Photoelectrochemical Behavior of Sn‐Doped α‐Fe2O3 Photoanode with Different Reducer

Hematite has been considered as one of the most promising photoanode candidates for solar water‐splitting. However, its photoelectrochemical (PEC) efficiency is largely constrained by its sluggish oxygen evolution reaction. In this work, the photoelectrochemical performance of hematite was investigated in electrolytes containing different sacrificial agent. The photocurrent densities, onset potential, charge transfer resistance, Helmholtz capacitance at semiconductor liquid junctions (SCLJs), and their correlations were systematically studied. It was found that the onset potential is around the C_H peak potential and is related to the photovoltage. The surface states pinning the Fermi levels of the hematite photoanode are related to the adsorbed water molecules regardless of the sacrificial agents in the electrolyte.     

Synthesis,Structure, and Magnetic Properties of a Series of Dinuclear Lanthanide Complexes Assembled by Acetate and a Schiff Base Ligand

Five dinuclear lanthanide complexes [Ln₂L₂(NO₃)₂(OAc)₄] · 2CH₃CN [Ln = Gd ( 1 ), Tb ( 2 ), Dy ( 3 ), Ho ( 4 ), and Er ( 5 )] [L = 2‐((2‐pyridinylmethylene)hydrazine)ethanol] were synthesized from the reactions of Ln(NO₃)₃ · 6H₂O with L and CH₃COOH in the presence of triethylamine. Their crystal structures were determined. They show similar dinuclear cores with the two lanthanide ions bridged by four acetate ligands in the μ₂‐η¹:η² and μ₂‐η¹:η¹ bridging modes. Each Ln^III ion in complexes 1 – 5 is further chelated by one L ligand and one nitrate ion, leading to the formation of a nine‐coordinated mono‐capped square antiprism arrangement. The dinuclear molecules in 1 – 5 are consolidated by hydrogen bonds and π ··· π stacking interactions to build a two‐dimensional sheet. Their magnetic properties were investigated. It revealed antiferromagnetic interactions between the Gd^III ions in 1 and ferromagnetic interactions between the Tb^III ions in 2 . The profiles of χ_mT vs. T curves of 3 – 5 reveal that the magnetic properties of 3 – 5 are probably dominated by the thermal depopulation of the Stark sublevels of Ln^III ions.     

Zr 改性MnOx/MWCNTs催化剂的结构特征与低温SCR活性

以ZrO（NO₃）₂·2H₂O为前驱体对多壁碳纳米管（MWCNTs）进行了改性并负载MnO_x制备了MnO_x/ZrO₂/MWCNTs 催化剂. 考察了Zr 对催化剂低温选择性催化还原（SCR）反应活性的影响,并通过多种分析手段对催化剂的结构进行了表征. 结果表明Zr 的添加对催化剂的低温SCR活性具有显著的促进作用,当Zr 负载量为30%时,催化剂活性最佳. X射线衍射（XRD）、拉曼（Raman）光谱、透射电镜（TEM）、N₂吸附-脱附的表征结果分析表明,适量的Zr 改性促进了MnO_x在载体表面的分散,增强金属氧化物与MWCNTs 之间的作用,也能增加催化剂的比表面积、孔容和孔径. X 射线光电子能谱（XPS）、H₂程序升温还原（H₂-TPR）和NH₃程序升温脱附（NH₃-TPD）的分析结果则显示,Zr 能提高催化剂表面化学吸附氧浓度,促进Mn³⁺转化为Mn⁴⁺,从而使催化剂表面的活性位点增多,氧化还原能力增强,同时还提高了催化剂表面酸性位点的数量和强度,促进了NH₃的吸附,是MnO_x/ZrO₂/MWCNTs 催化剂低温SCR活性提高的主要原因.

Affinity foam fractionation of Trichoderma cellulase

Cellulase could not be selectively collected from fermentation broth by simple foam fractionation, because of the presence of other more surface-active compounds. A new approach of affinity foam fractionation was investigated for improvement. A hardwood hydrolysate (containing cellulose oligomers, substrates to cellulase) and two substrate analogs, i.e., carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and xylan hydrolysate, were added before the foaming process. The substrates and substrate analogs were indeed found to bind the cellulase selectively and form more hydrophobic complexes that partition more readily onto bubble surfaces. In this study, the effects of the type and concentration of substrate/analog as well as the presence of cells at different growth stages were examined. The foam fractionation properties evaluated included foaming speed, foam stability, foamate volume, and enrichment of filter paper unit (FPU) and individual cellulase components (i.e., endoglucanases, exoglucanases, and β-glucosidases). Depending on the broth and substrate/analog employed, the foamate FPU could be more than fourfold higher than the starting broth FPU. Addition of substrate/analog also deterred the enrichment of other extracellular proteins, resulting in the desired cellulase purification in the foamate. The value of E/P (enzyme activity-FPU/g/L of proteins) in the foamate reached as high as 18, from a lactose-based fermentation broth with original E/P of 5.6. Among cellulase components, exoglucanases were enriched the most and β-glucosidases the least. The study with CMC of different molecular weights (MW) and degrees of substitution (DS) indicated that the CMC with low DS and high MW performed better in cellulase foam fractionation.     

Theoretical study on the reaction mechanism of CH4 with CaO

The reaction pathways and energetics for the reaction of methane with CaO are discussed on the singlet spin state potential energy surface at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2df,2p) and QCISD/6-311++G(3df,3pd)//B3LYP/6-311+G(2df,2p) levels of theory. The reaction of methane with CaO is proposed to proceed in the following reaction pathways: CaO + CH₄ → CaOCH₄ → [TS] → CaOH + CH₃, CaO + CH₄ → OCaCH₄ → [TS] → HOCaCH₃ → CaOH + CH₃ or [TS] → CaCH₃OH → Ca + CH₃OH, and OCaCH₄ → [TS] → HCaOCH₃ → CaOCH₃ + H or [TS] → CaCH₃OH → Ca + CH₃OH. The gas-phase methane–methanol conversion by CaO is suggested to proceed via two kinds of important reaction intermediates, HOCaCH₃ and HCaOCH₃, and the reaction pathway via the hydroxy intermediate (HOCaCH₃) is energetically more favorable than the other one via the methoxy intermediate (HCaOCH₃). The hydroxy intermediate HOCaCH₃ is predicted to be the energetically most preferred configuration in the reaction of CaO + CH₄. Meanwhile, these three product channels (CaOH + CH₃, CaOCH₃ + H and Ca + CH₃OH) are expected to compete with each other, and the formation of methyl radical is the most preferable pathway energetically. On the other hand, the intermediates HCaOCH₃ and HOCaCH₃ are predicted to be the energetically preferred configuration in the reaction of Ca + CH₃OH, which is precisely the reverse reaction of methane hydroxylation.

Partial Carbamoylation of Cellulose Microspheres:a New Method to Prepare Adsorbents for Liquid Chromatography简

Micron-sized cellulose microspheres were prepared through sol-gel method using NaOH/urea solution to dissolve cellulose, then cross-linked by 1,6-hexanylene diisocyanate （HDI）, toluene 2,4-diisocyanate （TDI） and 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate （PDI）, respectively. The reaction conditions for partial modification of the microspheres were studied. The degree of substitution （DS） in cellulose was controlled by adjusting the reaction conditions. HDI-crosslinked microspheres were partially modified with phenyl isocyanate to obtain chiral stationary phases （CSPs）. The CSPs of a lower degree of crosslinking （DC） showed better chiral recognition ability than those of a higher DC. Meanwhile the CSPs prepared by pre- modification exhibited better chiral recognition ability than those prepared by pre-crosslinking.
