An Effective Pd–Ni2P/C Anode Catalyst for Direct Formic Acid Fuel Cells

The direct formic acid fuel cell is an emerging energy conversion device for which palladium is considered as the state‐of‐the‐art anode catalyst. In this communication, we show that the activity and stability of palladium for formic acid oxidation can be significantly enhanced using nickel phosphide (Ni₂P) nanoparticles as a cocatalyst. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveals a strong electronic interaction between Ni₂P and Pd. A direct formic acid fuel cell incorporating the best Pd–Ni₂P anode catalyst exhibits a power density of 550 mW cm^?2, which is 3.5 times of that of an analogous device using a commercial Pd anode catalyst.     

3D打印便携式凝胶电泳装置用于蛋白质的快速检测

随着现场分析对于快速、便携和经济型检测的需求,分析仪器的便携化和微型化备受关注。3D打印技术的不断发展,将会极大推动小型化、便携式实验设备的开发和研制。分析仪器的微型化有助于促进资源不足地区在医疗现场、食品安全和环境污染等方面的现场监测。目前,用于蛋白质分离的凝胶电泳装置多为实验室用小型化分析仪器,可用于现场快速分离蛋白质的小型化仪器尚未见报道。该研究设计加工了一款便携式凝胶电泳装置,用于蛋白质的快速分离检测。首先,通过3D打印加工的凝胶电泳装置可在实验室内方便、快捷、低成本的复制。其次,通过对预染蛋白质相对分子质量标准的分离测试,对该系统结构进行优化。优化后该凝胶电泳装置电泳槽的尺寸仅为15 mm×20 mm×17 mm,采用3D打印技术可在5 h内加工完成,耗费打印材料10 mL。正负极所用电泳缓冲液共需4 mL,所使用的25 V锂电池可实现100 h左右的工作时间。装置优化后可实现蛋白质的快速高效分离。随后,在5种常用蛋白质相对分子质量标准的分离中,该装置与商业化平板凝胶电泳分离效果相当,同时具备更快的分离速度。该研究在便携式凝胶电泳装置的开发及其在蛋白质快速分离方面取得了初步成果,但在分离完成后立即对蛋白质进行定量分析以及更多实际样品的应用方面还需要进一步研究。     

An Efficient RuTe2/Graphene Catalyst for Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Acid Electrolyte

Developing efficient powder catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in the acidic electrolyte is significant for hydrogen generation in the proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis technique. Herein, we demonstrated an efficient catalyst for HER in the acid media based on the graphene supported ruthenium telluride nanoparticles (RuTe₂/Gr). The catalysts were easily fabricated by a facile microwave irradiation/thermal annealing approach, and orthorhombic RuTe₂ crystals were found anchored over the graphene surface. The defective structure was demonstrated in the aberration‐corrected transmission electron microscopy images for RuTe₂ crystals and graphene support. This catalyst required an overpotential of 72 mV to drive 10 mA cm^?2 for HER when loading on the inert glass carbon electrode; Excellent catalytic stability in acidic media was also observed to offer 10 mA cm^?2 for 10 hours. The Volmer‐Tafel mechanism was indicated on RuTe₂/Gr catalyst by Tafel slope of 33 mV dec^?1, similar to that of Pt/C catalysts. The high catalytic performance of RuTe₂/Gr could be attributed to its high dispersion on the graphene surface, high electrical conductivity and low charge transfer resistance. This powder catalyst has potential application in the PEM water electrolysis technique because of its low cost and high stability.

Optical Trapping with Focused Surface Waves

Near-field optical trapping can be realized with focused evanescent waves that are excited at the water–glass interface due to the total internal reflection, or with focused plasmonic waves excited on the water–gold interface. Herein, the performance of these two kinds of near-field optical trapping techniques is compared using the same optical microscope configuration. Experimental results show that only a single-micron polystyrene bead can be trapped by the focused evanescent waves, whereas many beads are simultaneously attracted to the center of the excited region by focused plasmonic waves. This difference in trapping behavior is analyzed from the electric field intensity distributions of these two kinds of focused surface waves and the difference in trapping behavior is attributed to photothermal effects due to the light absorption by the gold film.     

巡游电子系化合物La0.8Ce0.2(Fe1-xCox)11.4Si1.6的磁热效应

对制备的化合物La0.8Ce0.2(Fe1-xCox)11.4Si1.6(x=0.02,0.04,0.06)的相组成、巡游电子变磁转变(IEMT)特性和磁热效应(MCE)进行了研究。粉末X射线衍射结果表明,经1373 K真空退火处理7 d后,化合物La0.8Ce0.2(Fe1-xCox)11.4Si1.6(x=0.02,0.04,0.06)均为单相立方NaZn13型晶体结构。随着Co含量由x=0.02增加到x=0.06,样品的居里温度TC由207 K上升到277 K。在0~1.5 T磁场变化下,x=0.02,0.04,0.06时样品的最大磁熵变|ΔSM(T)|分别为40.17,12.60和7.65 J.kg-1.K-1,可见该化合物有巨大的磁熵变,而且随Co含量的增加最大磁熵变迅速减小。该化合物的巨大磁熵变来源于TC处的一级相变,以及在TC以上由磁场诱导IEMT,但由于Co原子对Fe原子的替代能够抑制变磁转变的发生,因此该系化合物最大磁熵变随Co含量的增加迅速减小。     

H+CN体系中平行络合反应的动力学

利用分子反应动力学的经典轨迹法研究化学反应体系已经开展了很多工作,但是,研究长寿命络合物的几何异构体就显得有些困难,主要表现在该方法对几何异构体不容易判别．由于这些原因和计算机时大增,Davis[1]利用经典轨迹法和统计方法相结合,研究了H＋CN和H＋NC体系在固定方位时的长寿命络合物动力学行为,并且采用Murrel等[2]拟合光谱数据的势能函数,该势能函数在HCN和HNC平衡点的频率与实验值相差较大．本文利用经典轨迹法研究了H＋CN产生HCN和HNC平行络合物异构体的分子反应动力学行为,揭示了平行络合反应产生几何异构体的…

约束端面对管内甲烷爆炸特性的影响

为研究不同约束端面下甲烷的爆炸特性,利用自行搭建的实验平台完成了多种约束端面下不同浓度甲烷的爆炸实验。研究表明:约束端面的性质对甲烷的爆炸特性有显著影响,约束端面的承压强度越高,甲烷的爆炸超压越大。单层PVC薄膜作用下,薄膜破裂,不会引起火焰与超压的振荡;而纸膜破裂后,管道内外气流的高速泄放和回流则会引起超压振荡,使火焰前锋波动并发生扭曲变形;两者共同作用时,PVC薄膜会阻碍气流的泄放与回流,加速超压衰减,抑制火焰和超压的振荡。然而,随着纸膜层数增加,破膜时管道内外形成的巨大压差会使约束端面完全破裂,降低PVC薄膜的抑制作用。当破膜难度达到一定程度时,约束端面作用下的泄压峰值成为不同浓度甲烷爆炸的最大超压峰值,且泄爆压力并不随甲烷浓度的改变而改变,因此不同浓度甲烷的爆炸超压在较高的泄爆压力下相同;此时,相同约束端面下不同浓度甲烷的压力振荡曲线在压力衰减的前半个周期内完全重合,管道内外的压差成为主导超压振荡的重要因素,而不同浓度甲烷的燃烧速率对超压振荡的影响则可以忽略不计。
