Facile and scalable fabrication engineering of fullerenol nanoparticles by improved alkaline-oxidation approach and its antioxidant potential in maize

A feasible in operation, labor-saving and low-cost one-step technology to fabricate fullerenol nanoparticles (FNPs) up to 10 g in laboratory was developed by improved alkaline-oxidation approach using moderately concentrated sodium hydroxide solution as the hydroxylation agent and o-dichlorobenzene as the solvent. This strategy paves the avenue for industrial-scale bulk production of FNPs. The resulted product, [C₆₀(OH)₂₂·8H₂O]_n, were characterized by various measurements including matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, high-resolution ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-Visible spectrophotometer, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic light scattering analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and electron spin resonance spectrometer. Radical scavenging assay in vitro confirmed the high efficiency of water-soluble [C₆₀(OH)₂₂·8H₂O]_n as a novel radical scavenger. Furthermore, [C₆₀(OH)₂₂·8H₂O]_n as an excellent candidate has the potential to serve as the plant defense stimulation agent in maize.

A novel carbon source coated on C-LiFePO<Subscript>4</Subscript> as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

The poor electronic conductivity and low lithium-ion diffusion are the two major obstacles to the largely commercial application of LiFePO₄ cathode material in power batteries. In order to improve the defects of LiFePO₄, a novel carbon source polyacrylonitrile (PAN), which would form the hierarchical porous structure after carbonization, is fabricated and used. This work comes up with a simple and facile carbothermal reduction method to prepare porous-carbon-coated LiFePO₄ (C-LiFePO₄-PC) composite and to study the effect of carbon-coated temperature on ameliorating the electrochemical performance. The obtained C-LiFePO₄-PC composite shows a high initial discharge capacity of 164.1 mA h g^?1 at 0.1 C and good cycling stability as well as excellent rate capacity (49.0 mA h g^?1 at 50 C). The most possible factors that improve the electrochemical performance could be related to the enhancement of electronic conductivity and the existence of porous carbon layers. In a word, the C-LiFePO₄-PC material would become an excellent candidate for application in the fields of lithium-ion batteries.     

基于光谱分析的CO_2激光+脉冲GMAW复合焊峰值状态激光能量传输研究

在激光+脉冲GMAW复合焊接过程中,焊丝端部金属熔化产生大量的金属蒸汽,导致等离子体中电子、粒子的扩散现象加剧,使得激光的传输模式和工件对激光能量的吸收率和吸收模式发生变化。基于光谱分析的方法得到了复合焊接峰值状态的电子密度和温度分布,通过高速摄影分析了不同焊接模式下等离子体形态的变化,结合Beer-Lambert吸收定律计算了不同焊接模式下激光的吸收率。结果表明,在复合焊过程中,由于焊丝端部金属被熔化,焊丝的金属蒸汽进入激光等离子体内部,导致激光匙孔上方电子密度进一步提高,等离子体吸收激光能量能力增强,使得激光的传输效率从纯激光焊的94.16%降低到了CO_2激光+脉冲GMAW复合焊的85.84%。

Dependence of stresses on grain orientations in BCC polycrystalline films on substrates

Most thin films have different thermal expansion coefficients from their substrates, thus thermal stresses will be introduced into the films when the temperature is changed during annealing and service. Calculations of these stresses for grains in various crystallographic orientations have been made for seven BCC transition metals Cr, Fe, Mo, Nb, Ta, V and W. Neglecting W, which is isotropic and the stresses are equiaxial and without grain orientation （hkl） dependence, the BCC metals may be grouped into two classes. In the first class （Cr, Mo, Nb and V）, the （100）-oriented grains have the largest stresses, while the stresses σ1 and σ2 in other （hkl）-oriented grains decrease linearly with the increase of the angle between （hkl） and （100）, and with σ1 〈 σ2 except in （100）- and （lll）-oriented grains. In the second class （Fe and Ta）, on the contrary, the （100）-oriented grains have the lowest stresses, and the stresses σ1 and σ2 in other （hkl）-oriented grains increase linearly with the increase of the angle between （hkl） and （100）, and with σ1 〉 σ2 except in （100）- and （111）-oriented grains.

Studies of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility for InxGa1−xN/GaN cylinder quantum dots

The resonant third-order susceptibilities at various directions (both parallel and vertical to Z-axis) in self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) have been investigated. The nonlinear susceptibilities associated with the intraband transition in the conduction band are theoretically calculated for wurtzite In_xGa_1−xN/GaN-strained cylinder QDs. The confined wave functions and energies of electrons in the dots have been calculated in the effective-mass approximation by solving the 3D Schrödinger equation, in which a strong built-in electric field effect due to the piezoelectricity and spontaneous polarization has been taken into account. Furthermore, it is shown that the magnitude and the resonant position of the nonlinear susceptibility χ⁽³⁾(3ω) strongly depend on the dots’ size as well as size distribution.     

Ni、Co/AAO纳米有序阵列复合结构光吸收特性的比较研究

在多孔阳极氧化铝(AAO)模板中分别沉积金属镍(Ni)、钴(Co),制备了Ni／AAO和Co／AAO纳米有序阵列复合结构,对其光吸收特性进行了比较研究。实验结果表明．相同结构参量的模板中,Ni、Co纳米粒子的表观形状随沉积时间的变化规律基本一致．但Co/AAO及Ni／AAO复合结构的光吸收特性却有较大差异。Ni／AAO复合结构表现出间接带隙半导体的光学特征．而Co／AAO复合结构具有直接带隙半导体的光学特征。同时,随金属沉积量的增加,Ni／AAO吸收边的红移量仅约为13nm．而Co/AAO复合结构的吸收边红移量却超过了80nm。用Maxwell-Garnett(M-G)理论分析了导致二者光吸收特性存在较大差异的主要原因。
