The influence of the zeolite crystallization conditions and the dry-gel composition were investigated. The results showed that the synthesis conditions had an effect on the crystalline phase. Pure MnSAPO-34 had been obtained when it was crystallized at 140 C for 18 hours. The ratio of MnO/A1203 in the starting gel ranging from 0.1 to 0.2 resulted in pure MnSAPO-34 with a CHA topology. Beyond this scope, MnSAPO-5 with an AFI topology structure was obtained as an impurity substance. UV-Vis spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy study indicated that manganese was incorporated into the framework of the molecular sieve. The catalytic performance of MnSAPO-34 molecular sieve was tested by ketalization reaction of l, 2-propanediol with cyclohexanone. High yield of cyclohexanone-1, 2-propanediol ketal was obtained.展开更多

It has been established that rates of conversion of 4-phenyl-o-tolu- nitrile into the aimed 4-phenylphthalonitrile and CO2 are described by half-order equation on concentration of substratum and to be independent of the oxygen and ammonia partial pressures. It has been revealed that formation of 4-phenylphthalimide from byproducts is due to hydrolysis of 4-phenylphthalonitrile;carbon dioxide is produced by oxidation of 4-phenyl-o-tolunitrile and decarboxylation of 4-phenylphthalimide, and 4-phenylben- zonitrile is produced from 4-phenyl-o-tolunitrile and 4-phenylphthalimide.展开更多

We investigated this process over solid acidic catalysts utilizing diluted nitric acid (60-70%) as nitrating agent, and found that supported sulfuric acid catalyst exhibited a very high catalytic activity. Under the conditions of reaction temperature 160-170℃, space velocity (SV) 1200 h-1, the yield and the space-time yield (STY) of nitrobenzene (NB) based on HNO3 were more than 98% and 0.75 kg穔gcat-1穐-1 over 10% H2SO4/SiO2 (by weight) catalyst respectively.展开更多

Herein, we report the preparation of a single-crystalline NiS2 nanostructure film of N 50 nm thickness grown directly on a carbon fiber doth (NiSJCFC) by a facile vapor-phase hydrothermal (VPH) method. NiSJCFC as an electrocatalyst exhibits activity for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media. Furthermore, a series of alcohols (2-propanol, 2-butanol, 2-pentanol, and cyclohexanol) were electrocatalytically converted to the corresponding ketones with high selectivity, efficienc and durability using the NiSJCFC electrode in alkaline media. In the presence of 0.45 M alcohol, a remarkably decreased overpotential (- 150 mV, vs. RHE) at the NiS2/CFC anode compared with that for water oxidation to generate O2, i.e., the OER, in alkaline media leads to significantly improved H2 generation. For instance, the H2 generation rate in the presence of 0.45 M 2-propanol is almost 1.2-times of that obtained for pure water splitting, but in a system that employs an applied voltage at least 280 mV lower than that required for water splitting to achieve the same current density (20 mA-crn-2). Thus, our results demonstrate the applicability of our bifunctional non-precious-metal electrocatalyst for organic synthesis and simultaneous H2 production.展开更多

The increment of electron concentration from room temperature to 500^o C is found to vary largely for different samples. The dispersion of temperature dependence of electron concentration is found to be directly proportional to the density of dislocations in GaN layers calculated by fitting the FWHM of the rocking curves in x-ray diffraction measurements (XRD). The buildup levels in persistent photoconductivity (PPC) are also shown to be directly proportionM to the density of dislocations. The correlation of XRD, Hall and PPC results indicate that the high temperature dependence of electron density in unintentional doped GaN is directly dislocation related.展开更多

The devices show low dark current of 2.1× 10^-6A/cm^2 at the reverse bias of 5 V. The specific detectivity D* is estimated to be 3.3 × 10^12cmHz^1/2 W^-1 . To guarantee the performance of the photodetectors, the optimization of AlGaN growth and annealing condition for Schottky contacts were performed. The results show that high-temperature annealing method for Ni/Pt Schottky contacts is effective for the reduction of leakage current.展开更多
