The excellent photocatalytic hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) with NaBH4 in the aqueous medium is still a big challenge. Herein, we report a facile one-pot evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method to synthesize a series of CuO/TiO2 nanocomposites. The as-synthesized CuO/TiO2 photocatalysts exhibit remarkable catalytic activity under direct sunlight in selective hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) due to the synergistic interaction of guest copper nanoparticles with host titanium dioxide (TiO2) species. Especially, 5 wt% CuO/TiO2 nanocomposite revealed superior reaction rate constant (k) value (0.306 min−1) when compared to 3 wt% CuO/TiO2 (0.192 min−1) and 7 wt% CuO/TiO2 (0.240 min−1). Moreover, several characterization techniques (XRD, TEM, N2 adsorption–desorption isotherm, DRS, and XPS) were executed to deeply investigate the effect of copper content on the bulk and interfacial properties of the catalysts. The characterization results proved that the superior photocatalytic hydrogenation over 5 wt% CuO/TiO2 catalyst can be ascribed to moderate CuO loading as well as even dispersion of CuO species on the surface of active TiO2 host, which can largely improve the light absorption ability within visible light region. Besides, the 5 wt% CuO/TiO2 catalyst exhibits remarkable recyclability and durability, retaining its superior activity (above 95%) up to several repeating cycles, proving its practical applicability for hydrogenation reactions at domestic and industrial levels. 相似文献
Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) membranes were deposited onto porous NiO–YSZ anode supports by screen printing. Combined with La0.7Sr0.3MnO3–YSZ composite cathode, the prepared anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) were electrochemically tested. A typical SOFC with a 30-μm-thick YSZ electrolyte membrane gave the maximum power densities (MPDs) of 0.26, 0.53, 0.78, and 1.03 W/cm2 at 650, 700, 800, and 850 °C, respectively, using hydrogen as fuel and stationary air as oxidant. Replacement of stationary air with pure oxygen flow exerted a significant positive effect on the MPDs of the cell. Using 100- and 200-ml/min oxygen as oxidants, the MPDs of the cell were enhanced 35.3% and 68.6%, respectively. Polarization analysis indicated that, at the MPD points, the electrode polarization resistances accounted for 80% of the cell total resistances.
The compressed wheat and corn straw bale were pyrolyzed on a microwave heating device self-designed and built with respect to the time-resolved temperature distribution, mass loss and product properties. Considering scale up and technology promotion of microwave pyrolysis (MWP), the investigations on electricity consumption and energy balance of MWP were carried out emphatically. The results indicated that MWP had obvious advantages over conventional pyrolysis, such as heating rapid and more valuable products obtained. The distribution of pyrolysis products such as gas, liquid and char was close to 1:1:1 due to the medium pyrolysis temperature and the slow heating rate, which was not favorable for the formation of gas and/or liquid products. The content of H2 attained the highest value of 35 vol.% and syngas (H2 and CO) was greater than 50 vol.%. The electricity consumption of MWP was between 0.58 and 0.65 kW h (kg straw)−1 and with the increase of microwave power, the electricity consumption required for pyrolysis of unit mass of straw increased. The minimum microwave power for MWP was about 0.371 kW (kg straw)−1 and the proportion of heat loss and conversion loss of electricity to microwave energy occupied in the total input energy was 42%. Data and information obtained are useful for the design and operation of pyrolysis of large-sized biomass via microwave heating technology. 相似文献
Crystal structure, thermogravimetry (TG), thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), electrical conductivity and AC impedance of (Ba0.5Sr0.5)1-xLaxCo0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (BSLCF; 0.05?x?0.20) were studied in relation to their potential use as intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC) cathode. A single cubic pervoskite was observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The TEC of BSLCF was increasing slightly with the increasing content of La, and all the compounds showed abnormal expansion at high temperature. Proved by the TG result, it was associated with the loss of lattice oxygen. The electrical conductivity, which is the main defect of Ba0.5Sr0.5 Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (BSCF), was improved by La doping, e.g., the compound of x=0.20 demonstrated a conductivity of σ=376 S cm−1 at 392 °C. The increase of electrical conductivity resulted from the increased concentration of charge carrier induced by La doping. In addition, the AC impedance revealed the better electrochemical performance of BSLCF. For example, at 500 °C, the sample with composition x=0.15 yielded the resistance values of 2.12 Ω cm2, which was only 46% of BSCF. 相似文献
In order to investigate the crack propagation in quasi-brittle materials like rock, ceramic and concrete, Hillerborg and his
co-researchers abstracted the fracture process zone in front of a stress free crack in terms of a “fictitious crack zone”.
On the fictitious crack zone, cohesive stresses distribute following a given softening relationship of stress vs. crack opening.
Based on the polynomial or power series expression of cohesive crack opening displacement, the relationship of the cohesive
stress vs. the crack opening displacement is established using elastic theory and integral equation, and some unknown physics
variables are obtained using variation approach. The calculation results gained in this paper are close to the experimentally
test ones. 相似文献
