尿酸是嘌呤在人体内代谢的最终产物，如果人们长期食用嘌呤含量高的食物或者不新鲜的各种肉类，使人体尿酸失衡，就容易导致血液中尿酸过高，引发一系列健康问题。本实验制备了一种新型Cd₂In₂S₅纳米晶，将Cd₂In₂S₅纳米晶与丝网印刷碳柔性电极结合，所得电极可用于尿酸检测。可通过检测尿酸含量来监测人体健康状况以及判断肉类新鲜程度。本实验创新性的将神奇的纳米材料走向市场，让中小学生、大学生、社会人群都能明白尿酸检测原理。实验所用材料便宜易得，操作简单，可实现尿酸的居家检测。

Metal-organic framework (MOF) MIL-101 and surface plasmon polariton (SPP) supported gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) hybrid systems were developed as a highly sensitive and reproducible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection platform, in which a green electrostatic self-assembly technology was adopted to construct the substrate. In an aqueous solution, the electronegativity of the particles can be used to prepare the composite substrate without any surface modifier. Due to the enrichment capacity of MIL-101 and the electromagnetic enhancement from Au NPs, the well-designed MIL-101/Au composites possessed ultrahigh sensitivity with the detection limit of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) as low as 10^-10 mol·L^-1. Meanwhile, the substrate exhibits high stability, excellent reproducibility, and recyclability. Additionally, the novel substrate can be explored for direct capture, and sensitively detect pesticide residues such as thiram.

“化学研究训练II”课程是天津大学化学系高年级学生的一门专业必修课。该课程创新教学模式，采用“自助式”学习探索，课程由学生根据自己的兴趣和特长自由组队、自选方向、自行设计研究方案，在教师的指导下完成探索性研究，并通过集体展示、同伴互评等新型评价方式来进行成绩评定。课程因内容丰富、教学方式新颖而广受学生好评。本课程探索了新的教学模式，提高了学生的科研实践能力，对培养拔尖创新人才进行了有益探索。
