The ZNLR contained approximately 35.99% Zn, 15.93% Fe and 0.26% Cd, and Cd mainly existed as ferrites in the ZNLR in this research. Reductive acid leaching of ZNLR was investigated. The effects of hydrazine sulfate concentration, initial sulfuric acid concentration, temperature, duration and liquid-to-solid ratio on the extraction of Cd, Zn and Fe were examined. The extraction efficiencies of Cd, Zn and Fe reached 90.81%, 95.83% and 94.19%, respectively when the leaching parameters were fixed as follows： hydrazine sulfate concentration, 33.3 g/L; sulfuric acid concentration, 80 g/L; temperature, 95 °C; duration of leaching, 120 min; liquid-to-solid ratio, 10 m L/g and agitation, 400 r/min. XRD and SEM-EDS analyses of the leaching residue confirmed that lead sulfate（Pb SO4） and hydrazinium zinc sulfate（（N2H5）2Zn（SO4）2） were the main phases remaining in the reductive leaching residue.展开更多

The products were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR methods and confirmed to be N,N＇-diaryl adipyl dihydrazine.

The yields are high up to 92% under mild reaction conditions. According to the previous reports, this reduction process was attributed to an indirect reduction mechanism through an intermediate diimide.展开更多

The mixture of de-ionized water and ethanol was used as the reaction solvent and hydrazine hydrate as reducing agents. The morphology and properties of Ni nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffractometer(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM). It was found that the magnetic field strength, concentration of Ni ions,reaction time and temperature as well as p H values played key roles on formation, microstructures and magnetic properties of Ni nanowires. The optimal wires have diameter of ~200 nm and length up to ~200 μm. And their coercivity is ~260 Oe, which is much larger than the commercial Ni powders of 31 Oe. This work presents a simple, low-cost, environment-friendly and large-scale production approach to fabricate one-dimensional magnetic materials. The resulting materials may have potential applications in conductive filters, magnetic sensors and catalytic agents.展开更多

The selective deprotection of the ester group of the probe by hydrazine led to a prominent enhancement of fluorescent intensity, as well as a remarkable color change from colorless to pink, which could be distinguished by naked eye. The fluorescence enhancement showed decent linear relationship with hydrazine concentration ranging from 0 to 50 mmol/L, with a detection limit of 0.84 mmol/L. The specificity of RTP-1 for hydrazine to a number of metal ions, anions and amines is satisfactory. The sensing mechanism of RTP-1 and hydrazine was evaluated by HPLC, ESI mass spectrometry and density functional theory（DFT）.Moreover, we have utilized this fluorescent probe for imaging hydrazine in living cells, and the fluorescence was clearly observed when the cells were incubated with hydrazine（100 mmol/L） for 30 min.展开更多

文摘Chemical hydrogen storage technology is crucial for the widespread use of hydrogen,with significant research progress being made in hydrazine hydrate(N_(2)H_(4)·H_(2)O).However,the efficient decomposition of N_(2)H_(4)·H_(2)O remains a major challenge,hindered by dynamic constraints.To address this,we prepared NiPt nanoparticles deposited onto urchin-like TiO_(2)(u-TiO_(2))using the impregnation-reduction method,resulting in the NiPt/u-TiO_(2)catalyst.Remarkably,the Ni0.5Pt0.5/u-TiO_(2)catalyst demonstrated 100%H_(2)selectivity,ultrahigh catalytic activity and remarkable durability for N_(2)H_(4)·H_(2)O dehydrogenation,with a turnover frequency(TOF)of115.8 min^(-1),surpassing that of the corresponding NiPt/commercial TiO_(2)(c-TiO_(2)).Characterization and experimental findings suggest that the remarkable activity may originate from the unique urchin-like structure of the catalyst,along with the synergistic interaction between NiPt metals and the support.This research opens new avenues for designing nanomaterials with morphology advantages for hydrogen evolution reaction.

文摘Controllable hydrogen production via the catalytic decomposition of hydrous hydrazine(N_(2)H_(4)·H_(2)O)holds significant promise for mobile and portable applications.However,current catalysts suffer from unsatisfactory reaction activity and hydrogen(H2)selectivity.Based on the unique redox properties of CeO_(2),this article aims to enhance the thermal catalytic performance for the decomposition of N_(2)H_(4)·H_(2)O by improving metal-support interactions between the TiCeO_(2)and NiPt active components.Meanwhile,the sea urchin-like TiCeO_(2)support,which is more conducive to the dispersion of the NiPt nanoparticles and provides more reactive sites for the reaction,was used to immobilize Ni-Pt into the NixPt1-x/TiCeO_(2)sample using the impregnation-reduction method.By modulating Ce doping and the Ni-Pt molar ratio,samples with different Ni-Pt compositions were synthesized.The optimal Ni0.5Pt0.5/TiCeO_(2)(nNi:nPt=1)shows the highest catalytic performance compared with the other samples,with a TOF(turnover frequency)of 212.58 min-1and 100%hydrogen selectivity at 323 K.Furthermore,the hydrogen selectivity remains 100%after six cycles.This remarkable activity and stability provide valuable insights and encouragement for accelerating the practical application of N_(2)H_(4)·H_(2)O as a viable hydrogen carrier.

文摘Sustainable H_(2) production based on hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) has attracted wide attention due to minimal energy consumption compared to overall water electrolysis.The present study focuses on the design and construction of heterostructured CoPB@NiFe-OH applied as efficient bifunctional catalysts to sustainably produce hydrogen and remove hydrazine in alkaline media.Impressively,CoPB@NiFe-OH heterointerface exhibits an HzOR potential of-135 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm^(2) when the P to B atom ratio was 0.2,simultaneously an HER potential of-32 mV toward HER when the atom ratio of P and B was 0.5.Thus,hydrogen production without an outer voltage accompanied by a small current density output of 25 mA cm^(2) is achieved,surpassing most reported catalysts.In addition,DFT calculations demonstrate the Co sites in CoPB upgrades H*adsorption,while the Ni sites in NiFe-OH optimizes the adsorption energy of N_(2)H_(4)*due to electron transfer from CoPB to NiFe-OH at the heterointerface,ultimately leading to exceptional performance in hydrazine-assistant water electrolysis via HER coupled with HzOR.

文摘Zinc neutral leaching residue（ZNLR） from hydrometallurgical zinc smelting processing can be determined as hazardous intermediate containing considerable amounts of Cd and Zn which have great threats to the environment. The ZNLR contained approximately 35.99% Zn, 15.93% Fe and 0.26% Cd, and Cd mainly existed as ferrites in the ZNLR in this research. Reductive acid leaching of ZNLR was investigated. The effects of hydrazine sulfate concentration, initial sulfuric acid concentration, temperature, duration and liquid-to-solid ratio on the extraction of Cd, Zn and Fe were examined. The extraction efficiencies of Cd, Zn and Fe reached 90.81%, 95.83% and 94.19%, respectively when the leaching parameters were fixed as follows： hydrazine sulfate concentration, 33.3 g/L; sulfuric acid concentration, 80 g/L; temperature, 95 °C; duration of leaching, 120 min; liquid-to-solid ratio, 10 m L/g and agitation, 400 r/min. XRD and SEM-EDS analyses of the leaching residue confirmed that lead sulfate（Pb SO4） and hydrazinium zinc sulfate（（N2H5）2Zn（SO4）2） were the main phases remaining in the reductive leaching residue.

文摘Developing efficient and highly selective catalyst to promote hydrogen generation from hydrous hydrazine(N_(2)H_(4)·H_(2)O) and hydrazine borane(N_(2)H_(4)BH_(3))remains a challenging issue for fuel cell-based hydrogen economy.In this work,ultrafine and well-dispersed bimetallic NiPt nanoparticles(3.4 nm) were successfully immobilized on Y_(2)O_(3)-functionalized graphene(Y_(2)O_(3)/rGO) without any surfactant by a simple liquid impregnation approach.It is firstly found that integration of graphene and Y_(2)O_(3) not only can facilitate the formation of ultrafine NiPt nanoparticles(NPs),but also can effectively modulate the electronic structure of NiPt NPs,thereby boosting the catalytic performance.Compared with NiPt/Y_(2)O_(3) and NiPt/rGO,the NiPt/Y_(2)O_(3)/rGO nanocomposites(NCs) show remarkable enhanced catalytic efficiency for hydrogen production from N_(2)H_(4)-H_(2)O.In particular,the optimized Ni_(0.6)Pt_(0.4/)Y_(2)O_(3)/rGO NCs display the best catalytic efficiency and 100% H_(2) selectivity for N_(2)H_(4)-H_(2)O dehydrogenation,providing a turnover frequency(TOF) of2182 h^(-1) at 323 K,which is among the highest values ever reported.Moreover,the Ni_(0.6)Pt_(0.4)/Y_(2)O_(3)/rGO NCs also exhibit an excellent catalytic performance(TOF=3191 h^(-1)) and 100% H_(2) selectively for N_(2)H_(4)BH_(3)dehydrogenation at 323 K.The outstanding catalytic results obtained provide more possibilities for the potential applications of N_(2)H_(4)·H_(2)O and N_(2)H_(4)BH_(3) as promising chemical hydrogen storage materials.

文摘Optimizing the structure and components is a prevalent strategy for increasing electrocatalytic energy-saving H 2 fuel production.One of the sustainable and efficient techniques is electrocatalytic water split-ting for H 2 generation,but it is still restricted by the kinetically sluggish OER.Due to the lower standard oxidation potential of−0.33 V,replacing the OER with anodic hydrazine oxidation reaction(HzOR)is an effective way to extensively reduce the use of electricity in water electrolysis.Through alloying,the semiconductor and adsorption characteristics of Cu,interlaced by Pd 2+solution on the Pd surface by pulsed laser ablation(PLA)in methanol,are selectively altered to maximize cathodic HER and anodic HzOR performance.The optimal Cu1Pd3/C ratio demonstrates outstanding HER performance with a low overpotential of 0.315 V at 10 mA cm^(−2),as well as an ultralow overpotential of 0.560 V for HzOR in 0.5 M N_(2) H_(4)/1.0 M KOH.Furthermore,the constructed HzOR-assisted electrolyzer cell with Cu1Pd3/C||Cu1Pd3/C as anode and cathode exhibits a cell voltage of 0.505 V at 10 mA cm^(−2) with exceptional en-durance over 5 h.The current study advances competent CuPd alloys as multifunctional electrocatalysts for H 2 fuel production using a HzOR-assisted energy-efficient electrolyzer.
文摘Better understanding of electrochemical reaction behaviors of hydrazine electrooxidation at metal phosphides has long been desired and the optimization of reaction kinetics has been proved to be operable.Herein,the dehydrogenation kinetics of hydrazine electrooxidation at Ni_(2)P is adjusted by Co as the(Ni_(0.6)Co_(0.4))_(2)P catalyzes HzOR effectively with onset potential of–45 mV and only 113 mV is needed to drive the current density of 50 mA cm^(‒2),showing over 60 mV lower than Ni_(2)P and Co_(2)P.It also delivers the maximum power density of 263.0 mW cm^(-2) for direct hydrazine fuel cell.Detailed experimental results revealed that Co doping not only decreases the adsorption energy of N_(2)H_(4) on Ni sites,lowering the energy barrier for dehydrogenation,but also acts as the active sites in the optimal reaction coordination to boost the reaction kinetics.This work represents a breakthrough in improving the catalytic performance of non‐precious metal electrocatalysts for hydrazine electrooxidation and highlights an energy‐saving electrochemical hydrogen production method.
文摘Due to the properties and high reactivity of hydrazine,it is mainly used as rocket fuel not only in its pure form but also in combination with 1,1-dimethylhydrazine and oxidizers(nitrogen tetroxide or nitric acid)forming a self-igniting mixture with oxidizers.Aerozine 50 and UH 25(a mixture of 75%UDMH(unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine)and 25%hydrazine hydrate)are the best-known hydrazine mixtures with different hydrazine concentrations.The review addresses the use of hydrazine and its derivatives as fuel.Hydrazine is employed in fuel cells(with air oxygen as an oxidizer)to generate electrochemical energy for transport vehicles.Hydrazine is widely used as monopropellant to design low-thrust rocket engines for orientation and stabilization systems in space vehicles,as well as in energy units.The review also addresses such hydrazine derivatives as methylhydrazine,1,1-dimethylhydrazine,hydrazine monoperchlorate,hydrazine diperchlorate,hydrazine diammonium tetraperchlorate,hydrazine mononitrate,hydrazine dinitrate,hydrazine nitroformate,hydrazine azides,tetrafluorohydrazine,etc.as well as composite propellants,and gel rocket propellants based on hydrazine.The materials in the review can be used as reference information on hydrazine fuels.

文摘Reduction of a series of N,N＇-diaryl adipyl bis-azo compounds using hydrazine hydrate as reductant was investigated. The products were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR methods and confirmed to be N,N＇-diaryl adipyl dihydrazine. The results show that hydrazine hydrate can selectively reduce azo bonds with other potential reducible bonds intact in the N,N＇-diaryl adipyl bis-azo compounds. The yields are high up to 92% under mild reaction conditions. According to the previous reports, this reduction process was attributed to an indirect reduction mechanism through an intermediate diimide.

文摘Hydrazine-assisted water electrolysis is a promising energy conversion technology for highly efficient hydrogen production.Rational design of bifunctional electrocatalysts,which can simultaneously accelerate hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)/hydrazine oxidation reaction(HzOR)kinetics,is the key step.Herein,we demonstrate the development of ultrathin P/Fe co-doped NiSe_(2) nanosheets supported on modified Ni foam(P/Fe-NiSe_(2)) synthesized through a facile electrodeposition process and subsequent heat treatment.Based on electrochemical measurements,characterizations,and density functional theory calculations,a favorable“2+2”reaction mechanism with a two-step HER process and a two-step HzOR step was fully proved and the specific effect of P doping on HzOR kinetics was investigated.P/Fe-NiSe_(2) thus yields an impressive electrocatalytic performance,delivering a high current density of 100 mA cm^(−2) with potentials of−168 and 200 mV for HER and HzOR,respectively.Additionally,P/Fe-NiSe_(2) can work efficiently for hydrazine-assisted water electrolysis and Zn-Hydrazine(Zn-Hz)battery,making it promising for practical application.

文摘One-dimensional Ni nanostructures were synthesized via a hydrazine reduction route under external magnetic fields. The mixture of de-ionized water and ethanol was used as the reaction solvent and hydrazine hydrate as reducing agents. The morphology and properties of Ni nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffractometer(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM). It was found that the magnetic field strength, concentration of Ni ions,reaction time and temperature as well as p H values played key roles on formation, microstructures and magnetic properties of Ni nanowires. The optimal wires have diameter of ~200 nm and length up to ~200 μm. And their coercivity is ~260 Oe, which is much larger than the commercial Ni powders of 31 Oe. This work presents a simple, low-cost, environment-friendly and large-scale production approach to fabricate one-dimensional magnetic materials. The resulting materials may have potential applications in conductive filters, magnetic sensors and catalytic agents.

文摘In this study, a resorufin derivative RTP-1, which is a novel fluorescent ‘‘turn-on＇＇ probe for sensitive detection of hydrazine within 30 min, is designed and synthesized. The selective deprotection of the ester group of the probe by hydrazine led to a prominent enhancement of fluorescent intensity, as well as a remarkable color change from colorless to pink, which could be distinguished by naked eye. The fluorescence enhancement showed decent linear relationship with hydrazine concentration ranging from 0 to 50 mmol/L, with a detection limit of 0.84 mmol/L. The specificity of RTP-1 for hydrazine to a number of metal ions, anions and amines is satisfactory. The sensing mechanism of RTP-1 and hydrazine was evaluated by HPLC, ESI mass spectrometry and density functional theory（DFT）.Moreover, we have utilized this fluorescent probe for imaging hydrazine in living cells, and the fluorescence was clearly observed when the cells were incubated with hydrazine（100 mmol/L） for 30 min.

文摘Aluminium hydroxide precipitation from synthetic sodium aluminate solution was studied in the presence of hydrazine or hydrogen peroxide. The addition of low concentration of hydrazine is found to be effective, while higher amount of hydrogen peroxide is required to generate similar effect. XRD data confirm the product phase to be gibbsitic by nature. The scanning electron micrographs （SEM） show that agglomerated products form in the presence of hydrazine while fine discrete particles are produced with hydrogen peroxide. The probable mechanism of precipitation in the presence of hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide is also discussed.
