钛酸锌的制备及其对高氯酸铵热分解的催化性能

ZnTiO₃ nanocrystals were prepared by sol-gel method, using Zn(NO₃)₂ and Ti(C₄H₉O)₄ in the topic. The as-prepared ZnTiO₃ nanocrystals were characterized by XRD, FTIR and TEM, and the catalytic performance of ZnTiO₃ nanocrystals of different contents for the ammonium perchlorate(AP)decomposition was investigated by thermal analysis. The results indicate that ZnTiO₃ with pure cube structure can be synthesized at 600 ℃ by this procedure,which was spheroid with particle size of about 60~100 nm. The results expressed that the low temperature decomposition peaks of AP is advanced by 17 ℃ and the high temperature decomposition peaks of AP is advanced by 24 ℃ when adding 5% nanoparticle ZnTiO₃ powder. The catalytic effects of ZnTiO₃ powders on the high temperature decomposition of AP are less than that of nanometer metal powders, but all the micron metal powders decrease the low decomposition temperature of AP.     

纳米铜粉对高氯酸铵热分解的影响

The decomposition behaviour of ammonium perchlorate (AP) has been investigated in the presence of Cu nanopowder by DTA. The results show that nanometer Cu powder decreased the first and second thermal decomposition temperature of AP by 35.1 ℃ and 130.2 ℃, respectively, and the DTA heat release of AP in the presence of Cu nanopowders increased to 1.20 kJ·g^-1, showing good catalytic effect on the thermal decomposition of AP. The catalytic effect of Cu micron-size powder on the thermal decomposition of AP was less than that of Cu nanopowder. With the increase in content, Cu nanopowder enhanced its catalytic effect on the high temperature decomposition of AP, however, it weakened its catalytic effect on the low temperature decomposition of AP. The mechanism of catalysis for the thermal decomposition of AP is as follows: (1) metal oxider acts as the intermedium in the process of election tranfer, (2) Cu nanopowder reacts with the decomposed product of AP, (3) Cu nanopowder has special surface effect.     

Room temperature solution-phase synthesis of flower-like nanostructures of [Ni3(BTC)2·12H2O] and their conversion to porous NiO

Hierarchical flower-like architectures of[Ni₃（BTC）₂·12H₂O]（BTC³=benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate） were successfully prepared by a simple solution-phase method under mild conditions without any template or surfactant.Phase-pure porous NiO nanocrystals were obtained by annealing the Ni-BTC complex without significant alteration in morphology.The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction techniques,field-emission scanning electron microscopy（FESEM）.transmission electron microscopy（TEM） and high-resolution TEM（HRTEM）.The catalytic effect of the NiO product was investigated on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate（AP） and it was found that the annealed NiO product has higher catalytic activity than the commercial NiO.     

纳米PbSnO3的制备及其燃烧催化性能的研究

Nanocomposite PbSnO₃was synthesized by coprecipitation method , and its phase evolution process was investigated. The particle size, crystal form, and phase of samples were determined with XRD, TEM and EDS. The catalytic actiyity of sample on the thermal decomposition of RDX was investigated by DSC. The results show that nanocomposite PbSnO₃with the diameter of 9 nm can be obtained by calcining at 600 ℃ for 2 h, which crystal is cubic (pyrochlore type). The catalytic actiyity of nanocomposite PbSnO₃on the thermal decomposition of RDX is much higher than that of normal PbSnO₃. The nanocomposite PbSnO₃can decrease the peak temperature of thermal decomposition of RDX from 240.1 ℃ to 236.5 ℃, and the decomposition enthalpy ΔH of RDX increases 722 J·g^-1 （about 70%）.     

铜/纳米金刚石复合物的结构及其对高氯酸铵热分解的催化作用

Nano-Copper and Cu/UDD (ultradispersed diamond) nanocomposites were separately prepared by reduction of CuCl₂ aqueous solution and that doped with 0.7%(weight percent) of ultra-dispersed diamond. The as prepared nano-crystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and electron paramagnetic resonance techniques (EPR). It was found that homogeneous nucleation dominated the aqueous reduction reaction at high concentration and the diameter of nano-copper decreased as the reaction time shortened, yet at lower concentration heterogeneous nucleation predominated and the doped UDD functioned as heterogeneous nucleation. Otherwise large number of free-radicals existed in the nano-composites. Both of nano-copper and Cu/UDD nanocomposites were strong catalysts for AP decomposition, with Cu/UDD being a more effective one. The higher decomposition temperature for AP was 119 ℃ lower than that without catalyst. And the exothermic quantity of decomposition was from 590 J·g^-1 to 1 400 J·g^-1 by mix 2% of the Cu/UDD nanocomposites.     

Controllable Synthesis of Titania Nanocrystals with Different Morphologies and Application to the Degradation of Phenol

Titania nanocrystals with different morphologies were prepared using the hydrothermal method via controlling the pH values of solution, the ratio of reactants, temperature, and time of the hydrothermal reaction. The experimental results showed that uniform rod-like titania particles with an average aspect ratio of 6：1 could be obtained under the conditions of pH=11, n（TBOT）：n（TEA）=1：2, hydrothermal treatment at 150 °C for 24 h. When pH〈10, spherical titania nanocrystals could be obtained; with increasing the pH value, the diameter became smaller. Finally, the smallest size of the particles could reach 7 nm. Nanocrystals with uniformly well-dispersed and perfect crystallographic form were obtained via the above method. Phenol was used as the degradation model for testing the photocatalytical activity of the titania nanocrystals with different morphologies.     

锐钛矿型TiO2水溶胶的低温制备及其表征

Anatase titanium dioxide hydrosol was prepared at low temperature by a simple method. The title material was characterized by TEM, XRD, FTIR and BET, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared TiO₂ was evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange solution under sunlight and the photocatalytic oxidation of acetone in air. The results showed that the titanium dioxide hydrosol was composed of anatase phase with average grain size of about 7 nm, and the crystallinity became more perfect with the increase of temperature. The BET surface areas were more than 220 m²·g^-1 for these samples. It is found that the photocatalytic activity was much better for the higher heat processing temperature. Especially, the photocatalytic activity of the sample with a heat treatment of 110 ℃ was better than that of P25. In addition, TiO₂ hydrosol also possessed good photocatalytic activity under the sunlight illumination.     

Morphology Control over the Organic Nanoparticles of 1,3-Diphenyl-5-（9-anthryl）-2-pyrazoline

The organic nanoparticles of a blue-light-emitting molecule, 1,3-diphenyl-5-(9-anthryl)-2-pyrazuline, were prepared by reprecipitation method using acetonitrile as the solvent for the molecular precursor. Three morphologies, spherical, doughnut-shaped and cubic, could be observed on the silicon substrate forthe nanoparfides by the volume-controlled addition of acetonitrile. The evolution of particle morphology as a function of acetonitrile addition was attributed to the variation of the growth habits of the particles in the different environment. The nanoparticles exhibit the novel photoluminescence spectra as compared to those of monomer and the bulk crystals.     

沉淀法合成纳米晶长余辉材料Y2O2S∶Eu3+，Ti

The long-lasting phosphorescent materials, yttrium oxysulfides doped by Eu and Ti, were systhesized by coprecipitation with their subsequent thermal decomposition in the presence of sulphur. The products were characterized by XRD, TEM, phosphorescent spectra, and thermoluminescence. The XRD results indicate that the lowest synthesis temperature is 700 ℃. From the TEM, the average diameter of particles was in the range of 60～120 nm, and augmented with the increase of temperature. The materials under UV excitation presented well afterglow from the transition of ⁵D_0,1 → ⁷F_J of Eu³⁺, and the persistent time was about 2 h. The long-lasting afterglow mechanism was discussed, too.     

Prediction of the isothermal behaviour of solid-gas systems from non-isothermal data

A new procedure for the prediction of the isothermal behaviour of the solid-gas system from non-isothermal data is suggested. It bypasses the use of various approximations of the temperature integral that ground the integral methods of prediction. The procedure was checked for: (1) simulated data corresponding to a first order reaction; (2) experimental data obtained in the isothermal and non-isothermal decompositions of ammonium perchlorate. For the simulated data, a very good agreement between calculated isotherms and those evaluated by means of the suggested procedure was obtained. A satisfactory agreement (errors in time evaluation corresponding to a given degradation lower than 18%, for 0.10￡a￡0.37 and lower than 10% for 0.37￡a￡0.70) was obtained for the experimental data corresponding to the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate. In this last case, the mentioned differences between experimental and calculated data can be due both to the inherent errors in the evaluation of the decomposition isotherms and to the dependence of the activation energy on the conversion degree. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
