Ni/bentonite catalysts prepared by solution combustion method for CO_2 methanation

A 20 wt% Ni/bentonite catalyst was prepared by a solution combustion synthesis (SCS), which exhibited higher activity for the CO_2methanation than that of an impregnation method (IPM), and the catalyst prepared by SCS showed a CO_2 conversion of 85% and a CH4selectivity of 100% at 300 °C, atmospheric pressure, and 3600 ml·(g cat)-1·h-1, and the catalyst exhibited stable within a 110-h reaction. The results showed higher me- tallic Ni dispersion, smaller Ni particle size, larger specific surface area and lower reduction temperature in the Ni/ bentonite prepared by SCS than that of IPM. And the Ni/bentonite prepared by the SCS moderated the interaction between NiO and bentonite.

Ni/ZrO_2 Catalysts Synthesized via Urea Combustion Method for CO_2 Methanation

A series of Ni/ZrO_2 catalysts were synthesized by urea combustion method for CO_2 methanation.The effects of zirconium precursors and urea dosage on the structure and catalytic performance of the catalysts were tested.Results showed that the Ni/ZrO_2–O catalyst derived from zirconium oxynitrate hydrate exhibited better catalytic activity than the Ni/ZrO_2 catalyst because of its higher Ni dispersion and smaller Ni particle size.In addition,the urea dosage significantly influenced the low-temperature activity of the catalysts by affecting the metal–support interaction,Ni dispersion,and Ni particle size.The Ni/ZrO_2–O-0.4 catalyst with a urea-to-nitrate molar ratio of 0.4 exhibited the best catalytic activity owing to its moderate metal–support interaction,highest Ni dispersion,and smallest Ni particle size,achieving 69.2% CO_2 conversion and 100% CH_4 selectivity at 300℃,0.1 MPa,and a weight hour space velocity(WHSV)of 50,000 mL/(g·h).Moreover,the urea combustion method can lead to the entire phase transformation from monoclinic ZrO_2 to tetragonal ZrO_2 accompanied by the incorporation of oxygen vacancies in the ZrO_2 lattice.This phenomenon can also be related to the high catalytic activity of the as-prepared catalysts.

Etching Mechanism of Ti_(3)C_(2)Cl_(2) MXene Phases by CuCl_(2)-Lewis Molten Salt Method

We described a method for obtaining fluorine-free Ti_(3)C_(2)Cl_(2)MXene phases by melting copper in CuCl_(2)instead of aluminum in Ti_(3)AlC_(2).XRD results show that when molten salt CuCl_(2)etches Ti_(3)AlC_(2),it forms an intermediate product Ti_(3)CuC_(2),and then reacts with Ti_(3)CuC_(2)to obtain Ti_(3)C_(2)Cl_(2).The reaction of Ti_(3)AlC_(2)and CuCl_(2)at a temperature of 800℃for 2 h to obtain Ti_(3)C_(2)Cl_(2)with an optimal lamellar structure is shown in SEM results.The pseudopotential plane-wave(PP-PW)method is used to calculate on the electronic structure.The etching mechanism is investigated by the total energies of each substance.The chemical reaction of Ti_(3)AlC_(2)and CuCl_(2)will first become Ti_(3)CuC_(2)and Cu,and then become Ti_(3)C_(2)Cl_(2)during the Lewis acid etching process,which are consistent with the experimental results.

Controllable synthesis of CuAlO_(2) via solid-phase method and its catalytic performance for methanol steam reforming to hydrogen

This study explores the controllable synthesis of CuAlO_(2) using copper hydroxide and pseudo-boehmite powders as raw materials via a simple solid-phase ball milling method,along with its catalytic performance investigation in methanol steam reforming(MSR).Various catalysts were prepared under different conditions,such as calcination temperature,calcination atmosphere,and heating rate.Characterization techniques including BET,XRD,XPS,SEM and H2-TPR were employed to analyze the samples.The results revealed significant effects of calcination temperature on the phase compositions,specific surface area,reduction performance,and surface properties of the CA-T catalysts.Based on the findings,a synthesis route of CuAlO_(2) via the solid-phase method was proposed,highlighting the importance of high calcination temperature,nitrogen atmosphere,and low heating rate for CuAlO_(2) formation.Catalytic evaluation data demonstrated that CuAlO_(2) could catalyze MSR without pre-reduction,with the catalytic performance of CA-T catalysts being notably influenced by calcination temperature.Among the prepared catalysts,the CA-1100 catalyst exhibited the highest catalytic activity and stability.The findings of this study might be useful for the further study of the catalytic material for sustained release catalysis,including the synthesis of catalytic materials and the regulation of sustained release catalytic performance.

Highly Defective Dark TiO_(2) Modified with Pt: Effects of Precursor Nature and Preparation Method on Photocatalytic Properties

The study focused on the modification with platinum of dark defective titania obtained via pulsed laser ablation. Both the method of Pt introduction and the nature of the Pt precursor were varied. All samples exhibited similar phase compositions, specific surface areas, and Pt contents. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy coupled with pulsed CO adsorption revealed increased dispersity when photoreduction and the hydroxonitrate complex (Me _(4) N) _(2) [Pt _(2) (OH) _(2) (NO _(3) ) _(8) ] were used. The sample featured a high content of single-atom species and subnano-sized Pt clusters. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that the photoreduction method facilitated the appearance of a larger number of Pt ^(2+) states, which appeared owing to the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) eff ect of the transfer of electron density from the electron-saturated defects on the TiO _(2) surface to Pt ^(4+) . In the hydrogen evolution reaction, samples with a significant fraction of the Pt ^(2+) ionic component, capable of generating short-lived Pt^(0) single-atom sites under irradiation due to the SMSI eff ect, exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. The 0.5Pt(C)/TiO_(2) -Ph sample exhibited the highest hydrogen yield with a quantum efficiency of 0.53, retaining its activity even after 8 h of operation.

Transport properties of a binary mixture of CO_2-N_2 from the pair potential energy functions based on a semi-empirical inversion method

The potential energy snrface of a CO2-N2 mixture is determined by using an inversion method, together with a new collision integral correlation [J. Phys. Chem. R@ Data 19 1179 （1990）]. With the new invert potential, the transport properties of CO2-N2 mixture are presented in a temperature range front 273.15 K to 3273.15 K at low density by employing the Chapman-Enskog scheme and the Wang Chang-Uhlenbeck de Boer theory, consisting of a viscosity coefficient, a thermal conductivity coefficient, a binary diffusion coefficient, and a thermal diffusion factor. The accuracy of the predicted results is estimated to be 2% for viscosity, 5% for thermal conductivity, and 10% for binary diffusion coefficient.

Test for random in electrical signals time series of CO_2 short circuit transition welding process by the method of surrogate data

This paper introduced the basic theory and algorithm of the surrogate data method, which proposed a rigorous way to detect the random and seemingly stochastic characteristics in a system. The Gaussian data and the Rossler data were used to show the availability and effectivity of this method. According to the analysis by this method based on the short-circuiting current signals under the conditions of the same voltage and different wire feed speeds, it is demonstrated that the electrical signals time series exhibit apparently randomness when the welding parameters do not match. However, the electrical signals time series are deterministic when a match is found. The stability of short-circuiting transfer process could be judged exactly by the method of surrogate data.

C-C motif chemokine ligand 2/C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 pathway as a therapeutic target and regulatory mechanism for spinal cord injury

Spinal cord injury involves non-reversible damage to the central nervous system that is characterized by limited regenerative capacity and secondary inflammatory damage.The expression of the C-C motif chemokine ligand 2/C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 axis exhibits significant differences before and after injury.Recent studies have revealed that the C-C motif chemokine ligand 2/C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 axis is closely associated with secondary inflammatory responses and the recruitment of immune cells following spinal cord injury,suggesting that this axis is a novel target and regulatory control point for treatment.This review comprehensively examines the therapeutic strategies targeting the C-C motif chemokine ligand 2/C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 axis,along with the regenerative and repair mechanisms linking the axis to spinal cord injury.Additionally,we summarize the upstream and downstream inflammatory signaling pathways associated with spinal cord injury and the C-C motif chemokine ligand 2/C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 axis.This review primarily elaborates on therapeutic strategies that target the C-C motif chemokine ligand 2/C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 axis and the latest progress of research on antagonistic drugs,along with the approaches used to exploit new therapeutic targets within the C-C motif chemokine ligand 2/C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 axis and the development of targeted drugs.Nevertheless,there are presently no clinical studies relating to spinal cord injury that are focusing on the C-C motif chemokine ligand 2/C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 axis.This review aims to provide new ideas and therapeutic strategies for the future treatment of spinal cord injury.

Structural and microwave absorption properties of CoFe_(2)O_(4)/residual carbon composites

Electromagnetic interference,which necessitates the rapid advancement of substances with exceptional capabilities for bsorbing electromagnetic waves,is of urgent concern in contemporary society.In this work,CoFe_(2)O_(4)/residual carbon from coal gasification fine slag(CFO/RC)composites were created using a novel hydrothermal method.Various mechanisms for microwave absorption,including conductive loss,natural resonance,interfacial dipole polarization,and magnetic flux loss,are involved in these composites.Consequently,compared with pure residual carbon materials,this composite offers superior capabilities in microwave absorption.At 7.76GHz,the CFO/RC-2 composite achieves an impressive minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of-43.99 dB with a thickness of 2.44 mm.Moreover,CFO/RC-3 demonstrates an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of up to 4.16 GHz,accompanied by a thickness of 1.18mm.This study revealed the remarkable capability of the composite to diminish electromagnetic waves,providing a new generation method for microwave absorbing materials of superior quality.

Seismic Methods Used in the CO_2 SINK Project,Ketzin Germany

The CO2 SINK project,started in April 2004,is a pilot scale CO2 geological storage project being carried out to provide operational field experience for large scale CO2 geologic storage.The research area selected for the project is the Ketzin anticline near Berlin,Germany.Since CO2 storage in geological media has to be done safely and requires public acceptance,proper monitoring systems need to be designed for each operation.Various kinds ot seismic methods can be used to map the underground tructure and monitor the movement of injected CO2,such as crosswell,vertical seismic profile（VSP）,moving source profiling（MSP）,2D and 3D surface time lapse techniques.In 2004,surface seismic sources were tested in a pilot study at the Ketzin site for the

Adsorption and Transfer Properties for Toluene and pDichlorobenzene in Dense CO_2/Silica Gel Packed Bed System by Moment Method and Time-Domain Analysis

Based on chromatographic theory, the moment method and the time-domain fitting analysis were applied to measure and evaluate the adsorption equilibrium constant and mass transfer properties (axial dispersion coefficient and effective intra-particle diffusivity) for toluene and p-dichlorobenzene on silica gel adsorbent in the subcritical and supercritical CO2. An apparatus based on supercritical fluid chromatography was established and the experiments were performed at temperatures of 298.15-318.15 K and pressures of 7.5-17.8 MPa. The two methods have been compared. The results show that for the systems studied here the moment method can give reasonable values for both adsorption equilibrium constant and mass transfer properties, but the time-domain analysis only can obtain the adsorption equilibrium constant. The dependence of adsorption equilibrium constant and mass transfer properties on temperature and pressure was investigated.

Pore-scale study based on lattice Boltzmann method of density driven natural convection during CO_2 injection project

Saline aquifers are chosen for geological storage of greenhouse gas CO_2 because of their storage potential.In almost all cases of practical interest,CO_2 is present on top of the liquid and CO_2 dissolution leads to a small increase in the density of the aqueous phase.This situation results in the creation of negative buoyancy force for downward density-driven natural convection and consequently enhances CO_2 sequestration.In order to study CO_2 injection at pore-level,an isothermal Lattice Boltzmann Model(LBM) with two distribution functions is adopted to simulate density-driven natural convection in porous media with irregular geometry obtained by image treatment.The present analysis showed that after the onset of natural convection instability,the brine with a high CO_2 concentration infringed into the underlying unaffected brine,in favor of the migration of CO_2 into the pore structure.With low Rayleigh numbers,the instantaneous mass flux and total dissolved CO_2 mass are very close to that derived from penetration theory(diffusion only),but the fluxes are significantly enhanced with high Ra number.The simulated results show that as the time increases,some chaotic and recirculation zones in the flow appear obviously,which promotes the renewal of interfacial liquid,and hence enhances dissolution of CO_2 into brine.This study is focused on the scale of a few pores,but shows implications in enhanced oil/gas recovery with CO_2 sequestration in aquifers.

Integrated process of large-scale and size-controlled SnO_2 nanoparticles by hydrothermal method

SnO2 nanoparticles with the average particle size of 5-30 nm were synthesized using SnCl4·5H2O as the precursor and NH3·H2O as the mineralizing agent by hydrothermal method.In the case of 1 kg/batch production,the effects of synthesis conditions including solution concentration,reaction temperature,pressure,time and pH value on the grain size,particle morphology and crystal structure of SnO2 were systematically studied.The particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD） and transmission electron microscopy（TEM）.The results show that,the particle size can be well controlled in the range of 5-30 nm by adjusting the processing parameters such as reaction temperature and time when the crystal structure and particle morphology remain unchanged.The previous reports,the unusual dependences of the grain size of SnO2 on reaction temperature and time were found.The mechanism for such abnormal grain growth behavior was tentatively elucidated.

Synthesis of nanostructured Li_2FeSiO_4/C cathode for lithium-ion battery by solution method

Nanosphere-like Li2FeSiO4/C was synthesized via a solution method using sucrose as carbon sources under a mild condition of time-saving and energy-saving, followed by sintering at high temperatures for crystallization. The amount of carbon in the composite is less than 10% （mass fraction）, and the X-ray diffraction result confirms that the sample is of pure single phase indexed with the orthorhombic Pmn21 space group. The particle size of the Li2FeSiO4/C synthesized at 700 °C for 9 h is very fine and spherical-like with a size of 200 nm. The electrochemical performance of this material, including reversible capacity, cycle number, and charge-discharge characteristics, were tested. The cell of this sample can deliver a discharge capacity of 166 mA-h/g at C/20 rate in the first three cycles. After 30 cycles, the capacity decreases to 158 mA-h/g, and the capacity retention is up to 95%. The results show that this method can prepare nanosphere-like Li2FeSiO4/C composite with good electrochemical performance.
