Synthesis and Characterization of Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube/Polythiophene Composites

Multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/polythiophene (PTh) composites have been prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. PTh is synthesized onto the sidewalls of the MWCNTs, which play a role as hard templates for PTh to produce one‐dimensional nanostructures. The morphology and structures of the MWCNT/PTh composites are characterized by High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, x‐ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. Their electrical property and thermal stability are determined using vector network analyzer and thermal gravimetric analyzer. Moreover, the mechanism of MWCNT/PTh nanowire formation is described. The studies show that the composites are nanowires with core‐shell structure, in which the outer shells and inner cores are formed by PTh and MWCNTs, respectively. The addition of MWCNTs does not change the backbone structure of PTh and affect the amorphous condition of PTh very slightly, however, it improves the electrical conductivity and thermal stability of PTh.     

Preparation and Characterization of Nanocrystalline Fe-Doped TiO2 Film on Different Substrates and Its Application in Degrading Dyeing Water

TiO₂ and Fe-doped TiO₂ thin films were prepared on the substrates (glass plates and glass microballs) after dipped in colloid and calcined at 500°C. The films have been characterized by UV-absorption, x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The investigated Fe-doped TiO₂ (A nominal 10 wt% Fe₂O₃ was impregnated) thin films were obtained by sol-gel method. The characterization results suggest that the calcined thin films primarily consist of TiO₂ anatase. And the light absorption curve of the TiO₂ films modified with Fe showed that red shift had happened by the dope of Fe. TiO₂/beads as photocatalyst were used to degrade the simulated dyeing water which contains reactive deep-blue dye (K-R). Through the degradation experiment, we found that the dope of Fe promoted the photocatalytic activities. The results showed that the dyeing water can be decomposed more effectively by the photocatalytic oxidation of Fe/TiO₂ film on glass micro-balls than glass plates.     

Photocatalytic Activity of Nanocomposites of ZnO and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Dye Degradation

Nanocomposites of ZnO and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared via electrostatic interaction and in situ hydrothermal synthesis approaches. The ZnO/MWNTs nanocomposites display relatively higher photocatalytic activity than ZnO nanoparticles for the degradation of Rhodamine B. Therein, MWNTs, acting as a photogenerated electron acceptor, retard the recombination of photoinduced electron and hole. The experimental results show that the photocatalytic activity of the ZnO/MWNTs nanocomposites strongly depends on the synthetic route, which is probably due to the difference of surface states resulted from the different preparation processes.     

铁铈复合氧化物催化剂SCR脱硝的改性研究

利用共沉淀法制备了铁铈催化剂,考察添加钛、锆、钨和钼对其SCR脱硝的改性规律。结果表明,钨和钼的添加提高了铁铈催化剂高温脱硝性能,却使其低温活性有所降低;钛的添加对铁铈催化剂脱硝性能具有促进作用,尤其提高了其低温活性,并拓宽了其完全转化温度窗口,为最佳改性物。当钛的物质的量比逐渐由0.10增至0.40,铁铈钛催化剂低温脱硝效率先增大后减小,但其高温脱硝效率逐渐增大至100%,钛的最佳物质的量比为0.15。XRD和N₂吸附分析结果表明,钛能优化铁铈催化剂的孔隙结构,增大其比表面积和比孔容,细化其孔径,并与催化剂中铁、铈氧化物形成良好的固溶体,从而提高了铁铈催化剂的SCR脱硝性能。Fe_0.8Ce_0.05Ti_0.15O_z催化剂在150～400℃取得了高于90%的NO_x转化率。     

碳酸钾催化的铁基氧载体煤催化化学链燃烧

研究了K₂CO₃催化剂及惰性担体对铁基氧载体煤化学链燃烧的影响.实验结果表明,K₂CO₃的添加可明显促进铁基氧载体与煤之间的反应速率,其原因可归结为从氧载体上迁移到煤颗粒上的K₂CO₃对煤-CO₂气化步骤的催化作用(该步骤为整个还原过程的速率控制步骤);由于K₂CO₃本身的促熔效果及加入K₂CO₃后导致的剧烈氧化还原反应,可以发现,K₂CO₃会增大铁基氧载体的烧结;不同惰性担体对铁基氧载体与煤的反应性影响不大,这是由于惰性担体对还原速控步没有影响;K₂CO₃在多循环化学链燃烧过程中依然可以保持一定的催化活性,另外由于催化剂的流失与失活,使得氧载体的反应活性有所下降.

Ni/ZrO₂+Ag/Al₂O₃耦合体系中H₂/HCs符合SCR反应所需的最优比例, 在柴油车典型排气温度范围内表现出良好的NO_x净化能力. 同时, 在Ni/ZrO₂+Ag/Al₂O₃耦合体系上考察了其燃油重整-SCR的活性稳定性. 结果显示, 重整催化剂的耐久性有待进一步提高.     

溶胶-凝胶新方法合成介孔铁酸铜纳米粉体催化剂上CO低温氧化(英文)

Mesoporous CuFe2O4 solid solution nanopowders with high specific surface areas were synthesized by a novel, very simple and inexpensive sol-gel route using propylene oxide as gelation agent, and used as the catalyst in low temperature CO oxidation. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption, thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and temperature-programmed reduction. The results revealed that the samples have a nanocrystalline structure with crystals in the range of 10 to 25 nm, and that all the catalysts have mesoporous pores. The addition of Cu into iron oxide affected its structural and catalytic properties. The sample containing 15 mol% Cu showed the highest specific surface area and catalytic activity, and showed high catalytic stability in low temperature CO oxidation.

钙钛矿型氧化物负载纳米金属催化剂结构的动态调变及其催化氧化CO反应性能

研究了钛酸钡和钛酸钙担载的Ag和Pt纳米催化剂的表面结构随氧化-还原处理过程的动态变化及其对CO完全氧化反应性能的影响.发现氧化物担载的Ag催化剂在氧化处理后其催化活性较还原处理的高; X射线衍射(XRD)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)表征结果表明,氧化处理能够提高载体表面Ag颗粒的分散度,而还原处理导致Ag颗粒的聚集,从而降低了催化氧化CO反应的活性.氧化-还原处理改变了担载Ag纳米粒子的尺寸并影响其CO氧化反应活性.与此相反,氧化物担载的Pt催化剂在还原处理后所表现出的CO氧化反应活性较氧化处理的高; 对比研究发现,氧化和还原处理后Pt纳米粒子的尺寸基本相同,但是氧化处理的样品中Pt表面物种以氧化态为主,而还原处理后Pt表面物种主要为金属态.Pt纳米粒子表面化学状态随氧化-还原处理的调变是导致表面催化活性差异的主要原因.     

Flow-induced ordering of particles and flow velocity profile transition in a tube flow of graphene oxide dispersions

We measured the S- and P-order parameters of flow-induced ordered graphene oxide (GO) particles and the flow velocity profiles for a flowing aqueous GO dispersion in a tube, by using an optical method. The order parameters clearly exhibit increasing concentric biaxial ordering as the flow velocity increases, with the exception of a disordered centre. Newtonian to non-Newtonian transition in the flow velocity profile is found, changing from a parabolic shape to a fuller shape at very low Reynolds numbers less than 10. This is attributed to the shear thinning effect (i.e., an ordering-induced reduction in viscosity). In the Newtonian flow, a uniaxial ordering was dominant; whereas a biaxial ordering sharply increased in the non-Newtonian flow, indicating that both the ordering of GO particles and the interparticle interactions influence the flow profile transition.
