Tin porphyrin immobilization significantly enhances visible-light-photosensitized degradation of Microcystins: Mechanistic implications

Yoo, H.Y.,Yan, S.,Ra, J.W.,Jeon, D.,Goh, B.,Kim, T.Y.,Mackeyev, Y.,Ahn, Y.Y.,Kim, H.J.,Wilson, L.J.,Alvarez, P.J.J.,Lee, Y.,Song, W.,Hong, S.W.,Kim, J.,Lee, J. Elsevier 2016 Applied catalysis. B, Environmental Vol.199 No.-

<P>This study demonstrates that tin porphyrin (SnP) loading on a silica substrate (SnP/silica) markedly accelerates the degradation of Microcystins (MCs) under visible light irradiation, despite a reduction of photosensitized singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) production. A comparative study using Rose Bengal, SnP, and C-60 aminofullerene suggested that the MC-RR decay rate was directly proportional to the photosensitizing activity for triplet state-induced oxidation, while it exhibited poor correlation to singlet oxygenation efficiency. This implies that electron transfer from MC to the triplet state of SnP (facilitated by favorable MC sorption on silica) contributes to the photosensitized MC oxidation. Experiments to examine sensitizers for the one-electron oxidation of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) showed the superiority of SnP/silica for photo-initiated electron transfer as a possible MC oxidation route. This was corroborated by the negligible effects of reagents that quench or facilitate singlet oxygenation (e.g., azide ion, D2O) on the MC-RR degradation rate. Despite MC-RR removal below detection levels, residual toxicity (indicated by a significant decrease in protein phosphatase inhibition activity) was observed. Tandem mass spectrometric analysis suggests that this residual toxicity may be ascribed to byproducts resulting from addition of a single oxygen atom to the Adda moiety. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

B-containing nanomaterial synthesis when a combustion wave moves within a packed bed of solid particles

Nersisyan, H.,Lee, T.H.,Yoo, B.U.,Kwon, S.C.,Suh, H.,Kim, J.G.,Lee, J.H. Elsevier [etc.] 2016 Combustion and Flame Vol.172 No.-

This study deals with combustion behavior of B<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>/Mg/NH<SUB>4</SUB>Cl/C complex systems for the synthesis of amorphous boron (B), boron carbide (B<SUB>4</SUB>C), and boron nitride (BN) nanostructures. The raw mixtures used in the experiments were prepared on the base of a B<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>-Mg precursor mixture, which is sufficiently exothermic to maintain a self-propagating regime of the combustion reaction. Thermodynamic analysis of the combustion temperatures and experimental validation indicate that the 1000-1500<SUP>o</SUP>C temperature range is very effective for synthesizing the nanostructures of B, B<SUB>4</SUB>C, and BN. It was found that B-containing functional nanostructures are mainly spherical nanoparticles (B) or nanosheets (B<SUB>4</SUB>C, BN). The phase composition and microstructural characteristics of the final products were evaluated based on the combustion temperature and solid/liquid phase changes.

Behavior of maltose-neopentyl glycol-3 (MNG-3) at the air/aqueous interface

Yoo, B.,Lee, J.,Choi, S.,Ryu, J.,Lee, H.,Chae, P.S.,Lee, S.U.,Maeda, M.,Sohn, D. Elsevier 2015 Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engi Vol.484 No.-

<P>Integral membrane proteins (IMPS) performing a variety of cell functions comprise a significant fraction of the proteins encoded in an organism's genome. Maltose-neopentyl glycol-3 (MNG-3) was invented as a novel detergent to extract IMPs from the cell membranes; MNG-3 has an inherent flexibility originating from its central carbon and its arms comprising alkyl chains and maltose groups. Herein, we demonstrate the reverse-scissoring behavior of MNG-3 through the use of different subphase conditions at the air/water interface. The origin of its high performance was investigated by means of Langmuir techniques, X-ray reflectivity (XRR) analysis of its Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) film, Brewster angle microscope (BAM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) and computational simulation.

Structural and thermal properties of boron nanoparticles synthesized from B₂O₃+3Mg+kNaCl mixture

Yoo, B.U.,Nersisyan, H.H.,Ryu, H.Y.,Lee, J.S.,Lee, J.H. Elsevier [etc.] 2014 Combustion and Flame Vol.161 No.12

Amorphous boron nanoparticles were synthesized by heating a B<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>+3Mg+kNaCl (k is the number of moles of NaCl) exothermic mixture in a laboratory oven at 800<SUP>o</SUP>C under argon flow. NaCl was used as inert material to decrease the maximum combustion temperature of the reaction mixture when it was self-ignited after the melting of Mg at 650<SUP>o</SUP>C. The size of the boron nanoparticles extracted from the final product by acid leaching ranged between 30 and 300nm for k values ranging from 1 to 5. Moreover, increasing the value of k from 1 to 5 resulted in an increase in the specific surface area of the nanoparticles from 40 to 74m<SUP>2</SUP>g<SUP>-1</SUP>. However, at k=10, a decrease in the specific surface area to 47.56m<SUP>2</SUP>g<SUP>-1</SUP> was recorded due to incomplete reduction of B<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>. The ignition point of boron nanoparticles in air as estimated using a thermocouple was approximately 300<SUP>o</SUP>C. Digital camera recording of the combustion process of boron nanoparticles in air revealed that the burning speed of the nanoparticles increased significantly from 0.3 to 15cm/s when k increased from 1 to 5.

Effect of Si interlayer thickness and post-metallization annealing on Ge MOS capacitor on Ge-on-Si substrate

Yoo, O.S.,Oh, J.,Kang, C.Y.,Lee, B.H.,Han, I.S.,Choi, W.H.,Kwon, H.M.,Na, M.K.,Majhi, P.,Tseng, H.H.,Jammy, R.,Wang, J.S.,Lee, H.D. Elsevier Sequoia 2008 Materials science & engineering. B, Advanced funct Vol.154 No.-

We demonstrated the effect of post-metallization annealing and Si interlayer thickness on Ge MOS capacitor on Ge-on-Si substrate with HfO<SUB>2</SUB>/TaN. Ge outdiffusion and oxygen interdiffusion were completely suppressed by thick Si interfacial layer. As a result, formation of insufficient low-k Ge oxides was effectively inhibited. It is confirmed that gate current of Si passivated Ge MOS was decreased by Si IL and decrease of gate current, J<SUB>g</SUB> is saturated after Si IL of 2nm. It was also observed that when Si IL is thick enough to restrict Ge outdiffusion, increase of J<SUB>g</SUB> is not due to the temperature-induced Ge outdiffusion but due to the partial crystallization of HfO<SUB>2</SUB> at higher annealing temperature.
