PtM/MxBy (M=Ni,Co, Fe) Heterostructured Nanobundles as Advanced Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Optimizing the electronic and synergistic effect of hybrid electrocatalysts based on Pt and Pt-based nanocatalysts is of tremendous importance towards a superior hydrogen evolution performance under both acidic and alkaline conditions. However, developing an ideal Pt-based hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst with moderated electronic structure as well as strong synergistic effect is still a challenge. Herein, we fabricated boron (B)-doped PtNi nanobundles by a two-step method using NaBH₄ as the boron source to obtain PtNi/Ni₄B₃ heterostructures with well-defined nanointerfaces between PtNi and Ni₄B₃, achieving an enhanced catalytic HER performance. Especially, the PtNi/Ni₄B₃ nanobundles (PtNi/Ni₄B₃ NBs) can deliver a current density of 10 mA cm⁻² at the overpotential of 14.6 and 26.5 mV under alkaline and acidic media, respectively, as well as outstanding electrochemical stability over 40 h at the current density of 10 mA cm⁻². Remarkably, this approach is also universal for the syntheses of PtCo/Co₃B and PtFe/Fe₄₉B with outstanding electrocatalytic HER performance.     

谷氨酸甲基化修饰的基质辅助激光解吸电离-串联飞行时间质谱分析

利用基质辅助激光解吸电离-串联飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF/TOF)高置信度地鉴定了枯草芽孢杆菌中的蛋白酶抑制剂和杆菌肽F两种蛋白及其翻译后修饰,发现在这两种蛋白质中共有5个肽段发生谷氨酸甲基化,其中肽段FELVVYDSEHK存在FE(Methylation)LVVYDSEHK和FELVVYDSE(Methylation)HK两种形式。结果表明,MALDI-TOF/TOF高能CID所提供的丰富断裂信息和全质量范围扫描对提高分析结果的确定性具有重要作用。此外,这5个甲基化肽段都可以检测到相对含量更高的非甲基化肽段,这为降低分析结果的假阳性提供了辅助判据。在低质量区检测到甲基化赖氨酸的亚胺相关离子m/z 98和143,说明发生了赖氨酸的甲基化;检测到m/z 116则提示发生了谷氨酸甲基化。     

Analytical layer-element solutions of Biot’s consolidation with anisotropic permeability and incompressible fluid and solid constituents

Based on the governing equations of 2D plane-strain Biot’s consolidation, the relationship between generalized displacements and stresses of a single soil layer with anisotropic permeability and incompressible fluid and solid constituents is described by an analytical layer-element, which is deduced in the Laplace–Fourier transform domain by using the eigenvalue approach. Taking the boundary conditions and the continuity of the soil layers into consideration, a global stiffness matrix is subsequently assembled and solved. As to the 3D case, the same derivation is employed after the application of a decoupling transformation. The actual solutions in the physical domain can further be acquired by inverting the Laplace–Fourier transform. Finally, numerical examples are carried out to verify the presented theory and discuss the influence of the anisotropic permeability on the consolidation behavior.

Temperature dependence of OH uptake by carbonaceous surfaces of atmospheric importance

Although OH uptake by carbonaceous surfaces is very efficient, it is thought to be negligible to affect the OH and O₃ balance in the lower troposphere. To estimate its contribution in the upper troposphere, we have studied the temperature dependence of OH uptake by carbonaceous surfaces of atmospheric importance over the temperature range from 218 to 298 K. We found that the OH uptake coefficient is weakly dependent of temperature, ranging from 0.1 to 1, as was measured under flow conditions using chemical ionization mass spectrometry. This finding was further used to estimate OH loss on carbonaceous aerosol under upper tropospheric conditions. Our calculations suggested that OH heterogeneous loss may represent a notable sink for OH in the upper troposphere, which is due to both the significantly lower diffusion limitation and weakly temperature-dependent OH uptake. The obtained results may be thus important for aerosol chemistry of the upper troposphere.     

Phase fluctuation of self-phase-controlled stimulated Brillouin scattering waves via K8 glass

As stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) materials, solids have many advantages such as compactness, innoxiousness, and ease of handling. The SBS threshold and reflectivity of K8 glass, a solid material, are investigated. A SBS phase control experiment using K8 glass to achieve coherent beam combination is performed with a self-phase-control technique below the optical damage threshold. The experimental results show that the short-term phase has been stabilized well with λ/33.8 fluctuation during 256 shots (25.6 s), and that the long-term phase change with non-convective K8 glass is much slower than that with convective HT-70 liquid.     

First-principles study of structural stability and elastic property of pre-perovskite PbTiO3

The structural stability and the elastic properties of a novel structure of lead titanate,which is named preperovskite PbTiO₃ （PP-PTO） and is constructed with TiO₆ octahedral columns arranged in a one-dimensional manner,are investigated by using first-principles calculations.PP-PTO is energetically unstable compared with conventional perovskite phases,however it is mechanically stable.The equilibrium transition pressures for changing from preperovskite to cubic and tetragonal phases are 0.5 GPa and 1.4 GPa,respectively,with first-order characteristics.Further,the differences in elastic properties between pre-perovskite and conventional perovskite phases are discussed for the covalent bonding network,which shows a highly anisotropic character in PP-PTO.This study provides a crucial insight into the structural stabilities of PP-PTO and conventional perovskite.
