Insights into the efficient charge separation over Nb2O5/2D-C3N4 heterostructure for exceptional visible-light driven H2 evolution

Two-dimensional carbon nitride(2 D-C₃ N₄)nanosheets are promising materials in photocatalytic water splitting,but still suffer from easy agglomeration and fast photogene rated electron-hole pairs recombination.To tackle this issue,herein,a hierarchical Nb₂ O₅/2 D-C₃ N₄ heterostructure is precisely constructed and the built-in electric field between Nb₂O₅ and 2 D-C₃ N₄ can provide the driving force to separate/transfer the charge carriers efficiently.Moreover,the strongly Lewis acidic Nb₂O₅ can adsorb TEOA molecules on its surface at locally high concentrations to facilitate the oxidation reaction kinetics under irradiation,resulting in efficient photogene rated electrons-holes separation and exceptional photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.As expected,the champion Nb₂O₅/2 D-C₃N₄ heterostructure achieves an exceptional H2 evolution rate of 31.6 mmol g^-1 h^-1,which is 213.6 times and 4.3 times higher than that of pristine Nb₂O₅ and2 D-C₃N₄,respectively.Moreover,the champion heterostructure possesses a high apparent quantum efficiency(AQE)of 45.08%atλ=405 nm and superior cycling stability.Furthermore,a possible photocatalytic mechanism of the energy band alignment at the hetero-interface is proposed based on the systematical characterizations accompanied by density functional theory(DFT)calculations.This work paves the way for the precise construction of a high-quality heterostructured photocatalyst with efficient charge separation to boost hydrogen production.     

Is it universal that the layered-spinel structure can improve electrochemical performance?

The introduction of spinel phase to form the layered-spinel structure(LSS)is an effective way to improve the electrochemical performance of Li-and Mn-rich layered oxides(LMR).But is this structure universal for all LMR systems?In this work,different Mn/Ni ratio systems with the LSS are discussed in detail.It is found that,high discharge capacity(200.8 mA h g^-1 at 1C rate;1C=250 mA h g^-1)as well as high capacity-retention(94%at 1C rate after 100 cycles)can be achieved by forming the LSS for low-Ni system(Mn/Ni=5.0).However,the capacity retention decreases severely in the high-Ni system(Mn/Ni=3.5,2.6).For example,when the ratio of Mn/Ni is 3.5,the capacity-retention of the layered-spinel sample was only 65.8%,compared to the 83%of the original LMR sample.The Ex-situ XRD,XPS,and HRTEM results demonstrate that the introduction of spinel phase in high-Ni system accelerates the transition and collapse of the crystal structure.This work provides guidance for optimizing the proportions of elements and the design of structures for the LMR.     

基于抛光基材的热蒸镀铜箔生长高平整单层石墨烯薄膜

在石墨烯的化学气相沉积工艺中,铜箔是决定石墨烯薄膜质量的重要因素。传统铜箔由于制备工艺的限制,存在大量的缺陷,导致石墨烯薄膜的成核密度较高。本工作选用抛光铝板、抛光不锈钢板、微晶玻璃和SiO₂/Si作为基材,用热蒸镀法制备了不同粗糙度的铜箔,并详细讨论了以该系列铜箔生长高平整度石墨烯薄膜的条件及铜箔对石墨烯薄膜品质的影响。实验结果表明,铜箔以(111)取向为主,与基材分离后,表面具有纳米级平整度。在生长石墨烯后,从SiO₂/Si剥离的铜箔成核密度是4种基材中最小的。同时,从SiO₂/Si剥离的铜箔晶体结构变化最不明显,具有良好的结晶性,表面几乎不存在铜晶界缺陷。当压强为3 000 Pa,氢气和甲烷流速分别为300 mL/min和0.5 mL/min时,可以获得约1 mm横向尺寸的石墨烯单晶晶畴。

Developme nt of subcellular orga nelle-targeted bioimagi ng probes is of great imports nee in the field of early detection of diseases and exploring the behaviors of subcellular organelles.Herein,we present a triphenyIphosphonium functionalized conjugated macrocyclic tetramaleimide(TPP-CMT)as a mitochondrial-targeting bioimaging probe.The core of TPP-CMT is obtained by connecting two pyrenes and two benzenes through four maleimides.This unique structure endows TPP-CMT with exceptional far red/near-i nfirared aggregati on-induced emissi on(FR/NIR-AIE)characteristics.TPP-CMT is an excelle nt fluoresce nt emitter in most solve nts and eve n in solid states.The qua ntum yield of TPP-CMT was higher tha n 27% when dissolved in comm on middle-polarity orga nic solve nt and this value remained at 28.2% in its solid state.The in troducti on of four triphe ny Iphosph onium on maleimide positions endows TPP-CMT with mitochondrial-targeting ability.Thanks to the FR/NIR-AIE characteristics and the mitochondri-al-targeti ng ability,this well-desig ned fluoresce nt probe was successfully employed for mitochondrial targeti ng bioimaging of HeLa and HepG2 cells.     

嵌锁式CFRP方形蜂窝夹芯梁低速冲击响应及失效机理

采用嵌锁组装工艺制备了碳纤维/树脂基复合材料方形蜂窝夹芯梁，实验研究了低速冲击载荷下简支和固支夹芯梁的动态响应及失效机理，获得了不同冲击速度下夹芯梁的失效模式，分析了其损伤演化过程和失效机理，探讨了冲击速度、边界条件、面板质量分布以及槽口方向等因素对夹芯梁破坏模式及承载能力的影响。研究结果表明，芯材长肋板槽口方向对夹芯梁的失效模式有较大影响，槽口向上的芯材跨中部分产生了挤压变形，而槽口向下的芯材跨中部分槽口在拉伸作用下出现了沿槽口开裂失效，继而引起面板脱粘和肋板断裂；同等质量下，较厚的上面板设计可以提高夹芯梁的抗冲击能力，冲击速度越大，夹芯梁的峰值载荷和承载能力越高；固支边界使得夹芯梁的后失效行为呈现出明显的强化效应，在夹芯梁跨中部分发生初始失效后出现了后继的固支端芯材和面板断裂失效模式。
