Visible light induced photodegradation of organic pollutants on nitrogen and fluorine co-doped TiO_2 photocatalyst

The nitrogen and fluorine co doped TiO 2 polycrystalline powder was synthesized by calcinations of the hydrolysis product of tetra butyl titanate with ammonium fluoride. Nitrogen and fluorine co doping causes the absorption edge of TiO 2 to shift to a lower energy region. The photocatalytic activity of co doped TiO 2 with anatase phases was found to be 2 4 times higher than that of the commercial TiO 2 photocatalyst Degussa P25 for phenol decomposition under visible light irradiation. The co doped TiO 2 powders only contain anatase phases even at 1000℃. Apparently, ammonium fluoride added retarded phase transformation of the TiO 2 powders from anatase to rutile. The substitutional fluorine and interstitial nitrogen atoms in co doped TiO 2 polycrystalline powder were responsible for the vis light response and caused the absorption edge of TiO 2 to shift to a lower energy region.

Orthogonal tests of copper-clad aluminum bimetal continuous casting by nitrogen pressure core-illing

To provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for preparing composite rods by direct continuous casting, copper-clad aluminum composite rods of external copper layer diameter 12 mm and inner aluminum core diameter 8 mm were manufactured. Orthogonal tests consisted of three factors and three levels were carried out to research the effects of melting copper temperature, continuous casting speed and nitrogen pressure on the performance of composite rods. Results showed that nitrogen pressure is the most important factor in influencing the surface quality; continuous casting speed is the most important factor in influencing copper & aluminum inter diffusion amount. Nitrogen pressure can noticeably improve the surface quality and make the rods easily be drawn out, but the surface quality does not show visible improvement when the nitrogen pressure is above 0.05 MPa. Measured by tests, the compound layer can be divided into three types according to its cladding layer degree: deficient cladding, normal cladding and excess cladding. The diameter of normal copper-clad aluminum composite rods can be successfully drawn less than 0.6 mm without annealing.

Preparation of nitrogen and sulfur co-doped ultrathin graphitic carbon via annealing bagasse lignin as potential electrocatalyst towards oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline and acid media

Renewable lignin used for synthesizing materials has been proven to be highly potential in specific electrochemistry.Here,we report a simple method to synthesize nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon nanosheets by using bagasse lignin,denoted as lignin-derived carbon(LC).By adjusting the ratio of nitrogen source and annealing temperature,we obtained the ultrathin graphitic lignin carbon(LC-4-1000)with abundant wrinkles with high surface area of 1208 m2g_1 and large pore volume of 1.40 cm3g_1.In alkaline medium,LC-4-1000 has more positive half-wave potential and nearly current density compared to commercial Pt/C for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).More importantly,LC-4-1000 also exhibits comparable activity and superior stability for ORR in acid medium due to its high graphitic N ratio and a direct four electron pathway for ORR.This study develops a cost-effective and highly efficient method to prepare biocarbon catalyst for ORR in fuel cells.

Nitrogen and Sulfur Co-doped Porous Carbon Derived from ZIF-8 as Oxygen Reduction Reaction Catalyst for Microbial Fuel Cells

Development of efficient and promising bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction and evolutionreactions is desirable. Herein, cobalt nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbonnanotubes(Co@NSCNT) were prepared by a facile pyrolytic treatment. The cobalt nanoparticles and co-doping of nitrogen and sulfur can improve the electron donor-acceptor characteristics of the carbon nan-otubes and provide more active sites for catalytic oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. The preparedCo@NSCNT, annealed at 900℃, showed excellent electrocatalytic performance and better durability thancommercial platinum catalysts. Additionally, Co@NSCNT-900 catalysts exhibited comparable onset poten-tials and Tafel slopes to ruthenium oxide. Overall, Co@NSCNT showed high activity and improved dura-bility for both oxygen evolution and reduction reactions.

Nitrogen Injection in Molten Aluminum in a Tank Degasser

The injection of nitrogen in molten aluminum through a static impeller in a tank degassing unit is studied. Using basic principles of fluid mechanics, it is analyzed the influence of the nozzle diameter on the bubble diameter and the mean residence time of the bubbles in the molten aluminum. By means of transient isothermal 2D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, the influence of the nitrogen volumetric flow rate on the phase distributions and the tank degasser dynamics is studied. Finally, an adiabatic CFD simulation is carried out in order to elucidate the changes in the molten aluminum temperature due to the injection of nitrogen at ambient temperature. This simulation shows that molten aluminum does not suffer drastic temperature reductions given that, in spite?that?the nitrogen is fed at ambient temperature, the mass of nitrogen is relatively small compared with the mass of aluminum.

XPS INVESTIGATION OF NITROGEN IONS IMPLANTED INTO ALUMINUM ALLOY BY PLASMA BASED ION IMPLANTATION

Aluminum alloy 2024 has been implanted with nitrogen ions at various doses by plasma based ion implantation. The introduction of energetic ions causes structural change within the near surface region of the solid. The samples have been characterized by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy at various depths. The chemical states of Al and N were identified by deconvolution of the recorded XPS spectra. After plasma based ion implanted nitrogen into aluminum, not only the AlN precipitates but also super saturated solution of nitrogen forms. The presence of aluminum in different chemical states is corresponding to Al, AlN and Al2O3. The majority of nitrogen is in the form of the supersaturated solution. With the increase of nitrogen dose, the amount of AlN precipitates increases.

Lanthanum and nitrogen co-doped SrTiO_3 was prepared by a mechanochemical reaction using SrTiO_3, urea and La_2O_3 as the raw materials. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm measurements. Lanthanum doping could increase the doping content of nitrogen in the sample. The sample prepared with 0.2 mol% La_2O_3, 22 mol% urea and 77.8 mol% SrTiO_3 by mechanochemical reaction, which has nearly the same nitrogen and lanthanum doping fractions, exhibited high photocatalytic activities. Under the irradiation of light with wavelength larger than 400, and 290 nm, the photocatalytic activity of nitrogen and lanthanum co-doped SrTiO_3 were 2.6 and 2 times greater than that of pure SrTiO_3.

Ab Initio Study of Aluminum-Phosphorus Co-doped Graphene

In the present work it is studied the phosphorus-aluminum co-doping effect on the electronic and structural graphene properties using ab initio calculations in the framework of DFT （density functional theory）. The doping of graphene with substituent heteroatoms can modify the band structures as well as the electron transfer, improving the electronic performance that could enhance the sensing ability in gas sensor devices. The incorporation of heteroatoms in the graphene monolayer alters the unit cell. The alteration degree depends on the dopant concentration. Furthermore, the electronic properties were modified by opening the gap up to 0.61 eV produced by the combination of phosphorus and aluminum as dopants. The dopant concentration can be controlled, which causes different degrees of semiconductor behavior on the co-doped graphene.

The results of the study of oscillograms of voltage,current,pulsed electric power and energy input into the plasma of an overstressed nanosecond discharge between aluminum electrodes in argon and mixtures of nitrogen with oxygen(100-1)at pressures in the range of 13.3-103.3 kPa are presented,the emission plasma spectra are studied.It is shown that in mixtures of nitrogen with oxygen at atmospheric pressure,nanoparticles of aluminum oxide(Al2O3)are formed,the luminescence of which manifests itself in the spectral range of 200-600 nm and which is associated with the formation of F-,F+-centers and more complex aggregate formations based on oxygen vacancies.Calculations of the electron-kinetic coefficients of plasma,transport characteristics,such as mean electron energies in the range 5.116-13.41 eV,are given.The electron concentration was 1.6∙10^(20)m^(-3)-1.1∙10^(20)m^(-3)at a current density of 5.1∙10^(6)A/m^(2)and l.02∙10^(7)A/m^(2)on the surface of the electrode of the radiation source(0.196·10^(-4)m^(2)).Also drift velocities,temperatures and concentrations of electrons,specific losses of the discharge power for elastic and inelastic processes of collisions of electrons per unit of the total concentration of the mixture from the reduced electric field strength(E/N)for a mixture of aluminum,nitrogen,oxygen,rate constants of collisions of electrons with aluminum atoms on the E/N parameter in plasma on a mixture of aluminum vapor,oxygen and nitrogen=30:1000:100000 Pa at a total mixture pressure of P=101030 Pa are given.

Effects of oxygen/nitrogen co-incorporation on regulation of growth and properties of boron-doped diamond films

Regulation with nitrogen and oxygen co-doping on growth and properties of boron doped diamond films is studied by using laughing gas as dopant. As the concentration of laughing gas(N2O/C) increases from 0 to 10%, the growth rate of diamond film decreases gradually, and the nitrogen-vacancy(NV) center luminescence intensity increases first and then weakens. The results show that oxygen in laughing gas has a strong inhibitory effect on formation of NV centers, and the inhibitory effect would be stronger as the concentration of laughing gas increases. As a result, the film growth rate and nitrogen-related compensation donor decrease, beneficial to increase the acceptor concentration(~3.2×10^(19)cm^(-3)) in the film. Moreover, it is found that the optimal regulation with the quality and electrical properties of boron doped diamond films could be realized by adding appropriate laughing gas, especially the hole mobility(~700cm^(2)/V·s), which is beneficial to the realization of high-quality boron doped diamond films and high-level optoelectronic device applications in the future.

Low-Temperature Synthesis of Nano-AlN Based on Solid Nitrogen Source by Plasma-Assisted Ball Milling

Plasma-assisted ball milling was carried out on the Al+C3H6N6 system and Al+C_(4)H_(4)N_(4) system,respectively.The phase structure,functional groups and synthesis mechanism were analyzed by XRD and FT-IR,and the differences in the synthesis process of nano-AlN with different solid nitrogen sources were discussed.The results show that C3H6N6 has a stable triazine ring structure,and its chemical bond is firm and difficult to break,so AlN cannot be synthesized directly by solid-solid reaction at room temperature.However,there are a large number of nitrile groups(-CN)and amino groups(-NH_(2))in C_(4)H_(4)N_(4) molecules.Under the combined action of plasma bombardment and mechanical energy activation,C_(4)H_(4)N_(4) molecules undergo polycondensation and deamination,so that the ball milling tank is filled with a large number of active nitrogen-containing groups such as N=,≡N,etc.These groups and ball milling activated Al can synthesize nano-AlN at room temperature,with a conversion rate of 92%.SEM,DSC/TG analysis showed that the powder obtained by ball milling was formed by soft agglomeration of many fine primary particles about 50–80 nm.The surface morphology of the powder was loose and porous,and it had strong activity.After annealing at 800℃,the conversion rate of the Al+C_(4)H_(4)N_(4) system reached 99%.

铝与氮氧化物高温均相反应机理的量子化学计算研究

为了研究Al粉在氮氧化物中的燃烧特性,采用量子化学密度泛函理论ωB97X方法,研究了Al与3种氮氧化物(NO_(2)、NO和N_(2)O)的反应机理。首先,使用ωB97X‑D3方法在def2‑SVP基组水平上优化了各反应物、中间体、过渡态和产物的几何构型,通过频率分析证实中间体和过渡态的真实性,并通过内禀反应坐标(IRC)计算以进一步确定过渡态,得到了详细反应路径和机理。同时,使用双杂化泛函PWPB95结合DFT‑D3校正和def2‑TZVPP基组获得了各结构的单点能,并使用变分插值过渡态理论计算了相关反应的反应速率常数,得出每个反应的阿伦尼乌斯表达式。结果表明,Al与NO和NO_(2)的反应过程为Al与O氧原子连接形成复合物中间体后通过三元环状过渡态破坏N‑O键生成产物;Al与N_(2)O的反应时则为Al与N原子形成复合物后通过四元环状过渡态发生消除反应生成产物。通过分析各反应动力学参数得到Al与NO_(2)、NO和N_(2)O反应活化能分别为:4.3,249 kJ·mol^(-1)和13.4 kJ·mol^(-1)。在2400~4100 K,由于Al与NO_(2)和N_(2)O的反应能垒较低,反应速率均大于106 m^(3)·mol^(-1)·s^(-1),说明该反应容易发生且速率极快,Al与NO的反应能垒极高,因此其逆反应速率远大于正反应速率,且各反应反应速率受温度的影响程度为:NO>N_(2)O>NO_(2)。

为探讨细胞质膜ATP酶(PM H^(+)-ATPase)基因对铝胁迫下水稻(Oryza sativa L.)吸收硝态氮(NO_(3)^(-)-N)的调控,本试验以2个水稻品种峰1A和峰1A优5为研究对象,以无铝处理幼苗为对照,分析铝胁迫下水稻根尖PM H^(+)-ATPase活性、H^(+)-泵活性、H^(+)通量、PM H^(+)-ATPase基因家族(OsA1~OsA10)表达水平、PM H^(+)-ATPase和14-3-3蛋白的互作水平以及NO_(3)^(-)-N吸收量。结果表明,与对照相比,铝胁迫下2个水稻品种根尖PM H^(+)-ATPase活性、H^(+)-泵活性和根尖H^(+)通量下降,PM H^(+)-ATPase和14-3-3蛋白的互作水平下降。铝胁迫抑制了OsA1、OsA5、OsA7和OsA8基因的表达,其中OsA7的表达水平显著下调,铝胁迫下峰1A和峰1A优5的OsA7表达量仅为对照组的21%和39%。NO_(3)^(-)-N吸收量较对照下降,分别为对照的81%和85%。综上,PM H^(+)-ATPase基因的表达水平影响水稻对NO_(3)^(-)-N的吸收能力,OsA1、OsA5、OsA7和OsA8在铝胁迫下水稻吸收NO_(3)^(-)-N过程中起关键的调控作用。本研究结果可为增强酸铝条件下水稻吸收NO_(3)^(-)-N的能力,促进水稻生长及增产提供理论依据。

Convenient room-temperature synthesis of sulfur and nitrogen co-doped NiCo-LDH coupled with CNTs on NiCo foam as battery-type electrode for high performance hybrid supercapacitor

The convenient synthesis of the composite electrode with high supercapacitance performance plays an important role in practical application but is challenging.Herein,the carbon nanotubes(CNTs)coupled with lowcrystalline sulfur and nitrogen co-doped Ni Co-LDH(denoted as SN-Ni Co-LDH)nanosheets array are grown on Ni Co foam(NCF)substrate by two convenient steps of metal induced self-assembly and corrosion engineering,which present the advantages of operating at roomtemperature and low preparation costs.Benefiting from the S–N co-doping and low-crystallinity of Ni Co-LDH,the prepared SN-Ni Co-LDH@CNTs@NCF electrode presents a topping charge capacity of 2470 C·g^(-1)(4.94 C·cm^(-2))at 5 m A·cm^(-2).Furthermore,the fabricated asymmetry supercapacitor(ASC)achieves an extraordinary energy density of 77 Wh·kg^(-1)(0.617 m Wh·cm^(-2))at a power density of 438 W·kg^(-1)(3.5 m W·cm^(-2))and outstanding stability(91%capacity retention after 5000 cycles at20 m A·cm^(-2)).Impressively,the structure evolution of Ni Co-LDH during the charge/discharge processes has been thoroughly elucidated by in-situ Raman spectra.Therefore,this work verifies a powerful strategy and practical value for preparing composite electrodes with high supercapacitance performance,and also provides guidance for the rational design of the smart electrodes.

A novel composite photocatalyst for photocatalytic decomposition of water for hydrogen evolution was successfully synthesized by in-situ growth of nitrogen and sulfur co-doped coal-based carbon quantum dots(NSCQDs)nanoparticles on the surface of sheet cobalt-based metal-organic framework(Co-MOF)and graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4),CN).The structure and properties of the obtained catalysts were systematically analyzed.NSCQDs effectively broaden the absorption of Co-MOF and CN in the visible region.The new composite photocatalyst has high hydrogen production activity and the hydrogen production rate reaches 6254μmol/(g·h)at pH=9.At the same time,NSCQDs synergy Co-MOF/CN composites have good stability.After four cycles of hydrogen production,the performance remains relatively stable.The tran sient photocurrent response and Nyquist plot experimental results further demonstrate the improvement of carrier separation efficiency in composite catalysts.The semiconductor type(n-type semico nductor)of the single-phase catalyst was determined by the Mott-Schottky test,and the band structure was analyzed.The conductive and valence bands of CN are-0.99 and 1.72 eV,respectively,and the conduction and valence bands of Co-MOF are-1.85 and 1.33 eV,respectively.Th e mechanism of the photocatalytic reaction can be inferred,that is,Z-type heterojunction is formed between CN an d Co-MOF,and NSCQDs was used as cocatalyst.
