文摘This study presents an investigation into shock-induced exothermic reactions within three distinct aluminum-based energetic mixtures:aluminum/sulfur(Al/S),aluminum/copper oxide(Al/CuO),and aluminum/polytetrafluoroethylene(Al/PTFE).A challenge in current modeling efforts is accurately capturing the complex physical and chemical coupling under extreme loading,especially the influence of rapidly forming gaseous products in Al/PTFE mixtures on material integrity.To address this,a wide-range numerical model based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH)method was developed.This mesh-free approach manages large deformations and incorporates elastic-plastic flow,heat transfer,component diffusion,and chemical kinetics simulated using both zero-and first-order reaction schemes,favoring the latter for surface-reaction mechanisms.The proposed model takes into account gaseous reaction products,specifically aluminum fluoride(AlF3)to assess their impact on ampoule fracture dynamics.Numerical simulations,validated against experimental data,demonstrated that reaction rate,local pressure,and temperature are the primary controlling factors governing energy release and structural response.Comparative analysis revealed that although Al/CuO initiates reaction more readily(lower critical pressure/temperature),the Al/S mixture exhibits superior overall reaction efficiency under shock-wave loading,highlighting the significance of post-initiation kinetic factors.Furthermore,simulations using the conical ampoule geometry confirmed its effectiveness in generating a continuous pressure gradient,enabling systematic characterization of pressure-dependent reaction kinetics.This validated SPH model provides a powerful and predictive tool for understanding the complex behavior of energetic materials under shock-wave loading and aids in optimizing material composition for desired performance characteristics.

文摘During the oxygen evolution reaction(OER),reconstruction of transition metal sulfides(TMSs)is inevitable.However,the lack of a clear theoretical understanding of this process has impeded the development of effective reconstruction regulation strategies.In this study,we first explored the reconstruction mechanism of CoS_(2)during OER from the perspective of electronic structure and identified two possible pathways:the OH-assisted mechanism and the O-assisted mechanism.Further verification showed that these mechanisms are universally applicable to other TMSs(e.g.,FeS_(2)).Based on the reconstruction mechanism,we investigated the basic reasons for the influence of various regulation strategies,such as vacancy modification and facet engineering,on the reconstruction ability.This verified that the method of analyzing the change in the reconstruction ability of catalysts based on the reconstruction mechanism has a high degree of applicability.Importantly,we proposed a core regulation strategy:the coordination symmetry regulation strategy.Specifically,by breaking the symmetry of the surface coordination environment of TMSs(such as introducing heteroatom doping or strain),the reconstruction process will be facilitated.Our findings provide a comprehensive mechanistic explanation for the reconstruction of TMS catalysts and offer a new idea for the rational design of OER catalysts with controllable reconstruction capacity.

文摘Controversies and arguments about the origin of plan-etary water have aroused enthusiasm to search for possible chemical sources.Considering the CO_(2)-rich atmospheres of Mars,Venus,and the prebiotic Earth,we propose that chemical reactions between HOCO^(+)and H_(2)can contribute to the production of H_(2)O on the basis of high-level calculations.As for the reagents,HOCO^(+)can form via the protonation of CO_(2),while H+and H_(2)are from the solar wind or in-terstellar space.Note that one of the reaction path-ways undergoes multiple transition-state complexes and exhibits the roaming-like dynamics feature.More-over,intermolecular proton or hydrogen transfer is a key step in the production of H_(2)O,there-by H-tunneling effect profoundly enhances the reaction rate in a wide range of temperatures or collision energies.

文摘A mild and efficient photochemical multi-component tandem reaction of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones, alkenes and sulfinic acids is reported. This tandem reaction could be conveniently carried out at room temperature by employing 4Cz IPN as the metal-free photocatalyst and dioxygen(air) as the environmentally benign oxidant. A number of sulfonated quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones were obtained in satisfactory yields with favorable functional group tolerance. Radical trapping experiment and fluorescence quenching experiments were performed to elucidate this visible-light mediated radical reaction process.

文摘An efficient,convenient and environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of novel 3-oxo-3Hbenzo[a]pyrano[2.3-c]phenazine-l-carboxylate and 3-(5-hydroxybenzo[a]phenazin-6-yl) acrylate derivatives has been developed by domino three-component condensation reaction between 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione,benzene-1,2-diamines and acetylenic esters in the presence of a catalytic amount of DABCO as an expedient,eco-friendly and reusable base catalyst in water.This green process produces biologically and pharmacologically significant heterocycles in a one-pot single operation and offers considerable advantages such as:operational simplicity,short reaction time,high yields,reusability of catalyst,absence of any tedious workup or purification and avoids hazardous reagents/solvents.
文摘An improved method is proposed for the extraction of the symmetry energy coefficient relative to the temperature,a_(sym)/T,in the heavy-ion reactions near the Fermi energy region,based on the modified Fisher Model.This method is applied to the primary fragments of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics(AMD)simulations for ^(46)Fe+^(46)Fe,^(40)Ca+^(40)Ca and ^(48)Ca+^(48)Ca at 35 MeV/nucleon,in order to make direct comparison to the results from the K(N,Z)method of Ono et al.In our improved method,the extracted values of a_(sym)/T increase as the size of isotopes increases whereas,in the K(N,Z)method,the results show rather constant behavior.This increase in our result is attributed to the surface contribution of the symmetry energy in finite nuclei.In order to evaluate the surface contribution,the relation a_(sym)/T=[a_(sym)^((V))(1-k_(S/V) A^(-1/3))]/T is applied and k_(S/V)=1.20~1.25 was extracted.This value is smaller than those extracted from the mass table,reflecting the weakened surface contribution at higher temperature regime.Δμ/T,the difference of the neutron-proton chemical potentials relative to the temperature,is also extracted in this method at the same time.The average values of the extractedΔμ/T,Δμ/T show a linear dependence on the proton-neutron a_(sym)metry parameter of the system,δ_(sys),andΔμ/T=(15.1±0.2)δ_(sys)-(0.5±0.1)is obtained.

文摘Efficient catalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is essential for the rechargeable zinc-air batteries(R-ZABs).However,challenges remain due to the scarcity of effective bifunctional electrocatalysts and limited understanding of the structure-activity relationships.Pyrrole-type single-atom catalysts(SACs)with unique electronic structures have emerged as promising electrocatalysts.In this work,we combine density functional theory(DFT)calculations and experimental studies to systematically explore the structure-activity relationships and potential of pyrrole-type transition metal-N_(3)(TM-po-N_(3))as bifunctional catalysts.DFT calculations reveal that differences in the dependence of ORR and OER activities on the free energy of adsorption of reaction intermediates significantly affect the TM-po-N_(3)bifunctional activity and identify magnetic Cu-po-N_(3)as the best candidate.The bifunctional activity of Cu-po-N_(3)originates from interactions between spin-polarized out-of-plane Cu_3d and O_2s+2p orbitals.Theoretical predictions are validated experimentally,showing that the synthesized Cu-SAC/NC exhibits excellent bifunctional performance with a small potential gap of 0.666 V.Additionally,the assembled R-ZABs display a high-power density of 170 mW cm^(-2)and long-term stability,with the charge-discharge voltage gap increasing by only 0.01 V over 240 h.This work provides new insights into the design of efficient bifunctional catalysts.
