Electrochemical behavior of uranyl in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride mixture with water

Electrochemical behaviors of U(VI) in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C₄MimCl) with various water contents investigated by chronopotentiometry and cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical reduction of U(VI) was identified to follow two processes: a lower valence intermediate U(V) was initially formed at the potential of ca. ?0.2 V(vs. Ag wire). Then, further deposition of UO₂ was followed at around ?0.8 V. Little amount of water (1–4 wt%) in C₄MimCl, however, has an effect on the U(VI) reduction by changing the current density of the redox reaction and the diffusion coefficient of U(VI) in C₄MimCl. The deposited product by potentiostatic electrolysis on the surface of stainless steel electrode was characterized by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Although the electrodeposited black film was amorphous, the electrochemical reduced product of U(VI) can be still confirmed to be UO₂ by XRD after the crystallization of the amorphous deposits at 1,073 K in nitrogen atmosphere.

酸性金属氧化物对锰铈氧化物催化剂脱硝温度窗口的调控作用

利用溶胶-凝胶法,采用三种酸性金属氧化物（氧化铌、氧化钨和氧化钼）对锰铈复合氧化物催化剂进行了改性. 测试了催化剂的氮氧化物选择性催化还原（SCR）活性,以筛选对应不同温度窗口的合适酸性氧化物改性剂. 同时评价了催化剂的NO氧化和NH₃氧化活性. 利用X射线衍射、BET比表面积测试、H₂程序升温还原、NH₃/NO_x程序升温脱附和NH₃/NO_x吸附红外光谱等手段对催化剂进行了表征. MnO_x-CeO₂催化剂表现出良好的低温（100-150 ℃）活性. 酸性金属氧化物的添加削弱了催化剂的氧化还原特性,从而抑制了NH₃的活化和NO₂辅助的快速SCR反应. 与此同时,相对高温（250-350 ℃）区NH₃的氧化也受到了抑制,B酸和L酸上的NH₃吸附得以增强. 因此,催化剂的SCR脱硝温度窗口向高温移动,改性效果Nb₂O₅ < WO₃ < MoO₃.     

How polydispersity of network polymers influences strain-induced crystal nucleation in a rubber

Network polymers in a rubber or a gel often contain non-uniform chain lengths. By means of dynamic Monte Carlo simulations of polymer mixtures with various compositions of two chain lengths, we investigated how the factor of polydispersity influences their strain-induced crystal nucleation. Under a high temperature and a high strain rate, the stretching of both polymers revealed that crystal nucleation is mainly accelerated by the presence of short-chain polymers; nevertheless, both polymers join together in the nucleation process. Further analysis proved that crystal nucleation is initiated from those highly stretched short segments, which are rich on the short-chain polymers.     

Weak acid–base interaction induced assembly for the formation of rambutan-like poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride)/silica composite microspheres

To investigate the effect of surface functionality on the morphology of polymer/silica composite, poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (SMA) spheres prepared via precipitation polymerization method was employed. In water/ethanol solution, diethanolamine (DEA) was used to catalyze the hydrolysis reaction of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), and rambutan-like poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride)/silica (SMA/SiO₂) microspheres were synthesized through in situ sol–gel process. The obtained structure and morphology were characterized by FTIR, NMR, TEM, SEM, and TGA. The results showed that the hydrolyzed SMA chains on the surface was crucial to the nucleation and growth of silica, and the morphologies of SMA/SiO₂ composite microspheres can be controlled by the amount of DEA and the ratio of SMA/TEOS. In addition, the SMA/SiO₂ microspheres were used to prepare hierarchical structure of SMA/SiO₂/Ag particles, which were utilized for the construction of surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrate (SERS).

Universal distribution of limit points

We consider sequences of functions that have in some sense a universal distribution of limit points of zeros in the complex plane. In particular, we prove that functions having universal approximation properties on compact sets with connected complement automatically have such a universal distribution of limit points. Moreover, in the case of sequences of derivatives, we show connections between this kind of universality and some rather old results of Edrei/MacLane and Pólya. Finally, we show the lineability of the set what we call Jentzsch-universal power series.     

Three-Party Quantum Information Splitting of an Arbitrary Two-Qubit State by Using Six-Qubit Cluster State

We propose a scheme for splitting an arbitrary two-qubit state among three parties by using a six-qubit cluster-class state as a quantum channel. Based on two Bell-state measurements (BSMs) and a two-qubit projective measurement, any one of the two agents can reconstruct the original state if he/she collaborates with the other one, whilst individual agent obtains no information.
