Real structure of KInS2 polytypes

KInS₂ crystallizes in a two dimensionally ordered structure, which is related to the TlGaSe₂-type structure. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and the analysis of diffuse scattering give evidence for defined shifts between ordered layers, which establish a lamellar nanostructure. The different arrangements of the lamellas, designated as A and B are fully compatible with the pseudosymmetry of KInS₂. Consequently no misfit of the real structure can be observed by HRTEM. Only in rare cases the arrangement of the layers is at least partially ordered within extended domains and the diffuse scattering narrows into Bragg reflections. Two different strategies for the simulation of the diffuse scattering are presented. Besides the approximation of the diffuse scattering by Bragg intensities which are calculated on the basis of an ordered supercell, the diffuse scattering can also be simulated in dependence of the probability of AB or BA neighbors.     

Phase equilibria in the CdI2-Ag2Se system

The phase diagram of the system CdI₂-Ag₂Se is studied by means of X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis and measurements of the density of the material. The unit cell parameters of the intermediate phase 2CdI₂·3Ag₂Se were determined a = 0.6387 Å, b = 4.311 Å, c = 4.044 Å; α = 113.72°, β = 90.27° and γ = 94.85°. The intermediate phase 2CdI₂·3Ag₂Se has a polymorphic transition at 125 °C. It melts incongruently at 660 °C.     

Effect of calcination conditions on MoO3/SiO2 catalysts for synthesis of methylphenyl carbonate

The effect of calcination conditions on MoO₃/SiO₂ catalysts for the synthesis of methylphenyl carbonate was investigated in terms of catalytic activities and surface properties. The calcination temperature was varied in the range of 300 to 800^oC. These calcination conditions have shown a close relationship with the catalyst activities. The optimal calcination temperature of MoO₃/SiO₂was found to be around 550-600^oC. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR and XPS analysis.     

Effect of CO2 on O2 photo-adsorption on anatase

The presence of CO₂ on TiO₂ affects the process of oxygen photo-adsorption depending on the hydroxylation state of the surface. In dehydroxylated samples CO₂ blocks the formation of O ₃ ^– and O ₂ ^– . On H₂O₂/TiO₂ samples pretreated in the range of 150–200°C it leads to CO₂–O ₂ ^– species.

Energy band genesis from sublattice states in MgSiN2 and MgGeN2 crystals

The electronic structure of MgSiN₂ and MgGeN₂ orthorhombic crystals and their sublattices was analyzed at the density functional theory level using the sublattice method. The energy-band structure of the orthorhombic crystals is compared to the structure of their hypothetic analogues with the chalcopyrite lattice. The origin of the specific features of the valence band structure from the sublattice states is determined in the studied crystals, which is mainly due to the interaction of atoms in SiN₄ and GeN₄ cation tetrahedra.

Effect of the activation conditions on the catalytic properties of Pt/Al2O3 catalysts

The effect of the activation conditions of Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts has been investigated in the hydrogenation of benzene and in the hydrogenolysis of ethane. Whatever the conditions of calcination or reduction, specific activities of all catalysts for benzene hydrogenation remain constant. On the other hand, for identical dispersities, the cacination in a wet argon flow increases the specific activity of platinum for hydrogenolysis of ethane, pointing out the role of wet pretreatment on defect building or on the faceting of supported metallic catalysts.

Effect of sol-gel derived Al2O3-ZrO2 and Al2O3-TiO2 oxides on the selectivity of NO reduction by CO under oxidizing conditions

The role of Al₂O₃-ZrO₂ and Al₂O₃-TiO₂ sol-gel prepared supports in the activity of platinum for the NO reduction by CO under oxidizing conditions has been studied. ²⁷Al MAS-NMR spectra have shown the formation of pentacoordinate Al^V in alumina-zirconia support. ZrO₂ or TiO₂ crystalline phases cannot be identified by XRD diffraction, suggesting the formation of nanosized structures supported on alumina. When the reaction was carried out in presence of oxygen, large amounts of NO₂ were observed on Pt/Al₂O₃-ZrO₂catalyst, while the formation of N₂O is more prononced on Pt/Al₂O₃-TiO₂ catalyst. The effect of water during NO reduction is discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Effect of electrolysis conditions on photocatalytic activities of the anodized TiO2 films

Photocatalytic activities of anodized TiO₂ films for decomposition of gaseous acetaldehyde were investigated. The anodized TiO₂ films were fabricated by galvanostatic anodization in a mixed electrolyte composed of H₂SO₄, H₃PO₄, and H₂O₂. Pre-nitridation treatment effectively enhanced the photocatalytic activity of the anodized TiO₂ films. The electrolysis parameters such as anodization time, current density, electrolyte temperature, and electrolyte composition significantly affected the photocatalytic activity of the anodized TiO₂ films. The improvement of photocatalytic activity of the anodized films is attributed to increase in surface areas of the anodized specimens.

Synthesis, crystal and band structures, and properties of a new supramolecular complex (Hg2As)2(CdI4)

A new quaternary supramolecular complex (Hg₂As)₂ (CdI₄) (1) has been prepared by the solid-state reaction and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 crystallizes in the space group P2₁ of the monoclinic system with two formula units in a cell: a=7.945(4), b=12.934(6), c=8.094(4) Å, β=116.898°(1), V=741.7(6) Å³. The structure of 1 is characterized by a tridymite-like three-dimensional cationic framework, which is composed of mercury and arsenic atoms, with the channels being occupied by discrete CdI₄²⁻ tetrahedral guest-anions. The optical properties were investigated in terms of the diffuse reflectance and Fourier transform infrared spectra. The electronic band structure along with density of states (DOS) calculated by DFT method indicates that the present compound is a semiconductor with a direct band gap, and that the optical absorption is mainly originated from the charge transitions from I-5p and As-4p to Cd-5s and Hg-6s states.

制备工艺对NiFe2O4分解CO2活性的影响

随着大气中CO2浓度的增加,温室效应日趋严重,促使人们对大气中CO2的转化与消除这一课题更加重视。1990年Yutaka Tamaura[1]发现氧缺位磁铁矿几乎可以100%分解CO2后,为解决温室效应提供了一条新的探索途径。通过对不同铁酸盐MFe2O4(M=Fe,Mn[2],Co[3],Zn[4],Ni[5]等)分解CO2活性的考察,发现铁酸镍在300℃分解CO2的活性比其它铁酸盐都好。NiFe2O4的制备最常采用的是共沉淀法、柠檬酸溶胶凝胶法和水热法,3种方法由于制备     

CaO对Cu-ZnO-ZrO_2催化CO_2加H_2合成甲醇性能影响

用CaO作为改性助剂,采用并流共沉淀法制备了CuO∶ZnO∶ZrO_2为5∶4∶1(物质的量比),CaO添加量为0、1%、2%、4%、8%、16%(摩尔分数)的六组催化剂。用X射线衍射(XRD)、微商热重(TG-DTG)、傅里叶红外(FT-IR)、N2吸附脱附(BET)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、氢气程序升温还原(H_2-TPR)、CO_2程序升温脱附(CO_2-TPD)、NH_3程序升温脱附(NH_3-TPD)对催化剂进行了表征。用自制固定床评价了催化剂活性。结果表明,添加CaO后,催化剂路易斯酸性和表面碱性增强;催化剂母体中高温碳酸盐含量增加,热稳定性增强,CuO颗粒粒径变小,Cu-Zn协同作用增强,Cu比表面积增大,分散性变好。催化剂活性受到表面酸碱性、铜比表面积、Cu-Zn协同作用和铜分散性共同影响。当CaO为2%时,铜比表面积为79.3 m2/g、铜分散度为34.8%、CO_2转化率为24.55%、甲醇选择性为19.01%、甲醇收率为0.044 g/(gcat·h),催化剂活性最好。过量CaO占据催化剂孔道和覆盖表面活性位,使催化剂路易斯酸性和表面碱性过强,CuO与H_2有效接触减少,CO_2难以脱附,催化活性下降。因此,适量CaO(2%)添加可促进CO_2加氢反应合成甲醇。     

Effect of pretreatment conditions on the activity and selectivity of Pt/Al2O3 reforming catalysts

The optimal reduction conditions for Pt/Al₂O₃ vary depending on whether the catalyst is fresh or lined-out and chlorine is present or absent. Optimal pretreatment conditions proposed by previous workers for fresh catalysts therefore have no meaning for industrial reformers since reforming catalysts spend most of their life under line-out conditions. Results from this work lend support to the strong hydrogen chemisorption theory.

Effect of conversion of NO2 into no on the catalytic reduction of NO2 with C3H6 in excess O2

During the reduction of NO₂ by C₃H₆ in O₂ over alumina-supported Au, Rh and Pt it was found that three parallel reactions take place,i.e., reduction of NO₂ to N₂ and N₂O, partial decomposition of NO₂ to NO and oxidation of C₃H₆ to CO and CO₂. In the absence of C₃H₆, the NO₂→NO+O₂ reaction reaches a fast equilibrium on Rh and Pt but not on Au and γ-Al₂O₃. Addition of C₃H₆ to the NO₂+O₂ mixture leads to the formation of NO above equilibrium conversion levels.     

Effect of TiO2 crystallite size on the dispersion of Co on nanocrystalline TiO2

Nanocrystalline TiO₂ powders with average crystallite sizes of 9–15 nm were synthesized by the solvothermal method and employed as supports for Co catalysts. The value of H₂ chemisorption/specific surface area of Co/TiO₂ increased significantly with increasing TiO₂ crystallite size. It was suggested that the higher amount of Ti³⁺ surface defects on the larger crystalline TiO₂ resulted in a stronger interaction between Co and TiO₂, hence, higher dispersion of Co was obtained.     

PhI(OAc)2/I2 induced aziridination of alkenes with TsNH2 under mild conditions

The aziridination of alkenes with the direct use of p-toluenesulfonamide (TsNH₂) was achieved by using PhI(OAc)₂ and I₂ under mild conditions. The reaction affords aziridines in moderate to good yields, and offers good manipulability by avoiding the use of the expensive metal catalyst and the unstable and explosive PhINTs.
