The effect of Ce promotion over 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts on the CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity was investigated in preferential CO oxidation (PrOx) to reduce the CO concentration less than 10 ppm in excess $H_2$ stream for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and the loading amount of Pt was fixed at 1wt%. The content of Ce promoter which has excellent oxygen storage and transfer capability due to the redox property was adjusted from 0 to 1.5wt%. Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts exhibit high CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ due to the improvement of reducibility of surface PtOx species compared with the 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst without Ce addition. When Ce content was more than 1wt%, the catalytic activity was decreased at over $160^{\circ}C$ in PrOx because of competitive $H_2$ oxidation. As a result, 0.5wt% Ce is optimal content not only to achieve high catalytic activity and good stability at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ in the presence of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ but also to minimize the $H_2$ oxidation at high temperatures.

Background: Cancers have dysfunctional redox regulation resulting in production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), damaging DNA, RNA and free NTPs, and causing the accumulation of oxidative nucleic acids in cytoplasm. The major types are 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine(8-oxoGsn) in RNA and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2' deoxyguanosine(8-oxodGsn) in Mt-DNA. The MTH1 protein sanitizes oxidized nucleotide pools from NTPs to monophosphates, preventing the occurrence of transversion mutations. This study concerned cytoplasmic 8-oxodGsn/Gsn and MTH1 expression in gastric cancer and para-cancer tissues and elucidated roles of nucleic-acid oxidation and anti-oxidation. Materials and Methods: A polymer HRP detection system was used to detect 8-oxo-Gsn/dGsn and MTH1 expression in 51 gastric cancer and para-cancer tissue samples. Analyses of patient clinical and pathological data were also performed. Results: The expression of MTH1 and the 8-oxo-dGsn/Gsn ratio were significantly higher in cancer tissues than para-cancer tissues (P<0.05). Cytoplasmic 8-oxo-Gsn and MTH1 were both found to positively correlate (P<0.05) with tumor differentiation, while no significant associations were found with gender, age, invasion depth, lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (P>0.05). Conclusions: We found 8-oxo-dGsn/Gsn and MTH1 are both highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues, especially in well differentiated lesions. In addition, oxidated mtDNA is prevalently expressed in gastric cancers, while 8-oxo-Gsn expression in cytoplasmic RNA is a bit lower, but more selectively.

Transition metal compounds (TMCs) are being researched as promising electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage devices (supercapacitors). Among TMCs, transition metal phosphates (TMPs) have good, layered structures owing to open framework and protonic exchange capability among different layers, good surface area due to engrossed porosity, rich active redox reaction sites owing to octahedral structure and variable valance metallic ions. Hence TMPs become more ideal for supercapacitor electrode materials compared to other TMCs. However, TMPs have got some issues like low conductivity, rate performance, stability, energy, and power densities. But these problems can be addressed by making their composites with carbonaceous materials, e.g., carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene oxide (GO), graphitic carbon (GC), etc. A few factors like high surface area, excellent electrical conductivity of carbon materials and variable valence metal ions in TMPs caused great enhancement in their electrochemical performance. This article tries to discuss and compare the published data, majorly in last decade, regarding the electrochemical energy storage potential of pristine unary, binary, and ternary TMPs and their hybrid composites with carbonaceous materials (CNTs, GOs/rGOs, GC, etc.). The electrochemical performance of the hybrids has been reported to be higher than the pristine counterparts. It is hoped that the current review will open a new gateway to study and explore the high performance TMPs based supercapacitor materials.

Dimethylformamide를 공통용매로 하여 $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$와 polysulfone를 동시에 녹여 분리막 형태의 $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$-polysulfone 필름을 제조하였다. SEM 및 EDX 분석 결과 필름 촉매상에서 $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$는 매우 고른 상태로 잘 분산되어 있음을 확인되었다. ESCA 분석결과에 의하면 Mo의 산화상태에는 변화가 없었다. 에탄을 전환반응에서 $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$-polysulfone 필름 촉매는 $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$보다 낮은 산반응특성과 높은 산화반응 특성을 보였으며, 산화반응의 활성은 약 10배 정도 크게 나타났다. 산 특성의 감소는 $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$의 산점과 강하게 결합된 dimethylformamide에 기인하여, 산화특성의 증가는 촉매의 고른 분산에 기인하였다. 흡착실험 결과 블랜딩 후 $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$의 표면 특성은 크게 증가하였으나 내부 특성은 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 헤테로폴리산을 고분자와 블랜딩시킬 경우 헤테로폴리산이 지니는 산 및 산화환원 특성의 제어는 물론 촉매의 표면 및 내부 특성 제어가 가능할 것으로 여겨진다.

무효소 혈당센서는 높은 선택성과 민감성을 가지고 저비용으로 체내 혈당(glucose)을 검출할 수차세대 기술이다. 현재 시판되고 있는 혈당센서는 당을 산화시켜주는 당산화효소와 전극과 효소사이에 전자 전달을 원활하게 해주는 산화/환원 매개체를 이용하여 효소센서로 제작된다. 그러나 이러한 효소센서는 pH, 온도, 습도, 화학적 독성물질 등에 영향을 많이 받아 안정성이 떨어지고, 제작에 비용이 많이 드는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 위와 같은 단점을 해결하고자 환원제인 당에 의하여 환원되는 니켈 나노입자를 전기화학적 흡착방법을 이용하여 산화 인듐 주석 전극 (ITO)에 고정시켰다. 고정된 니켈 나노입자는 전극의 표면적을 넓혀 신호를 증폭시키는 효과를 가지고 있으며, 당에 의하여 계속적으로 니켈이 환원됨에 따라 전극 반응에서는 촉매산화전류 반응으로 나타낸다. 당의 농도에 따라서 선형적으로 감응 할 수 있는 최적 조건의 니켈 나노입자를 이용하여 혈당센서를 제작하였다. 또한 체내에 존재하는 방해 인자인 아스코브산의 간섭을 억제하기 위해 음이온 고분자의 표면처리를 통하여 상대적으로 당에 선택적으로 감응하도록 하였다. 제작된 전극을 통하여 당 농도 별 산화 촉매 전류를 순환 전압 전류 법으로 측정한 결과 650 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl)에서 최대 전기적 신호가 발생되었으며, 포도당 0~6.15 mM 의 농도범위에서 전기적 신호가 선형 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.
