Nonlinear elastic constitutive relations of residually stressed composites with stiff curved fibres

Valence Quark Ratio in the Proton

Beginning with precise data on the ratio of structure functions in deep inelastic scattering（DIS） from ³ He and ³ H, collected on the domain 0.19 ≤ xB≤ 0.83, where xBis the Bjorken scaling variable, we employ a robust method for extrapolating such data to arrive at a model-independent result for the xB= 1 value of the ratio of neutron and proton structure functions. Combining this with information obtained in analyses of DIS from nuclei, corrected for target-structure depen...     

The emerging applications of pillararene architectures in supramolecular catalysis

Over the last decade, numerous research efforts have been devoted to pillar[n]arenes since their debut.The popularity of pillararenes is a reflection of current research trend in supramolecular and macrocyclic chemistry in general. Among the vast applications(such as chemosensors, drug delivery, transmembrance channels, and separation) of pillararenes, their utilization in catalysis is a relatively less explored area.However, soaring attention has been paid by researchers in recent years and thi...     

Recent advances on iron-catalyzed coupling reactions involving organolithium reagents

Several iron-catalyzed cross- and homo-coupling reactions involving organolithiums were developed to form diverse carbon-carbon bonds. The usefulness of this protocol was demonstrated by producing gram-scale products in good yields.     

Highly transparent ceramics for the spectral range from 1.0 to 60.0μm based on solid solutions of the system AgBr-AgI-TlI-TlBr

The article is devoted to the technology for obtaining optical ceramics of Ag Br-Tl I and Ag Br-Tl Br_0.46I_0.54 systems and manufacturing samples with different compositions.The new heterophase crystal ceramics are transparent without absorption windows in the spectral range from 1.0 to 60.0μm.In the ceramics’transparency spectra based on the Ag Br-Tl I and Ag Br-Tl Br_0.46I_0.54 systems fusibility diagrams,with an increase in the thallium halides mass fraction,as well as the replacement of the bromine ion with iodine,the maximum transparency shifts to a long infrared region.     

BiVO4/TiO2 heterojunction with rich oxygen vacancies for enhanced electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction

The large-scale production of ammonia mainly depends on the Haber–Bosch process, which will lead to the problems of high energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission. Electrochemical nitrogen fixation is considered to be an environmental friendly and sustainable process, but its efficiency largely depends on the activity and stability of the catalyst. Therefore, it is imperative to develop highefficient electrocatalysts in the field of nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). In this paper, we developed a BiVO₄/TiO₂ nanotube (BiVO₄/TNT) heterojunction composite with rich oxygen vacancies as an electrocatalytic NRR catalyst. The heterojunction interface and oxygen vacancy of BiVO₄/TNT can be the active site of N₂ dynamic activation and proton transition. The synergistic effect of TiO₂ and BiVO₄ shortens the proton transport path and reduces the over potential of chemical reaction. BiVO₄/TNT has high ammonia yield of 8.54 μg·h⁻¹·cm⁻² and high Faraday efficiency of 7.70% in −0.8 V vs. RHE in 0.1 M Na₂SO₄ solution.     

How do molecular interactions affect fluorescence behavior of AIEgens in solution and aggregate states?

Molecular interactions are crucial in diverse fields of protein folding,material science,nanotechnology,and life origins.Although mounting experimental research controls luminescent behavior by adjusting molecular interactions in light-emitting materials,it remains elusive to correlate microscopic molecular interactions with macroscopic luminescent behavior directly.Here,we synthesized three red luminogens with subtle structural variation and investigated the influence of molecular interactions on their luminescent behavior in solution and aggregate states.Our results indicate that strongπ-πand D-A interactions in both dilute solution(between luminogen and solvent molecules)and aggregate(between luminogens)states cause the redshift in emission,while weak interactions(e.g.,Van der Waals,C–H…π,and C–H…F interactions)enhance the quantum yield.This work provides a thoughtful investigation into the complicated influence of various molecular interactions on luminescent behavior.     

Ag_(60)纳米颗粒[{Cl@Ag_(12)}@Ag_(48)(dppm)_(12)]的结构(其中dppm=双(二苯基膦基)甲烷)（英文）

本文合成一种新的双膦连接Ag_(60)纳米团簇[{Cl@Ag_(12)}@Ag_(48)(dppm)_(12)],并通过X射线晶体学进行表征.二十面体的银处于核心位置,里面是中心氯化物组成,外面有48个银原子/离子的包裹,顶端是12个双(二苯基膦基)甲烷(dppm)配体.同时利用密度泛函理论对阳离子[{Cl@Ag_(12)}@Ag_(48)(dppm)_(12)]~+进行计算,以确定该结构是否对应于核心数n=58的超原子.DFT计算的优化结构与X射线一致,但是HOMO-LUMO的能差并不能保证共超级稳定性.

纳米粘土增强环氧树脂复合材料抗原子氧性能的研究

本文采用激光爆破法高能原子氧束源研究了纳米粘土增强环氧树脂复合材料的抗原子氧性能. 研究了四种样品：纯环氧树脂，纳米粘土含量为1 wt%，2 wt%和4 wt%的纳米粘土增强环氧树脂复合材料，结果表明腐蚀深度随着纳米粘土含量的增加而降低，当掺杂纳米粘土含量为4 wt%时，腐蚀深度为纯环氧树脂腐蚀深度的28%∽37%；X射线光电子能谱(XPS)分析表明原子氧轰击后，材料表面C-C/C-H键比例减少，C-O键、酮类比例增加，表面氧化程度增加，掺杂纳米粘土的材料表面生成了新的碳酸盐，掺杂4 wt%纳米粘土的复合材料表面氧化程度增加最小；扫描电子显微镜(SEM)结果显示含有纳米粘土的复合材料表面被原子氧轰击后在纳米粘土团簇处形成了“块状”物质，掺杂4 wt%纳米粘土的复合材料，“块状”物质尺寸和分布密度最大；综合腐蚀深度，XPS，以及SEM结果表明，虽然所有表面都一定程度地被原子氧腐蚀和氧化，但掺杂纳米粘土的复合材料表面由于生成了“块状”物质，阻挡了原子氧进一步腐蚀其下的材料，提高了抗原子氧性能.
