Influence of annealing temperature on microstructure and optical properties of sol-gel derived tungsten oxide films

Tungsten oxide (WO₃) thin films have been extensively studied for their interesting physical properties and a variety of potential applications in electrochromic devices. In order to explore the possibility of using these in electrochromic devices, a preliminary and thorough study of the optical properties of the host materials is an important step. Based on this, the influence of annealing temperature on the structural, surface morphological, optical and electrochromic properties has been investigated in the present work. The host material, WO₃ films, has been prepared from an ethanolic acetylated peroxotungstic acid sol containing 5 wt.% oxalic acid dehydrate (OAD) by sol-gel technique. The monoclinic structure and textured nature change of the films with the temperature increasing have been investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The surface morphology evolution of the films has been characterized by SEM. The shift in absorption edge towards the higher wavelength region observed from optical studies may be due to the electron scattering effects and the optical band filling effect that reveals the crystallization of the film. The amorphous film shows better optical modulation (ΔT = 76.9% at λ = 610 nm), fast color-bleach kinetics (t_c ∼ 4 s and t_b ∼ 9 s) and good reversibility (Q_b/Q_c = 90%), thereby rendering it suitable for smart window applications.     

Enhancing sound absorption using periodic micro-perforated structure with porous layer

To get desired sound absorption,we proposed a novel periodic composite structure comprised of micro-perforated plates(MPPs),porous materials and air cavities.The composite structure is then solved using an equivalent circuit model,with equivalent fluid porous model and Maa's theory.Distributed four-pole elements are used to handle structures which are not compact compared to the sound wavelength.The model procedures are validated and confirmed as satisfactory by published results and finite-element results.Analysis conducted on a single layer shows that,compared with traditional MPP,the porous addition can increase sound absorption in the low-to-medium frequency range;however,the advantage of porous materials in the high-frequency range is lost.Meanwhile,by arranging the porous materials in parallel and controlling their filling ratios,the absorption curve of the composite structure can be tuned.As to periodic composite structures,it is found that the influence of layer number N is mainly in the low-to-medium frequency range.When N varies,the half-absorption bandwidth increases over 40%(≥380 Hz) compared with a single layer.Compared with multi-layered MPPs,N=2 and N=4 produce an increase of bandwidth by 50%(≥400 Hz) and 30%(≥300 Hz) respectively.As N increases,the sound absorption is better but the enhancement weakens as it tends to the limit of the composite structure.These results show the potential enhancements that can be made to the traditional MPP,which can benefit the research on wideband noise reduction in the low-to-medium frequency range.

Isotropic-nematic phase transition in athermal solutions of rod-coil diblock copolymers

We present a hybrid method to investigate the isotropic-nematic (I-N) transition in athermal solutions of rod-coil copolymers. This method incorporates the scaled-particle theory for semiflexible chains with two-chain Monte Carlo simulation for the osmotic second virial coefficient and for the angle-dependent excluded volume. We compare the theoretical prediction with Monte Carlo simulations for fused rod-coil copolymers and find good agreement for both the equation of state and the orientational order parameter. The theory is also used to examine the effects of the bond length, the chain length, and the chain composition on orientational ordering in athermal solutions of rod-coil block copolymers. It predicts I-N transition in rod-coil copolymers with fixed rod length but a variable flexible tail in good agreement with experiments.     

Fullerene-derivatized amino acids: synthesis, characterization, antioxidant properties, and solid-phase peptide synthesis

A series of [60]fullerene-substituted phenylalanine (Baa) and lysine derivatives have been prepared by the condensation of 1,2-(4'-oxocyclohexano)fullerene with the appropriately protected (4-amino)phenylalanine and lysine, respectively. Conversion of the imine to the corresponding amine is achieved by di-acid catalyzed hydroboration. The reduction of the imine is not accompanied by hydroboration of the fullerene cage. The [70]fullerene phenylalanine derivative has also been prepared as have the di-amino acid derivatives. The compounds were characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy allowed the observation of diastereomers. Fullerene-substituted peptides may be synthesized on relatively large scale by solid-phase peptide synthesis. The presence of the C60-substituted amino acid in a peptide has a significant effect on the secondary structures and self-assembly properties of peptides as compared to the native peptide. The antioxidant assay of Baa and a Baa-derived anionic peptide was determined to be significantly more potent than Trolox.

TiO_2/EDTA-rich carbon composites:Synthesis,characterization and visible-light-driven photocatalytic reduction of Cr(Ⅵ)

Ti02/EDTA-rich carbon composites(TiO_2/EDTA-RC) have been successfully synthesized via a low temperature carbonization process. TiO_2/EDTA-RC exhibits marked absorption of visible light and excellent photoreduction of Cr(Ⅵ) activity under visible light irradiation(λ420 nm). Due to the high carboxyl group content and strong coordination ability of EDTA, TiO_2-EDTA complex can be easily fabricated between EDTA incorporated in carbon sheet and titanol group on the surface of TiO_2. TiO_2-EDTA complexes on the surface of TiO_2/EDTA-RC, the LMCT complex, are responsible for the prominent photoreduction of Cr(Ⅵ) properties of Ti02/EDTA-RC under visible light irradiation. In addition, the unique structure ofTiO_2/EDTA-RC is also propitious to the visible-light photocatalytic reduction of Cr(Ⅵ).Carbon sheet of TiO_2/EDTA-RC acts as a supporter. TiO_2 nanoparticles and EDTA homogeneously disperse into the carbon sheet supporter and form the TiO_2-EDTA complexes, which can avoid the aggregation of TiO_2 nanoparticles in the aqueous solution and provide more photocatalytic reaction points for the reduction of Cr(Ⅵ).     

新型聚合物载体茂金属催化剂

均相茂金属催化剂虽然有许多优点和特点,但也存在着某些不足之处,例如,不适于现在通用的气相和淤浆聚合工艺;要想达到足够的聚合活性需大量价格昂贵的MAO;相当多的均相茂金属催化剂不适于高温聚合（活性降低,分子极低）,不能很好地控制聚合物的形态,为了在工业上得到实际应用,必须将它们载体（非均相）化。通常采用的载体都是无机物,如SiO2、MgCl2、Al2O3等。由于无机载体表面具有酸性,负载茂金属催化剂活性有所降低,用聚合和作茂金属催化剂的载体很少有报道,我们研制了一种新型的聚合物载体茂金属催化剂,即可保持均相茂金属催化特点和优点,又能克服其缺点。其合成路线如下。     

前驱体干燥法对非晶态Ni-B/γ-Al2O3催化剂性能的影响

将非晶态合金负载于大比表面积多孔氧化物载体上既可保留非晶态合金特有的结构和性质, 又能降低非晶态合金粒子的表面能, 提高催化剂的热稳定性[1～6]. 迄今为止, 绝大多数负载型非晶态催化剂的前驱体均以盐溶液浸渍载体后于110 ℃一步烘干获得. 但用该法制得的前驱体经还原后的活性比表面积和活性组分的分散度较低, 导致催化剂的效率不高. 本文设计了两步干燥法, 制得的负载型非晶态Ni-B/γ-Al2O3催化剂用于液相苯加氢制备环己烷. 结果表明, 两步干燥法提高了载体表面非晶态活性组分的分散度. 与传统的一步干燥法制备的催化剂相比, 催化剂的热稳定性及其在苯加氢反应中的催化活性大大提高.
