STUDY ON THE FORMATIONAL MECHANISM OF THE NORTHERN YELLOW (Huanghai) SEA COLD WATER MASS (Ⅱ)——DISCUSSION ON THE SOLUTION OF THE MODEL

The theoretical solution of the model of the Northern Yellow (Huanghai) Sea Cold Water Mass (NYSCWM) reveals that the NYSCWM is mainly formed through the continuous temperature increase of the overwintered water body above the Northern Yellow Sea Depression (NYSD) after spring when heat is continuously conducted from the sea surface to the'deeper layer. In the NYSCWM's growing period, (June-July), nonlinear, vertical convection and advection effects continuously increase, and are gradually balanced by the heat diffusion effect as the temperature increases from the surface to the bottom, which leads to the formation of an intensive thermocline and lateral front. Meanwhile, the three-dimensional circulation correspondingly occurs. In the NYSCWM's entire growing period, the horizontal circulation is always in the cyclonic motion, while the vertical circulation passes through a transition from a period with the cold centre as downwelling to a period with the cold centre as upwelling.     

Structure Analysis of PEMFC Cathode Catalyst Layer北大核心CSCD

The sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the cathode of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has always been one of the key factors limiting its commercialization. The optimization of the cathode catalytic layer structure plays an important role in improving fuel cell performance and reducing production costs. In this paper, two different catalysts (platinum nanoparticles (Pt-NPs) and platinum nanowires (Pt-NWs)) were prepared by using catalyst coated substrate (CCS) method. By constructing a double-layer catalytic layer structure, we analyzed the effect of different catalytic layer structures by performing a single cell test. The results showed that the dense platinum particle structure in the Pt-rich layer near the proton exchange membrane could promote the ORR rate, while the Pt-poor layer near the gas diffusion layer had higher porosity and average pore size, which is beneficial to the reaction gas transmission and diffusion. When the platinum loading ratio of the rich to poor platinum layer was 1:2, the best single cell performance was achieved. The current density at 0.6 V reached 1.05A窑cm-2, and the maximum power density was 0.69 W窑cm-2. Compared with the single-layer structure, the peak power density was increased by 21%. When growing Pt-NWs on the Pt-NPs base layer, the presence of Pt particles promoted the reduction of platinum precursors and provided deposition sites for newly formed Pt atoms, and the grown Pt-NWs had a more uniform distribution as well as a denser pile structure. The current density of the optimized Pt-NWs catalytic layer structure at 0.6 V increased by 21% . The MEA fabricated by double-catalytic layer method had a higher catalyst utilization rate and a guiding significance for the optimization of the cathode catalytic layer structure. The high activity shown by the platinum nanowires provides a new idea for the preparation of efficient catalysts. © 2022 Science Press. All rights reserved.     

Density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio investigations of the electronic and molecular structures of the monomer and the dimer of trimethylaluminium

The electronic and molecular structures of the monomer and dimer of trimethylalu-minium have been studied using density functional theory and ab initio MP2 method. The optimized geometry of the monomer Al(CH3)3 is of C3h symmetry, whereas that of the dimer [A1(CH3)3]2 contains a carbon-bridged four-membered ring structure with C2h symmetry. The hydrogen-bridged six-membered ring structure is found to be unstable. The calculated dimerization energy for the four-membered ring structure is 78 kJ/mol, in close proximity to the experimental value of 85.27 kJ/mol.

Effect of Zr and C Co-doping on the Optical Properties and Electronic Structure of TiO_2

The systematic trends and effect introduced by Zr and C co-doping to TiO2 of electronic structure and optical properties of anatase TiO2 have been calculated by the plane-wave ultra-soft pseudopotential density functional theory (DFT) method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation potential. Through the current calculations, the density of states (DOS), energy band structure and optical absorption coefficients have been obtained for TiO2 and compared with the doped TiO2, and the influence of electronic structure and optical properties caused by Zr and C co-doping has been presented qualitatively together. The results revealed that the energy band gap has been decreased owing to the doped Zr and C, whereas the optical absorption coefficients have been increased in the region of 400～800 nm and a red shift of absorption band can be found. Accordingly, photo catalytic activity of TiO2 has been enhanced. The current calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Reaction mechanism and chemoselectivity of gold(Ⅰ)-catalyzed cycloaddition of 1-(1-alkynyl) cyclopropyl ketones with nucleophiles to yield substituted furans

The mechanisms of gold(Ⅰ)-catalyzed cycloaddition of 1-(1-alkynyl) cyclopropyl ketones with nucleophiles have been investigated using density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory.A polarizable continuum model(PCM) has been established in order to evaluate the effects of solvents on the reactions.The results of the calculations indicate that the first step of the catalytic cycle is the cyclization of the carbonyl oxygen onto the triple bond which forms a new and stable resonance structure of an oxonium ion and a carbocation intermediate.The subsequent ring expansion step results in the formation of the final product and regeneration of the catalyst.Furthermore,the regioselectivity and effect of substituents has been discussed,including an analysis of energy,bond length,and natural bond orbital(NBO) charge distributions in the rate-determining step.Our computational results are consistent with earlier experimental observations.

Structure and Catalytic Behaviour of Saponite and Its Cross-Linking Product

Synthetic saponites have been intercalated with hydroxyl aluminium oligomers and characterized with several techniques. The basal 001 peak of the pillared saponite (PS) is 1. 8 nm. The amount of the aluminium in the tctrahedral sheet is correlative with cross-linking density. The sheet-to-pillar linkage mode may be Si-O-AlpⅥ. The acid sites in pillared saponite may locate either at surface of clay or at that of pillar. The cumene conversion is relative to accessible acid sites on the surface of PS. The pillar density in the PS has an effect on the pore structure which is correlative with shape selectivity during the reaction between ethanol and ammonia.     

AN EXPERIMENTAL SIMULATION ON FORMATION OF SUMMER MONSOON CIRCULATION OVER ASIA——IMPORTANT ROLE OF CROSS-EQUATORIAL CURRENT

In the experimental simulation carried out in a rotating annulus of stratified fluid, theeffects of the cross-equatorial current over the West Indian Ocean, the Tibetan Plateauand different thermal factors have been included according to the similarity requierements.and thus the Asian summer monsoon circulation systems, such as the SW monsoon current,the Indian monsoon depression, the monsoon trough, the Iran high and the shear line overSouth China in the lower-middle layer, and the Tibetan high and easterlies over South Asiain the upper layer, have been well simulated. The experimental results show that the cross-equatorial current over the West IndianOcean plays a key role in the formation of the Asian monsoon systems. The SW monsoonis directly and originally evolved from it. In addition, together with the NE current inthe southeastern part of the Iran high, it composes the cyclonic shear flow situation, andthus provides an important background for the formation of monsoon depression. Underthese conditions, the latent heat of rainfall and the cooling effect over the surface of theArabian Sea can cause the Indian monsoon depression to further develop. According tothe experimental results in different cases, this paper also sheds light on some of the fun-damental mechanism of monsoon systems.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Ca(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer Containing Dipyridine Dicarboxylic Ligand

The novel alkaline metal complex Ca(BPDCH)2(1, BPDCH2 = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid) has been synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of Ca(NO3)2·4H2O with 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid. The molecular and crystal structures of complex 1 have firstly been characterized by FTIR, elemental analysis, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The 3D MOF structure of complex 1 was interpreted by the versatile binding modes-the intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions of 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid ligand. The analysis results show complex 1 belongs to a coordination polymer with 3D MOF structure. The results of thermogravimetric analysis and solubility demonstrate complex 1 is a thermostable compound and does not dissolve in water and traditional organic solvents.     

Studies on the Adsorption of Asymmetrical Triblock Copolymers by Scheutjens-Fleer Theory and Monte Carlo Simulation

The adsorption of asymmetrical triblock copolymers from a non-selective solvent on solid surface has been studied by using Scheutjens-Fleer mean-field theory and Monte Carlo simulation method on lattice model. The main aim of this paper is to provide detailed computer simulation data, taking A8-kB20Ak as a key example, to study the influence of the structure of copolymer on adsorption behavior and make a comparison between MC and SF results. The simulated results show that the size distribution of various configurations and density-profile are dependent on molecular structure and adsorption energy. The molecular structure will lead to diversity of adsorption behavior. This discrepancy between different structures would be enlarged for the surface coverage and adsorption amount with increasing of the adsorption energy. The surface coverage and the adsorption amount as well as the bound fraction will become larger as symmetry of the molecular structure becomes gradually worse. The adsorption layer becomes thicker with increasing of symmetry of the molecule when adsorption energy is smaller but it becomes thinner when adsorption energy is higher. It is shown that SF theory can reproduce the adsorption behavior of asymmetrical triblock copolymers. However, systematic discrepancy between the theory and simulation still exists.The approximations inherited in the mean-filed theory such as random mixing and the allowance of direct back folding may be responsible for those deviations.     

The equation of chronoamperometric current on an oblate hemispheroid microelectrode and its verification

With the aspect of equivalent diffusion layer an analytical chronoamperometric current equation on an oblate hemispheroid microelectrode for reversible electrochemical condition is derived. To verify this equation the chronoammograms have been obtained with benzoquinone in McIlvaine buffer solution (pH 7.0) at a mercury oblate hemispheroid microelectrode. The experimental results agree with the theoretical conclusions.     

Proton Transfer Isomerization of Pyrazole in the Ground State:σν sπ Mechanism and Water Assisting Effect

The proton transfer isomerization of pyrazole and the water assisting effect by looping 1 to 4 water molecules on the singlet state potential energy surface have been investigated by using hybrid density functional theory method (B3PW91) with a 6-311++G** basis set. Two mechanisms were proposed to explain the mono- and multi-water assisting effects, respectively. The reactants and products of all groups have been characterized on their potential energy surfaces. For the isomerization of monomolecule pyrazole, the isomerization energy barrier is 46.4 kcal·mol-1. For the monohydration assisting mechanism, the reactant complex is connected to the product complex via two saddle points. The corresponding isomerization barriers are 46.7and 23.0 kcal(mol-1, respectively. As to the multihydration assisting mechanism, the isomerization barriers are 12.0, 10.9 and 13.14 kcal(mol-1 accordingly, when the number of water molecules is 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The multihydration assisting isomerization can occur in water-dominated environments, for example, in the organism, and thereby is crucial to energy transference. The deproton and dehydrogen energies of monomolecule pyrazole and various hydrated pyrazoles were calculated and then found much bigger than the isomerization barriers of their relative complexes, suggesting the impossibility of deprotonation or dehydrogenation. The isomerization of pyrazole is a proton-coupling-electron-migration process, but two different mechanisms are noticed, viz.σ- and π-type mechanisms. The π-bond of pyrazole participates in isomerization in the π-type mechanism, whereas only σelectron takes part in isomerization in the σ-type mechanism.     

High resolution scanning optical imaging of a frozen planar polymer light-emitting electrochemical cell: an experimental and modelling study

Light-emitting electrochemical cells(LECs) are organic photonic devices based on a mixed electronic and ionic conductor.The active layer of a polymer-based LEC consists of a luminescent polymer,an ion-solvating/transport polymer,and a compatible salt.The LEC p-n or p-i-n junction is ultimately responsible for the LEC performance.The LEC junction,however,is still poorly understood due to the difficulties of characterizing a dynamic-junction LEC.In this paper,we present an experimental and modeling study of the LEC junction using scanning optical imaging techniques.Planar LECs with an interelectrode spacing of 560μm have been fabricated,activated,frozen and scanned using a focused laser beam.The optical-beam-induced-current(OBIC)and photoluminescence(PL) data have been recorded as a function of beam location.The OBIC profile has been simulated in COMSOL that allowed for the determination of the doping concentration and the depletion width of the LEC junction.     

Synthesis and structure of linear hexanuclear manganese (Ⅱ)benzoate cluster

From a reaction system including benzoic acid and Mn(NO3)2 in alkali medium, two hexanuclear manganese benzoate cluster compounds have been synthesized. A compound [Et4N]2[Mn6(PhCOO)14] has been structurally characterized, which contains hexanuclear Mn11 moieties extending unlimitedly to form one-dimensional linear structure. Carboxyl oxygen atoms are bridged in variety of modes to the Mn atoms, forming an arrangement like a sinusoid for the Mn atoms. The structural parameters of these compounds were compared with the data obtained from EXAFS determination for the Mn cluster in the OEC of PS11, supporting that the coordination sphere of the Mn site in the OEC may contain carboxyl bridges. The possible combination modes between the carboxyl group and the Mn atoms have been suggested. The NMR signals exhibit widening and shift produced by the influence of the paramagnetic Mn" sites. The red-shift of the absorption in IR spectrum was observed to be attributed to the coordination of the carboxyl group to the Mn     

Structural transformations of carboxyl acids networks induced by concentration and oriented external electric field

The effects of concentration and an oriented external electric field on the transformations of hydrogenbonded structures of trimesic acid(TMA) and terephthalic acid(TPA) have been investigated at a liquidsolid interface by scanning tunneling microscopy(STM).The triangular periodic TMA framework can be transformed into a flower-like structure by changing the STM sample bias sign in situ.Networks of TMA and TPA are porous at a negative substrate bias,but typically change to relatively compact forms when the polarity of the applied bias is reversed.This change is reversible if the applied bias is reversed.The effects have potentials to locally control the capture and release of analytes in host-guest systems and the 2D morphology in multicomponent layers.     

Study on the Aggregation and Deaggregation Behaviors of Phosphatidylcholines

Phosphatdylcholines and their analogs, the functional building block of the membrane, are recently found to mediate multiple physiological processes and exhibit a broad range of desirable pharmacological effects, which involve hydrophobic lipophilic interactions (HLI) between the phospholipid and the cell membrane. The HLI behavior of phosphatJdylcholines (Ln) and their analogues 1, 2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoric acid bromoethyl ester (Pn), have been investigated in MeOH-H20 binary systems of different volume fractions (designated as Φ) of the organic component, by employing α-nephthylethyl lauryl ether (Np-12) as fluorescent probe. A very interesting observation is that the Ln possesses double character, i. e., it behaves both as an aggregator and as a deaggregator. The effects of the structure and the environment on the coaggregation and deaggregtion are also discussed.
