Efficient CO2 to CO conversion at moderate temperatures enabled by the cobalt and copper co-doped ferrite oxygen carrier

Chemical looping technology holds great potential on efficient CO2 splitting with much higher CO production and CO2 splitting rate than photocatalytic processes.Conventional oxygen carrier requires high temperature(typically 850–1000°C)to ensure sufficient redox activity,but the stable and high CO2 conversion is favored at a lower temperature,leading to the degrading on the reaction kinetics as well as the low CO production and CO2 splitting rate.In this paper,we prepared several ternary spinels and demonstrated their performance for chemical looping CO2 splitting at moderate temperatures.Using the promotion effect of Cu to cobalt ferrite reduction and reversible phase change of the reduced metals,Cu0.4 Co0.6 Fe2 O4 exhibits high CO2 splitting rate(144.6μmol g–1 min–1)and total CO production(9100μmol g–1)at 650°C.The high performance of this earth-abundant spinel material is also consistent in repeated redox cycles,enabling their potential in industrial use.     

Failure analysis of pouch-type Li–O2 batteries with superior energy density

Li–O2 batteries have attracted significant interest in the past decade owing to their superior high specific energy density in contrast to conventional lithium ion batteries.An 8.7-Ah Li–O2 pouch cell with768.5 Wh kg^-1 was fabricated and characterized in this investigation and the factors that influenced the electrochemical performance of the Li–O2 pouch cell were studied.In contrast to coin/Swagelok-type Li–O2 cells,it was demonstrated that the high-loading air electrode,pulverization of the Li anode,and the large-scale inhomogeneity of the large pouch cell are the major reasons for the failure of Li–O2 batteries with Ah capacities.In addition,safety tests of large Li–O2 pouch cells were conducted for the first time,including nail penetration,crushing,and thermal stability.It was indicated that a self-limiting mechanism is a key safety feature of these batteries,even when shorted.In this study,Li–O2 batteries were investigated in a new size and capacity-scale,which may provide useful insight into the development of practical pouch-type Li–O2 batteries.     

丹酚酸A 对H2O2 所致大鼠脑微血管内皮细胞氧化损伤保护的实验研究

目的 观察丹酚酸A 对H2O2所致大鼠脑微血管内皮细胞（RCMECs）氧化损伤的保护作用，并探讨其可能的作用机 制。方法 分离并培养大鼠脑微血管内皮细胞，用H2 O2 损伤的方法建立氧自由基损伤模型。采用丹酚酸A 进行干预后，分别测定细胞培养液中乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）活性、血栓素B2（TXB2）水平、6- 酮基前列腺素1α（6-keto-PGF1α）的含量，以及细胞内和培养液中脂质过氧化产物丙二醛（MDA）含量和超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）的活性。结果 H2O2致RCMECs 氧化损伤后，细胞LDH 释放水平、TXB2和MDA 的含量均明显增加，同时6-keto-PGF1α 含量和SOD 活性显著下降；而丹酚酸A 预处理后能呈浓度依赖性的降低RCMECs 氧化损伤后LDH 水平、TXB2含量和细胞内外的MDA 含量，提高受损细胞6-keto-PGF1α 的表达和细胞内外SOD 活性。结论 丹酚酸A 对H2O2所致RCMECs 氧化损伤具有保护作用，其机制可能与其抗氧化作用有关。

Mass and isotopic concentrations of water-insoluble refractory carbon in total suspended particulates at Mt.Waliguan Observatory(China)

Mass concentration and isotopic values δ¹³C and ¹⁴C are presented for the water-insoluble refractory carbon（WIRC） component of total suspended particulates（TSP）,collected weekly during 2003,as well as from October 2005 to May 2006 at the WMO-GAW Mt.Waliguan（WLG） site.The overall average WIRC mass concentration was（1183±120）ng/m³（n = 79）,while seasonal averages were 2081 ±1707（spring）,454±205（summer）,650±411（autumn）,and 1019±703（winter） ng/m3.Seasonal variations in WIRC mass concentrations were consistent with black carbon measurements from an aethalometer,although WIRC concentrations were typically higher,especially in winter and spring.The δ¹³C PDB value（-25.3 ± 0.8）%.determined for WIRC suggests that its sources are C₃ biomass or fossil fuel combustion.No seasonal change in δ¹³C PDB was evident.The average percent Modern Carbon（pMC） for ¹⁴C in WIRC for winter and spring was（67.2 ± 7.7）%（n = 29）.Lower pMC values were associated with air masses transported from the area east of WLG,while higher pMC values were associated with air masses from the Tibetan Plateau,southwest of WLG.Elevated pMC values with abnormally high mass concentrations of TSP and WIRC were measured during a dust storm event.

Ni–Al composite hydroxides fabricated by cation–anion double hydrolysis method for high-performance supercapacitor

Chemical doping of nickel hydroxide with other cations(e.g. Al~(3+)) is an efficient way to enhance its electrochemical capacitive performances. Herein, a simple cation–anion(Ni~(2+)and AlO_2) double hydrolysis method was developed toward the synthesis of nickel–aluminum(Ni–Al) composite hydroxides. The obtained composite hydroxides possesses a porous structure, large surface area(121 m~2/g) and homogeneous element distribution. The electrochemical test shows that the obtained composite hydroxides exhibits a superior supercapacitive performances(specific capacitance of 1670F/g and rate capability of 87% from 0.5 A/g to 20 A/g) to doping-free nickel hydroxide(specific capacitance of 1227 F/g and rate capability of 47% from 0.5 A/g to 20 A/g). Moreover, the galvanostatic charge/discharge test displays that after 2000 cycles at large current density of 10 A/g, the composite hydroxides achieves a high capacitance retention of 98%, indicative of an excellent electrochemical cycleability.     

Microporous Hypercross-linked Conjugated Quinonoid Chromophores of Anthracene: Novel Polymers for CO2 Adsorption

Microporous hypercross-linked conjugated quinonoid chromophores represent a novel class of amorphous polymers, synthesized by the reaction of anthracene with dimethoxy methane in the presence of FeCl3 catalyst. Their N2 adsorption isotherms confirm their microporous nature. Diffuse reflectance UV-Visible(DRS UV-Vis) spectroscopy confirms their matrix built with the conjugated quinonoids by their broad light absorption characteristics extending from 1000 nm to 200 nm with the absorbance maximum close to 400 nm. The catalyst cross-linked anthracene with ―CH2― bridges and subsequently dehydrogenating them to form quinonoids. Their Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectra showed their characteristic quinonoid vibrations between 1600 and 1700 cm-1. The synthesis of polymers was carried out at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 ℃, but the quinonoid content of the polymer obtained at 80 ℃ was higher than that of the others. Their scanning electron microscopy(SEM) images showed microspheres of 1 to 5 μm size built with tiny particles. Their surfaces were not smooth. The polymer synthesized at 80 ℃ showed 5.1 wt% CO2 sorption at 25 ℃ and 0.1 MPa, but when it was recross-linked, the CO2 sorption increased to 8 wt%. Hence, hypercross-linked conjugated quinonoid chromophores of anthracene are good for sorption of CO2.     

元素缺乏分四个阶段

<正>起始缺乏阶段:其特征为由于摄入不足而引起的元素本身的代谢变化,这是在供应不足的一段时间内所起的代偿变化,因此检查不出生物结构和功能紊乱。起始缺乏阶段在增加元素摄入后可恢复到正常状态;如果摄入量仍然保持在边缘水平,可能持续整个生命期;当摄入更严重限制时可导致第二阶段。起始缺乏阶段本身对健康没有不利后果,但它代表缺乏的危险性增加,安全界限降低。     

In situ synthesis of Ag-SiO2 Janus particles with epoxy functionality for textile applications

A facile method for the synthesis of silver-silica（Ag-SiO₂） Janus particles with functionalities suitable for textile applications is reported.Silica nanoparticles prepared by the Stober method were functionalized with epoxy,amine,and thiol groups,which were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared analysis.The functionalized silica nanoparticles were used to produce Pickering emulsions,and the exposed surface was used for the attachment of silver nanoparticles（AgNPs） via the low-temperature chemical reduction method.The morphology and structure of the Ag-SiO₂ Janus particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,scanning transmission electron microscopy,high-resolution transmission electron microscopy,energy-dispersive X-ray analysis,and UV-vis spectroscopy.Because of their specific functionalities,these Ag-SiO₂ Janus particles are proposed for applications on textile substrates,as they can overcome several drawbacks of direct application of AgNPs on textiles,such as leaching,agglomeration,and instability during storage.
