Effects of the Surface Charge Density of Clay Minerals on Surface-Fixation Induced Emission of Acridinium Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Surface-fixation induced emission is a fluorescence enhancement phenomenon, which is expressed when dye molecules satisfy a specific adsorption condition on the anionic clay surface. The photophysical behaviors of two types of cationic acridinium derivatives [10-methylacridinium perchlorate (Acr⁺) and 10-methyl-9-phenylacridinium perchlorate (PhAcr⁺)] on the synthetic saponites with different anionic charge densities were investigated. Under the suitable conditions, the fluorescence quantum yield (Φ_f) of PhAcr⁺ was enhanced 22.3 times by the complex formation with saponite compared to that in water without saponite. As the inter-negative charge distance of saponite increased from 1.04 to 1.54 nm, the Φ_f of PhAcr⁺ increased 1.25 times. In addition, the increase in the negative charge distance caused the increase in the integral value of the extinction coefficient and the radiative deactivation rate constant (k _f) and the decrease in the nonradiative deactivation rate constant. It should be noted that the 2.3 times increase in k _f is the highest among the reported values for the effect of clay. From these results, it was concluded that the photophysical properties of dyes can be modulated by changing the charge density of clay minerals.

Charge-Dependent Regulation in DNA Adsorption on 2D Clay Minerals.

Project description:DNA purification is essential for the detection of human clinical specimens. A non-destructive, controllable, and low reagent consuming DNA extraction method is described. Negatively charged DNA is absorbed onto a negatively charged montmorillonite to achieve non-destructive DNA extraction based on cation bridge construction and electric double layer formation. Different valence cation modified montmorillonite forms were used to validate the charge-dependent nature of DNA adsorption on montmorillonite. Electric double layer thickness thinning/thickening with the high/lower valence cations exists, and the minerals tended to be sedimentation-stable due to the Van der Waals attraction/electrostatic repulsion. Li-modified montmorillonite with the lowest charge states showed the best DNA adsorption efficiency of 8-10 ng/μg. Charge-dependent regulating research provides a new perspective for controllable DNA extraction and a deep analysis of interface engineering mechanisms.

Global distribution of clay-size minerals on land surface for biogeochemical and climatological studies.

Project description:Clay-size minerals play important roles in terrestrial biogeochemistry and atmospheric physics, but their data have been only partially compiled at global scale. We present a global dataset of clay-size minerals in the topsoil and subsoil at different spatial resolutions. The data of soil clay and its mineralogical composition were gathered through a literature survey and aggregated by soil orders of the Soil Taxonomy for each of the ten groups: gibbsite, kaolinite, illite/mica, smectite, vermiculite, chlorite, iron oxide, quartz, non-crystalline, and others. Using a global soil map, a global dataset of soil clay-size mineral distribution was developed at resolutions of 2' to 2° grid cells. The data uncertainty associated with data variability and assumption was evaluated using a Monte Carlo method, and validity of the clay-size mineral distribution obtained in this study was examined by comparing with other datasets. The global soil clay data offer spatially explicit studies on terrestrial biogeochemical cycles, dust emission to the atmosphere, and other interdisciplinary earth sciences.

Change in the site density and surface acidity of clay minerals by acid or alkali spills and its effect on pH buffering capacity.

Project description:Changes in the site density and surface acidity constants (i.e. pKa1 and pKa2) of kaolinite and montmorillonite were determined after acid or alkali spills, and pH buffering capacity was evaluated as a parameter of soil function change. Surface complexation modeling with potentiometric titrations and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that acid or alkali spills did not significantly change the surface properties of kaolinite. In montmorillonite, however, acid spills decreased the basal site density from 832 to 737?mmol?kg-1 by dissolving substituted octahedral cations and decreased pKa2 from 7.32 to 5.42 by dissolving SiOH. In response to alkali spills, the basal site density increased to 925?mmol?kg-1, and the edge site density increased from 84.8 to 253?mmol?kg-1 due to AlOH and SiOH formation; thus, pKa2 decreased to 6.78. The pH buffering capacity of acid- or alkali-spilled kaolinite at pH 6 did not significantly change, while that of acid- or alkali-spilled montmorillonite increased from 30.3 to 35.9 and 56.0?mmol?kg-1, respectively. Our results indicate that these spills greatly altered the surface properties of montmorillonite, but unexpectedly, increased the pH buffering capacity of montmorillonite.

Intercalation of trichloroethene by sediment-associated clay minerals.

Project description:The objective of this research was to examine the potential for intercalation of trichloroethene (TCE) by clay minerals associated with aquifer sediments. Sediment samples were collected from a field site in Tucson, AZ. Two widely used Montmorillonite specimen clays were employed as controls. X-ray diffraction, conducted with a controlled-environment chamber, was used to characterize smectite interlayer d-spacing for three treatments (bulk air-dry sample, sample mixed with synthetic groundwater, sample mixed with TCE-saturated synthetic groundwater). The results show that the d-spacing measured for the samples treated with TCE-saturated synthetic groundwater are larger (~26%) than those of the untreated samples for all field samples as well as the specimen clays. These results indicate that TCE was intercalated by the clay minerals, which may have contributed to the extensive elution tailing observed in prior miscible-displacement experiments conducted with this sediment.

Role of Cel5H protein surface amino acids in binding with clay minerals and measurements of its forces.

Project description:Our previous study on the binding activity between Cel5H and clay minerals showed highest binding efficiency among other cellulase enzymes cloned. Here, based on previous studies, we hypothesized that the positive amino acids on the surface of Cel5H protein may play an important role in binding to clay surfaces. To examine this, protein sequences of Bacillus licheniformis Cel5H (BlCel5H) and Paenibacillus polymyxa Cel5A (PpCel5A) were analyzed and then selected amino acids were mutated. These mutated proteins were investigated for binding activity and force measurement via atomic force microscopy (AFM). A total of seven amino acids which are only present in BlCel5H but not in PpCel5A were selected for mutational studies and the positive residues which are present in both were omitted. Of the seven selected surface lysine residues, only three mutants K196A(M2), K54A(M3) and K157T(M4) showed 12%, 7% and 8% less clay mineral binding ability, respectively compared with wild-type. The probable reason why other mutants did not show altered binding efficiency might be due to relative location of amino acids on the protein surface. Meanwhile, measurement of adhesion forces on mica sheets showed a well-defined maximum at 69 ± 19 pN for wild-type, 58 ± 19 pN for M2, 53 ± 19 pN for M3, and 49 ± 19 pN for M4 proteins. Hence, our results demonstrated that relative location of surface amino acids of Cel5H protein especially positive charged amino acids are important in the process of clay mineral-protein binding interaction through electrostatic exchange of charges.

Unusual dimensionality effects and surface charge density in 2D Mg(OH)2.

Project description:We present two-dimensional Mg(OH)2 sheets and their vertical heterojunctions with CVD-MoS2 for the first time as flexible 2D insulators with anomalous lattice vibration and chemical and physical properties. New hydrothermal crystal growth technique enabled isolation of environmentally stable monolayer Mg(OH)2 sheets. Raman spectroscopy and vibrational calculations reveal that the lattice vibrations of Mg(OH)2 have fundamentally different signature peaks and dimensionality effects compared to other 2D material systems known to date. Sub-wavelength electron energy-loss spectroscopy measurements and theoretical calculations show that Mg(OH)2 is a 6?eV direct-gap insulator in 2D, and its optical band gap displays strong band renormalization effects from monolayer to bulk, marking the first experimental confirmation of confinement effects in 2D insulators. Interestingly, 2D-Mg(OH)2 sheets possess rather strong surface polarization (charge) effects which is in contrast to electrically neutral h-BN materials. Using 2D-Mg(OH)2 sheets together with CVD-MoS2 in the vertical stacking shows that a strong change transfer occurs from n-doped CVD-MoS2 sheets to Mg(OH)2, naturally depleting the semiconductor, pushing towards intrinsic doping limit and enhancing overall optical performance of 2D semiconductors. Results not only establish unusual confinement effects in 2D-Mg(OH)2, but also offer novel 2D-insulating material with unique physical, vibrational, and chemical properties for potential applications in flexible optoelectronics.

Clay minerals as a source of cadmium to estuaries.

Project description:Given the high surface reactivity of clay minerals, it is assumed that flocculation will lead to metal accumulation in marginal marine settings. However, the degree of metal sorption to clays is impacted by solution pH and ionic strength, and it remains unknown whether riverine clays indeed serve as a metal sink once they encounter seawater where pH and ionic strength markedly increase. Here, we conducted cadmium (Cd) adsorption experiments to three types of common clay minerals - kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite. We found that 20-30% of Cd from illite and montmorillonite surfaces were desorbed when transitioning from freshwater to seawater pH and ionic strength conditions, while kaolinite showed no discernible differences. Synchrotron X-ray adsorption spectroscopy confirmed that Cd release corresponded to a change in bonding from outer- to inner-sphere complexes when clays encountered seawater pH and ionic strength conditions. If other trace nutrients (such as Cu, Zn, Co) adsorbed onto riverine clay minerals behave in a similar manner to Cd, we speculate that their desorption in marginal marine settings should exert a significant impact on the productivity of the biosphere.

Hybrid Pigments from Anthocyanin Analogues and Synthetic Clay Minerals.

Project description:Flavylium cations are synthetic analogues of anthocyanins, the natural plant pigments that are responsible for the majority of the red, blue, and purple colors of flowers, fruits, and leaves. Unlike anthocyanins, the properties and reactivity of flavylium cations can be manipulated by the nature and position of substituents on the flavylium cation chromophore. Currently, the most promising strategies for stabilizing the color of anthocyanins and flavylium cations appear to be to intercalate and/or adsorb them on solid surfaces and/or in confined spaces. We report here that hybrid pigments with improved thermal stability, fluorescence, and attractive colors are produced by the cation-exchange-mediated adsorption of flavylium cations (FL) on two synthetic clays, the mica-montmorillonite SYn-1, and the laponite SYnL-1. Compared to the FL/SYn-1 hybrid pigments, the FL/SYnL-1 pigments exhibited improved thermal stability as judged by color retention, better preferential adsorption of the cationic form of FL1 at neutral to mildly basic pH (pH 7-8), and lower susceptibility to color changes at pH 10. Although both clays adsorb the cationic form on their external surfaces, SYnL-1 gave more evidence of adsorption in the interlayer regions of the clay. This interlayer adsorption appears to be the contributing factor to the better properties of the FL/SYnL-1 hybrid pigments, pointing to this clay to be a promising inorganic matrix for the development of brightly colored, thermally more stable hybrid pigments based on cationic analogues of natural plant pigments.
