Local piezoresponse force microscopy images show possible ferroelectric domains detected in the out of plane mode and these results are confirmed by the second harmonic generation analysis. Alginate powder is composed by diatom frustules containing a cristobalite-like compound, amorphous silica and chitin. The experimental results are explained by MM+ and PM3 computer simulations that establish that the self-assembly of the alginate molecules enhance the polarization increasing the molecular collective dipole moment. Alginate molecular properties might open interesting possibilities for organic technological applications.展开更多

The grafting is based on the triple complexation among a host of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and two guests of diEV and Np, which is characterized by UV-vis spectra and ITC. Temperature sensitive property of PNIPAm moiety allows SGP to self-assemble into non-covalently connected micelle (NCCM) at high temperature. The micelles are sensitive to reducing agents, for example Na2S203, which breaks the current inclusion complex pair and induces aggregation.展开更多

文摘以天然生物大分子鞣花酸(EA)为有机配体,Zn(CH_3COO)_2·2H_2O为锌源,N-甲基吡咯烷酮为溶剂,在室温下经超分子自组装形成金属生物大分子配合物(Zn EA)前驱体,再经碳化制备了分级多孔碳球.研究了不同碳化温度和酸洗处理过程对多孔碳球的结构、形貌、比表面积和电化学储能的影响.结果表明,在惰性气氛下,1000℃下碳化制备的多孔碳材料(C-Zn EA-1000)的比表面积高达1238 m^2/g,最可几孔径分布约为4 nm;在6 mol/L KOH电解液中,扫描速率为5 m V/s时比电容为216 F/g.当扫描速率由5 m V/s增加到100 m V/s时,其比电容保持率为84.67%,显示了优异的倍率特性.在1 A/g的电流密度下,经过5000周充放电循环后比电容的损失仅为3%,具有优异的循环稳定性.
