准确、简单地预测低温液体无损贮存时的压力升高具有重要的实用价值。对一低温容器利用液氮为介质进行了多次无损贮存实验,利用多元线性回归方法对实验数据进行分析和检验。分析表明无损贮存时间、初始充满率对压力升高的影响较大,而环境温度的影响可以忽略,并拟合出了压力升高的计算公式。计算结果和实验结果在很大范围内能够较好地吻合。该种计算方法在预测低温液体无损贮存压力升高时有较高的准确性与可靠性。     

A Double-Site Chemodosimeter for Selective Fluorescence Detection of a Nerve Agent Mimic

A novel two-site chemodosimeter (SWJT-4) based on fluorescein skeleton to detect diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP) was designed and synthesized. It is a turn-on fluorescent probe for DCP with good selectivity and obvious color change in aqueous solution. Interestingly, the two oxime groups of SWJT-4 as dual response sites initiated different reactions with DCP to form a cyano group and an isoxazole ring, respectively. The corresponding mechanism was confirmed by ¹H NMR, MS and DFT calculation. Moreover, SWJT-4 could be used as a fluorescent test paper to detect DCP vapor.     

Magnetron sputtering deposition of silicon nitride on polyimide separator for high-temperature lithium-ion batteries

To date,lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly significant in the application of portable devices and electrical vehicles,and revolutionary progress in theoretical research and industrial application has been achieved.However,the commercial polyolefin separators with unsatisfying electrolytes affinity and poor thermal stability have extremely restricted the further application of lithium-ion batteries,especially in the high-temperature fields.In this work,magnetron sputtering deposition technique is employed to modify the commercial polyimide separator by coating silicon nitride on both sides.Magnetron sputtering deposition modified polyimide(MSD-PI)composite separator shows high thermal stability and ionic conductivity.More importantly,compared with the cells using Celgard separator,the cells with MSD-PI separator exhibit superior electrochemical performance,especially long-term cycle performance under high temperature environment,owing to the high thermal conductivity of surface Si3 N4 particles.Hence,lithium-ion batteries with MSD-PI separator are capable of improving thermal safety and capacity retention,which demonstrates that magnetron sputtering deposition technique could be regarded as a promising strategy to develop advanced organic/inorganic composite separators for high-temperature lithium-ion batteries.

Single-Step Hydrothermal Synthesis of Biochar from H3PO4-Activated Lettuce Waste for Efficient Adsorption of Cd(II) in Aqueous Solution

Developing an ideal and cheap adsorbent for adsorbing heavy metals from aqueous solution has been urgently need. In this study, a novel, effective and low-cost method was developed to prepare the biochar from lettuce waste with H₃PO₄ as an acidic activation agent at a low-temperature (circa 200 °C) hydrothermal carbonization process. A batch adsorption experiment demonstrated that the biochar reaches the adsorption equilibrium within 30 min, and the optimal adsorption capacity of Cd(II) is 195.8 mg∙g⁻¹ at solution pH 6.0, which is significantly improved from circa 20.5 mg∙g⁻¹ of the original biochar without activator. The fitting results of the prepared biochar adsorption data conform to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (PSO) and the Sips isotherm model, and the Cd(II) adsorption is a spontaneous and exothermic process. The hypothetical adsorption mechanism is mainly composed of ion exchange, electrostatic attraction, and surface complexation. This work offers a novel and low-temperature strategy to produce cheap and promising carbon-based adsorbents from organic vegetation wastes for removing heavy metals in aquatic environment efficiently.     

Unraveling the condensation reactions of heterometallic {BiNb_4} moieties into hybrid Bi_xNb_y-oxo clusters with mass spectrometry

The most effective methodologies for the construction of polynuclear complexes usually take advantage of preorganized building blocks.Herein,we successfully developed a new versatile heterometallic{BiNb₄}moiety,which can be applied for the assembly of less explored organic-inorganic hybrid polyoxoniobates.Through controlled condensation reactions,three{BiNb₄}moieties can be assembled into a pair of isomeric Bi₃Nb₁₈clusters at different temperatures;whilst four{BiNb₄}moieties can be combined into two unique Bi₄Nb₁₆and Bi₄Nb₁₈tetramers in different solvents.Interestingly,we have used mass spectrometry to probe the above condensation reactions,which clearly confirmed a stepwise bottom-up assembly process by capturing the presence of bismuth subsalicylate precursors,salicylate coordinated intermediates,Nb incorporated{BiNb₄}moieties and the final Bi_xNb_y-oxo clusters,respectively.Moreover,the packing modes of the{BiNb₄}units induce different solution behaviors,and the{BiNb₄}units in Bi4Nb16can be recombined by post-synthetic recrystallization in acetonitrile to produce a new tetramer Bi₄Nb₁₈-R.Therefore,this work provides not only a useful{BiNb₄}building unit but also the mechanism for their condensation,both of which will promote the future development of metal-oxo clusters.
