Integration of Fe_2O_3-based photoanode and atomically dispersed cobalt cathode for efficient photoelectrochemical NH_3 synthesis

Realizing nitrogen reduction reaction(NRR) to synthesis NH_3 under mild conditions has gained extensive attention as a promising alternative way to the energy-and emission-intensive Haber-Bosch process.Among varieties of potential strategies,photoelectrochemical(PEC) NRR exhibits many advantages including utilization of solar energy,water(H_2O) as the hydrogen source and ambient operation conditions.Herein,we have designed a solar-driven PEC-NRR system integrating high-efficiency Fe_2O_3-based photoanode and atomically dispersed cobalt(Co) cathode for ambient NH_3 synthesis.Using such solar-driven PEC-NRR system,high-efficiency Fe_2O_3-based photoanode is responsible for H_2O/OH oxidatio n,and meanwhile the generated photoelectrons transfer to the single-atom Co cathode for the N_2 reduction to NH_3.As a result,this system can afford an NH_3 yield rate of 1021.5 μg mgco~(-1) h~(-1) and a faradic efficiency of 11.9% at an applied potential bias of 1.2 V(versus reversible hydrogen electrode) on photoanode in 0.2 mol/L NaOH electrolyte under simulated sunlight irradiation.     

承压热冲击下RPV承载力影响因素的数值分析

为研究承压热冲击下含缺陷的核反应堆压力容器(RPV)的极限承载力,借助ABAQUS软件建立含表面裂纹的RPV的3D有限元模型.通过热-力耦合分析,分别得到筒体区和喷嘴区的瞬态温度场和应力场.考虑到实际RPV断裂试验工作具有相当大的危险性,使用扩展有限元法(XFEM)对裂纹的扩展情况进行数值模拟.通过对含有不同位置和尺寸裂纹、具有不同壁厚容器的极限承载力分析,得到满足强度条件的各临界裂纹尺寸.结果表明,当表面裂纹距喷嘴口的距离达到一定程度,其长度对RPV结构的极限承载力不构成影响.在喷嘴区,随裂纹距喷嘴口距离的减小,临界裂纹尺寸迅速减小,喷嘴口上仅允许深长比较小的浅表面裂纹出现.     

Ambient Electrosynthesis of Ammonia on a Core–Shell-Structured Au@CeO2 Catalyst: Contribution of Oxygen Vacancies in CeO2

Electrosynthesis of NH₃ through the N₂ reduction reaction (NRR) under ambient conditions is regarded as promising technology to replace the industrial energy- and capital-intensive Haber–Bosch process. Herein, a room-temperature spontaneous redox approach to fabricate a core–shell-structured Au@CeO₂ composite, with Au nanoparticle sizes below about 10 nm and a loading amount of 3.6 wt %, is reported for the NRR. The results demonstrate that as-synthesized Au@CeO₂ possesses a surface area of 40.7 m² g⁻¹ and a porous structure. As an electrocatalyst, it exhibits high NRR activity, with an NH₃ yield rate of 28.2 μg h⁻¹ cm⁻² (10.6 μg h⁻¹ mg⁻¹_cat., 293.8 μg h⁻¹ mg⁻¹_Au) and a faradaic efficiency of 9.50 % at −0.4 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode in 0.01 m H₂SO₄ electrolyte. The characterization results reveal the presence of rich oxygen vacancies in the CeO₂ nanoparticle shell of Au@CeO₂; these are favorable for N₂ adsorption and activation for the NRR. This has been further verified by theoretical calculations. The abundant oxygen vacancies in the CeO₂ nanoparticle shell, combined with the Au nanoparticle core of Au@CeO₂, are electrocatalytically active sites for the NRR, and thus, synergistically enhance the conversion of N₂ into NH₃.

美国肯塔基州的物理探究评价及其启示

美国于1996年出台<国家科学教育标准>之后,各州纷纷以此为基准开发各自的科学教育标准,这些标准的突出特征就是把科学探究作为重点课程目标,尽管科学探究的重要性已被普遍认同,但对科学探究能力的评价方式却有不同认识和做法,众所周知,由于评价的高利害性及人的趋利性,导致了评什么就教什么,怎么评就怎么教,这种做法在世界各国均不同程度存在.

Optimization of molar content of amidoxime and acrylic acid in UHMWPE fibers for improvement of seawater uranium adsorption capacity

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibrous adsorbents with different molar content of amidoxime (M _AO) and acrylic acid (M _AA) were prepared by graft polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) and acrylic acid (AA), followed by amidoximation. Uranium adsorption experiments in both artificial and natural seawater were carried out to investigate the effect of M _AO and M _AA on the uranium adsorption capacity of UHMWPE fibrous adsorbents. Adsorption results showed that the UHMWPE fibrous adsorbent with M _AO = 4.27 and M _AA = 4.64 mmol/g-ads exhibited better uranium adsorption capacity in both artificial (7.01 mg-U/g-ads) and natural (0.77 mg-U/g-ads) seawater.
