The SEM and TEM results suggested that the nanosheets g-C_3N_4 were stacked on the surface of regular Bi_4Ti_3O_(12) sheets. Comparing with pure Bi_4Ti_3O_(12) and g-C_3N_4, the Bi_4Ti_3O_(12)/g-C_3N_4 composites showed significant enhancement in photocatalytic efficiency for the degradation of RhB in solution. With the mass ratio of g-C_3N_4 increasing to 10 wt%, the Bi_4Ti_3O_(12)/g-C_3N_4-10% presented the best photocatalytic activity. Its photocatalysis reaction constant was approximately 2 times higher than the single component Bi_4Ti_3O_(12) or g-C_3N_4. Meanwhile, good stability and durability for the Bi_4Ti_3O_(12)/g-C_3N_4-10% were confirmed by the recycling experiment and FT-IR analysis. The possible mechanism for the improvements was the matched band positions and the effective separation of photo-excited electrons(e-) and holes(h+). Furthermore, based on the results of active species trapping, photo-generated holes(h+) and superoxide radical(·O2-) could be the main radicals in reaction.展开更多

X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmis- sion electron microscopy, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, inductively coupled plas- ma-optical emission spectrometry, the brunauer emmett teller (BET) method, tempera- ture-programmed NH3 desorption, and pyridine adsorption infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the catalyst. The results showed that loading HPW on Hβ effectively increased the B acidity and decreased the pore size of Hβ. The B acidity of HPW/Hβ was 142.97 μmol/g, which is 69.74% higher than that of Hβ (84.23 μmol/g). The catalytic activity of the HPW/Hβ catalyst was much better than that of the parent Hβ zeolite because of its high B acidity. The toluene conversion over HPW/Hβ reached 73.1%, which is much higher than that achieved with Hβ (54.0%). When HPW was loaded on Hβ, the BET surface area of Hβ decreased from 492.5 to 379.6 m2/g, accompa- nied by a significant decrease in the pore size from 3.90 to 3.17 nm. Shape selectivity can therefore play an important role and increase the product selectivity of the HPW/Hβ catalyst compared with that of the parent Hβ. PTBT (kinetic diameter 0.58 nm) can easily diffuse through the narrowed pores of HPW/Hβ, but 3-tert-butyltoluene (kinetic diameter 0.65 nm) diffusion is restricted because of steric hindrance in these narrow pores. This results in high PTBT selectivity over HPW/Hβ (around 81%). The HPW/Hβ catalyst gave a stable catalytic performance in reusability tests.展开更多

A novel C60-1ike molecule C48O12 with rare Th symmetry has been studied at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. Its structural, electronic, vibrational, NMR, and thermodynamic properties have been calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. Vibrational modes have been assigned according to their symmetry. There are 73 independent vibrational modes: 22 IR-active modes with Tu symmetry and 37 Raman-active modes with Ag, Eg and Tg symmetry, respectively. The heat of formation has been calculated by using isodesmic reactions, 765.7 kJ mol-1. According to the heat of formation and the HOMO-LUMO gap, C48O12 with rare Th symmetry is more stable than C6o.展开更多
