Strong Photoelectric Properties of Mn-Based Seleniumstannates with Alkali Metals as Structure-Directing Agents

In recent years, chalcogenides have received a lot of attention because of their potential applications as photoelectric material. This work describes the synthesis of the quaternary seleniumstannates Cs₂MnSnSe₄ ( 1 ) and Rb₂MnSnSe₄ ( 2 ) using solvothermal methods. The structure of compound 1 consists of charge-balanced Cs⁺ cation and one-dimensional (1D) anion [MnSnSe₄]_n²⁻ chain. Compound 2 possesses a unique two-dimensional (2D) anion [MnSnSe₄]_n²⁻ layer. It is noteworthy that the compounds exhibit a strong photocurrent response (ca. 45 μA/cm² ( 1 ), ca. 80 μA/cm² ( 2 )). Moreover, methylene blue (MB) was investigated for its photocatalytic degradation properties. In order to better understand the relationship between optical properties and electronic structure, a theoretical study was conducted.

阳离子树脂交换分离-电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)法测定地质石膏样品中硼

硼石膏近些年在水泥、沥青混合材料等领域应用广泛,其主要成分为CaSO4·2H2O和B2O3以及其他杂质,因此准确、快速测定石膏样品中的硼元素对石膏的应用、资源综合利用等方面具有重要意义。而国家标准GB/T 5484-2012《石膏分析方法》中并没有硼元素的化学分析方法,且相关文献报道也很少。目前测定硼元素主要采用电感耦合等离子体质谱法（ICP-MS）,样品前处理多采用酸溶法,而碱熔法应用不多,主要原因是碱熔后溶液中产生大量盐分影响等离子体焰的稳定性,而732型阳离子交换树脂能吸附大量的钠离子,同时吸附了钙、镍、铁及稀土等阳离子,减少盐分干扰。基于此原理,本文采用氢氧化钠碱熔-732型阳离子交换树脂交换分离,在线加入铑内标的方式,建立了ICP-MS法测定石膏中硼的方法,同时由于石膏国家标准物质不包含硼元素的含量,采用高纯硫酸钙分别与岩石标准物质、水系沉积物国家标准物质和土壤国家标准物质混合配置成人工标准物质,并讨论了熔矿体系、阳离子加入量与吸附时间、清洗液、同位素的选择等实验条件。本方法的检出限为0.76μg/g,精密度（RSD,n=7）为0.9%~1.7%,相对误差为1.56%~3.96%,加标回收率在97.5%~102%,该方法快速、准确,记忆效应小,适合石膏中硼元素的测定。

Potassium adsorption on graphite(0001)

Potassium adsorption on graphite has been studied with emphasis on the two-dimensional K adlayer below one monolayer. Data are presented for the work function versus coverage, high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) vibrational spectra of K-adlayers, low energy electron diffraction and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) spectra at different coverages. The data provide information regarding the vibrational properties of the K-adlayer, the metallization of the adlayer at submonolayer coverages, and the charge transfer from the K adatoms to the graphite substrate. Analysis of the work function, HREELS, and UPS data provides a qualitatively consistent picture of the charge state of the K adatoms, where at low coverages, below a critical coverage θ_c (θ_c=0.2–0.3), the K adatoms are dispersed and (partially) ionized, whereas at θ>θ_c islands of a metallic 2×2 K phase develops that coexist with the dispersed a K adatoms up to θ=1. We show that it is possible to understand the variation of the work function data based on a two-phase model without invoking a depolarization mechanism of adjacent dipoles, as is normally done for alkali-metal adsorption on metal surfaces. Similarly, the intensity variation as a function of coverage of the energy loss peak at 17 meV observed in HREELS, and the photoemission peak at E_b=0.5 eV seen in UPS can be understood from a two-phase model. A tentative explanation is presented that connects apparent discrepancies in the literature concerning the electronic structure of the K adlayer. In particular, a new assignment of the K-induced states near the Fermi level is proposed.     

Ultrasound-assisted of alkali chloride separation using bulk ionic liquid membrane

An ultrasonic-assisted separation of alkali chloride (LiCl, NaCl, and KCl) salts have been carried out using of an hydrophobic ionic liquid membrane (ILM). The ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and tributyl phosphate mixture have been used as ILM. An ultrasonic probe with different frequencies (25, 100, and 250) kHz have been applied as source of ultrasound generator with different times of sonication (2, 5, and 10) min in three phases system containing feed, ILM, and receiver in osmotic U-shaped tube. Also, 250, 500, and 1000 ppm of the feed (alkali chloride) concentration have been used to separate. The frequency of 250 kHz with higher sonication time provides optimum condition for separation of LiCl with lower feed concentration. The thermodynamic properties such as density and speed of sound and the related thermodynamic properties have been calculated to optimize ILM composition (x_IL = 0.45) for ultrasound-separation.     

Fano-like coupling of collective and particle-hole excitations in Li metal

The dynamic structure factor of Li with [110] and 0.88 a.u. <q< 1.03 a.u., as measured with 1 eV resolution by means of synchrotron radiation based inelastic X-ray scattering spectroscopy (IXSS), exhibits, in the energy loss range between 3 and 12 eV, a fine structure, which appears as a resonance around 4 eV and an antiresonance around 8 eV, when the difference between the experimental -spectra with [110] and [111] is considered. In order to find out the origin of this fine structure we have interpreted recent TLDA (time dependent local density approximation) calculations of the Li- [#!ref12!#], which were based on the inversion of the full dielectric matrix, by utilizing a simple two-plasmon-band model. In this way the fine structure can be traced back to a Fano-like coupling of the discrete collective excitations (both the regular plasmon and the so-called zone-boundary collective states (ZBCS's)) and the particle-hole excitation continuum, mediated by the off-diagonal elements of the dielectric matrix, , where (1,1,0).

Thermal Transformations of CuNH4PO4⋅H2O

The isothermal and non-isothermal transformations of polycrystalline CuNH₄PO₄⋅H₂O in vacuum and in various gas atmospheres (in open air and in gaseous ammonia atmosphere) were studied at 20–800°C by means of differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, paper chromatography, optical microscopy and chemical analyses. The effects of the gas phase composition on the kinetic peculiarities of total gas evolution and on the partial processes of dehydration, ammonia removal and rearrangement of the anionic sub-lattice were considered. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Amorphous Calcium Phosphates: Solvent-Controlled Growth and Stabilization through the Epoxide Route

Calcium phosphates stand among the most promising nanobiomaterials in key biomedical applications, such as bone repairment, signalling or drug/gene delivery. Their intrinsic properties as crystalline structure, composition, particle shape and size define their successful use. Among these compounds, metastable amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) is currently gaining particular attention due to its inherently high reactivity in solution, which is crucial in bone development mechanisms. However, the preparation of this highly desired (bio)material with control over its shape, size and phase purity remains as a synthetic challenge. In this work, the epoxide route was adapted for the synthesis of pure and stable ACP colloids. By using biocompatible solvents, such as ethylene glycol and/or glycerine, it was possible to avoid the natural tendency of ACP to maturate into more stable and crystalline apatites. Moreover, this procedure offers size control, ranging from small nanoparticles (60 nm) to micrometric spheroids (>500 nm). The eventual fractalization of the internal mesostructured can be tuned, by simply adjusting the composition of the ethylene glycol:glycerine solvent mixture. These findings introduce the use of green solvents as a new tool to control crystallinity and/or particle size in the synthesis of nanomaterials, avoiding the use of capping agents and preserving the natural chemical reactivity of the pristine surface.
