Controllable fabrication of FeCoS_(4) nanoparticles/S-doped bowl-shaped hollow carbon as efficient lithium storage anode

To address the low conductivity and easy agglomeration of transition metal sulfide nanoparticles,FeCoS_(4) nanoparticles embedded in S-doped hollow carbon(FeCoS_(4)@S-HC)composites were successfully fabricated through a combination of hydrothermal processes and sulfidation treatment.The unique bowlshaped FeCoS_(4)/S-HC composites exhibit excellent structural stability with a high specific surface area of 303.7 m^(2)·g^(-1) and a pore volume of 0.93 cm^(3)·g^(-1).When applied as anode material for lithium-ion batteries,the FeCoS_(4)@S-HC anode exhibits efficient lithium storage with high reversible specific capacity(970.2 mA·h·g^(-1) at 100 mA·g^(-1))and enhanced cycling stability(574 mA·h·g^(-1) at 0.2 A·g^(-1) after 350 cycles,a capacity retention of 84%).The excellent lithium storage is attributed to the fact that the bimetallic FeCoS_(4) nanoparticles with abundant active sites can accelerate the electrochemical reaction kinetics,and the bowl-shaped S-HC structure can provide a stable mechanical structure to suppress volume expansion.

Preparation of bowl-shaped polydopamine surface imprinted polymer composite adsorbent for specific separation of 2'-deoxyadenosine

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have great potential as adsorbents for selective adsorption and separation of nucleoside compounds,but effectively enhancing the affinity of recognition sites by adjusting the forces between template molecules and functional monomers remains an important challenge.In this work,a surface imprinting strategy was used to construct bowl-shaped molecularly imprinted composite sorbents (BHPN@MIPs) based on polydopamine (PDA) particles and have achieved selective separation and purification of 2'-deoxyadenosine (dA).Where by the base complementary pairing interaction of the combined template molecule d A and the pyrimidine functional monomer can enhance the preassembly force,and the hydrophilic bowl-shaped PDA can provide a larger storage space contact efficiency of d A in the test solution,causing the site utilization much higher and improving the kinetic adsorption performance.The equilibrium adsorption time and maximum adsorption capacity of60 min and 328.45μmol·g^(-1)were observed by static adsorption experiments,and the selectivity experimental results showed an imprinting factor IF of 1.30.After four adsorption–desorption cycles,the initial adsorption equilibrium adsorption capacity of BHPN@MIPs still retained 91.14%.By evaluating the selective adsorption of d A in spiked human serum solutions,BHPN@MIPs can be used to selectively enrich and analyze target d A in complex biological samples.

LOCALIZED MOLECULAR ORBITAL STUDY ON ELECTRONIC STRUCTURES OF BOWL-SHAPED AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS

The localized molecular orbitals for typical bowl-shaped circulenes are obtained by the use of INDO-LMO method. It is found that these bowl-shaped circulenes with strained π-electron systems are still aromatic and the rim π-bonds with larger localization form reactive regions for formation of buckminsterfullerene.

A novel hanging bowl-shaped mask for the fabrication of vertical sidewall structures

Contact exposure is expected to occur in conventional lithography, and can be a source of process deviations （such as shrinking and distortion of templates） during reactive ion etching and inductively coupled plasma etching, as these deviations are induced by ion bombardment. This typically results in undesired sidewall effects, such as lower sidewall angles. Here we report a novel hanging bowlshaped lithography mask that can effectively minimize sidewall effects in lithography applications. As a test case, standard silicon carbide pillars with vertical sidewalls are fabricated using this mask. The mask could be used for fabrication of high-aspect-ratio structures with ultra-violet lithography.

Synergistic antibacterial photocatalytic and photothermal properties over bowl-shaped TiO_(2)nanostructures on Ti-19Zr-10Nb-1Fe alloy

As implant substitutes are increasingly applied to the clinic,the infection caused by implants has become one of the most common complications,and the modification of the antibacterial function of the implant can reduce such complications.In this work,a well-defined bowl-shaped nanostructure coating with photocatalytic and photothermal synergistic antibacterial properties was prepared on Ti-19Zr-10Nb-1Fe(TZNF)alloy.The coating is obtained by spin-coating and sintering TiO_(2)precursors templated from self-assembled microspheres of polystyrenepoly(4-vinylpyridine)(PS-P4VP)amphiphilic block polymer on TZNF alloy.PS-P4VP provides the bowl-shaped TiO_(2)nanostructures doped with C,N elements,reducing the band-gap of TiO_(2),which can absorb near-infrared(NIR)light to release reactive oxygen species and produce photothermal conversion.The bowl structure is expected to enhance the utilization of light via the reflection in the confined space.The bowl-shaped surface has 100%antibacterial rates after 30 min of NIR light irradiation.In addition to antibacterial properties,the bowl-shaped surface has better hydrophilicity and protein adsorption capacity.The amount of protein adsorbed on TZNF with the bowl-shaped structures was six times that of TZNF.Hence,the bowl-shaped nanostructure can promote the proliferation and adhesion of osteoblasts,the cell proliferation rate was increased by 10–30%.

BOWL-SHAPED POLY(3,4-ETHYLENEDIOXYTHIOPHENE)/γ-Fe_2O_3 COMPOSITES WITH ELECROMAGNETIC FUNCTION

In this paper, electromagnetic poly（3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene）/γ-Fe2O3 （PEDOT/γ-Fe2O3 ） micro-bowls, 1-2 gm in diameter, were prepared by a simple environment-friendly process. In this method, the aqueous solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide （CTAB） instead of any organic solvent was used. FeC13 acted as a source of FeIII for the formation of γ-Fe2O3 and as an oxidant for the polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene （EDOT）. The bowl-shaped morphology of PEDOT/γ-Fe2O3 composites was strongly influenced by the concentration of CTAB, FeCl2, ammonia solution and the reaction temperature. The saturation magnetization of PEDOT/γ-Fe2O3 micro-bowls increased with the increase of FeC12 concentration and reached 6.20 AmE/kg at the FeCl2 concentration of 0.30 mol/L. The conductivity of the PEDOT/γ-Fe2O3 composites was in the range of 101 S/cm. The electrical and magnetic sources of PEDOT/γ-Fe2O3 micro-bowls were confirmed by SEM-EDX, TEM, XRD and XPS spectra. And the possible formation mechanism of PEDOT//7：Fe203 was proposed.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ACTIVE LAYERS ON FILDES PENINSULA OF KING GEORGE ISLAND, ANTARCTICA

From the data of the pitting, geoelectrical prospecting, temperature measurement, salt content analysis and detection by layering frost-heaving instruments, the authors discuss firstly the structural features of sediments in the active layers in this region, and proves the presence of the bowl-shaped frost table in the stone-circles area, and then analyse the regulatities of temperature distribution in the active layer, effect of salt content on electric resistivity, thaw-settlement and frost-heaving, and their control on periglacial land-form development. It suggests that the five layers should exist in the subsurface structure , namely, active layer, frost sand and gravel layer, frost volcanic rock permeated by sea water, frost volcanic rock unperme-ated by sea water, and unfrost ancient continental basement. Finally, the permafrost table and its vertical gradient are deduced.

Activation-induce d bowl-shape d nitrogen and oxygen dual-doped carbon material and its excellent supercapacitance

Porous heteroatom-doped carbon materials exhibit promising electrochemical applications because of tunable porous structure and doping heteroatom-induced charge redistribution.Nevertheless,it is still a great challenge to develop porous heteroatom-doped carbon materials with both high-content active heteroatom species and facilitated diffusion route.Herein,we report a bowl-shaped nitrogen and oxygen dual-doping carbon(N,O-doped carbon)material based on low-temperature defluorination pyrolysis and alkali-etched activation of 3-fluorophenol-3-amino-4-hydroxypyridine-formaldehyde co-condensed resin and its excellent supercapacitance.This low-temperature thermal treatment strategy ensures high-content pyrrolic nitrogen(4.6 at.%)and oxygen species(15.9 at.%)to avoid high-temperature treatment-induced heteroatom loss and undesired configuration conversion.In these processes,the defluorination pyrolysis promotes the transformation from the resin to carbon material to some extent,and KOH activation also promotes the ordered arrangement of 002 planes,which together assure the appropriate conductivity of the final microporous carbon material.More importantly,KOH-etched activation partially removes an un-stable nano/microscale domain of the intermediate carbon microspheres to form a unique bowl-shaped structure extremely facilitating the diffusion of the substitutes and/or electrolyte ions.As expected,N,O-doped carbon material displays a remarkable specific capacitance of 486.4 F g^(−1)at 1 A g^(−1)with nitro-gen/oxygen species-dependant pseudocapacitance and good electrochemical durability.

Strong metal-support interaction between AuPd nanoparticles and oxygen-rich defect ZrO_(2) for enhanced catalytic 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation

The unique properties of metal oxide surfaces,crystal surfaces and defects play vital roles in biomass upgrading reactions.In this work,hierarchical porous bowl-shaped ZrO_(2)(HB-ZrO_(2))with mixed crystal phase was designed and employed as the support for loading AuPd bimetal with different proportions to synthesize AuPd/HB-ZrO_(2) catalysts.The effects of surface chemistry,oxygen defects,bimetal interaction and metal-support interaction of AuPd/HB-ZrO_(2) on catalytic performance for the selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA)were systematically investigated.The Au 2 Pd1/HB-ZrO_(2) catalyst afforded a satisfactory FDCA yield of 99.9%from HMF oxidation using O_(2) as the oxidant in water,accompanied with an excellent FDCA productivity at 97.6 mmol g^(−1) h^(−1).This work offers fresh insights into rationally designing efficient catalysts with oxygen-rich defects for the catalytic upgrading of biomass platform chemicals.
