Topological and fractal properties of turbulent passive scalar fluctuations at small scales

Corrections of Batchelor's spectral law –1 of passive scalar-fluctuations are obtained by taking into account the topological instabilities of small-scale vortex sheets: –4/3 for supercritical and –5/4 for subcritical regimes. The corresponding fractal dimensions of the scalar interface areD =8/3 for supercritical andD =11/4 for subcritical regimes. Good agreement with experimental data is established.     

高分散Co0.2Ni1.6Fe0.2P助催化剂改性P掺杂g-C3N4纳米片高效光催化析氢的研究

随着化石燃料使用的增加和温室气体排放量持续上升,20世纪以来气温上升得更快。开发环境友好型能源取代传统化石燃料是当务之急。氢能源作为一种清洁、高效的能源,被认为是最有希望取代传统化石燃料的能源。光催化水分解水产氢作为为一种环保型技术被认为是最有前景的氢能生产方法。提高光生电子-空穴对分离效率是构建高效光催化剂的关键。然而,利用高度分散的助催化剂构建高效、稳定的产氢光催化剂仍然是一个挑战。本文首次成功地采用一步原位高温磷化法制备了高度分散的非贵金属三金属过度金属磷化Co_0.2Ni_1.6Fe_0.2P助催化剂(PCNS-CoNiFeP)掺杂P的石墨相氮化碳纳米片(PCNS)。有趣的是,PCNS-CoNiFeP与传统氢氧前驱体磷化法制备的CoNiFeP相比,没有聚集性,分散性高。X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、元素映射图像和高分辨率透射电镜(HRTEM)结果表明,PCNS-CoNiFeP已成功合成。紫外-可见吸收光谱结果表明,PCNS-CoNiFeP在200–800 nm波长范围内较PCNS略有增加。光致发光光谱、电化学阻抗谱(EIS)和光电流分析结果表明,CoNiFeP助催化剂能有效促进光生电子-空穴对的分离,加速载流子的迁移。线性扫描伏安法(LSV)结果还表明,负载CoNiFeP助催化剂可大大降低CNS的过电位。结果表明,以三乙醇胺溶液为牺牲剂的PCNS-CoNiFeP最大产氢速率为1200 μmol·h^-1·g^-1,是纯CNS-Pt (320 μmol·h^-1·g^-1)的4倍。在420 nm处的表观量子效率为1.4%。PCNS-CoNiFeP在光催化反应中也表现出良好的稳定性。透射电镜结果表明,6–8 nm的CoNiFeP高度分散在PCNS表面。高度分散的CoNiFeP比聚集的CoNiFeP具有更好的电荷分离能力和更高的电催化析氢活性。由此可见,聚合的CoNiFeP-PCNs (300 μmol·h^-1·g^-1)的产氢速率远低于PCNS-CoNiFeP。此外,CNS的P掺杂可以改善其电导率和电荷传输。     

Boron‐Double‐Ring Sheet,Fullerene, and Nanotubes: Potential Hydrogen Storage Materials

Similar to carbon‐based graphene, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, boron atoms can form sheets, fullerenes, and nanotubes. Here we investigate several of these novel boron structures all based on the boron double ring within the framework of density functional theory. The boron sheet is found to be metallic and flat in its ground state. The spherical boron cage containing 180 atoms is also stable and has I symmetry. Stable nanotubes are obtained by rolling up the boron sheet, and all are metallic. The hydrogen storage capacity of boron nanostructures is also explored, and it is found that Li‐decorated boron sheets and nanotubes are potential candidates for hydrogen storage. For Li‐decorated boron sheets, each Li atom can adsorb a maximum of 4 H₂ molecules with g_d=7.892 wt %. The hydrogen gravimetric density increases to g_d=12.309 wt % for the Li‐decorated (0,6) boron nanotube.     

石墨相氮化碳可见光下活化过一硫酸盐氧化降解光惰性邻苯二甲酸二甲酯的机理研究（英文）

近几年过一硫酸盐(PMS)活化技术备受关注,其中利用太阳能活化PMS具有可持续和环保的优势,但PMS本身不吸收可见光.因此,本文提出利用具有可见光响应的石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)激发产生光电子进而活化PMS.首先利用三聚氰胺前驱体通过热缩聚法制备g-C3N4,通过X射线衍射(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、紫外-可见光漫反射(UV-Vis)、荧光光谱(PL)、透射电镜(TEM)、N2吸附脱附测试(BET)、电化学等一系列方法对g-C3N4进行表征,研究其表面性质及光学性能.结果显示, g-C3N4具有典型的片层结构和可见光活性,禁带宽度为2.7 e V.本文选取光惰性的内分泌干扰物邻苯二甲酸二甲酯(DMP)为目标污染物,系统地研究了其降解动力学和降解机理.研究发现,在短波紫外光(254和300nm)照射下,直接光解和·OH参与的反应机理能实现DMP的光降解,而在可见光照射下g-C3N4介导的光催化过程不能使DMP分解;但当添加PMS时,体系主导自由基由·O2–转化为SO4·–和·OH,从而实现DMP的有效降解和矿化.研究还发现,高浓度的PMS和高剂量的g-C3N4均可以提高PMS的活化量和相应的DMP降解效率,但提高催化剂剂量的方式能更充分的利用PMS.尽管高浓度的DMP阻碍了PMS和光催化剂g-C3N4的有效接触,但可以提高PMS的利用率.当p H低于零电荷点(5.4)时, DMP的降解效率较高.此外,使用两种淬灭剂(乙醇和叔丁醇)与DMP进行竞争性实验,结合电子自旋共振检测,表明SO4·–和·OH都是体系主要的自由基.此外,还对g-C3N4的可持续性能进行考察,四次循环实验结果显示,该催化剂具有良好的可重复利用性.对DMP降解进行总有机碳测定,发现降低了19%.最后,利用液相色谱质谱联用对DMP降解产物进行定性定量分析,发现DMP主要通过SO4·–和·OH对苯环的攻击以及脂肪族链的氧化断键这两种途径进行降解.综上可见,利用可见光激发g-C3N4产生的光电子能有效活化PMS降解顽固型有机污染物,可为实现太阳能活化PMS技术提供有力的技术参考.     

In situ Carbon Modification of g-C3N4 from Urea co-Crystal with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity Towards Degradation of Organic Dyes Under Visible Light

An in situ strategy was introduced for synthesizing carbon modified graphitic carbon nitride(g-C₃N₄) by using urea/4-aminobenzoic acid(PABA) co-crystal(PABA@Urea) as precursor materials. Via co-calcination of the PABA co-former and the urea in PABA@Urea co-crystals, C guest species were generated and compounded into g-C₃N₄ matrix in situ by replacing the lattice N of the carbon nitride and forming carbon dots onto its layer surface. The carbon modification dramatically enhanced visible-light harvesting and charge carrier separation. Therefore, visible light photo-catalytic oxidation of methylene blue(MB) pollution in water over the carbon modified g-C₃N₄(C/g-C₃N₄) was notably improved. Up to 99% of methylene blue(MB) was eliminated within 60 min by the optimal sample prepared from the PABA@Urea co-crystal with a PABA content of 0.1%(mass ratio), faster than the degradation rate over bare g-C₃N₄. The present study demonstrates a new way to boost up the photocatalysis performance of g-C₃N₄, which holds great potential concerning the degradation of organic dyes from water.     

Colorful Silver/Carbon Nitride Composites Obtained by Photoreduction

The Ag⁺ photoreduction by graphitic carbon nitride(g-CN) materials in a high concentration of Ag⁺ solution is reported, and a series of colorful Ag/g-CN composites is prepared and characterized. The chromatic change correlates to the carbon nitride materials synthesized at different heating temperatures(CN_T, where T means heating temperature), taking advantage of the different photocatalytic activities of different CN_T. The mechanism beneath this phenomenon is attributed to two factors:the particle size of Ag NPs and the coordinate effect of Ag NPs on CN_T sheets. Interestingly, the multi-colors of Ag/g-CN composites display only on the CN_T materials synthesized from heating melamine-cyanuric acid precursor, but not on the CN_T from heating pure melamine. The color of the as-prepared Ag/g-CN composites can endure the corrosion of HNO₃ and ethanol, which shows a good chemical stability and may hint its application as chromophores.

TiO2与浓NaOH溶液反应可制得组成是Na2-xHxTi2O4（OH）2,0≤X≤2的纳米管。X随后处理时溶液的pH值的不同而不同,当X=2时即为钛酸纳米管。本文在考察热处理温度对钛酸纳米管和钛酸纳米薄片相变的影响时,发现它们的相变规律几乎完全相同。本文通过TEM、XRD、Raman及FT-IR光谱等技术对合成的钛酸纳米管和钛酸纳米薄片随焙烧温度的相变规律、晶粒形状及结晶程度等性质进行了比较和讨论。     

GOSs-稀土配合物紫外增强材料的光谱分析与稳定性研究

氧化石墨烯薄片(GOSs)作为一种新型的二维片状材料,具有较高的比表面积、丰富的表面含氧官能团以及良好的光热稳定性。而稀土配合物通过无机稀土元素与有机配体的结合表现出优异的荧光特性。为了将两类材料具有的物化特性结合起来应用于紫外光谱探测领域。选取了合适的有机配体啉菲罗啉(1,10-邻二氮杂菲,phen)、2’2-联嘧啶(bpm)作为桥联分子,把氧化石墨烯(GOSs)与稀土配合物通过氢键自组装作用进行复合,制备了高效稳定可调的GOSs-稀土配合物复合荧光材料GOSs-Eu(BA)3phen和GOSs-Eu(TTA)3bpm,并且制备了相应的聚乙烯醇(PVA)共混紫外增强薄膜,对其光谱特性与稳定性进行了深入的研究。采用红外光谱、扫描电镜和金相显微镜等方法,对紫外增强材料进行了性能表征。采用吸收光谱,荧光光谱等方法,对紫外增强薄膜进行了性能表征。此外,通过热重测试(TGA)表征了GOSs氢键复合前后紫外增强材料的热稳定性,通过荧光强度-紫外光照次数表征了GOSs氢键复合前后紫外增强薄膜的光稳定性。红外光谱分析发现,进行配位前后有机配体的特征峰产生了频移,表明稀土配合物中Eu 3+与配体之间存在着明显的配位作用。在进行复合之后,桥联配体的特征峰也产生了偏移,表明GOSs与稀土配合物通过桥联分子的氢键作用进行了进行复合。吸收光谱与荧光光谱测定结果表明增强薄膜吸收峰在200~400 nm,荧光主峰在612 nm左右,为Eu 3+特征红色荧光峰,且不同配体可以实现不同范围的吸收产生差异化的荧光表现。扫描电镜和金相显微镜清晰地展示了稀土配合物复合前后的微观形貌,即颗粒状稀土配合物附着在石墨烯薄片上。光稳定性测试表明经过GOSs氢键复合之后,Eu(BA)3phen和Eu(TTA)3bpm稀土配合物荧光材料在进行25次荧光强度测试后光漂白程度分别下降了4.26%和6.41%,提高了其光稳定性。热重测试也表明在经过GOSs氢键复合之后,稀土配合物的热稳定性有了很大提高。总之,得益于GOSs和稀土配合物的特性结合,所制备的紫外增强材料表现出优异的荧光特性与稳定性,必将在紫外探测方面有着广阔的应用前景。
