The colloidal dispersion stability of nano-sized graphene sheets in supercritical fluid (SCF) media is very important for developing SCF-based exfoliation and dispersion technologies for stabilization and solubilization of graphenes. We carried out molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the stability mechanism of graphene in supercritical CO(2) (scCO(2)). The potential of mean force (PMF) between two graphene nanosheets in scCO(2) was simulated, and the effect of scCO(2) density and temperature on the PMF behavior has been investigated. The simulation results demonstrate that there exists a free energy barrier between graphenes in the scCO(2) fluid, possibly obstructing the aggregation of graphenes. The single-layer confined CO(2) molecules between the graphene sheets can induce a dominating repulsion interaction between graphene sheets. At higher scCO(2) fluid density, there are more confined CO(2) molecules within the interplate regions, resulting in a stronger repulsive free energy barrier. The effect of temperature on the PMF is relatively minor. The scCO(2) solvent structure shows layered confined arrangement in the interfacial region near the graphene nanosheets, which is correlated well with the PMF profile curve. 相似文献

A series of new poly(arylene ether sulfone)s has been obtained by solution condensation polymerisation starting from 1,5- and 2,6-bis-(4-fluorosulfonyl)naphthalene with various aromatic dihydroxy compounds. The polymers, obtained in quantitative yields, possessed inherent viscosities in the range 0.28-0.68 dl g−1, had good thermal stability (10% weight loss temperatures were above 405 and 420 °C respectively in nitrogen and air) and high glass transition temperatures (in the range 217-258 °C). They have been characterised by elemental and infrared analyses, GPC and wide-angle X-ray diffraction. The properties of these poly(arylene ether sulfone)s have been compared with those of the corresponding poly(arylene ether ketone)s. 相似文献
Aza-Michael reactions between primary amines and methyl propenoate have been investigated under environmentally-friendly solventless heterogeneous catalysis in order to obtain the mono- or the bis-adduct. The reaction conditions can be altered so as to maximise the yields of the required product with high selectivity. 相似文献
In the perspective of in-field stripping analysis of heavy metals, the use and disposal of toxic mercury solutions (necessary to plate a mercury film on a carbon electrode surface) presents a problem. The aim of this work was the development of mercury coated screen-printed electrodes previously prepared in the lab and ready to use in-field. Thus some commercially available polymers like Nafion®, Eastman Kodak AQ29®, and Methocel® were investigated as mercury entrapping systems for electrochemical stripping analysis of heavy metals. Screen-printed disposable cells with a silver pseudo-reference electrode, a graphite counter electrode, and a graphite working electrode were used. To modify the sensor, the polymer solution was cast onto the carbon working electrode surface. Detection limits of 0.8 and 1 μg/L were obtained for lead and cadmium respectively. Since Methocel® based electrodes showed the best performance, they were used for the analysis of real samples. The results were compared with those obtained using a classical thin mercury film electrode and ICP spectroscopy. All the experiments reported here were performed in un-deareated solutions as required for in-field analysis. 相似文献
A high-precision exact-matching quadruple isotope dilution method (ID4MS) was employed for the quantitation of nitrate in an air-dried spinach powder Certified Reference Material (CRM). The analyte was extracted in hot water following addition of 15NO\({}_{3}^{-}\) internal standard. The blend was then treated with sulfamic acid to remove nitrite and with triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate to promote aqueous conversion of nitrate into volatile EtONO2. The derivative was analyzed by headspace GC–MS with 3-min elution time. The method performance was validated with a series of tests which demonstrated adequate selectivity and ruggedness. This method supported the development of novel SPIN-1 CRM giving a modest contribution to its uncertainty (uchar = 0.85%). With respect to previous attempts, the SPIN-1 was proven stable, homogeneous (uhom = 0.44%), and suitable for spinach monitoring under EU regulations. On dried basis, the nitrate content of SPIN-1 was found to be 22.53 ± 0.43 mg/g (Uc = 1.9%, k = 2). The material was also used in an inter-laboratory study where four laboratories employed a total of ten measurement methods.
Abstract Ketimines la-d derived from ortho-aminosubstituted phenylthioethers were prepared in order to determine the degree of chirality transfer from the chiral auxiliary to the sulfur atom in the formation of the sulfoxide or to the α-carbon atom in the reaction of the anion with alkyl halides or benzaldehyde. Oxidation to the sulfoxide occurred with little or no asymmetric induction. The crystalline benzyl sulfone 4c was deprotonated by alkyllithium or Grignard reagents and reacted with alkyl halides and benzaldehyde, in all cases with little to fair transfer of chirality. The major diastereoisomer from methylation of the anion of 4c with methyl iodide, was isolated, and afforded the enantiomerically pure amine 5 after removal of the chiral auxiliary. An X-ray structure determination of 4d allowed the assignment of the absolute configuration of the asymmetric carbon and revealed that the conformation of the ketimine in the crystal state is not homogeneous. 相似文献
