Promotion effects of alkali metals on iron molybdate catalysts for CO_(2)catalytic hydrogenation

CO_(2)hydrogenation is an attractive way to store and utilize carbon dioxide generated by industrial processes,as well as to produce valuable chemicals from renewable and abundant resources.Iron catalysts are commonly used for the hydrogenation of carbon oxides to hydrocarbons.Iron-molybdenum catalysts have found numerous applications in catalysis,but have been never evaluated in the CO_(2)hydrogenation.In this work,the structural properties of iron-molybdenum catalysts without and with a promoting alkali metal(Li,Na,K,Rb,or Cs)were characterized using X-ray diffraction,hydrogen temperatureprogrammed reduction,CO_(2)temperature-programmed desorption,in-situ^(57)Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy and operando X-ray adsorption spectroscopy.Their catalytic performance was evaluated in the CO_(2)hydrogenation.During the reaction conditions,the catalysts undergo the formation of an iron(Ⅱ)molybdate structure,accompanied by a partial reduction of molybdenum and carbidization of iron.The rate of CO_(2)conversion and product selectivity strongly depend on the promoting alkali metals,and electronegativity was identified as an important factor affecting the catalytic performance.Higher CO_(2)conversion rates were observed with the promoters having higher electronegativity,while low electronegativity of alkali metals favors higher light olefin selectivity.

Deep learning for determining pure isotropic proton spectra from solidstate spectra

Recently,an article on ^(1)H solid-state NMR spectra was published,in which the authors proposed a deep learning approach to infer the pure isotropic proton NMR spectra obtained at an infinite magic angle spinning(MAS)rate.This approach even allowed to obtain,by far,the best resolved ^(1)H spectra of molecular solids[1](https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202216607).Deep learning based artificial intelligence is developing rapidly,and its application is deepening.Currently,there are many applications of deep learning in the field of magnetic resonance,such as the reconstruction of the under-sampled multidimensional spectra[2-4],the deconvolution of two-dimensional NMR spectra[5]and noise suppression and weak peak retrial[6],etc.

Tunable spectral continuous shift of high-order harmonic generation in atoms by a plasmon-assisted shaping pulse

We delve into the phenomenon of high-order harmonic generation within a helium atom under the influence of a plasmon-assisted shaping pulse.Our findings reveal an intriguing manipulation of the frequency peak position in the harmonic emission by adjusting the absolute phase parameter within the frequency domain of the shaping pulse.This phenomenon holds potential significance for experimental setups necessitating precisely tuned single harmonics.Notably,we observe a modulated shift in the created harmonic photon energy,spanning an impressive range of 1.2 eV.This frequency peak shift is rooted in the asymmetry exhibited by the rising and falling edges of the laser pulse,directly influencing the position of the peak frequency emission.Our study quantifies the dependence of this tuning range and the asymmetry of the laser pulse,offering valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms driving this phenomenon.Furthermore,our investigation uncovers the emergence of semi-integer order harmonics as the phase parameter is altered.We attribute this discovery to the intricate interference between harmonics generated by the primary and secondary return cores.This observation introduces an innovative approach for generating semi-integer order harmonics,thus expanding our understanding of high-order harmonic generation.Ultimately,our work contributes to the broader comprehension of complex phenomena in laser-matter interactions and provides a foundation for harnessing these effects in various applications,particularly those involving precise spectral control and the generation of unique harmonic patterns.

Wavelength calibration and spectral analysis of vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy in EAST

A vacuum ultraviolet(VUV)spectroscopy with a focal length of 1 m has been engineered specifically for observing edge impurity emissions in Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak(EAST).In this study,wavelength calibration for the VUV spectroscopy is achieved utilizing a zinc lamp.The grating angle and charge-coupled device(CCD)position are carefully calibrated for different wavelength positions.The wavelength calibration of the VUV spectroscopy is crucial for improving the accuracy of impurity spectral data,and is required to identify more impurity spectral lines for impurity transport research.Impurity spectra of EAST plasmas have also been obtained in the wavelength range of 50–300 nm with relatively high spectral resolution.It is found that the impurity emissions in the edge region are still dominated by low-Z impurities,such as carbon,oxygen,and nitrogen,albeit with the application of fulltungsten divertors on the EAST tokamak.

Core level excitation spectra of La and Mn ions in LaMnO3

Manganese-based perovskite is popular for research on ferromagnetic materials,and its spectroscopic studies are essential for understanding its electronic structure,dielectric,electrical,and magnetic properties.In this paper,the M-edge spectra of La ions and the M-edge,L-edge,and K-edge spectra of Mn ions in LaMnO3 are calculated by considering both the free-ion multiplet calculation and the crystal field effects.We analyze spectral shapes,identify peak origins,and estimate the oxidation states of La and Mn ions in LaMnO3 theoretically.It is concluded that La ions in LaMnO3 predominantly exist in the trivalent state,while Mn ions exist primarily in the trivalent state with a minor presence of tetravalent ions.Furthermore,the calculated spectra are in better conformity with the experimental spectra when the proportion of Mn3+is 90%and Mn4+is 10%.This article enhances our comprehension of the oxidation states of La and Mn within the crystal and also provides a valuable guidance for spectroscopic investigations of other manganates.

Surface plasmon resonance-induced visible-light photocatalytic performance of silver/silver molybdate composites

Novel silver/silver molybdate（Ag/Ag2MoO4） composites with surface plasmon resonance（SPR）-enhanced photocatalytic performance were successfully fabricated via a facile one-pot hydrothermal route with the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate（SDS） in this study.The as prepared silver/silver molybdate（Ag/Ag2MoO4） composites were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）,scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance absorption spectroscopy（DRS） in order to investigate their crystal structure,morphology and optical property as well.The photocatalytic activities of the composites were subsequently evaluated by their ability to degrade rhodamine B（RhB） under visible-light irradiation.Varies of controlled experiments were then carefully operated to gain a deep insight into the assembling of Ag/Ag2MoO4composites.It was found that preparation conditions such as pH,reaction time,and the amount of surfactant played important roles in the formation of composites with octahedral microstructures.And the composite obtained at 160 ℃ using 0.5 g of sodium dodecyl sulfate exhibited the highest photocatalytic performance under visible-light irradiation.Capture experiments were also conducted to clarify the function of different active species generated on the surface of Ag/Ag2MoO4during the photocatalytic process,in which both holes and ·OH radicals were found to play crucial role in photocatalytic removal of RhB under visible light irradiation.A possible photocatalytic mechanism of Ag/Ag2MoO4 was finally proposed on the basis of all the results to explain the higher photocatalytic activity of the octahedral Ag/Ag2MoO4 composites.It was inferred that the photoinduced ＂hot＂ electrons can quickly transfer from the Ag NPs to the conduction band of Ag2MoO4 and react with oxygen and H2O to generate a large quality of active radicals such as ·OH and ·O2^- because of the SPR effects.Besides,this SPR effects of Ag nanoparticles deposited on the surface of Ag2MoO4 can not only dramatically amplify its light absorption,especially in the visible region,but also promote the separation of photoexcited electron-hole pairs and effectively decrease electron-hole recombination.

Luminescent Properties of Samarium Ion in Calcium Molybdate

Trivalent samarium ion (Sm^(3+)) activated calcium molybdate (CaMoO_4) phosphor was prepared by solid-state reaction in air. The XRD pattern of the powder CaMoO_4∶Sm shows that the CaMoO_4∶Sm single phase is developed fully through our preparation procedure. The excitation spectrum of CaMoO_4∶Sm is composed of a broad absorption of host and some sharp lines of the f-f transition absorption of Sm^(3+). Illustrated in photoluminescence spectrum, CaMoO_4 doped with Sm^(3+) displays orange red emission that is ascribed to the inner 4f^5 electron transitions ~6H_(7/2)(orange)and ~6H_(9/2)(red)of Sm^(3+). Different from the sites of Sm^(3+) in CdWO_4, the Sm^(3+) ions substitute for the Ca^(2+) and form only one type emission center in the CaMoO_4 crystal lattice.

A novel transition metal ion bridging bis（diphosphopentamolybdates） has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis,IR spectrum,UV spectrum and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The single-crystal structure analysis shows that the compound consists of seven charge-compensating 2,2＇-biimidazole cations （BIIM=2,2＇-biimidazole） and one dumbbell-like [Mn（H2O）4（P2Mo5O23）2]10-heteropolyanion which is constructed by two [P2Mo5O23]6-clusters bridged through one [Mn（H2O）4]2＋ cation.

Synergistic Corrosion Inhibition Effect of Molybdate and Phosphate Ions for Anodic Oxidation Film Formed on 2024 Aluminum Alloy

In order to effectively improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys, anodic oxidation technique was used to generate the oxide film. We investigated the influences of two inorganic corrosion inhibitors(ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium molybdate) on the corrosion resistance of anodic oxidation films on 2024 aluminum alloy, and studied the synergistic effect of two corrosion inhibitors. The corrosion resistance of anodic oxidation film in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization curves. Results show that, after adding the single ammonium dihydrogen phosphate or sodium molybdate of 0.01 M to oxalic acid electrolyte, inhibition efficiencies of the anodized samples are 10% and 47%, respectively. However, in the presence of two inhibitors with the same concentration of 0.01 M, inhibition efficiency can be as high as 92%. Therefore, we observed the significantly synergistic corrosion inhibition effect of molybdate and phosphate ions for anodic oxidation film formed on 2024 aluminum alloy.

Removal of tungsten and vanadium from molybdate solutions using ion exchange resin

The removal of tungsten(W)and vanadium(V)from molybdate solutions was studied using the poly hydroxyl chelating resin D403in batch and column experiments.The batch experiments indicated that tungsten and vanadium could be preferentially adsorbed by the D403resin for4h in molybdate solution at a pH of approximately9.25.Separation factors,αVMo andαWMo,wereabove45and18,respectively,when the molar ratios of Mo/V and Mo/W in the solution exceeded40.Elution tests illustrated that vanadium and tungsten could be easily eluted from the resin with1mol/L sodium hydroxide solution in only1h.To further explore the sorption mechanism of the resin,the experimental equilibrium isotherm data of the three metals fitted well with the Freundlich model.The column experiments confirmed the adaptability of the D403resin in the production of sodium molybdate with a removal rate of tungsten surpassing90%and that of vanadium of99.4%.

In order to prepare fluorescent material for white Light Emitting Diodes （LEDs）, a new Eu^3＋ activated molybdate phosphor SrMoO4 was fabricated with solid-state method. X-ray diffraction （XRD） showed that the doping of trivalent europium ion reduced the lattice parameters. The excitation and emission spectra indicated that this phosphor could be excited effectively by the visible light, and then emitted red light with the peaks located at 616 and 624 nm. The influence of Eu^3＋ concentration on the luminescent properties of Eu^3＋ doped SrMoO4 was investigated and the 25% （mole fraction） was the appropriate molar concentration. The reaction time and temperature had obvious effect on the luminescent properties. The luminescent intensity reached the strongest when it was sintered at 800 ℃ for 3 h.

Role and Mechanism of Action of Exogenous Salicylic Acid and Sodium Molybdate in Improving Cold Tolerance of Bougainvillea glabra

This study was conducted to comprehensively evaluate the effects of salicylic acid and sodium molybdate on cold tolerance of an ornamental plant Bougainvillea glabra and to provide a theoretical guidance for landscape maintenance.B.glabra plants were treated with 0.5 mmol/L salicylic acid and 2.0 μmol/L alone or in combination,and then exposed to low temperature stress before physiological indices were measured.The results showed that all salicylic acid and sodium molybdate treatments reduced the relative conductivity and malondialdehyde( MDA) content of B.glabra to varying extents under the stress of low temperature,and more significant effect was achieved by using the two agents in combination.Oxygen free radicals production rate increased with decreasing temperature from 20 to 6 ℃,but declined with temperature decreasing from 3 to-3 ℃.The SOD activity of the control( CK) was significantly lower than that of other treatments at 0 and-3 ℃.The treatments with salicylic acid and sodium molybdate alone and in combination increased POD activity of B.glabra plants,especially at 0 ℃,as the POD activity of treatments T1,T2 and T3 was significantly higher than that of CK at 0 ℃.In addition,under low temperature stress,the contents of soluble sugar,starch and proline increased initially and decreased subsequently with temperature decreasing.The soluble sugar content at 3 ℃,starch and proline contents at 0 and-3 ℃ in treatments with salicylic acid and sodium molybdate alone and in combination were significantly higher than those of CK.All above results proved that salicylic acid and sodium molybdate are able to improve cold tolerance of B.glabra,and better effect can be achieved by using them together.

The equilibrium adsorption isotherm and kinetic of the sorption process for W and Mo on macro chelating resin D403 were investigated on single Na2 Mo O4 and Na2WO4 solutions.The sorption isotherm results show that the adsorption process of W obeys the Freundlich model very well whereas the exchange process with Mo approximately follows the Henry model.The kinetic experiments show that the intraparticle diffusion process was the rate-determining step for W sorption on the resin,and the corresponding activation energy is calculated to be 21.976 k J/mol.

Leaching kinetics of calcium molybdate with hydrochloric acid in presence of phosphoric acid

Calcium molybdate(CaMoO4)is the main component of powellite and is a predominant intermediate in the pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical process of molybdenum.The extraction of Mo from CaMoO4 by a combination of phosphoric acid and hydrochloric acid was investigated.For further understanding of the leaching mechanism,the effects of five key factors were studied to describe the leaching kinetics.The results indicated that the dissolution rate of CaMoO4 was independent of the stirring speed.Mo extraction significantly increased with increasing HCl concentration and temperature,but decreased with increasing particle size.A shrinking core model with surface chemical reaction was found to withstand the dissolution of CaMoO4.The apparent activation energy was calculated to be 70.879 kJ/mol,and a semi-empirical equation was derived for the rate of reaction.

Preparations of Pure Alkaline Earth Molybdate Phases from Single Molecular Precursors

The pure phases of alkaline earth molybdates MMoO 4, where M=Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba, were synthesized via the calcination of the related citrato oxomolybdate complexes. The mixed metal oxides can be highly dispersed at the atomic level due to the existence of uniform citrato oxomolybdenum precursors in definite composition. The complexing effect helps to produce the fine-grained oxides with particle size in the ultrafine scale(<100 nm) at heat-treatment temperatures below 500 ℃. The structures of the precursor complexes and the finally heat-treated particles were studied by means of IR, XRD, DSC, DTA and TG techniques. The morphologies of the particles were observed by using the SEM technique. The average particle sizes were calculated to be in the range of 30_50 nm based on X-ray diffraction line-broadening and SEM images, indicating the poor conglomeration of crystallite at low temperatures.

Study on Sulfidation Degree and Morphology of MoS_2 Catalyst Derived from Various Molybdate Precursors

The MoS_2 catalysts were prepared from various molybdate precursors including inorganic and organic molybdate compounds. The sulfidation degree and morphology of active phases of MoS_2 activated by various molybdate precursors in H_2S/H_2 stream at different temperatures were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM). The organic molybdate precursors lead to MoS_2 catalysts with higher sulfidation degree and smaller active phases to demonstrate higher catalytic activity during hydrodesulfurizaiton(HDS) of 4,6-DMDBT.

Mechanism of MoO2 electrodeposition from ammonium molybdate solution

A mechanism study on MoO2 electrodeposition from ammonium molybdate solution was presented via linear sweep voltammetry,species distribution diagram,Raman spectra,Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and X-ray diffractometry.The results show that there exist two reducible species in ammonium molybdate aqueous solution,i.e.Mo7 O24^6- and molybdenum ammonium complex.In weak acid medium without NH4^+,an obvious reduction peak denoting the reduction of Mo7 O24^6- to molybdenum(Ⅳ)oxides emerges at around-0.7 V(vs SCE).While in neutral and basic solutions without NH4^+,the dominant species changes to MoO4^2-,and accordingly,no reduction peak appears except hydrogen evolution.NH4^+ plays an important role in MoO2 electrodeposition.A new current peak appears at-1.25 V(vs SCE)in both acid and basic solutions,which is attributed to the reduction of molybdenum complex.The effects of solution composition and the electrodeposition conditions on the current efficiency were discussed systematically.By optimizing the electrodeposition conditions,the current efficiency can reach up to51.9%.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Polyoxomolybdate Framework Modified by Mn-L Units(L=3-(2-Pyridyl)pyrazole)

A new polyoxomolybdate compound,namely {[MnII（L）（4,4？-Hbipy）（H2O）2]2 [Mo5O15（PO4）2]}.2H2O 1（L = 3-（2-pyridyl）pyrazole,4,4＇-Hbipy = protonated 4,4＇-bipyridine）,was designed and synthesized under hydrothermal conditions.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis result reveals that the [Mo5O15（PO4）2]6-cluster in compound 1 links to two MnII cations via the oxygen of PO43-,which is further coordinated by one 3-（2-pyridyl）pyrazole,one 4,4＇-Hbipyridine,and two water molecules.

Removal of tungsten from molybdate solution by Fe-Mn binary oxide adsorbent

Considering the different geochemical enrichment behaviors of W and Mo,Fe?Mn binary oxide(FMBO),ferric hydroxide(Fe(OH)3)and manganese dioxide(MnO2)were studied to separate W from molybdate solution,respectively.The experimental results demonstrated that Fe?Mn binary oxide(FMBO)was the most suitable adsorbent for the separation.Under a wide pH(6.9?11.3)region,more than80%W removal efficiency and less than3%Mo loss could be obtained.In addition,the Fe?Mn binary oxide adsorbent can be regenerated by treating with3mol/L NaOH,and the W adsorption efficiency was retained after five adsorption?desorption?regeneration cycles.All these indicate that the Fe?Mn binary oxides have the potential for the separation of W from molybdate solution.

Photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethazine by graphitic carbon nitride-modified zinc molybdate:Effects of synthesis method on performance, degradation kinetics,and mechanism

In the present study,zinc molybdate(β‐ZnMoO4)and graphitic carbon nitride(g‐C3N4)‐modifiedβ‐ZnMoO4(β‐ZnMoO4/g‐C3N4)were prepared to decontaminate aqueous solutions from the antibiotic sulfamethazine(SMZ).Our results revealed that the hydrothermal synthesis method greatly influenced the photocatalytic activity of the resultant catalysts.The pristineβ‐ZnMoO4samples obtained under more intensive synthesis conditions(24h at280°C)showed higher photocatalytic activity than that prepared for12h at180°C(denotedβ‐ZnMoO4‐180).In the case of in situ hydrothermal synthesis ofβ‐ZnMoO4/g‐C3N4,a surface‐modified sample was only obtained under the reaction conditions of180°C for12h.Compared with the sheet‐likeβ‐ZnMoO4‐180sample,theβ‐ZnMoO4‐180/g‐C3N4composite showed enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of SMZ.By contrast,the hydrothermal reaction at280°C caused the gradual decomposition of g‐C3N4.It is believed that the structural incorporation of g‐C3N4intoβ‐ZnMoO4at280°C might disrupt the crystal growth,thereby deteriorating the performance of the composite catalysts formed at this temperature.For the composite catalysts prepared by the ultrasonic method,a remarkable increase in the degradation rate of SMZ was only observed at a high g‐C3N4content of8mol%.The photocatalytic degradation of SMZ byβ‐ZnMoO4‐180/g‐C3N4composite catalysts followed pseudo‐first‐order kinetics.Further study of the photocatalytic mechanism revealed that holes and superoxide radicals were the dominant oxidative species in the photodegradation process.The enhanced photocatalytic performance of the composites was attributed to the higher separation efficiency of the photogenerated electron‐hole pairs at heterogeneous junctions.The degradation intermediates of SMZ were detected by liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry,from which plausible reaction pathways for the photodegradation of SMZ were proposed.Our results indicated that the synthesis method for g‐C3N4composites should be carefully selected to achieve superior photocatalytic performance.
