Structural and optical properties of CdO nanowires synthesized from Cd(OH)2 precursors by calcination

CdO nanowires were produced by calcination process using Cd(OH)₂nanowires as precursors. The Cd(OH)₂ nanowires were synthesized via arc discharge method submerged in de‐ionized water. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of the as‐synthesized Cd(OH)₂ nanowires revealed that nanowire morphology was abundant form with the diameters range from 5 to 40 nm. In addition to the nanowire morphology, Cd(OH)₂ nanospheres and hexagonal shaped nanoparticles were also displayed. The Cd(OH)₂ nanostructures were used as precursors to produce CdO nanowires and calcinated in air at 400 °C for four hours. After calcination, the structural, morphological and optical properties of the as‐synthesized CdO nanowires were characterized by means of TEM, selected area electron diffraction (SAED), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and UV‐vis spectroscopy. The XRD and SAED techniques showed that the as‐synthesized Cd(OH)₂ nanostructures could be transformed into CdO nanostructures after the calcination process. TEM results revealed that the as‐synthesized CdO nanowires were 5–30 nm in diameter and shorter than corresponding Cd(OH)₂ nanowires. In addition, the diameters of the spherical or irregular CdO nanoparticles ranged from 20 nm to 50 nm. UV‐vis spectroscopy analysis was showed that the direct gap of the CdO nanowires were found to be 2.60 eV which is slightly higher than the earlier reported values of the bulk CdO for direct band gaps (2.3 eV) due to quantum size effect.

三维花状铜基复合物及其低温煅烧衍生物用于高效析氧反应

采用一种简单易行的方法来制备铜基电化学催化剂,该催化剂用于析氧反应。利用沸石咪唑酯骨架-67(ZIF-67)为前驱体,通过铜离子刻蚀合成新型铜基复合物(命名为Cu-NF)。它具有特殊的三维花状形貌和中孔结构,其形貌受铜离子与ZIF-67的质量比的影响。随后,Cu-NF经过低温煅烧处理,得到了不同温度下的衍生物,而煅烧过程并未改变其原始形貌。煅烧温度决定了活性物种的组成及含量,并增强了材料的多孔性。其中,300 ℃煅烧得到的产物Cu-NF-300具有最好的析氧反应性能：在 1.0 mol·L^-1 KOH 溶液中,过电位低达 347 mV,塔菲尔斜率为 93 mV·dec^-1。该材料电化学性能的提高归因于其三维结构以及低温煅烧所带来的活化作用。

热处理对SILAR法制备CuInSe2薄膜性能的影响

CuInSe₂ ternary films were prepared by successive ionic layer absorption and reaction (SILAR) method. The films were deposited on glass substrates at room temperature and subject to heat-treatment under Ar atmosphere at various calcination temperatures, and then characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), optical absorption spectroscopy. XRD results showed that chalcopyrite structure CuInSe₂ with high degree of preferred orientation towards (112) reflection could be obtained by post-heat treatment. The compositions of films calcined at 300～400 ℃ were close to the standard stoichiometry and Cl impurity decreased after calcination. The direct band gap increased from 0.94 eV to 0.98 eV with the increase of calcination temperature.     

焙烧温度对CuO/Fe2O3/ZrO2甲醇水蒸气重整制氢催化剂性能的影响

采用XRD、TPR和EXAFS等手段，考察了焙烧温度对CuO/Fe2O3/ZrO2物化性能和甲醇水蒸气重整制氢活性及其选择性的影响。结果表明，催化剂中氧化铜的晶粒随着焙烧温度的提高而增大，铜的配位环境发生变化。在焙烧温度623K－723K范围内，对甲醇水蒸气重整反应的甲醇转化率和氢选择性影响较小，其结构参数变化值较小。当焙烧温度提高到923K时，催化剂的活性因ZrO2晶化和铜组分的聚焦而显著降低。结果铁的加入使ZrO2的相变温度向后推移，并且有效地阻止了CuO颗粒的聚集。     

The calcination of limestone — Studies on the past, the presence and the future of a crucial industrial process

The calcination of limestone is one of the oldest technical processes and it is still of actual interest. Very early calcitic mortars from Turkey have been investigated and compared with materials of other early civilisations i.e. with Egyptian mortars containing gypsum as well as medieval dolomite-based mortars from alpine regions. Contemporary calcination procedures, in particular the cement production, range among the most important global industrial processes causing non neglectable environmental problems. Sustainable, solar energy assisted calcination technologies and the conversion of product CO₂ into useful commodities are discussed.The authors like to thank Prof. K. von Salis Perch-Nielson, Institute of Geology, ETH Zürich, for assistance in sedimentological investigations.
