宽工作温度烟气脱硝催化剂制备及反应机理研究

以溶胶-凝胶法制备介孔TiO2载体,采用分步浸渍法制备了V2O5-WO3/TiO2催化剂,借助BET、NH3-TPD、H2-TPR、SEM、活性评价、In-situ FT-IR等手段,考察了催化剂的结构、酸性、还原性、脱硝活性及反应机理等。介孔TiO2载体比表面积为158.6 m2/g,制成催化剂后比表面积略有降低,约为136.7 m2/g。针对模拟烟气在φNH3/φNO=0.8的条件下测试催化剂的脱硝活性温度窗口为250~400℃,脱硝转化率达到80%。NH3-TPD和H2-TPR表征结果表明,催化剂在活性温度范围内具有典型的表面酸性位,载体TiO2与V2O5之间存在的相互作用使得V2O5还原温度降低。利用In-situ FT-IR研究NH3和NO在V2O5-WO3/TiO2催化剂表面吸附和氧化的反应过程发现,NH3可同时吸附在L酸位和B酸位,NH3在活性位上氧化脱氢形成NH2物种是SCR脱硝反应的控制步骤。研究NO+O2+NH3反应时发现,吸附NH3的催化剂引入NO和O2后,共价吸附的NH3首先消失。选择性催化还原反应发生在吸附态NH3和气态或弱吸附态的NO之间,该反应遵从Eley-Rideal反应机理。     

NO 和 NO2 在 V2O5/AC 催化剂表面的反应行为

 采用程序升温脱附、在线质谱和原位漫反射红外光谱等手段, 比较了 NO 和 NO2 在 V2O5 及 V2O5/AC 催化剂表面的选择催化还原 (SCR) 反应行为. 结果表明, 氨以质子态 NH4+和共价态 NH3 分子两种形态吸附于纯 V2O5 表面, V=O 为氨的主要吸附活性位. 无氧状态下, NO 和 NO2 皆可与吸附于 V2O5 表面的 NH3 反应, 并且 NO2 与吸附态 NH3 的反应活性高于 NO. 但在 V2O5/AC 催化剂表面, 同样在无氧条件下, NO 几乎不与吸附态 NH3 反应, 而 NO2 却可以反应并生成 N2. 在 V2O5/AC 表面, NO 很容易被气相 O2 氧化为 NO2, 然后参与 SCR 反应. 可见, NO2 是 NO 在 V2O5/AC 表面发生 SCR 反应的中间体.     

V2O5/ACF催化剂低温下选择性催化还原NO的机理

将V2O5担载在活性炭纤维(ACF)上制得V2O5/ACF催化剂,并采用暂态响应实验和NH3吸附氧化实验等考察了影响V2O5/ACF催化剂上选择性催化还原(SCR)反应的关键因素.结果表明,NH3在催化剂表面的吸附是必要的,而且该吸附是一个快速过程;气相O2的存在有利于形成催化剂中所需的活性氧化态物种.NH3吸附.脱附与原位质谱相结合的实验表明,V2O5/ACF催化剂具有吸附NH3和将NH3氧化为N2H2的能力,N2H2为NH3氧化的一种中间体.     

硫酸化对CeO2-ZrO2催化剂上NH3选择催化还原NO反应的影响

由发电厂等固定源和柴油机等移动源排放的一氧化氮(NO)造成的环境污染问题日益严重.随着严苛的排放法规出台,NO排放控制技术受到越来越多关注.NH3选择性催化还原(SCR)技术是目前去除NO应用最为广泛的方法之一.商业催化剂V2O5-WO3/TiO2在300–400℃温度窗口内显示出优越的NO去除效率,但仍存在一些问题,如钒氧化物的毒性以及在高温时形成N2O和SO3.因此,开发出低钒或无钒的新型催化剂是解决上述问题的关键.CeO2和含铈材料是重要的催化剂载体,具有良好的还原能力和氧存储功能,因而广泛应用于催化领域.CeO2添加到商用催化剂中不仅可以降低钒用量,而且可以提高催化剂抗碱金属中毒能力.CeO2-WO3催化剂在200℃以上时比商用催化剂具有更宽的温度窗口,并展现出较高的抗SO2和碱金属中毒能力.CeO2-ZrO2催化剂通过添加过渡金属元素可以提升其SCR活性,在较宽的温度窗口内具有较高的催化活性.废气中SO2可导致催化剂失活,在实际应用中催化剂硫中毒是较为常见的催化剂失效原因.通常情况下,锰基和铁基催化剂最容易硫中毒.然而CeO2催化剂在硫酸化处理后却展现出良好的SCR活性.催化剂硫酸化主要包括气相、液相和前驱体硫化三种方法.三种方法各有异同,但在催化剂表面形成的硫物种都是SO42–.硫酸化可以增强Ce基催化剂的SCR活性,但是对于硫化引起的催化剂表面酸性、氧化还原性以及NO吸附脱附性质的详细研究报道较少.本文通过液相法对CeO2-ZrO2(CeZr)催化剂进行了硫酸化.XRD结果表明,硫酸化并未对催化剂结晶结构产生影响.TPD和TPR结果表明,硫酸化后催化剂(S-CeZr)表面酸性增强,但抑制了其氧化性.通过原位红外光谱技术系统研究了催化剂在SCR反应过程中表面物种的变化,结果发现,CeZr和S-CeZr的催化机理相同,不同的SCR活性主要是由表面酸性和氧化性引起的.CeO2基催化剂在不同温度窗口遵循不同反应机理.CeZr催化剂具有较强的氧化还原性,使其对NO和NH3具有很强的氧化能力,所以其在低于200℃时具有较好的SCR活性.而S-CeZr催化剂具有更多的Br?nsted酸性位,导致NO不易吸附在催化剂表面,所以其在低温时SCR活性较差,但在高温时(>200℃)具有优良的SCR活性.通过SCR活性和反应机理研究,发现在高温时(>200℃),表面酸性尤其是强酸Br?nsted酸性位在SCR反应中起到决定性作用;而在低温时(<200℃),酸性位对NH3分子较强的键合作用导致NH3难以被氧化,所以较强的酸性位对SCR活性具有抑制作用,而氧化还原性在低温时对SCR反应起到主要作用.同时,在高温时,较高的氧化性可使NH3被O2直接氧化,导致N2选择性降低.     

凹凸棒石负载锰氧化物低温选择性催化还原催化剂的表征及对氨的吸脱附

 以非均相沉淀法制备了凹凸棒石 (PG) 载体上负载锰氧化物催化剂 Mn/PG, 并用于低温选择性催化还原法 (SCR) 脱硝反应. 采用 X 射线衍射、透射电子显微镜和 H2-程序升温还原方法对催化剂进行了表征; 通过 NH3 吸脱附实验考察了催化剂的锰负载量和煅烧温度对 NH3 吸附和脱附量及吸附位的影响. 结果表明, 锰氧化物高度分散于 PG 晶体表面, 其存在状态取决于催化剂煅烧温度. 煅烧温度低于 550 oC, 锰氧化物为 Mn2O3 和 Mn3O4, 煅烧温度为 550 oC 时, 锰氧化物为 Mn3O4. NH3 主要吸附在 PG 载体上, 锰氧化物的担载基本不影响催化剂吸附 NH3 的能力, 但促进了吸附 NH3 的活化, 这是催化剂 SCR 活性显著增加的直接原因.     

WO3改性CeO2-TiO2催化剂的低温NH3-NO/NO2 SCR活性和机理研究

在铈钛基NH3-SCR催化材料中,改性元素对催化材料的酸性位和氧化还原性能的影响较大.本文采用过量浸渍法分别制备了CeO2-TiO2(CeTi)和CeO2/WO3-TiO2(CeWTi)催化剂,研究了CeWTi催化材料结构、酸性位及氧化还原性能对NH3-NO/NO2 SCR反应性能的影响.结果发现,CeTi和CeWTi样品均有较优异的NH3-NO/NO2 SCR催化性能,后者略高.WO3的加入增加了催化材料的表面酸性,对其氧化还原性能影响不大.通过对反应中间物种NH4NO3的研究,发现NH4NO3的分解主要与氧化还原性能相关,而NO还原NH4NO3的反应需要氧化还原能力和酸性位共同作用,即在氧化还原性能差异不大的条件下,酸性对该反应起到重要作用.而该反应也是NH3-NO/NO2 SCR的限速步骤,这是CeWTi催化材料活性高于CeTi催化材料的原因.同时,为了获得NH3-NO/NO2 SCR反应的高活性,NO2:NO比例宜为1:1.然而现实情况中,预氧化催化材料的氧化活性、NOx浓度、温度等变量使得准确控制NO2的比例较难,因此,深入了解NO2浓度对NH3–NO/NO2 SCR反应的影响至关重要.本文探讨NO2:NO的比例、O2浓度等对NH3-NO/NO2 SCR反应性能的影响;并研究了不同NO2含量条件下NH3-NO/NO2 SCR反应网络.通过分析CeWTi材料上NH3-NO/NO2 SCR反应网络可知,当NO与NO2比例为1:1时,NH3-SCR催化活性最高,并以快速SCR形式进行;当NO与NO2比例为1:1消耗完全之后,剩余的NO或NO2各自独立以标准或慢速SCR进行,不影响其本来的反应活性.催化材料的标准SCR、快速SCR和慢速SCR均取决于材料表面酸度和氧化还原性能,但快速SCR和慢速SCR对材料这两方面性能的要求相对较低.同时O2并不参与快速和慢速SCR,而NO2可以取代O2作为SCR反应中主要的氧化剂,氧化Ce4+为Ce3+,甚至比O2和NO再氧化活性位的能力更强,保持催化材料的高催化活性.低温条件时,慢速SCR和快速SCR反应均在材料表面生成硝酸铵中间物种,但由于慢速SCR气氛中缺乏NO将硝酸铵还原,进而引发快速SCR反应,因此材料表面快速SCR的NOx转化率要高于慢速SCR反应;高温条件下,由于硝酸铵容易热分解,导致硝酸铵的抑制效应不太明显.NH4NO3分解是NO2含量升高后N2O的形成的主要途径.     

Rh-CeO2催化剂表面CO还原NO反应中羟基介导NH3生成问题的探讨

CO催化还原NO是发生在汽车尾气净化催化剂中的一个重要化学反应.CeO2容易发生氧化还原反应CeO2?CeO2?x+(x/2)O2而具有氧储存/释放作用,可以有效地促进CO氧化,因而CeO2作为储氧材料和催化助剂被广泛应用于汽车催化剂中.在过渡金属元素中,铑对NO的解离活性最高,是目前汽车三效催化剂中最为重要的还原性活性组分.目前,有关Rh-CeO2基催化剂表面CO还原NO的文献仅关注催化反应活性和N2O选择性,对CO还原NO反应机理的理解还不够深入准确,无法为轻型汽油车NH3排放控制提供正确有用的理论基础.NH3排放至大气中会以NH4+形式与SO42?和NO3?离子结合,导致二次颗粒物污染,因此,研究CO还原NO反应中NH3生成机理对轻型汽油车NH3排放控制具有非常重要的理论意义.我们研究组强调了CO催化还原NO反应的表面羟基介导NH3生成问题,并通过原位漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱(in-situ DRIFTS),傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR),程序升温还原/氧化(TPR/TPO)等现代分析表征技术深入研究了CO还原NO反应机理,并首次提出了催化剂表面"羟基脱氢"反应的NH3生成机理.研究发现,Rh-CeO2催化剂表面CO还原NO反应的NH3选择性最高可达9.7%,其反应表观活化能仅为36 kJ/mol,in-situ DRIFTS,FT-IR和NO-TPO测试结果表明,NH3的生成可归因于催化剂表面"羟基脱氢"反应,即CO与催化剂表面端位羟基和桥式羟基发生"水煤气转化"反应生成H2,反应产生的H2还原NO生成NH3;CeO2中非骨架铈双羟基化形成的类氢氧化铈物种则会直接与NO发生脱氢反应生成NH3,但需要更高的反应温度.值得注意的是,当反应气中额外通入5%水蒸气时,其反应表观活化能提高了21 kJ/mol(同比增加58.3%),更重要的是NH3选择性明显提高,最高可达25.3%(同比增加160.8%),FT-IR测试结果表明,这是由于水蒸气作用促使催化剂表面羟基化,表面活性氢源得以不断补充.这从动力学角度促进了端位羟基和桥式羟基的"水煤气转化"反应而提高NH3选择性.同时,对比NO/H2,CO/NO和CO/NO/H2O反应的NH3生成浓度,我们还发现,H2O分子与NO的竞争吸附会抑制未解离吸附的NH3进一步还原NO,减少反应生成NH3的消耗,促使更多生成的NH3从催化剂表面脱附至气相中,这也是水蒸气导致NH3选择性明显增加的重要原因.以上结果清晰地表明了催化剂表面"羟基脱氢"作用和水蒸气分子与NO的竞争吸附行为对CO还原NO反应中NH3生成的重要影响.     

不同阳离子(NH4+,Na+,K+,Ca2+)溴化物对商用SCR催化剂化学中毒影响机制研究

燃煤飞灰中的碱金属和碱土金属对 NH3-SCR 催化剂的活性有显著的影响. 近年来, 研究者针对碱金属/碱土金属氧化物对 SCR 催化剂中毒作用开展了大量研究. 另一方面, 研究普遍认为, 含溴化合物对提高 SCR 催化剂汞氧化性能具有明显促进作用. 目前为止, 针对碱金属/碱土金属溴化物对 SCR 催化剂影响的系统研究较少. 我们课题组系统研究了不同阳离子的溴化物 (NH4Br, NaBr, KBr 和 CaBr2) 对商用 V2O5-WO3/TiO2催化剂性能的影响.与未中毒样品相比, KBr 中毒后的催化剂 (记为 L-KBr) 上 NOx转化率明显下降, 而 NaBr 和 CaBr2中毒的催化剂 (分别记为 L-NaBr 和 L-CaBr) 上的 SCR 活性也有一定程度的降低. 另外 L-NaBr, L-KBr 和 L-CaBr 催化剂的 N2选择性较差. XPS 结果显示, KBr 中毒后化学吸附氧 (Oα) 比例减小; 同时, KBr 中毒后还原性和表面酸度降低, 这些可能是导致 L-KBr催化剂的活性和 N2选择性变差的主要原因. 对于 L-CaBr 催化剂, 中毒后化学吸附氧 Oα比例有所增加, 这与 H2-TPR 结果显示可还原性增强一致. O2-TPO 结果显示, L-CaBr 催化剂可氧化性降低, 说明 CaBr2中毒还是影响到催化剂表面的氧化还原循环. 催化剂 CaBr2中毒后表面被覆盖减少了反应活性位数量, 但表面酸性的增强可能会抵消活性位点损失带来的负面影响. NH3氧化结果显示, NH3在 L-CaBr 催化剂表面发生过氧化反应, 特别是高温下生成较多 N2O, 降低 N2选择性, 这可能是高温下 L-CaBr 催化剂 SCR 活性和 N2选择性下降的重要原因. CO2-TPD 结果表明, L-KBr 和 L-CaBr 催化剂表面碱性强度增加, 可能有助于增加 NOx物种的吸附量. 基于以上活性评价和表征分析结果, 我们尝试建立了不同溴化物中毒的催化剂表面酸碱性、氧化还原和催化性能之间的关系.     

NH3在V2O5/AC催化剂表面的吸附与氧化

 将V2O5担载在活性焦(AC)上制得V2O5/AC催化剂,通过吸附脱附实验、程序升温脱附实验与原位质谱结合,对200 ℃下NH3在V2O5/AC催化剂表面的吸附和氧化行为进行了研究. 结果表明, AC具有吸附NH3和将NH3转化为NO的能力,这种能力可能源于两种活性位; 担载V2O5后,催化剂对NH3的吸附能力显著增强,并产生了新的NH3氧化产物N2, 但NH3氧化为NO的能力减弱; SO2在催化剂表面的吸附进一步增大了V2O5/AC对NH3的吸附量,这可能是因为硫铵盐的生成消除了催化剂将NH3氧化转化为NO和N2的能力. 当催化剂表面吸附的NH3接近饱和,即表面接近酸碱平衡后NH3才能被氧化为N2. NH3的几个氧化反应都主要依赖气相的O2, 催化剂自身的化合氧作用很小.     

氧化钛负载脱硝催化剂的碱中毒过程:氧化钒的保留和氧化钨的牺牲（英文）

V2O5-WO3/TiO2催化剂目前已广泛用于电厂和工业锅炉燃烧废气脱硝,但燃烧原料煤及石油中含有的杂质元素碱金属与碱土金属元素可吸附在催化剂上,不仅会减少催化剂酸性位的数量,还会与催化活性元素结合生成惰性物种,导致催化剂失活.因此,已有许多有关钒钨钛催化剂碱中毒的研究,从催化剂的氧化还原能力、酸性位损失及表面孔结构等方面进行了讨论.但这些研究大多集中在碱中毒对活性组分V2O5的影响及中毒催化剂的活性变化,很少涉及催化剂中WO3的作用,也缺乏有关不同活性元素与钾盐反应的实验证据.本文采用过量浸渍法制备了不同钒和钨含量的钒钨钛催化剂,研究了氯化钾对其氨法选择性催化还原(NH3-SCR)活性的失活效应.利用感应耦合等离子体、N2吸附、拉曼光谱、H2程序升温还原、NH3吸附红外光谱和NH3氧化活性等手段对新鲜和中毒催化剂的性质进行了表征,特别探讨了V2O5和WO3对催化剂抗碱中毒能力的贡献.催化剂活性测试结果表明,V2O5含量越高,活性温度窗口越宽,而且含有WO3的三元催化剂活性高于V2O5/Ti O2二元催化剂.催化剂的BET比表面积和孔结构取决于TiO2载体,随活性组分配比变化不大,说明催化剂物理结构性质并非影响活性的主要因素.原位红外光谱及H2程序升温还原测试结果表明,随V2O5含量提高,催化剂表面Brnsted酸性位数量及氧化还原能力提高.作为反应的主要活性物种,V2O5在碱中毒处理后变成惰性的偏钒酸钾KVO3,使催化剂中Brnsted酸性位减少,热稳定性下降,并削弱了催化剂的氧化还原能力,因此低钒含量的催化剂容易严重中毒失活.在高钒负载量(3%)时,部分V2O5在碱中毒后得以保留,从而使催化剂保持了一定的脱硝催化活性.另外,WO3能给催化剂表面提供热稳定的酸性位,虽然WO3自身的氧化还原能力差,但其能改善V2O5的分散性,从而提高V2O5-WO3/TiO2催化剂的活性.除此之外,WO3在催化剂碱中毒过程中还能扮演牺牲剂,与钾反应生成钨酸钾(K2WO4),即在V2O5与钾离子结合形成KVO3的同时,部分WO3也会与钾反应形成K2WO4,可以使三元催化剂保留更多的活性V物种.因此,在所研究的催化剂中,高钒负载量的V2O5-WO3/Ti O2催化剂表现出最好的抗碱中毒能力.活性影响因素分析表明,对于新鲜催化剂,其表面吸附的NH3量足够多,催化剂活性与表面酸性相关度不大,脱硝效率主要取决于催化剂的氧化还原能力.但是,对于碱中毒处理后的催化剂,其表面吸附NH3的能力大大削弱,这时脱硝效率除了受催化剂氧化还原能力影响,在很大程度上也依赖于催化剂的表面酸性.     

Liquefaction of solid-state BH3NH3 by gaseous NH3

This paper reports for the first time that under ammonia atmosphere, ammonia borane (AB) reversibly absorbs up to at least 6 equiv of NH(3), forming liquid AB(NH(3))(n) (n = 1-6) complexes at 0 °C. Reasonable structures for AB(NH(3))(n) were identified via density functional theory calculations, which indicate that the strong classical hydrogen bond formed between the lone pair of NH(3) and the -NH(3) of AB is the driving force for the absorption of ammonia by AB. By use of the van't Hoff equation, the enthalpy change (ΔH) for AB to absorb one NH(3) was determined to be -2.24 kcal/mol, which is in good agreement with the theoretical calculations. Other organic amines were screened to further confirm the role of the N lone pair; only 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) formed a stable adduct, which X-ray structural analysis showed was the DABCO-BH(3) species. Finally, Raman spectra of AB(NH(3))(n) were collected, and its unique spectral features are also discussed.     

First characterization of the ammine-ammonium complex [(NH4(NH3)4)2(mu-NH3)2]2+ in the crystal structure of [NH4(NH3)4][B(C6H5)4].NH3 and the [NH4(NH3)4]+ complex in [NH4(NH3)4][Ca(NH3)7]As3S6.2NH3 and [NH4(NH3)4][Ba(NH3)8]As3S6.NH3

The compound [NH4(NH3)4][B(C6H5)4].NH3 (1) was prepared by the reaction of NaB(C(6)H(5))(4) with a proton-charged ion-exchange resin in liquid ammonia. [NH(4)(NH(3))(4)][Ca(NH(3))(7)]As(3)S(6).2NH(3) (2) and [NH4(NH3)4][Ba(NH3)8]As3S6.NH3 (3) were synthesized by reduction of As(4)S(4) with Ca and Ba in liquid ammonia. All ammoniates were characterized by low-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. They were found to contain the ammine-ammonium complex with the maximal possible number of coordinating ammonia molecules, the [NH4(NH3)4]+ ion. 1 contains a special dimer, the [(NH4(NH3)4)2(mu-NH3)2]2+ ion, which is formed by two[NH4(NH3)4]+ ions linked by two ammonia molecules. The H(3)N-H...N hydrogen bonds in all three compounds range from 1.82 to 2.20 A (DHA = Donor-H...Acceptor angles: 156-178 degrees). In 2 and 3, additional H(2)N-H...S bonds to the thioanions are observed, ranging between 2.49 and 3.00 A (DHA angles: 120-175 degrees). Two parallel phenyl rings of the [B(C(6)H(5))(4)](-) anion in 1 form a pi...pi hydrogen bond (C...C distance, 3.38 A; DHA angles, 82 degrees), leading to a dimeric [B(C6H5)4]2(2-) ion.     

Synthesis and characterization of three novel cation-containing (NH4+/C3H7NH3+/NH3+C2H4NH3+) aluminum diphosphonates

Three new aluminum diphosphonates (C(3)H(7)NH(3))[AlF[(HO)O(2)PC(2)H(4)PO(3)]] (1) (orthorhombic, Pnma, a = 8.2048(1) A, b = 6.90056(6) A, c = 19.6598(4) A, Z = 4), (H(3)NC(2)H(4)NH(3))[Al(OH)(O(3)PC(2)H(4)PO(3))] (2) (monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 11.142(3) A, b = 7.008(2) A, c = 12.903(5) A, beta = 96.24(7) degrees, Z = 4), and (NH(4))(2)[AlF(O(3)PCH(2)PO(3))] (3) (orthorhombic, Cmcm, a = 16.592(2) A, b = 7.5106(9) A, c = 7.0021(9) A, Z = 4) have been synthesized by solvothermal methods in the presence of linear organic ammonium cations (for 1 and 2) and ammonium cations (for 3) and their structures determined using powder, microcrystal, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, respectively. All three materials contain a similar one-dimensional chain motif which is related to that found in the mineral Tancoite. This chain motif consists of corner-sharing octahedra (AlO(4)F(2) for 1 and 3 and AlO(6) for 2) linked together through the bridging CPO(3) tetrahedra of the diphosphonate groups. These chains are unusual in that each diphosphonate moiety acts as a bisbidentate ligand that is coordinated to the same two metal centers through both of the O(3)PC- groups of the diphosphonate ligand. The arrangement of the Tancoite-like chains and charge compensation cations in the structures of compounds 1-3 is seen to be dependent upon the nature of the diphosphonic acid and organoammonium/ammonium cations. Careful selection of these two components may provide a method to design future materials in this system.     

Freezing the polarization of CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbI3-xClx perovskite films

Thin films of methylammonium lead halides, CH₃NH₃PbI₃ and CH₃NH₃PbI_3-xCl_x, were deposited onto symmetrical microstructured electrode arrays of gold or platinum on Si/SiO₂ wafers. Polarization studies were carried out on perovskite films under vacuum in the dark. For poling, a constant voltage was applied to the samples while the temperature was cycled between 295 K and 4 K. The measured current densities depending on the temperature showed distinct characteristics relating strongly to the crystal phase and the dielectric properties of the perovskite films. Voltage sweeps were carried out at different scan rates at specific temperature intervals after poling. The polarization of the films due to the migration of iodide vacancies in direction of the blocking perovskite/metal interface was frozen almost up to room temperature. Charge carriers were only able to cross the blocking barrier and contribute to the current where the ions have accumulated during poling. All J-V curves showed hysteresis: inverted and regular hysteresis at room temperature and below, respectively. Inverted hysteresis originates from the slow accumulation of ions at the blocking barrier, while regular hysteresis arises from a distortion in the adjacent crystals which will be discussed.     

Photolysis of solid NH3 and NH3-H2O mixtures at 193 nm

We have studied UV photolysis of solid ammonia and ammonia-dihydrate samples at 40 K, using infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and microgravimetry. We have shown that in the pure NH(3) sample, the main species ejected are NH(3), H(2), and N(2), where the hydrogen and nitrogen increase with laser fluence. This increase in N(2) ejection with laser fluence explains the increase in mass loss rate detected by a microbalance. In contrast, for the ammonia-water mixture, we see very weak signals of H(2) and N(2) in the mass spectrometer, consistent with the very small mass loss during the experiment and with a <5% decrease in the NH(3) infrared absorption bands spectroscopy after a fluence of ~3 × 10(19) photons/cm(2). The results imply that ammonia-ice mixtures in the outer solar system are relatively stable under solar irradiation.     

Immobilization of Biomolecules on NH3, H2/NH3 Plasma-Treated Nitrocellulose Films

Detectors with covalently immobilized bioactive compounds able to interact with selected analytes are needed for various kinds of biosensors. Protein macromolecules can be immobilized covalently on surfaces with appropriate functional groups such as amine groups. Low pressure plasmas of NH₃ and NH₃/H₂ mixtures were used to incorporate a maximum of 2.4 amine functions per nm² of porous surface under specific conditions. A mechanism of the functionalization process was proposed using on-line emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry analysis to monitor the reaction process. The physico-chemical modifications created on the plasma-treated material were investigated by surface analytical techniques such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).     

钙钛矿CH3NH3PbI3晶体的电化学

电化学方波伏安及循环伏安测量表明,钙钛矿CH₃NH₃PbI₃晶体在有机电解质中的氧化还原过程伴随着化学降解。该化学降解源于CH₃NH₃PbI₃晶体中铅离子的还原以及碘离子的氧化。通过电化学伏安法可以测定晶体的能带。     

Addition of NH3 to Al3O3-

Recent computational studies on the addition of ammonia (NH3) to the Al3O3- cluster anion [A. Guevara-Garcia, A. Martinez, and J. V. Ortiz, J. Chem. Phys. 122, 214309 (2005)] have motivated experimental and additional computational studies, reported here. Al3O3- is observed to react with a single NH3 molecule to form the Al3O3NH3- ion in mass spectrometric studies. This is in contrast to similarly performed studies with water, in which the Al3O5H4- product was highly favored. However, the anion PE spectrum of the ammoniated species is very similar to that of Al3O4H2-. The adiabatic electron affinity of Al3O3NH3 is determined to be 2.35(5) eV. Based on comparison between the spectra and calculated electron affinities, it appears that NH3 adds dissociatively to Al3O3-, suggesting that the time for the Al3O3-NH3 complex to either overcome or tunnel through the barrier to proton transfer (which is higher for NH3 than for water) is short relative to the time for collisional cooling in the experiment.     

Generation of nanopores during desorption of NH3 from Mg(NH3)6Cl2

It is shown that nanopores are formed during desorption of NH3 from Mg(NH3)6Cl2, which has been proposed as a hydrogen storage material. The system of nanopores facilitates the transport of desorbed ammonia away from the interior of large volumes of compacted storage material. DFT calculations show that there exists a continuous path from the initial Mg(NH3)6Cl2 material to MgCl2 that does not involve large-scale material transport. Accordingly, ammonia desorption from this system is facile.
