect the probability of entrance of alkali elements into the crystal lattice of MgO, CaO and La2O3 by means of its characteristic emission. Based on the experimental data it is concluded that Li+ and Na+ ions can substitute Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions and only a small amount of K+ ion can enter into the lattice of CaO. Whilst Li+ ion can not enter into the lattice of lanthana. The conclusion of this investigation is in good agreement with that obtained by Lunsford by ESR studies.
