基于铝离子掺杂二氧化钛薄膜的染料敏化太阳能电池的光电性能

采用水热法制备出Al3+掺杂二氧化钛薄膜,通过玻璃棒涂于导电玻璃上,在450°C的温度下烧结并将其用N3染料敏化制成染料敏化太阳能电池(DSSCs).通过X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)及DSSCs测试系统对其进行了测试表征,研究了Al3+掺杂对TiO2晶型及染料敏化太阳能电池的光电性能影响.XPS数据显示Al3+成功掺杂到了TiO2晶格内,由于Al3+的存在,对半导体内电子和空穴的捕获及阻止电子/空穴对的复合发挥重要作用.莫特-肖特基曲线显示掺杂Al3+后二氧化钛平带电位发生正移,并导致电子从染料注入到TiO2的驱动力提高.DSSCs系统测试结果表明,Al3+掺杂的TiO2薄膜光电效率达到6.48%,相对于无掺杂的纯二氧化钛薄膜光电效率(5.58%),其光电效率提高了16.1%,短路光电流密度从16.5mA·cm-2提高到18.2mA·cm-2.     

Al3+对尖晶石型LiMn2O4正极材料的表面掺杂包覆改性

采用表面掺杂包覆改性的方法对LiMn2O4尖晶石型锂离子电池正极材料进行改性.以Al为表面掺杂元素,Al(NO3)3为原料,研究了Al3+掺杂量为7.1%(原子分数)时不同温度(300、400、500、600、700、750、800℃)下的改性效果.研究发现,随着热处理温度的升高,改性样品的最大比容量先升高后降低,在700℃达到最大值;循环衰减先增大后降低再增大;这是由于随着热处理温度的升高,包覆层逐渐分解并与LiMn2O4颗粒反应固溶,在750℃完全固溶,衰减达到极小值,而后固溶层向颗粒内部扩散,导致包覆层对颗粒免受电解液溶解的保护能力变弱,因而容量衰减增大.其中700℃热处理5h的样品最大比容量为133.6mAh·g-1,循环50周衰减3.4%.研究表明Al3+表面掺杂包覆改性有利于促进LiMn2O4尖晶石型锂离子电池正极材料的商业化生产,具有大规模应用的前景.     

YVO_4:Eu~(3+),Al~(3+)荧光粉的制备及荧光性能研究

稀土铕离子掺杂对拟薄水铝石晶体结构和相变的影响

研究了Eu3+离子对拟薄水铝石高温相变及微结构的影响。XRD及热分析结果表明,拟薄水铝石在560,882及1224℃分别经历-γAlOOH→-γAl2O3,γ-Al2O3→-θAl2O3和-θAl2O3→-αAl2O3相变。Eu3+掺杂后-γAlOOH→-γAl2O3相变温度不变,-γAl2O3→-θAl2O3和-θAl2O3→-αAl2O3相变温度分别提高到1054和1237℃。晶胞体积增大及衍射峰2θ值减小说明Eu3+离子以部分离子取代的形式进入-γAl2O3及-θAl2O3晶格。Eu3+离子进入晶格抑制了γ-Al2O3及-θAl2O3晶粒生长速率。-θAl2O3→-αAl2O3相变过程中Eu3+离子随Al3+一起迁移,并与Al3+离子及O2-离子形成了一个新生化合物相EuAl12O19。分析认为,该化合物在-αAl2O3晶界间存在,阻碍了-θAl2O3→-αAl2O3相转变过程中离子扩散速率,使-θAl2O3→-αAl2O3相变活化能由822.0提高到1063.15 kJ.mol-1。Eu3+离子掺杂使-θAl2O3→-αAl2O3相变过程由形核控制转变为表面扩散控制。

Recombination of KrD and XeD ions with electrons

Recombination rate coefficients of protonated and deuterated ions KrH⁺, KrD⁺, XeH⁺ and XeD⁺ were measured using Flowing Afterglow with Langmuir Probe (FALP). Helium at 1600 Pa and at temperature 250 K was used as a buffer gas in the experiments. Kr, Xe, H₂ and D₂ were introduced to a flow tube to form the desired ions. Because of small differences in proton affinities of Kr, D₂ and H₂ mixtures of ions, KrD⁺/D₃⁺ and KrH⁺/H₃⁺ are formed in the afterglow plasma, influencing the plasma decay. To obtain a recombination rate coefficient for a particular ion, the dependencies on partial pressures of gases used in the ion formation were measured. The obtained rate coefficients, α_KrD+(250 K) = (0.9 ± 0.3) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹ and α_XeD+(250 K) = (8 ± 2) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹ are compared with α_KrH+(250 K) = (2.0 ± 0.6) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹ and α_XeH+(250 K) = (8 ± 2) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹.     

A kinetic study of the oxidation of hydroxamic acids by compounds I and II of horseradish peroxidase: Effect of transition metal ions

Abstract

Oxidation of hydroxamic acids (HXs) generates HNO, and it is not clear whether it is formed also in the presence of metal ions. The kinetics of the oxidation of HXs, such as acetohydroxamic acid, suberohydroxamic acid, and suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), by compounds I and II of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) at pH 7.0 and 25?°C have been studied using rapid-mixing stopped-flow. The kinetics of these reactions were compared to those observed in the presence of Cu(ClO₄)₂, NiSO₄, or ZnSO₄. The rates decrease upon increasing [Cu^II] at constant [HXs], and no oxidation of HX occurs when [HX]/[Cu^II] ≈ 2, implying that HX oxidation in the presence of Cu^II proceeds through the free ligand since the predominant complex is CuX₂. In the case of Ni^II, the oxidation rate decreases upon increasing the ratio [Ni^II]/[HX] beyond 1, where the predominant complex is Ni^IIX⁺, implying that its oxidation is feasible. The effect of Zn^II could be studied only on the rate of HXs oxidation by compound II demonstrating similar behavior to that of Ni^II. HXs were also oxidized catalytically by HRP/H₂O₂ at pH 7.0, demonstrating that metal ions facilitate the formation of HNO while hardly affecting its yield and the extent of HX oxidation.     

Orthogonal Wavelets Analysis of Electroanalytical Signals

ABSTRACT

A signal processing technique based on orthogonal wavelet analysis is applied to process various simulated electroanalytical signals. The results indicate that if the scale parameters are selected, the orthogonal wavelet processing method (OWPM) can remove high-frequency noise. Experimental signal was recorded by computer and used to test the OWPM procedure. After processing with OWPM, the processed data was used to analyze the mechanism of the electrode reactions. Processed results of the experimental data are also satisfactory.     

Coordinate Structures of PrIII, GdIII, TmIII, and YbIII Complexes with Nitrilotriacetic Acids

The crystal and molecular structures of the [Pr^III(nta)(H₂O)₂]·H₂O (nta = nitrilotriacetic acids), K₃[Gd^III(nta)₂(H₂O)]·6H₂O, and K₃[Yb^III(nta)₂]·5H₂O complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analyses. In [Pr^III(nta)(H₂O)₂]·H₂O, the Pr^IIINO₈ part forms a nine-coordinate pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic structure in which one N and three O atoms are from one nta ligand in the same molecule, three O atoms from another nta ligand in the neighboring molecule and two O atoms from two coordinate water molecules. In K₃[Gd^III(nta)₂(H₂O)]·6H₂O, the [Gd^III(nta)₂(H₂O)^3- complex anion has a nine-coordinate pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic structure in which each nta acts as a tetradentate ligand with one N atom of the amino group and three O atoms of the carboxylic groups. In K₃[Yb^III(nta)₂]·5H₂O, each nta also acts as a tetradentate ligand with one N atom of amino group and three O atoms of the carboxylic groups, but the [Yb^III(nta)₂ ^3- complex anion has an eight-coordinate structure with a distorted square antiprismatic prism. All the results including those for [Tm^III(nta)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O confirm the inferences on the coordinate structures and coordination numbers of rare earth metal complexes with the nta ligand.

Rotational molecular motion and solvation of Na+ and Cs+ in water-dimethylacetamide. A nuclear magnetic relaxation study

Nuclear magnetic relaxation by intra- and intermolecular quadrupoleelectric field gradient interaction has been used for the study of the systems DMA-water-NaI and DMA-water-CsI at 25°C.¹⁴N relaxation of DMA and²H relaxation of D₂O measured over the complete mixture range reveal the behavior of the rotational molecular motion of the two solvent components. For both solvent components a marked maximum of the reorientational correlation time has been found, reflecting hydrophobic effects and strong DMA-water interaction. The quadrupolar relaxation rates of²³Na⁺ and¹³³Cs⁺ in pure DMA were evaluated giving an indication that the electric solvent dipoles in the solvation shell are not located on positions of cubic symmetry. A quantitative study of preferential solvation of the cations in the mixed solvent has been performed by using the H₂O-D₂O isotope effect on²³Na⁺ and¹³³Cs⁺ relaxation. For both cations an obviously typical change in the selectivity occurs. In the range l>x _{H2 O}>0.7 we find weak preferential hydration, but in the range 0.7>xH ₂ O>0 strong preferential solvation by DMA is reflected.     

Recombination of HCO and DCO ions with electrons

Recombination of HCO⁺ and DCO⁺ ions with electrons was studied in afterglow plasma. The flowing afterglow with Langmuir probe (FALP) apparatus was used to measure the recombination rate coefficients and their temperature dependencies in the range 150–270 K. To obtain a recombination rate coefficient for a particular ion, the dependencies on partial pressures of gases used in the ion formation were measured. The variations of α_HCO⁺(T) and α_DCO⁺(T) seem to obey the power law: α_HCO⁺(T) = (2.0 ± 0.6) × 10⁻⁷ (T/300)^−1.3 cm³ s⁻¹ and α_DCO⁺(T) = (1.7 ± 0.5) × 10⁻⁷ (T/300)^−1.1 cm³ s⁻¹ over the studied temperature range.     

The Synthesis of Dibenzo[3n]crown-n by Novel Methods and their Cation Binding Studied by Fluorescence Spectroscopy. Part IV

The dibenzo[3n]crown-n were synthesised from1,2-bis(o-hydroxyphenoxy)ethane obtained from 1,2-bis(o-formylphenoxy)ethane via Bayer-Willigeroxidations with H₂O₂/CH₃COOH in good yields. The cyclic condensation of 1,2-bis(o-hydroxyphenoxy)ethanewith dichlorides, and ditosylates of polyethylene glycols in DMF/Me₂CO₃ gave the macrocyclesdibenzo[15]crown-5, dibenzo[18]crown-6, dibenzo[21]crown-7 anddibenzo[24]crown-8. The structures were identified using IR, mass, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Therecognition of the molecules for the cations, Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺ and Zn²⁺were conducted quantitatively with steady state fluorescencespectroscopy. The 1:1 association constants in acetonitrileshowed a good relation of the appropriate size of the macrocyclic ether towards the fitting cationradii. Namely, dibenzo[15]crown-5 was the best for Li⁺ binding and more than 100 times better thanNa⁺ and K⁺. Dibenzo[21]crown-7 was excellent for Rb⁺ binding while K⁺ is 100 timesless preferred. The largest crown ether studied, dibenzo[24]crown-8, exhibited the order of binding power,Rb⁺ > K⁺ > Na⁺. Zn²⁺ displayed, however, a marked binding with only dibenzo[18]crown-6.p>
