In this study, （Fe, Ti）-containing mesoporous silica （x Fe/Ti-HMS） nanoparticles were prepared by a photo-assisted deposition PAD technique, where x is a nominal composition ofFe （l to 4 wt%））. The prepared samples were characterized by DR-UV, XRD, and TEM techniques. The results showed the insertion of Fe into intra-framework of Ti-HMS resulted in a gradual narrowing of the band gap of Ti-HMS samples with increment of Fe wt%. TEM observations reveal that Fe nanoparticles are evenly distributed within Ti-HSM matrix at different Fe wt%. Such results indicate the possibility to control the band gap of a single-site photocatalyst （Ti-HMS） by coupling it with the conventional nano-sized Fe catalysts.展开更多

Because of its enormous emission rate, carbon dioxide （CO2） is the main culprit. Almost all the anthropogenic CO2 emissions come from the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation. Emissions of COg can be reduced by conservation, increased use of renewable energy sources, and increased efficiencies in both the production of electrical power and the transportation sector. Capture of CO2 can be accomplished with wet scrubbing, dry sorption, or biogenic fixation. After CO2 is captured, it must be transported either as a liquid or a supercritical fluid, which realistically can only be accomplished by pipeline or ship. Final disposal of CO2 will either be to underground reservoirs or to the ocean; at present, the underground option seems to be the only viable one. Various strategies and technologies involved with reduction of CO2 emissions and carbon capture and sequestration （CCS） are briefly reviewed in this paper.展开更多

Here, we demonstrate that VO can be spatially confined on the surface through a sophisticated surface hydrogen bond(HB) network.The HB network is constructed between a hydroxyl-rich Bi OCl surface and polyprotic phosphoric acid,which remarkably decreases the formation energy of surface VO by selectively weakening the metal–oxygen bonds in a short range. Thus, surface-confined VO enables us to unambiguously distinguish the intrafacial and suprafacial oxygen species associated with NO oxidation in two classical catalytic systems.Unlike randomly distributed bulk VO that benefits the thermocatalytic NO oxidation and lattice O diffusion by the dominant intrafacial mechanism, surface VOis demonstrated to favor the photocatalytic NO oxidation through a suprafacial scheme by energetically activating surface O2, which should be attributed to the spatial confinement nature of surface VO.展开更多
