文摘This study systematically explored the oxidation behavior of a Ni-10Cr alloy without and with surface spraying hexagonal closed pack(hcp)-structuredα-Al_(2)O_(3)or α-Fe_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles.Despite the distinct equilibrium dissociation oxygen partial pressure of the two kinds of oxide nanoparticles,they both contributed to the selective oxidation of Ni-10Cr alloy,achieving the transition from internal Cr oxidation to external Cr_(2)O_(3)scale formation.Nano-scaled characterization indicates that a coherent interface was developed between the newly grown Cr_(2)O_(3)grains and the hcp-structured oxide nanoparticles,whereby promoting epitaxial Cr_(2)O_(3)nucleation surrounding the nanoparticles and kinetically accelerating the formation of a continuous Cr_(2)O_(3)scale at the transient oxidation stage.The findings provide new insights into the selective oxidation mechanism of alloys with low Cr contents.

文摘This study presents a novel approach to improving the anticorrosive performance of AZ31 Mg alloy by exploiting the role of the hydration reaction to induce interactions between Quinolin-8-ol(8HQ)molecules and the porous MgO layer formed via plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO).The AZ31 Mg alloy,initially coated with a PEO layer,underwent a dipping treatment in an ethanolic solution of 0.05 M 8HQ at 50℃ for 3 h.The results were compared with those from a different procedure where the PEO layer was subjected to a hydration reaction for 2 h at 90℃ before immersion in the 8HQ solution under the same conditions.The hydration treatment played a crucial role by converting MgO to Mg(OH)_(2),significantly enhancing the surface reactivity.This transformation introduced hydroxyl groups(−OH)on the surface,which facilitated donor-acceptor interactions with the electron-accepting sites on 8HQ molecules.The calculated binding energy(Ebinding)from DFT indicated that the interaction energy of 8HQ with Mg(OH)_(2) was lower compared to 8HQ with MgO,suggesting easier adsorption of 8HQ molecules on the hydrated surface.This,combined with the increased number of active sites and enhanced surface area,allowed for extensive surface coverage by 8HQ,leading to the formation of a stable,flake-like protective layer that sealed the majority of pores on the PEO layer.DFT calculations further suggested that the hydration treatment provided multiple active sites,enabling effective contact with 8HQ and rapid electron transfer,creating ideal conditions for charge-transfer-induced physical and chemical bonding.This study shows that hydration and 8HQ treatments significantly enhance the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys,highlighting their potential for advanced anticorrosive coatings.

文摘Alloying and interface effects are effective strategies for enhancing the performance of electrocatalysts in energy-related devices.Herein,dendritic Au-doped platinum-palladium alloy/dumbbell-like bismuth telluride heterostructures(denoted PtPdAu/BiTe)were synthesized using a visible-light-assisted strategy.The coupling alloy and interfacial effects of PtPdAu/BiTe significantly improved the performance and stability of both the ethanol oxidation reaction(EOR)and methanol oxidation reaction(MOR).Introducing a small amount of Au effectively enhanced the CO tolerance of PtPdAu/BiTe compared to dendritic platinum-palladium alloy/dumbbell-like bismuth telluride heterostructures.PtPdAu/BiTe exhibited mass activities of 31.5 and 13.3 A·mg_(Pt)^(-1)in EOR and MOR,respectively,which were 34.4 and 13.2 times higher than those of commercial Pt black,revealing efficient Pt atom utilization.In-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated complete 12e^(-)and 6e^(-)oxidation of ethanol and methanol on PtPdAu/BiTe.The PtPdAu/BiTe/C achieved mass peak power densities of 131 and 156 mW·mg_(Pt)^(-1),which were 2.4 and 2.2 times higher than those of Pt/C in practical direct ethanol fuel cell(DEFC)and direct methanol fuel cell(DMFC),respectively,highlighting their potential application in DEFC and DMFC.This study introduces an effective strategy for designing efficient and highly CO tolerant anodic electrocatalysts for practical DEFC and DMFC applications.

文摘Unraveling the essence of electronic structure effected by d-d orbital coupling of transition metal and methanol oxidation reaction(MOR)performance can fundamentally guide high efficient catalyst design.Herein,density functional theory(DFT)calculations were performed at first to study the d–d orbital interaction of metallic Pt Pd Cu,revealing that the incorporation of Pd and Cu atoms into Pt system can enhance d-d electron interaction via capturing antibonding orbital electrons of Pt to fill the surrounding Pd and Cu atoms.Under the theoretical guidance,Pt Pd Cu medium entropy alloy aerogels(Pt Pd Cu MEAAs)catalysts have been designed and systematically screened for MOR under acid,alkaline and neutral electrolyte.Furthermore,DFT calculation and in-situ fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis indicate that Pt Pd Cu MEAAs follow the direct pathway via formate as the reactive intermediate to be directly oxidized to CO_(2).For practical direct methanol fuel cells(DMFCs),the Pt Pd Cu MEAAs-integrated ultra-thin catalyst layer(4–5μm thickness)as anode exhibits higher peak power density of 35 m W/cm^(2) than commercial Pt/C of 20 m W/cm^(2)(~40μm thickness)under the similar noble metal loading and an impressive stability retention at a 50-m A/cm^(2) constant current for 10 h.This work clearly proves that optimizing the intermediate adsorption capacity via d-d orbital coupling is an effective strategy to design highly efficient catalysts for DMFCs.

文摘To efficiently diminish the Pt consumption while concurrently enhancing the anodic reaction kinetics,a straightforward synthesis for PtPdAg nanotrees(NTs)with exceedingly low Pt content is presented,utilizing the galvanic replacement reaction between the initially prepared PdAg NTs and Pt ions.Due to the multilevel porous tree-like structure and the incorporation of low amounts of Pt,the electrocatalytic activity and stability of PtPdAg NTs are markedly enhanced,achieving 1.65 and 1.69 A·mg^(-1)Pt+Pd for the anodic reactions of formic acid oxidation(FAOR)and methanol oxidation(MOR)within DLFCs,surpassing the performance of PdAg NTs,as well as that of commercial Pt and Pd black.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal that the addition of low amounts of Pt leads to an increase in the d-band center of PtPdAg NTs and lower the COads adsorption energy to-1.23 eV,enhancing the anti-CO toxicity properties optimally.This approach offers an effective means for designing low Pt catalysts as exceptional anodic electrocatalysts for direct liquid fuel cells.

文摘Hexafluoropropylene oxide(HFPO)is a crucial fluorinated chemical mainly synthesized from hexafluoropropylene(HFP)through the oxidation of oxygen.However,the reaction network and kinetic characteristics are not fully understood yet,resulting in a lack of theoretical basis for synthesis process improvement.Here,the free radical reaction mechanism and complete reaction network involved in the noncatalytic oxidation of HFP to synthesize HFPO was explored by density functional theory.Transition state theory was employed to calculate the intrinsic reaction rate constants for elementary reactions.Based on theoretical reaction rate ratios,reaction pathways were selected,and a simplified reaction network was derived.It was found that byproducts were formed owing to the decomposition of HFPO and subsequent reactions with excessive oxygen while oxygen tended to participate more in the main reaction under oxygen-deficient conditions.The variations in reaction pathways occurring at different HFP/oxygen molar ratios was well elucidated by comparing with experimental data.This research establishes a robust theoretical foundation for optimizing and regulating the synthesis of HFPO.

文摘Catalytic oxidation of NO at room temperature was carried out over nitrogen(N)-doped sludge char(SC)prepared from pyrolysis ofmunicipal sewage sludge,and urea was adopted as nitrogen source.The effects of different N-doping methods(one-step and two-step method),dried sludge(DS)/urea mass ratios(5:1,4:1,3:1,2:1,and 1:1),SC preparation procedures(pyrolysis only,pyrolysis with acid washing,and pyrolysis with KOH activation and acid washing),and different pyrolysis temperatures(500,600,700,and 800°C)on the catalytic oxidation of NO were compared to optimize the procedure for SC preparation.The results indicated that N-doping could obviously promote the catalytic performance of SC.The one-step method with simultaneous sludge pyrolysis(at 700°C),KOH activation,and N-doping(DS/urea of 3:1)was the optimal procedure for preparing the N-doped SC with the NO conversion rate of 54.7%,whereas the optimal NO conversion rate of SC without N-doping was only 47.3%.Urea worked both as carbon and nitrogen source,which could increase about 2.9%-16.5%of carbon and 24.8%-42.7%of nitrogen content in SC pyrolyzed at 700°C.N-doping significantly promoted microporosity of SC.The optimal N-doped SC showed specific surface areas of 571.38 m^(2)/g,much higher than 374.34 m^(2)/g of the optimal SC without N-doping.In addition,N-doping also increased amorphousness and surface basicity of SC through the formation of N-containing groups.Finally,three reaction paths,i.e.microporous reactor,active sites,and basic site control path,were proposed to explain the mechanism of N-doping on promoting the catalytic performance of NO.

文摘Oxidation behavior of NiCrAlY nanocrystalline coatings with different Cr contents at 1050 and 1150℃is investigated.The results indicate that Al2O3 scales can be formed on NiCrAlY nanocrystalline coatings after oxidation at high temperature.And their formation and thickening cannot be affected by the change of Cr contents in NiCrAlY coatings.During service,Cr in the coating can affect the microstructure of Ni-based single crystal superalloy.At 1050℃,Cr in the coating can diffuse into the superalloy,destroy its microstructure,and lead to the formation of interdiffusion zone and the precipitation of needle-like topologically closed-packed phase.The higher the Cr content in NiCrAlY the coating is,the more obvious the phenomenon is.However,after oxidation at 1150℃for 100 h,no obvious changes were observed in the microstructure of CMSX-4 single crystal superalloy beneath the three kinds of NiCrAlY nanocrystalline coatings.

文摘The direct oxidation of methane to methanol(DOMM) has been recognized as a significant technology for efficiently utilizing low-concentration coalbed methane(LCMM) and supplying liquid fuel.Herein,the noble metals(Pt,Pd and Ru) modified Cu/alkalized sepiolite(CuX/SEPA) catalysts were prepared and used for the DOMM in a gas-phase system at low temperatures.The CuRu/SEPA exhibited the highest methanol production of 53 μmol·g^(-1)·h^(-1) and methanol selectivity of 90% under the optimal reaction conditions.Various characterizations demonstrated that the addition of Ru promoted the formation of Cu^(2+)and the contraction of Cu—Si/Al bonds to reduce the distance between framework Al atoms of SEPA to further generate more Al pairs,which facilitated the formation of reactive dicopper species([Cu_(2)O]^(2+)or [Cu_(2)O_(2)]^(2+)).Investigation of the reaction mechanism revealed that [Cu_(2)O]^(2+) or [Cu_(2)O_(2)]^(2+) species could adsorb and activate methane to form CH_(3)O^(*) species and ultimately generated methanol with the assistance of water.
文摘Iron-Vanadium(FeV)catalyst showed a unique catalytic activity for the selective oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde;however,due to its complex compositions,the identification of catalytic active sites still remains challenging,inhibiting the rational design of excellent FeV-based catalysts.Here,in this work,a series of FeV catalysts with various compositions,including FeVO_(4),isolated VO_(x),low-polymerized V_(n)O_(x),and crystalline V_(2)O_(5) were prepared by controlling the preparation conditions,and were applied to methanol oxidation to formaldehyde reaction.A FeV_(1.1) catalyst,which consisted of FeVO_(4) and low-polymerized V_(n)O_(x) species showed an excellent catalytic performance with a methanol conversion of 92.3%and a formaldehyde selectivity of 90.6%,which was comparable to that of conventional iron-molybdate catalyst.The results of CH_(3)OH-IR,O_(2) pulse and control experiments revealed a crucial synergistic effect between FeVO_(4) and low-polymerized V_(n)O_(x).It enhanced the oxygen supply capacity and suitable binding and adsorption strengths for formaldehyde intermediates,contributing to the high catalytic activity and formaldehyde selectivity.This study not only advances the understanding of FeV structure but also offers valuable guidelines for selective methanol oxidation to formaldehyde.

文摘In this work,a series of Ce-Ti composite oxides with different Ti/Ce molar ratios was prepared by coprecipitation method,and investigated for the catalytic degradation of toluene and selective catalytic reduction of NO.The phase transition process between Ce species and Ti species is limited by modulating the interaction between Ce4+and Ti4+,while a completely amorphous composite is generated with an appropriate molar ratio of Ti/Ce(1.5/1).The catalyst CeTi1.5Oxexhibits the best catalytic performance,where the values of T90and T50for deep degradation of toluene are 297 and 330℃respectively at high weight hours space velocity(WHSV=120000 mL/(g·h)).Compared with CeO_(2),T90and T50decrease by48 and 34℃respectively while declining by 67 and 70℃compared to TiO_(2).For the SCR reaction,CeTi1.5Oxreaches 100%NO conversion at 250℃with WHSV=60000 mL/(g·h),reduced by 50℃compared to pure CeO_(2).The amorphous nanostructure with highly dispersed Ce and Ti species was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and X-ray diffraction(XRD)characterizations.The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and Raman analyses show that a large number of active Ce-O-Ti species and surface oxygen vacancies are generated due to the strong interaction between Ti^(4+)and Ce^(4+)in CeTi_(1.5)O_(x).Additionally,H_(2)-TPR and O_(2)-TPD further confirm that the interaction promotes the low-temperature reducibility and mobility of surface-active oxygen species.Meanwhile,in-situ DRIFTS study reveals that CeTi1.5Oxwith amorphous nanostructure can dramatically enhance the dissociative and complete oxidation capacity for toluene.
