MILD Combustion of Methanol,Ethanol and 1-Butanol binary blends with Ammonia

In the present energy transition scenario, ammonia is considered a valuable candidate as energy-dense carrier with neutral or even negative carbon balance. However, the potential high NO_x emissions and the reduced oxidation process stability, at least when conventional combustion plants are used, can burden its wide utilization on large scales. In this context, MILD Combustion, due to its inherent characteristics, may greatly improve combustion stability and keep the NO_x emissions at an acceptable level. On the other hand, the addition of low or no-carbon fuels from biomasses and wastes, more reactive than ammonia, may be beneficial in further improving its combustion performance and the global sustainability of the energy supply chain.In this respect, the present work analyzes the sustainability and combustion performance of binary mixtures of ammonia and low-molecular-weight alcohols in a cyclonic burner, where MILD conditions are attained by means of a strong internal recirculation, and compares them with those obtained with NH₃/methane blends. Results highlighted that NH₃/alcohols mixtures ensure a stable oxidation process in a wide range of operational parameters without compromising the system performance. Moreover, they showed a significant reduction of NO_x emissions for NH₃/alcohols mixtures, especially for fuel-lean conditions, when compared to NH₃/methane blends.Experimental data were also corroborated by chemical kinetic modeling results to provide some insights on the peculiar NO_x formation routes when blends of different nature are used, highlighting the interaction between carbon and nitrogen fuels kinetics.

Laser-generated aerosols in laser ablation for inductively coupled plasma spectrometry

This paper is a summary of the current knowledge of laser-generated aerosols under atmospheric conditions. It is restricted to typical laser sampling conditions as they are used in LA-ICP spectrometry. Published experimental evidence and proposed models are reviewed and critical summarized. The collected works show that a certain agreement exists that independently of the sample two size fractions with different chemical composition are found. The mechanism generating the different particle fractions are currently not clear. Possible sources of particle generation are described and critically reviewed. Fundamentally three distinguishable modes (gas, liquid, solid) can be described that can appear: gas-to-particle conversion, hydrodynamic sputtering, mechanical spallation/exfoliation. More recently explosive boiling as a mechanism of liquid expulsion has been discussed as a further possible source under certain conditions. Particle conditioning during transport is discussed as a source for agglomeration. The correlation between size distribution and laser parameters is discussed.     

Superconducting interaction charge in thallium-based high-TC cuprates: Roles of cation oxidation state and electronegativity

Superconductivity in the Tl-based cuprates encompasses a notably broad range of measured optimal transition temperatures T_C0, ranging from lowest in the charge-depleted Tl-1201 compounds (Tl_1–x(Ba/Sr)_1+yLa_1–yCuO_5–δ), such as Tl_0.7LaSrCuO₅ (37 K) and TlBa_1.2La_0.8CuO₅ (45.4 K), to highest in the Tl-1223 compound TlBa₂Ca₂Cu₃O_9±δ (133.5 K). Seven Tl-based cuprates are considered and compared using the model of superconductive pairing via electronic interactions between two physically separated charge reservoirs, where T_C0∝(ση/A)^1/2ζ⁻¹ is determined by the superconducting interaction charge fraction σ, the number η of CuO₂ layers, and the basal-plane area A, each per formula unit, and the transverse distance ζ between interacting layers. Herein it is demonstrated that σ follows from the elemental electronegativity and the oxidation state of Tl, and other structurally analogous cations. The comparatively lower elemental electronegativity of Tl, in conjunction with its oxidation state, explains the higher σ and T_C0 values in the Tl-based compounds relative to their Bi-based cuprate homologs. A derivation of σ is introduced for the optimal Tl₂Ba₂Ca_η–1Cu_ηO_2η+4 (for η=1, 2, 3) compounds, which exhibit a Tl oxidation state at or near +3, obtaining the fundamental value σ₀=0.228 previously established for YBa₂Cu₃O_6.92. Also reported is the marked enhancement in σ associated with Tl⁺¹ and analogous inner-layer cations relative to higher-valence cations. For a model proposition of σ=σ₀, the fractional Tl⁺¹ content of the mixed-valence compound, TlBa₂Ca₂Cu₃O_9±δ, is predicted to be 1/3 at optimization, in agreement with existing data. Charge depletion is illustrated for the two Tl-1201 compounds, where σ<σ₀ values are determined according to substitution of Ba⁺² or Sr⁺² by La⁺³, and/or Tl depletion. Additionally, statistical analysis of calculated and experimental transition temperatures of 48 optimal superconductors shows an absence of bias in determining σ, A, and ζ.     

Synthesis of LiCoPO4 as cathode material for lithium-ion batteries by the rheological phase method

LiCoPO₄ has been successfully synthesized by a simple rheological phase method. The effects of synthesis temperature on the properties of LiCoPO₄ are also investigated. The results show that a well-crystallized olivine structure LiCoPO₄ with no obvious impurity phase is obtained. The electrochemical properties of LiCoPO₄ were examined by galvanostatic charge/discharge tests, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results indicate that the sintering temperature has a significant effect on the electrochemical properties of LiCoPO₄. The sample fired at 600 °C shows the best electrochemical properties. The initial discharge capacity is 101.0, 96.8, and 91.6 mAh g^?1 at 0.1, 0.2, and 1 C, respectively. The significantly improved electrochemical properties of LiCoPO₄ are attributed to the better crystallized rheological phase production with better dispersed and smaller particles, which can greatly facilitate the diffusion of Li⁺.     

Neutron beam monitor based on a boron-coated GEM

A new thermal neutron beam monitor with a Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) is developed to meet the needs of the next generation of neutron facilities. A prototype chamber has been constructed with two 100 mm×100 mm GEM foils. Enriched boron-10 is coated on one surface of the aluminum cathode plate as the neutron convertor. 96 channel pads with an area of 8 mm×8 mm each are used for fast signal readout. In order to study the basic characteristics of a boron-coated GEM, several irradiation tests were carried out with α source ²³⁹Pu and neutron source ²⁴¹Am(Be). The signal induced by the neutron source has a high signal-to-noise ratio. A clear image obtained from α source ²³⁹Pu is presented, which shows that the neutron beam monitor based on a boron-coated GEM has a good two-dimensional imaging ability.

Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Persicaria odorata leaf extract: Antibacterial,cytocompatibility, and in vitro wound healing evaluation

Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (b-AgNPs) utilising plant extract has gained the interest of researchers due to the environmentally friendly and cost-effective technique. However, the extent of its application in the biomedical field remains scarce. This study evaluates the antibacterial, cytocompatibility, and wound healing activities of synthesised AgNPs using Persicaria odorata leaves extract (PO-AgNPs). The formation of PO-AgNPs was observed by visual colour changes and verified by ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis) spectrophotometer, which revealed a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) at around 440 nm, and further confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Characterisation using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed biomolecules from the leaves extract presented together on PO-AgNPs. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) images revealed PO-AgNPs nanospheres with diameters of 11 ± 3 nm. Disc diffusion test (DDT) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) analysis resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of PO-AgNPs against tested Staphylococcus epidermidis and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). These results were further corroborated by time-kill kinetic assay which revealed that PO-AgNPs were bactericidal against both strains 24 h post-treatment. Cytocompatibility and in vitro wound healing evaluation against normal human fibroblast cells, HSF 1184 inferred that PO-AgNPs are non-toxic to normal cells and able to enhance cell migration as compared to the non-treated cells. Therefore, PO-AgNPs are biocompatible and possess antibacterial and wound healing capabilities that are useful in biomedical applications.     

Temperature-dependent structure and magnetization of YCrO3 compound

We have grown a YCrO$_3$ single crystal by the floating-zone method and studied its temperature-dependent crystalline structure and magnetization by x-ray powder diffraction and PPMS DynaCool measurements. All diffraction patterns were well indexed by an orthorhombic structure with space group of $Pbnm$ (No. 62). From 36 K to 300 K, no structural phase transition occurs in the pulverized YCrO$_3$ single crystal. The antiferromagnetic phase transition temperature was determined as $T_\textrm{N} = 141.58(5)$ K by the magnetization versus temperature measurements. We found weak ferromagnetic behavior in the magnetic hysteresis loops below $T_\textrm{N}$. Especially, we demonstrated that the antiferromagnetism and weak ferromagnetism appear simultaneously upon cooling. The lattice parameters ($a$, $b$, $c$, and $V$) deviate downward from the Grüneisen law, displaying an anisotropic magnetostriction effect. We extracted temperature variation of the local distortion parameter $\varDelta$. Compared to the $\varDelta$ value of Cr ions, Y, O1, and O2 ions show one order of magnitude larger $\varDelta$ values indicative of much stronger local lattice distortions. Moreover, the calculated bond valence states of Y and O2 ions have obvious subduction charges.
