A theoretical investigation of the interaction between H,Li, Na,K, and fullerenes

We studied the interaction between H, Li, Na, and K with one and two C₆₀ molecules using unrestricted Hartree–Fock (UHF) methods. We investigated the effects of distances between the doping atoms and the C₆₀ clusters, total charges, interaction energies, stabilities, HOMO‐LUMO energy differences, charge distribution, and potential energy surfaces. The effect of each doping atom was analyzed and potential technological applications discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2005     

Comparison of the Structural Information on Sol-Gel Systems Provided by Pyrene Labeled Fluorescent Probes

The influence of the acid catalyst concentration on the structural evolution of a sol-gel system was studied by doping TEOS based starting solutions with two fluorescent probes: a polystyrene chain (M _n =1700) and a much shorter alkane chain (M=172), both of them labeled at both ends with 1-pyrenyl. For this purpose, each probe was incorporated in two TEOS∶H₂O∶C₂H₅OH mixtures (molar ratios 1∶4∶1), one at pH 1.2 and the other at pH 2.5 (respectively below and above the isoelectric point of silica). Very low concentrations of the probes were used (≤10⁻⁶ M), so the pyrene dimmers and excimers were formed only intramolecularly. The ratios of excimer to monomer fluorescence intensities at excitation wavelength of 360 nm (where mainly the ground state pyrene dimmers are excited) were studied as a function of time. Different evolutions of these ratios were observed, which allowed us to predict that the silica structure developsvia the formation of primary particles, even at pH values below the isoelectric point of silica, where it is not possible to directly detect their formation.     

EPR study of ceria–silica and ceria–alumina catalysts: Localization of superoxide radical anions

Oxygen adsorption experiments were performed on evacuated and prereduced CeO₂/SiO₂ and CeO₂/Al₂O₃ catalysts with and without platinum. Considerable amounts of the superoxide radical ions were stabilized on all the samples. Signal parameters suggest Ce⁴⁺–O₂⁻ positioning for all detectable superoxide species. Physisorbed oxygen broadens O₂⁻ signal beyond detection for all the alumina-based samples, while the same procedure for all the silica-based samples did not change signal shape of O₂⁻ species. Detectable O₂⁻ species are localized in the bulk of ceria and the nature of support (silica or alumina) determines the number of oxygen vacancies and the rate of electron transfer. XRD data suggest that for alumina-based samples small and/or thin islands of ceria dominate, while comparatively large ceria particles are stabilized on the surface of silica-based samples with the same ceria content. Average size of ceria crystallites is still not determining factor and cannot account for the observed differences. Higher concentrations of paramagnetic species may be stabilized on alumina-based samples and thus, sensor-like behavior towards gaseous oxygen at room temperature was detected for them—oxygen admission reversibly changes superoxide lineshape. For silica samples, only minor changes of O₂⁻ lineshapes were typical upon the change of the partial pressure of oxygen at ambient and low temperatures. Addition of platinum has little effect on parameters of the O₂⁻ signal, except an enhancement of the superoxide decay in the reducing media. Possible site for O₂⁻ stabilization inside the lattice of CeO₂ was proposed and relevance of the observed effects to the redox catalysis discussed.     

PHOTO-INDUCED DOPED POLYANILINE BY THE VINYLIDENE CHLORIDE AND METHYL ACRYLATE COPOLYMER AS PHOTO ACID GENERATOR

The emeraldine base form of polyaniline (PANI) can be doped by a photo-induceddoping method. In this method a copolymer of vinylidene chloride and methyl acrylate(VCMAC) was used as photo acid generator which can release proton when it is exposedto ultraviolet light (λ= 254 nm). The structure of PANI-VCMAC system before and afterirradiation was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, XPS, and SEM images. Resultsobtained indicate that the photo-induced doping characteristics, such as doping positionand type of charge carriers, are similar to that of PANI doped with HCl. The poor room-temperature conductivity (～10~(-5)S/cm) of PANI-VCMAC system after irradiation maybe due to low doping degree (～pH= 3) and the difference in morphology as compared withPANI-HCl film.

Transport in ceria electrolytes modified with sintering aids: effects on oxygen reduction kinetics

Small (2 mol%) cobalt oxide additions to ceria-gadolinia (CGO) materials considerably improve sinterability, making it possible to obtain ceramics with 95–99% density and sub-micrometre grain sizes at 1,170–1,370 K. The addition of Co causes a significant shift of the electrolytic domain to lower pO₂. This modification to the minor electronic conductivity of the electrolyte material has influence on the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction. The impedance technique is shown to provide information not only about polarisation resistance, but also about the active electrode area from analysis of the current constriction resistance. It is demonstrated that this current constriction resistance can be related to the minor electronic contributions to total conductivity in these materials. A simple imbedded grid approach gives control of the contact area allowing the properties of the electrolyte materials to be studied. A much lower polarisation resistance for the Co-containing CGO electrolyte is observed, which can be clearly attributed to an increased three-phase reaction area in the Co-containing material, as a consequence of elevated p-type conductivity.     

La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O3与La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.15Co0.05O3电导的对比

采用固相合成法制备了La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O3(LSGM8282)和La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.15Co0.05O3 (LSGMC5), 利用四电极交流阻抗法和Hebb-Wagner 极化法对比研究了两种材料的总电导率和电子电导率. 实验结果表明, LSGM8282 的总电导率与氧分压无明显依赖关系, 而LSGMC5 的总电导率在高氧分压区随氧分压降低而增加,在中等氧分压区域基本保持不变. 在973-1173 K的温度范围内, LSGM8282的自由电子电导率以及电子空穴电导率的氧分压级数分别为-1/4和1/4.在1073-1173 K的温度范围内, LSGMC5的自由电子电导率以及电子空穴电导率的氧分压级数分别为-1/4和约为1/8, 表明LSGMC5的空穴产生机制可能与LSGM8282不同. LSGM8282 的氧离子电导率与氧分压无关, 而LSGMC5 的氧离子电导率在高氧分压区随氧分压的减小而增加.     

Indium(I) bromide-mediated coupling of dibromoacetonitrile with aldehydes followed by Boord elimination of bromine and oxygen of β-bromo alkoxides for preparation of 3-organyl-2-alkenenitriles

The organoindium compound derived from indium monobromide and dibromoacetonitrile reacts with carbonyl compounds to afford the corresponding 2-bromo-2-cyano-indium(III) alkoxide. The action of a second equivalent of indium monobromide onto the alkoxides derived from aldehydes promotes the Boord elimination of the β-related oxygen and bromine atoms leading to 2-alkenenitriles.

硫酸介质中Ti／SnO2／PbO2析氧阳极的研究
