Transmission electron microscope TEM and atomic force microscope AFM characterizations confirmed that the sizes and heights of GQDs were 5.02±0.92 nm and 0.6 nm respectively.A strong PL emission exhibited unique excitation wavelength dependent features.Also the carbene-like free zigzag edge sites were proposed to be the origin of the strong PL emission.The GQDs were demonstrated to be a superior probe for Fe3+ detection in aqueous solution with a high sensitivity and feasibility due to the special coordinate interaction between Fe3+and the phenolic hydroxyl group at GQDs.展开更多

The influences of reaction conditions on the viscosity average molecular weight were studied. The critical value of synthetic PAA Na inhibiting the precipitation of CaCO 3 was determined and compared with that of other common builders. It is confirmed from SEM graphs that PAA Na can make CaCO 3 crystal defective. Washing tests show synthetic PAA Na can partially replace sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and is a potential polymeric detergent builder in low phosphate powder detergents.展开更多

Methods Polypropylene (PP) composites filled with talc(Ta), baryta sulfate and calcium carbonate coupled with silane grafted polypropylene (PP-g-Si) were made, their mechanical properties and thermal properties were investigated, respectively. Results As compared with the non-coupled composites, the mechanical properties of PP/Ta/PP-g-Si composites were improved to some extent, though the values of tensile modulus and the strain at peak were decreased. But for PP/BaSO4 and PP/CaCO3 composites, the values of their mechanical properties varied slightly or even decreased with increasing PP-g-Si content within the experimental component. Meanwhile, PP-g-Si also affected the melting and crystallization behavior of PP in the composites. Conclusion PP-g-Si offers compatibilization in PP/Ta composites, but offers no-compatibilization in PP/BaSO4 and PP/CaCO3 composites within the extent of the present range of PP-g-Si, which shows that PP-g-Si can be used as the macromolecular coupling agent of PP and Ta composite.展开更多

The nanohybrids were characterized by SEM, TEM and XPS, and the results show that CoO nanoparticles (3-5 nm) distribute uniformly on the surface of graphene. The CoO/graphene nanohybrids display high performance as an anode material for lithium-ion battery, such as high reversible lithium storage capacity (650 mA-h/g after 50 cycles, almost twice that of commercial graphite anode), high coulombic efficiency (over 95%) and excellent cycling stability. The extraordinary performance arises from the structure of the nanohybrids: the nanosized CoO particles with high dispersity on conductive graphene substrates are beneficial for lithium-ion insertion/extraction, shortening diffusion length for lithium ions and improving conductivity, thus the lithium storage performance was improved.展开更多

The verified model can be used to investigate the influence of catalyst diameter on the flow distribution inside the particle. The simulation results demonstrate that the mass fraction gradients of all species, temperature gradient and pressure gradient increase with the increase of the particle diameter. It means that there is a high intraparticle transfer resistance and strong diffusion when applying the large catalysts. The external particle mass transfer resistance is nearly constant under different particle diameters so that the effect of particle diameter at external diffusion can be ignored. A large particle diameter can lead to a high surface temperature, which indicates the external heat transfer resistance. Moreover, the selectivity of reaction may be changed with a variety of particle diameters so that choosing appropriate particle size can enhance the production of butadiene and optimize the reaction process.展开更多
