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.     

Methane dehydroaromatization with periodic CH4-H2 switch:A promising process for aromatics and hydrogen

Long-term stability test of Mo/HZSM-5-N catalysts(HZSM-5-N stands for nano-sized HZSM-5) in methane dehydroaromatization(MDA)reaction has been performed with periodic CH4-H2 switch at 1033-1073 K for more than 1000 h.During this test,methane conversion ranges from 13% to 16%,and mean yield to aromatics(i.e.benzene and naphthalene) exceeds 10%.N2-physisorption,XRD,NMR and TPO measurements were performed for the used Mo/HZSM-5 catalysts and coke deposition,and the results revealed that the periodic hydrogenation can effectively suppress coke deposition by removing the inert aromatic-type coke,thus ensuring Mo/HZSM-5 partly maintained its activity even in the presence of large amount of coke deposition.The effect of zeolite particle size on the catalytic activity was also explored,and the results showed that the nano-sized zeolite with low diffusion resistance performed better.It is recognized that the size effect was enhanced by reaction time,and it became more remarkable in a long-term MDA reaction even at a low space velocity.     

一种饱和Keggin硅钨酸盐过渡金属衍生物[Cu(biim)_2]_4[α-SiW_(12)O_(40)]_2·4H_2O（英文）

在水热环境下,将Na10[α-SiW9O34]爛18H2O和CuCl2爛2H2O在2,2′-联咪唑和4,4′-联吡啶存在下反应合成一种饱和Keggin硅钨酸盐杂化物[Cu(biim)2]4[α-SiW12O40]2爛4H2O(1),并通过红外光谱,X射线光电子能谱和X射线单晶衍射进行了结构表征.化合物1分子包含2个中性的Keggin[Cu(biim)2]2[α-SiW12O40]单元和4个结晶水分子.值得注意的是在[α-SiW12O40]4-单元中,与硅原子相连的每个氧原子无序排列在两个位置,这导致了硅原子呈现立方体的几何构型.中性Keggin型[Cu(biim)2]2[α-SiW12O40]单元具有中心对称性,两个[Cu(biim)2]2+配离子对称连接在[α-SiW12O40]4-的两端.邻近的[Cu(biim)2]2[α-SiW12O40]单元之间通过氢键作用形成三维的超分子结构.

Advances in high carbon dioxide separation performance of poly(ethylene oxide)-based membranes

Poly(ethylene-oxide)(PEO)-based membranes have attracted much attention recently for CO2 separation because CO2 is highly soluble into PEO and shows high selectivity over other gases such as CH4 and N2.Unfortunately,those membranes are not strong enough mechanically and highly crystalline,which hinders their broader applications for separation membranes.In this review discussions are made,as much in detail as possible,on the strategies to improve gas separation performance of PEO-based membranes.Some of techniques such as synthesis of graft copolymers that contain PEO,cross-linking of polymers and blending with long chains polymers contributed significantly to improvement of membrane.Incorporation of ionic liquids/nanoparticles has also been found effective.However,surface modification of nanoparticles has been done chemically or physically to enhance their compatibility with polymer matrix.As a result of all such efforts,an excellent performance,i.e.,CO2 permeability up to 200 Barrer,CO2/N2 selectivity up to 200 and CO2/CH4 selectivity up to 70,could be achieved.Another method is to introduce functional groups into PEO-based polymers which boosted CO2 permeability up to 200 Barrer with CO2/CH4 selectivity between 40 and 50.The CO2 permeability of PEO-based membranes increases,without much change in selectivity,when the length of ethylene oxide is increased.     

粗糙床面物质交换特性及其主导机制实验研究

粗糙底床泥-水界面区域的物质交换过程不仅与水动力作用有关,还涉及到底床物理特性和床面形态的影响.为研究粗糙底床渗透率和床面微地形对泥-水界面物质交换过程的综合影响,通过实验室环形水槽实验,测量得到不同砂质平整底床和存在离散粗糙元床面条件下,泥-水界面物质交换通量和有效扩散系数的定量数据和变化特征,并采用参数化方法分析无量纲控制参数变化范围内界面物质交换特性的主导机制.实验结果表明,粗糙底床渗透率和床面微地形共同对泥-水界面物质交换过程起重要作用.与平整底床相比,离散粗糙元局部绕流结构驱动的附加泵吸交换不同程度增大了界面物质交换通量,其增强效应与底床渗透率和床面粗糙度的变化密切相关.随底床渗透率和床面粗糙度的增大,有效扩散系数总体呈增大趋势,湍流渗透对界面物质交换的影响趋于增强,而泵吸交换的相对贡献趋于减弱.因此,分析存在床面微地形粗糙底床的主导界面物质交换机制,需要考虑底床渗透率和床面粗糙度的综合影响.

非晶态固体的结构可以决定性能吗?

晶态固体的力学性能与塑性变形主要由结构缺陷, 比如位错的运动决定. 而在非晶态固体中结构如何决定性能, 仍然是固体力学、材料学和凝聚态物理学共同关心但尚未解决的核心问题之一.传统材料学研究的经典范式为"结构决定性能". 遵循这一信条, 已经有大量的实验表征与理论、模拟研究, 尝试将非晶态固体的某种结构特征与性能建立一一对应关系. 但是, 科学界对于非晶固体结构-性能关系成立与否, 以及背后隐藏的规律知之甚少. 本文针对非晶态固体的变形机制以及其微结构特征, 基于分子动力学模拟, 定量评估短程简单结构与中长程复杂结构在决定非晶态固体动力学性能方面的效用. 通过海量抽样每种具体玻璃结构的激活能(标识激发难易程度), 尝试将结构参数与激活能建立定量关系, 从而揭示出非晶态固体结构-性能关系的隐藏主控因素为结构的空间关联, 受限比几何结构本身更关键. 只有某种结构在空间上呈现亚纳米级的空间关联长度, 这种完备结构才有可能有效地决定非晶态固体的力学性能, 而短程简单结构则无效. 进一步, 给出了评价非晶态固体结构预测性能有效性的普适定量方法, 为建立广义无序物质的结构-性能关系提供了筛选准则.
