The compound can form a stable monolayer with sodium dextrin sulfate(SDS) by means of electrostatic interaction. Fourier-transform infrared(FT-IR) and near-infrared surface-enhanced Raman scattering(NIR-SERS) spectroscopies were used to study the orientation and characterize the structure of the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film and the dipping film. The FT-IR spectra indicate that the alkyl tail is nearly perpendicular to the substrate surface without any aggregation and adopts largely trans-zigzag conformation in the LB film. The NIR-SERS spectra demonstrate that the chromorphoric part in C_ 12AzoNaph(1,4)C_6N +Br is also nearly perpendicular to the surface of silver substrate both in the dipping film and the LB film. A new 'sandwiched system' model was designed to investigate the orientation and structural characterization of the chromophoric part in the multi-monolayer LB films on the non-SERS active substrate. The SERS mechanism of the 'sandwiched system' is discussed in the present paper.展开更多

During this process, a 60-70% organic matter reduction occurs and the final product, the digestate, is charac- terized by high biological stability and high contents of recalcitrant organic molecules and nutrients. In the present work digestates obtained by different mixture of biomasses in a full-scale co-digestion plant operating in Italy were characterized as whole samples without any pre-treatment or extraction by means of Fourier transform infrared spec- troscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy in the synchronous-scan mode and results were compared to those obtained on the single fresh substrates. Biomasses considered were: beef cattle slurry, maize or sorghum silage, agro-industrial residues, olive residues and olive mill wastewater. These substrates exhibited typical spectra related to their different chemical composition. Results obtained on digestates provided evidence of distinctive characteristic of the final product as a function of the different composition of the biomasses loaded into the digestion plant. We concluded that FTIR and fluorescence spectra of digestates produced in a real co-digestion plant “inherit” the main spectroscopic features of the organic wastes from which they are produced. Spectroscopic techniques used in this work succeeded in qualitatively characterizing and differentiating digestates obtained from biomasses of different chemical composition.展开更多

In the present work digestates obtained by different mixture of biomasses in a full-scale co-digestion plant operating in Italy were characterized as whole samples without any pre-treatment or extraction by means of Fourier transform infrared spec- troscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy in the synchronous-scan mode and results were compared to those obtained on the single fresh substrates. Biomasses considered were: beef cattle slurry, maize or sorghum silage, agro-industrial residues, olive residues and olive mill wastewater. These substrates exhibited typical spectra related to their different chemical composition. Results obtained on digestates provided evidence of distinctive characteristic of the final product as a function of the different composition of the biomasses loaded into the digestion plant. We concluded that FTIR and fluorescence spectra of digestates produced in a real co-digestion plant “inherit” the main spectroscopic features of the organic wastes from which they are produced. Spectroscopic techniques used in this work succeeded in qualitatively characterizing and differentiating digestates obtained from biomasses of different chemical composition.

文摘Catalysis,which is central to the energy and chemical industries,constitutes a dynamic process that involves multiple stages,ranging from activation and deactivation to rapid catalytic cycles.Comprehending these dynamic processes is crucial for optimizing catalytic reactions and developing innovative catalytic systems.This review centers on the integration of operando spectroscopies with transient analysis to acquire quantitative dynamic information directly from spectroscopic investigations of catalytic processes.Operando spectroscopies facilitate real-time observations of dynamic changes occurring during catalysis,while transient experiments yield insights that extend beyond steady-state kinetics by examining catalysts'responses to and recovery from dynamic conditions.This review aims to underscore the significance of integrating multiple spectroscopic techniques and transient methodologies to yield quantitative insights into catalytic processes,elucidating in real time the relationships between active structures,surface intermediates,and catalytic kinetics.

文摘Photoinduced carrier dynamical processes dominate the optical excitation properties of photocatalysts and further determine the photocatalytic performance.In addition,as the electrons generally possess a faster transfer rate than holes,hole transfer and accumulation are critical,and they play the key efficiency-limiting step during the photocatalytic process.Therefore,a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of photogenerated holes and their determining factors in the photocatalytic system is highly essential to rationalize the full catalytic mechanism and develop highly efficient photocatalysts,which have not yet been revealed.In this work,the photoinduced charge carrier dynamics in InP/ZnS quantum dots(QDs)capped with longchain L-typed ligands(oleylamine)and inorganic ligands(sulfide ion(S^(2-)))were explored.Time-resolved photoluminescence and femtosecond transient-absorption spectroscopy unambiguously confirmed the ultrafast hole transfer from the InP core to S^(2-)ligands.Moreover,by probing the bleach of vibrational stretching of the ligands with transient midinfrared absorption spectroscopy,the hole transfer time was determined to be 4.2 ps.The injected holes are long-lived at the S^(2-) ligands(>4.5 ns),and they can remove electrostatically attached surfactants to compensate for the spatial charge redistribution.Finally,compared with other inorganic ligands such as Cl^(-) and PO_(4)^(3-),S^(2-) balances the ionic radii and net charge to ensure the optimal condition for charge transfer.Such observation rationalizes the excellent photocatalytic H_(2) evolution(213.6μmol mg^(-1) within 10 h)in InP/ZnS QDs capped with S^(2-) compared with those capped with other ligands and elucidates the role of surface ligands in the photocatalytic activity of colloidal QDs.
文摘The Savitzky-Golay(SG)filter,which employs polynomial least-squares approximations to smooth data and estimate derivatives,is widely used for processing noisy data.However,noise suppression by the SG filter is recognized to be limited at data boundaries and high frequencies,which can significantly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR).To solve this problem,a novel method synergistically integrating Principal Component Analysis(PCA)with SG filtering is proposed in this paper.This approach avoids the is-sue of excessive smoothing associated with larger window sizes.The proposed PCA-SG filtering algorithm was applied to a CO gas sensing system based on Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy(CRDS).The perform-ance of the PCA-SG filtering algorithm is demonstrated through comparison with Moving Average Filtering(MAF),Wavelet Transformation(WT),Kalman Filtering(KF),and the SG filter.The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibits superior noise reduction capabilities compared to the other algorithms evaluated.The SNR of the ring-down signal was improved from 11.8612 dB to 29.0913 dB,and the stand-ard deviation of the extracted ring-down time constant was reduced from 0.037μs to 0.018μs.These results confirm that the proposed PCA-SG filtering algorithm effectively improves the smoothness of the ring-down curve data,demonstrating its feasibility.

文摘Exploring cost-effective and efficient catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)poses a significant challenge,espe-cially in the pursuit of alternatives to precious metals like platinum.Significant advancements have driven electrochem-ists to develop efficient ORR catalysts using abundant materials,particularly iron(Fe)-based,known for their exceptional performance in ORR.While the crucial function of Fe in boosting ORR catalytic activity is recognized,the connection between material attributes and catalytic performance remains enigmatic.Understanding the dynamic processes involved in oxygen electrocatalysis is paramount for designing precious-metals-free ORR electrocatalysts.Mössbauer spectroscopy stands out as a powerful technique for deciphering the structural characteristics of Fe species in catalysis,facilitating the identification of active sites and the clarification of catalytic mechanisms.By showcasing noteworthy case studies within this review,we demonstrate the application of in-situ/operando 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy across diverse Fe-involved materials in ORR catalysis.This sheds light on various aspects of ORR catalysis,such as identifying active sites,assessing stability,and understanding the reaction mechanism.Our inquiry drives towards the opportunities and hurdles associ-ated with Mössbauer spectroscopy,unveiling potential breakthroughs and avenues for enhancement within this pivotal research realm.
文摘In this study,polyacrylic acid(PAA)films were employed as a model system,and a series of PAA films with tunable water wettability was systematically prepared by varying molecular weight and curing temperature.Using attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(ATR-FTIR),the molecular configurations of surface carboxyl groups(COOH),free carboxyl(COOH_(f))and hydrogen-bonded carboxyl(COOH_(HB),were directly correlated with the polar component of surface energy(γ^(s,p)).By decomposing theγ^(s,p)values of the PAA thin films as a sum of the contributions of COOH_(f)and COOH_(H B),the intrinsic polar component of surface energy of COOH_(H B)(γ_(H B)^(s,p*))was quantified for the first time as 8.34 mN/m,significantly lower than that of COOH_(f)(γ_(f)^(s,p*)=34 mN/m).This result highlights that hydrogen bonding markedly reduces theγ^(s,p),providing a rational explanation for the relatively large water contact angle observed on PAA thin films.Furthermore,it establishes a thermodynamic basis for estimating the fraction of surface COOH_(H B)groups(f H B)from wettability measurements.Further extension of the model to carboxyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers(COOH-SAMs)revealed that surface COOH density(ΣCOOH)critically regulates wetting behavior:whenΣCOOH ranges from 4.30 to 5.25 nm^(-2),COOH groups predominantly exist in a free state and facilitate effective hydration layers,thereby promoting superhydrophilicity.Overall,this study not only establishes a unified thermodynamic framework linking surface COOH configurations to macroscopic wettability,but also validates its universality by extending it to COOH-SAMs systems,thereby providing a unified theoretical framework for the controllable design of hydrophilicity in various COOH-functionalized surfaces.

文摘The precise excitation of molecular vibrational states is critical for ad-vancing chemical dynamics,preci-sion spectroscopy,and trace gas sensing.This objective,however,is often hindered by the weak oscilla-tor strengths of ro-vibrational tran-sitions,which render conventional continuous-wave(cw)lasers ineffec-tive due to their limited power.This fundamental challenge is overcome by cavity-enhanced excitation(CEE),a technique that locks a cw laser to a high-finesse optical cavity.This configuration amplifies the intra-cavity light intensity by several orders of magnitude while preserving a narrow spectral linewidth.The resulting synergy enables highly efficient,state-selective population transfer and high-resolution spectroscopy previously considered impractical.This review elucidates the core technique of laser-cavity locking and highlights its applications,notably in the quantitative detection of trace isotopes and the investigation of highly excited vibrational states with kilo-hertz-level accuracy.

文摘This paper describes the design and performance of the tender energy spectroscopy beamline(BL16U1),a phase Ⅱ beamline,at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility.The beamline,based on an in-vacuum undulator source with 26 mm period,provides an operable energy range between 2.1 keV and 16 keV,covering the K-edges of P to Rb and L3-edges of Zr to Bi.The principal optical elements of the beamline are a toroidal mirror,a liquid nitrogen-cooled double-crystal monochromator,a high-harmonic-rejection mirror,and two pairs of Kirkpatrick–Baez(KB)mirrors.Three end-stations,including non-focusing,microprobe,and sub-microprobe types,are installed on the beamline.X-ray fluorescence(XRF)and X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS),including X-ray absorption near-edge structure(XANES)and extended X-ray absorption fine structure(EXAFS),are performed under vacuum or He atmosphere at the non-focusing end-station(with a beam spot size of∼670μm×710μm).Using two KB mirrors systems,micro-XRF(μXRF)mapping and micro-XANES(μXANES)studies can be performed with a spot size of approximately∼3.3μm×1.3μm at the microprobe end-station and with a smaller spot size of∼0.5μm×0.25μm at the sub-microprobe end-station.The non-focusing end-station was officially opened to users in January 2024.The microprobe and sub-microprobe end-stations will be opened to users in the near future.This paper presents the characteristics,short-term technical developments,and early experimental results of this new beamline.

文摘The formation of copper deposits is closely related to hydrothermal processes.Understanding the migration of copper in hydrothermal fluids aids in reconstructing mineralization processes and deciphering deposit genesis.Copper primarily exists as Cu^(+)and Cu^(2+)in hydrothermal solutions,with redox conditions governing their interconversion.In chloride-rich geological fluids,Cu-Cl complexes are considered critical for copper transport.However,the specific types and valence transitions of Cu-Cl complexes under varying hydrothermal conditions remain poorly understood.This study employed in situ Raman spectroscopy to systematically analyze Cu+HCl and CuCl_(2)+K_(2)S_(2)O_(3)/H_(2) systems under saturated vapor pressure at 25-300℃,elucidating the effects of temperature,Cl^(-)concentration,and redox conditions on copper speciation.In the Cu^(+)HCl system,copper dissolved as monovalent Cu-Cl complexes.At high temperatures(>200℃),[CuCl_(2)]^(-)is the dominated species,whereas[CuCl_(3)]^(2-)becomes prevalent at lower temperatures and higher HCl concentrations.For the Cu^(2+)-Cl system,the dominant species transitioned from[Cu(H_(2)O)n]^(2+)(<50℃)to[CuCl_(4)]^(2-)(100℃)and further to[CuCl]^(+)and[CuCl_(2)]^(0) at 300℃.The introduction of reducing agents(K_(2)S_(2)O_(3)/H_(2))facilitated Cu^(2+)→Cu^(+)reduction,thereby stabilizing Cu^(+)-Cl complexes and inducing partial copper precipitation.The behavior of copper in chloriderich hydrothermal fluids observed in this study indicates that high-temperature oxidizing fluids facilitate Cu mobilization,while cooling and redox changes promote deposition and ore minerals formation.

文摘Quantifying the hydrogen bond(H-bond)strength of polymers is essential for rational design of advanced materials.However,direct measurement remains challenging because of the structural complexity of polymers and the weak nature of H-bonds.Vacuum-based singlemolecule force spectroscopy(Vac-SMFS)offers a new and precise approach for such measurements.Using polyallylamine(PAAm)as a model polymer,the intrinsic strength(i.e.,strength without external influences)of representative N―H…N H-bonds was quantified to be about 5.25 kJ·mol^(–1).Comparative Vac-SMFS analysis across different polymer systems revealed that the N―H…N H-bonds in PAAm are unexpectedly stronger than the N―H…O H-bonds in poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM)and the O―H…O H-bonds in poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate)(PHEMA).This trend contrasts with that of established small-molecule systems.These results highlight how side-chain length and spatial configuration dictate polymer H-bond strengths,expanding the fundamental knowledge of polymer interactions and enabling the rational design of next-generation functional materials.

文摘This study investigated the heterogeneous responses of organic matter(OM)in highly-to over-mature source rocks during thermal maturation.An integrated analysis was conducted on the Raman spectroscopic and geochemical signatures of shales from the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation and the Lower Cambrian Qiongzhusi Formation,as well as anthracites from the Lower Permian Shanxi–Formation and the Upper Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation(collectively referred to as the Shanxi Taiyuan Formations).Additionally,burial and thermal evolution modeling was employed to support the analysis.A systematic assessment of Raman spectral parameters(e.g.,the positions and intensity ratio of the D and G bands)revealed robust correlations between the thermal history patterns of source rocks and molecular structural evolution parameters.The subsequent mechanistic quantification demonstrated that the maturation state of the source rocks was subjected to the hierarchical control of three principal factors:Peak heating temperature,the duration of sustained thermal intensity,and effective maturation duration.In addition,comparative analyses demonstrated that the anthracites attained higher structural ordering under sustained thermal conditions.This contrasts with the disordered carbon matrices observed in the intermittently heated shales.Raman spectroscopy further revealed broader variations in the D and G band intensities of the Longmaxi Formation compared to the Qiongzhusi Formation.This difference is associated with their different thermal histories.The thermal burial histories confirm that shales in the Longmaxi Formation underwent thermal exposure at lower peak temperatures over a shorter duration compared to those in the Qiongzhusi Formation.Finally,this study established a maturity calibration model for over-mature source rocks through a systematic correlation between Raman peak height ratios(R_(D/G))and vitrinite reflectance(R_(o)).

文摘Ferromagnetism in moiréflat-band systems has been extensively studied in the first valence miniband of twisted MoTe_(2),while its controlled realization at higher moiréfillings remains largely unexplored,except for very recent works reporting correlated magnetism near half filling of the second moiréband.Here,we investigate rhombohedral-stacked twisted MoTe_(2)/hBN/WSe_(2) heterostructures and uncover two distinct ferromagnetic(FM)regions:one centered near v_(h)≈3(half filling of the second moirévalence miniband)at zero displacement field,and a re-entrant FM phase that emerges for v_(h)>3 only under a finite out-of-plane electric field.These FM regions are separated by a narrow filling window with a strongly suppressed magnetic circular dichroism(MCD)response.Layer-sensitive exciton spectroscopy identifies that WSe_(2) is hole-doped in the re-entrant FM region,consistent with partial charge transfer from MoTe_(2) to WSe_(2).We propose that electric-field–induced layer repopulation stabilizes the re-entrant ferromagnetic phase by pinning the effective MoTe_(2) filling near v_(h)≈3 while adding carriers to the remote WSe_(2) layer.Our results demonstrate that remote-layer population control is an effective tuning knob for magnetic ordering in higher moiréminibands,extending the design space for correlated spin–valley phases in transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures.
