分子束外延特性及目前的状态

分子束外延(MBE)技术一直被用于制造新一代微波和光电子学器件。用超薄层结构或选择掺杂形成“带结构工程”并制备出人工结构的材料。已经制出新型的共振隧道和量子阱器件,如频率放大器、逻辑电路、光开关和工作于3-10μm波长的高质量GaAs/AlGaAs超晶格探测器。MBE在Ⅳ族材料方面的发展包括生长无针孔硅-硅化物结构、单晶SiO_x和Si/Ge_xSi_(1-x)/Si异质结器件。在Ⅱ-Ⅵ族化合物和可见波长激光器方面首次观察到令人振奋的结果。在标准制造条件下,用固体源MBE制备的3英寸膜片的厚度改变为1.5％。膜片-膜片之间的改变为3％。75％的膜片每平方厘米仅有100-300个缺陷,最好的膜片每平方厘米仅有30个缺陷。对MBE提出的进一步要求是自动化和高产率。对于气体源的MBE来说,重要的是发展无毒和高纯度气体源以满足制造的要求。

Promotional effects of Er incorporation in CeO_2(ZrO_2)/TiO_2 for selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH_3

A series CeO2（ZrO2）/TiO2 catalysts were modified with Er using a sol-gel method.The catalytic activity of the obtained catalysts in the selective catalytic reduction（SCR） of NO with NH3 was investigated to determine the appropriate Er dosage.The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction,N2 adsorption,NH3 temperature-programmed desorption,H2 temperature-programmed reduction,photoluminescence spectroscopy,electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The results showed that the optimum Er/Ce molar ratio was 0.10;this catalyst had excellent resistance to catalyst poisoning caused by vapor and sulfur and gave more than 90% NO conversion at 220–395 ℃ and a gas hourly space velocity of 71 400 h^-1.Er incorporation increased the Ti^3＋ concentrations,oxygen storage capacities,and oxygen vacancy concentrations of the catalysts,resulting in excellent catalytic performance.Er incorporation also decreased the acid strength and inhibited growth of TiO2 and CeO2 crystal particles,which increased the catalytic activity.The results show that high oxygen vacancy concentrations and oxygen storage capacities,large amounts of Ti^3＋,and low acid strengths give excellent SCR activity.

Improving the denitration performance and K-poisoning resistance of the V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2 catalyst by Ce^(4+) and Zr^(4+) co-doping

A series of V2O5‐WO3/TiO2‐ZrO2,V2O5‐WO3/TiO2‐CeO2,and V2O5‐WO3/TiO2‐CeO2‐ZrO2 catalysts were synthesized to improve the selective catalytic reduction(SCR)performance and the K‐poisoning resistance of a V2O5‐WO3/TiO2 catalyst.The physicochemical properties were investigated by using XRD,BET,NH3‐TPD,H2‐TPR,and XPS,and the catalytic performance and K‐poisoning resistance were evaluated via a NH3‐SCR model reaction.Ce^4+and Zr^4+co‐doping were found to enhance the conversion of NOx,and exhibit the best K‐poisoning resistance owing to the largest BET‐specific surface area,pore volume,and total acid site concentration,as well as the minimal effects on the surface acidity and redox ability from K poisoning.The V2O5‐WO3/TiO2‐CeO2‐ZrO2 catalyst also presents outstanding H2O+SO2 tolerance.Finally,the in situ DRIFTS reveals that the NH3‐SCR reaction over the V2O5‐WO3/TiO2‐CeO2‐ZrO2 catalyst follows an L‐H mechanism,and that K poisoning does not change the reaction mechanism.

Layered double hydroxide-like Mg_3Al_(1–x)Fe_x materials as supports for Ir catalysts: Promotional effects of Fe doping in selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde

Supported Ir catalysts were prepared using layered double hydrotalcite‐like materials,such as Mg3Al1-xFex,containing Fe and Al species in varying amounts as supports.These Ir catalysts were applied for the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde(CAL).When x was changed from 0(Ir/Mg3Al)to 1(Ir/Mg3Fe),the rate of CAL hydrogenation reached a maximum at approximately x=0.25,while the selectivity to unsaturated alcohol,i.e.,cinnamyl alcohol,monotonously increased from 44.9%to 80.3%.Meanwhile,the size of the supported Ir particles did not change significantly with x,remaining at 1.7-0.2 nm,as determined by transmission electron microscopy.The chemical state of Ir and Fe species in the Ir/Mg3Al1-xFex catalysts was examined by temperature programmed reduction by H2 and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The surface of the supported Ir particles was also examined through the in‐situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier‐transform of a probe molecule of CO.On the basis of these characterization results,the effects of Fe doping to Mg3Al on the structural and catalytic properties of Ir particles in selective CAL hydrogenation were discussed.The significant factors are the electron transfer from Fe2+in the Mg3Al1–xFex support to the dispersed Ir particles and the surface geometry.

Comprehensive understanding of the superior performance of Sm-modified Fe_(2)O_(3)catalysts with regard to NO conversion and H_(2)O/SO_(2)resistance in the NH_(3)-SCR reaction

Sm-doped Fe_(2)O_(3)catalysts,with a homogeneous distribution of Sm in Fe_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles,were synthesized using a citric acid-assisted sol-gel method.Kinetic studies show that the reaction rate for NO_(x)reduction using the optimal catalyst(0.06 mol%doping of Sm in Fe_(2)O_(3))was nearly 11 times higher than that for pure Fe_(2)O_(3),when calculated based on specific surface area.Furthermore,the Fe_(0.94)Sm_(0.06)O_(x)catalyst maintains>83%NO_(x)conversion for 168 h at a high space velocity in the presence of SO_(2)and H_(2)O at 250℃.A substantial amount of surface-adsorbed oxygen was generated on the surface of Fe_(0.94)Sm_(0.06)O_(x),which promoted NO oxidation and the subsequent fast reaction between NO_(x)and NH_(3).The adsorption and activation of NH_(3)was also enhanced by Sm doping.In addition,Sm doping facilitated the decomposition of NH_(4)HSO_(4)on the surface of Fe_(0.94)Sm_(0.06)O_(x),resulting in its high activity and stability in the presence of SO_(2)+H_(2)O.

Cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon for room-temperature selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes

Here,we report cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated in nitrogen‐doped carbon(Co@NC)that exhibit excellent catalytic activity and chemoselectivity for room‐temperature hydrogenation of nitroarenes.Co@NC was synthesized by pyrolyzing a mixture of a cobalt salt,an inexpensive organic molecule,and carbon nitride.Using the Co@NC catalyst,a turnover frequency of^12.3 h?1 and selectivity for 4‐aminophenol of>99.9%were achieved for hydrogenation of 4‐nitrophenol at room temperature and 10 bar H2 pressure.The excellent catalytic performance can be attributed to the cooperative effect of hydrogen activation by electron‐deficient Co nanoparticles and energetically preferred adsorption of the nitro group of nitroarenes to electron‐rich N‐doped carbon.In addition,there is electron transfer from the Co nanoparticles to N‐doped carbon,which further enhances the functionality of the metal center and carbon support.The catalyst also exhibits stable recycling performance and high activity for nitroaromatics with various substituents.

Efficient photoelectrochemical CO_(2) conversion for selective acetic acid production

Amidst the development of photoelectrochemical(PEC)CO_(2) conversion toward practical application,the production of high-value chemicals beyond C1 compounds under mild conditions is greatly desired yet challenging.Here,through rational PEC device design by combining Au-loaded and N-doped TiO_(2) plate nanoarray photoanode with Zn-doped Cu_(2)O dark cathode,efficient conversion of CO_(2) to CH3COOH has been achieved with an outstanding Faradaic efficiency up to 58.1%(91.5%carbon selectivity)at 0.5 V vs.Ag/AgCl.Temperature programmed desorption and in situ Raman spectra reveal that the Zn-dopant in Cu_(2)O plays multiple roles in selective catalytic CO_(2) conversion,including local electronic structure manipulation and active site modification,which together promote the formation of intermediate*CH2/*CH3 for C-C coupling.Apart from that,it is also unveiled that the sufficient electron density provided by the Au-loaded and N-doped TiO_(2) plate nanoarray photoanode plays an equally important role by initiating multi-electron CO_(2) reduction.This work provides fresh insights into the PEC system design to reach the multi-electron reduction reaction and facilitate the C-C coupling reaction toward high-value multicarbon(C2+)chemical production via CO_(2) conversion.
