Structural and spectroscopic properties of small Pun （n= 2-5） molecules

The equilibrium structures and the electronic, spectroscopic and thermodynamic properties of small Pu_n (n=2-5) molecules are systematically investigated using the methods of general gradient approximation (GGA) of density functional theory (DFT). The results show that the bond length of the lowest-energy structure of Pu₂ is 2.578 AA. The ground state structure of Pu₃ is a triangle with D_3h symmetry, whereas for Pu₄, the ground state structure is a square (D_4h) and the spin polarization of 16 for molecule Pu₅ with square geometry (D_4h) is the most stable structure. For the ground state structures, the vibrational spectra as well as thermodynamic parameters are worked out. In addition, the values for the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) along with the energy gap of all the Pu_2-5 structures are presented. The relevant structural and chemical stabilities are predicted.     

Progress in improving thermodynamics and kinetics of new hydrogen storage materials

Hydrogen storage material has been much developed recently because of its potential for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell applications. A successful solid-state reversible storage material should meet the requirements of high storage capacity, suitable thermodynamic properties, and fast adsorption and desorption kinetics. Complex hydrides, including boron hydride and alanate, ammonia borane, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), are remarkable hydrogen storage materials because of their advantages of high energy density and safety. This feature article focuses mainly on the thermodynamics and kinetics of these hydrogen storage materials in the past few years.     

THE USE OF VISCO-ELASTOPLASTIC DAMAGE CONSTITUTIVE MODEL TO SIMULATE NONLINEAR BEHAVIOR OF CONCRETE

A visco-elastoplastic damage constitutive model is proposed for simulating nonlinear behavior of concrete. Based on traditional plastic theory, the irreversible deformation is simulated in effective stress space. In order to reflect different stiffness degradation mechanism of concrete under tensile and compressive loading conditions, both tensile and compressive damage variables are introduced, and then on the basis of energy release rate, the model is firmly derived within the concept of irreversible thermodynamics. The rate-dependent model is considered by introducing viscous regularization into the inelastic strain and damage variable, and combined with an additional elastic condition. Fully implicit backward-Euler algorithm is used to perform constitutive integration. Results of numerical examples using the proposed model agree well with test results for specimens under uniaxial tension and compression, biaxial loading and triaxial loading. Failure processes of single-edge-notched (SEN) beam and double-edge-notched (DEN) specimen are also simulated to further validate the proposed model.

聚乙烯吡啶树脂对富马酸的吸附性能研究

通过静态吸附实验,研究了聚乙烯吡啶树脂(PVP)对富马酸的吸附性能。结果表明,该树脂对富马酸的吸附等温线同时满足Langmuir和Freundlich等温吸附方程;在无机盐存在下,与大孔强碱性树脂D204、弱碱树脂D308相比,PVP吸附富马酸的性能几乎不受无机盐的影响。D204树脂吸附富马酸是离子交换作用,D308树脂通过Lewis作用和静电作用吸附富马酸,而PVP树脂对富马酸的吸附行为是氢键所致,吸附为放热过程且能够自发进行。
