通过三聚氰胺甲醛树脂(MR)中的羟基与石墨烯氧化物(GO)中的羧基发生的沉淀反应来制备功能化的氧化石墨烯前驱体,然后利用溶胶-凝胶及高温热处理方法制备磷酸钒锂/石墨烯复合材料,利用此材料制备了电池电极,并对电极材料进行了结构和电化学表征。结果表明,所得磷酸钒锂为单斜晶系结构,石墨烯堆叠程度显著降低,也有效避免了磷酸钒锂颗粒的团聚,提高了材料的电化学性能。电池的充放电曲线极化较小,在3.0~4.3 V的区间内20 C倍率仍有86 mA·h/g的可逆容量。0.1 C循环100次后容量为119.7 mA·h/g,容量保持率94%。在3.0~4.8 V的高电压区间,10 C倍率下可逆容量80 mA·h/g,0.1 C循环100次后仍有145.6 mA·h/g的可逆容量。优异的循环和倍率性能以及较低的碳含量符合锂离子正极材料实用的要求。

Li3V2(PO4)3/C正极材料在不同电压区间的电化学行为及容量衰减原因

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备锂离子电池正极材料Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/C. 通过恒电流充放电测试、循环伏安(CV)、电化学阻抗谱(EIS)等方法, 研究了Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/C 在不同电压区间的电化学行为(3.0-4.5 V和3.0-4.8 V). 结果表明, 3.0-4.8 V电压区间的循环性能和倍率性能均不及3.0-4.5 V电压区间的. 3.0-4.5 V区间0.1C (1C=150mA·g^-1)倍率首次放电比容量为127.0 mAh·g^-1, 循环50次后容量保持率为99.5%, 而3.0-4.8 V区间的分别为168.2 mAh·g^-1和78.5%. 经过高倍率测试后再回到0.1C倍率充放电, 3.0-4.5 V和3.0-4.8 V的放电比容量分别为初始0.1C倍率的99.0%和80.7%. 经过3.0-4.8 V电压区间测试后, 少部分第三个锂离子能够在低于4.5V的电压脱出, 使3.0-4.5 V电压区间的放电比容量提升了7.4%. CV结果表明3.0-4.8 V区间的容量损失主要表现为第一个锂离子的不可逆损失. 极片的X射线衍射(XRD)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)分析测试结果表明经过3.0-4.8 V测试后, Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃的结构发生了轻微的改变. 电感耦合等离子体(ICP)测试结果表明循环后的电解液中含有少量的V. 结构变形和V溶解可能是Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃在3.0-4.8 V区间容量衰减的主要原因.

Complexes of chromium(III) with nitrilotriacetic acid and their extraction by solutions of aliquat-336 in dichloro-ethane

It has been shown that chromium(III) and nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA; H₃Z) form only a series of 1:1 complexes in solution. The violet uncharged species [CrZ(H₂O)₂] cannot be extracted by a solution of the long-chain quaternary ammonium chloride, Aliquat-336, in dichloroethane. Its acid dissociation constant (pK₁ = 5.87) was determined spectrophotometrically. On increasing the pH of the solution the blue anion CrZ(H₂O)(OH)^- of pK₂=8.74 and its conjugate base the binegative anion CrZ(OH)^2-₂ of pK₃= 11.81 are successively formed. Both of these anionic species are extracted by Aliquat-336 with maximal extraction (ca. 60%) at about pH 9. At still higher pH values the olive-green anion, CrZ(OH)₃^3-of much lower or negligible extractability, is formed.     

VO1-4+阳离子与n-CmH2m+2 (m = 3, 5, 7)烷烃的反应性研究：氧含量和碳链长度的影响

Vanadium oxides are one of the most important heterogeneous catalysts that are widely used to oxidize hydrocarbon molecules into value-added chemicals. In order to reveal the mechanisms and the nature of active sites, numerous experimental and theoretical studies have been reported on the reactivities of gas-phase vanadium oxide clusters toward small molecules. However, there has been very limited research on the chemical reactivity changes associated with the oxygen contents of vanadium oxides and the carbon chain lengths of alkanes. In this work, the reactions of vanadium oxide ions VO₁₋₄⁺ with alkanes (n-C_mH_2m+2, m = 3, 5, 7) were systematically investigated by time-of-flight mass spectrometry and the reactions of VO₁₋₃⁺ with pentane were further studied by density functional theory calculations. Experimental results show that in the reactions of VO⁺, VO₃⁺, and VO₄⁺ with n-C₅H₁₂, in addition to the major adsorption processes, the activation of the C―H and C―C bonds of n-C₅H₁₂ was observed. The activation of both the bonds was observed experimentally during the reaction of VO₂⁺ with n-C₅H₁₂ with large branching ratios. Among the vanadium oxide cations studied, VO₂⁺ shows the strongest oxidizability and the generation of lighter alkanes and alkenes dominates the reactions; VO⁺ is more reactive than VO₃⁺. VO₄⁺ pocesses only one η²-O₂ unit. Due to the weak bond between VO₂⁺ and η²-O₂, the η²-O₂ unit is released in VO₄⁺/n-C₅H₁₂ system leading to the formation of VO₂⁺; thus VO₄⁺ cations reflect some reactivity of VO₂⁺. Although the oxidation states in the vanadium oxide clusters increase from +Ⅲ in VO⁺ to +Ⅴ in VO₂⁺ and +Ⅳ in VO₃⁺, the reactivity does not gradually increase. Moreover, the reactivity of the mononuclear vanadium oxide cations also does not exhibit a gradually increasing trend with the increase in oxygen content. Based on the observed reactivity trend, the adsorption channels gradually become weak as the carbon chain lengths increase; meanwhile, the dehydrogenation and C―C bond activation channels gradually become obvious and some oxygen transfer products appear. Therefore, much lighter fragments of alkanes/alkenes will be obtained if linear alkanes with more carbon atoms were reacted with VO₁₋₄⁺. The theoretical results are generally consistent with those obtained from the experiments. The various reaction channels and versatile reactivity of the mononuclear vanadium oxide cations investigated in this study not only offer new insights into gas-phase reactions but also shed light on the processes occurring on the surfaces of the corresponding condensed-phase catalysts.     

Cu/Dy/S2O82-/Al-PILR催化剂制备及其选择催化还原 NO

采用累托土为原料,合成铝交联累托土 (Al-PILR),然后分步浸渍负载 (NH₄)₂S₂O₈、Dy(NO₃)₃和 Cu(NO₃)₂,制成 Cu/Dy/S₂O₈^2-/Al-PILR催化剂。 考察该催化剂对 C₃H₆选择性还原 NO的催化性能,并且利用低角 XRD、BET、Py-IR、IR、TG和SEM等方法,研究催化剂结构与性能的关系。实验结果表明,铝交联剂能很好地撑开累托土的土层,显著增大催化剂的比表面积; S₂O₈^2-能明显增加铝交联累托土B(Brönsted)酸的酸量; Dy能进一步增加B酸的酸量,有效提高催化活性和热稳定性。因此, Cu/Dy/S₂O₈^2-/Al-PILR催化剂具有良好的催化性能, 最佳催化活性温度为300℃,NO转化率高达80.3%,在有10%水蒸气存在的情况下仍可达77.6%。     

流变相法制备海藻酸基碳包覆Li3V2(PO4)3材料的电化学性能

Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/C (LVP/C) cathode materials were successfully prepared by a rheological phase method using alginic acid as the carbon source. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns demonstrate that all the samples contain pure LVP with the same monoclinic structure. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show that LVP/C materials have a uniform particle size. The LVP/C sample with 10% (w) alginic acid shows the best cycling stability. It delivers a discharge capacity of 117.5 mAh·g^-1 (3.0-4.3 V), which can be maintained at 116.5 mAh·g^-1 after 50 cycles at a rate of 0.1C. Its capacity retentions of 99.1% (3.0-4.3 V) and 76.8% (3.0-4.8 V) after 50 cycles are prominently higher than those of pristine Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃, which are 89.7% (3.0-4.3 V) and 62.39% (3.0-4.8 V). These outstanding electrochemical performances are mainly attributed to the alginic acid-based carbon coating, which can increase the electronic conductivity of materials and buffer the mechanical damage of the active materials during the Li ion insertion/extraction process, thus improving the electrochemical performance of the LVP/C samples.     

The effects of surface ligands and counter cations on the stability of anionic thiolated M12Ag32 （M=Au,Ag） nanoclusters

The stabilities of [M12Ag32（SR）30]4- （M = Ag, Au and SR = SPhF2, SPhCF3, SPhF） clusters having the same structure but different surface ligands or counter cations were systematically studied. It was clearly revealed that a subtle structural change in the surface ligands or counter cations could significantly alter the overall stability of [M12Ag32（SR）30]4 although they all had an electronic structure of 18-electron superatom shell closure. SPhF2 was found as a better surface ligand than SPhCF3 or SPhF to stabilize [M12Ag32（SR）30]4-. And the use of more bulky [（PPhj）2N]＋ as the counter cations was revealed to be more deleterious to the overall stability of [M12Ag32（SR）30]4- clusters than PPh4＋. [Au12Ag32（SR）30]4- was much more stable than [Ag44（SR）30]4 with the same surface ligands and counter cations. An exceptional stability was observed on （PPh4）4[Au12Ag32（SPhF2）30] which was stable in DMF for more than 8 days in air at 80 ℃. More research efforts are still needed to deeply understand why a small structural change could result in a significant change in the stability of noble metal nanoclusters.
