LiFe_1???x Sm _x PO₄/C cathode materials were synthesized though a facile hydrothermal method. Compared with high-temperature solid-phase sintering, the method can allow for the fabrication of low Sm content (2 %), a scarce and expensive rare earth element, while the presence of an optimized carbon coating with large amount of sp²-type carbon sharply increases the material’s electrochemical performance. The high-rate dischargeability at 5 C, as well as the exchange current density, can be increased by 21 and 86 %, respectively, which were attributed to the fine size and the large cell parameter a/c as much. It should be pointed out that the a/c value will be increased for the LiFePO₄ Sm-doped papered by both of the two methods, while the mechanism is different: The value c is increased for the front and the value a is decreased for the latter, respectively.     

奥氏体不锈钢深冷低温冲击试验方法研究

以液氦作为冷源,结合G-M低温制冷机,实现-196~-269℃深冷温度环境,探索深冷低温冲击试验方法。结果表明,试样从低温环境中取出后置于大气环境中,温度出现快速回升。对于不同试验低温,可采用不同方法进行试验。试验温度T=4.2K时,可采用制冷机预冷+液氦持续喷淋的方法进行降温。试验温度10≤T77K时,可采用玻璃容器填充气凝胶粉体对试样进行绝热保温处理;或根据试验温度以及回温测试结果,以一定的过冷温度补偿值保证试验温度。过冷温度补偿方法可满足常规冲击试验的要求,但需要相对较大的过冷温度补偿值;玻璃容器填充粉体包裹试样,可减缓试样温度回升,但对材料冲击吸收能量有一定影响,可用多试样冲击试验并进行修正以反映材料冲击韧性水平。

Reinvestigation of the Structure of Protonated Lysine Dimer

To better understand inconsistencies between the predicted infrared (IR) spectra of previously suggested isomers of Lys₂H⁺ reported by Wu et al. (J. Am. Soc. Mass Spectrom. 22:1651–1659, 18) and the experimental IR photon dissociation (IRPD) spectrum obtained by Oh et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 127:4076–4083, 4), the structure of Lys₂H⁺ was reinvestigated using IRPD spectroscopy in the extended region 2700–3700 cm^?1 and theoretical calculations. The new experimental IRPD spectrum is in good agreement with Oh’s spectrum in the corresponding wavelength range. Based on calculations at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and MP2/6-31?+?G(d,p)//MP2/6-31?+?G(d,p) levels, a new salt-bridged isomer, ZW1, was found to be the most stable isomer; it is more energetically favored than the previously suggested charge-solvated isomer LL-CS01 by 10 or 26 kJ mol^?1. Although the calculated IR spectrum of ZW1 is in good agreement with the experimental one in the range 2700–3700 cm^?1, it is in poor agreement with the previous IRPD spectrum in the range 1000–1900 cm^?1. This investigation shows that the intermolecular interactions inside the dimer are more complex than previously supposed. It is possible that both salt-bridged and charge-solvated isomers of Lys₂H⁺ are stable in the gas phase, and the isomers generated during ionization are sensitive to the experimental conditions.

Resonance Rayleigh scattering method for direct determination of polyacrylamide in water samples using basic phenothiazine dyes

Binding polyacrylamide (PAM) with some basic phenothiazine dyes such as methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue (TB) or Azure B (AB) etc. can result in a significant enhancement of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS). The maximum RRS wavelengths (λ_max) appear at 348, 340 and 342 nm for MB, TB, and AB systems, respectively. Accordingly, a new RRS method for the direct determination of PAM at nanogram levels has been established. The optimum conditions of these reactions, the influencing factors have been investigated. The RRS intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of PAM in the range of 0.040–5.0 μg/mL for three systems. The methods exhibit high sensitivities, and the detection limits are 15.9 ng/mL for MB system, 44.0 ng/mL for TB system, and 59.8 ng/mL for AB system. The selectivity of the method is investigated by using MB system owing to the highest sensitivity. Concentrations of PAM in tap water, synthetic water and practical waste water samples are determined satisfactorily. The reaction mechanism and RRS enhancement reasons are discussed.     

Syntheses and structural determination of mononuclear nine-coordinate (MnH)[GdIII(EDTA)(H2O)3] · 4H2O and 2D ladder-like binuclear nine-coordinate (MnH)2[Gd 2 III (H2TTHA)2] · 4H2O

Two title rare earth metal coordination compounds, (MnH)[Gd^III(Edta)(H₂O)₃] · 4H₂O (I) and (MnH)₂[Gd ₂ ^III (H₂Ttha)₂] · 4H₂O (II), where Mn = methylamine, H₄Edta = ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid, H₆Ttha = triethylenetetramine-N,N,N′,N″,N′″,N′″-hexaacetic acid), have been successfully synthesized through direct heating reflux and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. In complex I, the Gd³⁺ ion is nine-coordinated by an Edta ligand and three water molecules, yielding a pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic (MC-SAP) conformation. Complex I crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system with space group Fdd2. The cell dimensions are as follows: a = 19.5207(17), b = 35.387(3), c = 12.5118(11) Å, and V = 8642.8(13) ų. The central Gd³⁺ ion of II is also ninecoordinate, forming tricapped trigonal prismatic (TC-TP) conformation with three amine nitrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms. Complex II crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with P2/c space group. The crystal data are as follows: a = 14.4301(13), b = 11.2400(11), c = 17.7102(16) Å, β = 112.606(2)°, and V = 2651.8(4) ų. There retain outer-protonated and inner-protonated carboxyl oxygen atoms in the [Gd ₂ ^III (H₂Ttha)₂]^2? complex anion. In II, there are only one type of methylamine cation (MnH⁺) as the counter ion, which connects [Gd ₂ ^III (H₂Ttha)₂]^2? complex anions and lattice water molecules through hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of 2D ladder-like layer structure.
