Tungsten doped mesoporous SBA‐16 as novel heterogeneous catalysts for oxidation of cyclopentene to glutaric acid

Novel heterogeneous tungsten species in mesoporous silica SBA‐16 catalysts based on ship‐in‐a‐bottle methodology are originally reported for oxidizing cyclopentene (CPE) to glutaric acid (GAC) using hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). For all W‐SBA‐16 catalysts, isolated tungsten species and octahedrally coordinated tungsten oxide species are observed while WO₃ crystallites are detected for the W‐SBA‐16 catalysts with Si/ W = 5, 10, and 20. The specific surface areas and the corresponding total pore volumes decrease significantly as increasing amounts of tungsten incorporated into the pores of SBA‐16. Using tungsten‐substituted mesoporous SBA‐16 heterogeneous catalysts, high yield of GAC (55%) is achieved with low tungsten loading (for Si/W = 30, ~13 wt%) for oxidation of CPE. The W‐SBA‐16 catalysts with Si/W = 30 can be reused five times without dramatic deactivation. In fact, low catalytic activity provided by bulk WO₃ implies that the highly distributed tungsten species in SBA‐16 and the steric confinement effect of SBA‐16 are key elements for the outstanding catalytic performance.     

Facile fabrication of pomponlike microarchitectures of lanthanum molybdate via an ultrasound route

Pomponlike La₂(MoO₄)₃ microstructures assembled with single-crystalline nanoflakes have been facilely fabricated via a surfactant-assisted ultrasound route for the first time. Various synthesis conditions were examined, such as the surfactant concentration, the molecular structure of surfactants, and the pH value. The obtained pomponlike microstructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), (field-emission) scanning electron microscopy [(FE)SEM], transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms. It has been revealed that a minimum concentration of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) was required for the formation of pomponlike La₂(MoO₄)₃ microstructures. When the SDS concentration is above 0.02 mol L⁻¹, the pomponlike microstructures become more perfect, and the size is also increased with the increasing SDS concentration. Under the same sonication, similar pomponlike microstructures were obtained when a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), was used instead of the anionic surfactant SDS, indicating that the hydrophobic alkyl chains are an important factor for the formation of the pomponlike La₂(MoO₄)₃ microstructures. It is also found that the pomponlike La₂(MoO₄)₃ microstructures can only be obtained within an optimal pH range of 8.0–9.0 under sonication. Based on TEM, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and solubilization experiment, a formation mechanism of pomponlike La₂(MoO₄)₃ microstructures was proposed, in which the collaborative action of surfactants and sonication plays a key role. Furthermore, the porosity of the pomponlike La₂(MoO₄)₃ microstructures were discussed.     

Double-image sharing encryption based on associated fractional Fourier transform and gyrator transform

<正>We present a novel method for realizing double-image encryption algorithm by combining the images in different transform domains.Two original images are encrypted into two interim images by fractional Fourier transform and gyrator transform,respectively.The two encrypted images can be obtained by means of the addition and subtraction of the two interim images.This is defined as a double-image sharing scheme,in which the original images are encrypted into two parts.The original images cannot be recovered only with any one of the two interim images.Numerical simulation experiments demonstrate the validity of the algorithm.
