Electron-induced dissociation of CO2 on TiO2(110)

The electron-induced dissociation of CO(2) adsorbed at the oxygen vacancy defect on the TiO(2)(110) surface has been investigated at the single-molecular level using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Electron injection from the STM tip into the adsorbed CO(2) induces the dissociation of CO(2). The oxygen vacancy defect is found to be healed by the oxygen atom released during the dissociation process. Statistical analysis shows that the dissociation of CO(2) is one-electron process. The bias-dependent dissociation yield reveals that the threshold energy for electron-induced dissociation of CO(2) is 1.4 eV above the conduction-band minimum of TiO(2). The formation of a transient negative ion by the injected electron is considered to be the key process in CO(2) dissociation.     

Synthesis of citrate-stabilized hydrocolloids of hydroxyapatite through a novel two-stage method: a possible aggregates-breakdown mechanism of colloid formation

Long-term stable (>2 years) hydrocolloids of hydroxyapatite (HA) were synthesized via a low-temperature (18-50 °C) reaction of aqueous ammonium phosphate with calcium nitrate in the presence of citrate ions, followed by an aging process at high temperature (80-99 °C) for 4 h. Changing the reaction and/or aging temperature seldom yielded stable HA hydrocolloids. The as-prepared hydrocolloids were desalinated through ultrafiltration where their average particle size gradually decreased, bottomed out at 100-400 μS/cm, and sharply increased in parallel with a decrease in solution conductivity. The colloid formation is most likely through a temperature-sensitive aggregates-breakdown process. During low-temperature reaction, citrate-calcium chelation bridges the growing HA particles into loose aggregates. High-temperature aging disrupts these inter-particle links and thus breaks the aggregates, imparting negative charges to the HA, forming colloidal particles stabilized by surface charge. The decrease in mean particle size during early ultrafiltration suggested that the aggregate breakdown further proceeded through desalination. In conclusion, the temperature-dependent interactions between citrate ions and calcium sites on HA particles played key roles in the synthesis and stability of the HA colloids.

稀土氧化物对水煤气变换催化剂Au/CeO2性能的影响

采用沉积沉淀法制备了一系列Au/CeO2-RE2O3(RE=Nd,Eu,Sm,Y)和不同Y2O3添加量的Au/CeO2-Y2O3水煤气变换(WGS)反应催化剂,通过N2吸附-脱附、X射线粉末衍射、H2程序升温还原和Raman光谱等手段对催化剂进行了表征.结果表明,Y2O3的引入能有效提高Au/CeO2体系WGS反应的活性和稳定性,其中Ce/Y摩尔比为35时催化剂活性和稳定性最高.这是由于该添加量的Y2O3能最大程度提高Au/CeO2催化剂的结构稳定性,形成较高表面氧缺陷,有效增强Au与载体间相互作用.     

还原氧化石墨烯改性少层剥离石墨增强石墨基钾离子电池负极稳定性

钾在石墨中嵌入电位较低,因此石墨负极可使钾离子电池具有较高的能量密度,是一种理想的钾离子电池负极材料。然而,石墨嵌钾后的体积膨胀率高达60%,导致钾离子电池的循环稳定性较差。此外,钾嵌入石墨层间的动力学过程缓慢,制约了钾离子电池倍率性能的提升。在本工作中,我们用还原氧化石墨烯(rGO)包覆剥离石墨(EG),得到一种具有协同效应的层状复合材料。一方面,以少层的EG代替石墨可以减少由于钾的嵌入/脱嵌所引起的体积膨胀和内部应力;另一方面,外层rGO可以避免EG的堆叠,这有利于加速动力学过程并在钾化/去钾化过程中稳定结构。当复合材料所用EG和GO的质量比为1 : 1时,其性能达到最优,在50 mA·g^-1的电流密度下能够提供443 mAh·g^-1的比容量;在电流密度为800 mA·g^-1时,比容量为190 mAh·g^-1,保持率为42.9%。相同测试条件下,纯EG和rGO的容量保持率仅为14.2%和27.2%。测试结果说明EG-1/rGO-1复合材料在比容量和倍率性能两个方面得到了提升。     

水产品中有害物质分析样品前处理技术研究进展

水产品含有丰富的蛋白、维生素和多种微量元素,是人们摄取动物性蛋白质的重要来源之一,我国是世界上最大的水产品消费国,其质量安全问题一直备受关注。但水产样品基质复杂,有害物质的含量低,须对其进行分离富集后才能进行检测,传统的液-液萃取、固相萃取和快速固相分散萃取等样品前处理技术在水产品分析中得到广泛应用,同时针对一些挥发性和超痕量有害物质检测时,固相微萃取同样体现出巨大优势。这些样品前处理技术可以有效去除基体对分析对象的干扰,提高检测方法的灵敏度和准确度。根据目标分析物性质的不同,选择合适的样品前处理技术,是水产品中有害物质分析的关键步骤。该文以水产品中有害物的来源不同,将其分为3类:(1)水产品中环境污染物的分析;(2)养殖运输和加工过程中有害物的分析;(3)水产品中生物毒素的分析。以这3类有害物质的分析为主线,综述了近10年水产品中有害物质分析的样品前处理技术,包括液-液萃取、固相萃取、固相微萃取、快速固相分散萃取和磁性固相萃取等。此外,还对各种技术的优缺点进行了探讨,并对其未来发展方向进行了展望。     

Ag/ZnO heterostructure nanocrystals: synthesis, characterization, and photocatalysis

A high yield of the dimer-type heterostructure of Ag/ZnO nanocrystals with different Ag contents is successfully prepared through a simple solvothermal method in the absence of surfactants. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy. The results show that all samples are composed of metallic Ag and ZnO; Ag nanoparticles locate on the surface of ZnO nanorods; the binding energy of Ag 3d(5/2) for the Ag/ZnO sample with a Ag content of 5.0 atom % shifts remarkably to the lower binding energy compared with the corresponding value of pure metallic Ag because of the interaction between Ag and ZnO nanocrystals; the concentration of oxygen vacancy for the as-synthesized samples varies with the increasing Ag content, and the Ag/ZnO sample with a Ag content of 5.0 atom % has the largest density of oxygen vacancy. In addition, the relationship between their structure and photocatalytic property is investigated in detail. It is found that the photocatalytic property is closely related to its structure, such as heterostructure, oxygen defect, and crystallinity. The presence of metallic Ag nanoparticles and oxygen vacancy on the surface of ZnO nanorods promotes the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and thus enhances the photocatalytic activity.     

High-pressure study of a 3d–4f heterometallic CuEu–organic skeleton

We prepared a 3d–4f heterobimetallic CuEu–organic framework NBU-8 with a density of 1921 kg m⁻³ belonging to the family of dense packing materials (dense metal–organic frameworks or MOFs). This MOF material was prepared from 4-(pyrimidin-5-yl)benzoic acid (HPBA) with a bifunctional ligand site as a tripodal ligand and Cu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ as the metal centres; the molecular formula is Cu₃Eu₂(PBA)₆(NO₃)₆·H₂O. This material is a very promising dimethylformamide (DMF) molecular chemical sensor. Systematic high-pressure studies of NBU-8 were carried out by powder X-ray diffraction, high-pressure X-ray diffraction and molecular dynamics simulation. The high-pressure experiment shows that the (006) diffraction peak of the crystal structure moves toward a low angle with increasing pressure, accompanied by the phenomenon that the d-spacing increases, and as the pressure increases, the (10) diffraction peak moves to a higher angle, the amplitude of the d-spacing is significantly reduced and finally merges with the (006) diffraction peak into one peak. The amplitude of the d-spacing is significantly reduced, indicating that NBU-8 compresses and deforms along the a-axis direction when subjected to uniform pressure. This is caused by tilting of the ligands to become more vertical along the c direction, leading to its expansion. This allows greater contraction along the a direction. We also carried out a Rietveld structure refinement and a Birch–Murnaghan solid-state equation fitting for the high-pressure experimental results. We calculated the bulk modulus of the material to be 45.68 GPa, which is consistent with the calculated results. The framework is among the most rigid MOFs reported to date, exceeding that of Cu–BTC. Molecular dynamics simulations estimated that the mechanical energy absorbed by the system when pressurized to 5.128 GPa was 249.261 kcal mol⁻¹. The present work will provide fresh ideas for the study of mechanical energy in other materials.
