Am(III) adsorption on oxides of aluminium and silicon: effects of humic substances,pH, and ionic strength

The adsorption of Am(III) (total concentration 10(-9) mol/l) on alumina, silica, and hematite was studied by a batch technique. The effects of pH, ionic strength, and humic substances on the adsorption of Am(III) on alumina and silica were investigated, and the adsorption isotherms of Am(III) on alumina and silica at different pH values were determined. It was found that compared with the adsorption of Am(III) on alumina, the adsorbability of silica on the basis of mass is less, the relative adsorption rate on silica is slower, the sensitivity of adsorption on silica to ionic strength is less, the dependence of adsorption on silica on pH is gentler, and consequently that the adsorption characteristics of Am(III) on alumina and silica are distinctly different. The negative effect of fulvic acid on the adsorption on silica and the positive effect of humic acid on the adsorption on alumina were found. In contrast to the Am(III) adsorption on alumina and silica, a tremendously high adsorbability of Am(III) on hematite was found. The sequence of adsorbabilities of Am(III) on the basis of mass is Fe2O3 > Al2O3 > SiO2.     

Anionic Graft Copolymers. III. Hydrogenation of Polydienes Grafted with Vinylaromatics

A new method is described to prepare graft copolymers of polystyrene and polyvinylcyclohexane on polyethylene and poly (ethylene, butene-1). Hydrogenation of the butadiene moieties of graft copolymers of polystyrene on poly-1, 4-butadiene and high vinyl polybutadiene forms graft copolymers of polystyrene on polyethylene and on poly (ethylene, butene-1). Graft copolymers of polyvinylcyclohexane on polyethylene and on poly (ethylene, butene-1) are prepared by completely hydrogenating graft copolymers of polystyrene on poly-1, 4-butadiene and on high vinyl polybutadiene. The physical properties of these polymer systems depend on composition and graft level, resulting in either tough polymers or elastomers.     

Determination of complex reaction mechanisms. Analysis of chemical, biological and genetic networks

We present several methods of determining, not guessing, complex chemical reaction mechanisms and their functions. One method is based on the theory of correlation functions of measured time series of concentrations of chemical species; another is on measurements of temporal responses of concentrations to various perturbations of arbitrary magnitude; a third deals with the analysis of oscillatory systems; a fourth is on the use of genetic algorithms to determine functions of chemical reaction networks. All methods are applicable to chemical, biochemical, and biological reaction systems and to genetic networks and systems biology. The methods depend on the design of appropriate experiments on the whole system and corresponding theories for interpretation that lead to information on the causal chemical connectivity of species, on reaction pathways, on reaction mechanisms, on control centers in the system, and on functions of the system. The first three methods require no assumption of a model or hypothesis, nor extensive calculations, unlike the interpretation of measurements made on a gene network at only one time.

Layer-selective epitaxial self-assembly of porphyrins on ultrathin insulators

Copper-Octaethyl Porphyrin self-assembly has been studied on NaCl islands, 1–3 monolayers thick, grown on metal substrates. Extended ordered molecular monolayers are observed for the first time on ultrathin insulator films. The assembly occurs in hierarchical fashion, starting on the metal substrate, then followed by assembly on the first and second NaCl layers, clearly demonstrating a decrease in adsorption energy for increasing insulator layer thickness. The underlying mechanisms are discussed on the basis of molecule–substrate interactions. Voltage-dependent STM images reveal differences of the electronic structure for molecules adsorbed on metal and NaCl/metal areas.     

环取代基对金属化聚苯胺衍生物膜修饰电极性能的影响

通过比较聚2，5－二甲氧基苯胺（PDMAn）、聚邻甲基苯胺（POT）和聚间氯苯胺（PmClAn）膜修饰电极的氧化还原电位、沉积在这3种聚合物上的铂微粒的表面形态与晶面取向以及异丙醇在分散Pt微粒的聚苯胺膜修饰电极上的氧化行为，从电子效应和立体效应探讨了聚合物电化学性质与环取代基的关系以及不同聚合基质对Pt沉积机理和有催化性能的影响,结果表明，在硫酸溶液中PDMAn膜修饰电极的氧化还原电位最负、POT次之、PmClAn最正，Pt在PDMAn和POT膜上的电沉积机理与在PmClAn膜上的不同，聚合物膜上沉积的Pt微粒呈现（200)晶面择优取向，其中POT膜上择优取向度最大，PDMAn次之，Pm-ClAn最小，异丙醇在金属化聚合物膜电极上的氧化电位取决于聚苯胺的本质，在POT膜修饰电极上异丙醇的电氧化主要发生在POT的活性电位区，而在PDMAn与PmClAn膜上的电氧化则主要发生在Pt上的氧化电位区，说明聚合物膜不仅作为Pt微粒的分散介质，而且本身有产生催化作用。     

Recent progress in experiments for sessile droplet wetting on structured surfaces

Wetting of a sessile droplet on structured or patterned surface can be found in a broad range of applications. The researchers have been promoted to keep working on the topic. The review is on the basis of the recent experimental advances on the sessile droplet wetting on the hydrophobic, hydrophilic, or combined hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces under isothermal conditions, and on heating or cooling substrates having nonisothermal conditions. More attention has been paid on the wetting configuration between the sessile droplet and the structured substrate; the research gap has been discussed on identifying the three-phase line shape. Further, the three-dimensional measurement for the sessile droplets on the patterned surfaces with focusing more on the contact line of sessile droplets might reveal new physical insights. This review targets at building a holistic overview on the sessile droplet wetting behaviors on the structured substrate in the past 2 years.     

Influence of molecular order on the local work function of nanographene architectures: a Kelvin-probe force microscopy study.

We report a Kelvin-probe force microscopy (KPFM) investigation on the structural and electronic properties of different submicron-scale supramolecular architectures of a synthetic nanographene, including extended layers, percolated networks and broken patterns grown from solutions at surfaces. This study made it possible to determine the local work function (WF) of the different pi-conjugated nanostructures adsorbed on mica with a resolution below 10 nm and 0.05 eV. It revealed that the WF strongly depends on the local molecular order at the surface, in particular on the delocalization of electrons in the pi-states, on the molecular orientation at surfaces, on the molecular packing density, on the presence of defects in the film and on the different conformations of the aliphatic peripheral chains that might cover the conjugated core. These results were confirmed by comparing the KPFM-estimated local WF of layers supported on mica, where the molecules are preferentially packed edge-on on the substrate, with the ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy microscopically measured WF of layers adsorbed on graphite, where the molecules should tend to assemble face-on at the surface. It appears that local WF studies are of paramount importance for understanding the electronic properties of active organic nanostructures, being therefore fundamental for the building of high-performance organic electronic devices, including field-effect transistors, light-emitting diodes and solar cells.     

Thermische und spektroskopische Untersuchungen zur Wassersorption an Alkalihalogeniden

Investigations on the extension of the diffuse reflectance spectroscopy by means of the dilution method of KORTÜM show the decisive influence of water sorption on the dilution substances, particularly on their absolute reflectance. Water sorption is investigated on alkali halides (NaCl and LiF) as dilution substances by gravimetric, thermal desorption and reflectance methods. Sorption gravimetry gives data on the quantities of adsorbed substances and the time function of adsorption processes, thermal desorption on chemical binding of adsorbed molecules and reflectance spektroscopy on the molar absorptivity of adsorbed water molecules.

吸附相反应技术用于不同载体表面纳米TiO2的制备

研究了不同载体对吸附相反应技术制备TiO2粒子的影响, 设计了两种不同表面形貌载体的温度实验(A型SiO2: 粒径20 nm, 比表面积640 m2·g-1; B型SiO2: 粒径12 nm, 比表面积200 m2·g-1), 并用电子能谱仪测定了两种载体表面TiO2含量随温度的变化. 结果表明, 两种载体表面Ti含量都随着温度的升高而减少, 且在一定温度范围内存在着突变, 但A载体突变的温度范围是40-60 ℃, 而B载体为30-50 ℃. TEM表征结果则显示, B表面TiO2粒子要比A表面的均匀. XRD得到的晶粒粒径曲线表明, A 载体表面TiO2晶粒粒径随着温度升高而减小并存在着突变, B载体表面粒子粒径则基本不变. 根据硅胶表面的吸附特性, 提出SiO2吸附的共性导致载体表面Ti含量变化曲线存在着共同点, 而载体内外表面的不同形貌则引起其表面吸附层的形貌以及温度敏感性不同, 最终导致两种载体表面Ti含量、晶粒粒径以及形貌上的差别.     

Intrinsic barrier for protonation of radical anions

Ab initio calculations on radical anions show that, counterintuitively, protonation on the radicaloid carbon is favored. In the case of radical anions derived from acrylonitrile and acrylaldehyde, protonation on the heteroatom is less favored than protonation on the radicaloid carbon. However, in nitroethylene, the preferred protonation site is on the nitro oxygen in accordance with experimental observation.     

Growth and characterization of pyrene crystals on carbon nanofibers

Pyrene crystals were grown on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) by dispersing pyrene polycrystals and CNFs in water during ultrasonic irradiation, and they were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and spectroscopy. The XRD measurements indicated that the orientation and size of the pyrene crystals on the CNF aggregates were different from that of the added pyrene polycrystals. Based on the spectroscopic properties of the pyrene crystals on the CNFs, the pyrene crystals on the CNF aggregates and on the individual CNFs were determined to be polycrystals and single crystals, respectively. These results indicate that pyrene crystals are produced on the CNFs by recrystallization of the added pyrene polycrystals and their crystal states depend on the aggregation state of the CNFs.

SYNERGISTIC INTERACTIONS ON PHENOL ADSORPTION FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS BY POLYMERIC ADSORBENTS

In this paper, the adsorption behaviors of phenol on polymeric adsorbents (Amberlite XAD4, NDA101, and D301)were investigated in batch system at 293, 303, and 313K, respectively. As the results shown, the adsorption isotherms of phenol on all adsorbents can be well fitted by Langmuir and Freundlich equations, which indicate a favorable and exothermic process. The adsorption capacity on a newly developed aminated adsorbent, NDA101, on which adsorption could be achieved by both hydrogen bonding interaction and π-π interaction, are higher than that on a weak base adsorbent, D301, on which adsorption could be achieved by hydrogen bonding interaction only, and on a nonpolar adsorbent, XAD4, on which adsorption could be achieved by π-π interaction only. The results of this paper indicate that the synergistic effect of some weak interactions, which occur simultaneously would contribute more to the adsorption than that occur individually.     

ToF‐SIMS and principal component analysis: Effect of film thickness on crystal surfaces of polymers

The effect of film thickness on the structural conformation of the surfaces of the amorphous state, edge‐on lamellae and flat‐on lamellae of a semiflexible polymer, poly(bisphenol‐A‐etheroctane), was investigated by time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS) with the aid of principal component analysis (PCA). PCA results empirically indicate that a structurally regular polymer surface was obtained with the formation of the flat‐on lamellae from the amorphous state at a low degree of supercooling. A higher concentration of end group and cilium ion fragments, which are indicative of free chain ends, was observed on the edge‐on lamellar surfaces than on the amorphous and the flat‐on lamellar surfaces. This finding was attributed to the fact that the lateral surface of the edge‐on lamellae contains many growth fronts, leaving behind a large number of uncrystallized chain remnants on the surfaces. Structural disorder was facilitated on both edge‐on and flat‐on lamellar surfaces as the film thickness decreased. Hence, this PCA study offers new insights into the nonequilibrium nature of polymer crystals and the mechanism of polymer crystallization in thin and ultrathin films.

CO oxidation on Pd(100) and Pd(111): a comparative study of reaction pathways and reactivity at low and medium coverages.

We have performed density functional theory calculations with the generalized gradient approximation to investigate CO oxidation on a close-packed transition metal surface, Pd(111), and a more open surface, Pd(100), aiming to shed light on surface structure effects on reaction pathways and reactivity, an important issue in catalysis. Reaction pathways on both surfaces at two different coverages have been studied. It is found that the reaction pathways on both surfaces possess crucial common features despite the fact that they have different surface symmetries. Having determined reaction barriers in these systems, we find that the reaction on Pd(111) is strongly coverage dependent. Surface coverages, however, have little effect on the reaction on Pd(100). Calculations also reveal that the low coverage reactions are structure sensitive while the medium coverage reactions are not. Detailed discussions on these results are given.
