The particle size of nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> was determined by nano-particle size analyzer, and the effects of nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> content, ethanol-aqueous solution ratio and KH560 dosage on the dispersion and particle size of nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> were investigated. The material structure before and after modification was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Aqueous polyurethane resin and inorganic components are combined with modified nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> dispersion to form chromium-free passivation solution. The solution is coated on the galvanized sheet, the adhesion and surface hardness are tested, the bonding strength of the coating and the surface hardness of the substrate are discussed. The corrosion resistance and surface morphology of the matrix were investigated by electrochemical test, neutral salt spray test and scanning electron microscope test. The chromium-free passivation film formed after the modification of nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> increases the surface hardness of galvanized sheet by about 85%. The corrosion resistance of the film is better than that of a single polyurethane film. The results show that the surface hardness and corrosion resistance of polyurethane resin composite passivation film are significantly improved by the introduction of nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>.展开更多

This method is simpler and more efficient than previously reported step-by-step method in which magnets were consecutively dispersed in DMF solutions each containing one MOF precursor, and the obtained Fe304@UiO-66-NH2 with three assembly cycles has a higher degree of crystallinity and porosiW. The core-shell Fe3O4@UiO-66-NH2 is highly active and selective in Knoevenagel condensations because of the bifunctionality of UiO-66-NH2 and better mass transfer in the nano-sized shells. It also has good recycling stability, and can be recovered magnetically and reused at least four times without significant loss of catalytic activity and framework integrity. The effects of substitution on the reactivity of benzaldehyde and of substrate size were also investigated.展开更多

X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and vibration sample magnetometry were used to characterize the TiO2/Fe3O4 particles. The photocatalytic activity of the particles was tested by degrading methyl blue solution under UV illumination （254 nm）. The results indicate that with the content of TiO2 increasing, the photocatalytic activity of the composite particles enhances, while the magnetism of the particles decreases. When the molar ratio of TiO2 to Fe3O4 is about 8, both the photocatalytic activity and magnetism of the TiO2/Fe3O4 particles are relatively high, and their photocatalytic activity remains well after repeated use.展开更多

Herein, we demonstrate a metal–organic framework(MOF)-assisted strategy for the synthesis of a hierarchical hybrid nanostructure composed of Fe_2O_3 nanotubes assembled in Co_3O_4 host. Starting from MOF composite precursors(Fe-based MOF encapsulated in a Cobased host matrix), a complex structure of Co_3O_4 host and engulfed Fe_2O_3 nanotubes was prepared by a simple annealing treatment in air. By virtue of their structural and compositional features, these hierarchical composite particles reveal enhanced lithium storage properties when employed as anodes for lithium-ion batteries.展开更多

However, the typical photocatalytic activity...As BiVO4 is one of the most popular visible-light-responding photocatalysts, it has been widely used for visiblelight-driven water splitting and environmental purification. However, the typical photocatalytic activity of unmodified BiVO4 for the degradation of organic pollutants is still not impressive. To address this limitation, we studied Fe2O3-modified porous BiVO4 nanoplates. Compared with unmodified BiVO4, the Fe2O3-modified porous Bi VO4 nanoplates showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activities in decomposing both dye and colorless pollutant models, such as rhodamine B(Rh B) and phenol,respectively. The pseudo-first-order reaction rate constants for the degradation of RhB and phenol on Fe2O3-modified BiVO4 porous nanoplates are 27 and 31 times larger than that of pristine Bi VO4, respectively. We also found that the Fe2O3 may act as an efficient non-precious metal co-catalyst, which is responsible for the excellent photocatalytic activity of Fe2O3/BiVO4.Graphical Abstract Fe2O3, as a cheap and efficient co-catalyst, could greatly enhance the photocatalytic activity of Bi VO4 porous nanoplates in decomposing organic pollutants.展开更多

The Fe3O4 MNPs were in nanometre scale with an average diameter of approximately 12 to 18 nm. The introduction of Fe3O4 MNPs increased levofloxacin sono-degradation in the US/H2O2 system. Experimental parameters, such as Fe3O4 MNP dose, initial solution p H, and H2O2 concentration, were investigated by a one-factor-at-a-time approach. The results showed that Fe3O4 MNPs enhanced levofloxacin removal in the p H range from 4.0 to 9.0. Levofloxacin removal ratio increased with Fe3O4 MNP dose up to 1.0 g·L-1and with H2O2 concentration until reaching the maximum. Moreover, three main intermediate compounds were identified by HPLC with electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry, and a possible degradation pathway was proposed. This study suggests that combination of H2O2, Fe3O4 MNPs and US is a good way to improve the degradation efficiency of antibiotics.展开更多

The particle size was observed by FE-SEM. Optical properties of the films were investigated by UV-visible spectra. Structural and magnetic characteristics were investigated through FT-IR and VSM. The transparency of the Fe2O3/SiO2 nano-composite films decreased with the content of the Fe2O3. Water and organic solvent in the films were evaporated with heat treatment, so the transparency of the films was enhanced under high temperature. It is also found that the saturation magnetization （Ms） of the films increases with the temperature. As the content of the Fe2O3 increases, when the content of the Fe2O3 is around 30wt%, the Ms of the films has a maximum value.展开更多

The particle size distribution, thermal and phase stabilities and gas sensing properties were systematically characterized by TEM, granularity distribution, TG-DTA, XRD and gas sensitivity measurements. The particle size is about 10 nm and size distribution is very narrow. The sensitivity of the sensing element to CO, H2, C2H4, C6H6 and the effects of calcination temperature on the sensitivity and conductance of gases were examined. The combination of excellent thermal stability and tunable gas sensing properties through careful control of the preparation and judicious selection of material compositions gives rise to novel nanocomposites, which is attractive for the sensitive and selective detection of reducing gases and some hydrocarbon gases.展开更多

文摘Facile preparation of cost-effective and durable porous carbon-supported non-precious-metal/nitrogen electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)is extremely important for promoting the commercialized applications of such catalysts.In this work,the FeCl3-containing porphyrinato iron-based covalent porous polymer(FeCl3·FeP or-CPP)was fabricated in-situ onto porous corncob biomass supports via a simple one-pot method.Subsequent thermal-reduction pyrolysis at 700℃-900℃with CO2 gas as an activating agent resulted in Fe2O3-decorated and N-doped graphitic carbon composite Fe2O3@NC&bio-C with a high degree of graphitization of Fe-involved promotion during pyrolysis(Fe2O3=FeCl3·FePor-CPP derived Fe2O3;NC=N-doped graphene analog;bio-C=the corncob-derived hierarchically porous graphitic biomass carbon framework).The derivedα-Fe2O3 andγ-Fe2O3 nanocrystals(5-10 nm particle diameter)were all immobilized on the N-doped bio-C micro/nanofibers.Notably,the Fe2O3@NC&bio-C obtained at the pyrolysis temperature of 800℃(Fe2O3@NC&bio-C-800),exhibited unusual ORR catalytic efficiency via a 4-electron pathway with the onset and half-wave potentials of 0.96 V and 0.85 V vs.RHE,respectively.In addition,Fe2O3@NC&bio-C-800 also exhibited a high and stable limiting current density of-6.0 mA cm-2,remarkably stability(larger than 91%retention after 10000 s),and good methanol tolerance.The present work represents one of the best results for iron-based biomass material ORR catalysts reported to date.The high ORR activity is attributed to the uniformly distributedα-Fe2O3 andγ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles on the N-enriched carbon matrix with a large specific surface area of 772.6 m^2 g^-1.This facilitates favor faster electron movement and better adsorption of oxygen molecules on the surface of the catalyst.Nevertheless,comparative studies on the structure and ORR catalytic activity of Fe2O3@NC&bioC-800 with Fe2O3@bio-C-800 and NC&bio-C-800 clearly highlight the synergistic effect of the coexisting Fe2O3 nanocrystals,NC,and bio-C on the ORR performance.

文摘As BiVO4 is one of the most popular visible-light-responding photocatalysts, it has been widely used for visiblelight-driven water splitting and environmental purification. However, the typical photocatalytic activity of unmodified BiVO4 for the degradation of organic pollutants is still not impressive. To address this limitation, we studied Fe2O3-modified porous BiVO4 nanoplates. Compared with unmodified BiVO4, the Fe2O3-modified porous Bi VO4 nanoplates showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activities in decomposing both dye and colorless pollutant models, such as rhodamine B(Rh B) and phenol,respectively. The pseudo-first-order reaction rate constants for the degradation of RhB and phenol on Fe2O3-modified BiVO4 porous nanoplates are 27 and 31 times larger than that of pristine Bi VO4, respectively. We also found that the Fe2O3 may act as an efficient non-precious metal co-catalyst, which is responsible for the excellent photocatalytic activity of Fe2O3/BiVO4.Graphical Abstract Fe2O3, as a cheap and efficient co-catalyst, could greatly enhance the photocatalytic activity of Bi VO4 porous nanoplates in decomposing organic pollutants.

文摘Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles(MNPs) were synthesised, characterised, and used as a peroxidase mimetic to accelerate levofloxacin sono-degradation in an ultrasound(US)/H2O2 system. The Fe3O4 MNPs were in nanometre scale with an average diameter of approximately 12 to 18 nm. The introduction of Fe3O4 MNPs increased levofloxacin sono-degradation in the US/H2O2 system. Experimental parameters, such as Fe3O4 MNP dose, initial solution p H, and H2O2 concentration, were investigated by a one-factor-at-a-time approach. The results showed that Fe3O4 MNPs enhanced levofloxacin removal in the p H range from 4.0 to 9.0. Levofloxacin removal ratio increased with Fe3O4 MNP dose up to 1.0 g·L-1and with H2O2 concentration until reaching the maximum. Moreover, three main intermediate compounds were identified by HPLC with electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry, and a possible degradation pathway was proposed. This study suggests that combination of H2O2, Fe3O4 MNPs and US is a good way to improve the degradation efficiency of antibiotics.

文摘Fe2O3/SiO2 nano-composite films were prepared by sol-gel technique combining heat treatment in the range of 100-900 ℃. The particle size was observed by FE-SEM. Optical properties of the films were investigated by UV-visible spectra. Structural and magnetic characteristics were investigated through FT-IR and VSM. The transparency of the Fe2O3/SiO2 nano-composite films decreased with the content of the Fe2O3. Water and organic solvent in the films were evaporated with heat treatment, so the transparency of the films was enhanced under high temperature. It is also found that the saturation magnetization （Ms） of the films increases with the temperature. As the content of the Fe2O3 increases, when the content of the Fe2O3 is around 30wt%, the Ms of the films has a maximum value.

文摘Nanostructured γ-Fe2O3/SiO2 complex oxide was prepared by sol-gel method with tetraethoxysilane and iron nitrate as precursors. The particle size distribution, thermal and phase stabilities and gas sensing properties were systematically characterized by TEM, granularity distribution, TG-DTA, XRD and gas sensitivity measurements. The particle size is about 10 nm and size distribution is very narrow. The sensitivity of the sensing element to CO, H2, C2H4, C6H6 and the effects of calcination temperature on the sensitivity and conductance of gases were examined. The combination of excellent thermal stability and tunable gas sensing properties through careful control of the preparation and judicious selection of material compositions gives rise to novel nanocomposites, which is attractive for the sensitive and selective detection of reducing gases and some hydrocarbon gases.
