The Influence of Dopant Concentration on Optical-Electrical Features of Quantum Dot-Sensitized Solar Cell

In this study, TiO₂/CdS/Cd_xCu_1−xSe, TiO₂/CdS/Cd_xMn_1−xSe, and TiO₂/CdS/Cd_xAg_2−2xSe thin films were synthesized by chemical bath deposition for the fabrication of photoanode in quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells. As a result, the structural properties of the thin films have been studied by X-ray diffraction, which confirmed the zinc Blende structure in the samples. The optical films were researched by their experimental absorption spectra with different doping concentrations. Those results were combined with the Tauc correlation to estimate the absorption density, the band gap energy, valence band and conduction band positions, steepness parameter, and electron–phonon interaction. Furthermore, the electrical features, electrochemical impedance spectrum and photocurrent density curves were carried out. The result was used to explain the enhancing performance efficiency.     

Hydrothermal synthesis of peony-like CuO micro/nanostructures for high-performance lithium-ion battery anodes

The peony-like CuO micro/nanostructures were fabricated by a facile hydrothermal approach. The peonylike CuO micro/nanostructures about 3-5 μm in diameter were assembled by CuO nanoplates. These CuO nanoplates, as the building block, were self-assembled into multilayer structures under the action of ethidene diamine, and then grew into uniform peony-like CuO architecture. The novel peony-like CuO micro/nanostructures exhibit a high cycling stability and improved rate capability. The peony-like CuO micro/nanostructures electrodes show a high reversible capacity of 456 mAh/g after 200 cycles, much higher than that of the commercial CuO nanocrystals at a current 0.1 C. The excellent electrochemical performance of peony-like CuO micro/nanostructures might be ascribed to the unique assembly structure, which not only provide large electrode/electrolyte contact area to accelerate the lithiation reaction, but also the interval between the multilayer structures of CuO nanoplates electrode could provide enough interior space to accommodate the volume change during Li~+ insertion and de-insertion process.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Electrochemical Properties of One Polyoxometalate-Based Silver(I) Compound with Keggin-Type [PW<Subscript>12</Subscript>O<Subscript>40</Subscript>]<Superscript>3−</Superscript> Anions

One polyoxometalate-based silver(I) compound [Ag(2,2'-Bipy)₂]₃(PW₁₂O₄₀) (I) (2,2'-Bipy = 2,2'- bipyridine) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, XRPD and X-ray single-crystal structure analysis (CIF file CCDC no. 1572216). Compound I exhibits a crystalline three-dimentional supramolecular framework constructed by Ag-2,2'-Bipy coordination units and [PW₁₂O₄0]^3? template anions, in which there are multiform π...π interactions and hydrogen bonds. The cyclic voltammetric experiments show that compound I displays a good electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of nitrite.     

非水滴定法测定水杨酸钠质量分数实验的改进

非水滴定法测定水杨酸钠质量分数是分析化学实验中重要的教学内容,现有教材中该实验的内容主要是高氯酸标准溶液的标定和水杨酸钠质量分数的测定。针对实验过程中指示剂用量和滴定终点颜色不同对测定结果准确度产生影响等问题,将电位滴定法引入到实验中以更好地确定指示剂的合适用量和判断终点颜色。结合统计分析研究不同滴定终点颜色对水杨酸钠测定准确度的影响,并以此改进后的实验方案作为综合性实验内容用于实验教学中。不仅能加深学生对非水滴定等分析方法原理及其有关理论的理解,而且能够培养学生严谨的科学态度和良好的实验素养。     

Synthesis of monodispersed cubic magnetite particles through the addition of small amount of Fe into Fe(OH)2 suspension

Magnetite particles were synthesized through a process including dissolution of Fe(OH)₂ and precipitation of an oxidized phase in aqueous solution. The Fe³⁺ ion was added at the beginning of the synthesis to accelerate the formation of magnetite, control the particle size and improve the monodispersibility. It was found that the addition of Fe³⁺ ion affected the nucleation and the formation of magnetite particles significantly. Magnetite nanoparticles with small particle size and narrow size distribution were obtained. Furthermore, high magnetic properties were obtained in small particle size. The particle size and magnetic properties increased through the increase of Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ ratio.
