After it had been treated by silane-coupling agents KH570, magnetic micro-spheres dispersed in organic medium glycol were gained and the mean size of Fe3O4 nanopowders was 33.7 nm. So it can be concluded that magnetic micro-sphere is made of a few Fe3O4 crystals. Many factors of modification were researched, such as the time of ball milling, the content of Fe3O4 and the content of KH570. The modification of Fe3O4 is relative to the time of ball milling, but the dominant function is affected by the content of Fe3O4 and KH570. When the content of Fe3O4 is known, there is a suitable content of KH570. Different content of Fe3O4 will make the different suitable content of KH570, but the range of latter is less than former, which is relative to the distribution of KH570 on Fe3O4 surface or in the solution.展开更多

The modified and unmodified nanoparticles were characterized by FT-IR, XPS and TEM. The spectra of FT-IR and XPS revealed that KH570 was coated onto the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles to get Fe-O- Si bond and an organic coating layer also was formed. Fe3O4 nanoparticles were spheres partly with mean size of 18,8 nm studied by TEM, which was consistent with the result 17.9 nm calculated by Scherrer＇s equation. KH570 was adsorbed on surface and formed chemistry bond to be steric hindrance repulsion which prevented nanoparticles from reuniting. Then glycol-based Fe3O4 magnetic liquids dispersed stably was gained.展开更多

The results indicate that the morphology of the primary Mg_2Si phase apparently changes from coarse dendrites to fine dispersive polygonal particles and the mean size decreases from 276.6 μm to 7.1 μm, with combined modification of 0.8wt.% Yb and 2.64 wt.% Na_3PO_4. Such a morphological evolution results in improvement in the ultimate tensile strength and elongation of the alloys as compared to the base alloy. This may be attributed to the formation of the YbP particles that acted as the heterogeneous nucleation substrates for the primary Mg_2Si particles, resulting in a refined distribution of these precipitates. The results of XRD examination show that there was no reaction between Si and Yb or Na_3PO_4. Solo addition of Yb or Na_3PO_4 into the melt has no real modification effect on the microstructure, but the primary Mg_2Si particles and α-Mg phases become coarser than that in the unmodified alloy.展开更多

Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were modified by L-dopa or dopamine using sonication method. The analysis of FTIR clearly indicated the formation of Fe-O-C bond. Direct immobilization of trypsin （EC： 3.4.21.4） on Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with L-dopa and dopamine spacer was investigated using glutaraldehyde as a coupling agent. No significant changes in the size and magnetic property of the three kinds of magnetic nanoparticles linked with or without trypsin were observed. The existence of the spacer molecule on magnetic nanoparticles could greatly improve the activity and the storage stability of bound trypsin through increasing the flexibility of enzyme and changing the microenvironment on nanoparticles surface compared to the naked magnetic nanoparticles.展开更多

Hence, the modified LiMn2- AlxO4 is a good cathode material for lithium batteries. This can be explained that the size of the modified particle is larger than that of unmodified material, so electrons can be easily transported between the particles.展开更多

In this paper it is shown that a laser with low power and tungsten inert gas (TIG) can be combined together for surface modification of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and when performed in a controlled atmosphere of pure nitrogen or a mixture of nitrogen and argon, can produce a wear-resistant surface alloy. Compared with laser processing, a cheaper surface modification process has been developed involving a shorter processing time, which is free of stringent requirements such as a vacuum system.展开更多

Support MgO was obtained using ion exchange resin method or using commercial MgO. XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, DTA-TG and CO2-TPD were used to characterize the catalysts. CH4-CO2 reforming to synthesis gas （syngas） was performed to test the catalytic behavior of the catalysts. The catalyst Pt-CZ/MgO-IE（D） prepared using ion exchange resin exhibits more regular structure, smaller and more unique particle sizes, and stronger basicity than the catalyst Pt-CZ/MgO prepared from commercial MgO. At 1073 K and atmospheric pressure, Pt-CZ/MgO-IE（D） catalyst has a higher activity and greater stability than Pt-CZ/MgO catalyst for CH4-CO2 reforming reaction at high gas hourly space velocity of 36000 mL/（g.h） with a stoichiometric feed of CH4 and C02. Activity measurement and characterization results demonstrate that modification of the support using ion exchange resin method can promote the surface structural property and stability, therefore enhancing the activity and stability for CH4-CO2 reforming reaction.展开更多

The optimized KMnO4 solution has a concentration of 50 rag/L, and ITO is treated for 15 min. The modification of ITO anode results in an enhancement of the power conversion efficiency （PCE） of the device, which is responsible for the increase of the photocurrent. The performance enhancement is attributed to the work function modification of the ITO substrate through the strong oxygenation of KMnO4, and then the charge collection efficiency is improved.展开更多

The results show that the addition of Pr changes the structure of oxide scale of Ti-6Al-4V,controls the short-range diffusion of oxygen to the scale/substrate interface and increases the adhe- sion and ductility of the scale,thus changing the oxidation kinetics and considerably reducing oxidation rate.The analysis of fretting test shows that the existence of high hardness layer in the al- loyed zone,fine dendrites perpendicular to the sur- face of the high hardness layer and the oxide scale produced during fretting at elevated temperatures are all beneficial to the improvement of wear resist- ance.展开更多

However,...Regulation of optical properties and electronic structure of graphitic carbon nitride （g-C3N4 ） via external strain has attracted much attention due to its potential in photocatalyst and electronic devices. However, the identifi- cation of g-C3N4 structure transformation induced by strain is greatly lacking. In this work, the Raman spectra of g-C3N4 with external strain are determined theoretically based on the density function theory. Deformation induced by external strain not only regulates the Raman mode positions but also leads to a I^aman mode split- ting, which can be ascribed to crystal symmetry destruction by strain engineering. Our results suggest the use of Raman scattering in structural identification in deformed 9-C3N4 structure.展开更多

In this paper it is shown that a laser with low power and tungsten inert gas (TIG) can be combined together for surface modification of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and when performed in a controlled atmosphere of pure nitrogen or a mixture of nitrogen and argon, can produce a wear-resistant surface alloy. Compared with laser processing, a cheaper surface modification process has been developed involving a shorter processing time, which is free of stringent requirements such as a vacuum system.

文摘Pt-CeO2-ZrO2/MgO （Pt-CZ/MgO） catalysts with 0.8 wt% Pt, 3.0 wt% CeO2 and 3.0 wt% ZrO2 were prepared by wet impregnation method. Support MgO was obtained using ion exchange resin method or using commercial MgO. XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, DTA-TG and CO2-TPD were used to characterize the catalysts. CH4-CO2 reforming to synthesis gas （syngas） was performed to test the catalytic behavior of the catalysts. The catalyst Pt-CZ/MgO-IE（D） prepared using ion exchange resin exhibits more regular structure, smaller and more unique particle sizes, and stronger basicity than the catalyst Pt-CZ/MgO prepared from commercial MgO. At 1073 K and atmospheric pressure, Pt-CZ/MgO-IE（D） catalyst has a higher activity and greater stability than Pt-CZ/MgO catalyst for CH4-CO2 reforming reaction at high gas hourly space velocity of 36000 mL/（g.h） with a stoichiometric feed of CH4 and C02. Activity measurement and characterization results demonstrate that modification of the support using ion exchange resin method can promote the surface structural property and stability, therefore enhancing the activity and stability for CH4-CO2 reforming reaction.

文摘Modification conditions determine the surface topography and the active material phase composition of a catalyst.To study the influence of modification on a carbon-based sorbent,coconut husk activated carbon(AC)which was activated using HNO3 and modified by FeSO4 and Fe(NO3)3 was examined.The pore textures and surface chemical characteristics of the carbon materials were examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),Brunner-Emmet-Teller(BET),X-ray diffraction(XRD)and Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy.The surface topography,the pore structure,active materials,and functional groups of AC,AC modificated by HNO3(HNO3/AC for short),and AC modificated by FeSO4 and Fe(NO3)3(Fe/AC for short)were systematically studied.Subsequently,the mechanism of modifying the conditions for the carbon materials was determined.Results showed that the surface micro topography of HNO3/AC became unsystematic and disordered.After modification with FeSO4,the ferriferous oxide was mainly present as a near-spherical crystal.Ferriferous oxides from Fe(NO3)3 modification mainly exhibited a plate shape.HNO3 modification could enlarge the pores but decrease the specific surface area of AC.FeSO4 modification resulted in a new net post structure in the pore canal of AC.Fe(NO3)3 modification caused the pore space structure to develop in the interior,and a higher calcination temperature was useful for ablation.The ash content of the AC was substantially reduced upon HNO3 modification.Upon FeSO4 modification,α-FeOOH,α-Fe2O3 andγ-Fe2O3 coexisted under the condition of a lower concentration of FeSO4 and a lower calcination temperature,and a higher FeSO4 concentration and calcination temperature generated moreα-Fe2O3.The same Fe(NO3)3 modification and a higher calcination temperature were beneficial to the minor chipping formation ofγ-Fe2O3.A higher Fe(NO3)3 loading produced a lower graphitization degree.HNO3 modification formed various new oxygen-containing functional groups and few nitrogen-containing groups.Based on the cover,FeSO4 and Fe(NO3)3 modification could decrease the oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing functional groups.These results could optimize the modification condition and improve physical and chemical properties of carbon-based sorbents.

文摘A novel lysozyme named β-1, 4-N, 6-O-diacetylmuramidase R2 was purified and characterized from Streptomyces griseus. The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined by MALDI-TOF-MS as 23.5 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence was DTSGVQGIDVSHWQG. Chemical modification of β-1, 4-N, 6-O-diacetylmuramidase R2 indicated that sulfhydryl group and carbamidine of arginine residues are not essential for the activity of the enzyme, but lysine residues and imidazole of histidine residues are essential for the activity. The number of essential tryptophan and carboxyl groups was found that only one tryptophan residue and three carboxyl groups in the active site.

文摘The properties of poly（3-hexylthiophene）：（6,6）-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester （P3HT：PCBM） organic pho- tovoltaic devices （OPVs） with an indium tin oxide （ITO） anode treated by a KMnO4 solution are investigated. The optimized KMnO4 solution has a concentration of 50 rag/L, and ITO is treated for 15 min. The modification of ITO anode results in an enhancement of the power conversion efficiency （PCE） of the device, which is responsible for the increase of the photocurrent. The performance enhancement is attributed to the work function modification of the ITO substrate through the strong oxygenation of KMnO4, and then the charge collection efficiency is improved.

文摘The behaviour of oxidation at elevated tem- peratures and fretting in the laser-alloyed layer of Ti-6Al-4V with the addition of Pr was studied. The results show that the addition of Pr changes the structure of oxide scale of Ti-6Al-4V,controls the short-range diffusion of oxygen to the scale/substrate interface and increases the adhe- sion and ductility of the scale,thus changing the oxidation kinetics and considerably reducing oxidation rate.The analysis of fretting test shows that the existence of high hardness layer in the al- loyed zone,fine dendrites perpendicular to the sur- face of the high hardness layer and the oxide scale produced during fretting at elevated temperatures are all beneficial to the improvement of wear resist- ance.

文摘Regulation of optical properties and electronic structure of graphitic carbon nitride （g-C3N4 ） via external strain has attracted much attention due to its potential in photocatalyst and electronic devices. However, the identifi- cation of g-C3N4 structure transformation induced by strain is greatly lacking. In this work, the Raman spectra of g-C3N4 with external strain are determined theoretically based on the density function theory. Deformation induced by external strain not only regulates the Raman mode positions but also leads to a I^aman mode split- ting, which can be ascribed to crystal symmetry destruction by strain engineering. Our results suggest the use of Raman scattering in structural identification in deformed 9-C3N4 structure.
