The Critical Effect of Niobium Doping on the Formation of Mesostructured TiO2: Single‐Crystalline Ordered Mesoporous Nb‐TiO2 and Plate‐like Nb‐TiO2 with Ordered Mesoscale Dimples

Highly ordered mesoporous niobium‐doped TiO₂ with a single‐crystalline framework was prepared by using silica colloidal crystals with ca. 30 nm in diameter as templates. The preparation of colloidal crystals composed of uniform silica nanoparticles is a key to obtain highly ordered mesoporous Nb‐doped TiO₂. The XPS measurements of Nb‐doped TiO₂ showed the presence of Nb⁵⁺ and correspondingly Ti³⁺. With the increase in the amount of doped Nb, the crystalline phase of the product was converted from rutile into anatase, and the lattice spacings of both rutile and anatase phases increased. Surprisingly, the increase in the amount of Nb led to the formation of plate‐like TiO₂ with dimpled surfaces on one side, which was directly replicated from the surfaces of the colloidal silica crystals.

Fluorinated Porous Poly(spirobifluorene) Via Direct C‒H Arylation: Characterization,Porosity, and Gas Uptake

Considering intrinsic properties of conjugated polyfluorenes and special functions of porous polymers, synthesis of fluorinated porous poly(spirobifluorene) via direct C?H arylation polycondensation is explored. Owing to the contorted structure and cross-linking nature, the obtained polymer FPSBF shows permanent porosities with Brunauer–Emmett–Teller specific surface area up to 700 m² g^?1 and exhibits a narrow pore size distribution with the dominant pore size at about 0.63 nm, which is more suitable for adsorption of small gas molecules. Based on the measured gas physisorption isotherms with pressure up to 1.13 bar, the obtained polymer shows good uptaking capacities for hydrogen (1.30 wt% at 1.0 bar and 77 K) and methane (4.80 wt% 1.0 bar and 273 K). Moreover, FPSBF has significant adsorption selectivity for CH₄ against N₂ and the estimated ideal adsorption selectivity ratio is up to 30/1 at 1.0 bar and 273 K, which makes the material possess potential application in gas separation.     

Acoustic Waves in Channels with Porous and Permeable Walls

The propagation of acoustic disturbances in a porous medium crossed by numerous cracks (double porosity medium) is a complex problem that we here simplify by investigating the acoustics of a permeable channel. We consider a fluidfilled channel in two possible geometries, a slit or a cylindric pipe. The channel is surrounded by a porous medium (saturated with the same fluid) and is itself surrounded by an external medium. To simulate the average properties of the cracked rock, the external medium is either nonpermeable (few connections between cracks) or highly permeable (numerous connections). We present analytical and numerical results concerning acoustic disturbances of small amplitude generated in the channel, such as harmonic waves, step disturbanses and pulses.     

Surface Extension in Layered Structures with the Use of Metal Meshes for Heat-Transfer Enhancement

The properties of multilayer metal-fiber coverings superimposed on plane base layers, which consist of various combinations of a copper mesh and different-length copper wires, are examined. Coverings from discrete copper microwires, two-layer coverings including a mesh and microwires, and three-layer coverings consisting of a mesh and two layers of microwire are investigated. The contacts between the fibers, the copper mesh, and the base layer are analyzed by using the metallography technique. Quantitative estimates for these contacts are presented. The side effects connected with the hydrogen disease of copper are discussed. The thermal properties of the porous structures are analyzed with the use of a termographic chamber. It is shown that the porous metal-fiber structures have good mechanical and heat-transfer properties.
