弱磁性Co0.85Se纳米片负载碳纳米管作为电催化析氢催化剂

氢气是一种环境友好可再生的清洁能源,电解水无疑是一种很好的制氢方法.然而,电催化分解水析氢受到其缓慢的动力学过程、较低的催化性能和较差的稳定性的限制.为了使整个过程更节能,具有高电流密度和低的过电势的高效电催化剂被广泛研究.非化学计量相硒化钴(Co0.85Se)作为一种重要的金属硫属化合物具有优异的催化性能而广受关注.但是低维的Co0.85Se活性位点少,分散性差,电子传递能力低,导致其电催化剂活性差.多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)具有多种电性能,包括金属导电性和电子存储能力等.因此,MWCNTs的特殊结构和高导电性可以有效地促进电子从电催化剂向碳纳米管的转移,实现高效电分解水制氢性能.本文在不使用表面活性剂和模板的情况下,通过一步水热溶剂热法合成弱磁性Co0.85Se纳米片负载碳纳米管电催化剂.采用磁滞回线研究Co0.85Se和MWCNTs/Co0.85Se的磁性能,结果表明其有弱顺磁性,Co0.85Se纳米片之间的空间距离增强导致粒子间偶极相互作用减弱,从而使MWCNTs/Co0.85Se纳米复合材料的矫顽力值增加到158 Oe.随着微晶尺寸的减小和纳米颗粒间距的增大,MWCNTs/Co0.85Se催化剂的比表面积增大,有利于提高其电催化活性.扫描电镜和透射电镜展示出Co0.85Se纳米片分散性较差,且团聚现象严重,而MWCNTs/Co0.85Se纳米复合催化剂显示Co0.85Se纳米片均匀分散在MWCNTs表面,且纳米片尺寸明显减小,有利于Co0.85Se纳米片暴露更多的活性位点.线性扫描伏安曲线测量表明,在酸性溶液中Co0.85Se纳米片在电流密度为10 mA cm?2时,其过电势为319 mV(vs.RHE),30 wt%MWCNTs/Co0.85Se的过电势为266 mV(vs.RHE).Co0.85Se和MWCNTs/Co0.85Se的Tafel斜率分别为92.6和60.5 mV dec?1.此外,MWCNTs/Co0.85Se的电流交换密度(j0)为0.07 mA cm?2.较小的Tafel斜率和高的电流交换密度表明,MWCNTs/Co0.85Se具有良好的反应动力学和快速的质子分离速率.交流阻抗谱表明MWCNTs/Co0.85Se比Co0.85Se电阻更小,电子传输速率更快.电化学活性表面积与双电层在固液界面处的电容测量值成正比.结果显示,30 wt%MWCNTs/Co0.85Se的双电层电容为0.22 mF cm^-2,高于Co0.85Se和15 wt%的rGO/Co0.85Se(0.04 mF cm^-2,0.17 mF cm^-2),这表明较大的电化学活性表面积有利于析氢反应进行.30 wt%MWCNTs/Co0.85Se的循环稳定测试表明其具有较好的稳定性.综上,本文介绍了通过一步水热法合成具有弱磁性的Co0.85Se和MWCNTs/Co0.85Se电催化剂,碳纳米管作为一种高导电性材料被引入Co0.85Se纳米片中以减少Co0.85Se的团聚,使Co0.85Se的活性位点增加,进而提高电催化制氢性能.

Formation of copper sols via reduction of Cu2+ ions in solutions of cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes

Zero-valence copper sols are prepared at 20°C via the chemical reduction of Cu(II) ions in aqueous solutions of high-molecular-mass cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes [(poly(1,2-dimethyl-5-vinylpyridium methyl sulfate) and poly(sodium styrenesulfonate), respectively]. In both sols, metal nanoparticles are characterized by narrow size distribution, indicating the pseudomatrix mechanism of their formation; however, the diameter of spherical copper particles formed in the polycation solution (3–14 nm) is much smaller than that of particles formed in the solution of polyanion (10–30 nm). Causes of different sizes of metal nano-particles formed in solutions of polyelectrolytes with different chain charges are discussed in terms of the pseudomatrix mechanism of new phase synthesis in polymer solutions and classical electrocapillary theory.     

Creation of highly stable selenium nanoparticles capped with hyperbranched polysaccharide in water

Water-dispersible selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) were created by using natural hyperbranched polysaccharide (HBP) as the stabilizer and capping agent under extremely safe conditions. The structure, morphology, size, and stability of the nanocomposites were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and static and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. The results revealed that the spherical selenium nanoparticles (mean particle size of about 24 nm) were ligated with HBP to form nanocomposites (Se-HBP) in aqueous solution and were stable for over one month. In our findings, supported by the results of FTIR, TEM, AFM, and DLS, SeNPs were capped with the HBP macromolecules, as a result of strong physical adsorption of OH groups on Se surfaces, leading to a highly stable structure of Se nanoparticles in water. This work provided reaction sites for the complexation between HBP and Se to fabricate well-dispersed Se nanoparticles in aqueous system with potential bioapplications.     

Preparation and characterization of Fe_3O_4/Au composite particles

Sensitivities of selenite, selenate, selenomethionine and trimethylselenonium ion in aqueous solution and in blood plasma-ETAAS compared with ICP-MS

Aqueous solutions and blood plasma spiked with selenite (Se(IV)), selenate (Se(VI)), selenomethionine (SeMet) or trimethylselenonium (TMSe) iodide were analyzed by Zeeman-corrected electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) using palladium as a chemical modifier, and by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Using ETAAS, the sensitivities for Se(IV), SeMet and TMSe in aqueous solution were similar, whereas the sensitivity of Se(VI) was 63% of that value. In blood plasma, the ETAAS sensitivities of Se(IV) and Se(VI) were equal, whereas the sensitivities of SeMet and TMSe were 87 and 56%, respectively, of that value. In contrast, the ICP-MS sensitivities obtained for Se(VI), TMSe and SeMet were between 96 and 98% of that obtained for Se(IV) in aqueous solution and in blood plasma. It is concluded, that ICP-MS is superior to ETAAS as the problem of differences in sensitivity of the selenium species when using ETAAS are not prevalent when using the ICP-MS technique.     

Photochemical behavior of inorganic and organic selenium compounds in various aqueous solutions

Selenium possesses interesting chemical, biochemical and geochemical behaviors. However, studies of its photochemical properties in aqueous systems are scarce. A better understanding of these phenomena is of great importance for further application of such properties to selenium speciation. In this work, the photochemical behavior of selenium and some of its organic compounds have been systematically studied in various aqueous matrices under UV irradiation at 300 nm. It was observed that the photochemical oxidation rate of Se(IV) to Se(VI) was greatly enhanced in the presence of HN0₃ at ≥1 × 10⁻³ M, but not by NaNO₃. However this photo-oxidation could be inhibited by the presence of Cl⁻. Under UV irradiation, organoselenium compounds went through two successive photochemical reactions in pure water: a direct photolysis (photo-cleavage) followed by a photo-oxidation to form Se(VI). These two steps could also be greatly accelerated in presence of NO₃⁻ although the second step required an acidic condition. The photo cleavage rates varied from one organic compound to another and 10-fold differences were observed. Similarly to Se(IV), the further oxidation to Se(VI) could be prevented by Cl⁻ for all studied organoselenium compounds. Detailed reaction mechanisms involving OH radicals are proposed to explain Se photochemical behaviors in different matrices.     

Application of photochemical reactions of Se in natural waters by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry

A simple, sensitive and accurate method for selenium speciation in natural waters is proposed. The principle of this method is based on recently discovered photochemical reactions of Se(IV) and organic selenium in different aqueous solutions. The speciation of all selenium species was performed with hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry. Only one pre-reduction step is needed in this procedure, which can greatly reduce the risk of contamination, minimize the analytical work and improve the quality of selenium speciation. In this paper, a comparison is made between the proposed method and a previous method [A.G. Cutter, Anal. Chim. Acta 98 (1978) 59]. In this proposed protocol, Se(IV) was directly measured in 3.0 M HCl. Se(IV) + org-Se was measured directly after a UV irradiation (300 nm) for 2.5 h in a 1.0% (v/v) HNO₃-2.0% (v/v) HCl matrix. Total selenium was obtained in another aliquot sample after a UV irradiation in the 3.0 M HCl. No pre-concentration, separation or more sophisticated instruments are required.
