ThePourbaix diagrams show that the main Si, Fe and Mn oxides species precipitating from the hydrothermal fluid were SiO2, Fe(OH)3, Fe3(OH)8, Mn3O4, and Mn2O3at 25℃. During mixing of hydrothermal fluid with seawater, SiO2 precipitated earlier than Fe-Mn-oxyhydroxides because of the lower stability boundary. Then Fe(OH)2 precipitated first, followed by Fe3(OH)8 and Fe(OH)3, and last, small amounts of Mn3O4 and Mn2O3 precipitated. Fe(OH)3was readily de-posited in alkaline solution with little influence by Eh. There were many Si-Fe-Mn-concentric particles in the polished sections of the massive precipitates collected from PACMANUS. In the concentric nucleus and ellipsoid, Si oxides precipitated first before the hydrothermal fluid had mixed with seawater. In the concen-tric nucleus, after the precipitation of Si oxides, the increase of pH and Eh promoted the precipitation of Mn oxides around the Si oxides. In the large ellipsoid, the precipitation of Fe was divided into two periods. In the early period, increase of pH value of hydrothermal fluid produced by low-temperature convection and an input of a small volume of seawater promoted a small amount of Fe(OH)3 to precipitate in the Si-rich core. In the late period, after complete mixing with seawater and the resultant fluid was close to neutral or slightly alkaline in pH, Fe(OH)3was easily precipitated from the solution and distributed around the Si-rich core.展开更多

The content of Sr in the samples contributed by seawater was estimated to be 76.7%-83.1% of total amount. The mixing temperature of hydrothermal fluids and seawater were ranging from 53.2℃ to 72.2℃ and the hydrothermal activities were unstable when the samples precipitated. The eNd values of all the samples are positive, which differ from the values of ferromanganese nodules (crusts) with hydrogenic origin. Nd was mainly derived from substrate rocks leached by hydrothermal circulation and preserved the hydrothermal signature. Ph isotopic compositions of most samples show minor variability except Sample #9-2 that has relatively high values of Pb isotopes. The Pb may be derived from the Eastern Manus Basin rocks leached by the hydrothermal fluid. The slightly lower 28pb/204pb and 207pb/204pb values of the samples indicated that the hydrothermal circulation in PACMANUS was not entire and sufficient, or that hydrothermal circulation had transient changes in the past. Si-Fe-Mn-oxyhydroxides in the samples preserved the heterogeneities of local rocks.展开更多

The as-deposited and annealed thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM) and linear sweep voltammetry(LSV) to determine their structural, morphological, compositional and electrochemical properties, respectively. The as-deposited nanostructured amorphous Fe OOH thin film is converted into a polycrystalline Fe;O;with hematite crystal structure at a high temperature. The Fe OOH thin film acts as an efficient electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER) in an alkaline 1 M KOH electrolyte. The film annealed at 200 °C shows high catalytic activity with an onset overpotential of 240 m V with a smaller Tafel slope of 48 m V/dec. Additionally, it needs an overpotential of 290 mV to the drive the current density of 10 m A/cm;and shows good stability in the 1 M KOH electrolyte solution.展开更多

Equilibrium Si isotope fractionation factors among orthosilicic acid(i.e.,H4 Si O4(aq)), quartz and the adsorption complexes of H4 Si O4(aq)on Fe(III)-oxyhydroxide surface were calculated using the full-electron wave-...Equilibrium Si isotope fractionation factors among orthosilicic acid(i.e.,H4 Si O4(aq)), quartz and the adsorption complexes of H4 Si O4(aq)on Fe(III)-oxyhydroxide surface were calculated using the full-electron wave-function quantum chemistry methods [i.e., B3LYP/6-311G(2df,p)]with a new cluster-model-based treatment. Solvation effects were carefully included in our calculations via water-droplet method combined with implicit solvent models(e.g., PCM).The results revealed that, if it is under equilibrium conditions,heavy Si isotopes would be significantly enriched in quartz in comparison to H4 Si O4(aq). However, most of the field observations suggested that quartz would have identical or even depleted d30 Si values compared to that of H4 Si O4(aq). To explain this discrepancy between the equilibrium calculation results and the field observations, the kinetic isotope effect(KIE) associated with the formation of amorphous silica,which usually is the precursor of crystalline quartz, was investigated using quantum chemistry methods. The KIE results showed that amorphous silica would be significantly enriched in light Si isotopes during its formation. Our equilibrium fractionation results, however, matched a special type of quartz(i.e., Herkimer ‘‘diamond'') very well, due to its nearly equilibrated precipitation condition. Opposite to the case of precipitated quartz, a large equilibrium Si isotope fractionation(i.e.,-3.0 %) was found between the absorbed bidentate Si surface complexes(i.e.,2C [ Fe2O2Si(OH)2) and H4 Si O4(aq). This calculated equilibrium Si isotope fractionation factor largely differed from a previous experimental result(ca.-1.08 %). We found that the formation of transient or temporary surface complexes [e.g.,1V [ Fe2OSi(OH)3] may have accounted for the smaller net fractionation observed.With the equilibrium and kinetic Si isotope fractionation factors provided here, the distributions and changes of Si isotope compositions in the Earth's surface systems can be better understood.展开更多

METHODS Fifteen stable hemodialysis patients were switched from LanC to SFOH. Only nine continued on SFOH, three returned to LanC and the other three switched to sevelamer carbonate. The later six patients served as a control group to the SFOH group of nine patients. Blood was sampled on the 3-d and the last 2-d interval of the week prior to switching and six weeks after. Bicarbonate levels(HCO_3^-), pH, pO_2, pCO_2 were measured, and the mean of the two measurements(3-d and 2-d interval) was calculated. RESULTS Comparing pre-switching to post-switching measurementsin the SFOH group, no statistically significant differences were found in any of the parameters studied. The mean pre-switching HCO_3^-was 22.41 ± 1.66 mmol/L and the mean post-switching was 22.62 ± 2.25 mmol/L(P = 0.889). Respectively, the mean pH= 7.38 ± 0.03 vs 7.39 ± 0.03(P = 0.635), mean pCO_2= 38.41 ± 3.29 vs 38.37 ± 3.62 mmHg(P = 0.767), and Phosphate = 1.57 ± 0.27 vs 1.36 ± 0.38 mmol/L(P = 0.214). There were not any significant differences when we performed the same analyses in the control group or between the SFOH group and control group. No correlations were found, either between pre-switching LanC daily dose or between postswitching daily dose of the new binder and the measured parameters.CONCLUSION In our small study, switching from LanC to SFOH did not have any significant effect on blood bicarbonate levels and gas analysis, indicating that there is no need to change hemodialysis prescription regarding these parameters.展开更多

文摘Developing high-performing oxygen evolution reaction(OER)electrocatalysts under high-current operation conditions is critical for future commercial applications of alkaline water electrolysis for clean energy generation.Herein,we prepared a three-dimensional(3D)bimetallic oxyhydroxide hybrid grown on a Ni foam(NiFeOOH/NF)prepared by immersing Ni foam(NF)into Fe(NO_(3))_(3) solution.In this unique 3D structure,the NiFeOOH/NF hybrid was composed of crystalline Ni(OH)_(2) and amorphous FeOOH evenly grown on the NF surface.As a bimetallic oxyhydroxide electrocatalyst,the NiFeOOH/NF hybrid exhibited excellent catalytic activity,surpassing not only the other reported Ni–Fe based electrocatalysts,but also the commercial Ir/C catalyst.In situ electrochemical Raman spectroscopy demonstrated the active FeOOH and NiOOH phases involved in the OER process.Profiting from the synergy of Fe and Ni catalytic sites,the NiFeOOH/NF hybrid delivered an outstanding OER performance under challenging industrial conditions in a 10.0 mol·L^(-1) KOH electrolyte at 80℃,requiring potentials as small as 1.47 and 1.51 V to achieve the super-high catalytic current densities of 100 and 500mA∙cm^(-2),respectively.

文摘Equilibrium Si isotope fractionation factors among orthosilicic acid(i.e.,H4 Si O4(aq)), quartz and the adsorption complexes of H4 Si O4(aq)on Fe(III)-oxyhydroxide surface were calculated using the full-electron wave-function quantum chemistry methods [i.e., B3LYP/6-311G(2df,p)]with a new cluster-model-based treatment. Solvation effects were carefully included in our calculations via water-droplet method combined with implicit solvent models(e.g., PCM).The results revealed that, if it is under equilibrium conditions,heavy Si isotopes would be significantly enriched in quartz in comparison to H4 Si O4(aq). However, most of the field observations suggested that quartz would have identical or even depleted d30 Si values compared to that of H4 Si O4(aq). To explain this discrepancy between the equilibrium calculation results and the field observations, the kinetic isotope effect(KIE) associated with the formation of amorphous silica,which usually is the precursor of crystalline quartz, was investigated using quantum chemistry methods. The KIE results showed that amorphous silica would be significantly enriched in light Si isotopes during its formation. Our equilibrium fractionation results, however, matched a special type of quartz(i.e., Herkimer ‘‘diamond'') very well, due to its nearly equilibrated precipitation condition. Opposite to the case of precipitated quartz, a large equilibrium Si isotope fractionation(i.e.,-3.0 %) was found between the absorbed bidentate Si surface complexes(i.e.,2C [ Fe2O2Si(OH)2) and H4 Si O4(aq). This calculated equilibrium Si isotope fractionation factor largely differed from a previous experimental result(ca.-1.08 %). We found that the formation of transient or temporary surface complexes [e.g.,1V [ Fe2OSi(OH)3] may have accounted for the smaller net fractionation observed.With the equilibrium and kinetic Si isotope fractionation factors provided here, the distributions and changes of Si isotope compositions in the Earth's surface systems can be better understood.

文摘Polypyrrole(PPy)@cellulose fiber-based composites have been widely investigated as electrode materials for use in flexible supercapacitors.However,they cannot readily provide high specific capacitance and cyclic stability owing to their inherent drawbacks,such as high resistance,Weber impedance,and volume expansion or collapse during charging/discharging.In this study,iron oxyhydroxide(FeOOH)is incorporated in the abovementioned composite to decrease the equivalent series resistance,charge transfer resistance,and Weber impedance,thereby enhancing electron transfer and ion diffusion,which results in superior electrochemical performance.The PPy-wrapped FeOOH@cellulose fiber-based composite electrode with the molar ratio of FeSO_(4) to NaBH4 of 1∶1 exhibits a high specific capacitance of 513.8 F/g at a current density of 0.2 A/g,as well as an excellent capacitance retention of 89.4% after 1000 cycles.
文摘AIM To examine possible alterations in acid-base parameters in patients switching from lanthanum carbonate(LanC) to sucroferric oxyhydroxide(SFOH). METHODS Fifteen stable hemodialysis patients were switched from LanC to SFOH. Only nine continued on SFOH, three returned to LanC and the other three switched to sevelamer carbonate. The later six patients served as a control group to the SFOH group of nine patients. Blood was sampled on the 3-d and the last 2-d interval of the week prior to switching and six weeks after. Bicarbonate levels(HCO_3^-), pH, pO_2, pCO_2 were measured, and the mean of the two measurements(3-d and 2-d interval) was calculated. RESULTS Comparing pre-switching to post-switching measurementsin the SFOH group, no statistically significant differences were found in any of the parameters studied. The mean pre-switching HCO_3^-was 22.41 ± 1.66 mmol/L and the mean post-switching was 22.62 ± 2.25 mmol/L(P = 0.889). Respectively, the mean pH= 7.38 ± 0.03 vs 7.39 ± 0.03(P = 0.635), mean pCO_2= 38.41 ± 3.29 vs 38.37 ± 3.62 mmHg(P = 0.767), and Phosphate = 1.57 ± 0.27 vs 1.36 ± 0.38 mmol/L(P = 0.214). There were not any significant differences when we performed the same analyses in the control group or between the SFOH group and control group. No correlations were found, either between pre-switching LanC daily dose or between postswitching daily dose of the new binder and the measured parameters.CONCLUSION In our small study, switching from LanC to SFOH did not have any significant effect on blood bicarbonate levels and gas analysis, indicating that there is no need to change hemodialysis prescription regarding these parameters.
文摘Rational design of low‐cost and efficient electrocatalysts for ethanol oxidation reaction(EOR)is imperative for electrocatalytic ethanol fuel cells.In this work,we developed a copper‐doped nickel oxyhydroxide(Cu‐doped NiOOH)catalyst via in situ electrochemical reconstruction of a NiCu alloy.The introduction of Cu dopants increases the specific surface area and more defect sites,as well as forms high‐valence Ni sites.The Cu‐doped NiOOH electrocatalyst exhibited an excellent EOR performance with a peak current density of 227 mA·cm^(–2)at 1.72 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode,high Faradic efficiencies for acetate production(>98%),and excellent electrochemical stability.Our work suggests an attractive route of designing non‐noble metal based electrocatalysts for ethanol oxidation.

文摘First-row(3 d)transition metal oxyhydroxides have attracted increasing attention due to their various advantages.Although investigating the oxidation mechanism and processing such materials into hierarchical architectures are greatly desired for their further development,it remains unclear how the oxidation state change occurs,and efforts to produce hierarchical oxyhydroxides in compliance with high ecological and economic standards have progressed slowly.Here,we describe a facile one-step coprecipitation route for the preparation of hierarchical CoOOH,NiOOH and MnOOH,which involves the diffusion of NH_(3)originating from ammonium hydroxide solution into an aqueous solution containing metal ion salts and K_(2)S_(2)O_(8).Comprehensive characterizations by scanning electron microscope,transmission electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction analysis,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and in situ p H measurement demonstrated that K_(2)S_(2)O_(8)induces the oxidation state change of metal ion species after the start of hydrolysis.Meanwhile,it was found that,benefiting from the OH–concentration gradient created by the NH_(3)diffusion method and the suitable growth environment provided by the presence of K_(2)S_(2)O_(8)(high nucleation rate and secondary nucleation),the formation of hierarchical oxyhydroxide structures can be realized in aqueous solution at ambient temperature without the use of heat energy and additional structure-directing agents.The hierarchical CoOOH structures are performed as the electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media,which exhibit good activity with an overpotential of 320 m V at 10 m A cm^(-2)and a low Tafel slope of 59.6 m V dec^(–1),outperforming many congeneric electrocatalysts.Overall,our study not only provides important insights to understand the formation mechanism of hierarchical oxyhydroxides,but also opens up new opportunities for the preparation of hierarchical oxyhydroxides via a facile,green and low-cost method.

文摘The development of highly efficient and cost-effective electrode materials for catalyzing the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is crucial for water splitting technology.The increase in the number of active sites by tuning the morphology and structure and the enhancement of the reactivity of active sites by the incorporation of other components are the two main strategies for the enhancement of their catalytic performance.In this study,by combining these two strategies,a unique three-dimensional nanoporous Fe-Co oxyhydroxide layer coated on the carbon cloth(3D-FeCoOOH/CC)was successfully synthesized by in situ electro-oxidation methods,and directly used as a working electrode.The electrode,3D-FeCoOOH/CC,was obtained by the Fe doping process in(NH4)2Fe(SO4)2,followed by continuous in situ electro-oxidization in alkaline medium of“micro go chess piece”arrays on the carbon cloth(MCPAs/CC).Micro characterizations illustrated that the go pieces of MCPAs/CC were completely converted into a thin conformal coating on the carbon cloth fibers.The electrochemical test results showed that the as-synthesized 3D-FeCoOOH/CC exhibited enhanced activity for OER with a low overpotential of 259 mV,at a current density of 10 mA cm^–2,and a small Tafel slope of 34.9 mV dec^–1,as well as superior stability in 1.0 mol L^–1 KOH solution.The extensive analysis revealed that the improved electrochemical surface area,conductivity,Fe-Co bimetallic composition,and the unique 3D porous structure together contributed to the enhanced OER activity of 3D-FeCoOOH/CC.Furthermore,the synthetic strategy applied in this study could be extended to fabricate a series of Co-based electrode materials with the dopant of other transition elements.
