傅立叶变换红外光谱技术在超临界CO2作用聚合物体系中的应用

超临界CO₂（scCO₂）作为一种物理化学性质优良、具有高扩散速率及优良溶解性能的溶剂,在科学研究及工业生产中广受青睐。将scCO₂应用于聚合物体系中,CO₂ 与聚合物间特殊的相互作用有利于CO₂分子在聚合物中的吸附与扩散。同时通过CO₂的吸附及其对聚合物的溶胀和塑化作用,聚合物所处微观化学环境以及整体结构性质会发生一定的变化。由于傅立叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）技术能够有效地考察化学环境变化对分子结构造成的影响,这一表征技术在超临界CO₂作用体系中广为应用。本文主要选取了近年来利用FTIR技术考察scCO₂作用于聚合物体系的一些实例,从CO₂-聚合物相互作用机理,scCO₂对聚合物或生物大分子的加工过程的影响两方面,阐述了利用红外光谱技术在scCO₂作用体系中的应用以及前景。

采用水热法制备粒径为1~2 μm的BiVO₄微米片,然后在微米片表面沉积不同含量的Ag₂CO₃颗粒,制备Ag₂CO₃/BiVO₄复合微米片光催化剂。利用X射线粉末衍射（XRD）、扫描电镜（SEM）、红外光谱（FTIR）、紫外-可见漫反射光谱（UV-Vis DRS）、光致发光（PL）光谱、瞬态光电流-时间响应对催化剂进行表征。以可见光为光源,罗丹明B为降解对象进行光催化活性测试。结果表明,复合适量Ag₂CO₃有利于提高光催化剂的比表面积,改善催化剂的表面性能。活性测试结果表明,当复合10%（w/w）Ag₂CO₃时,Ag₂CO₃/BiVO₄光催化活性最佳,比纯BiVO₄提高4.4倍。光致发光（PL）光谱、瞬态光电流-时间响应测试结果表明,复合Ag₂CO₃能有效抑制光生电子与空穴的复合。自由基捕获实验结果表明,该体系的活性氧物质为空穴和羟基自由基。Ag₂CO₃/BiVO₄复合光催化剂活性提高的原因,是较宽带隙的Ag₂CO₃与较窄带隙的BiVO₄形成的异质结有效抑制了光生电子与空穴的复合,同时两者适宜的能带结构保证产生更多的空穴,从而具有更强的氧化能力。

Li2ZrO3材料吸收CO2性能的进一步研究

用不同结构的ZrO₂合成了一系列在高温下吸收CO₂的Li₂ZrO₃材料，并详细的研究了反应物质的物理和化学性质对生成物吸收CO₂性能的影响。采用SEM、XRD以及TG分析法分别进行了材料结构及其吸收CO₂性能的表征，并使用XPS法测定了材料表面的元素组成。实验结果表明，使用不同结构的ZrO₂合成的Li₂ZrO₃，其吸收CO₂的性能明显的不同。用ZrO₂(t)(四方)合成的Li₂ZrO₃吸收CO₂的速度快，在500 ℃下，20% CO₂（80%空气）的气氛中保持3h，其吸收量可达25（±0.6）%（wt），而以ZrO₂(m)(单斜)为原料制备的Li₂ZrO₃在上述吸收条件下重量仅增加9（±0.6）%（wt）。此外，实验结果还表明化学元素的掺杂对用ZrO₂(m)合成的Li₂ZrO₃的CO₂吸收速度及吸收容量影响较大。     

乙二胺改性轻金属铝-金属有机骨架材料用于CO2/CH4分离

胺类分子在CO₂的捕获中可以起到选择性提升的作用,本文选择小尺寸的乙二胺分子对具有不饱和金属位点的轻金属铝基金属有机骨架（Al-MOFs）材料MIL-100Al进行改性,利用XRD、N₂吸附和FT-IR等对改性材料的结构进行表征,测试了不同浓度的乙二胺改性的MIL-100Al对CO₂和CH₄吸附性能。结果表明,与原始的MIL-100Al材料相比,改性后的材料对CO₂吸附量有明显提高,CH₄的吸附量却降低,从而进一步提高了材料的CO₂/CH₄吸附选择性,提升了吸附分离的效果。     

CO2在氨基改性MIL-101(Cr)中吸附的分子模拟

采用实验与分子模拟结合的方法研究298 K下CO₂在氨基改性得到的MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂和MIL-101（Cr）-ED（ED：乙二胺）上的吸附性能。比较MIL-101（Cr）、MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂和MIL-101（Cr）-ED的吸附等温线与吸附热的结果,表明采用直接合成改性法得到的MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂比采用合成后再改性得到的MIL-101（Cr）-ED有更高的CO₂吸附容量。进一步比较密度分布图和径向密度分布曲线,分析CO₂在氨基改性MIL-101（Cr）中的吸附位,表明在低压下CO₂首先吸附在MIL-101（Cr）微孔的超级四面体中,随着吸附压力的增大逐渐填充到更大的孔中。氨基的存在增加了CO₂的吸附位点,使MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂具有较高CO₂吸附容量;同时MIL-101（Cr）-ED中的ED分子的存在增加了CO₂的吸附位点,使MIL-101（Cr）-ED也具有较高CO₂吸附容量;但是MIL-101（Cr）-ED中的ED分子占据了MIL-101（Cr）中Cr的吸附位点,使Cr对CO₂的吸附强度减弱,同时可吸附位点少于MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂,导致其对CO₂的吸附容量少于MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂。     

一种基于乙二胺-丁二醇体系的新颖的二氧化碳捕集利用方法

在温和条件下,发展了一种以丁二醇-乙二胺体系新颖、高效地固定CO₂的方法。在此方法中,CO₂被快速激活并转化为一种固态的CO₂储集材料（CO₂SM）,通过XPS、XRD、FTIR和¹³C NMR等技术表征证实为烷基碳酸胺。基于TGA结果,CO₂SM的水溶液可以与Ca（OH）₂和Ba（OH）₂反应制备CaCO₃和BaCO₃微粒,还可用于循环吸收和解吸CO₂的过程。此外,丁二醇-乙二胺水溶液在20 ℃下吸收CO₂并在98.6 ℃下解吸CO₂,没有明显的溶液损失。因此,丁二醇-乙二胺体系提供了一种绿色、高效、低成本的二氧化碳捕集利用方法。     

K2CO3含量对Ni-Cu-Mn-K/Al2O3水煤气变换催化剂结构和性能的影响

以γ-Al₂O₃为载体，采用等体积浸渍法，制备了不同K₂CO₃含量的Ni-Cu-Mn-K/Al₂O₃水煤气变换催化剂，采用低温N₂吸附、XRD、TPD和TPR，考察了K₂CO₃含量对催化剂结构和性能的影响。结果表明:K₂CO₃的加入使催化剂的还原温度有所提高，适量的K₂CO₃能增加活性组分的电子密度，从而增强其给电子活化CO的能力，提高催化剂的活性。但过量的K₂CO₃使得催化剂比表面积和孔容降低，且导致催化剂对CO吸附过强，催化活性降低。当Ni-Cu-Mn-K/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂中K₂CO₃的添加量为7.5%时，且催化剂经530 ℃耐热15 h后，在350 ℃时水煤气变换反应中CO转化率达62.29%。

CNT的含量为1.5% (w)的Ag₂CO₃/1.5% CNT复合物活性最高, 经过60 min 的降解, 甲基橙的降解率达到93%. 与纯相纳米Ag₂CO₃比较, CNT的加入还提高了Ag₂CO₃的稳定性, 经过三次循环降解, Ag₂CO₃/1.5% CNT复合物还能降解81%的甲基橙, 而纳米Ag₂CO₃只能降解59.5%的甲基橙. 其活性和稳定性提高的原因是由于CNT的高导电性, 它不仅促进了电子-空穴对的分离, 还能快速转移产生的光生电子.     

Reversible Hydrophobic–Hydrophilic Transition of Ionic Liquids Driven by Carbon Dioxide

Ionic liquids (ILs) with a reversible hydrophobic–hydrophilic transition were developed, and they exhibited unique phase behavior with H₂O: monophase in the presence of CO₂, but biphase upon removal of CO₂ at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Thus, coupling of reaction, separation, and recovery steps in sustainable chemical processes could be realized by a reversible liquid–liquid phase transition of such IL‐H₂O mixtures. Spectroscopic investigations and DFT calculations showed that the mechanism behind hydrophobic–hydrophilic transition involved reversible reaction of CO₂ with anion of the ILs and formation of hydrophilic ammonium salts. These unique IL‐H₂O systems were successfully utilized for facile one‐step synthesis of Au porous films by bubbling CO₂ under ambient conditions. The Au porous films and the ILs were then separated simultaneously from aqueous solutions by bubbling N₂, and recovered ILs could be directly reused in the next process.     

CO2/离子液体体系热力学性质的分子动力学模拟

超临界CO2和离子液体(ILs)是两种绿色溶剂. 离子液体可以溶解超临界CO2, 而超临界CO2不能溶解离子液体. 由此设计构成的CO2/IL二元系统, 同时具备了超临界CO2和离子液体的许多优点: 既可以降低离子液体的粘度, 还便于相分离, 是新型的耦合绿色溶剂. 其物理化学性质对于设计反应、分离等过程非常重要. 因此, 本文以CO2/IL二元系统为研究对象, 通过选择合适的分子力场和系综, 运用分子动力学(MD)模拟方法研究了CO2/[bmim][PF6]、CO2/[bmim][NO3]等体系的热力学性质. 结果表明, CO2对ILs膨胀度的影响非常小, 当CO2摩尔分数为0.5时, ILs膨胀仅为15%. CO2/ILs的扩散系数远小于CO2膨胀甲醇、乙醇溶液的扩散系数. 随着CO2含量的增加, ILs的扩散系数提高, 粘度显著下降, 表明CO2能有效地改善ILs扩散性, 减小其粘度. 因此CO2可用以改善离子液体溶剂体系的传递特性, 增强反应分离过程在其中的进行.     

Tunable LCST-type phase behavior of [FeCl4]--based ionic liquids in water

In this work, 16 kinds of [FeCl₄]^--based magnetic ionic liquids (ILs) with different cation structures have been designed and synthesized, and their structures are characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy. Then the lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type phase behavior of these magnetic ILs in water is investigated as a function of concentration. It is shown that cation structure, alkyl chain length and molar ratio of FeCl₃/chloride IL have a significant influence on the LCST of the mixtures. The phase separation temperature can be tuned efficiently by these factors. Meanwhile, the LCST-type phase separation process is also investigated by dynamic light scattering. The results support the mechanism that the hydrogen bonds of the [FeCl₄]^- anion with water have been gradually disrupted to form ILs aggregates with increasing temperature. In addition, the stability of the ILs in water is also examined in some details. These LCST-type phase separation systems may have potential applications in extraction and separation techniques at room temperature.     

Metal(salen)-catalyzed oxidation of limonene in supercritical CO2

Summary The Mn(Salen)Cl and Ni(Salen)-catalyzed oxidation of limonene has been carried out. The catalytic cycle involved PhIO via a rebound mechanism. In all cases the use of organic solvents resulted in reasonable selectivities of oxidized products. The use of supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO₂) led at least to comparable results in terms of conversions, but showed different selectivities. In ordinary solvents epoxidation appears to predominate over allylic oxidation. This tendency, in SCCO₂, appears only after 4 h of reaction. Shorter reaction times (2 h) appear to lead to opposite selectivity. These results showed the advantages of using SCCO₂ as solvent in these reactions. SCCO₂ is much more compatible with green technology than are organic solvents.     

NMR study of phase separation in D2O/ethanol solutions of poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide) induced by solvent composition and temperature

¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies were applied to investigate phase separation in solutions of poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide) (PIPMAm) in D₂O/ethanol (EtOH) mixtures induced by solvent composition (cononsolvency) and temperature. Effects of EtOH content in D₂O/EtOH mixtures and temperature on the appearance and extent of the phase separation were characterized. Differences in mesoglobules formed during the phase separation induced by cononsolvency and temperature were found. For temperature-induced phase separation, ¹³C spin-spin relaxation times showed that besides the free EtOH expelled from the PIPMAm mesoglobules, there are also EtOH molecules bound in these mesoglobules. On the other hand, virtually no bound EtOH molecules were detected for mesoglobules formed as a consequence of the cononsolvency. For PIPMAm random copolymers containing negatively charged methacrylate units the phase separation induced by solvent composition was not observed.

Fluorolactonization of unsaturated carboxylic acids with F-TEDA-BF4 in ionic liquids

Fluorolactonization of unsaturated carboxylic acids under action of the electrophilic reagent F-TEDA-BF₄ in ionic liquids (ILs) has been studied. This reaction proceeds in ILs faster and provides a better stereoselectivity in comparison to acetonitrile as reaction media. Gem-difluorinated γ-lactones have been synthesized by interaction of unsaturated carboxylic acids with F-TEDA-BF₄ in ILs.     

Temperature-responsive ionic liquid/water interfaces: relation between hydrophilicity of ions and dynamic phase change

Phase separation between ionic liquids (ILs) and molecular liquids is of interest physico-chemically, and also has industrial relevance. IL/water mixtures are of great interest in many fields. Unlike static phase separation between IL and water, dynamic shifts of IL/water mixtures between a homogeneous mixture and separate phases have a wide variety of applications. The miscibility of ILs with water generally increases upon heating, and a few ILs undergo a lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type phase transition with water in which the separated biphases become miscible upon cooling. As the phase transition is controlled by changing the temperature by a few degrees, the LCST-type phase response of IL/water mixtures makes it possible to use ILs as solvents in various energy-saving processes. Since many hydrophilic ILs do not undergo phase separation with water, we aim to determine the necessary conditions under which hydrophobic ILs undergo the phase transition. Based on physico-chemical analysis of many hydrophobic ILs that undergo a phase separation after mixing with water, we find there is a particular range of "hydrophilicity" of these hydrophobic ILs within which the LCST-type phase transition is possible. Accordingly, a hydrophilicity index (HI) of ILs is proposed, in terms of the number of water molecules in the separated IL phase. The HI value proves to be a good indicator of the phase behaviour of IL/water mixtures, as well as their phase transition temperature. Potential application of the LCST-type phase change to the selective extraction of water-soluble proteins is also summarised.     

Morphology,Structure, and Dynamics of Pentacene Thin Films and Their Nanocomposites with [C2C1im][NTf2] and [C2C1im][OTF] Ionic Liquids

In this study, a homogeneous thin film growth of pentacene onto indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass surfaces is explored using a high-resolution and reproducible vapor deposition methodology. Moreover, vacuum thermal evaporation of ionic liquids (ILs) ([C₂C₁im][NTf₂] and [C₂C₁im][OTF]) onto ITO, gold/palladium (AuPd) and pentacene surfaces were performed. A greater wettability behavior of ILs is observed for surfaces containing AuPd. Sequential and simultaneous depositions of ILs and pentacene were explored. Simultaneous depositions lead to the formation of nanocomposites films, consisting of IL micro- and nanodroplets covered by pentacene layers. Plasma surface treatment was used to induce the ILs droplets coalescence and explore the dynamics and phase separation of the nanocomposites. The [C₂C₁im][OTF] droplets were found to be completely covered with pentacene, which suggests a great affinity between cation-anion pairs and the aromatic moiety. Pentacene films and their nanocomposites with ILs exhibit a typical optical band gap of E_gap=1.77 eV, indicating that the nanocomposite phase domains are large enough to behavior as the bulk.     

Computer‐Aided Design of Ionic Liquids as CO2 Absorbents

Ionic liquids (ILs), vary strongly in their interaction with CO₂. We suggest simple theoretical approach to predict the CO₂ absorption behavior of ILs. Strong interaction of the CO₂ with the IL anions corresponds to chemical absorption whereas weak interaction indicates physical absorption. A predictive estimate with a clear distinction between physical and chemical absorption can be simply obtained according to geometries optimized in the presence of a solvation model instead of optimizing it only in gas phase as has been done to date. The resulting Gibbs free energies compare very well with experimental values and the energies were correlated with experimental capacities. Promising anions, for ionic liquids with reversible CO₂ absorption properties can be defined by a reaction Gibbs free energy of absorption in the range of ?30 to 16 kJ mol^?1.
