Titania deposited on soft magnetic activated carbon as a magnetically separable photocatalyst with enhanced activity

Magnetically separable composite photocatalysts, TiO₂ deposited on soft magnetic ferrite activated carbon (TFAC), were prepared by sol-gel and dip-coating technique. The prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), optical absorption spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and nitrogen adsorption. These photocatalysts exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to Degussa P25 for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solution. The kinetics of MO degradation was well fitted to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. The samples showed good magnetic response and could be completely recovered by an external magnet. Furthermore, the photocatalysts could maintain high photocatalytic activity after five cycles, and the degradation rate of MO was still close to 90%.     

Preparation of fullerendione through oxidation of vicinal fullerendiol and intramolecular coupling of the dione to form hemiketal/ketal moieties

[reaction: see text] Vicinal fullerendiol is oxidized to fullerendione in good yield by (diacetoxy)iodobenzene. The resulting cage-opened fullerendione reacts with oxygen nucleophiles in the presence of BF(3).Et(2)O to form fullerene hemiketal/ketal derivatives through coupling of the two carbonyl groups. Fullerene-mixed peroxide derivatives are involved in all these reactions. The compounds are characterized by spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray analysis.     

Total synthesis of (+/-)-galanthamine

[reaction: see text] A practical and efficient total synthesis of (+/-)-galanthamine was achieved from commercially available materials through a novel approach, in which the construction of its core structure and the special allylic alcohol group were based on a successive semipinacol rearrangement/desilyation/cyclization and Saegusa-Ito oxidation, respectively.     

General and efficient strategy for erythrinan and homoerythrinan alkaloids: syntheses of (+/-)-3-demethoxyerythratidinone and (+/-)-erysotramidine

[reaction: see text] A general and efficient strategy to both aromatic-type and nonaromatic-type erythrinan and homoerythrinan alkaloids has been developed. This approach involves a key two-step sequence, an alkylation of a ketone with various N-substituted iodoacetamides followed by a N-acyliminium ion promoted intramolecular cyclization, and represents one of the shortest routes to erythrinan and homoerythrinan alkaloids. As the application, the formal total synthesis of (+/-)-3-demethoxyerythratidinone and the total synthesis of (+/-)-erysotramidine have been achieved, respectively.     

Interior proximal methods and central paths for convex second-order cone programming

We make a unified analysis of interior proximal methods of solving convex second-order cone programming problems. These methods use a proximal distance with respect to second-order cones which can be produced with an appropriate closed proper univariate function in three ways. Under some mild conditions, the sequence generated is bounded with each limit point being a solution, and global rates of convergence estimates are obtained in terms of objective values. A class of regularized proximal distances is also constructed which can guarantee the global convergence of the sequence to an optimal solution. These results are illustrated with some examples. In addition, we also study the central paths associated with these distance-like functions, and for the linear SOCP we discuss their relations with the sequence generated by the interior proximal methods. From this, we obtain improved convergence results for the sequence for the interior proximal methods using a proximal distance continuous at the boundary of second-order cones.     

Li4Ti5O12 Nanoparticles Prepared with Gel-hydrothermal Process as a High Performance Anode Material for Li-ion Batteries

Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ (LTO) nanoparticles were prepared by gel‐hydrothermal process and subsequent calcination treatment. Calcination treatment led to structural water removal, decomposition of organics and primary formation of LTO. The formation temperature of spinel LTO nanoparticles was lower than that of bulk materials counterpart prepared by solid‐state reaction or by sol‐gel processing. Based on the thermal gravimetric analysis (TG) and differential thermal gravimetric (DTG), samples calcined at different temperatures (350, 500 and 700°C) were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), field emitting scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cyclic voltammogram and charge‐discharge cycling tests. A phase transition during the calcination process was observed from the XRD patterns. And the sample calcined at 500°C had a distribution of diameters around 20 nm and exhibited large capacity and good high rate capability. The well reversible cyclic voltammetric results of both electrodes indicated enhanced electrochemical kinetics for lithium insertion. It was found that the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ anode material prepared through gel‐hydrothermal process, when being cycled at 8 C, could preserve 76.6% of the capacity at 0.3 C. Meanwhile, the discharge capacity can reach up to 160.3 mAh·g^?1 even after 100 cycles at 1 C, close to the theoretical capacity of 175 mAh·g^?1. The gel‐hydrothermal method seemed to be a promising method to synthesize LTO nanoparticles with good application in lithium ion batteries and electrochemical cells.     

Numerical comparisons of two effective methods for mixed complementarity problems

Recently there have two different effective methods proposed by Kanzow et al. in (Kanzow, 2001 [8]) and (Kanzow and Petra, 2004 [9]), respectively, which commonly use the Fischer-Burmeister (FB) function to recast the mixed complementarity problem (MCP) as a constrained minimization problem and a nonlinear system of equations, respectively. They all remark that their algorithms may be improved if the FB function is replaced by other NCP functions. Accordingly, in this paper, we employ the generalized Fischer-Burmeister (GFB) where the 2-norm in the FB function is relaxed to a general p-norm (p>1) for the two methods and investigate how much the improvement is by changing the parameter p as well as which method is influenced more when we do so, by the performance profiles of iterations and function evaluations for the two methods with different p on MCPLIB collection.
