Organic Ligand‐Free Hydroformylation with Rh Particles as Catalyst†

Summary of main observation and conclusion An efficient and organic ligand-free heterogeneous catalytic system for hydroformylation of olefins is highly desirable for both academy and industry.In this study,simple Rh black was employed as a heterogeneous catalyst for hydroformylation of olefins in the absence of organic ligand.The Rh black catalyst showed good catalytic activity for a broad substrate scope including the aliphatic and aromatic olefins,affording the desired aldehydes in good yields.Taking the hydroformylation of ethylene as an example,86%yield of propanal and TOF of 200 h-1 were obtained,which was superior to the reported homogeneous catalytic systems.In addition,the catalyst could be reused five times without loss of activity under identical reaction conditions,and the Rh leaching was negligible after each cycle.     

Expedient Synthesis of Ketones via N‐Heterocyclic Carbene/Nickel‐Catalyzed Redox‐Economical Coupling of Alcohols and Alkynes†

An N‐heterocyclic carbene/nickel‐catalyzed direct coupling of alcohols and internal alkynes to form α‐branched ketones has been developed. This methodology provides a new approach to afford branched ketones, which are difficult to access through the hydroacylation of simple internal alkenes with aldehydes. This redox‐neutral and redox‐economical coupling is free from any oxidative or reductive additives as well as stoichiometric byproducts. These reactions convert both benzylic and aliphatic alcohols and alkynes, two basic feedstock chemicals, into various α‐branched ketones in a single chemical step.     

中学化学实验室气体环境的实测研究

对中学化学学生实验活动中产生的气体污染物进行测试,得到不同通风条件下化学实验室内部空气污染物的数据。结果表明,中学化学学生分组实验产生的主要气体污染物有苯、甲苯、甲醛、氨气等,实验过程中如不采取任何通风措施,实验室气体污染物的浓度短时间内会急剧升高,所以采取有效措施对实验室内部空气污染物进行消除是非常必要的。目前中学化学实验室配备的通风设备以桌面排风设备为主,相比于自然通风的环境,学生实验时开启桌面排风设备,能够有效降低实验产生的气体污染物浓度。     

基于水分掺杂的高场非对称波形离子迁移谱检测硫化氢的研究

高场非对称波形离子迁移谱(FAIMS)是一种芯片级高灵敏度快速分析检测技术,其在大气压环境下工作的特点使之受环境影响明显,其中气体的湿度是显著影响因素,湿度的变化可引起迁移区离子反应机理以及迁移过程的变化。该文研究了干燥条件下痕量硫化氢的定量检测方法,确定了DF=33%时的检测线性范围与回归方程。利用PTFE管渗透作用,设定水浴温度为40～90℃,考察了不同含量水分对FAIMS检测硫化氢的影响。通过考察不同湿度下硫化氢的FAIMS特征谱图以及特征离子峰,研究了掺杂水分对于硫化氢谱峰峰值、补偿电压以及检测分辨率的影响。结果表明,FAIMS对于硫化氢的检测谱图清晰可见,能够准确定位其特征离子峰。随着气体中水分增多,不同分离电场下的产物离子峰峰值增大,说明湿度增大在一定程度上提高了灵敏度,DF=35%时的检出限为1.43×10~(-3) mg/m~3。

无机纳米与多孔材料合成中的凝聚态化学

所谓凝聚态,一般意义上是指液态和固态,而凝聚态化学,即是在固相和液相中的各种化学过程。在无机材料,特别是无机纳米与多孔材料的合成制备中,凝聚态化学过程贯穿其中,几乎无处不在。在固相材料合成过程中,通过液相中的各种化学反应以获得目标固体材料的所需组分和物相,也许就是无机材料合成中一个最基本的凝聚态化学问题;而多孔如微孔或介孔材料合成中,更涉及伴随组分和物相形成过程中的孔结构形成与调控;进一步,在制备面向实际应用如催化剂和药物载体时,则在以上的各项要求之外,还必须考虑材料的表面活性位、缺陷等关键因素,以及颗粒尺寸、分散性和形貌等几何和物理特性。本文以无机氧化物为对象,讨论了无机材料在凝聚态化学合成过程中的几个侧面,包括纳米颗粒和粉体的化学合成方法,多孔材料的合成和多孔复相结构的合成调控,以及多级孔结构沸石的合成制备与催化性能,以期能加深对材料合成中凝聚态化学过程的认识,并期待以凝聚态化学为指导,进一步推动无机材料特别是纳米多孔材料合成的发展。     

Sorbents for the Direct Capture of CO2 from Ambient Air

The urgency to address global climate change induced by greenhouse gas emissions is increasing. In particular, the rise in atmospheric CO₂ levels is generating alarm. Technologies to remove CO₂ from ambient air, or “direct air capture” (DAC), have recently demonstrated that they can contribute to “negative carbon emission.” Recent advances in surface chemistry and material synthesis have resulted in new generations of CO₂ sorbents, which may drive the future of DAC and its large‐scale deployment. This Review describes major types of sorbents designed to capture CO₂ from ambient air and they are categorized by the sorption mechanism: physisorption, chemisorption, and moisture‐swing sorption.

A Photowelding Strategy for Conductivity Restoration in Flexible Circuits

Light‐driven micropumps, which are based on electro‐osmosis with the electric field generated by photocatalytic reactions, are among most attractive research topics in chemical micromotors. Until now, research in this field has mainly been focused on the directional motion or collective behavior of microparticles, which lack practical applications. In this study, we have developed a photowelding strategy for repeated photoinduced conductivity recovery of cracked flexible circuits. We immersed the circuit in a suspension of conductive healing particles and applied photoillumination to the crack; photocatalysis of a predeposited pentacene (PEN) layer triggered electro‐osmotic effects to gather conductive particles at the crack, thus leading to conductivity recovery of the circuit. This photowelding strategy is a novel application of light‐driven micropumps and photocatalysis for conductivity restoration.     

A Sustainable Solid Electrolyte Interphase for High‐Energy‐Density Lithium Metal Batteries Under Practical Conditions

High‐energy‐density Li metal batteries suffer from a short lifespan under practical conditions, such as limited lithium, high loading cathode, and lean electrolytes, owing to the absence of appropriate solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Herein, a sustainable SEI was designed rationally by combining fluorinated co‐solvents with sustained‐release additives for practical challenges. The intrinsic uniformity of SEI and the constant supplements of building blocks of SEI jointly afford to sustainable SEI. Specific spatial distributions and abundant heterogeneous grain boundaries of LiF, LiN_xO_y, and Li₂O effectively regulate uniformity of Li deposition. In a Li metal battery with an ultrathin Li anode (33 μm), a high‐loading LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3O₂ cathode (4.4 mAh cm^?2), and lean electrolytes (6.1 g Ah^?1), 83 % of initial capacity retains after 150 cycles. A pouch cell (3.5 Ah) demonstrated a specific energy of 340 Wh kg^?1 for 60 cycles with lean electrolytes (2.3 g Ah^?1).
