含铜三元类水滑石化合物的合成及其性质

 以Cu（NO3）2，Zn（NO3）2和Al（NO3）3为原料，以NaOH为沉淀剂，利用共沉淀法合成了含铜三元类水滑石化合物CuZnAl－HTLcs．从不同Cu／Zn／Al比的混合原料溶液的滴定曲线入手，详细探讨了溶液pH值、原料加入方式、组分配比及水热处理条件对类水滑石合成的影响，利用XRD，ICP及比表面积测定对合成物进行了表征，并以苯酚羟基化为探针反应评价了催化剂的催化性能．结果表明，在体系pH＝5．0～6．2，（Cu＋Zn）／Al摩尔比＝2．0，Cu／Zn摩尔比≤1．0及室温条件下共沉淀后，于100℃水热处理3h，即可得到晶相单一和结晶度高的CuZnAl－HTLcs．变化pH法合成的样品的相对结晶度为100％，低过饱和法为76．5％，高过饱和法为75．9％．合成的CuZnAl－HTLcs中Cu2＋的含量均比原料液中Cu2＋的含量有所增加，这可能是由于在pH＝5．8时Cu2＋对Al（OH）3的同晶取代能力比Zn2＋强．随着CuZnAl－HTLcs中Cu含量的增加，催化剂对苯酚羟化反应的催化活性逐渐增大．     

Photonic bandgap properties of 8-fold symmetric photonic quasicrystals

The bandgap properties of 2D 8-fold symmetric photonic quasicrystals (PQCs) composed of a set of rods are numerically investigated for various fill factors, dielectric constants and propagation angles using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. Some interesting properties are found besides the known results: (i) the central frequency of the bandgap shifts to low frequency as r/a increases; (ii) an optimum fill factor to obtain the largest gap width exists, which decreases with increasing dielectric constant; (iii) compared with the behavior for a given fill factor, the variation of bandgap width for the optimum fill factor increases much more significantly with the dielectric constant. Selection guidelines for 8-fold symmetric PQC designs are provided for optimum fill factors and variation of the relative bandgap width at different dielectric constants.     

Iridium‐ and Osmium‐decorated Reduced Graphenes as Promising Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution

Renewable energy sources are highly sought after as a result of numerous worldwide problems concerning the environment and the shortage of energy. Currently, the focus in the field is on the development of catalysts that are able to provide water splitting catalysis and energy storage for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). While platinum is an excellent material for HER catalysis, it is costly and rare. In this work, we investigated the electrocatalytic abilities of various graphene–metal hybrids to replace platinum for the HER. The graphene materials were doped with 4f metals, namely, iridium, osmium, platinum and rhenium, as well as 3d metals, namely, cobalt, iron and manganese. We discovered that a few hybrids, in particular iridium‐ and osmium‐doped graphenes, have the potential to become competent electrocatalysts owing to their low costs and—more importantly—to their promising electrochemical performances towards the HER. One of the more noteworthy observations of this work is the superiority of these two hybrids over MoS₂, a well‐known electrocatalyst for the HER.     

Mesoporous inorganic salts with crystal defects: unusual catalysts and catalyst supports

We proposed a strategy to synthesize mesoporous inorganic salt particles using the special properties of ionic liquid (IL) mixtures, and hollow mesoporous LaF₃, NdF₃, and YF₃ particles were synthesized and characterized using different techniques. The size of the mesopores in the salt particles was about 4 nm, and the materials were full of crystal defects. The LaF₃, NdF₃ and YF₃ particles were used as the catalysts for the cyanosilylation reaction of benzaldehyde using trimethylsilyl cyanide, and Ru/LaF₃ and Ru/NdF₃, in which Ru nanocatalysts were supported on the LaF₃ and NdF₃ particles with mesopores, were used to catalyze hydrogenations of benzene to cyclohexane and levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL). It was discovered that the activities of these catalysts were unprecedentedly high for these reactions. Detailed study showed that both the crystal defects and the mesopores in the salt particles played crucial roles for the extremely high catalytic activity.     

Emulsion inversion induced by CO2

Herein it was found that CO(2) could trigger an O/W to W/O emulsion inversion via a W/O/W nanoemulsion. In comparison with the conventionally used liquid or solid additives, the unusual advantage of this method is that the emulsion morphologies can be switched reversibly by the control of CO(2) pressure. Besides, CO(2) can be easily removed by depressurization and thus no extra separation process is needed, and CO(2) can be recycled. Furthermore, other lipophilic gases of ethylene, propylene and isobutane can also induce the O/W to W/O emulsion inversion. A possible mechanism for the gas-triggered emulsion inversion was proposed.

Effect of compressed CO2 on the properties of lecithin reverse micelles

Lecithin is a very useful biosurfactant. In this work, the effects of compressed CO 2 on the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of lecithin in cyclohexane and solubilization of water, lysozyme, and PdCl 2 in the lecithin reverse micelles were studied. The micropolarity and pH value of the polar cores of the reverse micelles with and without CO 2 were also investigated. It was found that CO 2 could reduce the cmc of the micellar solution and enhance the capacity of the reverse micelles to solubilize water, the biomolecule, and the inorganic salt significantly. Moreover, the water pools could not be formed in the reverse micelles in the absence of CO 2 because of the limited amount of water solubilized. However, the water pools could be formed in the presence of CO 2 because large amounts of water could be solubilized. All of these provide more opportunity for effective utilization of this green surfactant. The possible mechanism for tuning the properties of the reverse micelles by CO 2 is discussed.     

Water‐in‐Supercritical CO2 Microemulsion Stabilized by a Metal Complex

Herein we propose for the first time the utilization of a metal complex for forming water‐in‐supercritical CO₂ (scCO₂) microemulsions. The water solubility in the metal‐complex‐stabilized microemulsion is significantly improved compared with the conventional water‐in‐scCO₂ microemulsions stabilized by hydrocarbons. Such a microemulsion provides a promising route for the in situ CO₂ reduction catalyzed by a metal complex at the water/scCO₂ interface.
