An electrochemical investigation on (MoO<Subscript>3</Subscript>+PVP+PVA) nanobelts for lithium batteries

Molybdenum trioxide (MoO₃) xerogel films modified with poly(vinyl alcohol)+poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP+PVA) polyblends were obtained by ion-exchange method with sol-gel technique. Investigations were conducted using X-ray “diffractometry”, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The results show that the H atoms in polyblend are H-bonded with the O atoms in the Mo=O bonds of MoO₃ xerogel, which effectively shield the electrostatic interaction between MoO₃ interlayer and Li⁺ ions when MoO₃ xerogel is modified by the intercalation of (PVP+PVA). The reversibility of the insertion/extraction of Li⁺ ions is greatly improved by the modification with polyblend of MoO₃ nanocomposite films. MoO₃ and (PVP+PVA) _x MoO₃ (x = 0, 0.5) nanobelts were obtained by a simple hydrothermal process from MoO₃ sol. The electrochemical cells with configuration Li/(LiPF₆+EC+DMC)/MoO₃ modified by (PVP+PVA) were fabricated and their discharge profiles studied.     

π-Bindungsbeitrag in Boranen, 2. Mitt.:Ab initio- und Kraftfeld-Rechnungen von Vinyldifluorboran

Ab initio calculations on vinyldifluoroborane yield a -contribution of 23 kJ/mol (5.5 kcal/mol) mainly due to the C=C bond and not to the lone pairs of the fluorine atoms. The rotational barrier was also determined. The force field calculations favour the interpretation of the bond structure derived from the theab initio results.

     

DFT Study on the Structure of Ionic Liquid 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Hexafluorophosphate

1 INTRODUCTION Ionic compounds generally have high melting points and always exist in solid state since they are main- tained by electrovalent bonds. Ionic Liquids (ILs), which are liquids at or near ambient temperature, have been a class of ionic compounds extensively studied experimentally and theoretically in recent years[1, 2]. ILs consist exclusively of anions and ca- tions and do not contain any neutral molecule. They have many attractive properties, such as low vapor pressure, no…     

Absence of p,π-conjugation in the Cl2C=CHOMe molecule from data ofab initio calculations

ab initio Calculation of the Cl₂C=CHOMe molecule has been carried out with geometrical optimization in the split valence basis set in the RHF/6-31G^*//RHF/6-31G^* approximation. An analysis of the populations of the p-orbitals of the Cl atoms implies the absence of p,-conjugation between the unshared electron pairs of these atoms and the -bond. The asymmetry parameters of the electric field gradient at the³⁵Cl nuclei, calculated from the 3p-orbital populations of the Cl atoms, practically coincide with the experimental values.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Molecular shape effects and quantum theory

Certain features of the chemist's molecular structure model, viz. size and shape, are retrieved even in the best non-adiabatic variational calculations thus far carried out for ground states of H ₂ ⁺ and H₂. Those features do not conflict with the full symmetry of exact molecular eigenstates, once they are properly understood as correlation effects.

A novel trilinear decomposition algorithm： Three-dimension non-negative matrix factorization

Non-negative matrix factorization(NMF)is a technique for dimensionality reduction by placing non-negativity constraints onthe matrix.Based on the PARAFAC model,NMF was extended for three-dimension data decomposition.The three-dimension non-negative matrix factorization(NMF3)algorithm,which was concise and easy to implement,was given in this paper.The NMF3algorithm implementation was based on elements but not on vectors.It could decompose a data array directly without unfolding,which was not similar to that the traditional algorithms do.It has been applied to the simulated data array decomposition andobtained reasonable results.It showed that NMF3 could be introduced for curve resolution in chemometrics.     

Y2O3薄膜处理对3Cr25Ni7N合金的抗高温氧化性能的影响

采用电沉积-热解法在3Cr25Ni7N合金表面制备了Y2O3薄膜,并研究了薄膜处理对合金在1000℃空气中的抗高温氧化性能的影响。氧化动力学曲线、SEM及XRD分析结果表明,Y2O3薄膜处理使合金表面氧化膜以尖晶石结构为主,氧化膜致密,有效地抑制了Cr2O3的挥发反应,且氧化膜与基体的附着性好,因此合金在高温下的抗氧化性能得到提高,这与氧化钇薄膜在较低温度下抗高温氧化性能提高的机制是不同的。在不同温度下,Y2O3薄膜处理均可以有效提高合金的抗高温氧化性能。     

New Rare Earth（Ⅲ） Complexes with H2tmtaa

A series of Ln(tmtaa)(Htmtaa)·CH_2Cl_2(Ln=Sm,Tb,Er and Yb)complexes were prepared and characterized byinfrared spectra,mass spectra and molecular electronic spectroscopy as well as DSC measurement.A sandwichstructure containing all the eight nitrogen atoms of tmtaa and Htmtaa was proposed for these complexes.X-rayphotoelectron spectra(XPS)of these complexes revealed that four nitrogen atoms of both tmtaa and Htmtaa werechemically equivalent to each other,respectively.The acidic hydrogen of Htmtaa did not bind specifically to any ni-trogen atom of Htmtaa,but was shared by all the four nitrogen atoms.The magnetic properties of these complexeswere found to be in good agreement with their theoretical values.     

Photocatalytic Oxidation of Aniline in the Gas Phase Using Porous TiO2 Thin Films

The gas-phase photocatalytic oxidation of aniline on a new kind of porous nano-TiO₂ composite films is investigated. The composite film was prepared on glass fiber with the water glass as binders and dilute H₂SO₄ solution as solidifying reagent. The surface characters were observed by scanning electron microscope. The photocatalytic degradation of aniline on the composite films was carried out in a TiO₂/UV system. Some important factors affecting the photodegradation, such as the concentration of TiO₂, the initial concentration of aniline, and the existing water vapor, are also studied. The product of photocatalytic oxidation was detected by Fourier transform-Infrared. The partial intermediate products were absorbed on TiO₂ surface, which resulted in catalyst deactivation. But when it was irradiated under UV illumination or solar irradiation for some time, the catalyst could be reused without loss of catalytic activity.
