In this study, a biodegradable thin membrane composed of a blend of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and poly(caprolactone) (PCL) was fabricated utilizing the electrospinning technique. The membrane exhibited an adsorption capacity for cooking oil of 10.8 g/g, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed the anticipated chemical structures, revealing no evidence of chemical interactions between PHBV and PCL. This research presents an environmentally friendly and straightforward approach for fabricating biodegradable membrane structure with exceptional oil-water separation capabilities.展开更多

Graphitic carbon nitride （g-C3N4）. as an attractive metal-free photocatalyst, has drawn worldwide research interest in the area of solar energy conversion due to its easy synthesis, earth-abundant nature, physicochemical stability and visible-light-responsive properties. Over the past ten years, g-C3N4 based photocatalysts have experienced intensive exploration, and great progress has been achieved. However, the solar conversion efficiency is still far from industrial applications due to the wide bandgap, severe charge recombination, and lack of surface active sites. Many strategies have been proposed to enhance the light absorption, reduce the recombination of charge carriers and accelerate the surface kinetics. This work makes a crucial review about the main contributions of various strategies to the light harvesting, charge separation and surface kinetics of g-C3N4 photocatalyst. Furthermore, the evaluation measurements for the enhanced light harvesting, reduced charge recombination and accelerated surface kinetics will be discussed. In addition, this review proposes future trends to enhance the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4 photocatalyst for the solar energy conversion.展开更多

The rare earth chlorides were more readily transported and concentrated in the middle temperature range of 980～1100 K and the transport efficiency was in the order of Sm≈Gd>Eu. The separation factor, expressed as molar ratio for the resulting chlorides, was 1 70 for Eu∶Sm, 1 88 for Eu∶Gd, 1 24 for Sm∶Gd in the higher temperature region, and 2 76 for Sm∶Eu, 2 83 for Gd∶Eu and 1 12 for Gd∶Sm in the lower temperature region, respectively. All results are much higher than those of the conventional wet process.展开更多

The results suggest that the phase separation and crystallization of 60ZnO-30 B2O3-10SiO2 glass occur at glass surface, and the incorporation of small amount(<4 mol%) of La2O3 significantly inhibits the glass phase separation and consequently improves the thermal stability of glass.Doping of La2O3 accelerates the glass crystallization at the elevated temperature(660 ℃), making the depth of crystal layer thicker and diffraction intensity in XRD patterns stronger. However, due to the precipitation of several crystals that occur simultaneously when La2O3 doping amount is 4 mol%, crystallization of the 60ZnO-30B2O3-10SiO2 glass is obviously depressed, the crystallization activation energy Ec and the relative crystallinity Xc of the glass reach the maximum and the minimum values, respectively.Although transition from one-dimensional growth of crystals to two-dimensional growth of crystals results from La2O3 addition, the one-dimensional growth of crystals remains dominant in crystallization process. This work can provide some useful information for preparing glass ceramics with nano-crystals precipitated in the glass surface.展开更多

Theoretically, the bilayer g-C3 N4 membrane with a diameter of about3.25 A? should be a perfect candidate for H_2 purification from these mixed gases, which is verified by the high selectivity(S) for H_2 over other kinds of gases(3.43 × 1028 for H_2/N2; 1.40 × 1028 for H_262/H_2 O; 1.60 × 10 for H_2/CO; 4.30 × 10^(14) for H_2/Cl_2; 2.50 × 10^(55) for H_2/CH_4), and the permeance(P) of H_2(13 mol/m^2·s·Pa) across the bilayer g-C_3 N_4 membrane at 300 K, which should be of great potential in energy and environmental research. Our studies highlight a new approach towards the final goal of high P and high S molecular-sieving membranes used in simple structural engineering.展开更多

文摘Lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)have attracted widespread attention due to their high theoretical energy density.However,the dissolution of long-chain polysulfides into the electrolyte(the“shuttle effect”)leads to rapid capacity decay.Therefore,finding suitable materials to mitigate the shuttle effect of polysulfides is crucial for enhancing the electrochemical performance of lithium-sulfur batteries.In this study,LSBs’separator is modified with Ni_(3)V_(2)O_(8)nanoparticles@carboxylated carbon nanotubes(Ni_(3)V_(2)O_(8)@CNTs)composite.There are abundant oxygen vacancies in Ni_(3)V_(2)O_(8)@CNTs composite which plays a synergistic effect on shuttle effect.The Ni_(3)V_(2)O_(8)can tightly anchor soluble polysulfides through oxygen vacancies,while the CNTs not only facilitate the transport of ions and electrons but also weaken the migration of polysulfides,limiting shuttle effect.As a result,the cycling stability of LSBs using Ni_(3)V_(2)O_(8)@CNTs-modified separator has been significantly improved(with a capacity decay rate of only 0.0334%after 1500 cycles at 4.0C).This study proposes a strategy to design modified separator for high-performance LSBs.

文摘Over-exploitation of fossil energy has led to the formation of enormous amounts of oily wastewater,which is increasingly polluting the environment of water bodies.The Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)-modified separation ma-terial is limited by surface roughness and surface chemical composition,and the permeation flux de-creases significantly during continuous testing.In this study,silver-loaded polydopamine nanospheres(nano-AgPNPs)as antioxidants were prepared by in-situ reduction from Ag+ions and polydopamine nanospheres,and then they self-assembled with Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)nanosheets to obtain hierarchical micro-nano structural nano-AgPNPs modified Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)[(AgPNPs)_(x)T(x=0.25,0.5,0.75,and 1)].Because of their strong reduction properties,nano-AgPNPs antioxidants can effectively protect the active edges of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)from dissolved oxygen,and greatly improve the oxidation resistance of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)nanosheets,with no signif-icant changes in morphology and physical phase after long-term placement.(AgPNPs)_(x)T formed un-derwater oleophobic interfaces with the hierarchical structure on polyurethane(PU)sponge to prepare(AgPNPs)_(x)T@PU separation sponges.Among them,(AgPNPs)_(0.5)T@PU sponge showed the highest compre-hensive performance with separation efficiency higher than 99.6%for various oil-water mixtures,espe-cially high-throughput and permeation flux up to 247,787 L m^(-2)h^(-1)for cyclohexane-water mixtures.In addition,nano-AgPNPs greatly broadened the layer spacing of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)and can form a functionalized in-terface of modified Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)on polyamide(PA)membrane and provide additional permeation channels,which enabled the(AgPNPs)_(0.5)T@PA membrane to have excellent toluene-water emulsion separation effi-ciency up to 99.6%.

文摘Herein,a new type of two-dimensional(2D)/2D Ti_(3)C_(2)/TiO_(2) heterojunction was developed for efficient photocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction(NRR),in which TiO_(2) nanosheets(TiO_(2) Ns)were designed as the main catalyst,while Ti_(3)C_(2) MXene served as the co-catalyst.Experimental and theoretical results revealed that Ti_(3)C_(2) MXene introduced electron-rich unsaturated Ti sites,serving as highly active sites for both the adsorption and activation of N_(2) on the Ti_(3)C_(2)/TiO_(2) heterojunction.Furthermore,the 2D/2D Ti_(3)C_(2)/TiO_(2) heterostructure greatly promoted the directional separation and transfer of charge carriers,facilitated by the internal electric field.This structural feature enabled the spatial separation of the N_(2) reduction and H2 O oxidation half-reactions on the distinct surfaces of Ti_(3)C_(2)(001)and TiO_(2)(001),con-sequently reducing the reaction energy barrier for each respective process.The synergistic effects arising from the interface and surface interactions within the heterojunction conspicuously improved the photo-catalytic NRR activity.As a result,the optimized Ti_(3)C_(2)/TiO_(2) heterojunction exhibited a high NH_(3) produc-tion rate of 24.4μmol g−1 h−1 in the absence of sacrificial agents,representing a remarkable 12.8-fold increase compared to individual TiO_(2) Ns.This work provides new insights into rational design of high-performance heterogeneous photocatalysts and offers a deeper understanding of the mechanism under-lying surface active sites in the photocatalytic NRR process.
文摘The biodegradable polymer demonstrates significant potential for addressing the critical environmental challenges associated with oil spills;however, the cellular film structure and hydrophobic characteristics of the polymer restrict their efficacy. In this study, a biodegradable thin membrane composed of a blend of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and poly(caprolactone) (PCL) was fabricated utilizing the electrospinning technique. The membrane exhibited an adsorption capacity for cooking oil of 10.8 g/g, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed the anticipated chemical structures, revealing no evidence of chemical interactions between PHBV and PCL. This research presents an environmentally friendly and straightforward approach for fabricating biodegradable membrane structure with exceptional oil-water separation capabilities.

文摘2,3-disulfanylbutanedioic acid（DMSA） was found to be a selective depressant in the flotation separation of coppermolybdenum sulfides.The flotation results suggest that a low dosage of DMSA has a strong depression effect on chalcopyrite in the p H range between 4 and 12.At p H 6,the recoveries of molybdenum are up to 85%,75%,and 80% while those of chalcopyrite are 15%,5%,and 20% respectively when flotation tests are carried out with single minerals,mixed minerals and molybdenum-bearing copper concentrates.Adsorption isotherms measurement indicates that DMSA adsorbs more strongly on chalcopyrite than on molybdenite.The frontier orbital calculation reveals that the two S atoms of DMSA molecule are active centers for the adsorption of the DMSA molecule on chalcopyrite surface.Fermi level calculation shows that chalcopyrite can obtain electrons from the DMSA molecule while molybdenite cannot.

文摘Photocatalysis. which utilizes solar energy to trigger chemical reactions, is one of the most desirable solar-energy-conversion approaches. Graphitic carbon nitride （g-C3N4）. as an attractive metal-free photocatalyst, has drawn worldwide research interest in the area of solar energy conversion due to its easy synthesis, earth-abundant nature, physicochemical stability and visible-light-responsive properties. Over the past ten years, g-C3N4 based photocatalysts have experienced intensive exploration, and great progress has been achieved. However, the solar conversion efficiency is still far from industrial applications due to the wide bandgap, severe charge recombination, and lack of surface active sites. Many strategies have been proposed to enhance the light absorption, reduce the recombination of charge carriers and accelerate the surface kinetics. This work makes a crucial review about the main contributions of various strategies to the light harvesting, charge separation and surface kinetics of g-C3N4 photocatalyst. Furthermore, the evaluation measurements for the enhanced light harvesting, reduced charge recombination and accelerated surface kinetics will be discussed. In addition, this review proposes future trends to enhance the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4 photocatalyst for the solar energy conversion.

文摘Heterostructured photocatalysts provide an effective way to achieve enhanced photocatalytic performances through efficient charge separation.Although both wide-and narrow-band-gap photocatalysts have been widely investigated,the charge separation and transfer mechanism at the contacting interface of the two has not been fully revealed.Here,a novel SrTiO3/BiOI(STB)heterostructured photocatalyst was successfully fabricated by using a facile method.The heterostructure in the photocatalyst extends the photoabsorption to the visible light range,and thus,high photocatalytic NO removal performance can be achieved under visible light irradiation.A combination of experimental and theoretical evidences indicated that the photogenerated electrons from the BiOI semiconductor can directly transfer to the SrTiO3 surface through a preformed electron delivery channel.Enhanced electron transfer was expected between the SrTiO3 and BiOI surfaces under light irradiation,and leads to efficient ROS generation and thus a high NO conversion rate.Moreover,in situ diffused reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy revealed that STB can better inhibit the accumulation of the toxic intermediate NO2 and catalyze the NO oxidation more effectively.This work presents a new insight into the mechanism of the interfacial charge separation in heterostructures and provides a simple strategy to promote the photocatalytic technology for efficient and safe air purification.

文摘A new approach was suggested in present work for improving the separation between Pr(Ⅲ) and Nd(Ⅲ)by a so-called kinetic "push and pull" system consisting of [A336][NO3] and DTPA in a column extractor.It is revealed that,when organic extractant [A336][NO3] is continuously pumped into the column extractor in the form of dispersed oil droplets and at the same time DTPA was injected into the aqueous feed solution whet the extraction was just started,the separatiot factor of Pr(Ⅲ) to Nd(Ⅲ),βPr/Nd,increased obviously with the time,and could even achieve 21.7.Such an amazing increase in βPr/Nd value might be due to the extraction rate of Pr(Ⅲ) by [A336][NO3] oil droplets being faster than that of Nd(Ⅲ),while the complexing rate of Nd(Ⅲ) with DTPA in the aqueous solutions being faster than that of Pr(III).The opposite order of the two rates for Pr(Ⅲ) and Nd(Ⅲ) result in their kinetic "push and pull" separation.In contrast,the βPr/Nd value in traditional thermodynamic separation reported in previous literatures is only around 5 or even less,even though using the same extractant [A336][NO3] and DTPA but by previously adding DTPA into the aqueous feed solutions for pre-complexing of Pr(Ⅲ) and Nd(Ⅲ).Various effects from the pH and addition amount of DTPA aqueous solutions,LiNO3 concentrations in initial aqueous feed solutions,the initial concentration ratios of Pr(Ⅲ) to Nd(Ⅲ) ions,the initial pH of aqueous feed solutions,and the concentrations of [A336][NO3] in organic phases,on the kinetic separatiot of Pr(Ⅲ) and Nd(Ⅲ) are discussed.The present work highlights a promising approach for separation of rare earths or other targets with extreme similarity in physicochemical properties.

文摘To further improve the charge separation and photocatalytic activities of g-C3N4 and CdMoO4 under visible light irradiation,CdMoO4/g-C3N4 composites were rationally synthesized by a facile precipitation-calcination procedure.The crystal phases,morphologies,chemical compositions,textural structures,and optical properties of the as-prepared composites were characterized by the corresponding analytical techniques.The photocatalytic activities toward degradation of rhodamine B solution were evaluated under visible light irradiation.The results revealed that integrating CdMoO4 with g-C3N4 could remarkably improve the charge separation and photocatalytic activity,compared with those of pristine g-C3N4 and CdMoO4.This would be because the CdMoO4/g-C3N4 composites could facilitate the transfer and separation of the photoexcited electron-hole pairs,which was confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,transient photocurrent responses,and photoluminescence measurements.Moreover,active species trapping experiments demonstrated that holes(h+)and superoxide radicals(?O2?)were the main active species during the photocatalytic reaction.A possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed on the basis of the energy band structures determined by Mott-Schottky tests.This work would provide further insights into the rational fabrication of composites for organic contaminant removal.
文摘The mutual separation characteristics were investigated for the neighboring Sm, Eu and Gd from their ternary oxide mixture Sm 2O 3 Eu 2O 3 Gd 2O 3 by a stepwise chlorination chemical vapor transport reaction within 6 h using AlCl 3 as complex former. The rare earth chlorides were more readily transported and concentrated in the middle temperature range of 980～1100 K and the transport efficiency was in the order of Sm≈Gd>Eu. The separation factor, expressed as molar ratio for the resulting chlorides, was 1 70 for Eu∶Sm, 1 88 for Eu∶Gd, 1 24 for Sm∶Gd in the higher temperature region, and 2 76 for Sm∶Eu, 2 83 for Gd∶Eu and 1 12 for Gd∶Sm in the lower temperature region, respectively. All results are much higher than those of the conventional wet process.

文摘A novel carbon-rich g-C_(3)N_(4) nanosheets with large surface area was prepared by facile thermal polymerization method using urea and 1,3,5-cyclohexanetriol.Plenty of carbon-rich functional groups were introduced into the surface layers of g-C_(3)N_(4),which constructed the built-in electric field(BIEF)and resulted in improved charge separation;therefore,the carbon-rich g-C_(3)N_(4) displayed superior photocatalytic activity for amoxicillin degradation under solar light.The contaminant degradation mechanism was proposed based on radical quenching experiments,intermediates analysis and density functional theory(DFT)calculation.Moreover,the reusing experiments showed the high stability of the material,and the amoxicillin degradation under various water matrix parameters indicated its high applicability on pollutants treatment,all of which demonstrated its high engineering application potentials.

文摘In order to reduce the greenhouse effect caused by the rapid increase of CO_(2)concentration in the atmosphere,it is necessary to develop more efficient,controllable,and highly sensitive adsorbing materials.In this study,the adsorption behavior of CO_(2)on BC_(3)nanosheets under an external electric field was explored based on density functional theory(DFT).It was found that CO_(2)experienced a transition from physisorption to chemisorption in the electric field range of 0.0060-0.0065 a.u..In addition,the adsorption/desorption of CO_(2)is reversible and can be precisely controlled by switching on/off at the electric field of 0.0065 a.u..The selective adsorption of CO_(2)/H_(2)/CH_(4)by BC_(3)can also be used to realize gas separation and purification under different electric fields.This study highlighted the potential application of BC_(3)nanosheets as a high-performance,controllable material for CO_(2)capture,regeneration,and separation in an electric field.

文摘In order to investigate the effect of the La2O3 on the phase separation and crystallization of ZnO-B2O3-SiO2 glass, after the occurence of the phase separation and crystallization of glasses by heat treatment, the microstructure morphology and distribution of elements in different sample areas were characterized by the scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS);the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of the glass samples was studied by using a differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) and the precipitated crystals of crystallized glass were determined by the X-ray diffraction(XRD). The results suggest that the phase separation and crystallization of 60ZnO-30 B2O3-10SiO2 glass occur at glass surface, and the incorporation of small amount(<4 mol%) of La2O3 significantly inhibits the glass phase separation and consequently improves the thermal stability of glass.Doping of La2O3 accelerates the glass crystallization at the elevated temperature(660 ℃), making the depth of crystal layer thicker and diffraction intensity in XRD patterns stronger. However, due to the precipitation of several crystals that occur simultaneously when La2O3 doping amount is 4 mol%, crystallization of the 60ZnO-30B2O3-10SiO2 glass is obviously depressed, the crystallization activation energy Ec and the relative crystallinity Xc of the glass reach the maximum and the minimum values, respectively.Although transition from one-dimensional growth of crystals to two-dimensional growth of crystals results from La2O3 addition, the one-dimensional growth of crystals remains dominant in crystallization process. This work can provide some useful information for preparing glass ceramics with nano-crystals precipitated in the glass surface.

文摘The separation of Eu^3 ＋is studied with a dispersion combined liquid membrane（DCLM）,in which polyvinylidene fluoride membrane（PVDF）is used as the liquid membrane support,dispersion solution containing HCl solution as the stripping solution,and 2-ethyl hexyl phosphonic acid-mono-2-ethyl hexyl ester（P507）dissolved in kerosene as the membrane solution.The effects of pH value,initial concentration of Eu3 ＋and different ionic strength in the feed phase,volume ratio of membrane solution to stripping solution,concentration of HCl solution, concentration of carrier,different stripping agents in the dispersion phase on the separation are investigated.The optimum condition for separation of Eu3 ＋is that concentration of HCl solution is 4.0 mol·L 1,concentration of carrier is 0.16 mol·L 1,and volume ratio of membrane solution to stripping solution is 30︰30 in the dispersion phase, and pH value is 4.2 in the feed phase.The ionic strength has no significant effect on separation of Eu3 ＋.Under the optimum condition,when the initial concentration of Eu3 ＋is 0.8×10 4mol·L 1,the separation percentage of Eu 3＋is 95.3%during the separation time of 130 min.The kinetic equation is developed in terms of the law of mass diffusion and the theory of interface chemistry.The diffusion coefficient of Eu3 ＋in the membrane and the thickness of diffusion layer between feed phase and membrane phase are obtained and their values are 1.48×10 7m 2·s 1and 36.6μm,respectively.The results obtained are in good agreement with literature data.

文摘Membrane technology has been used for H_2 purification. In this paper, the systematic density functional simulations are conducted to study the separation of H_2 from the impurity gases(H_2, N_2, H_2 O, CO, Cl_2, and CH_4) by the bilayer porous graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_3 N_4) membrane. Theoretically, the bilayer g-C3 N4 membrane with a diameter of about3.25 A? should be a perfect candidate for H_2 purification from these mixed gases, which is verified by the high selectivity(S) for H_2 over other kinds of gases(3.43 × 1028 for H_2/N2; 1.40 × 1028 for H_262/H_2 O; 1.60 × 10 for H_2/CO; 4.30 × 10^(14) for H_2/Cl_2; 2.50 × 10^(55) for H_2/CH_4), and the permeance(P) of H_2(13 mol/m^2·s·Pa) across the bilayer g-C_3 N_4 membrane at 300 K, which should be of great potential in energy and environmental research. Our studies highlight a new approach towards the final goal of high P and high S molecular-sieving membranes used in simple structural engineering.
