The influence of the enrichment of chloride anion on stress corrosion crack （SCC） of Type 304 stainless steel has been studied. It was observed that the amount of chloride anion migration was proportional to the charge flowing through the anode. Owning to the effects of enrichment of chloride anion, low chloride concentration solution could induce SCC for Type 304 stainless steel.展开更多
The effects of chloride anion （Cl-） （up to 1.0 mol/L） on the decolorization of a model compound,azo dye Acid Orange 7 （AO7）,by sulfate radical （SO4-） based-peroxydisulfate （PS） or peroxymonosulfate （PMS） o...The effects of chloride anion （Cl-） （up to 1.0 mol/L） on the decolorization of a model compound,azo dye Acid Orange 7 （AO7）,by sulfate radical （SO4-） based-peroxydisulfate （PS） or peroxymonosulfate （PMS） oxidation under various activated conditions （UV 254 nm /PS,Thermal （70°C/PS,UV 254 nm /PMS,Co 2＋ /PMS） were investigated.Methanol and NH4 ＋ were used as quenching reagents to determine the contributions of active chlorine species （dichloride radical （Cl2-.） and hypochlorous acid （HClO））.The results indicated that the effects of Cl- on the reaction mechanism were different under various activated conditions.For UV/PS and Thermal/PS,the inhibition tendency became more clear as the Cl- concentration increased,probably due to the reaction between Cl- and SO4-.and the generation of Cl2-.or HClO.For UV/PMS,Cl- did not exhibit inhibition when the concentration was below 0.1 mol/L.As Cl- concentration reached to 1.0 mol/L,the decolorization rate of AO7 was,however,accelerated,possibly because PMS directly reacts with Cl- to form HClO.For Co2＋ /PMS,Cl- exhibited a significant inhibiting effect even at low concentration （ 0.01 mol/L）.When Cl- concentration exceeded 0.1 mol/L,the activation of PMS by Co 2＋ was almost completely inhibited.Under this condition,HClO maybe played a major role in decolorization of AO7.The results implicated that chloride ion is an important factor in SO4-.-based degradation of organic contamination in chloride-containing water.展开更多

Drugs that interact directly with CFTR are there-fore of interest in the treatment of a number of diseasestates. This review focuses on one class of small mol-ecules that interacts directly with CFTR, namely inhibi-tors that act by directly blocking chloride movementthrough the open channel pore. In theory such com-pounds could be of use in the treatment of diarrheaand polycystic kidney disease, however in practice allknown substances acting by this mechanism to inhibitCFTR function lack either the potency or specificity forin vivo use. Nevertheless, this theoretical pharmaco-logical usefulness set the scene for the developmentof more potent, specific CFTR inhibitors. Biophysically,open channel blockers have proven most useful as ex-perimental probes of the structure and function of theCFTR chloride channel pore. Most importantly, the useof these blockers has been fundamental in developing afunctional model of the pore that includes a wide innervestibule that uses positively charged amino acid sidechains to attract both permeant and blocking anionsfrom the cell cytoplasm. CFTR channels are also subjectto this kind of blocking action by endogenous anionspresent in the cell cytoplasm, and recently this blocking effect has been suggested to play a role in the physio-logical control of CFTR channel function, in particular as a novel mechanism linking CFTR function dynamically to the composition of epithelial cell secretions. It has also been suggested that future drugs could target this same pathway as a way of pharmacologically increasing CFTR activity in cystic fibrosis. Studying open channel blockers and their mechanisms of action has resulted in significant advances in our understanding of CFTR as a pharmacological target in disease states, of CFTR chan-nel structure and function, and of how 展开更多

However, Bio-based electrocatalysts possess high overpotentials, while bismuth oxides and subcarbonate encounter stability issues. This work is designated to exemplify that the operando synthesis can be an effective means to enhance the stability of electrocatalysts under operando CO_(2)RR conditions. A synthetic approach is developed to electrochemically convert Bi^(O)Cl into Cl-containing subcarbonate(Bi_(2)O_(2)(CO_(3))_(x)Cl_(y)) under operando CO_(2)RR conditions. The systematic operando spectroscopic studies depict that BiOCl is converted to Bi_(2)O_(2)(CO_(3))_(x)Cl_(y) via a cathodic potential-promoted anion-exchange process. The operando synthesizedBi_(2)O_(2)(CO_(3))_(x)Cl_(y) can tolerate-1.0 V versus RHE, while for the wet-chemistry synthesized pure Bi_(2)O_(2)CO_(3),the formation of metallic Bio occurs at-0.6 V versus RHE. At-0.8 V versus RHE, Bi_(2)O_(2)(CO_(3))_(x)Cl_(y) can readily attain a FEHCOO-of 97.9%,much higher than that of the pure Bi_(2)O_(2)CO_(3)(81.3%). DFT calculations indicate that differing from the pure Bi_(2)O_(2)CO_(3)-catalyzed CO_(2)RR, where formate is formed via a *OCHO intermediate step that requires a high energy input energy of 2.69 eV to proceed, the formation of H COO-over Bi_(2)O_(2)(CO_(3))_(x)Cl_(y) has proceeded via a *COOH intermediate step that only requires low energy input of 2.56 eV.展开更多
