While several methods have been developed for the synthesis of such compounds, some of the reported methods utilize corrosive or toxic catalysts. We report a bismuth (III) triflate catalyzed multicomponent synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles. Bismuth (III) compounds are attractive from a green chemistry perspective because they are remarkably non-toxic and non-corrosive. Multicomponent syntheses save time and generate less waste.展开更多

The as-prepared BLOC1 was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). The effects of preparation conditions such as sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) dispersant, HC1 concentration, and heat treatment temperature on BiOC1 performances were investigated. Moreover, its photocatalytic activity was evaluated on the degradation of methylene orange (MO) and was compared with that of TiO2 (P25). The experimental results confirmed that BiOC1 micro-nano particles prepared with SDBS, the HC1 concentration of 1.5 mol/L, and the heat treatment temperature of 80℃ exhibited the best performance for the photodegradation of MO solution, and they showed good stability and better photocatalytic activity than P25 photocatalyst.展开更多

We prepared a series of samples with nominal composition of Bi2-xPbxSr2Ca2Cu3Oy (0.1&lex&le2). The zero resistance transition temperature Tc of 106K and the critical transport current density Jc of 1 × 103A/cm2 at 77K have been obtained for the samples of Bi2-xPbxSr2Ca2Cu3Oy (x=0.2 and 0.3). The X-ray diffraction analysis and measurement of AC magnetic susceptibility confirmed that the material is comprised of single high-Tc phase. We also report the magnetic properties of this material as well as the results of TEM observation.展开更多

The effect of the vacuum on the growth of Bi2Te3 single crystals was studied with varying the oxygen content by controlling the air pressure in the silica tube. High quality Bi2Te3 single crystals have been obtained and there is no influence on the growth by an extremely small amount of oxygen in a high vacuum at 1.0 × 10^-3Pa. As the air pressure is increased at 1.0 × 10^-2Pa, oxygen only mainly impacts on the growth of the surface for the prepared samples. Micron-sized rod-like structure and flower-like clusters are observed on the surface. For the samples prepared at 1.0 × 10^-1Pa, x-ray diffraction data show that the yellow part on the surface is Bi2TeO5, while the Bi2Te3 single crystal is still the major phase as the inside part. More interestingly, various crystal morphologies are observed by scanning electron microscope for Bi2Te3 near the boundary between Bi2Te3 and Bi2TeO5.Possible growth mechanisms for Bi2Te3 with different morphologies are discussed in detail.展开更多

Its 2.7-μm emission property is analyzed, and the efficient 2.7-μm emission from the glass is observed under 980-nm laser diode excitation. The prepared glass possesses high spontaneous transition probability (64.8 s^-1) and a large calculated emission cross section (6.61× 10^-21 cm^2) corresponding to the ^4Ⅰ11/2 →4Ⅰ13/2 transition. The multiphonon relaxation rate for the excited state 4Ⅰ11/2 is only 236 s^-1. Therefore, the excellent spectroscopic properties and outstanding thermal stability suggest that this glass is a suitable host for developing solid-state lasers operating in the mid-infrared.展开更多

It is found that the optical property of BiOx films is sensitive to O2/Ar ratios and the films deposited at O2/Ar ratio of 0.5 have the best reflectivity contrast under the same conditions. The structure and optical characteristics of the films are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and spectrophotometer. As revealed by investigations, the phase transition is mainly responsible for the change of optical properties. The static test results indicate that the BiO~ films have good writing sensitivity for blue laser beams. A high reflectivity contrast of about 52% at a writing power of 11 mW and writing pulse width of 800 ns is obtained. In addition, the films demonstrate good stability after being read for 10000 times.展开更多
