Hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structures, and luminescent properties of a series of new lanthanide oxalatophosphonates with a layer architecture

Eleven new lanthanide oxalatophosphonate hybrids with a 2D layered structures, namely, [Ln(H(3)L)(C(2)O(4))]·2H(2)O (Ln = La-Dy, Er and Y, H(4)L = C(6)H(5)CH(2)N(CH(2)PO(3)H(2))(2)), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Compounds 1-11 are isomorphous and they exhibit a 2D framework structure. Two {LnO(8)} polyhedra and four {CPO(3)} tetrahedra are interconnected into a unit via corner-sharing, and the so-built units are bridged by the oxalate anions into a layer. The result of connections in this manner is the formation of a 24-atom window. The thermal stabilities and guest desorption-sorption properties of compounds 1-11 have been investigated. The luminescent properties of compounds 5, 6, 8 and 9 have also been studied.     

高硫炼焦煤化学结构及硫赋存形态对硫热变迁的影响

利用红外、拉曼、热重及XANES等技术对不同煤阶高硫炼焦煤的化学结构、原煤及焦样形态硫分布进行了准确判定,对煤中化学结构及硫赋存形态与硫的热变迁行为进行了关联分析。结果表明,高硫炼焦煤中硫的热变迁行为不仅与硫赋存形态有关,而且受化学结构不同的高硫炼焦煤热解挥发分释放特性的影响。较低煤阶高硫炼焦煤中脂肪结构热分解产生大量挥发分,且挥发分释放温区较宽,形态硫分解产生的活性硫与挥发分中富氢组分相结合,形成更多的含硫气体转移到气相中,提高了热解脱硫率,焦炭体相中噻吩硫相对含量高于表面,硫化物硫则与之相反。煤化程度升高,煤中稳定噻吩类硫含量增多,挥发分释放量减少,热解脱硫率降低,且形态硫在焦炭体相与表面的分布差异不明显。无机硫脱除率与黄铁矿硫分解程度直接相关,热解过程中也将形成部分新的无机硫滞留于焦中。煤结构及有机硫的赋存形态决定了有机硫脱除率,煤阶升高时有机硫脱除率明显降低。     

Modeling and solution of the joint quay crane and truck scheduling problem

This paper addresses the joint quay crane and truck scheduling problem at a container terminal, considering the coordination of the two types of equipment to reduce their idle time between performing two successive tasks. For the unidirectional flow problem with only inbound containers, in which trucks go back to quayside without carrying outbound containers, a mixed-integer linear programming model is formulated to minimize the makespan. Several valid inequalities and a property of the optimal solutions for the problem are derived, and two lower bounds are obtained. An improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is then developed to solve this problem, in which a new velocity updating strategy is incorporated to improve the solution quality. For small sized problems, we have compared the solutions of the proposed PSO with the optimal solutions obtained by solving the model using the CPLEX software. The solutions of the proposed PSO for large sized problems are compared to the two lower bounds because CPLEX could not solve the problem optimally in reasonable time. For the more general situation considering both inbound and outbound containers, trucks may go back to quayside with outbound containers. The model is extended to handle this problem with bidirectional flow. Experiment shows that the improved PSO proposed in this paper is efficient to solve the joint quay crane and truck scheduling problem.

Exploring the Strain Effect in Single Particle Electrochemistry using Pd Nanocrystals

Tuning the surface strain of heterogeneous catalysts is recognized as a powerful strategy for tailoring their catalytic activity. However, a clear understanding of the strain effect in electrocatalysis at single-particle resolution is still lacking. Here, we explore the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of single Pd octahedra and icosahedra with the same surface bounded {111} crystal facet and similar sizes using scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM). It is revealed that tensilely strained Pd icosahedra display significantly superior HER electrocatalytic activity. The estimated turnover frequency at −0.87 V vs RHE on Pd icosahedra is about two times higher than that on Pd octahedra. Our single-particle electrochemistry study using SECCM at Pd nanocrystals unambiguously highlights the importance of tensile strain on electrocatalytic activity and may offer new strategy for understanding the fundamental relationship between surface strain and reactivity.     

Solvent-derived Fluorinated Secondary Interphase for Reversible Zn-graphite Dual-ion Batteries

The irreversibility of anion intercalation-deintercalation is a fundamental issue in determining the cycling stability of a dual-ion battery (DIB). In this work, we demonstrate that using a partially fluorinated carbonate solvent can drive a beneficial fluorinated secondary interphase layer formation. Such layer facilitates reversible anion (de−)intercalation processes by impeding solvent molecule co-intercalation and the associated graphite exfoliation. The enhanced reversibility of anion transport contributes to the overall cycling stability for a Zn-graphite DIB—a high Coulombic efficiency of 98.5 % after 800 cycles, with an attractive discharge capacity of 156 mAh g⁻¹ and a mid-point discharge voltage of ≈1.7 V (at 0.1 A g⁻¹). In addition, the formed fluorinated secondary interphase suppresses the self-discharge behavior, preserving 29 times of the capacity retention rate compared to the battery with a commonly used carbonate solvent, after standing for 24 hours. This work provides a simple and effective strategy for addressing the critical challenges in graphite-based DIBs and contributes to fundamental understanding to help accelerate their practical application.     

A modified walk-on-sphere method for high dimensional fractional Poisson equation

We develop walk-on-sphere method for fractional Poisson equations with Dirichilet boundary conditions in high dimensions. The walk-on-sphere method is based on probabilistic representation of the fractional Poisson equation. We propose efficient quadrature rules to evaluate integral representation in the ball and apply rejection sampling method to drawing from the computed probabilities in general domains. Moreover, we provide an estimate of the number of walks in the mean value for the method when the domain is a ball. We show that the number of walks is increasing in the fractional order and the distance of the starting point to the origin. We also give the relationship between the Green function of fractional Laplace equation and that of the classical Laplace equation. Numerical results for problems in 2–10 dimensions verify our theory and the efficiency of the modified walk-on-sphere method.
