Self-Optimization of the Active Site of Molybdenum Disulfide by an Irreversible Phase Transition during Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

The metallic 1T-MoS₂ has attracted considerable attention as an effective catalyst for hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs). However, the fundamental mechanism about the catalytic activity of 1T-MoS₂ and the associated phase evolution remain elusive and controversial. Herein, we prepared the most stable 1T-MoS₂ by hydrothermal exfoliation of MoS₂ nanosheets vertically rooted into rigid one-dimensional TiO₂ nanofibers. The 1T-MoS₂ can keep highly stable over one year, presenting an ideal model system for investigating the HER catalytic activities as a function of the phase evolution. Both experimental studies and theoretical calculations suggest that 1T phase can be irreversibly transformed into a more active 1T′ phase as true active sites in photocatalytic HERs, resulting in a “catalytic site self-optimization”. Hydrogen atom adsorption is the major driving force for this phase transition.

Multi‐walled carbon nanotube modified dummy‐template magnetic molecularly imprinted microspheres as solid‐phase extraction material for the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls in fish

Novel multi‐walled carbon nanotube modified dummy‐template molecularly imprinted microspheres (MWCNTs@DMMIPs) were successfully synthesized as adsorbents for six kinds of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). MWCNTs@DMMIPs were prepared by a surface molecular imprinting technique. Core–shell Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ nanoparticles were employed as magnetic support. 3,4‐Dichlorobenzene acetic acid was used as a dummy template instead of PCBs, methacrylic acid was used as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate was used as the cross‐linker. The resulting absorbent was characterized by various methods. The adsorbent was employed for extracting PCBs and exhibited good selectivity and high adsorption efficiency. Furthermore, it was reusable and capable of magnetic separation. Adsorption kinetics fit well with a pseudo‐second‐order kinetic equation and also exhibited a three‐stage intra‐particle diffusion model. The Freundlich model was used to describe the adsorption isotherms. The materials were successfully applied to the magnetic dispersive solid‐phase extraction of six kinds of PCBs followed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry determination in fish samples, the limit of detection of six kinds of PCBs were 0.0028–0.0068 μg/L and spiked recoveries ranged between 73.41 and 114.21%. The prepared adsorbent was expected to be a new material for the removal and recovery of PCBs from contaminated foods.     

气相色谱-负化学源质谱法测定船舶压载水中4种三卤甲烷北大核心CSCD

我国每年的船舶压载水排放量巨大,压载水中含有浮游生物、病原体及其幼虫或孢子等,若处理不当,会对排放水域的生态环境造成严重影响。排放压载水前常使用电解法对其进行处理,电解产生的次氯酸钠溶液,能有效杀灭残余的微生物。但电解后会产生副产物三卤甲烷(THMs),其对人体有一定的健康风险,建立船舶压载水中三卤甲烷的测定方法具有重要意义。该研究建立了采用气相色谱-负化学源质谱(GC-NCI-MS)测定船舶压载水中4种三卤甲烷(包括三氯甲烷、二氯一溴甲烷、一氯二溴甲烷、三溴甲烷)的分析方法。船舶压载水样品经过顶空进样技术处理后,通过DB-5MS UI毛细管色谱柱(30 m×0.25 mm×1.0μm)分离,气相色谱-负化学源质谱仪测定,在选择离子扫描(SIM)模式下分析,采用外标法进行定量。4种三卤甲烷在0.2~50μg/L范围内线性关系良好,相关系数(r)≥0.995,定量限(S/N=10)为0.1~0.2μg/L,在0.2、0.5、2.0μg/L 3个加标水平下,4种THMs的平均回收率为90.3%~106.8%,相对标准偏差(RSD)为1.4%~6.2%。该方法准确、稳定、可靠,可用于测定船舶压载水中4种THMs的含量。使用建立的测定方法对36个船舶压载水进行测定,三溴甲烷、二溴一氯甲烷、一溴二氯甲烷与三氯甲烷的检出率分别为83.3%、69.4%、22.2%和19.4%,检出值分别为34.25~221.5μg/L、3.52~41.87μg/L、1.52~8.56μg/L和0.02~5.46μg/L。

Models to estimate viscosities of ternary metallic melts and their comparisons

Viscosity is an important property that influences industrial processes relevant to fluid. The transferring rate of impurities, such as S, P and N, is affected with the viscosity of metallic melts. The interfacial reactions and impurity removal depend on the viscosity of both slag and metallic melt. Viscosity of gas and liquid are all affecting the transferring process and velocity. However, the amount of viscosity data is far from satisfactory for the needs of today抯 technology, especially…
