摘要:Organic-inorganic hybrid materials overcome the limitations of single materials via the synergistic effect of organic and inorganic constituents, achieving high performance and multi-functionality. However, there are still challenges during preparation of organic-inorganic hybrid materials, such as non-uniform distribution of components, reduced porosity, and poor interfacial compatibility. Radiation-induced synthesis provides an effective way to address these challenges by tuning energy transfer and reaction pathways. This review summarizes recent advancements in radiation-induced synthesis techniques for organic-inorganic hybrid materials. The direct method employs radiation sources (e.g., γ-rays and electron beams) to generate reactive species (radicals and ions), facilitating the recombination of chemical bonds and allowing rapid synthesis under ambient conditions. Representative examples include the eco-friendly synthesis of Ag/PVA hybrid hydrogels and the enhancement of the photocatalytic performance by ZIF-8@ZnO heterostructures. The indirect method introduce functional groups (e.g., carboxyl and amino groups) onto organic substrates by radiation grafting, promoting in situ growth of inorganic components and solving the problem of interfacial compatibility, as demonstrated in metal-organic framework (MOF)-immobilized nylon fabrics and (222)-oriented NH₂-ZIF-8@HF gas separation membranes. Hybrid materials prepared by radiation induced method exhibit exceptional performance across diverse fields, including catalysis (e.g., the degradation rate of nitroaromatics has been enhanced by nearly 100-fold), separation (oil-water separation flux reaches 16.6 L/(m2·h·kPa)), electrochemistry (the durability of flexible sensors has been improved), and mechanical properties (the strength of CNT composites has been enhanced to 1.89 GPa/(g·cm-3)). This technique provides new ideas for the design and large-scale preparation of high-performance hybrid materials.
摘要:With the advancement of nuclear engineering applications, increasingly stringent requirements have been imposed on the performance of neutron-absorbing materials. This article systematically reviews recent research progress in neutron-absorbing materials for nuclear facilities, with a focus on the design, performance optimization, and engineering applications of boron-containing metal-matrix composites (MMCs) and ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs), while briefly introducing other neutron absorbers. Boron-containing metallic materials, such as boron steels and boron-aluminum alloys, exhibit favorable processability and mechanical strength but suffer from challenges including boron segregation and irradiation-induced embrittlement. These limitations can be significantly mitigated through microalloying and optimized thermo-mechanical processing. In contrast, ceramic-based materials, particularly boron carbide (B4C), demonstrate exceptional neutron absorption capacity and thermal stability. However, their intrinsic brittleness and irradiation-induced amorphization necessitate strategies such as incorporating a toughening phase and engineering interfaces. Additionally, novel design of materials, including high-entropy alloys, offer promising pathways for enhancing irradiation resistance and multifunctional integration. Despite these advances, critical challenges persist, including the efficiency of fast neutron absorption, mechanical properties, long-term irradiation stability, and the development of precision manufacturing techniques. Future research directions encompass the optimization of multicomponent composite systems, artificial intelligence-assisted material design, and the integration of advanced fabrication technologies. This review aims to provide theoretical insights for the safe and efficient utilization of nuclear energy while fostering continued innovation in neutron-absorbing material technologies.
摘要:This study employs a γ-radiation-induced synthesis method to prepare zinc oxide (ZnO) and metal-doped ZnO (M-ZnO, M = Mg/Li/Al/Ga/Ni/Fe) nanomaterials for enhancing the performance of electron transport layers (ETLs) in optoelectronic devices. Using a 60Co irradiation facility (dose rate: 6.25 kGy/h), precursor solutions were irradiated at doses of 40-200 kGy to achieve low-temperature, high-efficiency crystallization. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope characterization revealed that a 150 kGy dose optimized ZnO grain size and crystallinity, forming rod-like structures, with UV-vis absorption spectra indicating a bandgap of 3.03 eV. Doping experiments demonstrated that Ni/Al/Ga enhanced fluorescence intensity (400-450 nm), while Fe/Li doping significantly reduced current density in single-layer ETL devices (J-V curve tests) while maintaining >70% visible-light transmittance. Compared to traditional sol-gel methods, γ-irradiated ZnO exhibited a lower bandgap (2.90-3.19 eV) without high-temperature treatment. Device performance validation confirmed that Fe/Li-doped ZnO effectively balanced carrier transport and defect suppression, offering a green synthesis strategy for ETL design in quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) and perovskite solar cells.

摘要:This study proposes a new synthesis process for 18F-AlF-NOTA-octreotide based on digital microfluidic chip technology. Through electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) technology, parallel multi-channel synthesis was achieved on the microfluidic chip, effectively addressing issues such as technical complexity, high costs, low production efficiency, and concerns related to safety and environmental protection in conventional synthesis methods. Under the optimized reaction conditions (reaction temperature of 120 °C, reaction time of 5 min, precursor concentration of 0.2 mg/mL), the highest radiochemical yield reached 24.85%, and the radiochemical purity of the product was greater than 99.0%. This method significantly reduced initial equipment investment (by 50%-60%) and the cost per synthesis (by 71%-72%), while also shortening the synthesis time to 15-20 min and reducing radioactive waste generation. This process offers an efficient, low-cost, and environmentally friendly new strategy for the synthesis of clinical PET tracers.
摘要:To establish and compare the dose-effect curves of human lymphocyte micronucleus induced by 60Co γ rays at two dose rates. Blood samples in vitro were irradiated with 60Co γ rays at dose rates of 0.318 9 Gy/min and 0.635 0 Gy/min, with absorbed doses of 0 Gy, 0.25 Gy, 0.50 Gy, 0.75 Gy, 1 Gy, 2 Gy, 3 Gy, 4 Gy, and 5 Gy. Lymphocyte cultures were performed using the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) method. Then the micronucleus (MN) rate and micronucleus cell (MN cell) rate were analyzed and calculated to fit the dose-effect curve. The results showed that under both dose rates, the MN rates increased with increasing absorbed dose, and the fitted dose-effect curves conformed to the quadratic polynomial model. The increase in the MN rate with the absorbed dose at the dose rate of 0.635 0 Gy/min was greater than that at 0.318 9 Gy/min. The results above indicate that the micronuclear dose-effect curves at two dose rates were successfully established, providing technical support and a theoretical basis for more accurate biological dose estimation and study on the biological effects.
摘要:In this study, the effects of desalination, irradiation, and organic-acid catalysis on the hydrothermal preparation of xylo-oligosaccharides from the byproducts of Yuanjiang Miscanthus lutarioriparius shoot shells were investigated. The conversion rate of xylo-oligosaccharides was used as an evaluation index, thrice soaked desalination of Yuanjiang Miscanthus lutarioriparius shoot shell were used as materials, and the acetic-acid concentration (v/v), absorbed dose, hydrothermal temperature, and time were selected as influencing factors. A four-factor, three-level orthogonal experiment was performed to optimize the preparation process of xylo-oligosaccharides. The results showed that the salt content reduced to 1.48%, whereas the xylan content increased to 17.34% after soaked desalinization thrice of Yuanjiang Miscanthus lutarioriparius shoot shells. The conversion rate of xylo-oligosaccharides reached 55.18% after hydrothermal treatment at 180 ℃ for 30 min. The optimum conditions for preparing xylo-oligosaccharides were as follows: acetic-acid concentration, 0.2% (v/v); absorbed dose, 200 kGy; hydrothermal treatment temperature and time, 160 ℃/30 min. Under these conditions, the conversion rate and mass concentration of xylo-oligosaccharides were 65.88% and 11.53 g/L, respectively.

摘要:The rapid advancement of the global automotive industry has heightened concerns regarding electromagnetic safety issues induced by lightning electromagnetic pulses (LEMP). This study utilizes COMSOL Multiphysics finite element simulation software to develop a numerical model that incorporates lightning channels, a driver, and a car, with a specific focus on electromagnetic exposure levels at varying distances. The results show that when the distance (ds) from the lightning strike origin point to the car is 11.8 m, the peak magnetic flux density (B) and induced electric field (E) in the driver’s body reach 16.3 μT and 0.329 V/m, respectively, representing 60.37% and 48.74% of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) public exposure limits. In the midsagittal plane of head tissues, peak B and E values measure 14.8 μT and 0.431 V/m, corresponding to 54.81% and 63.87% of ICNIRP limits. Compared to metallic materials (steel and aluminum alloy), non-metallic materials (carbon fiber) exhibit higher magnetic field permeability, with aluminum alloy shells demonstrating superior transient magnetic field shielding effectiveness versus steel shells. The distance (ds) significantly influences electromagnetic dosage: increased distance from the lightning channel radiation source yields greater safety margins for B in head tissues, with 8 m identified as the critical safety distance. Optimal material selection proves crucial for mitigating driver electromagnetic exposure, and maintaining safe distances under LEMP conditions prevents health risks to drivers. These findings provide theoretical foundations for car electromagnetic protection design.

摘要:This study aims to prepare plastic scintillating fibers (PSF) with excellent radiation dose response and radiation stability, as well as novel scintillating fiber arrays with outstanding X-ray imaging performance and multifunctional characteristics. Rare earth complexes and organic compounds were used as dopants, and the Teflon method was adopted to prepare red, green, and blue plastic scintillating fibers (marked as PSF-R, PSF-G, and PSF-B, respectively). By regulating the arrangement and geometric structure of the three-color plastic scintillating fibers, various types of plastic scintillating fiber arrays were prepared. PSF-R, PSF-G, and PSF-B all exhibit excellent radiation response characteristics, with dose detection limits of 0.555 μGy/s, 2.775 μGy/s, and 2.22 μGy/s, respectively—all of which are lower than the standard dose for X-ray diagnosis (5.5 μGy/s). The prepared fiber arrays can effectively perform X-ray imaging on millimeter-scale objects. The plastic scintillating fibers and fiber arrays prepared in this study have significant application potential in the field of low-dose X-ray detection and imaging.
摘要:During the operation of nuclear power plants, various radiation source terms are generated, primarily fission products and activated corrosion products, which significantly influence the radiation field within the plant. After controlling 58Co and 60Co,110mAg has emerged as the primary contributor to the radiation field following the shutdown of certain nuclear power plants. As a high-radiation nuclide, 110mAg plays a significant role in the radiation field, accounting for 10%-15% of the collective dose. This paper analyzes the radiation impact and morphological changes of 110mAg. By examining its variation trend of 110mAg during the shutdown period of water-water high-energy reactor(VVER)-type units, concluded that the morphology of 110mAg began to transform into an ionic state and is released in large quantities after nitrogen purging and unsealing of the primary circuit. At this stage, a new purification process was proposed and implemented. This process does not rely on the operation of the main pump but instead integrates multiple auxiliary systems to effectively control the 110mAg source term, significantly reducing its impact. Consequently, the purification efficiency of 110mAg in the primary circuit reached 91.6%, the reactor building’s radiation index decreased by 40%-60%, and the collective dose during major overhauls was reduced by approximately 50 man·mSv. These findings offer a valuable reference for similar nuclear units.

摘要:With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology, the pace of research, development, and iteration in devices and sensors has significantly accelerated. Accordingly, the market demand for flexible circuits has become increasingly diversified, emphasizing the need for shorter preparation cycles and expanding the requirement for small-batch, customized flexible circuits. This study proposes a novel method for fabricating flexible circuits based on ultraviolet (UV) curing technology. Specifically, circuit patterns were successfully constructed on flexible film and fabric substrates through directed UV curing, and flexible circuits were fabricated using Ag/Fe₃O₄-catalyzed electroless copper plating to address these challenges. This method operates under mild conditions (45 ℃), without the need for high-temperature sintering or complex equipment. Experimental results demonstrate that the flexible circuits on both substrates exhibit excellent conductivity, mechanical durability, and environmental stability. The film-based flexible circuits showed a resistance change of ≤14.6% after 5 000 rubbing cycles, while the fabric-based circuits exhibited a 17.6% change after 2 000 cycles. The proposed approach also offers reparability and compatibility with heat-sensitive substrates, providing a new strategy for low-cost and efficient manufacturing of flexible circuits.
摘要:2,9-Diamide-1,10-phenanthroline (DAPhen) exhibits excellent capability of group separation for actinides. Elucidating the radiolysis mechanism of DAPhen is of great significance for its structural optimization and practical application. The radiolysis mechanisms of three kinds of DAPhen in 1-octanol were studied by pulse radiolysis, of which the results demonstrated that reductive degradation predominated the DAPhen radiolysis in 1-octanol. DAPhen had high reactivities with both solvated electrons (esol-) and α-hydroxyoctyl radicals. Rate constants between esol- and N,N'-dioctyl-N,N'-dioctyl-2,9-diamide-1,10-phenanthroline (OOD), N,N'-diethyl-N,N'-diethyl-2,9-diamide-1,10-phenanthroline (EED) and N,N'-diethyl-N,N'-ditolyl-2,9-diamide-1,10-phenanthroline (ETD) were approximately 2.3×109 L/(mol·s), 1.9×109 L/(mol·s), and 1.5×109 L/(mol·s), respectively. Those of α-hydroxyoctyl radicals with OOD, EED and ETD were about 2.1×108 L/(mol·s), 1.1×108 L/(mol·s), and 2.7×108 L/(mol·s), respectively. Solvated electrons and α-hydroxyoctyl radicals were the primary reductive species inducing DAPhen radiolysis. Further studies showed that in N2O saturated 1-octanol equilibrated by HNO3, reductive species could be synergistically scavenged by N2O and HNO3. This work revealed the elementary reactions of DAPhen radiolysis and proposed a universal strategy to enhance radiation stability of DAPhen through suppressing elementary reactions. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for developing practical protection strategies for DAPhen in spent nuclear fuel reprocessing.
