Salen–Mg-doped NH2–MIL-101(Cr) for effective CO2 adsorption under ambient conditions

A novel metal-doped metal–organic framework (MOF) was developed by incorporating salen–Mg into NH₂–MIL-101(Cr) structure under ambient conditions. The Schiff base complex was successfully prepared by condensing salicylaldehyde with a free amino group and then coordinating metal ions. Such a structure can endow the sample with higher CO₂ adsorption performance. At 0°C and 1 bar, the salen–Mg-modified sample achieves the maximum adsorption capacity of 2.18 mmol g⁻¹ for CO₂, which was 5.8% higher than the pristine salen–MOF under the same conditions. Notably, the Freundlich model indicates that the CO₂ adsorption process of all samples conforms to reversible adsorption. However, the correlation coefficients (R²) of the Mg-doped sample are lower than that of the pristine sample. Besides, the CO₂/N₂ adsorption selectivity and isosteric heat also show a similar trend. These results indicate that the salen–Mg can enhance the interaction between the material and CO₂ molecules.     

热熔还原法制备超硬复合相氮化碳及其工艺探索

本文采用热熔还原法,以聚氯乙烯、氯化铵、氧化铁为原料制备复合超硬相氮化碳(α/β-C3 N4).采用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)以及透射电子显微镜(TEM)对样品进行表征.在此基础上分析了不同温度和原料配比下合成复合相C3 N4的物相组成及形貌变化.结果表明样品形貌随着原料配比的不同在颗粒、棒状、纳米线之间转变.当C、N和Fe之间摩尔比为3:4:0.4时,所制备出的样品呈纳米线状,纳米线的直径约为15 nm,结晶性良好.而在其它配比下,只能获得棒状或颗粒状α/β复合相C3 N4.     

Flatness,plateau limit and limit length of single-plateau functions

In this paper we consider iteration of single-plateau functions, an important class of continuous functions with infinitely many forts, and investigate changes of number and length of plateaux under iteration.We use the indices flatness, plateau limit and limit length to formulate those changes. Furthermore, we compute the flatness, plateau limit and limit length for all the nine types of single-plateau functions.

Tantalum Nitride Nanosheets for Photoacoustic Imaging-Guided Photothermal Cancer Therapy

In this study, the synthesis of TaN nanosheets and their application in theranostic agents is reported. After coating polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the TaN nanosheets, the as-synthesized PEG-modified TaN nanosheets (TaN-PEG) show good stability and biocompatibility. Because of their high absorbance in the near-IR region, TaN-PEG can be utilized as photoacoustic imaging contrast agents for tumor imaging. Moreover, TaN-PEG has significant photothermal conversion performance, exhibiting effective laser-induced tumor ablation capability. The TaN-PEG possessing excellent photoacoustic contrast effect and photothermal properties thus have great promise in theranostic applications, especially imaging-guided cancer treatment.     

Study on the mechanism of catalytic synthesis of dimethyldichlorosilane by AlCl3/MIL‐53(Al)@γ‐Al2O3

Dimethyldichlorosilane, one of the most consumed organosilicon monomers in the industry, can be prepared in a highly efficient and environmentally friendly synthesis method of disproportionating methylchlorosilanes. However, the internal mechanism of the reaction remains unclear. In this paper, the mechanism catalyzed by AlCl₃/MIL‐53(Al) and AlCl₃/MIL‐53(Al)@γ‐Al₂O₃ catalysts was calculated at B3LYP/6‐311++G(3df, 2pd) level by using the density functional theory (DFT). The results showed that although the two catalysts had similar active structures, the catalytic effects were significantly different. The Lewis acid center on the surface of γ‐Al₂O₃ in the core‐shell catalyst is complementary to the classic Lewis acid AlCl₃ through the spatial superposition effect, which greatly improves the Lewis acid catalytic activity of AlCl₃/MIL‐53(Al)@γ‐Al₂O₃.
