LUMINESCENCE OF BI(3+) AND THE ENERGY-TRANSFER FROM BI(3+) TO R(3+) (R=EU,DY,SM,TB) IN ALKALINE-EARTH BORATES

At room temperature, the Bi3+ ion shows broad band characters of its luminescence in Ca2B2O5, M3B2O6 ( M=Ca,Sr ) and SrB4O7. The maxima of the Bi3+ S-1(0)-->P-3(1) absorption bands are located in the range of 240-300nm, but the energy variation of the corresponding P-3(1)-->S-1(0) emissions is very large. The maxima of these emission bands change from 350nm in Ca3B2O6;Bi3+ to 586nm in SrB4O7:Bi3+. The Stokes shift of the Bi3+ luminescence increases from 6118 cm-1, in Ca2B2O5:Bi3+, to 24439 cm-1, in SrB4O7:Bi3+. The emission intensity of the Bi3+ luminescence increases with the decreasing Stokes shift. It has been found that in Ca2B2O5, the Bi3+ ion could transfer its excitation energy to the R3+ ions ( R=Eu, Dy, Sm, Tb ) , but in, Ca3B2O6 and Sr3B2O6, only Bi3+-->Eu3+ was observed. No energy transfer from Bi3+ to R3+ was detected in SrB4O7.

YP_xV_(1-x)O_4(0≤x≤1):Dy~(3+)的合成及其光谱性质的研究

本文报道了不同组成的YP_xV_(1-x)O_4(0≤x≤1):Dy~(3+)的合成和结构。YP_xV_(1-x)O_4(0≤x≤1)为四方晶系,晶胞参数随x的增大呈线性减小。基质的Stokes位移随x的增大逐渐变大,而激发光谱峰值则向短波方向移动。在YP_xV_(1-x)O_4:0.006Dy~(3+)体系中,x>0.4时出现的基质发射是由P0_4~(3-)引起的。基质及Dy~(3+)的发光效率和Dy~(3+)的发光强度的黄蓝比均与x有关。同时探讨了Bi~(3+)和温度对Dy~(3+)的发光强度的影响。

Nb(Ba)加强Bi系中2223相生成作用研究

固相法合成系列名义组成为Bi_(2-x)Nb_xSr_2Ca_2Cu_3Oy(x=0—1.0)的样品,电学和磁学测量表明,当掺入x=0.2—0.3的Nb有明显加强2223相生成的作用,配比为Bi_(1.7)Nb_(0.3)Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3Oy时最佳;当掺Ba以部分取代Sr后有明显协同Nb促进22 23相生成的作用,比单掺Nb效果更为显著,其中以Bi_(1.7)Nb_(0.3)Sr_(1.8)Ba_(0.2)Ca_2Cu_3Oy为最优组成。热重分析(TGA)实验显示,掺Nb(Ba)后样品在～600°C出现吸氧增重;XPS中的O_(1s)峰显示掺Nb(Ba)后除～531eV的主峰外,在～529eV的肩峰更加明显;讨论了Nb(Ba)对晶体结构的可能影响。

THE CATALYTIC BEHAVIOR AND REACTION-MECHANISM OF THE BI-CE-O SYSTEM CATALYSTS IN THE OXIDATIVE DEHYDROAROMATIZATION OF PROPYLENE

Oxidative dehydroaromatization of propylene was investigated by the pulse technique over two kinds of single oxide catalysts. With the Bi2O3 catalyst, the main dimer product was 1,5-hexadiene, and the dimerization activity was stable to pulse number even if the catalyst was partly reduced to the bulk. With the CeO2 catalyst, benzene was mainly formed instead of 1,5-hexadiene, but the activity decreased rapidly with increasing pulse number, indicating that only the lattice oxygen near the catalyst surface could be used for oxidative dimerization and the further aromatization. The Bi-Ce-O system catalyst was found in this study to give higher aromatization activity and showed better stability, compared to the Bi-Sn-O catalyst. Although the Bi-Ce-O catalyst was only a mixture of the two component oxides from X-ray diffraction analysis, there was a significant combination effect on the selectivity to benzene. The highest and the most stable selectivity of benzene was obtained at Bi/Ce = 1. In the TPD spectrum of Bi-Ce-O catalyst, there are not only the lattice oxygen (beta-oxygen) over 620-degrees-C due to the reduction of Bi2O3, but also a great deal of the alpha-oxygen desorbed about 400-degrees-C, which is considered the absorbed oxygen in the bulk. This absorbed oxygen could probably be a compensation of the lattice oxygen through the route of gaseous --> absorbed --> lattice oxygen in the binary catalyst system. By the kinetic study on the Bi-Ce-O catalyst, the dimer formation rate was the first-order with respect to the partial pressure of propylene and zero-order of oxygen. Although detail investigation would be made further, it was considered that the complete oxidation of propylene would mainly take place parallelly on some different sites, and the rate-determining step of propylene dimerization occurred probably between an adosrbed propylene and a gaseous one by an Eley-Rideal type mechanism.

硼酸盐玻璃中Gd~(3+)、Dy~(3+)、Bi~(3+)对Tb~(3+)发光性质的影响

本文研究了单掺和双掺(Tb~(3+)、Tb~(3+)+Gd~(3+)、Tb~(3+)+Dy~(3+)、Tb~(3+)+Bi~(3+)约四十余种不同成份的硼酸盐玻璃。探讨了玻璃成份对Tb~(3+)发光性质的影响和Gd~(3+)、Dy~(3+)、Bj~(3+)对Tb~(3+)的胜化作用。在B_2O_2-BaO-M_mO_n(M_mO_n=Li_2O、Na_2O、K_2O、MgO、CaO、SrO、Al_2O_3、La_2O_3和Bi_2O_3)玻璃体系中,当M_mO_n分别为MgO和Al_2O_3时,Tb~(3+)的发光强度最强;M_mO-n为Bi_2O_3时,Tb~(3+)的发光强度最弱。Tb~(3+)的特征发射峰分别随着碱金属、碱土金属和三价金属的离子半径增加而红移。Gd~(3+)、Dy~(3+)、Bi~(3+)对Tb~(3+)均有敏化作用。特别是Gd~(3+),使Tb~(3+)的发光强度增加1～3.8倍,其最佳敏化浓度,因基质玻璃成份而异。

A Dicer-1 gene from white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei: Expression pattern in the processes of immune response and larval development

Dicer is a member of the RNAase III family which catalyzes the cleavage of double-stranded RNA to small interfering RNAs and micro RNAs, and then directs sequence-specific gene silencing. In this paper, the full-length cDNA of Dicer-1 was cloned from white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (designated as LvDcr1). It was of 7636 bp, including a poly A tail, a 5' UTR of 136 bp, a 3' UTR of 78 bp, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 7422 bp encoding a putative protein of 2473 amino acids. The predicted amino acid sequence comprised all recognized functional domains found in other Dicer-1 homologues and showed the highest (97.7%) similarity to the Dicer-1 from tiger shrimp Penaeus mondon. Quantitative real-time PCR was employed to investigate the tissue distribution of LvDcr1 mRNA, and its expression in shrimps under virus challenge and larvae at different developmental stages. The LvDcr1 mRNA could be detected in all examined tissues with the highest expression level in hemocyte, and was up-regulated in hemocytes and gills after virus injection. These results indicated that LvDcr1 was involved in antiviral defense in adult shrimp. During the developmental stages from fertilized egg to postlarva VII, LvDcr1 was constitutively expressed at all examined development stages, but the expression level varied significantly. The highest expression level was observed in fertilized eggs and followed a decrease from fertilized egg to nauplius I stage. Then, the higher levels of expression were detected at nauplius V and postlarva stages. LvDcr1 expression regularly increased at the upper phase of nauplius, zoea and mysis stages than their prophase. The different expression of LvDcr1 in the larval stages could provide clues for understanding the early innate immunity in the process of shrimp larval development. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Perovskite-type B-site Bi-doped ceramic membranes for oxygen separation

Novel mixed conducting oxides, B-site Bi-doped perovskites were exploited and synthesized. Cubic perovskite structures were formed for BaBi0.2COyFe0.8-yO3-delta (y less than or equal to 0.4) and BaBixCo0.2Fe0.8-xP3-delta (x=0.1-0.5) The materials exhibited considerable high oxygen permeability at high temperature. The oxygen permeation flux of BaBi0.2Co0.35Fe0.45O3-delta membrane reached about 0.77 x 10(-6) mol/cm(2) s under an air/helium oxygen partial pressure gradient at 900 degrees C, which was much higher than that of other bismuth-contained mixed conducting membranes. The permeation fluxes of the materials increased with the increase of cobalt content, but no apparent simple relationship was found with the bismuth content. The materials also demonstrated excellent reversibility of oxygen adsorption and desorption. Stable time-related oxygen permeation fluxes were found for BaBi0.2CO0.35Fe0.45O3-delta and BaBi0.3Co0.2Fe0.5O3-delta a membranes at 875 degrees C.
