The microstructures and shapes vary with the TiB2+Al2O3 content in the NiAl matrix. TiB2 particles take a great variety of elementary shapes such as white bars, plates, herringbones, regular cubes and cuboids. These results outline a strategy of self-assembly processes in real time to build diversified microstructures. Some TiB2 grains in sizes of 2-5μm are embeded in Al2O3 clusters, while a small number of TiB2 particles disperse in the NiAl matrix. It is believed that the higher the TiB2+Al2O3 content is, the more the regular shapes and homogeneous distributions of TiB2 and Al2O3 will be present in the NiAl matrix.展开更多

The catalytic performance of co mmonly used heteropolyacids (H3PW12O40, H4SiW12O40 and H3PMO12O40 synthesis of 4,4'-methylenedianiline (4,4'-MDA) from aniline and formaldehyde was evaluated and the result showed ...The catalytic performance of co mmonly used heteropolyacids (H3PW12O40, H4SiW12O40 and H3PMO12O40 synthesis of 4,4'-methylenedianiline (4,4'-MDA) from aniline and formaldehyde was evaluated and the result showed that H4SiW12O40 with moderate acid strength exhibited the best catalytic performance. Then HaSiW12O40@MIL-100(Fe) was prepared by encapsulating H4SiW12O40 within the pores of MIL-100(Fe) to facilitate its recovery and reuse. The prepared H4SiW12O40@MIL-100(Fe) was characterized by means of FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, TG and then the catalytic performance was evaluated. The result showed that H4SiW12O40 was highly dispersed in the pores of MIL-100(Fe), and both the Keggin structure of HaSiW12O40 and the crystal skeleton structure of MIL-100(Fe) could be effectively/preserved. Furthermore, H4SiW12O40@ MIL-100(Fe) showed excellent catalytic performance under the following reaction conditions: a molar ratio of aniline to formaldehyde = 5, a mass ratio of catalyst to formaldehyde = 1.2, a reaction temperature of 120 ℃ and a reaction time of 6 h. Under the above reaction conditions, the conversion of aniline was 41.1%, and the yield and selectivity of 4,4'-MDA were 81,6% and 79.2%, respectively. Unfortunately, an appreciable loss in the catalytic activity of the recovered H4SiW12O40@MIL-100(Fe) was observed because of the blocking of the pores and the change of the acidity resulted from the adsorption of alkaline organics such as aniline and 4,4'-MDA. The adsorbed alkaline organics could be cleaned up when the recovered catalyst was washed by methanol and DMF. Then the catalyst was effectively reused up to three cycles without much loss in its activity.展开更多

This work proposes a dynamics-based characterization of one large class of Z-type HOTPs without specifically relying on any crystalline symmetry considerations. The key element of our innovative approach is to connect quantum quench dynamics with nested configurations of the socalled band inversion surfaces(BISs) of momentum-space Hamiltonians as a sum of operators from the Clifford algebra(a condition that can be partially relaxed), thereby making it possible to dynamically detect each and every order of topology on an equal footing. Given that experiments on synthetic topological matter can directly measure the winding of certain pseudospin texture to determine topological features of BISs, the topological invariants defined through nested BISs are all within reach of ongoing experiments. Further, the necessity of having nested BISs in defining higher-order topology offers a unique perspective to investigate and engineer higher-order topological phase transitions.展开更多

Nature provides antibodies for the specific recognition of antigens, which is a straight-forward way for targeted analysis. However, there are still limitations during the practical applications due to the big size of the antibodies, which accelerate the discovery of small molecular probes. Peptides built from various optional building blocks and easily achieved by chemical synthetic approaches with predictable conformations, are versatile and can act as tailor-made targeting vehicles.In this mini review, we summarize the recent developments in the discovery of novel peptides for bioanalytical and biomedical applications. Progresses in peptide-library design and selection strategies are presented. Recent achievements in the peptide-guided detection, imaging and disease treatment are also focused.展开更多

However, little is known about the effect of volatile components in oil on diamondoid generation and diamondoid indices due to the lack of attention to these components in experiments. In this study, the effect of volatile components in oil on diamondoid generation and maturity indices was investigated by the pyrolysis simulation experiments on a normal crude oil from the HD23 well of the Tarim Basin and its residual oil after artificial volatilization, combined with quantitative analysis of diamondoids. The results indicate that the volatile components(≤n C12) in oil have an obvious contribution to the generation of adamantanes, which occurs mainly in the early stage of oil cracking(Easy Ro<1.0%), and influences the variations in maturity indices of adamantanes; but they have no obvious effect on the generation and maturity indices of diamantanes. Therefore, some secondary alterations e.g., migration, gas washing, and biodegradation, which may result in the loss of light hydrocarbons in oil under actual geological conditions, could affect the identification of adamantanes generated during the late-stage cracking of crude oil, and further influence the practical application of adamantane indices.展开更多
