碳纳米管和镍共修饰BDD电极及其在非酶葡萄糖电化学传感器中的应用

目的制备碳纳米管-镍/掺硼金刚石复合电极(CNTs-Ni/BDD),并用于非酶葡萄糖电化学检测。方法采用热丝化学气相沉积(HFCVD)在硅基体上沉积BDD,然后采用物理气相沉积(PVD)技术在BDD上沉积Ni薄膜,最后在管式炉中对Ni/BDD样品进行900℃热催化处理,调控热处理时间分别为30、90 min,得到不同微观结构的CNTs-Ni/BDD复合电极。采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、Raman光谱和电化学工作站分别表征电极的表面形貌、成分和电化学性能。结果在Ni的高温催化作用下,BDD作为基体和唯一碳源,在其表面直接生长出CNTs,实现Ni纳米颗粒和CNTs共修饰BDD。热处理时间由30 min增加到90 min,CNTs长度明显增加,对BDD的覆盖程度增加,且顶端的Ni颗粒消失。CNTs和Ni的共修饰作用极大地提升了葡萄糖的电化学检测性能,且30min-CNTs-Ni/BDD复合电极性能更优异,其灵敏度在葡萄糖浓度0.005~0.02mmol/L、0.02~1mmol/L、1.0~5.5mmol/L线性范围内分别为475、42、19μA/((mmol/L)·cm2),检测限为0.42μmol/L(S/N=3)。结论热催化处理可以简单高效地实现CNTs、Ni共修饰BDD,该复合电极能够有效地提升葡萄糖电化学检测性能。

C-I codoped porous g-C_3N_4 for superior photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Porous C‐I codoped carbon nitride materials were synthesized by in‐situ codoping with iodized ionic liquid followed by post‐thermal treatment in air.The effects of doping content of C‐I codoping with different amounts of ionic liquid on the structural,optical and photocatalytic properties of the samples were investigated.Characterization results show that more compact interlayer sacking can be achieved by post‐thermal treatment.Combined with C‐I codoping by insertion of ionic liquids,much enlarged surface area but optimized sp2 conjugated heterocyclic structure can be found in the catalysts.Optical and energy band analysis results evidence that the light absorptions especially in visible light region are significantly improved.Although the band gap of porous C‐I codoped samples enlarge because of the generation of porous,the negatively shifted conduction band position thermodynamically supplies stronger motivation for water reduction.Photoelectricity tests reveal that the photo‐induced electron density was increased after C‐I codoping modification.Also,the recombination rate of electron‐hole pairs is remarkably inhibited.The catalysts with moderate C‐I codoing content perform sharply enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution activity under visible light irradiation.A H2 evolution rate of 168.2μmol/h was achieved and it was more than 9.8 times higher than pristine carbon nitride.This study demonstrates a novel non‐metal doping strategy for synthesis and optimization of polymer semiconductor with gratifying photocatalytic H2 evolution performance from water hydrolysis.

Rapid synthesis of ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst for amination of ethanolamine

ZSM-5 zeolite was rapidly synthesized in system containing ethylenediamine from the initial gel: (5?8) Na2O: 44 EDA:Al2O3:100 SiO2:4000 H2O. The crystals were lath-shaped. The effect of pretreatment and alkalinity on crystallinity was investigated. The pretreatment of silicate source can cut down the crystallization time. Tuning the system alkalinity and controlling crystallization time can ensure forming of pure crystal.

Oxygen-deficient bismuth tungstate and bismuth oxide composite photoanode with improved photostability

A homogeneous layer of Bi_2O_3-Bi_(14)WO_(24) composite(BWO/Bi_2O_3) thin film was fabricated using a combination of electrodeposition and thermal treatment. The evenly distributed Bi14 WO24 component within the Bi_2O_3 layer was found to be important in stabilising the photoelectrochemical performances of Bi_2O_3 photoanode by promoting the photoelectron transport. The unmodified Bi_2O_3 suffered from severe photocorrosion as proven by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and inductively coupled plasma(ICP) analyses while the composite thin film was active without noticeable activity decay for at least 3 h of illumination. This strategy might be applicable to other photocatalysts with stability issues.

Maximizing the visible light photoelectrochemical activity of B/N-doped anatase TiO_2 microspheres with exposed dominant {001} facets

Anatase TiO2 microspheres with exposed dominant {001} facets were doped with interstitial boron to have a concentration gradient with the maximum concentration at the surface. They were then further doped with substitutional nitrogen by heating in an ammonia atmosphere at different temperatures from 440 to 560℃ to give surface N concentrations ranging from 7.03 to 15.47 at%. The optical absorption, atomic and electronic structures and visible-light photoelectrochemical water oxidation activity of these materials were investigated. The maximum activity of the doped TiO2 was achieved at a nitrogen doping temperature of 520℃ that gave a high absorbance over the whole visible light region but with no defect-related background absorption.

Bifurcation behaviors of catalytic combustion in a micro-channel

Bifurcation analysis of ignition and extinction of catalytic combustion in a short micro-channel is carded out with the laminar flow model incorporated as the flow model. The square of transverse Thiele modulus and the residence time are used as bifurcation parameters. The influences of different parameters on ignition and extinction behavior are investigated. It is shown that all these parameters have great effects on the bifurcation behaviors of ignition and extinction in the short micro-channel. The effects of flow models on bifurcation behaviors of combustion are also analyzed. The results show that in comparison with the flat velocity profile model, for the case of the laminar flow model, the temperatures of ignition and extinction of combustion are higher and the unsteady multiple solution region is larger.
