通过两步水热法制备泡沫镍(NF)负载Fe_2O_3纳米粒子@Ni_3S_2纳米线网状结构电极(Fe_2O_3@Ni_3S_2/NF)。运用X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、N_2吸附-脱附测试等方法对电极材料的物相和微观结构特征等进行了表征。水热条件下原位表面化学刻蚀生成的Ni_3S_2纳米线与三维多孔NF基体间拥有强结合力和低界面电阻,Fe_2O_3粒子均匀分布在纳米线的表面。在1 mol·L~(-1)的KOH溶液中,运用线性扫描伏安测试(LSV)、计时电位法、电化学交流阻抗测试(EIS)等对电极的电催化析氧(OER)性能进行了测试。结果表明:在100 mA·cm~(-2)的超高电流密度下,Fe_2O_3@Ni_3S_2/NF电极的OER过电势仅为223 mV,比Ni_3S_2/NF材料的过电势降低了285 mV;经过10 h计时电位测试,性能保持率高达80%。     

Collision statistics of clusters: from Poisson model to Poisson mixtures

Clusters traverse a gas and collide with gas particles. The gas particles are absorbed, and the clusters become hosts. If the clusters are size-selected, the number of guests will be Poisson distributed. We review this by showcasing four laboratory procedures that all rely on the validity of the Poisson model. The effects of a statistical distribution of the clusters' sizes in a beam of clusters are discussed. We derive the average collision rates. Additionally, we present Poisson mixture models that also involve standard deviations. We derive the collision statistics for common size distributions of hosts and also for some generalizations thereof. The models can be applied to large noble gas clusters traversing doping gas. While outlining how to fit a generalized Poisson to the statistics, we still find even these Poisson models to be often insufficient.     

Monodisperse Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized by a Microwave-Assisted Method

Silver nanoparticles with an average size of about 2Ohm are synthesized in a colloidal solution with the aid of microwave irradiation. Neither additional reductant nor stabilizer is required in this microwave-assisted method. The color of the colloidal solution is found to be dark green, different from the characteristic yellow of silver colloidal solutions. The silver nanoparticles in the colloidal solution have a narrow size distribution and large yield quantity. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy analysis reveals that the as-synthesized monodisperse silver nanoparticles have exceptional optical properties. Raman spectroscopy measurements demonstrate that these silver nanoparticles exhibit a notable surface-enhanced Raman scattering ability.
