Thermodynamics and kinetics of steam splitting over a potassium aluminosilicate electrolyte

A novel system using a potassium aluminosilicate electrolyte under applied potential that is able to split H₂O (or OHˉ) into H₂ and 1/2O₂ (or O₂ ^2-) with higher yields than the value deduced from Faraday"s law is presented. There were three steps by which H₂ and O₂ were generated stoichiometrically, and it was predicted that the high yields were due to the occurrence of chemically endothermic reactions: dehydration of the catalytic cell at a temperature below 100°C (step I), disproportionation of KOH (2KOH→H₂+K₂O₂) at a temperature around 200°C (step II), and disproportionation of K₂O (2K₂O→K₂+K₂O₂) at a temperature above 500°C (step III). So-called Nemca might be caused in the course of step III, since the rate of H₂ was ca 10² times larger than the value deduced from Faraday"s law. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Preparation and thermal decomposition of indium hydroxide

Summary Indium hydroxides were prepared by the mixing of aqueous indium nitrate solution with sodium or ammonium hydroxide solutions under various conditions. The thermal decomposition of the resulting materials was examined by thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction study and infrared spectroscopy. It has been found that sodium hydroxide solution is more suitable than the addition of ammonium hydroxide solution to prepare indium hydroxide in well crystallization; the thermal decomposition of indium hydroxide, in which the composition is In(OH)₃·xH₂O where x￡2, proceeds according to the following process: In(OH)₃·xH₂O?cubic In(OH)₃?cubic In₂O₃     

纳米Mn-Zn铁氧体的制备和研究

Nanosize manganese zinc ferrites were fabricated by hydrothermal precipitation route using Fe₂(SO₄)₃, ZnSO₄·7H₂O, MnSO₄·H₂O as material, then some calcinated at 500 ℃ and studied by XRD, TEM, IR and VSM. The results showed that the products were spinel crystal structure and uniformly sized nanoparticles (15～25 nm) with little aggregation. The analysis of IR showed that the superficial water can be eliminated, but that was embedded in crystal lattice can not be removed by calcinating. The effect Zn content x on the lattice (a) of nanosize Mn_1-xZn_xFe₂O₄ was also discussed. The lattice of nanosize Mn_1-xZn_xFe₂O₄ decreases with x increasing; and its value deviated the standard lattice (a₀) of normal size manganese zinc ferrites. A lot of water was absorbed during the hydrothermal process owing to the large surface of nanosize particles. The change of magnetic properties of Mn_xZn_1-xFe₂O₄ with x increasing was studied: nanosize Mn_xZn_1-xFe₂O₄ particles synthesized by us exhibited peculiar magnetic properties curve with Zn content (x) increasing, Superparamagnetic behaviors of the synthesized ZnFe₂O₄ samples were confirmed by magnetic characterization, which can be explained by the difference between the distribution of the metal ions (Mn²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Fe³⁺) among the tetrahedral (A) and the octahedral (B) sites of nanosize ferrite and that of bulk ferrite.

CoFe2O4自形成磁性液体场致结构化对磁化的影响

The Langevin paramagnetic theory can’t describe the relation between magnetization of ferrofluids and applied magnetic field. The structuralization of ferrofluids, which is considered the main influence factor of the magnetization, is regarded. The part of magnetization works is deposited when the structure is forming. This action influences the magnetization of ferrofluids directly or indirectly. On the base of the “compressing” model, the Langevin function that usually describes the magnetization of ferrofluid is modified, and a well-fitted curve is obtained. An equation of the relation between the equivalent volume fraction after being “compressed” and the intensity of magnetic field is discovered, which approximately describes the process of magnetization. The relation between the approximate initial susceptibility and the volume fraction can be obtained from modified formula.     

Highly regioselective Buchwald–Hartwig amination at C-2 of 2,4-dichloropyridine enabling a novel approach to 2,4-bisanilinopyridine (BAPyd) libraries

The highly regioselective Buchwald–Hartwig amination at C-2 of the cheap and readily accessible reagent, 2,4-dichloropyridine with a range of anilines and heterocyclic amines is described.

Sulfur-directed metal-free and regiospecific methyl C(sp3)–H imidation of thioanisoles

Regiospecific and direct imidation of the methyl C(sp³)–H bond of thioanisoles is realized under mild and metal-free conditions with N-fluorobis(benzenesulfonyl)imide as an oxidant and nitrogen source. Proposed mechanism suggests that thionium ion intermediates and a Pummerer-type reaction are involved. The imidation has advantages such as high step-economy, excellent functionality tolerance, and regiospecificity, giving structurally diverse imidation products.     

Selective syntheses of 2H-1,3-oxazines and 1H-pyrrol-3(2H)-ones via temperature-dependent Rh(II)-carbenoid-mediated 2H-azirine-ring expansion

The Rh(II)-catalyzed reaction of 2-carbonyl-substituted 2H-azirines with ethyl 2-cyano-2-diazoacetate or 2-diazo-3,3,3-trifluoropropionate provides an easy access to 2H-1,3-oxazines and 1H-pyrrol-3(2H)-ones. These compounds can be selectively prepared from the same starting material using temperature as the only varied parameter. The 2-azabuta-1,3-diene intermediate, a common precursor for both heterocyclic products, isomerizes into 2H-1,3-oxazine under kinetic control, while 1H-pyrrol-3(2H)-one is the sole product of the reaction at elevated temperatures. According to DFT-calculations a one-atom oxazine ring contraction involving ring-opening to a 2-azabuta-1,3-diene intermediate, followed by a 1,5- and 1,2-prototropic shift leads to the consecutive formation of imidoylketene and azomethine ylide, which then further undergo cyclization to the pyrrole derivative.
