First-principles study of high pressure phase transformations in Li<Subscript>3</Subscript>N

The lattice dynamics of lithium nitride (Li₃N) under high pressure are extensively investigated to probe its phase transformations by using the pseudopotential plane-wave method within the density functional theory. A new second order α↦α^′-Li₃N phase transition is identified for the first time. The newly proposed α^′-phase possesses a hexagonal symmetry with four ions in the unit cell having a space group of P-3m1. Further enthalpy and phonon calculations support the existence of this phase, which stabilizes in a narrow pressure range of 2.8 – 3.6 GPa at zero temperature. Upon further compression, transitions to denser packed phases of β-and γ-Li₃N are typical first order. The analysis of the electronic densities of states suggests that all the high pressure modifications of Li₃N are insulators and, interestingly, the typical behavior of compression is to broaden the band gap.     

InGaN/bivalent fluorescein salt luminescence conversion light-emitting diode: Stability and photochemical reaction

A light-emitting diode (LED) was fabricated using a commercial InGaN LED (460 nm) and bivalent fluorescein salt dispersed in an epoxy matrix, as a primary light source and a luminescence conversion (LUCO) material, respectively. The LUCO LED emitted white light, which faded almost completely within 1 h when a current of 20 mA was continuously supplied. Based on the FT-IR, UV-visible and XPS spectral data, a large portion of bivalent fluorescein salt in the epoxy matrix underwent photochemical reactions, generating neutral fluorescein on irradiation with blue light. However, when bivalent fluorescein salt was dispersed in poly(methyl methacrylate) instead of epoxy, the luminous output of the resulting LUCO LED decreased much more slowly during continuous operation. Furthermore, the chemical structure of bivalent fluorescein salt remained unaltered during irradiation with blue light when the freeze-dried salt was kept under high vacuum. It was concluded that bivalent fluorescein salt should be almost completely protected from the environment for application as a LUCO material when coupled with a blue LED.

Highly Efficient Mesoporous V<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>5</Subscript>/WO<Subscript>3</Subscript>–TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Catalyst for Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO<Subscript>x</Subscript>: Effect of the Valence of V on the Catalytic Performance

Mesoporous WO₃–TiO₂ support was synthesized by hydrothermal method, mesoporous V₂O₅/WO₃–TiO₂ catalyst was synthesized by impregnation method and used for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO_x with a excellent NO_x conversion at a wider operating temperature ranging from 200 to 460?°C. In the range of 260–440?°C, NO_x conversion reached to 98.6%, and nearly a complete conversion. Even with the existence of 300 ppm SO₂, NO_x conversion was only a little decline. The catalyst was characterized by a series of techniques, such as XRD, BET, XPS, TEM, Raman and H₂-TPR. It was concluded that V₂O₅/WO₃–TiO₂ catalyst was ascribe to antase TiO₂, and also the high crystallinity of anatase TiO₂ could improve the SCR performance. More interested, V₂O₅/WO₃–TiO₂ catalyst exhibited the typical mesoporous structure according to the BET results. In addition, the TEM results indicated that the active components of V and W were well-dispersed on the surface of TiO₂, while the enhancement of dispersion could improve the activity of catalysts. More importantly, the concentration ratio of V⁴⁺/(V⁵⁺?+?V⁴⁺?+?V³⁺) performed the key role in improving the activity of V₂O₅/WO₃–TiO₂ catalyst.     

L-S mass transfer in G-L-S countercurrent magnetically stabilized bed with amorphous alloy SRNA-4 catalyst

Liquid-solid （L-S） mass transfer coefficients （Ks） were characterized in a gas-liquid-solid （G-L-S） three-phase countercurrent magnetically stabilized bed （MSB） using amorphous alloy SRNA-4 as the solid phase. Effects of superficial liquid velocity, superficial gas velocity, magnetic field strength, liquid viscosity and surface tension were investigated. Experimental results indicated that the external magnetic field increased Ks in three-phase MSB, as compared to those in conventional G-L-S fluidized beds; that Ks increased with magnetic field strength, superficial gas and liquid velocities and decreased with liquid viscosity and surface tension; and that Ks showed uniform axial and radial distributions except for small increases close to the wall. Dimensionless correlations were established to estimate Ks of the G-L-S countercurrent MSB using SRNA-4 catalyst, with an average error of 3.6%.
