It was shown that the interfacial structure of Si3N4/TiN/Ti5Si3+Ti5Si4 + Ni3Si/ （NiTi ） /Ni3Ti/ Ni was formed after bonding. The activation energies for TiN layer and the mixed reaction layer of Ti5Si3 + Ti5Si4 + Ni3Si are 546. 8 kJ/mol and 543. 9 kJ/mol, respectively. The formation and transition processes of interface layer sequence in the joint were clarified by diffusion path. An important characteristic, which is different from the conventional brazing and soid-state diffusion bonding, has been found, i. e., during the partial transient liquid-phase bonding, not only the reaction layers which have formed grow, but also the diffusion path in the subsequent reaction changes because of the remarkable variation of the concentration on the metal side.展开更多

文摘The interfacial reactions in partial transient liquid-phase bonding of Si3N4 ceramics with Ti/Ni/Ti interlayers were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, energy dispersive spectrometry （EDS） and X-ray diffractometry （XRD）. It was shown that the interfacial structure of Si3N4/TiN/Ti5Si3+Ti5Si4 + Ni3Si/ （NiTi ） /Ni3Ti/ Ni was formed after bonding. The activation energies for TiN layer and the mixed reaction layer of Ti5Si3 + Ti5Si4 + Ni3Si are 546. 8 kJ/mol and 543. 9 kJ/mol, respectively. The formation and transition processes of interface layer sequence in the joint were clarified by diffusion path. An important characteristic, which is different from the conventional brazing and soid-state diffusion bonding, has been found, i. e., during the partial transient liquid-phase bonding, not only the reaction layers which have formed grow, but also the diffusion path in the subsequent reaction changes because of the remarkable variation of the concentration on the metal side.

文摘During the liquid-phase oxidation of p-xylene,over-oxidation of reactant,intermediates and solvent to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide is generally known as the burning side reaction.Batch and semi-continuous experiments were carried out,and the experimental data of the burning side reaction were analyzed and reported in this paper.The results showed that the rates of burning side reactions were proportional to the rates of the main reaction,but decreased with the increasing concentrations of reactant and intermediates.The inter-stimulative and competitive relationship between the burning side reaction and the main reaction was confirmed,and the rates of the burning side reaction could be described with some key indexes of the main reaction.According to the mechanism of the side reactions and the kinetics model of main reaction which were proposed and tested in the previous papers,a kinetic model of the burning side reactions involving some key indexes of the main reaction was developed,and the parameters were determined by data fitting of the COx rate curves.The obtained kinetic model could describe the burning side reactions adequately.

文摘A comprehensive understanding of the structure and dynamic evolution of catalytic active sites is vital for advancing the study of liquid-phase acetylene hydrochlorination.Here,we successfully developed a Ru-DIPEA/TMS catalyst optimised through systematic composition and condition tuning,demonstrating exceptional performance with 95.5%C_(2)H_(2)conversion and sustaining over 91.1%activity along with nearly 100%selectivity for VCM during a continuous 900-h test.Using a combination of characterisation techniques,including UV–vis spectroscopy,FT-IR spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,singlecrystal X-ray diffraction,and X-ray absorption spectroscopy,along with density functional theory(DFT)calculations,the structure and dynamic behaviour of the active sites were thoroughly investigated under the synergistic influence of ligands and HCl.The results revealed that HCl activation induces a significant structural transformation of the active sites,leading to the formation of a hexacoordinate complex,Ru(CO)_(2)C_(12)(C_(6)H_(15)N·HCl)_(2).DFT calculations further elucidated the mechanism underlying active site formation,revealing that an increased electron density around the Ru centre and corresponding changes in its coordination environment play critical roles in enhancing catalyst stability and activity.This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the structural basis of active site evolution during acetylene hydrochlorination,offering both practical insights into industrial applications and foundational knowledge for advancing liquid-phase catalysis.
文摘The poor electrical conductivity of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)limits their electrocatalytic performance in the oxygen evolution reaction(OER).In this study,a Py@Co-MOF composite material based on pyrene(Py)molecules and{[Co2(BINDI)(DMA)_(2)]·DMA}_(n)(Co-MOF,H4BINDI=N,N'-bis(5-isophthalic acid)naphthalenediimide,DMA=N,N-dimethylacetamide)was synthesized via a one-pot method,leveragingπ-πinteractions between pyrene and Co-MOF to modulate electrical conductivity.Results demonstrate that the Py@Co-MOF catalyst exhibited significantly enhanced OER performance compared to pure Co-MOF or pyrene-based electrodes,achieving an overpotential of 246 mV at a current density of 10 mA·cm^(-2) along with excellent stability.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal that the formation of O*in the second step is the rate-determining step(RDS)during the OER process on Co-MOF,with an energy barrier of 0.85 eV due to the weak adsorption affinity of the OH*intermediate for Co sites.CCDC:2419276.

文摘Against the backdrop of escalating global climate change and energy crises,the resource utilization of carbon dioxide(CO_(2)),a major greenhouse gas,has become a crucial pathway for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.The hydrogenation of CO_(2)to methanol not only enables carbon sequestration and recycling,but also provides a route to produce high value-added fuels and basic chemical feedstocks,holding significant environmental and economic potential.However,this conversion process is thermodynamically and kinetically limited,and traditional catalyst systems(e.g.,Cu/ZnO/Al_(2)O_(3))exhibit inadequate activity,selectivity,and stability under mild conditions.Therefore,the development of novel high-performance catalysts with precisely tunable structures and functionalities is imperative.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs),as crystalline porous materials with high surface area,tunable pore structures,and diverse metal-ligand compositions,have the great potential in CO_(2)hydrogenation catalysis.Their structural design flexibility allows for the construction of well-dispersed active sites,tailored electronic environments,and enhanced metal-support interactions.This review systematically summarizes the recent advances in MOF-based and MOF-derived catalysts for CO_(2)hydrogenation to methanol,focusing on four design strategies:(1)spatial confinement and in situ construction,(2)defect engineering and ion-exchange,(3)bimetallic synergy and hybrid structure design,and(4)MOF-derived nanomaterial synthesis.These approaches significantly improve CO_(2)conversion and methanol selectivity by optimizing metal dispersion,interfacial structures,and reaction pathways.The reaction mechanism is further explored by focusing on the three main reaction pathways:the formate pathway(HCOO*),the RWGS(Reverse Water Gas Shift reaction)+CO*hydrogenation pathway,and the trans-COOH pathway.In situ spectroscopic studies and density functional theory(DFT)calculations elucidate the formation and transformation of key intermediates,as well as the roles of active sites,metal-support interfaces,oxygen vacancies,and promoters.Additionally,representative catalytic performance data for MOFbased systems are compiled and compared,demonstrating their advantages over traditional catalysts in terms of CO_(2)conversion,methanol selectivity,and space-time yield.Future perspectives for MOF-based CO_(2)hydrogenation catalysts will prioritize two main directions:structural design and mechanistic understanding.The precise construction of active sites through multi-metallic synergy,defect engineering,and interfacial electronic modulation should be made to enhance catalyst selectivity and stability.In addition,advanced in situ characterization techniques combined with theoretical modeling are essential to unravel the detailed reaction mechanisms and intermediate behaviors,thereby guiding rational catalyst design.Moreover,to enable industrial application,challenges related to thermal/hydrothermal stability,catalyst recyclability,and cost-effective large-scale synthesis must be addressed.The development of green,scalable preparation methods and the integration of MOF catalysts into practical reaction systems(e.g.,flow reactors)will be crucial for bridging the gap between laboratory research and commercial deployment.Ultimately,multi-scale structure-performance optimization and catalytic system integration will be vital for accelerating the industrialization of MOF-based CO_(2)-to-methanol technologies.

文摘Silica nanoparticles-stabilized cobalt and nitrogen-doped carbon materials were synthesized through pyrolysis of metal-organic-framework of ZIF-67 supported by silica nanoparticles.The experimental results reveal that the introduction of the silica nanoparticles can stabilize the microstructure of the derived CoN-C materials,which in turn exhibits the promising electrocatalytic activity towards both oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions.The optimized sample exhibits a better oxygen reduction activity than commercial Pt/C catalyst as confirmed by the positive shift of half-wave potential by 20 mV while it has a low overpotential of 273 mV for oxygen evolution reactions with the retained performance over 80%after 25,000 s of continuous operation.It is demonstrated that the introduction of support frame might be an effective way to improve the activity and stability of metal-organic-framework derived electrocatalyst with stabilized microstructure.

文摘The sulfation and decomposition process has proven effective in selectively extracting lithium from lepidolite.It is essential to clarify the thermochemical behavior and kinetic parameters of decomposition reactions.Accordingly,comprehensive kinetic study by employing thermalgravimetric analysis at various heating rates was presented in this paper.Two main weight loss regions were observed during heating.The initial region corresponded to the dehydration of crystal water,whereas the subsequent region with overlapping peaks involved complex decomposition reactions.The overlapping peaks were separated into two individual reaction peaks and the activation energy of each peak was calculated using isoconversional kinetics methods.The activation energy of peak 1 exhibited a continual increase as the reaction conversion progressed,while that of peak 2 steadily decreased.The optimal kinetic models,identified as belonging to the random nucleation and subsequent growth category,provided valuable insights into the mechanism of the decomposition reactions.Furthermore,the adjustment factor was introduced to reconstruct the kinetic mechanism models,and the reconstructed models described the kinetic mechanism model more accurately for the decomposition reactions.This study enhanced the understanding of the thermochemical behavior and kinetic parameters of the lepidolite sulfation product decomposition reactions,further providing theoretical basis for promoting the selective extraction of lithium.

文摘Developing catalysts with excellent stability while significantly reducing the overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction(OER) is crucial for advancing overall water splitting(OWS) systems.In this study,we synthesized the electrode material Ce-NiCo-LDHs@SnO_(2)/NF through a two-step hydrothermal reaction,where Ce-doped NiCo-LDHs are grown on nickel foam modified by a SnO_(2) layer.Ce doping adjusts the internal electronic distribution of Ni Co-LDHs,while the introduction of the SnO_(2) layer enhances electron transfer capability.Together,these factors contribute to the reduction of the OER energy barrier and experimental evidence confirms that the reaction proceeds via the lattice oxygen evolution mechanism(LOM).Consequently,Ce-NiCo-LDHs@SnO_(2)/NF exhibits high level electrochemical performance in OER,requiring only 234 m V overpotential to achieve a current density of 10 m A/cm^(2),with a Tafel slope of just 27.39 m V/dec.When paired with Pt/C/NF,an external potential of only 1.54 V is needed to drive OWS to attain a current density amounting to 10 m A/cm^(2).Furthermore,the catalyst demonstrates stability for 100 h during the OWS stability test.This study underscores the feasibility of enhancing the OER performance through Ce doping and the introduction of a conductive SnO_(2) layer.

文摘Developing efficient and durable electrocatalysts for acidic oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is pivotal for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolysis(PEMWEs),yet balancing activity and stability remains a formidable challenge.Herein,we propose a dual-engineering strategy to stabilize Ru-based catalysts by synergizing the oxygen vacancy site-synergized mechanism-lattice oxygen mechanism(OVSM-LOM)with Ru-N bond stabilization.The engineered RuO_(2)@NCC catalyst exhibits exceptional OER performance in 0.5 M H2SO4,achieving an ultralow overpotential of 215 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2) and prolonged stability for over 327 h.The catalyst delivers 300 h of continuous operation at 1 A cm^(-2),with a negligible degradation rate of only 0.067 mV h-1,further demonstrating its potential for practical application.Oxygen vacancies unlock the OVSM-LOM pathway,bypassing the sluggish adsorbate evolution mechanism(AEM)and accelerating reaction kinetics,while the Ru-N bonds suppress Ru dissolution by anchoring low-valent Ru centers.Quasi-in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS),and isotopic labeling experiments confirm the lattice oxygen participation with *O formation as the rate-determining step.The Ru-N bonds reinforce the structural integrity by stabilizing low-valent Ru centers and inhibiting overoxidation.Theoretical calculations further verify that the synergistic interaction between OVs and Ru-O(N)active sites optimizes the Ru d-band center and stabilizes intermediates,while Ru-N coordination enhances structural integrity.This study establishes a novel paradigm for designing robust acidic OER catalysts through defect and coordination engineering,bridging the gap between activity and stability for sustainable energy technologies.

文摘Metal halide perovskites(MHPs)with striking electrical and optical properties have appeared at the forefront of semiconductor materials for photocatalytic redox reactions but still suffer from some intrinsic drawbacks such as inferior stability,severe charge-carrier recombination,and limited active sites.Heterojunctions have recently been widely constructed to improve light absorption,passivate surface for enhanced stability,and promote charge-carrier dynamics of MHPs.However,little attention has been paid to the review of MHPs-based heterojunctions for photocatalytic redox reactions.Here,recent advances of MHPs-based heterojunctions for photocatalytic redox reactions are highlighted.The structure,synthesis,and photophysical properties of MHPs-based heterojunctions are first introduced,including basic principles,categories(such as Schottky junction,type-I,type-II,Z-scheme,and S-scheme junction),and synthesis strategies.MHPs-based heterojunctions for photocatalytic redox reactions are then reviewed in four categories:H2evolution,CO_(2)reduction,pollutant degradation,and organic synthesis.The challenges and prospects in solar-light-driven redox reactions with MHPs-based heterojunctions in the future are finally discussed.

文摘To realize the practical application of anion exchange membrane water electrolysis(AEMWE),it is essential to develop highly active,durable,and cost-effective electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Herein,we report a hollow-structured Ni_(x)Co_(1−x)O/Ni_(3)S_(2)/Co_(9)S_(8)heterostructure synthesized via sequential template-assisted growth,thermal oxidation,and controlled sulfidation process.The abundant bimetallic heterointerfaces not only provide additional active sites but also promote electronic modulation via charge redistribution.Additionally,the porous and hollow architecture enhances active surface area and mass transfer ability,thereby increasing the number of accessible active sites for alkaline OER.As a result,the prepared electrocatalyst achieves low overpotential of 310 mV at 10 mA cm^(−2)and small Tafel slope of 55.94 mV dec^(−1),demonstrating the exceptional electrocatalytic performance for alkaline OER.When integrated as the anode in an AEMWE cell,it delivers outstanding performance with only 1.657 V at 1.0 A cm^(−2)and reaches high current density of 5.0 A cm^(−2)at 1.989 V,surpassing those of commercial RuO_(2).The cell also shows excellent long-term durability over 100 h with minimal degradation.This study highlights the strong potential of rationally engineered oxide/sulfide heterostructures for next-generation alkaline water electrolysis.

文摘RNA binding proteins(RBPs) are a crucial class of proteins that interact with RNA and play a key role in various biological process.Deficiencies or abnormalities of RBPs are closely linked to the occurrence and progression of numerous diseases,making RBPs potential therapeutic targets.However,the limited tissue penetration of 254 nm UV irradiation makes it difficult to efficiently crosslink weak and dynamic RNA-protein interactions in mammal tissues.Additionally,RNA degradation in metal catalyzed click reaction further hinders the enrichment of RNA-protein complexes(RPCs).Due to these inherent limitations,globally profiling the RNA binding proteome in mammal organs has long been a challenge.Herein,we proposed a novel method,which utilized a dual crosslinking with formaldehyde and 254 nm UV irradiation,metabolic labeling and metal-free thiol-yne click reaction to enable large-scale enrichment and identification of RBPs in mouse liver,called FTYc_UV.In this method,formaldehyde is first used to crosslink the crude RNA-protein complexes(cRPCs) in situ to address the problem of poor tissue penetration of 254 nm UV irradiation.Furthermore,this method integrates metabolic labeling with a metal-free thiol-yne click reaction to achieve non-destructive RNA tagging.After specifically RNA-RBPs crosslinking by 254 nm UV irradiation in tissue lysates,formaldehyde decrosslinking is employed to remove non-specific proteins,leading to effective enrichment of RPCs from mouse liver and thereby overcoming the poor specificity of formaldehyde crosslinking.Application of FTYc_UV in mouse liver successfully identified over 1600 RBPs covering approximately 75 % of previously reported RBPs.Furthermore,420 candidate RBPs,including 151metabolic enzymes,were also obtained,demonstrating the sensitivity of FTYc_UV and the potential of this method for in-depth exploration of RNA-protein interactions in biological and clinical research.

文摘The growing volume of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)represents both an urgent environmental challenge and a critical resource opportunity,especially for cathode materials.Among commercial cathodes,LiFePO4(LFP)dominates the market due to its favorable properties;thus,a substantial amount of LFP cathode materials is expected to retire in the near future.The conventional hydrometallurgical method suffers from high costs and serious pollution.Direct regeneration technologies,especially solid-state sintering,provide a more efficient and environmentally benign alternative by repairing cathode structures through high-temperature solid-phase reactions without extra chemical reagents.Traditional solid-state sintering faces challenges in processing spent LFP from diverse sources,struggling to achieve the homogenization of physical–chemical properties and electrochemical performance.To address the limitations above,phase homogenization with a lattice reconstruction strategy has been investigated,which can enable effective lattice reconstruction and microstructural homogenization,demonstrating robust adaptability to spent samples from variable sources.This review systematically summarizes the mechanisms,detailed steps,characterization techniques,and advances in pre-oxidation optimization(including ion-doping and coated carbon layer modification),as well as future research directions for sustainable LFP recycling.Given this,this review is expected to offer theoretical guidance for achieving homogeneous regeneration of LFP cathode.

文摘The differences in the competitive reactions of hydrogarnet and quicklime when reacting with titaniumcontaining and silicon-containing minerals during the Bayer digestion process were investigated.Thermodynamic analysis,artificial mineral experiments,and an evaluation of the digestion effect of natural diasporic bauxite were conducted.The results indicate that hydrogarnet shows a preferential reaction with anatase,and this preference becomes more pronounced as the silicon saturation coefficient increases.In contrast,quicklime participates in non-selective reactions with both anatase and desilication products(DSP).The preference of hydrogarnet for anatase significantly enhances the utilization efficiency of CaO in the high-temperature Bayer digestion process.

文摘Low reactivity and appropriate wettability between molten superalloys and ceramic materials are crucial for the production of high-quality superalloy castings.The sessile-drop experiment was employed to systematically investigate the interfacial reaction and wettability between the 4777DS1 superalloy and SiO_(2)-based ceramic core at various temperatures(1,480℃,1,500℃,1,520℃,and 1,550℃).The wetting behavior and interfacial reaction products at different temperatures were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS),and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The interfacial reaction process and products were discussed,and the thermodynamic behavior and interfacial reaction mechanisms were elucidated.The results demonstrate that the wetting behavior and interfacial reaction between the 4777DS1 alloy and the ceramic core are significantly influenced by temperature.The wettability angle exhibits a trend of initial decrease followed by an increase with rising temperature,reaching a maximum of 139°at 1,480℃,indicating poorer wettability of the 4777DS1 superalloy with the ceramic core and better casting properties at this specific temperature.The most intense interfacial reaction occurs at 1,520℃,resulting in the formation of the main interfacial reaction products such as Al_(2)O_(3),SiO_(2),and HfO_(2).Additionally,some crystal-like products rich in Si and Hf distribute on the reaction layer.

文摘Heteroatom-doped carbon is considered a promising alternative to commercial Pt/C as an efficient catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).This study presents the synthesis of iron-loaded,sulfur and nitrogen co-doped carbon(Fe/SNC)via in situ incorporation of 2-aminothiazole molecules into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8(ZIF-8)through coordination between metal ions and organic ligands.Sulfur and nitrogen doping in carbon supports effectively modulates the electronic structure of the catalyst,increases the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area,and exposes more Fe-N_(x)active centers.Fe-loaded,S and N co-doped carbon with Fe/S molar ratio of 1:10(Fe/SNC-10)exhibits a half-wave potential of 0.902 V vs.RHE.After 5000 cycles of cyclic voltammetry,its half-wave potential decreases by only 20 mV vs.RHE,indicating excellent stability.Due to sulfur s lower electronegativity,the electronic structure of the Fe-N_(x)active center is modulated.Additionally,the larger atomic radius of sulfur introduces defects into the carbon support.As a result,Fe/SNC-10 demonstrates superior ORR activity and stability in alkaline solution compared with Fe-loaded N-doped carbon(Fe/NC).Furthermore,the zinc-air battery assembled with the Fe/SNC-10 catalyst shows enhanced performance relative to those assembled with Fe/NC and Pt/C catalysts.This work offers a novel design strategy for advanced energy storage and conversion applications.

文摘Organometallics play a vital role in catalytic and synthetic processes.Understanding the indi-vidual elementary steps of the reactions of organo metallic com-pounds is crucial for the development and ratio-nal design of new organometallic reagents and catalysts.Study of gas-phase reactions is one of the key approaches to probing the individual elementary steps under isolated and re-producible conditions.A series of investigations have been reported on the gas-phase reac-tions between organometallic ions and neutral molecules under room temperature conditions.However,studies about the reactions between organometallic ions and neutral molecules un-der heating conditions are very limited.In this work,an apparatus with an electrospray ion-ization source and an ion funnel trap,which can be coupled with a high-temperature linear ion trap reactor,was designed and built.The apparatus can be used to investigate the reac-tions between organometallic ions and neutral molecules under heating conditions.By using the apparatus,the adsorption reactions of Rh(PPh_(3))_(2)^(+)+CO→Rh(PPh_(3))_(2)CO^(+)and CuPPh_(3)^(+)+CO_(2)→CuPPh_(3)CO_(2)+under variable temperature conditions have been conducted.The experiments showed that the reaction rate constant of Rh(PPh_(3))_(2)^(+)+CO increases first and then decreases with increasing temperature.In contrast,the rate constant of CuPPh_(3)^(+)+CO_(2)decreases monotonically as the temperature increases.Density functional theory calculations indicate that the adsorption reaction of Rh(PPh_(3))_(2)^(+)+CO→Rh(PPh_(3))_(2)CO^(+)is subject to a small barrier,while CuPPh_(3)^(+)+CO_(2)→CuPPh_(3)CO_(2)+is barri-erless,which is consistent with the experimentally observed temperature-dependent rate con-stants.The newly built apparatus can thus provide new kinetic information to address reac-tion mechanisms for organometallic ions.

文摘Accelerated industrialization combined with over-applied nitrogen fertilizers results in serious nitrate pollution insurface and ground water,disrupting the balance of the global nitrogen cycle.Electrochemical nitrate reduction(eNO_(3)RR)emerges as an attractive strategy to simultaneously enable nitrate removal and decentralized ammo-nia fabrication,restoring the globally perturbed nitrogen cycle.However,complex deoxygenation-hydrogenationprocesses and sluggish proton-electron transfer kinetics significantly hinder practical application of eNO_(3)RR.In this study,we developed carbon-coated Cu-Ni bimetallic catalysts derived from metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)to facilitate eNO_(3)RR.The unique structural features of catalyst promote enhanced synergy between Cuand Ni,effectively addressing critical challenges in nitrate reduction.Comprehensive structural and electrochem-ical analysis demonstrate that electrochemical nitrate-to-nitrite conversion mainly takes place on active Cu sites,the introduction of Ni could efficiently accelerate the generation of aquatic active hydrogen,promoting the hy-drogenation of oxynitrides during eNO_(3)RR.In addition,Ni introduction could push up the d-band center of thecatalyst,thus enhancing the adsorption and activation of nitrate and the corresponding intermediates.Detailedreaction pathways for nitrate-to-ammonia conversion are illuminated by rotating disk electrode(RDE),in-situFourier-transform infrared spectroscopy,in-situ Raman spectrum and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).Benefiting from the synergistic effect of Cu and Ni,optimum catalyst exhibited excellent nitrate reductionperformance.This work provides a new idea for elucidating the underlying eNO_(3)RR reaction mechanisms andcontributes a promising strategy for designing efficient bimetallic electrocatalysts.
