The variation in rheological and filtration characteristics of water-based drilling fluid with varying concentrations of HCNs were compared between the cases before and after thermal aging. The results demonstrated that HCNs had little influence on the rheological properties of bentonite base mud,but could effectively reduce its filtration loss after thermal aging at 220℃ For polymer-based drilling fluid, HCNs also exhibited minor influence on the rheology. The H-B model was the best fitting model for the rheological curves before thermal aging. After hot rolling at 220℃,the viscosity retention rate increased from 29% to 63%-90% with addition of HCNs, and the filtration loss decreased by 78% with 1.0w/v% HCNs. Meanwhile, the polymer-based drilling fluid with 0.5 w/v% HCNs maintained relatively stable rheology and low filtration loss after statically thermal aging at 200℃ for 96 h. For a bentonitefree water-based drilling fluid prepared mainly with modified natural polymers, the viscosity retention increased from 21% to 74% after hot rolling at 150℃ with 0.5 w/v% HCNs, and was further improved when HCNs and potassium formate were used in combination. The mechanism study revealed that,HCNs could trap dissolved oxygen, scavenge the free radicals and cross link with polymers, which prevented thermal oxidative degradation of polymers and improved the thermal stability of water-based drilling fluid. Meanwhile, HCNs could inhibit clay hydration and swelling in synergy with partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide by physically sealing the micropores, contributing to shale formation stability.Furthermore, HCNs could effectively improve the lubrication and anti-wear performance of drilling fluid.This study indicated that HCNs could act as green, sustainable, and versatile additives in water-based drilling fluid.展开更多

文摘Cerium oxide(CeO_(2)) has attracted much attention in recent years owing to its reversible switch ability in Ce^(3+)/Ce^(4+)redox to produce improved antioxidation properties for biomedical applications.Here,we report to embed the CeO_(2)nanospheres into the organic polymer network using electrostatic spinning technology to prepare polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)-encapsulated CeO_(2)nanospheres composite nanofibrous membranes(PVA-CeO_(2)) for the first time,which is beneficial to improving the dispersion and biocompatibility of CeO_(2)nanosphere without altering the original antioxidant properties of CeO_(2).Detailed characterization of the as-prepared composite nanofibrous membranes reveals that CeO_(2)was successfully introduced into the PVA fibers with strong interactions,thus enhancing the thermal stability and fracture toughness of the nanoifbers.As a result,PVA-CeO_(2)exhibits superior UV shielding performance,antioxidant performance and bacteriostatic performance.Meaningfully,PVA-CeO_(2)has strong absorbance in both UVA and UVB bands when the CeO_(2)concentration in the nanoifber membrane reaches 1.5 wt%,and shows an excellent scavenging effect on the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)radicals with a scavenging rate of 86.52%.Moreover,the Kirby-Bauer(K-B) method of agar diffusion test further confirms that PVA-CeO_(2)has antimicrobial ability against three types of representative strains,including Gram-positive bacteria(Staphylococcus aureus),Gram-negative bacteria(Escherichia coli) and fungi(Candida albicans).Importantly,no obvious cytotoxicity is observed for PVA-CeO_(2)even though the amount of embedded CeO_(2)nanosphere reaches as high as 1.5 wt%.This study reveals new avenues for improving the future smart design of CeO_(2)-based nanoifber membrane composite materials for biological antioxidants.

文摘Listeria monocytogenes(LM)is a dangerous foodborne pathogen for humans.One emerging and validated method of indirectly assessing LM in food is detecting 3-hydroxy-2-butanone(3H2B)gas.In this study,the synthesis of 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltrimethoxysilane(AAPTMS)functionalized hierarchical hollow TiO_(2)nanospheres was achieved via precise controlling of solvothermal reaction temperature and post-grafting route.The sensors based on as-prepared materials exhibited excellent sensitivity(480 Hz@50 ppm),low detection limit(100 ppb),and outstanding selectivity.Moreover,the evaluation of LM with high sensitivity and specificity was achieved using the sensors.Such stable three-dimensional spheres,whose distinctive hierarchical and hollow nanostructure simultaneously improved both sensitivity and response/recovery speed dramatically,were spontaneously assembled by nanosheets.Meanwhile,the moderate loadings of AAPTMS significantly improved the selectivity of sensors.Then,the gas-sensing mechanism was explored by utilizing thermodynamic investigation,Gaussian 16 software,and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared transform spectroscopy,illustrating the weak chemisorption between the-NHgroup and 3H2B molecules.These portable sensors are promising for real-time assessment of LM at room temperature,which will make a magnificent contribution to food safety.
文摘Activating both metal and lattice oxygen sites for efficient oxygen evolution reactions(OER)is a critical challenge.This study pioneers a novel approach,employing cobalt-nickel glycerate solid spheres(CoNi-G SSs)as self-sacrificial templates to synthesize yolk-shell structured CoNi-G SSs@ZIF-67 nanospheres.The derived NiCo2S4@CoS2/MoS2 double-shelled hollow nanospheres integrate the adsorbate evolution mechanism(AEM)and lattice oxygen mechanism(LOM),enabling synergistic dual catalytic pathways.Nickel modulation facilitates active species reconstruction in NiCo_(2)S_(4),enhancing lattice oxygen activity and optimizing the LOM pathway.Characterization results indicate that anode activation triggered the redox processes of metal and lattice oxygen sites,involving the formation and re-filling of oxygen vacancies.Additionally,the CoS_(2)/MoS_(2) heterostructure enhances the AEM pathway,as supported by density functional theory calculations,which demonstrate optimized adsorption of intermediates for both hydrogen evolution reaction and OER.The assembled anion exchange membrane water splitting device can deliver a catalytic current of 500 mA cm^(-2) at 1.74 V under commercial catalytic operating conditions(1 mol L^(-1) KOH)for 150 h,with negligible degradation.This work provides important insights into the understanding of OER mechanisms and the design of high-performance water-splitting electrocatalysts,while also opening new avenues for developing multifunctional materials with multi-shell structures.

文摘Recently,hollow carbon nanospheres(HCSs)have garnered significant attention as potential Li metal hosts owing to their unique large voids and ease of fabrication.However,similar to other nanoscale hosts,their practical performance is limited by inhomogeneous agglomeration,increased binder requirements,and high tortuosity within the electrode.To overcome these problems and high tortuosity within the electrode,this study introduces a pomegranate-like carbon microcluster composed of primary HCSs(P-CMs)as a novel Li metal host.This unique nanostructure can be easily prepared using the spray-drying technique,enabling its mass production.Comprehensive analyses with various tools demonstrate that compared with HCS hosts,the P-CM host requires a smaller amount of binder to fabricate a sufficiently robust and even surface electrode.Furthermore,owing to reduced tortuosity,the well-designed P-CM electrode can provide continuous and shortened pathways for electron/ion transport,accelerating the Li-ion transfer kinetics and prohibiting preferential Li plating at the upper region of the electrode.Due to these characteristics,Li metal can be effectively encapsulated in the large inner voids of the primary HCSs constituting the P-CM,thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of P-CM hosts in Li metal batteries.Specifically,the Coulombic efficiency of the P-CM host can be maintained at 97%over 100 cycles,with a high Li deposition areal capacity of 3 mAh·cm^(-2)and long cycle life(1000 h,1 mA·cm^(-2),and 1.0 mAh·cm^(-2)).Furthermore,a full cell incorporating a LiFePO4 cathode exhibits excellent cycle life.

文摘In this study, hydrothermal carbon nanospheres(HCNs) were prepared by hydrothermal carbonization using glucose as the precursor, and introduced to improve the properties of water-based drilling fluid for the first time. The variation in rheological and filtration characteristics of water-based drilling fluid with varying concentrations of HCNs were compared between the cases before and after thermal aging. The results demonstrated that HCNs had little influence on the rheological properties of bentonite base mud,but could effectively reduce its filtration loss after thermal aging at 220℃ For polymer-based drilling fluid, HCNs also exhibited minor influence on the rheology. The H-B model was the best fitting model for the rheological curves before thermal aging. After hot rolling at 220℃,the viscosity retention rate increased from 29% to 63%-90% with addition of HCNs, and the filtration loss decreased by 78% with 1.0w/v% HCNs. Meanwhile, the polymer-based drilling fluid with 0.5 w/v% HCNs maintained relatively stable rheology and low filtration loss after statically thermal aging at 200℃ for 96 h. For a bentonitefree water-based drilling fluid prepared mainly with modified natural polymers, the viscosity retention increased from 21% to 74% after hot rolling at 150℃ with 0.5 w/v% HCNs, and was further improved when HCNs and potassium formate were used in combination. The mechanism study revealed that,HCNs could trap dissolved oxygen, scavenge the free radicals and cross link with polymers, which prevented thermal oxidative degradation of polymers and improved the thermal stability of water-based drilling fluid. Meanwhile, HCNs could inhibit clay hydration and swelling in synergy with partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide by physically sealing the micropores, contributing to shale formation stability.Furthermore, HCNs could effectively improve the lubrication and anti-wear performance of drilling fluid.This study indicated that HCNs could act as green, sustainable, and versatile additives in water-based drilling fluid.

文摘Establishing an effective charge transfer mechanism in carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4))to enhance its photocatalytic activity remains a limiting nuisance.Herein,the combination design of a single Cu atom with hollow g-C_(3)N_(4)nanospheres(Cu-N_(3)structure)has been proven to offer significant opportunities for this crucial challenge.Moreover,this structure endows two pathways for charge transfer in the reaction,namely,the N atoms in the three-dimensional planar structure are only bonded with a single Cu atom,and charge transfer occurs between the plane and the layered structure due to the bending of the interlayered g-C_(3)N_(4)hollow nanospheres.Notably,Cu-N_(3)and hollow nanosphere structures have been certified to greatly enhance the efficiency of photogenerated carrier separation and transfer between the layers and planes by ultrafast spectral analysis.As a result,this catalyst possesses unparalleled photocatalytic efficiency.Specifically,the hydrogen production rate up to 2040μmol h^(−1) g^(−1),which is 51 times that of pure C_(3)N_(4)under visible light conditions.The photocatalytic degradation performance of tetracycline and oxidation performance of benzene is also expressed,with a degradation rate of 100%,a conversion of 97.3%and a selectivity of 99.9%.This work focuses on the structure-activity relationship to provide the possibilities for the development of potential photocatalytic materials.

文摘We report a facile template-free fabrication of heterostructured Co_(3)O_(4)/CuO hollow nanospheres using pre-synthesized Co/Cu-glycerate as conformal precursor.The introduction of copper nitrate in the solvothermal reaction system of glycerol/isopropanol/cobalt nitrate readily induces the conversion from solid Co-glycerate to hollow Co/Cu-glycerate nanospheres,and the effect of the Co/Cu atomic ratio on the structure evolution of the metal glycerates as well as their corresponding oxides were investigated.When examined as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries,the well-defined Co_(3)O_(4)/CuO hollow nanospheres with Co/Cu molar ratio of 2.0 demonstrate excellent lithium storage performance,delivering a high reversible capacity of 930 mAh/g after 300 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A/g and a stable capacity of 650 mAh/g after 500 cycles even at a higher current density of 2.0 A/g,which are much better than their counterparts of bare CuO and Co_(3)O_(4).The enhanced lithium storage performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of the CuO and Co_(3)O_(4)heterostructure with hollow spherical morphology,which greatly enhances the charge/electrolyte transfer and effectively buffers the volume changes upon lithiation/delithiation cycling.

文摘CdS nanospheres were grown on indium tin oxide(ITO)substrate using a hydrothermal method.The crystal structure,morphology and electronic structure of the samples synthesized were characterized in detail.The results confirm that the crystallinity,size,crystal defects of the CdS nanospheres and the film thickness of CdS photoelectrodes can be tuned by varying the precursor Cd2+concentration.Combined with charge transfer dynamics analysis,it can be found that proper particle size and film thickness,as well as fewer defects,will result in better charge separation efficiency of the prepared CdS/ITO photoelectrodes,thereby exhibiting better photoelectrochemical performance for water splitting.The optimized CdS/ITO photoelectrode synthesized with a Cd2+concentration of 0.14 mol⋅L1 gave a photocurrent density of 5.10 mA⋅cm^(-2)at potential of 1.23 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE),under a simulated solar illumination of 100 mW⋅cm^(-2).

文摘Constructing unique and highly stable structures with plenty of electroactive sites in sodium storage materials is a key factor for achieving improved electrochemical properties through favorable sodium ion di usion kinetics. An SnS_2@carbon hollow nanospheres(SnS_2@C) has been designed and fabricated via a facile solvothermal route, followed by an annealing treatment. The SnS_2@C hybrid possesses an ideal hollow structure, rich active sites, a large electrode/electrolyte interface, a shortened ion transport pathway, and, importantly, a bu er space for volume change, generated from the repeated insertion/extraction of sodium ions. These merits lead to the significant reinforcement of structural integrity during electrochemical reactions and the improvement in sodium storage properties, with a high specific reversible capacity of 626.8 mAh g^(-1) after 200 cycles at a current density of 0.2 A g^(-1) and superior high-rate performance(304.4 mAh g^(-1) at 5 A g^(-1)).

文摘In this work,a novel vacuum-assisted strategy is proposed to homogenously form Metal-organic frameworks within hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres(HMCSs)via a solid-state reaction.The method is applied to synthesize an ultrafine CoSe2 nanocrystal@N-doped carbon matrix confined within HMCSs(denoted as CoSe2@NC/HMCS)for use as advanced anodes in highperformance potassium-ion batteries(KIBs).The approach involves a solvent-free thermal treatment to form a Co-based zeolitic imidazolate framework(ZIF-67)within the HMCS templates under vacuum conditions and the subsequent selenization.Thermal treatment under vacuum facilitates the infiltration of the cobalt precursor and organic linker into the HMCS and simultaneously transforms them into stable ZIF-67 particles without any solvents.During the subsequent selenization process,the“dual confinement system”,composed of both the N-doped carbon matrix derived from the organic linker and the small-sized pores of HMCS,can effectively suppress the overgrowth of CoSe2 nanocrystals.Thus,the resulting uniquely structured composite exhibits a stable cycling performance(442 mAh g^−1 at 0.1 A g^−1 after 120 cycles)and excellent rate capability(263 mAh g^−1 at 2.0 A g^−1)as the anode material for KIBs.

文摘Lithium-ion hybrid capacitors(LIHCs)have drawn extensive attention in fleld of energy storage.However,the absence of appropriate electrode materials with rapid kinetics restricted the overall performance of the capacitors.Herein,hierarchical N,P-codoped hollow car-bon nanospheres coupling with WS_(2) nanosheets(N,P-codoped HCNS/WS_(2)NSs)were fabricated for boosting lithium storage materials.Specially,the WS_(2) nanosheets with several layers embedded in the N,P-codoped hollow carbon nanospheres could not only enhance the conduc-tivity of composites,but also provide abundant channels for the rapid transfer of ions.As a result,as-prepared N,P-codoped HCNS/WS_(2) NSs demonstrated superior rate performance and long-term cycling stability.The reversible discharge capacity of 725.2 mAh·g^(-1) could be preserved after 1000 cycles at a current density of 1.0 A·g^(-1).Fur-thermore,LIHCs devices were assembled by using N,P-codoped HCNS/WS_(2) NSs and activated carbon(AC)as the cathode and anode,which exhibited high energy density of 166.7 Wh·kg^(-1) and power density of 5312.4 W·kg^(-1).Last but not least,the capacity almost had no obvious deterioration after 6000 cycles at a high current density of 10.0 A·g^(-1).

文摘A series of Z-schemeβ-Bi_(2)O_(3)/ZrO_(2)hetero-junction composites containing three-dimensional(3D)mesoporous silica nanospheres(MSNs)were synthesized as efficient catalysts for antibiotic remediation.The obtained MSN/β-Bi_(2)O_(3)/ZrO_(2)ternary composites possess novel lamellar cross structure,which is well constructed byβ-Bi_(2)O_(3)nanosheets,3D MSNs,and ZrO_(2)nanoparticles.The optimal sample BZS-2(Bi∶Zr∶Si=1∶0.4∶0.33)shows an adsorptive-photocatalytic removal efficiency of 92.7%towards levofloxacin(LVF)and a total organic carbon(TOC)removal efficiency of 60.0%under simu-lated solar light irradiation for 100 min.BZS-2 can also remove 90.1%and 91.2%of tetracycline hydrochloride(TC)and oxytetracycline hydrochloride(OTC),respectively,and themaximum adsorptioncapacityof TCover BZS-2is almost 10 times that of-BiO.Theimprovement ofphotocatalytic activitycan bemainly attributed to the enhanced visible-light adsorption capacity and more efficientseparationof photogenerated electron-hole pairs.A possible Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism of p BiO/ZrOheterojunctions based on valence band offset(AEvBo)andconduction band offset(EcBo)isproposed.This study provides an efficient way to construct novel mesoporous ternary photocatalyst with increased accessible surface area and active sites for treatment of antibiotics by synergistic adsorption and photocatalysis.

文摘In the present paper,a microwave absorber with nanoscale gradient structure was proposed for enhancing the electromagnetic absorption performance.The inorganic-organic competitive coating strategy was employed,which can effectively adjust the thermodynamic and kinetic reactions of iron ions during the solvothermal process.As a result,Fe nanoparticles can be gradually decreased from the inner side to the surface across the hollow carbon shell.The results reveal that it offers an outstanding reflection loss value in combination with broadband wave absorption and flexible adjustment ability,which is superior to other relative graded distribution structures and satisfied with the requirements of lightweight equipment.In addition,this work elucidates the intrinsic microwave regulation mechanism of the multiscale hybrid electromagnetic wave absorber.The excellent impedance matching and moderate dielectric parameters are exhibited to be the dominative factors for the promotion of microwave absorption performance of the optimized materials.This strategy to prepare gradient-distributed microwave absorbing materials initiates a new way for designing and fabricating wave absorber with excellent impedance matching property in practical applications.

文摘Ternary Sn-Sb-Cu alloy nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via co-reduction of metal chlorides in aqueous alkaline solution.The results of the transmission electron microscopy(TEM)show that the as prepared Sn-Sb-Cu nanoparticles have a specific hollow structure with a uniform particle size of 10-20 nm.As there are not any hard templates in the synthesis system,a galvanic displacement reaction mechanism is proposed to account for the formation of the hollow nanostructures.When the alloy powders are used as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries,they exhibit relatively high electrochemical capacity and good cyclic retention.The good electrochemical performance can be attributed to the inactive Cu species.During electrochemical reactions,the inactive copper phase in the hollow structure serves as a soft and ductile matrix,which alleviates the mechanical stresses caused by the severe volume change during lithium insertion and extraction.With their high reversible capacities,the Sn-Sb-Cu alloys are a promising candidate as the anode material of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
