Unified gas and supercritical fluid chromatography on 50 μm i.d. Columns

A unified approach to sequential gas and supercritical fluid Chromatography using 50 μm i.d. open tubular columns is described. Sample introduction is performed by means of a rotary injection valve. In order that linear velocities can be optimized independently, a second rotary valve in the chromatographic oven is used to direct the flow of column eluate to the flame ionization detector through either fused silica tubing in GC, or a frit restrictor in SFC. Applications of sequential GC-SFC on a 50 μm i.d. open tubular column are demonstrated, and comparisons made between sequential GC-SFC on 50 and 100 μm i.d. columns.     

Advances in Electrochemical Decarboxylative Transformation Reactions

Owing to their non-toxic, stable, inexpensive properties, carboxylic acids are considered as environmentally benign alternatives as coupling partners in various organic transformations. Electrochemical mediated decarboxylation of carboxylic acid has emerged as a new and efficient methodology for the construction of carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds. Compared with transition-metal catalysis and photoredox catalysis, electro-organic decarboxylative transformations are considered as a green and sustainable protocol due to the absence of chemical oxidants and strong bases. Further, it exhibits good tolerance with various functional groups. In this Minireview, we summarize the recent advances and discoveries on the electrochemical decarboxylative transformations on C−C and C−heteroatoms bond formations.     

Superatom-in-Superatom Nanoclusters: Synthesis,Structure, and Photoluminescence

We report a new strategy in which a thiolate-protected Ag₂₅ nanocluster can be doped with open d-shell group 8 (Ru, Os) and 9 (Ir) metals by forming metal hydride (RuH₂, OsH₂, IrH) superatoms with a closed d-shell. Structural analyses using various experimental and theoretical methods revealed that the Ag₂₅ nanoclusters were co-doped with the open d-shell metal and hydride species to produce superatom-in-superatom nanoclusters, establishing a novel superatom doping phenomenon for open d-shell metals. The synthesized superatom-in-superatom nanoclusters exhibited dopant-dependent photoluminescence (PL) properties. Comparative PL lifetime studies of the Ag₂₅ nanoclusters doped with 8–10 group metals revealed that both radiative and nonradiative processes were significantly dependent on the dopant. The former is strongly correlated with the electron affinity of the metal dopant, whereas the latter is governed predominantly by the kernel structure changed upon the doping of the metal hydride(s).     

Synergistic Nitrogen Binding Sites in a Metal-Organic Framework for Efficient N2/O2 Separation

Porous materials with d₃ electronic configuration open metal sites have been proved to be effective adsorbents for N₂ capture and N₂/O₂ separation. However, the reported materials remain challenging to address the trade-off between adsorption capacity and selectivity. Herein, we report a robust MOF, MIL-102Cr, that features two binding sites, can synergistically afford strong interactions for N₂ capture. The synergistic adsorption site exhibits a benchmark Q_st of 45.0 kJ mol⁻¹ for N₂ among the Cr-based MOFs, a record-high volumetric N₂ uptake (31.38 cm³ cm⁻³), and highest N₂/O₂ selectivity (13.11) at 298 K and 1.0 bar. Breakthrough experiments reveal that MIL-102Cr can efficiently capture N₂ from a 79/21 N₂/O₂ mixture, providing a record 99.99 % pure O₂ productivity of 0.75 mmol g⁻¹. In situ infrared spectroscopy and computational modelling studies revealed that a synergistic adsorption effect by open Cr(III) and fluorine sites was accountable for the strong interactions between the MOF and N₂.

带开口磁环的周期永磁聚焦系统的2维模拟

 由于目前常用的磁聚焦系统设计方法不能直接计算带有非轴对称开口磁环的磁系统,因此在行波管磁系统实验测试基础上,提出了双面带极靴的开口磁环体积等效概念：将开口磁环等效为相等体积磁性材料的2维轴对称磁环,两者都双面带极靴时轴上的磁场值相等。使用2维电磁计算软件FEMM计算了采用该等效模型后的周期磁聚焦系统的轴上磁场值,计算结果与带有开口磁环的实际系统测试值符合良好,两者相差仅3×10^-3 T。该2维等效模型能代替开口磁环进行计算。     

Stochastic modeling of columnar dendritic grain growth in weld pool of Al‐Cu alloy

A multi‐scale model is used to simulate columnar dendritic growth in TIG (tungsten inert‐gas) weld molten pool of Al‐Cu alloy. The grain morphologies at the edge of the weld pool are studied. The simulated results indicate that the average primary dendrite spacing changes during the solidification process in the weld pool because of the complicated thermal field, solute diffusion field and competitive growth. And it is shown that the secondary dendrite arms grow insufficiently in the space between dendrite trunks if the primary dendrite spacing is small. And the phenomenon has been explained by analyzing the influence of the solute accumulation on the constitutional undercooling and undercooling gradient when there are two different opposite solute diffusion fields.

Determination of open boundary conditions for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) from interior observations

An optimization approach for the determination of open boundary conditions for Computational Fluid Dynamics is introduced, whereas the error between the solution σ and interior observations ω is minimized. The numerical weather prediction (NWP) model ALADIN–Austria provides data of wind speed and wind direction at virtual weather stations within the area of interest. Also, data from real weather stations and other sources can be incorporated into the model, respectively. In this work, the optimization method is applied to the constant density Navier–Stokes Equations. Thereby, for stabilizing the ill-posed pseudo inverse problem several regularization methods are reviewed. Further, numerical studies are carried out to identify the supreme regularization method for the presented application. Finally, the algorithm is applied to the micro- and meso-scale flow over the Grimming mountain, Austria. The results are compared with real weather station data and show suitable correlation with the measurements.
