离子液体/H_2O_2体系脱硫实验研究

选取四种不同种类离子液体(ILs),1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑溴化物([Bmim]Br)、1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑四氟硼酸盐([Bmim]BF_4)、1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑硫酸氢盐([Bmim]HSO_4)、1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑磷酸二氢盐([Bmim]H_2PO_4)与30%H_2O_2溶液在温和条件下对两种高硫脱灰煤样(LS、QX)进行脱硫实验研究。用化学法测定脱硫前后煤样形态硫含量,并利用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)及热重(TG)对脱硫前后的煤样进行表征。结果表明,离子液体的加入使H_2O_2氧化脱硫能力增强,煤中硫铁矿硫和有机硫化物硫被显著脱除;经ILs/H_2O_2体系作用后的煤样中小粒径的颗粒减少,颗粒间的缝隙增大,煤表面的凹坑明显,热重实验结果表明,ILs/H_2O_2体系作用后的煤样相对于原煤热失重增大,部分挥发性物质释放峰温提前。

Unified reciprocity of dithiophosphate by dichalcogenophosph(in)ate ligands on copper hydride nanoclusters via ligand exchange reaction

A structural study of ligand exchange on chalcogen‐passivated copper nanoclusters is far less developed. Herein, we report the synthesis of polyhydrido copper nanoclusters [Cu₂₀H₁₁{Se₂P(O ⁱBu)₂}₉] ( 2 ) passivated by Se‐donor ligands via ligand replacement reaction on [Cu₂₀H₁₁{S₂P(O ⁱPr)₂}₉] ( 1 ) with NH₄[Se₂P(O ⁱBu)₂]. In parallel to the synthesis of 2 , cluster [Cu₂₀H₁₁{S₂P(CH₂CH₂Ph)₂}₉] ( 4 ) was produced by the ligand exchange reaction on a new derivative of 1 , that is [Cu₂₀H₁₁{S₂P(O ⁿPr)₂}₉] ( 3 ). Solid state structures of both clusters 2 and 4 were unequivocally established by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies and cluster 4 epitomizes exceptional case to preserve both the shape and size of the nanocluster during the course of ligand exchange. Structurally precise cluster 2 is the second example where the copper hydride nanocluster is stabilized by Se‐donor ligands. The anatomy of 2 can be visualized as a twisted cuboctahedral Cu₁₃ core, two triangular faces of which are capped by a Cu₆ cupola and a single Cu atom along the C₃ rotational axis.     

Freestanding Carbon Nanotube Film for Flexible Straplike Lithium/Sulfur Batteries

Flexible lithium/sulfur (Li/S) batteries are promising to meet the emerging power demand for flexible electronic devices. The key challenge for a flexible Li/S battery is to design a cathode with excellent electrochemical performance and mechanical flexibility. In this work, a flexible strap-like Li/S battery based on a S@carbon nanotube/Pt@carbon nanotube hybrid film cathode was designed. It delivers a specific capacity of 1145 mAh g⁻¹ at the first cycle and retains a specific capacity of 822 mAh g⁻¹ after 100 cycles. Moreover, the flexible Li/S battery retains stabile specific capacity and Coulombic efficiency even under severe bending conditions. As a demonstration of practical applications, an LED array is shown stably powered by the flexible Li/S battery under flattened and bent states. We also use the strap-like flexible Li/S battery as a real strap for a watch, which at the same time provides a reliable power supply to the watch.     

Dual‐Functional Semithiobambusurils

Semithiobambusurils, which represent a new family of macrocyclic host molecules, have been prepared by a convenient, scalable synthesis. These new cavitands are double functional: they strongly bind a broad variety of anions in their interiors and metal ions at their sulfur‐edged portals. The solid‐state structure of semithiobambus[4]uril with HgCl₂ demonstrates the ability of these compounds to form linear chains of coordination polymers with thiophillic metal ions. The crystal structure of semithiobambus[6]uril with tetraphenylphosphonium bromide exhibits the unique anion‐binding properties of the host cavity and the characteristics of the binding site.     

Redox Communication within Multinuclear Iron–Sulfur Complexes Related to Electronic Interplay in the Active Site of [FeFe]Hydrogenase

The one‐electron oxidations of a Fe₂ complex lead to the formation of a persistent metal‐stabilized thiyl radical Fe₂ species, mixed‐valent Fe₄, and Fe₈ complexes. The unpaired spin in the Fe₂ radical species delocalizes over the Fe₂ and the aromatic dithiolate, mostly on the terminal sulfur. The subsequent dimerization of the singly oxidized Fe₂ to the Fe₄ retains the partial thiyl radical character. For an analogue with less steric hindrance, the π–π stacking interaction between the dithiolato aromatic rings induces generation of the Fe₈, in which process electronic structures of the species are modulated through reducing the thiyl radical to the thiolate. Electronic reorganization repeats when the Fe₈ is converted to Fe₄. Electronic interplay in the complexes decreases the energy gap of frontier MOs and buffers electronic impacts upon redox events. Easier accessible redox potentials and increased stability of the species are facilitated. The results demonstrate that electronic versatility of the benzenedithiolate exerts pronounced influences on electronic and coordination structure of the metal complexes.     

Na2S–Carbon Nanotube Fabric Electrodes for Room‐Temperature Sodium–Sulfur Batteries

A unique sodium sulfide (Na₂S) cathode is developed, which will allow the use of sodium‐free anodes for room‐temperature sodium–sulfur (Na–S) batteries. To overcome the “inert” nature of the Na₂S, a special cathode structure is developed by spreading the multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)‐wrapped Na₂S particles onto MWCNT fabrics. Spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses reveal a series of polysulfide intermediates involved in the charge/discharge of the cell. The Na–S battery prepared in full discharge state with the Na₂S/MWCNT cathode provides a remarkable capacity of 500 A h kg^?1 (based on sulfur mass) after 50 cycles.     

Carbon Materials for Lithium Sulfur Batteries—Ten Critical Questions

Lithium–sulfur batteries are among the most promising electrochemical energy storage devices of the near future. Especially the low price and abundant availability of sulfur as the cathode material and the high theoretical capacity in comparison to state‐of‐the art lithium‐ion technologies are attractive features. Despite significant research achievements that have been made over the last years, fundamental (electro‐) chemical questions still remain unanswered. This review addresses ten crucial questions associated with lithium–sulfur batteries and critically evaluates current research with respect to them. The sulfur–carbon composite cathode is a particular focus, but its complex interplay with other hardware components in the cell, such as the electrolyte and the anode, necessitates a critical discussion of other cell components. Modern in situ characterisation methods are ideally suited to illuminate the role of each component. This article does not pretend to summarise all recently published data, but instead is a critical overview over lithium–sulfur batteries based on recent research findings.     

Triphenylphosphine‐Mediated Deoxygenative Reduction of CF3SO2Na and Its Application for Trifluoromethylthiolation of Aryl Iodides

We report herein a practical method for taming Langlois’ reagent CF₃SO₂Na to generate CuSCF₃ by a triphenylphospine‐mediated deoxygenative reduction process. This chemistry highlights a novel utilization of the inherent CF₃S skeleton of Langlois’ reagent as a CF₃S feedstock under mild conditions. The CuSCF₃ intermediate generated by this protocol can react with a wide array of supporting ligands to furnish several air‐stable [LCu(SCF₃)] complexes as valuable trifluoromethylthiolating agents. In addition, the CuSCF₃ intermediate can be directly employed for the trifluoromethylthiolation of (hetero)aryl iodides with operational simplicity and atomic efficiency.
