The band structure of Mg2Si1−xSnx solid solutions with 0.250 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.875 is calculated using the first-principles pseudopotential method. It is found that the low-lying light and heavy conduction bands converge and the effective mass reaches a maximum value near x = 0.625. Using the semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory and relaxation-time approximation, we find that the system with x = 0.625 exhibits both higher Seebeck coefficient and higher electrical conductivity than other solid solutions at intermediate temperatures. By fitting first-principles total energy calculations, a modified Morse potential is constructed, which is used to predicate the lattice thermal conductivity via equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. Due to relatively higher power factor and lower thermal conductivity, the Mg2Si0.375Sn0.625 is found to exhibit enhanced thermoelectric performance at 800 K, and additional Sb doping is considered in order to make a better comparison with experiment results.

High purity anatase nano-TiO2 powders with high photocatalytic activity were prepared by a hydrothermal synthesis method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission transmission electron microscopy (FETEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) light absorption spectrum and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum were adopted to characterize the catalyst. Effects of temperature, time and sol concentration of hydrothermal synthesis on particle size and phases were investigated. Photocatalytic activities in the degradation of Rhodamine B Dye were studied. The experimental results indicated that photocatalytic activity of the nano-TiO2 powers was much higher than that of P25 (Degussa).

Effects of Al2O3 and Ni as the additives on the sinterability, microstructure and mechanical properties were systematic studied. The experimental results show that only a relative density about 96.2% of hot-pressing TiB2-30%Al2O3 can be attained due to the plate-like TiB2 particle and its random orientation and excessive Al2O3 grain growth. When sintering temperature is higher than 1 700 ℃, TiB2 grain growth can be found, which obvious improves flexural strength of TiB2 matrix but decreases toughness. It seems that mechanical properties of TiB2-Al2O3 composites are mainly depended on relative density besides grain growth. otherwise, they will be determined by relative density and TiB2 matrix strength together. Anyway, Al2O3 addition can weaken the grain boundary and thus improve the toughness of the materials. A flexural strength of 529 MPa, Vickers hardness of 24.8 GPa and indentation toughness of 4.56 MPa·m1/2 can be achieved inTiB2-30vol% Al2O3.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/TiO2/C60 composite catalysts were prepared by hydrothermal method. TiO2 was deposited on the MWCNT surface. Their photocatalytic activities for degradation of Rhodamine B dye were studied. X-ray diffraction, field emission transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible light absorption spectrum and photoluminescence spectrum were carried out to characterize the composite catalysts. The results indicated that MWCNTs and C60 could greatly enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2.

Dominant heat-carrying modes in skutterudites are associated with vibrations of the pnicogen rings. Apart from filling the structural cages with foreign species, disrupting the pnicogen ring structure by substitutional alloying should be an effective approach to reduce thermal conductivity. In this paper we explore alloying configurations of pnicogen rings (Sb rings in the case of CoSb3) that yield particularly low values of the thermal conductivity. We find that IV-VI double substitution (replacing two Sb atoms with one atom each from the column IV and column VI elements to achieve an average charge of two Sb atoms) is a very effective approach. Our ab initio calculations, in combination with a cluster expansion, have allowed us to identify stable alloy configurations on the Sb rings. Subsequent molecular and lattice dynamics simulations on low energy configurations establish the range of atomic displacement parameters and values of the thermal conductivity. Theoretical results are in good agreement with our experimental thermal conductivity values. Combining both approaches of compensated double substitution and filling of structural cages should be an effective way of improving the thermoelectric figure of merit of skutterudites.

Anchored periplasmic expression (APEx) technology aims to express and localize proteins or peptides in the Escherichia coli periplasm. Some reports have suggested that transmembrane segments of integral membrane proteins can be used as membrane anchors in the APEx system. In this study, a series of hydrophobic anchors derived from the first putative transmembrane helix of a Bacillus subtilis integral membrane protein, MrpF, and its truncated forms were investigated for anchored periplasmic expression of alkaline phosphatase (PhoA) in E. coli. Anchoring efficiency of hydrophobic anchors was evaluated by monitoring the expression and activity of anchored PhoA. The length of hydrophobic anchors was found to be critical for anchoring proteins to cell membranes. This study may open new avenues for applying transmembrane segments derived from native membrane proteins as membrane anchors in the APEx system.
