Y掺杂空位石墨烯对NO及CO气体表面吸附的第一性原理研究

摘　要：基于第一性原理的计算方法,建立了本征石墨烯、空位石墨烯及钇( Y)掺杂空位石墨烯模型,并计算了CO、NO在三类石墨烯表面的吸附过程. 从表面能、吸附结构、吸附能和态密度四个方面进行分析讨论,研究掺杂Y对CO、NO气体吸附性能的影响. 结果表明：CO、NO与本征石墨烯之间的吸附为弱的物理吸附,掺杂Y后增强了材料表面对CO、NO的吸附效果,最大吸附能分别为7.414eV、6.702eV,属于化学吸附;掺杂Y使空位石墨烯费米能级附近有了更多的活跃电子,其吸附NO后体系由半金属转变为金属特性,该特性能为开发更加优良的石墨烯气敏材料提供理论支持.     

Xenon Trioxide Adducts of O-Donor Ligands; [(CH3)2CO]3XeO3, [(CH3)2SO]3(XeO3)2, (C5H5NO)3(XeO3)2, and [(C6H5)3PO]2XeO3

Xenon trioxide (XeO₃) forms adducts with triphenylphosphine oxide, dimethylsulfoxide, pyridine-N-oxide, and acetone by coordination of the ligand oxygen atoms to the Xe^VI atom of XeO₃. The crystalline adducts were characterized by low-temperature, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. Unlike solid XeO₃, which detonates when mechanically or thermally shocked, solid (C₅H₅NO)₃(XeO₃)₂, [(C₆H₅)₃PO]₂XeO₃, and [(CH₃)₂SO]₃(XeO₃)₂ are insensitive to mechanical shock. The [(CH₃)₂SO]₃(XeO₃)₂ adduct slowly decomposes over several days to (CH₃)₂SO₂, Xe, and O₂. All three complexes undergo rapid deflagration when ignited by a flame. Both [(C₆H₅)₃PO]₂XeO₃ and (C₅H₅NO)₃(XeO₃)₂ are room-temperature stable and the [(CH₃)₂CO]₃XeO₃ complex dissociates at room temperature to form a stable solution of XeO₃ in acetone. The xenon coordination sphere of [(C₆H₅)₃PO]₂XeO₃, a distorted square-pyramid, provides the first example of a five-coordinate XeO₃ complex with only two Xe- - -O adduct bonds. The xenon coordination spheres of the remaining adducts are distorted octahedra, comprised of three Xe- - -O secondary bonds that are approximately trans to the primary Xe−O bonds of XeO₃. Quantum-chemical calculations were used to assess the nature of the Xe- - -O adduct bonds, which are described as predominantly electrostatic bonds between the nucleophilic oxygen atoms of the bases and the σ-holes of the electrophilic xenon atoms.     

Highly efficient enrichment and adsorption of rare earth ions (yttrium(III)) by recyclable magnetic nitrogen functionalized mesoporous expanded perlite

A magnetic mesoporous expanded perlite-based (EP_d-APTES@Fe₃O₄) composite was designed and synthesized as a novel adsorbent for enrichment of rare earth ions in aqueous solution. Effect of various factors including the pH of solution, contact time and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption behaviors of yttrium(III) by the EP_d-APTES@Fe₃O₄ nano-material composites from aqueous solution was investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity of the as-prepared materials for yttrium(III) ions was 383.2 mg/g. Among the various isotherm models, the Freundlich isotherm model could well described for the adsorption of the rare earth ions at pH 5.5 and 298.15 K. The kinetic analysis indicated that the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second order kinetics model, and the rate-determining step might be chemical adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters declared that the adsorption process was endothermic. In addition, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the quantum chemical calculation indicated that the yttrium(III) ions were captured on the EP_d-APTES@Fe₃O₄ surface mainly by coordination with functional group of -NH₂. More importantly, the adsorption-desorption studies indicated that the EP_d-APTES@Fe₃O₄ nano-material composites had a high stability and good recyclability.

Peculiarities of the vortex dynamics in YBa2Cu3Ox single crystals as revealed by irreversible microwave absorption

We report the results of a wide experimental study of the irreversible modulated microwave absorption as a function of temperature, applied magnetic field and modulation amplitude in the YBa₂Cu₃O_x single crystals. To analyze the experimental data the model of the microwave power dissipation by the flux lines has been developed taking into account thermal fluctuations, the distributions of currents and vortices over a sample. We have obtained the information about regimes of vortex motion in the different areas of the H–T phase diagram and estimated the values of flux flow viscosity and critical current density.     

Chemiluminescence in the reduction of XeO3 by europium(II)

Chemiluminescence has been observed in the reduction of perchloric aqueous solutions of XeO₃ with Eu²⁺ ions, Fast (several seconds) consumption of Eu^II occurs when the ratio of the initial concentrations of the reactants (Eu²⁺]₀ : [XeO₃]₀ < 6; however, the chemiluminescence remains sufficiently bright and prolonged (up to –10 min after nearly complete oxidation of Eu^II to Eu^III). The assumption was made that intermediates in the reduction of XeO₃ participate in the chemiluminescent stages of the process.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
