Direct laser sintered WC-10Co/Cu nanocomposites

In the present work, the direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) process was used to prepare the WC-Co/Cu nanocomposites in bulk form. The WC reinforcing nanoparticles were added in the form of WC-10 wt.% Co composite powder. The microstructural features and mechanical properties of the laser-sintered sample were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDX), and nanoindentation tester. It showed that the original nanometric nature of the WC reinforcing particulates was well retained without appreciable grain growth after laser processing. A homogeneous distribution of the WC reinforcing nanoparticles with a coherent particulate/matrix interfacial bonding was obtained in the laser-sintered structure. The 94.3% dense nanocomposites have a dynamic nanohardness of 3.47 GPa and a reduced elastic modulus of 613.42 GPa.     

Effect of the parameters on diffraction efficiency after thermal fixing for reflection geometry hologram storage in LiNbO3:Fe

For reflection geometry hologram storage in LiNbO₃:Fe, we have shown that the diffraction efficiency increases with doping level and thickness of storage material monotonically. When the acute angle between reference and z-axis is large enough for getting a relative small Bragg angle that is needed for angle multiplexing, smaller angle does good to diffraction efficiency after thermal fixing. And for absorption coefficient, there is an appropriate value responding to optimal diffraction efficiency after thermal fixing and we develop a theoretical model that predicts achievable diffraction efficiency after thermal fixing as a function of crystal thickness, doping level, acute angle between reference and z-axis and absorption coefficient. We compare this model with experiment results and get a good agreement.     

Selective C-C bonds formation,N-alkylation and benzo[d]imidazoles synthesis by a recyclable zinc composite

Earth abundant metals are much less expensive, promising, valuable metals and could be served as catalysts for the borrowing hydrogen reaction, dehydrogenation and heterocycles synthesis, instead of noble metals. The uniformly dispersed zinc composites were designed, synthesized and carefully characterized by means of XPS, EDS, TEM and XRD. The resulting zinc composite showed good catalytic activity for the N-alkylation of amines with amines, ketones with alcohols in water under base-free conditions, while unsaturated carbonyl compounds could also be synthesized by tuning the reaction conditions. Importantly, it was the first time to realize the synthesis of 2-aryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives by using this zinc composite under green conditions. Meanwhile, this zinc catalyst could be easily recovered and reused for at least five times.

A universal strategy for fast,scalable, and aqueous synthesis of multicomponent palladium alloy ultrathin nanowires

Noble metal alloy nanowires(NWs)with ultrathin diameters(2–3 nm)and precisely controllable elemental compositions have attracted dramatically growing attention for(electro)catalysis.Despites numerous achievements in past two decades,noble metal alloy NWs are mostly synthesized with the traditional oil-phase methods that suffer from some undesirable drawbacks.Here,we report a general strategy for fast,scalable,and aqueous synthesis of multicomponent Pd-based alloy ultrathin NWs with an average diameter of 2.6 nm,ranging from bimetallic PdM(PdFe,PdCo,PdNi,PdCu,PdZn,PdRu,PdRh,PdAg,PdCd,PdIr,PdPt,PdAu)and binary PdS/PdP NWs,to trimetallic PdM1M2 NWs(PdAuCu,PdCoNi,PdCuZn,PdCuNi,PdAgCu,PdAuCu,PdRuAg,PdAuRu,and PdPtAu),and to tetrametallic PdM1M2M3 NWs(PdAuAgCu,PdCoCuNi,PdAuCuNi,PdPtAuCu,and PdIrPtAu).The key to the success of this aqueous synthesis is the utilization of N2H4 as the extremely strong reducing agent that directs the synchronous reduction and anisotropic nucleation growth of multicomponent Pd alloy NWs along nanoconfined columnar phase assembled with amphiphilic dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride.As-resultant Pd-based alloy ultrathin NWs exhibit multiple structural and compositional synergies,which remarkably optimize the removal of poisoning ethoxy intermediates and thus improve electrocatalytic performance towards ethanol oxidation reaction(EOR).Among them,tetrametallic PdAuCuNi alloy ultrathin NWs hold a high EOR activity of 5.14 A mg-1 Pd and a low activation energy of 13.1 kJ mol^-1,both of which are much better than its counterpart catalysts alloyed with less elements.This work represents an important advance in precise aqueous synthesis of multicomponent noble metal alloy ultrathin NWs as the high-performance electrocatalysts for various targeted applications.

Fluorescent Determination of Succinylcholine Chloride by Naphthalimide/ Stilbazolium Dye ⊂ CP5A

Succinylcholine Chloride (SCC), a short-acting neuromuscular relaxant, is non-fluorescent in aqueous solutions. This property makes it impossible to be determined by direct fluorescent method. Naphthalimide dye (NA) exhibits very strong fluorescence emissions in aqueous solution, after complexing with carboxylatopillar[5]arene (CP5A) in aqueous solutions, the fluorescent quenched intensity of complex was observed. On the contraty, stilbazolium dye (SA) exhibits weak fluorescence emissions in aqueous solution, after being included by CP5A, a fluorescence enhancement was observed. However, adding SCC to the NA? CP5A or SA? CP5A complex solution led to the recovery of the fluorescence intensity, in the meantime, the color of SA? CP5A solution changed from dark yellow to light yellow. The competitive supramolecular interaction between SCC, NA and SA for CP5A was studied by spectrofluorometry, ¹H NMR. Herein, a FID (fluorescence indicator displacement) system to detect SCC based on NA? CP5A and SA? CP5A complex was developed.     

Phase relations of the (Pr1−xSmx)2Fe14B system

The phase relations in the (Pr_1?xSm_x)₂Fe₁₄B system in a whole concentration range have been studied by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The XRD patterns of the (Pr_1?xSm_x)₂Fe₁₄B samples have been refined by Rietveld method. These results reveal that all the alloys (Pr_1?xSm_x)₂Fe₁₄B are similar to the end member of the investigated system Pr₂Fe₁₄B with tetragonal structure (space group P4₂/mnm). The continuous solid solutions were formed in this system. The normalized lattice parameters and unit cell volumes of (Pr_1?xSm_x)₂Fe₁₄B solid solutions decrease linearly with x ranging from 0 to 1.0. The DTA measurements show that the peritectic temperature of (Pr_1?xSm_x)₂Fe₁₄B increases with increasing Sm content and no metastable phases are detected. Based on the DTA data, SEM–EDS and XRD results, the vertical section of Pr₂Fe₁₄B–Sm₂Fe₁₄B in the Pr–Sm–Fe–B system has been constructed.     

Three‐Dimensional Fe2N@C Microspheres Grown on Reduced Graphite Oxide for Lithium‐Ion Batteries and the Li Storage Mechanism

Nanostructured iron compounds as lithium‐ion‐battery anode material have attracted considerable attention with respect to improved electrochemical energy storage and excellent specific capacity, so lots of iron‐based composites have been developed. Herein, a novel composite composed of three‐dimensional Fe₂N@C microspheres grown on reduced graphite oxide (denoted as Fe₂N@C‐RGO) has been synthesized through a simple and effective technique assisted by a hydrothermal and subsequent heating treatment process. As the anode material for lithium‐ion batteries, the synthetic Fe₂N@C‐RGO displayed excellent Li⁺‐ion storage performance with a considerable initial capacity of 847 mAh g^?1, a superior cycle stability (a specific discharge capacity of 760 mAh g^?1 remained after the 100th cycle), and an improved rate‐capability performance compared with those of the pure Fe₂N and Fe₂N‐RGO nanostructures. The good performance should be attributed to the existence of RGO layers that can facilitate to enhance the conductivity and shorten the lithium‐ion diffusion path; in addition, the carbon layer on the surface of Fe₂N can avert the structure decay caused by the volume change during the lithiation/delithiation process. Moreover, in situ X‐ray absorption fine‐structure analysis demonstrated that the excellent performance can be attributed to the lack of any obvious change in the coordination geometry of Fe₂N@C‐RGO during the charge/discharge processes.
