克服高温二氧化碳电解产生的碳沉积问题（英文）

固体氧化物电解池(SOEC)中的高温二氧化碳电还原(HT-CO₂RR)具有对产物CO选择性近乎100%、能量效率高且产率可达到工业标准等特点.该技术能够将可再生能源、二氧化碳和水转化成高能量化合物,是实现碳中和的有效途径,具有较强的应用前景.但这种二氧化碳利用方法容易受电解过程中的积碳影响,严重损害电解池的能量效率和运行寿命.近年来,研究者们努力分析积碳问题,并通过改变反应条件来抑制积碳生成,或尝试设计无积碳产生的电极材料.然而,这些抑制积碳的策略同时牺牲了催化活性和能量效率.因此,未来研究需要兼顾催化电极的性能、电解池的能量效率和稳定性.本文概述了关于减少HT-CO₂RR中积碳的研究进展,讨论可能加速其大规模实际应用的未来研究方向,并阐述了SOEC的HT-CO₂RR中积碳的形成机制.HT-CO₂RR中积碳的形成是由于CO发生了歧化反应:2CO(g)■C+CO₂(g),也被称为Boudouard反应.该反应涉及两个基本步骤:(1)表面CO^*解离为C

镍高度分散在铁基钙钛矿用于高温固体氧化物电解池阴极的CO2电催化还原研究(英文)

利用太阳能、风能等可再生清洁电能将CO₂催化转化为高附加值化学品或燃料,在CO₂转化和可再生电能存储方面表现出极具潜力的应用前景.高温固体氧化物电解池(SOEC)可将CO₂电催化还原为CO,具有能量效率高、成本低等优点.目前,钙钛矿氧化物已被广泛应用于SOEC电解CO₂的阴极材料,但存在电极催化活性低等问题,因而限制其规模化发展和应用.通常采用浸渍、原位溶出或掺杂等策略引入大量活性中心以提升钙钛矿氧化物电极性能.然而,这些策略仍然面临一些挑战,如浸渍法易引入大颗粒物种而堵塞气体传输通道,原位溶出法能耗较大且析出量较少,掺杂法调控活性幅度有限.因此,发展新型简便方法以合理构建具有高度分散活性位点的阴极材料,可有效拓展电化学三相反应界面,进而加快SOEC高温电解CO₂的电极动力学速率.本文采用机械研磨法将1.0%NiO高度分散于La_0.8Sr_0.2Fe0_3-δ-Ce_0.8Sm_0.2

A method for molecular correlation energy calculations. Application to the determination of dissociation energies of diatomic and polyatomic molecules

A simple and economical method for molecular correlation energy calculations is developed. In this method, the internal part of the correlation energy is calculated by means of a CI in a minimal basis set and the non-internal part (semi-internal and all-external) is evaluated using an original atoms-in-molecule method. It is successfully applied to the determination of dissociation energies of some diatomic (H₂, NH, C₂, CN, N₂, CO, NO, O₂, F₂) and polyatomic (H₂O, N₂O, CO₂, N₃H, CH₂N₂, CH₂CO, C₂N₂) molecules. The results are compared to those obtained using very elaborate variational methods.Aspirant du Fonds National Belge de la Recherche Scientifique.     

Partitioning of atomization energy

The present work provides a technique for partitioning the atomization energy of a molecule into diatomic contributions. The method is largely based on the redistribution of the kinetic energy term in Mayer's energy partitioning and uses free‐atom energies as a reference. The comparison of Mayer's original method, the alternative Ichikawa–Yoshida approach, and the new atomization energy partitioning (AEP) shows that the new approach has advantages in describing trends in diatomic energies in molecules with triple bonds, as well as for hydrogen bonds. The proposed AEP is a viable alternative to Mayer's energy partitioning method. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int. J. Quantum Chem, 2008     

Interaction energy contours of molecules as probed by a test atom

Potential energy contour curves for some simple molecules interacting with a test atom (a Li atom in the ground state) are calculated by theab initio method. Relative hardness of the repulsive molecular surface is found to be anisotropic. This indicates that the outer boundary surface of a molecule changes its form depending on the extent of applied external forces. The attractive nature of the molecular surface is demonstrated to be local. Surroundings of electronegative atoms having nonbonded electron pairs are found to be attractieve to the test atom having both electron-donating and electron-accepting abilities.     

A representation of the polarization term in the interaction energy between a molecule and a point-like charge

The interaction energy of a molecule M with a point-like charge q can be partitioned into simpler contributions, two of which can be expressed in terms of the charge distribution _M of the sole M. The first term, qV(r), represents the interaction of q with the undistorted charge _M ⁰ of M while the second q ² P(r) gives the additional contributions due to the polarization of _M ⁰ under the influence of the charge q placed at the point r. In this paper we investigate the possibility of getting an inexpensive and sufficiently accurate analytical representation of P(r) over the whole space outside the van der Waals volume of M.     

Synthesis of Imines via Reactions of Benzyl Alcohol with Amines Using Half‐Sandwich (η6‐p‐cymene) Ruthenium(II) Complexes Stabilised by 2‐aminofluorene Derivatives

A new class of half‐sandwich (η⁶‐p‐cymene) ruthenium(II) complexes supported by 2‐aminofluorene derivatives [Ru(η⁶‐p‐cymene)(Cl)(L)] ( L  = 2‐(((9H‐fluoren‐2‐yl)imino)methyl)phenol ( L ¹ ), 2‐(((9H‐fluoren‐2‐yl)imino)methyl)‐3‐methoxyphenol ( L ² ), 1‐(((9H‐fluoren‐2‐yl)imino)methyl)naphthalene‐2‐ol ( L ³ ) and N‐((1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)methylene)‐9H‐fluorene‐2‐amine ( L ⁴ )) were synthesized. All compounds were fully characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV–Vis, NMR) and also by mass spectrometry. The solid state molecular structures of the complexes [Ru(η⁶‐p‐cymene)(Cl)(L²)], [Ru(η⁶‐p‐cymene)(Cl)(L³)] and [Ru(η⁶‐p‐cymene)(Cl)(L⁴)] revealed that the 2‐aminofluorene and p‐cymene moieties coordinate to ruthenium(II) in a three‐legged piano‐stool geometry. The synthesized complexes were used as catalysts for the dehydrogenative coupling of benzyl alcohol with a range of amines (aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic). The reactions were carried out under thermal heating, ultrasound and microwave assistance, using solvent or solvent free conditions, and the catalytic performance was optimized regarding the solvent, the type of base, the catalyst loading and the temperature. Moderately high to very high isolated yields were obtained using [Ru(η⁶‐p‐cymene)(Cl)(L⁴)] at 1 mol%. In general, microwave irradiation produced better yields than the other two techniques irrespective of the nature of the substituents.

Influence of multivalent ions on power production from mixing salt and fresh water with a reverse electrodialysis system

Reverse electrodialysis is a membrane-based technique for production of sustainable electricity from controlled mixing of a diluted electrolyte solution (e.g., river water) and a concentrated electrolyte solution (e.g., sea water). Reverse electrodialysis has been investigated with pure sodium chloride solutions. In practice, however, in most cases also other ions are present in both feed solutions. In the present paper, the effect of multivalent ions on the performance of a reverse electrodialysis stack was investigated. Results show that, besides a higher stack resistance in presence of multivalent ions, especially the presence of multivalent ions in the dilute solution has a lowering effect on the stack voltage. This can be explained by an observed transport of these ions from the diluted electrolyte solution to the concentrated electrolyte solution. In order to prevent or hamper this transport against the activity gradient, monovalent-selective membranes can be used. This shows indeed better results with respect to the stack voltage. Therefore, it would be beneficial to use monovalent-selective membranes in reverse electrodialysis, especially in the case of a relatively high content of multivalent ions in the dilute (i.e., in the first stages of the installation where the sodium chloride content in the dilute is still relatively low).

Efficient calculation of two-dimensional adiabatic and free energy maps: Application to the isomerization of the C13C14 and C15N16 bonds in the retinal of bacteriorhodopsin

Accurate calculation of potential energy and free-energy profiles along reaction coordinates of biological processes such as enzymatic reactions or conformational changes is fundamental to the obtention of theoretical insight into protein function. We describe here the practical implementation of the Automatic Map Refinement Procedure (AMRP) and two-dimensional Weighted Histogram Analysis Method (WHAM) for efficient computation of adiabatic potential energy and free-energy maps, respectively. Methods for efficiently sampling configuration space with high-energy barriers and for removing hysteresis in the case of periodic reaction coordinates are presented. The application of these techniques to the isomerization of the C13C14 and C15N16 bonds in the retinal of bacteriorhodopsin is described. In dark-adapted bacteriorhodopsin (bR), the retinal moiety exists in two conformers, all-trans and (13,15)cis, with the latter making ≃67% of the population. This experimental free energy difference is reproduced here to within k_BT. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Comput Chem 20: 1644–1658, 1999
