The present work studied the agglomerating process and the growth mechanism by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is thought that the size and distribution of the catalyst particles produced from pretreatment of the substrates play a key role during the formation of agglomerations. It is expected that the steady growth of ODCNMs in flames will be improved through the preparation of the catalysts.展开更多

Two-dimensional(2D) carbon-based nano-materials are becoming more and more popular in heterogeneous catalysis due to their cost-effective and multi-scale tunability as single-atom catalysis(SACs) substrates. In this paper, by using first-principles calculation, we designed and demonstrated a novel macropore T-carbon [110](TC) monolayer as 2D electrocatalyst substrate for HER/OER/ORR, and the synergistic modification of the transition metal and nonmetal atoms(TM-X) were investigated to enhance the multifunctional electrocatalytic performance. We screened out the Co embedded in N-doped TC(Co3@N-TC) from 30 TM@X-TC monolayers as a trifunctional electrocatalysts, which exhibits superior performance for HER/ORR/OER on both thermodynamic and kinetic scales, and with excellent thermal and electrochemical stability. Then, the TC monolayer is naturally macropore with a diameter of 5.36 A and exhibits excellent adsorption capacity for the intermediates and products of the redox reactions. Moreover, we revealed the origin of the electrocatalytic activity using the crystal orbital Hamilton population(COHP) and the molecular orbitals(MOs). The d orbital of Co3@N-TC is significantly hybridized with the p orbital of the intermediates, so that the lone electrons initially occupied in the antibonding state pair up and occupy the downward bonding state, allowing *OH to be appropriately adsorbed onto the TC monolayer. This work not only demonstrates that the TM@X-TC monolayer is a superior synergistic trifunctional electrocatalyst, but also reveals a macropore monolayer material with potential applications in electrocatalysis.展开更多

However non-thermal plasma associated with catalyst can resolve these problems. So this kind of technology was paid more and more attention to treat waste gas. In this paper, we make use of this technology to decompose toluene under different electric field and packed materials. At the same time, the mechanism of toluene decomposition using plasma and catalyst is discussed. The experimental results show toluene decomposition increases with electric field strength increasing and flow velocity and initial concentration decreasing. There are four conditions in plasma: without packed materials (1);with packed materials (2);with BaTiO3 in the surfaces of packed materials (3);and with nanometer Ba0.8Sr0.2Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 (4). Toluene decomposition represents a obvious trend, that is, η(4) > η(3) > η(2) > η(1). The best decomposition efficiency of toluene arrives at 95%.展开更多

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to examine the surface morphology and microstructure of their oxide films. It is found that ceria coating greatly improves the anti-oxidation property of chromium. Laser Raman spectrometer and X-ray diffraction spectrometer (XRD) are also used to study the stress level in oxide films formed on ceria-coated and ceria-free Cr. The difference in oxidation behavior is mainly attributed to the fact that ceria greatly reduces the growth speed and grain size of Cr2O3 film, and this fine grain-sized Cr2O3 film probably has better high temperature plasticity, i.e. oxide film can relieve parts of compressive stress by means of creeping. XRD and Raman testing results both show the stress declination due to nano-CeO2 application, and their deviation is analyzed conceming to the rare earth effect.展开更多

In the present work colloidal iridium nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical oxidation method with different surfactants like poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) and poly oxyethylene lauryl ether (POLE). It was found that shape and size of Ir-nano particles resulted were related to kind of capping agent (surfactant) used. The characterization of the synthesized nano particle has been carried out by UV-vis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) techniques. UV-vis and FT-IR confirm the oxidation of IrCl3 into IrO2 while XRD confirms the amorphous nature of the iridium nanoparticles synthesized. The morphology and size of the particle were confirmed by TEM. The average particle size determined by Scherrer equation was about 4.12 nm to 4.23 nm with PVP, 2.74 to 3.36 nm with PVA and 20.41 to 42.25 nm with POLE. Poly oxyethylene lauryl ether particles were not further analyzed because of their large size and less stability. Further particle size was confirmed with TEM, which was 4.5 nm with PVP and 7.0 nm with PVA. The particles are spherical with no agglomeration tendency.展开更多

In 30 min AC was milled to a mean particle size of 30-50 nm with increased crystallinity and higher specific surface area, predominantly mesoporous and with improved pore diameter distribution. Then, AC nano-particles were incorporated with MnO2 or bismuth-doped MnO2 nano-particles synthesized by sol-gel methods to prepare nano-composite electrode materials for studying their electrochemical performance. The AC nano-particles combined with 10 wt.% bismuth-doped MnO2 nano-particles were found to possess excellent electrochemical property with specific capacitance up to 308 F/g and without obvious attenuation with increasing current. Our method seems to ooen a new way to imorove AC based electrode materials used for clean energy such as suner capacitors.展开更多

文摘Surfactant complexation may have significant effects on the environmental behavior of nano-particles.In order to understand the ecological exposure of nano-materials,it is important to determine the stability and mobility of surfactant-complexed nano-materials in aqueous systems.In this study,the aggregation and transport of C(60) complexed by the surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate(SDBS)were investigated.It was found that SDBS-complexed C-(60) had aζ-potential of-49.5 m V under near-neutral p H conditions and remained stable during an aging period of 15 days.It had a critical coagulation concentration of 550 mmol/L for Na Cl,which was higher than common natural colloids and many kinds of raw nano-materials,and was comparable to those of many kinds of surface-modified nano-materials.SDBS enhanced the stability of C(60) colloid;however,at the same time,it also enhanced the colloidal particle aggregation rate.Much higher mobility was found for SDBS-complexed C(60) than C(60) colloid.Increase in ionic strength,Ca^2+ concentration or Al^(3+) concentration decreased the mobility.In general,SDBS-complexed C(60) had high stability and mobility.
文摘1 Results Dendrimers are highly branched organic macromolecules with successive layers or "generations" of branch units surrounding a central core.Organic inorganic hybrid versions have also been produced,by trapping metal ions or metal clusters within the voids of the dendrimers.Their unusual,tree-like topology endows these nanometre-sized macromolecules with a gradient in branch density from the interior to the exterior,which can be exploited to direct the transfer of charge and energy from the dendri...
