High Crystalline Prussian White Nanocubes as a Promising Cathode for Sodium‐ion Batteries

Prussian blue and its analogues (PBAs) have been recognized as one of the most promising cathode materials for room‐temperature sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, we report high crystalline and Na‐rich Prussian white Na₂CoFe(CN)₆ nanocubes synthesized by an optimized and facile co‐precipitation method. The influence of crystallinity and sodium content on the electrochemical properties was systematically investigated. The optimized Na₂CoFe(CN)₆ nanocubes exhibited an initial capacity of 151 mA h g^?1, which is close to its theoretical capacity (170 mA h g^?1). Meanwhile, the Na₂CoFe(CN)₆ cathode demonstrated an outstanding long‐term cycle performance, retaining 78 % of its initial capacity after 500 cycles. Furthermore, the Na₂CoFe(CN)₆ Prussian white nanocubes also achieved a superior rate capability (115 mA h g^?1 at 400 mA g^?1, 92 mA h g^?1 at 800 mA g^?1). The enhanced performances could be attributed to the robust crystal structure and rapid transport of Na ions through large channels in the open‐framework. Most noteworthy, the as‐prepared Na₂CoFe(CN)₆ nanocubes are not only low‐cost in raw materials but also contain a rich sodium content (1.87 Na ions per lattice unit cell), which will be favorable for full cell fabrication and large‐scale electric storage applications.

Knockout reaction mechanism studied by 6He projectile

Knockout reaction experiment was carried out by using the ⁶He beams at 61.2 MeV/u impinging on a CH₂ target. The α core fragments at forward angles were detected in coincidence with the recoiled protons at larger angles. From this exclusive measurement the valence nucleon knockout mechanism and the core knockout mechanism can be distinguished by the relation between the polar angles of the core fragments and the recoiled protons, respectively. It is demonstrated that the core knockout mechanism may result in some strong contamination to the real invariant mass spectrum.

     

Visible-light detoxification and charge generation by transition metal chloride modified titania

Amorphous microporous metal oxides of titanium (AMM-Ti) modified with chlorides of PtIV, IrIV, RhIII, AuIII, PdII, CoII, and NiII have been prepared by the sol-gel method and characterized by various surface analytical methods. These hybrid AMM-Ti powders are catalysts for the photodegradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) in aqueous solution when illuminated with visible (lambda > or = 400 or 455 nm) or UV (lambda > or = 335 nm) light. The initial rate depends on the dopant level and is highest at 3.0% Pt in the case of PtIV/AMM-Ti. When employed in a photoelectrochemical cell, the activity spectrum of the photocurrent extends downward to about 600 nm, as does the photodegradation of 4-CP. It is suggested that the metal salt acts as a redox-active chromophore, transmitting the photogenerated charges to the amorphous matrix.     

(2+1)-Dimensional Fermion Determinant in a Constant Background Field at Finite Temperature and Density

We evaluate exactly both the nonrelativistic and relativistic fermion determinant in 2+1 dimensions in a constant background field at finite temperature. The effect of finite chemical potential is also considered. In both cases, the systems are decoupled into an infinite number of 1+1 fermions by Fourier transformation in the -variable. The total effective actions demonstrate nonextensiveness in the -dimension.     

Towards Fabrication of Atomic Dopant Wires via Monolayer Doping Patterned by Resist-Free Lithography

Fabrication of atomic dopant wires at large scale is challenging.We explored the feasibility to fabricate atomic dopant wires by nano-patterning self-assembled dopant carrying molecular monolayers via a resist-free lithographic approach.The resist-free lithography is to use electron beam exposure to decompose hydrocarbon contaminants in vacuum chamber into amorphous carbon that serves as an etching mask for nanopatterning the phosphorus-bearing monolayers.Dopant wires were fabricated in silicon by patterning diethyl vinylphosphonate monolayers into lines with a width ranging from 1 μm down to 8 nm.The dopants were subsequently driven into silicon to form dopant wires by rapid thermal annealing.Electrical measurements show a linear correlation between wire width and conductance,indicating the success of the monolayer patterning process at nanoscale.The dopant wires can be potentially scaled down to atomic scale if the dopant thermal diffusion can be mitigated.     

Laser-induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy of NiS: Identification of a Low-lying Electronic State

Laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectra of jet-cooled NiS molecules were recorded in the energy range of 12200-13550 cm^-1. Four vibronic bands with rotational structure have been observed and assigned to the [12.4]³∑₀^- -X³∑₀^- transition progression. The relevant rotational constants, significant isotopic shifts, and (equilibrium) molecular parameters have been determined. In addition, the lifetimes of the observed bands have also been measured.
