As a result, quantitative conversion of ethyl levulinate (EL) and 99.0% yield of GVL were obtained in the CTH process using i-PrOH as hydrogen donor. The Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst with high-surface-area could be reused at least four times without the loss of catalytic activity. Furthermore, the structure and properties of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst was characterized through XRD, BET, SEM, TEM and H2-TPR. Also, the influence of different support oxides and calcination temperatures was investigated.展开更多

A binary photocatalytic system, consisting of B-doped g-C_(3)N_(4) nanosheets(Cu_(20)@BCN-X) and atomically accurate copper clusters, is designed in this study. The copper clusters serve as co-catalysts for H_(2) evolution and exhibit Pt-like activity, whereas the nanosheets serve as carriers and semiconductor components for O_(2) evolution. Such binary system, created using simple techniques, demonstrates hydrogen bonding interactions that promote synergistic effects and efficient binding and charge transfer across the interface between the two components. Band position manipulation of carbon nitride nanosheets demonstrates a Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism between the nanosheets and copper clusters. This photocatalytic system can accomplish the photocatalytic overall water splitting process(259.9 μmol g^(-1)h^(-1)of H_(2) and 129.4 μmol g^(-1)h^(-1)of O_(2)) without using sacrificial agents or noble metal co-catalysts. This work lays the foundation for the design of overall water splitting catalysts by precisely manipulating the energy levels, and it also paves the way for commercialized photocatalytic catalysts that do not require noble metals or sacrificial chemicals.展开更多

文摘High detectivity is essential for solar-blind deep-ultraviolet(DUV)light detection because the DUV signal is extremely weak in most applications.In this work,we report ultrahigh-detectivity AlGaN-based solar-blind heterojunction-field-effect phototransistors fabricated utilizing dual-float-photogating effect.The p^(+)-Al_(0.4)GaN layer and Al_(0.4)GaN absorber layer deposited on the Al_(0.6)GaN barrier serve as top pin-junction photogate,while the thin Al_(0.4)GaN channel layer with a strong polarization field inside acts as virtual back photogate.Due to the effective depletion of the two-dimensional electron gas at the A1_(0.6)Ga_(0.4)N/Al_(0.4)Ga_(0.6)N heterointerface by the top photogate,the dark current was suppressed below 2 pA in the bias range of 0 to 10 V.A high photo-to-dark current ratio over 10^(8) and an optical gain of 7.5×10^(4) were demonstrated at a bias of 5 V.Theoretical analysis indicates that the optical gain can be attributed to the joint action of the floating top and back photogates on the channel current.As a result,a record high flicker noise(Johnson and shot noise)limited specific detectivity of 2.84×10^(15)(2.91×10^(17))cm Hz^(0.5)W^(-1) was obtained.Furthermore,high response speed at the microsecond level was also shown in the devices.This work provides a promising and feasible approach for high-sensitivity DUV detection.
