The effects of calcining temperature and doping ratio on the particle size, composition, spectrum selectivity of bismuth-doped tin dioxide and the phase transition of Bi-Sn precursor at different temperatures were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visual-near infrared diffuse reflection spectrum and the thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry. The results show that prepared bismuth-doped tin dioxide powders have excellent characteristics with a single-phase tetragonal structure, good dispersibility, good absorbency for ultraviolet ray and average particle size less than 10 nm. The optimum conditions for preparing bismuth-doped tin dioxide nanometer powders are as follows: calcining temperature of 600℃, ratio of bismuth-doped in a range of 0.10-0.30, and Bi-Sn precursor being dispersed by ultrasonic wave and refluxed azeotropic and distillated with mixture of n-butanol and benzene. The mechanism of phase transition of Bi-Sn precursor is that Bi 3+ enters Sn-vacancy and then forms Sn—O—Bi bond.展开更多

Using the adsorbent derived from sewage sludge to adsorb the low concentration SO2 in fixed bed system, the effects of the metallic derivatives on characteristics of the adsorbent were investigated at different compositions of the gaseous mixtures. The results show that when the mass fraction of vanadium reaches 0.5% and the mass fraction of （iron,） calcium, copper, nickel reach approximately 0.9%, under the condition that the adsorption mixture contains （0.12%SO2,） 3%O2 and 10% water vapor, the maximum adsorption capacity of SO2 can be obtained to be 128, 109, 90, 82, 78 mg·g-1, respectively. So the metallic derivatives fixed onto adsorbent derived from sewage sludge especially vanadium have great effects on of the sorption characteristics of the adsorbent with respect to SO2.展开更多

The catalysts were prepared by using the wetness impregnation method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by a series of physico-chemical characterization techniques such as BET surface area, thermo-gravimetric （TG）, transmission electron microscope （TEM） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. In addition, the amount of carbon deposits on the surface of the catalysts and the type of the carbonaceous species were discussed by TG. It was found that the bimetallic Pt-Ru/7-A1203 catalysts exhibit both superior catalytic activity and remarkable stability by comparison of monometallic catalysts. During the 500 h stability test, the bimetallic catalyst showed a good performance at 800 ~C in CO2 reforming of CH4, exhibiting an excellent anti-carbon performance with the mass loss of less than 8.5%. The results also indicate that CO2 and CH4 have quite stable conversions of 96.0 % and 94.0 %, respectively. Also, the selectivity of the catalysts is excellent with the products ratio of CO/H2 maintaining at 1.02. Furthermore, it was found in TEM images that the active carbonaceous species were formed during the catalytic reaction, and well-distributed dot-shaped metallic particles with a relatively uniform size of about 3 nm as well as amorphous carbon structures were observed. Combined with BET, TG, TEM tests, it is concluded that the selected bimetallic catalysts can work continuously in a stable state at the high temperature, which has a potential to be utilized for the closed-loop cycle of the solar thermochemical energy storage in future industry applications.展开更多

文摘Buckypapers(BPs)consist of carbon nanotube(CNT)membranes with good mechanical,thermal and elec-trical properties.We report the modification of CNT buckypapers by the surface deposition of a thin layer of ti-tanium dioxide and their subsequent photocatalytic use for the removal of three wastewater pollutants:diclofenac(DF),carbofuran(CB)and methylene blue(MB).The results show the following decreases(RE)in the initial concentrations of these pollutants,REDF=99.5%,REMB=96%and RECB=90%after 90 min of exposure to UV-Vis radiation using~0.6 mg of photocatalyst.Experiments also showed that the degradation rate of diclofenac(k=0.1028 min^(−1))is respectively 3.5 and 6 times faster than the values for CB(k=0.0298 min^(−1))and MB(k=0.0174 min^(−1)),probably due to the easier bond cleavage in DF.UV-Vis irradiated solutions of these pollutants were then analyzed by mass spectrometry to identify the species formed during photocatalysis and suggest possible degradation paths for MB,DF,and CB.Data showed that the degradation of DF involves the formation of a photocyclization product through loss of HCl molecule,clearly consuming less energy than that needed for the opening of the central aromatic ring in MB,or the loss of the N-methyl amide functional group for CB.

文摘The conversion of CO_(2)to dimethyl carbonate(DMC)offers a promising route for CO_(2)utilization.In this study,four CeO2 catalysts with distinct nanostructures were synthesized via a template-free hydrothermal method by systematically varying the types and concentrations of precipitants as well as the hydrothermal reaction conditions,and they were employed for DMC synthesis from CO_(2)and methanol.The atomic arrangements of CeO_(2)varied significantly with its morphology,leading to differences in lattice distortion,which directly influenced the concentration of oxygen vacancies.Notably,the CeO_(2)nanospheres,which exhibited the highest lattice distortion and oxygen vacancy concentration,achieved a DMC yield(11.12 mmol/g)48 times greater than that of the nanocubes(0.23 mmol/g).The results indicated that oxygen vacancies played a pivotal role in the catalytic process by facilitating the adsorption and activation of CO_(2)to form bidentate carbonates,as well as activating methanol to generate methoxy species.These processes collectively promoted the formation of the key intermediate(*CH3OCOO).This study proposes a strategy to enhance the oxygen vacancy concentration by increasing lattice distortion,providing valuable insights for designing high-performance CeO_(2)catalysts for DMC synthesis.

文摘For rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries(ZIBs),the design of nanocomposites comprised of electrochemically active materials and carbon materials with novel structures has great prom-ise in addressing the issue of electrical conductivity and structural stability in the electrode materials during electrochemical cycling.We report the production of a novel flexible electrode material,by anchoring MnO_(2) nanosheets on a B,N co-doped carbon nanotube ar-ray(BNCNTs)grown on carbon cloth(BNCNTs@MnO_(2)),which was fabricated by in-situ pyrolysis and hydrothermal growth.The generated BNCNTs were strongly bonded to the surface of the car-bon fibers in the carbon cloth which provides both excellent elec-tron transport and ion diffusion,and improves the stability and dur-ability of the cathode.Importantly,the BNCNTs offer more active sites for the hydrothermal growth of MnO_(2),ensuring a uniform dis-tribution.Electrochemical tests show that BNCNTs@MnO_(2) delivers a high specific capacity of 310.7 mAh g^(−1) at 0.1 A g^(−1),along with excellent rate capability and outstanding cycling stability,with a 79.7% capacity retention after 8000 cycles at 3 A g^(−1).

文摘Building a lunar human base is one of the important goals of human lunar exploration.This paper proposes a method for the production of oxygen by combining photothermal synergistic water decomposition with high-temperature carbon dioxide electrolysis,utilizing the full solar spectrum.The optimal oxygen production rates under different solid oxide electrolysis cell inlet temperatures T_(e),ultraviolet(UV)separation wavelengths λ_(2),infrared(IR)separation wavelengths,and photovoltaic cell materials were explored.The results indicate that the inlet temperature of the solid oxide electrolysis cell should be as high as possible so that more carbon dioxide can be converted into carbon monoxide and oxygen.Furthermore,when the ultraviolet separation wavelength is approximately 385 nm,the proportion of solar energy allocated to the photoreaction and electrolysis cell is optimal,and the oxygen production rate is highest at 2.754×10^(-4) mol/s.Moreover,the infrared separation wavelength should be increased as much as possible within the allowable range to increase the amount of solar radiation allocated to the electrolysis cell to improve the rate of oxygen generation.In addition,copper indium gallium selenide(CIGS)has a relatively large separation wavelength,which can result in a high oxygen production rate of 3.560×10^(-4) mol/s.The proposed integrated oxygen production method can provide a feasible solution for supplying oxygen to a lunar human base.
文摘Cu suffers from oxidation and corrosion during application due to its active chemical properties.Graphene⁃modified Cu can significantly improve its stability during application.However,copper is easily sintered at high temperatures,so that graphene cannot be grown inside.We demonstrate two kinds of spacers,graphite and SiO_(2),which are effective in preventing the sintering of copper and are used to assist in the growth of graphene.In the Cu⁃C system,the nucleation of graphene is scarce,and it tends to nucleate and grow on the concave surface of copper first,and then grow epitaxially to the convex surface of copper.Eventually,the obtained graphene is relatively thick.In the Cu⁃SiO_(2) system,due to the oxygen released by SiO_(2) at high temperatures,the surface of copper becomes rough.This leads to an increase in the number of graphene nucleation sites without preferred orientation,and relatively thin graphene is obtained.Two different growth mechanisms have been established for spacerseffects on graphene growth.It provides insights for graphene engineering for further applications.

文摘To enhance the catalytic activity of copper ferrite(CuFe_(2)O_(4))nanoparticle and promote its application as combustion catalyst,a low-cost silicon dioxide(SiO_(2))carrier was employed to construct a novel CuFe_(2)O_(4)/SiO_(2)binary composites via solvothermal method.The phase structure,morphology and catalytic activity of CuFe_(2)O_(4)/SiO_(2)composites were studied firstly,and thermal decomposition,combustion and safety performance of ammonium perchlorate(AP)and 1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine(RDX)with it affecting were then systematically analyzed.The results show that CuFe_(2)O_(4)/SiO_(2)composite can remarkably either advance the decomposition peak temperature of AP and RDX,or reduce the apparent activation energy at their main decomposition zone.Moreover,the flame propagation rate of RDX was promoted by about 2.73 times with SiO_(2)content of 3 wt%,and safety property of energetic component was also improved greatly,in which depressing the electrostatic discharge sensitivity of pure RDX by about 1.89 times.In addition,the effective range of SiO_(2)carrier content in the binary catalyst is found to be 3 to 5 wt%.Therefore,SiO_(2)opens a new insight on the design of combustion catalyst carrier and will promote the application of CuFe_(2)O_(4)catalyst in solid propellant.

文摘In recent years,magnetic fields have been widely applied in catalysis to increase the performance of electrocatalysis,photocatalysis,and thermocatalysis through an important noncontact way.This work demonstrated that doping CsPbCl_(3) halide perovskite nanocrystals with nickel ions(Ni^(2+))and applying an external magnetic field can significantly enhance the performance of the photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR).Compared with its counterpart,Ni-doped CsPbCl_(3) exhibits a sixfold increase in CO_(2)RR efficiency under a 500 mT magnetic field.Insights into the mechanism of this enhancement effect were obtained through photogenerated current density measurements and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism.The results illustrate that the significant enhancement in catalytic performance by the magnetic field is attributed to the synergistic effects of magnetic element doping and the external magnetic field,leading to reduced electron‒hole recombination and extended carrier lifetimes.This study provides an effective strategy for enhancing the efficiency of the photocatalytic CO_(2)RR by manipulating spin-polarized electrons in photocatalytic semiconductors via a noncontact external magnetic field.
