Protolytic behavior of hydroxylated Pyrex glass surfaces in NaCl media

Adsorption of hydrogen ions from aqueous NaCl solutions at the Pyrex glass-water interface was investigated by acid-base titration (glass electrode) at 25 degrees C and at the ionic strengths 0.010, 0.030, 0.10, 1.0, and 3.0 mol dm(-3). The pH values ranged from 2 to 7. The Pyrex samples had a specific surface area of 19.2x10(3) m(2)kg(-1) and a porous structure (pores 2.4 nm thick, 280 nm long). The reactions were found to be extremely slow but showed good reversibility. The potentiometric data, due to the small effect of ionic strength on the equilibria, were fitted with a simple nonelectrostatic model based on strong specific interactions of medium ions with deprotonated silanol, >SiO(-), and boranol, >BO(-), as well as with protonated sites. The acid-base properties are described by the reactions and equilibrium constants at the infinite dilution reference state: >SiONa + H(+) <==> >SiOHNa(+), logbeta110Si=3.1+/-0.2; >SiONa + 2H(+) + Cl(-) <==> >SiOH(2)Cl + Na(+), logbeta201Si=6.75+/-0.15; >SiONa + H(+) <==> >SiOH + Na(+), logbeta100Si=1.8+/-0.2, >BONa + H(+) <==>BOH + Na(+), logbeta100B=6.4+/-0.2; >BONa + H(+) <==> >BOHNa(+), logbeta110B=6.6+/-0.2; >BONa + 2H(+) <==> >BOH(+)(2) + Na(+), logbeta200B=11.56+/-0.15.

以4A-分子筛为载体,Dawson结构磷钨酸钇（Y2P2W18O62?nH2O）为活性组分,采用浸渍法制备出负载型40% Y2P2W18O62?nH2O/4A-分子筛,并通过FT-IR、EDS、SEM、NH3-TPD及N2吸附-脱附等方法对催化剂进行表征。将其用于催化水杨酸和乙酸酐反应制备乙酰水杨酸,考察了各因素对反应的影响。结果表明：负载前后磷钨酸钇均保持Dawson结构,Y2P2W18O62?nH2O和40% Y2P2W18O62?nH2O/4A-分子筛均呈球形,负载后催化剂的比表面积增大,酸强度和酸量均明显提高。在优化反应条件下,即水杨酸与乙酸酐摩尔比为1:3,反应时间为30min,催化剂用量为反应物质量分数的2.3%,乙酰水杨酸收率为95.2%。催化剂重复使用6次,乙酰水杨酸收率仍保持为77.9%。     

三门峡虢季墓遗址盐害分析与调查

针对三门峡虢季墓遗址部分区域存在起甲、泛白、疱疹等由可溶盐引起的病害,在其遗址不同部位取样进行土遗址本体含盐分析.取样区域包括虢季墓、梁姬墓和近代墓遗址.采用X射线荧光光谱(XRF)和离子色谱(IC)分析所取样品的可溶盐成分、含量及可溶盐成盐元素在土遗址中的成盐规律.采用电子能谱(XPS)和X射线衍射(XRD)分析样品的物相组成及盐分状态,扫描电子显微镜/能谱(SEM/EDS)进一步考察含盐土质的颗粒组成、微观形貌等.结果表明:虢季墓取样区域所含盐分主要为Na_2SO_4、CaCO_3和少量的其他盐分如CaCl_2、KNO_3和NaCl等.靠近地面部位所取样品盐分含量高于其他部位,盐害表现更为明显.梁姬墓取样区域总盐分含量略高于虢季墓与近代墓,硝酸盐含量较高.而近代墓遗址可溶盐盐分含量略低,盐害不明显.在不同取样点可溶盐含量有所差异,但在邻近区域,其成盐具有一定规律性,这一点对于遗址基体中盐害的深入研究与防治具有重要意义.     

Identifying Reactive Sites and Transport Limitations of Oxygen Reactions in Aprotic Lithium‐O2 Batteries at the Stage of Sudden Death

Discharging of the aprotic Li‐O₂ battery relies on the O₂ reduction reaction (ORR) forming solid Li₂O₂ in the positive electrode, which is often characterized by a sharp voltage drop (that is, sudden death) at the end of discharge, delivering a capacity far below its theoretical promise. Toward unlocking the energy capabilities of Li‐O₂ batteries, it is crucial to have a fundamental understanding of the origin of sudden death in terms of reactive sites and transport limitations. Herein, a mechanistic study is presented on a model system of Au|Li₂O₂|Li⁺ electrolyte, in which the Au electrode was passivated with a thin Li₂O₂ film by discharging to the state of sudden death. Direct conductivity measurement of the Li₂O₂ film and in situ spectroscopic study of ORR using ¹⁸O₂ for passivation and ¹⁶O₂ for further discharging provide compelling evidence that ORR (and O₂ evolution reaction as well) occurs at the buried interface of Au|Li₂O₂ and is limited by electron instead of Li⁺ and O₂ transport.     

Synergic Effect of Active Sites in Zinc‐Modified ZSM‐5 Zeolites as Revealed by High‐Field Solid‐State NMR Spectroscopy

Understanding the nature of active sites in metal‐supported catalysts is of great importance towards establishing their structure–property relationships. The outstanding catalytic performance of metal‐supported catalysts is frequently ascribed to the synergic effect of different active sites, which is however not well spectroscopically characterized. Herein, we report the direct detection of surface Zn species and ¹H–⁶⁷Zn internuclear interaction between Zn²⁺ ions and Brønsted acid sites on Zn‐modified ZSM‐5 zeolites by high‐field solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. The observed promotion of C?H bond activation of methane is rationalized by the enhanced Brønsted acidity generated by synergic effects arising from the spatial proximity/interaction between Zn²⁺ ions and Brønsted acidic protons. The concentration of synergic active sites is determined by ¹H–⁶⁷Zn double‐resonance solid‐state NMR spectroscopy.     

Conversion of acids to benzimidazoles with transition metal/zeolites

Transition metal/Y zeolites were prepared using microwave solid state and aqueous solution ion exchange methods. The activity of these zeolites was investigated in a conversion of acids to benzimidazoles reaction between 4-methyl-1, 2-phenylenediamine and 3-nitrobenzoic acid. The yield of these reactions increased in order of CuY < Fe²⁺Y < NiY < CoY < NaY < CrY < MnY < ZnY for both methods. The solid state ion-exchanged zeolites showed higher activity in comparison to the aqueous solution exchange. Yields of products in the presence of the ZnY zeolite were of the order of 69–83%. It seems that the Lewis sites are better sites compared to the Bronsted sites for this reaction.

基于氮掺杂碳载铁复合物的锌空电池氧阴极催化剂

迫在眉睫的环境和能源问题推动人类探索可行、可靠和可再生的能源技术.锌-空气电池和氢氧燃料电池等器件显示出高能量转换效率,但是仍有许多难题有待克服,例如阴极侧上缓慢的氧还原反应(ORR),以及高昂的成本极大地限制了铂基催化剂在商业上的广泛应用.因此,开发高性能的廉价ORR催化剂具有重要意义.过渡金属碳氮化合物(M-N-C, M=Co, Fe等)成为最有希望替代铂基催化剂的一类材料, M-N-C催化剂可以通过直接热解含有过渡金属、氮和碳物种的前驱体合成.然而热解时金属原子易团聚,多孔结构不能被有效地控制,导致相对较差的催化活性.目前, MOF衍生的催化剂在能源转化和储存技术中得到了广泛的关注,其具有丰富的氮含量、高比表面积和可调的孔道结构等特点.本文报道了一种简便可靠可控的合成铁氮共掺杂碳十二面体纳米结构催化剂的方法,并作为阴极电催化剂用于锌空气电池中,测试结果证实,合成的铁氮共掺杂的纳米碳具有与铂基材料相当的活性和更加优异的稳定性.表面吸附了的邻菲罗啉铁的ZIF-8在碳化过程中,氮基团能够结合铁形成Fe Nx结构单元,因此可得到铁氮共掺杂的电催化剂.粉末X射线衍射,扫描电镜证实ZIF-8的成功合成.经过热解得到的催化剂中Fe Nx或Fe Cx衍射峰较弱,表明样品中铁含量较低,存在部分无定型铁.通过拉曼光谱分析发现,引入的邻菲罗啉在热解过程中诱导了缺陷的形成,所以Fe-NCDNA-0的ID/IG比值明显高于NC.同时ID/IG随着铁含量的增加而减少,这是因为铁可以诱导石墨化,诱导效应随着铁含量的增加而增加.分析氮气吸附-脱附等温线得出,引入邻菲罗啉之后,比表面积增加;而铁的引入因其占据了微孔结构,导致比表面积下降.同时电镜证实Fe-NCDNA-2具有较大的形貌扭曲,使得该材料具有较大的比表面积.系统的电化学研究表明,氮掺杂有利于增强ORR活性,在引入铁之后形成高效的活性中心会进一步提高催化性能.因此, Fe-NCDNA-2在碱性条件下表现出优异的ORR性能.线性扫描伏安法曲线表明,铁氮共掺杂的材料表现出与Pt/C相似的性能,其中Fe-NCDNA-2的半波电位(E1/2)为0.863 V,比商业Pt/C的电位更正(E1/2=0.841 V).同时, Fe-NCDNA-2具有更加优异的稳定性,测试30000 s后的电流保持率为80%(Pt/C:64%).在中性介质中,合成的材料也展示了较高的ORR活性.Fe-NCDNA-2的E1/2=0.715 V,催化30000 s后电流保持率77%,均优于商业Pt/C催化剂.组装的锌空气电池进一步验证其作为氧还原催化剂实际应用的可行性.相比于以Pt/C为催化剂做空气阴极的电池,以Fe-NCDNA-2组装的电池表现出更高的开路电压,更高的功率密度(184 m Wcm^-2),以及更加优异的充放电循环稳定性.该工作也有利于启发研究人员探索类似的氮掺杂过渡金属碳材料在各种催化上的应用.
