Single-phased white-light-emitting Ca-4(PO4)(2)O:Ce3+,Eu2+ phosphors based on energy transfer
A novel single-composition Ca-4(PO4)(2)O:Ce3+,Eu2+ phosphor emitting white light was synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction for light-emitting diode applications. X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence spectra, and luminescence decay spectra were used to characterize the samples. Energy transfer from Ce3+ to Eu2+ ions was observed in the co-doped samples, and the transfer mechanism in the Ca-4(PO4)(2)O:Ce3+,Eu2+ phosphors was dipole-dipole interaction. The emission hue of Ca-4(PO4)(2)O:Ce3+,Eu2+ was found to vary from blue (0.165, 0.188) to white (0.332, 0.300) and eventually to orange (0.519, 0.366) by precisely controlling the ratio of Ce3+ to Eu2+. The combination of a 380 nm near-ultraviolet chip with a Ca-4(PO4)(2)O:0.02Ce(3+),0.012Eu(2+) phosphor produced a diode emitting white light with ultra-wideband emission and a correlated color temperature of 4124 K. Overall, results indicated that the prepared samples may be potentially applied in white-light-emitting diodes
One-step synthesized immunostimulatory oligonucleotides-functionalized quantum dots for simultaneous enhanced immunogenicity and cell imaging
Unmethylated cytosine phosphate guanine (CpG) dinucleotides, normally occur in natural bacterial and viral genomes, show strong immunostimulatory activities to invading pathogens and have found widespread applications in both basic research and clinical trials. For the first time, we design a simple one-step synthesis of CpG-functionalized quantum dots (QDs), combining fascinating features of enhanced immunogenicity and cell imaging. The induction of QDs can greatly increase CpG uptake ability by TLR9-positive cells and elevate CpG stability against nuclease degradation. What is more, the outstanding optical properties also suggest that the CpG-QDs can serve as promising optical probes for the evaluation of the cellular uptake efficiency of the CpG motifs. To our best knowledge, this is the first report to use a facile one-pot synthesis strategy that allows the CpG-functionalized QDs to be prepared, which are able to serve as both the potent platform for immunotherapy and the fluorescent probes for intracellular imaging.

Aptamer-based colorimetric biosensing of abrin using catalytic gold nanoparticles
In this study we propose a simple and sensitive colorimetric aptasensor for the quantitative analysis of abrin by using catalytic AuNPs for the first time. AuNPs possess the peroxidase-like activity that can catalyse 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2, leading to color change of the solution. It is interesting to find that the peroxidase-like activity of AuNPs can be improved by surface activation with a target-specific aptamer. However, with a target molecule, the aptamer is desorbed from the AuNPs surface, resulting in a decrease of the catalytic abilities of AuNPs. The color change of the solution is relevant to the target concentration, and this can be judged by the naked eye and monitored by using a UV-vis spectrometer. The linear range for the current analytical system was from 0.2 nM to 17.5 nM. The corresponding limit of detection (LOD) was 0.05 nM. Some other proteins such as thrombin (Th), glucose oxidase (GOx), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) all had a negligible effect on the determination of abrin. Furthermore, several practical samples spiked with abrin were analyzed using the proposed method with excellent recoveries. This aptamer-based colorimetric biosensor is superior to other conventional methods owing to its simplicity, low cost, and high sensitivity
First preparation of a triterpenoid-based supramolecular hydrogel in physiological phosphate buffered saline
A glycyrrhetinic acid-based (GA, a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid) supramolecular hydrogel was attained in physiological phosphate buffered saline for the first time. Its assembly process and potential applications in drug release were preliminarily explored
High performance of rubrene thin film transistor by weak epitaxy growth method
Rubrene single-crystal transistors have achieved one of the highest carrier mobilities in organic semiconductors. However its thin film transistor usually shows inferior performance due to the poor film quality. Therefore how to obtain large-area and high quality rubrene thin film has become a prominent challenge. This work utilized weak epitaxy growth method with new inducing layer 1,3-di( terphenyl) benzene (m-7P), and lager-area highly ordered terrace rubrene film was obtained. Based on this high quality film, the hole mobility of rubrene polycrystalline thin film transistor has been enhanced to 11.6 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) with VOPc as buffer layer between semiconductor layer and electrodes. This high device performance was attributed to the flat inducing layer and the single orientation of rubrene domains on m-7P layer, which may reduce grain boundaries and improve the film quality. This easy process to prepare large-area high performance rubrene device supplies a good opportunity for large-area electronic device manufacture. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
Non-symmetrical aluminium salen complexes: Synthesis and their reactivity with cyclic ester
Non-symmetrical aluminium salen complexes that contained different substituents were designed and synthesized. All the ligands and their complexes were characterized by H-1, C-13 NMR and elemental analysis. These complexes can be used as catalysts to produce polylactide and poly-epsilon-caprolactone. All polymerizations were living and molar mass distributions were narrow. The M-n(obsd) of the isolated polymers were in good agreement with M-n(calcd). The polymerization rate of electrophilic substituted complex was higher than the non-electrophilic substituted analogies. The bulky substituents with more steric hindrance of the complexes had relatively lower activity. Kinetic studies showed that the polymerizations were both first-ordered with respect to lactide and epsilon-caprolactone monomers. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
