This paper reports the isolation and structural elucidation of a new germacranolide, cernolide A (Compound 1), from the herb. The structure of Compound 1 was determined as 2α,3β-dihydroxy-9-angeloxygermacra-4-en-6,12-olide on the basis of spectral evidence. The skeleton of Compound 1 was elucidation by IR, MS, ^1H and ^13C NMR, COSY, HMQC and HMBC experiments. The stereochemistry of Compound 1 was deduced by ROESY spectral data. Finally, the procedures of extraction and isolation were described in detail.展开更多

The syntheses of Co3O4 were achieved by chemical vapor deposition in the temperature range of 400-500℃. The structure analysis of the as-prepared material revealed the presence of two prominent IR bands peaking at 544 cm-1 (υ1) and 650 cm-1 (υ2) respectively, which originate from the stretching vibrations of the Co-O bond, characteristic of the Co3O4 spinel. The lattice stability limit of Co3O4 was estimated to be above 650℃. The redox properties of the spinel structure were determined by integrating the area under the emission bands υ1 and υ2 as a function of the temperature. Moreover, Co3O4 has been successfully tested as a catalyst towards complete oxidation of dimethyl ether below 340 ℃. The exhaust gas analysis during the catalytic process by in situ absorption FTIR revealed that only CO2 and H2O were detected as the final products in the catalytic reaction. The redox behavior suggests that the oxidation of dimethyl ether over Co3O4 follows a Mars-van Krevelen type mechanism. The comprehensive application of in situ FTIR provides a novel diagnostic tool in characterization and performance test of catalysts.展开更多

The heterostructures were obtained with a chemical mixing method. Scanning electron microscope images show that the samples appear as a homogeneous powder of rutile with carbon nanotubes intercalated in interspaces between the TiO2 grains. Characterization by both X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cathodo-luminescence analysis show the formation of CO-Ti chemical bonds with a decrease of 0.8 eV in the band gap compared to pure rutile. The consequence of this band gap modification is a strong change in optical properties. Luminescence emission is drastically reduced and absorption in the visible range is increased of about 6% at very low concentration (1%) of carbon nanotubes.展开更多

The oxide scales formed on nickel substrates were performed using SEM and TEM. It was found that Y-implantation greatly improved the anti-oxidation ability of nickel both in isothermal and cyclic oxidizing experiments. Laser Raman microscopy was also used to study the stress status of oxide scales formed on nickel with and without yttrium. The main reason for the improvement in anti-oxidation and adhesion of oxide scale was Y-implantation greatly reduced the grain size of NiO and lowered the compressive stress within the scale. Yttrium implantation enhanced the adhesion of protective NiO oxide scale formed on nickel substrate.展开更多

The photo-induced charge transportation behavior of TiO_(2) nanotube arrays was also studied by quali- tatively analyzing their SPV phase spectra measured under different external bias. When a negative bias was applied, carriers excited from surface states have the same transportation properties as those excited from the valence band; in contrast, when a positive bias was applied, these two kinds of photo-excited carriers exhibit different transportation behavior..展开更多
