The influences of substrate bias voltage and temperature on microstructure, residual stress and mechanical properties of the films were investigated by EDS, SEM, XRD and nanoindenter tester, respectively. The results showed that the TiN films were highly oriented in(111) orientation with a face-centered cubic structure. With the increase of substrate bias voltage and temperature, the diffraction peak intensity increased sharply with simultaneous peak narrowing, and the small grain sizes increased from 6.2 to 13.8 nm. As the substrate temperature increased from 10 to 300℃, the residual compressive stress decreased sharply from 10.2 to 7.7 GPa, which caused the hardness to decrease from 33.1 to 30.6 GPa, while the adhesion strength increased sharply from 9.6 to 21 N.展开更多

In this study, oxygen vacancies were introduced to tungsten trioxide nanosheets(WO3–x) via a microwave-assisted route. The as-prepared WO3–x nanosheets exhibited excellent visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity toward E. coli K-12 inactivation, and 6 log orders of the bacterial cells could be completely inactivated within 150 min. The obtained bacterial inactivation rate constant was 15.2 times higher than that of pristine WO3 without oxygen vacancies, suggesting that the surface oxygen vacancy could significantly promote the bacterial inactivation efficiency. The mechanism study indicated that the inactivation of bacterial cells occurs via a direct h+ oxidation pathway. In addition, the role of the oxygen vacancy was studied in detail;the oxygen vacancy was found to not only promote interfacial charge separation but also tune the band structure of WO3, thereby leading to increased h+ oxidation power. Finally, a possible oxygen vacancy-dominated photocatalytic bacterial inactivation mechanism is proposed. This work is expected to offer new insights into the microwave-assisted synthesis of defective photocatalysts and the use of the oxygen vacancy for promoting photocatalytic antibacterial activities.展开更多

Participants were 90 first-year English majors, randomly assigned to two experimental groups(continuation and retelling) and one control group, with 30 students in each group. Results showed that the continuation group generated a substantial amount of creative construction and produced significantly more instances of creative imitation than the retelling group. The continuation group outperformed the retelling group for both receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge gain and retention, but differences were only significant in terms of productive vocabulary retention. Finally, productive vocabulary knowledge retention among the continuation group was significantly and positively correlated with creative imitation(meaning creation coupled with language imitation), but not with linguistic alignment per se. As productive vocabulary knowledge constitutes the learner ’s ability to use lexical knowledge to express ideas in dynamic contexts, the findings afforded evidence that creative imitation could be the answer to the fundamental issue of L2 learning(i.e., mapping static language onto dynamic idea expression). The pedagogical implications as well as future research directions are also discussed.展开更多

Its efficient removal at mild conditions is still challenging. The catalytic oxidation of HCHO molecules on a single atomic catalyst, Ti-decorated Ti3C2O2(Ti/Ti3C2O2) monolayer, is investigated by performing the first principles calculations in this work. It demonstrates that Ti atoms can be easily well dispersed at the form of single atom on Ti3C2O2 monolayer without aggregation. For HCHO catalytic oxidation, both Langmuir-Hinshelwood(LH) and Eley-Rideal(ER) mechanisms are considered. The results show that the step of HCHO dissociative adsorption on Ti/Ti3C2O2 with activated O2 can release high energy of 4.05 e V based on the ER mechanism, which can help to overcome the energy barrier(1.04 e V) of the subsequent reaction steps. The charge transfer from *OH group to CO molecule(dissociated from HCHO) not only promotes *OH group activation but also plays an important role in the H2 O generation along the ER mechanism. Therefore, HCHO can be oxidized easily on Ti/Ti3C2O2 monolayer, this work could provide significant guidance to develop effective non-noble metal catalysts for HCHO oxidation and broaden the applications of MXene-based materials.展开更多

文摘Aniline,pyrrole and phenanthroline,which have different nitrogen compositions,are used as carbon precursors to synthesize nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous carbons(NOMCs) by the nanocasting method.The effect of the precursor on the resultant NOMC is extensively investigated by nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements,scanning electron microscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),cyclic voltammetry and rotating ring-disk electrode measurements.Salient findings are as follows.First,the precursor has a significant influence on the specific surface area and textural properties.The NOMC materials derived from pyrrole(C-PY-900:765 m^2/) and phenanthroline(C-Phen-900:746 m^2/) exhibit higher specific surface areas than the aniline analog(C-PA-900:569 m^2/).Second,the XPS results indicate that the total nitrogen content(ca.3.1–3.3 at%) is similar for the three carbon sources,except for a slight difference in the nitrogen configuration.Furthermore,the content of the nitrogen-activated carbon atoms is found to closely depend on the precursor,which is the highest for the phenanthroline-derived carbon.Third,the electrochemical results reveal that the electrocatalytic activity follows in the order C-PA-900 C-PY-900 C-Phen-900,confirming that the nitrogen-activated carbon atoms are the active sites for the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).In summary,the precursor has considerable influence on the composition and textural properties of the NOMC materials,of which the ORR electrocatalytic activity can be enhanced through optimization of the NOMCs.
文摘Surface defect modulation has emerged as a potential strategy for promoting the photocatalytic activity of photocatalysts for various applications, while the impact of the oxygen vacancy on bacterial inactivation is still debated. In this study, oxygen vacancies were introduced to tungsten trioxide nanosheets(WO3–x) via a microwave-assisted route. The as-prepared WO3–x nanosheets exhibited excellent visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity toward E. coli K-12 inactivation, and 6 log orders of the bacterial cells could be completely inactivated within 150 min. The obtained bacterial inactivation rate constant was 15.2 times higher than that of pristine WO3 without oxygen vacancies, suggesting that the surface oxygen vacancy could significantly promote the bacterial inactivation efficiency. The mechanism study indicated that the inactivation of bacterial cells occurs via a direct h+ oxidation pathway. In addition, the role of the oxygen vacancy was studied in detail;the oxygen vacancy was found to not only promote interfacial charge separation but also tune the band structure of WO3, thereby leading to increased h+ oxidation power. Finally, a possible oxygen vacancy-dominated photocatalytic bacterial inactivation mechanism is proposed. This work is expected to offer new insights into the microwave-assisted synthesis of defective photocatalysts and the use of the oxygen vacancy for promoting photocatalytic antibacterial activities.
文摘This paper reports on a study on the effects of reading-writing integrated tasks on vocabulary learning and explored the differential roles of creative construction and non-creative construction in promoting lexical learning. Participants were 90 first-year English majors, randomly assigned to two experimental groups(continuation and retelling) and one control group, with 30 students in each group. Results showed that the continuation group generated a substantial amount of creative construction and produced significantly more instances of creative imitation than the retelling group. The continuation group outperformed the retelling group for both receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge gain and retention, but differences were only significant in terms of productive vocabulary retention. Finally, productive vocabulary knowledge retention among the continuation group was significantly and positively correlated with creative imitation(meaning creation coupled with language imitation), but not with linguistic alignment per se. As productive vocabulary knowledge constitutes the learner ’s ability to use lexical knowledge to express ideas in dynamic contexts, the findings afforded evidence that creative imitation could be the answer to the fundamental issue of L2 learning(i.e., mapping static language onto dynamic idea expression). The pedagogical implications as well as future research directions are also discussed.

文摘To avoid the defects caused by the hydrogen evolution and improve the corrosion and wear properties of the electroplated films in the traditional aqueous bath electrodeposition,a supercritical carbon dioxide(Sc-CO2)emulsion was proposed to electrodeposite ternary nanocrystalline Co-Ni-P alloy films.Microstructure,corrosive and tribological properties of the Co-Ni-P films were investigated and compared with the ones electroplated by conventional method.The results show that the Co-Ni-P films produced with Sc-CO2assisted electrodeposition exhibit a more compact microstructure.The preferred orientation plane of hcp(110)for the Co-Ni-P films produced in conventional aqueous bath is changed to be hcp(100)for the one prepared in emulsified Sc-CO2bath.The microhardness,corrosion resistance and tribological properties of the Co-Ni-P films are substantially improved with the assistance of Sc-CO2in the electrodeposition bath.
文摘Photocatalytic degradation of gaseous pollutants on Bi-based semiconductors under solar lightirradiation has attracted significant attention.However,their application in gaseous straight-chainalkane purification is still rare.Here,a series of Bi/BiOBr composites were solvothermally synthe-sized and applied in solar-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of gaseous n-hexane.The charac-terization results revealed that both increasing number of functional groups of alcohol solvent(from methanol and ethylene glycol to glycerol)and solvothermal temperature(from 160 and 180to 200℃)facilitated the in-situ formation of metallic Bi nanospheres on BiOBr nanoplates withexposed(110)facets.Meanwhile,chemical bonding between Bi and BiOBr was observed on theseexposed facets that resulted in the formation of surface oxygen vacancy.Furthermore,the synergis-tic effect of optimum surface oxygen vacancy on exposed(110)facets led to a high visible light re-sponse,narrow band gap,great photocurrent,low recombination rate of the charge carriers,andstrong·O2-and h*formation,all of which resulted in the highest removal efficiency of 97.4%within120 min of 15 ppmv of n-hexane on Bi/BiOBr.Our findings efficiently broaden the application ofBi-based photocatalysis technology in the purification of gaseous straight-chain pollutants emittedby the petrochemical industry.

文摘The development of well-defined TiO2 nanoarchitectures is a versatile strategy to achieve high-efficiency photocatalytic performance.In this study,mesoporous TiO2 nanofibers consisting of oriented nanocrystals were fabricated by a facile vapothermal-assisted topochemical transformation of preformed H-titanate nanobelts.The vapothermal temperature is crucial in tuning the microstructures and photocatalytic redox properties of the resulting mesoporous TiO2 nanofibers.The microstructures were characterized with XRD,TEM,XPS and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms,etc.The photocatalytic activities were evaluated by photocatalytic oxidation of organic pollutant(Rhodamine B as an example)as well as photocatalytic reduction of water to generate hydrogen(H2).The nanofibers vapothermally treated at 150°C showed the highest photocatalytic activity in both oxidation and reduction reactions,2 times higher than that of P25.The oriented alignment and suitable mesoporosity in the resulting nanofiber architecture were crucial for enhancing photocatalytic performances.The oriented alignment of anisotropic anatase nanocrystals shall facilitate faster vectorial charge transportation along the nanofibers architecture.And,the suitable mesoporosity and high surface area would also effectively enhance the mass exchange during photocatalytic reactions.We also demonstrate that efficient energy-recovering photocatalytic water treatments could be accomplished by a cascading oxic-anoxic process where the dye is degraded in the oxic phase and hydrogen is generated in the successive anoxic phase.This study showcases a novel and facile method to fabricate mesoporous TiO2 nanofibers with high photocatalytic activity for both clean energy production and environmental purification.
文摘Formaldehyde(HCHO) is a common indoor pollutant, long-term exposure to HCHO may harm human health. Its efficient removal at mild conditions is still challenging. The catalytic oxidation of HCHO molecules on a single atomic catalyst, Ti-decorated Ti3C2O2(Ti/Ti3C2O2) monolayer, is investigated by performing the first principles calculations in this work. It demonstrates that Ti atoms can be easily well dispersed at the form of single atom on Ti3C2O2 monolayer without aggregation. For HCHO catalytic oxidation, both Langmuir-Hinshelwood(LH) and Eley-Rideal(ER) mechanisms are considered. The results show that the step of HCHO dissociative adsorption on Ti/Ti3C2O2 with activated O2 can release high energy of 4.05 e V based on the ER mechanism, which can help to overcome the energy barrier(1.04 e V) of the subsequent reaction steps. The charge transfer from *OH group to CO molecule(dissociated from HCHO) not only promotes *OH group activation but also plays an important role in the H2 O generation along the ER mechanism. Therefore, HCHO can be oxidized easily on Ti/Ti3C2O2 monolayer, this work could provide significant guidance to develop effective non-noble metal catalysts for HCHO oxidation and broaden the applications of MXene-based materials.

文摘Photoelectrochemical(PEC)water splitting capable of reducing and oxidizing water into hydrogen and oxygen in a generation mode of spatial separation has gained extensive popularity.In order to effectively produce hydrogen at the photocathode of a PEC cell,the photoanode,where the oxygen evolution reaction occurs,should be systematically developed on priority.In particular,WO3 has been identified as one of the most promising photoanode materials owing to its narrow band gap and high valence band position.Its practical implementation,however,is still limited by excessive electron–hole recombination and poor water oxidation kinetics.This review presents the various strategies that have been studied for enhancing the PEC water oxidation performance of WO3,such as controlling the morphology,introducing defects,constructing a heterojunction,loading a cocatalyst,and exploiting the plasmonic effect.In addition,the possible future research directions are presented.
文摘In order to efficiently produce H_(2),conventional methanol‐water thermocatalytic(TC)reforming requires a very high temperature due to high Gibbs free energy,while the energy conversion efficiency of methanol‐water photocatalytic(PC)reforming is far from satisfaction because of the kinetic limitation.To address these issues,herein,we incorporate PC and TC processes together in a specially designed reactor and realize simultaneous photocatalytic/thermocatalytic(PC‐TC)reforming of methanol in an aqueous phase.Such a design facilitates the synergetic effect of the PC and TC process for H_(2) production due to a lower energy barrier and faster reaction kinetics.The methanol‐water reforming based on the optimized 0.05%Pt@TiO_(2) catalyst delivers an outstanding H_(2) production rate in the PC‐TC process(5.66μmol H_(2)·g^(‒1) catalyst·s^(‒1)),which is about 3 and 7 times than those of the TC process(1.89μmol H_(2)·g^(‒1) catalyst·s^(‒1))and the PC process(0.80μmol H_(2)·g^(‒1) catalyst·s^(‒1)),respectively.Isotope tracer experiments,active intermediate trapping experiments,and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the photo‐generated holes and hydroxyl radicals could enhance the methanol dehydrogenation,water molecule splitting,and water‐gas shift reaction,while high temperature accelerates reaction kinetics.The proposed PC‐TC reforming of methanol for hydrogen production can be a promising technology to solve the energy and environmental issue in the closed‐loop hydrogen economy in the near future.

文摘One simple and environmental friendly synthesis strategy for preparing low-cost magnetic Fe3C@C materials has been facilely developed using a modified sol-gel approach,wherein natural magnetite acted as the iron source.A chelating polycarboxylic acid such as citric acid(CA)was employed as the carbon source,and it dissolved Fe very effectively,Fe3O4 and natural magnetite to composite an iron-citrate complex with the assistance of ammonium hydroxide.The core-shell structure of the as-prepared nanocomposites was formed directly by high-temperature pyrolysis.The Fe3C@C materials exhibited superparamagnetic properties(38.09 emu/mg),suggesting potential applications in biomedicine,environment,absorption,catalysis,etc.
文摘The construction of high color purity and high resolution organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)is facilitated by the development of highly-efficient organic luminescent materials with narrow-band emission.Herein,in order to address the problem of broad emission spectra of organic luminescent materials,an effective molecular design strategy is presented to reduce the full width at half maximum(FWHM)of emission by integrating the steric hindrance effect in the pyrene system.As the bulky group was introduced into the 2-position,compounds 5 not only show a relative high quantum yield(>0.31)in the solid state,but also can suppress the molecular rotation of triphenylamine(TPA)at the 3-position to narrow the FWHM in the solid state compared to that in solution.Compound 5c containing biphenyl units exhibits a maximum emission peak at 484 nm with a quantum yield of 0.38 and FWHM value of 49 nm in the solid state.
