Metal-N-C (MNC) catalysts have been anticipated as promising candidates for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to achieve low-cost polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. The structure of the M-N_x moiety enabled a high catalytic activity that was not observed in previously reported transition metal nanoparticle-based catalysts. Despite progress in non-precious metal catalysts, the low density of active sites of MNCs, which resulted in lower single-cell performance than Pt/C, needs to be resolved for practical application. This review focused on the recent studies and methodologies aimed to overcome these limitations and develop an inexpensive catalyst with excellent activity and durability in an alkaline environment. It included the possibility of non-precious metals as active materials for ORR catalysts, starting from Co phthalocyanine as ORR catalyst and the development of methodologies (e.g., metal-coordinated N-containing polymers, metal-organic frameworks) to form active sites, M-N_x moieties. Thereafter, the motivation, procedures, and progress of the latest research on the design of catalyst morphology for improved mass transport ability and active site engineering that allowed the promoted ORR kinetics were discussed.

탄소섬유 복합재료의 층간전단 강도의 손상없이 충격강도를 향상시키기 위하여 반응성을 가진 유연한 고분자 물질 (MVEMA(poly(methyl vinyl ether-co-maleic anhydride)) 및 EMA (poly(ethylene-co-maleic anhydride)) 전착을 이용하여 탄소섬유와 에폭시 기지재료 사이에 계면상으로 도입하는 방법을 고려하였다. 따라서 계면상 물질의 MVEMA 및 EMA의 탄소섬유에의 전착수율에 대한 공정변수의 영향을 체계적으로 평가하였다. 염기성 수용액상에서 anhydride기를 가진 고분자의 전착 메카니즘은 -OH기의 공격에 의한 $RCOO^-$기의 생성에 기인함을 적외선 분광분석으로 확인하였다. 농도, 전류밀도, 반응시간의 증가에 따라 전착수율이 증가하였으며, 과도한 산소 버블의 발생은 전착된 고분자를 탈착시켜 수율을 감소시켰다. 흐르는 물에서 세척을 할 경우 탄소섬유와의 결합력이 없는 전착고분자는 쉽게 제거되어 0.5 wt% 정도의 전착 고분자만 잔류하였다.

EVA의 기체 분리 성질에 미치는 LDH의 영향을 알아보았다. Mg-Al LDH/EVA 나노복합막은 유기적으로 수정된 DS-LDH를 이용하여 용액 삽입법으로 제조되었다. DS-LDH는 LDH 층간에 DS 음이온을 삽입하여 제조하였다. 나노복합막의 구조는 XRD, FT-IR, SEM으로 알아보았다. DS-LDH가 EVA 내에 무질서하게 분산되었음을 XRD로부터 확인하였다. LDH가 3 wt% 첨가된 나노복합막에서 인장강도와 파단신율 모두 최댓값을 나타내었다. 열적 안정도 역시 EVA에 LDH가 첨가되면서 향상되었다. 1, 3, 5 wt%의 LDH를 함유한 LDH/EVA 나노복합막의 기체투과도는 $O_2$와 $CO_2$에 대하여 측정하였다. 3 wt% LDH를 함유한 경우 나노복합막의 $O_2$에 대한 투과도가 EVA막에서보다 53% 감소하였다. 하지만 $CO_2$ 투과도는 나노복합막의 기체 차단 특성에도 불구하고 LDH 내의 OH기와 $CO_2$ 간의 높은 친화력으로 인하여 기체투과도는 증가하였다.

Cyclopentadecanone(2)으로부터 2-cyclopentadecen-1-one(4)까지의 일반적인 합성경로는 여러가지가 있을 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 우선 $C_2$-위치의 선택적인 브롬화반응을 위하여 $AlCl_3$를 써서 엔올산 염화하여 위치선택성을 증가시켰으며, 브롬화 수소 이탈반응에서의 시약 $Li_2CO_3$-LiBr-DMF 조건을 적절히 조절함으로써 화합물(4)를 쉽게 얻을 수 있었다. 이 과정에서 생기는 트랜스형 및 시스형 화합물(4)를 E.Ether 용매속에서 $CH_3MgI-Cu_2Cl_2$ 복합체에 적하하여 반응시킬 경우, 모두 1,4-첨가반응되어 dl-Muscone(1)를 생성함을 결과로 얻었다. 본 실험에서 Cyclopentadecanone(2)으로부터 dl-Muscone(1)까지의 3단계 과정을 통해 순수한 dl-Muscone(1)을 총 85%의 높은 수율로 얻었으며, 별다른 화학적 분리단계를 거치지 않아, 합성단가를 기존의 어느 방법보다 현격히 낮출수 있었다.

A novel stick-shaped portable sensing device featuring a microhole array interface between the polyvinylchloride-2-nitrophenyloctylether (PVC-NPOE) gel and water phase was developed for in-situ sensing of perchlorate ions in real water samples. Perchlorate sensitive sensing responses were obtained based on measuring the current changes with respect to the assisted transfer reaction of perchlorate ions by a perchlorate selective ligand namely, bis(dibenzoylmethanato)Ni(II) (Ni(DBM)2) across the polarized microhole array interface. Cyclic voltammetry was used to characterize the assisted transfer reaction of perchlorate ions by the $Ni(DBM)_2$ ligand when using the portable sensing device. The current response for the transfer of perchlorate anions by $Ni(DBM)_2$ across the micro-water/gel interface linearly increased as a function of the perchlorate ion concentration. The technique of differential pulse stripping voltammetry was also utilized to improve the sensitivity of the perchlorate anion detection down to 10 ppb. This was acquired by preconcentrating perchlorate anions in the gel layer by means of holding the ion transfer potential at 0 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl) for 30 s followed by stripping the complexed perchlorate ion with the ligand. The effect of various potential interfering anions on the perchlorate sensor was also investigated and showed an excellent selectivity over $Br^-$, $NO_2{^-}$, $NO_3{^-}$, $CO{_3}^{2^-}$, $CH_3COO^-$ and $SO{_4}^{2^-}$ ions. As a final demonstration, some regional water samples from the Sincheon river in Daegu city were analyzed and the data was verified with that of ion chromatography (IC) analysis from one of the Korean-certified water quality evaluation centers.

혼합용액에서 nitrate 이온을 선택적으로 제거하기 위해 복합탄소전극을 제조하였다. 질산이온 선택성 수지(BHP55, Bonlite Co.) 분말을 탄소전극 표면에 코팅하여 전극을 제조하였다. 제조한 전극으로 BHP55 셀을 제작하여 chloride, nitrate, sulfate 이온이 혼합된 용액에 대해 축전식 탈염 실험을 수행하였다. 그리고 BHP55 셀에서의 질산 이온 제거량을 이온교환막을 결합한 MCDI 셀의 결과와 비교하였다. BHP55 셀에서 이온의 총 흡착량은 MCDI 셀에서 보다 31% 증가한 $38.3meq/m^2$를 나타냈다. 또한 BHP55 셀에서 질산 이온의 흡착량은 $15.9meq/m^2$ (전체 흡착량의 42%)이었고, 이는 MCDI 셀에서 보다 2.1배 큰 것으로 나타났다. 실험결과 제조한 복합탄소전극은 음이온 혼합용액에서 질산 이온을 선택적으로 제거하는데 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

Solubilities of carbon dioxide (C$O_2$) in a series of fluorine-free room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), dialkylimidazolium dialkylphosphates and dialkylimidazolium alkylphosphites, were measured at 313∼333 K and pressures up to 5 MPa. Henry’s law coefficients as the solubility parameter of C$O_2$ in RTILs were derived from the isotherm of fugacity versus C$O_2$ mole fraction. The C$O_2$ solubility in a phosphorus-containing RTIL was found to increase with the increasing molar volume of the RTIL. In general, dialkylimidazolium dialkylphosphate exhibited higher absorption capacity than dialkylimidazolium alkylphosphite as long as the RTILs possess an identical cation. Among RTILs tested, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dibutylphosphate [BMIM][B$u_2PO_4$] and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium butylphosphite [BMIM][BuHP$O_3$] exhibited similar Henry’s law coefficients to 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([BMIM][T$f_2$N]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][B$F_4$]), respectively. The Krichevsky-Kasarnovsky equation was employed to derive the C$O_2$ solubility parameter (Henry’s law coefficient) from the solubility data measured at elevated pressures.

Ponciri fructus, the unripe fruits of Poncirus trifoliata, are widely used in oriental traditional medicine as a remedy for inflammation, gastritis, emesis, digestive ulcers, allergy, and dysentery. To study the anti-wrinkle effects of Ponciri fructus extract (PFE) containing flavanone glycosides, PFE was fermented with Ganoderma lucidum mycelia and its biological activities were investigated. In Ponciri fructus extracts fermented with G. lucidum (G-PFE), polyphenol content was $1,021.00{\pm}0.50{\mu}g/mL$ and flavonoid content was $589.41{\pm}0.21{\mu}g/mL$. G-PFE was found to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals and superoxide anion radical by a dose dependent manner, respectively. G-PFE showed higher antioxidant activity than that of PFE. In addition, the photoprotective properties of G-PFE was tested in human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) exposed to UVA radiation. G-PFE inhibited the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and showed a dose dependent decrease in the expression level of MMP-1. G-PFE also increased collagen biosynthesis in HDF. These results demonstrate that G-PFE could be useful as a potential cosmetic ingredient for anti-wrinkle.

Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is the predominant type of colorectal cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve the prognosis of COAD patients. Anoctamin 7 (ANO7), an anion channel protein, has been implicated in prostate cancer and other types of cancer. In this study, we analyzed the expression of ANO7 and its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics among COAD patients using the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2 (GEPIA2) and the University of Alabama at Birmingham CANcer (UALCAN) databases. The GEPIA2, Kaplan-Meier plotter, and the Survival Genie platform were employed for survival analysis. The co-expression network and potential function of ANO7 in COAD were analyzed using GeneFriends, the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID), GeneMANIA, and Pathway Studio. Our data analysis revealed a significant reduction in ANO7 expression levels within COAD tissues compared to normal tissues. Additionally, ANO7 expression was found to be associated with race and histological subtype. The COAD patients exhibiting low ANO7 expression had lower survival rates compared to those with high ANO7 expression. The genes correlated with ANO7 were significantly enriched in proteolysis and mucin type O-glycan biosynthesis pathway. Furthermore, ANO7 demonstrated a direct interaction and a positive co-expression correlation with mucin 2 (MUC2). In conclusion, our findings suggest that ANO7 might serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and potentially plays a role in proteolysis and mucin biosynthesis in the context of COAD.
