INFLUENCE OF FRICTION ON THE MOTION OF BASE WITH AN ECCENTRIC ROTOR

偏心转子惯性力引起的底座运动受到地面摩擦的影响，与光滑情形的理论结果存在定性差异。转子逆时针匀速旋转的惯性力若小于构件总重，则底座随摩擦因子增加而出现连续、一次停顿和两次停顿的振动及完全静止的4种状态。因惯性力对正压力及摩擦力的影响，底座在连续及一次停顿的振动时右向位移较大；而底座跳起时如``蛤蟆夯'则整体向左移动。     

Unveiling the Layer‐Dependent Catalytic Activity of PtSe2 Atomic Crystals for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Two‐dimensional (2D) PtSe₂ shows the most prominent layer‐dependent electrical properties among various 2D materials and high catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and therefore, it is an ideal material for exploring the structure–activity correlations in 2D systems. Here, starting with the synthesis of single‐crystalline 2D PtSe₂ with a controlled number of layers and probing the HER catalytic activity of individual flakes in micro electrochemical cells, we investigated the layer‐dependent HER catalytic activity of 2D PtSe₂ from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. We clearly demonstrated how the number of layers affects the number of active sites, the electronic structures, and electrical properties of 2D PtSe₂ flakes and thus alters their catalytic performance for HER. Our results also highlight the importance of efficient electron transfer in achieving optimum activity for ultrathin electrocatalysts. Our studies greatly enrich our understanding of the structure–activity correlations for 2D catalysts and provide new insight for the design and synthesis of ultrathin catalysts with high activity.     

Study of nano‐Cu/SiO2 catalysts for highly selective hydrogenation of acetophenone

Hydrogenation of acetophenone over nano‐Cu/SiO₂ catalysts was investigated. The catalysts, prepared by a liquid precipitation method using various precipitating agents, were characterized using low‐temperature nitrogen adsorption, X‐ray diffraction, temperature‐programmed desorption of ammonia, hydrogen temperature‐programmed reduction, transmission electron microscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the catalysts prepared by a homogeneous precipitation method had better activity and stability than those prepared by a co‐precipitation method. The catalyst prepared using urea as precipitating agent had well‐dispersed copper species, high surface area and abundant pore structure. The catalytic performance and mechanism of the Cu/SiO₂ catalysts were further studied. It was found that the activity and stability of the catalysts could be improved by adjusting the proportion of Cu⁺/(Cu⁺ + Cu⁰). The sample prepared using urea as precipitating agent presented higher activity and selectivity. Also, the catalyst prepared using urea maintained a high catalytic performance while being continuously used for 150 h under the optimal reaction conditions.     

Polymer nanoparticles with a sensitive CO2‐responsive hydrophilic/hydrophobic surface

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles with a sensitive CO₂‐responsive hydrophilic/hydrophobic surface that confers controlled dispersion and aggregation in water were prepared by emulsion polymerization at 50 °C under CO₂ bubbling using amphiphilic diblock copolymers of 2‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and N‐isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAm) as an emulsifier. The amphiphilicity of the hydrophobic–hydrophilic diblock copolymer at 50 °C was triggered by CO₂ bubbling in water and enabled the copolymer to serve as an emulsifier. The resulting PMMA nanoparticles were spherical, approximately 100 nm in diameter and exhibited sensitive CO₂/N₂‐responsive dispersion/aggregation in water. Using copolymers with a longer PNIPAAm block length as an emulsifier resulted in smaller particles. A higher concentration of copolymer emulsifier led to particles with a stickier surface. Given its simple preparation and reversible CO₂‐triggered amphiphilic behavior, this newly developed block copolymer emulsifier offers a highly efficient route toward the fabrication of sensitive CO₂‐stimuli responsive polymeric nanoparticle dispersions. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pull-in Instability Analysis of Nanoelectromechanical Rectangular Plates Including the Intermolecular,Hydrostatic, and Thermal Actuations Using an Analytical Solution Methodology

The current paper presents a thorough study on the pull-in instability of nanoelectromechanical rectangular plates under intermolecular, hydrostatic, and thermal actuations. Based on the Kirchhoff theory along with Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory, a nonclassical model is developed. Using the Galerkin method(GM), the governing equation which is a nonlinear partial differential equation(NLPDE) of the fourth order is converted to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation(NLODE) in the time domain. Then, the reduced NLODE is solved analytically by means of the homotopy analysis method. At the end, the effects of model parameters as well as the nonlocal parameter on the deflection, nonlinear frequency, and dynamic pull-in voltage are explored.     

Ab initio structure and vibration-rotation dynamics of germylene,GeH2

Accurate structure and potential energy surface of germylene, GeH₂, in its ground electronic state ¹A₁ were determined from ab initio calculations using the coupled-cluster approach in conjunction with the correlation-consistent basis sets up to sextuple-zeta quality. The Born-Oppenheimer equilibrium structural parameters for the ¹A₁ state are estimated to be r_e(GeH) = 1.5793 Å and ∠_e(HGeH) = 91.19^∘. The term value T_e for the lowest excited electronic state ã³B₁ of GeH₂ is predicted to be 9140 cm^–1. The vibration-rotation energy levels for the ¹A₁ state of the ⁷⁴GeH₂, ⁷⁴GeD₂, ⁷²GeH₂, and ⁷⁰GeH₂ isotopologues were determined using a variational approach and compared with the experimental data. The role of the core-electron correlation, higher-order valence-electron correlation, scalar relativistic, spin-orbit, and adiabatic effects for prediction of the structure and vibration-rotation dynamics of the GeH₂ molecule is discussed. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Impregnated copper ferrite on mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride: An efficient and reusable catalyst for promoting ligand‐free click synthesis of diverse 1,2,3‐triazoles and tetrazoles

Magnetic CuFe₂O₄/g‐C₃N₄ hybrids were synthesized through a facile method and their catalytic performances were evaluated in click chemistry for the first time. The structural and morphological characterization of prepared materials was carried out by different techniques such as X‐ray diffraction, high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, thermogravimetric analysis, and N₂ adsorption–desorption analysis (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area). The utilization of magnetic CuFe₂O₄/g‐C₃N₄ enabled superior performance in the one‐pot azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction in water using alkyl halides and epoxides as azide precursors without the need of any additional agents. The present system is broad in scope and especially practical for the synthesis of macrocyclic triazoles and also tetrazoles. In addition, the catalytic system highly fulfills the demands of “green click chemistry” with its convenient conditions, especially easy access to a variety of significant products in low catalyst loading and simple work‐up and isolation procedure.     

Nonintrusive data-based learning of a switched control heating system using POD,DMD and ANN

The aim of this work is to derive an accurate model of two-dimensional switched control heating system from data generated by a Finite Element solver. The nonintrusive approach should be able to capture both temperature fields, dynamics and the underlying switching control rule. To achieve this goal, the algorithm proposed in this paper will make use of three main ingredients: proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) and artificial neural networks (ANN). Some numerical results will be presented and compared to the high-fidelity numerical solutions to demonstrate the capability of the method to reproduce the dynamics.     

Ill-posedness of the Camassa–Holm and related equations in the critical space

We prove norm inflation and hence ill-posedness for a class of shallow water wave equations, such as the Camassa–Holm equation, Degasperis–Procesi equation and Novikov equation etc., in the critical Sobolev space $H^{3/2}$ and even in the Besov space $B_{p,r}^{1+1/p}$ for $p\in [1,\infty ],r\in (1,\infty ]$. Our results cover both real-line and torus cases (only real-line case for Novikov), solving an open problem left in the previous works ([5], [14], [16]).
