Integration of Cutting-Edge Research into Analytical Chemistry Laboratory Teaching:Investigation of Photothermal and Catalase-Like Properties of Prussian Blue Nanoparticles
The present experiment employed the"defect-selective etching method"to synthesize Prussian blue nanoparticles(PBNPs)with uniform particle size.The PBNPs was characterized and analyzed using transmission electron microscopy,scanning electron microscopy,and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy,among others,to explore its photothermal performance and catalytic activity resembling peroxidase.Through this experiment,students were provided with an opportunity to enhance their skills in utilizing conventional instruments and conducting data analysis.Furthermore,they could gain insights into cutting-edge scientific knowledge and thereby elevate their level of scientific literacy.This comprehensive experiment aimed to empower students with a holistic learning experience,enabling them to master scientific methods and techniques through practical application.Consequently,they would achieve a better understanding and application of scientific principles,while cultivating their abilities in observation,experimental design,and data processing.
