The characterizations show that Au particles are well dispersed on the surface of γ-MnO2 nanorobs with a particle size of about 10 nm.The catalytic performance is evaluated in solvent-free toluene oxidation with oxygen. The influences of several process parameters such as reaction time reaction temperature initial oxygen pressure and catalyst amounts on the catalytic performance are studied.Catalytic results reveal that Au/γ-MnO2 catalyst has a unique selectivity to benzaldehyde and all these factors greatly influence the conversion of toluene and selectivity of bezaldehyde benzoic acid and benzyl benzoate.However these factors have slight influence on the selectivity of benzyl alcohol.展开更多

文摘Bioinspired active pillar structures,known for their large surface area,mechanical compliance,and diverse deformation modes,have garnered extensive research interest.Among various active pillar structures,liquid crystal elastomer(LCE)pillar arrays are capable of exhibiting significant and reversible anisotropic deformation under cyclic heating and cooling,showing great potential in tunable adhesion,soft robots,and biomedical devices.However,scaling up LCE pillar manufacturing remains challenging,limiting its practical applications.In this work,a solventfree LCE resin is developed with unique features including simple operating procedure,short fabrication time,and tunable responsive temperature,enabling rapid and large-scale production of LCE pillar arrays.The LCE resin allows for the preparation of complex 3D shapes in addition to film or specimen.The fabrication time can be as short as 4 h,without the need to evaporate solvent.Moreover,the LCE resins can be adjusted with a variable phase transition temperature range from 49.4℃ to 97.7℃ by incorporating non-liquid crystal acrylate chains.The resulting active pillar array structure can undertake sequential actuation upon heating with the tunable actuation temperature.Finally,the application of these pillar arrays in multi-level information encryption is demonstrated.The LCE pillar structure introduced here offers a new strategy for constructing advanced active LCE structures with tunable responsive behavior.

文摘The imperative pursuit of elevated energy density in lithium primary coin cells(LPCCs)necessitates strategic architectural optimization to align with evolving market demands.A predominant approach involves the systematic replacement of metallic structural support components(MSSCs)to minimize non-active constituent ratios,contingent upon maintaining robust interfacial contact integrity among electrodes,separators,and battery shells.Herein,we present a novel LPCC configuration employing solvent-free processed ultra-thick fluorinated carbon cathode(UCFxC)to achieve complete MSSCs elimination.The engineered UCFxC demonstrates exceptional areal capacity metrics(249.45 mg cm^(-2),215.77 m Ah cm^(-2)),enabling a 27.8% mass reduction compared with conventional laboratoryassembled coin cell while achieving 941.5% energy density enhancement through optimized electrode conductivity.Notably,single-walled carbon nanotube(SWCNT)-modified UCFxC architectures exhibited superior performance with energy exceeding 1.0 Wh at 50℃.This architectural paradigm provides valuable insights for developing next-generation high-energy-density LPCC systems,with practical implications for advancing miniaturized power source technologies.

文摘This paper described an organic solvent-free, rapid, simple, and space-saving method of sample preparation followed by HPLC coupled photo-diode array (PDA) detector for simultaneous quantification of cyromazine (CYR) and its decy-cropropylated metabolite, melamine (MEL), in milk. The HPLC-PDA was performed on an Inertsil? HILIC column with an isocratic aqueous mobile phase. Analytes were extracted from the sample using water, and purified by Mono-Spin?-C18, a centrifugal monolithic silica spin mini-columns, and quantified within 20 min. The method, performed under 100% aqueous conditions, obtained average recoveries for CYR and MEL in the range of 93.2% - 99.1% with relative standard deviations ≤ 2.8%. The quantitation limits were 8.5 ng/mL for CYR and 10 ng/mL for MEL, respectively. No organic solvents were used at any stage of the analysis.

文摘Marine thin plates are susceptible to welding deformation owing to their low structural stiffness.Therefore,the efficient and accurate prediction of welding deformation is essential for improving welding quality.The traditional thermal elastic-plastic finite element method(TEP-FEM)can accurately predict welding deformation.However,its efficiency is low because of the complex nonlinear transient computation,making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid engineering evaluation.To address this challenge,this study proposes an efficient prediction method for welding deformation in marine thin plate butt welds.This method is based on the coupled temperature gradient-thermal strain method(TG-TSM)that integrates inherent strain theory with a shell element finite element model.The proposed method first extracts the distribution pattern and characteristic value of welding-induced inherent strain through TEP-FEM analysis.This strain is then converted into the equivalent thermal load applied to the shell element model for rapid computation.The proposed method-particularly,the gradual temperature gradient-thermal strain method(GTG-TSM)-achieved improved computational efficiency and consistent precision.Furthermore,the proposed method required much less computation time than the traditional TEP-FEM.Thus,this study lays the foundation for future prediction of welding deformation in more complex marine thin plates.

文摘Exploring a simple,rapid,solvent-free synthetic method for mass production of cheap,broadband mi-crowave absorbers remains the main challenge.Here,a mild solvent-free procedure is reported to syn-thesize zinc oxide nanoparticles(ZnO NPs)embedded in porous carbon derived from mixing sucrose and zinc nitrate hexahydrate.The characteristic morphology and the ZnO NPs distribution in these compos-ites were tuned using the different raw materials proportions.The mesoporous structure of porous car-bon benefits the compositional advantages between carbon foam and ZnO NPs.The optimal synthesized ZnO/C-2 carbon material demonstrates the strongest absorption of-41.7 dB with a frequency of 14.5 GHz at a thin thickness of 2 mm,and its widest effective absorption is close to 6 GHz(12.2-17.8 GHz).This work produces a feasible route for the sensible design of other effective microwave absorbers for large-scale production.

文摘γ-MnO2 nanorobs and Au/γ-MnO2 catalysts were synthesized and characterized by the X-ray powder diffraction XRD the scanning electron microscope SEM and transmission electron microscope TEM . The characterizations show that Au particles are well dispersed on the surface of γ-MnO2 nanorobs with a particle size of about 10 nm.The catalytic performance is evaluated in solvent-free toluene oxidation with oxygen. The influences of several process parameters such as reaction time reaction temperature initial oxygen pressure and catalyst amounts on the catalytic performance are studied.Catalytic results reveal that Au/γ-MnO2 catalyst has a unique selectivity to benzaldehyde and all these factors greatly influence the conversion of toluene and selectivity of bezaldehyde benzoic acid and benzyl benzoate.However these factors have slight influence on the selectivity of benzyl alcohol.

文摘The effects of calcination temperature on the physicochemical properties of manganese oxide catalysts prepared by a precipitation method were assessed by X-ray diffraction,N2 adsorption-desorption,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,H2 temperature-programmed reduction,O2 temperature-programmed desorption,and thermogravimetry-differential analysis.The catalytic performance of each of these materials during the selective oxidation of cyclohexane with oxygen in a solvent-free system was subsequently examined.It was found that the MnOx-500 catalyst,calcined at 500 °C,consisted of a Mn2O3 phase in addition to Mn5O8 and Mn3O4 phases and possessed a low surface area.Unlike MnOx-500,the MnOx-400 catalyst prepared at 400 °C was composed solely of Mn3O4 and Mn5O8 and had a higher surface area.The pronounced catalytic activity of this latter material for the oxidation of cyclohexene was determined to result from numerous factors,including a higher concentration of surface adsorbed oxygen,greater quantities of the surface Mn4+ ions that promote oxygen mobility and the extent of O2 adsorption and reducibility on the catalyst.The effects of various reaction conditions on the activity of the MnOx-400 during the oxidation of cyclohexane were also evaluated,such as the reaction temperature,reaction time,and initial oxygen pressure.Following a 4 h reaction at an initial O2 pressure of 0.5 MPa and 140 °C,an 8.0% cyclohexane conversion and 5.0% yield of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone were achieved over the MnOx-400 catalyst.In contrast,employing MnOx-500 resulted in a 6.1% conversion of cyclohexane and 75% selectivity for cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone.After being recycled through 10 replicate uses,the catalytic activity of the MnOx-400 catalyst was unchanged,demonstrating its good stability.

文摘A series of Co-imbedded zeolite-based catalysts were synthesized following a facile solvent-free grinding route.The catalytic performance for direct syngas conversion to gasoline range hydrocarbons was compared with their counterpart Co-impregnated zeolite-based catalysts.Successful transformation of solid raw materials to targeted zeolite was confirmed by XRD,SEM,STEM,and N2 physisorption analysis.An in-depth study of acidic strength and acidic site distribution was conducted by NH3-TPD and Py-IR spectroscopy.Acidic strength showed a pivotal role in defining product range.Co@S1,with the weakest acidic strength of silicalite-1 among three types of zeolites,evaded over-cracking of product and exhibited the highest gasoline and isoparaffin selectivity(≈70%and 30.7%,respectively).Moreover,the solvent-free raw material grinding route for zeolite synthesis accompanies several advantages like the elimination of production of wastewater,high product yield within confined crystallization space,and elimination of safety concerns regarding high pressure due to the absence of the solvent.Facileness and easiness of the solvent-free synthesis route together with promising catalytic performance strongly support its application on the industrial scale.

文摘Carbides/carbon composites are emerging as a new kind of binary dielectric systems with good microwave absorption performance.Herein,we obtain a series of tungsten carbide/carbon composites through a simple solvent-free strategy,where the solid mixture of dicyandiamide(DCA)and ammonium metatungstate(AM)is employed as the precursor.Ultrafine cubic WC1-x nanoparticles(3-4 nm)are in situ generated and uniformly dispersed on carbon nanosheets.This configuration overcomes some disadvantages of conventional carbides/carbon composites and is greatly helpful for electromagnetic dissipation.It is found that the weight ratio of DCA to AM can regulate chemical composition of these composites,while less impact on the average size of WC1-x nanoparticles.With the increase in carbon nanosheets,the relative complex permittivity and dielectric loss ability are constantly enhanced through conductive loss and polarization relaxation.The different dielectric properties endow these composites with distinguishable attenuation ability and impedance matching.When DCA/AM weight ratio is 6.0,the optimized composite can produce good microwave absorption performance,whose strongest reflection loss intensity reaches up to-55.6 dB at 17.5 GHz and qualified absorption bandwidth covers 3.6-18.0 GHz by manipulating the thickness from 1.0 to 5.0 mm.Such a performance is superior to many conventional carbides/carbon composites.
