Absorption profiles of a lead line were meas- ured at various compositions of iron and palladium. Variations in the gas temperature were also estimated with the progress of atomization, by using a two-line method under the assumption of a Boltzmann distribu- tion. Each addition of iron and palladium increased the lead absorbance in both the atomizers, indicating that iron or palladium became an effective matrix modifier for the determination of lead. Especially, palladium played a significant role for controlling chemical species of lead at the charring stage in the platform-type atomizer, to change several chemical species to a single species and eventually to yield a dominant peak of the lead absorbance at the atomizing stage. Furthermore, the addition of palladium delayed the peak after the gas atmosphere in the atomizer was heated to a higher temperature. These phenomena would be because the temperature of the platform at the charring stage was elevated more slowly compared to that of the furnace wall, and also because a thermally-stable compound, such as a palladium-lead solid solution, was produced by their metallurgical reaction during heating of the charring stage. A platform-type atomizer with palladium as the matrix modifier is recommended for the determination of lead in GF-AAS. The optimum condition for this was obtained in a coexistence of 1.0 × 10–2 g/dm3 palladium, when the charring at 973 K and then the atomizing at 3073 K were conducted.展开更多

文摘The development of catalysts with highly efficient oxygen evolution performance and low-Ir loading is key to scaling up the application of proton exchange membrane(PEM)water electrolysis technology.Here,an Ir-skin catalyst(Ir@KM)is realized on a potassium-manganese oxide(K_(0.25)MnO_(x)(KM))using an ion-exchange method.The Ir-skin over the prepared Ir@KM has a low Ir-Ir atomic distance,endowing an energetically favorable oxide path mechanism to allow a low theoretical overpotential of 0.13 V.Ir@KM offers a low overpotential of~280 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm^(-2)and provides a high mass activity of up to 18,500 A at a cell voltage of 1.8 V in PEM,which is 17.6 times higher than that of IrO_(2),demonstrating a significant advantage in reducing the cost of the membrane electrode.The presented Ir-skin concept represents a promising strategy to fabricate low-Ir catalyst with high activity and durability for practical applications of PEM.

文摘Ice premelting,the formation of a quasi-liquid layer on ice surfaces below the bulk melting point,plays a crucial role in various processes,ranging from glacier dynamics to ice friction and surface chemistry.Despite intensive research,the microscopic structure of the premelting layer and underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood.In this work,we studied the temperature-and pressure-dependent structural disordering of crystalline Ih(0001)surface near the onset of premelting on the atomic scale by qPlus-based cryogenic atomic force microscopy.The linear correlation between the density of planar local structure(PLS)and the fraction of disordered surface region showed that the PLS mediated early-stage premelting by serving as a metastable seeding state.Notably,the associated surface disordering is cooperative,extending over an area of roughly~2 nm^(2) around a PLS.We further found a striking structural similarity between the kinetic-trapped regime below the surface crystallization temperature(T_(c))and the premelting-dominated regime above T_(c).As the deposition pressure increased,the characteristic temperature dependence was preserved,with only T_(c) shifting to higher values due to kinetic effects.Finally,we proposed a surface phase diagram for ice Ih(0001)based on our experimental observations.

文摘Fenton-like technology based on peroxymonosulfate activation has shown great potential in refractory organics degradation.In this work,single Fe atom catalysts were synthesized through facile ball milling and exhibited very high performance in peroxymonosulfate activation.The Fe single-atom filled an N vacancy on the triazine ring edge of C_(3)N_(4),as confirmed through X-ray absorption fine structure,density functional calculation and elec-tron paramagnetic resonance.The SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4)/PMS system could completely remove phenol(20 mg/L)within 10 min and its first-order kinetic constant was 12.3 times that of the Fe_(3)O_(4)/PMS system.Under different ini-tial pH levels and in various anionic environments,SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4) still demonstrated excellent catalytic activity,achieving a removal rate of over 90%for phenol within 12 min.In addition,SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4) exhibited outstanding selectivity in reaction systems with different pollutants,showing excellent degradation effects on electron-rich pollutants only.Hydroxyl radicals(•OH),singlet oxygen(1O_(2))and high-valent iron oxide(Fe(Ⅳ)=O)were de-tected in the SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4)/PMS system through free radical capture experiments.Further experiments on the quenching of active species and a methyl phenyl sulfoxide probe confirmed that 1O_(2) and Fe(Ⅳ)=O played dom-inant roles.Additionally,the change in the current response after adding PMS and phenol in succession proved that a direct electron transfer path between organic matter and the catalyst surface was unlikely to exist in the SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4)/PMS/Phenol degradation system.This study provides a new demonstration of the catalytic mech-anism of single-atom catalysts.

文摘The dissolvable polysulfides and sluggish Li_2S conversion kinetics are acknowledged as two significant challenges in the application lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries.Herein,we introduce a dual-doping strategy to modulate the electronic structure of MoS_(2),thereby obtaining a multifunctional catalyst that serves as an efficient sulfur host.The W/V dual single-atomdoped MoS_(2)grown on carbon nanofibers(CMWVS)demonstrates a strong adsorption ability for lithium polysulfides,suppressing the shuttle effects.Additionally,the doping process also results in the phase transition from 2H-MoS_(2)to 1T-MoS_(2)and generates sufficient edge sulfur atoms,promoting the charge/electron transfer and enriching the reaction sites.All these merits contribute to the superior conversion reaction kinetics,leading to the outstanding Li-S battery performance.When fabricated as cathodes by compositing with sulfur,the CMWVS/S cathode delivers a high capacity of 1481.7 mAh g^(-1)at 0.1 C(1 C=1672 mAh g^(-1))and maintains 816.3 m Ah g^(-1)after 1000 cycles at 1.0 C,indicating outstanding cycling stability.Even under a high sulfur loading of 7.9 mg cm^(-2)and lean electrolyte conditions(E/S ratio of 9.0μL mg^(-1)),the cathode achieves a high areal capacity of 8.2 m Ah cm^(-2),showing great promise for practical Li-S battery applications.This work broadens the scope of doping strategies in transition-metal dichalcogenides by tailoring their electronic structures,providing insightful direction for the rational development of high-efficiency electrocatalysts for advanced Li-S battery applications.

文摘A visible-light-induced synergistic hydrogen atom transfer(HAT)and proton transfer(PT)catalysis was developed for the defluorinative carboxylation of α-CF_(2)R-substituted alkenes.This system affords a variety of γ,γ-difluoro-and γ-monofluoro-vinylacetic acids without stepwise acidification,exhibiting good functional group tolerance,broad scope,and facile scalability.Mechanism studies support that thiol plays the role of the hydrogen relay,which s a hydrogen atom through HAT and then outputs a proton via PT.This strategy also takes full advantage of formate for photocatalytic carboxylation reaction in a step-and atomeconomical way.

文摘Metal-support interaction(MSI) is crucial for fine-tuning the active-site structure of supported catalysts and enhancing performance.Here,we present an ammonia-directed reactive gas-metal-support interaction(RGMSI),in which NH_(3) reduces ZnO and assembles an anti-perovskite Ni_(3)ZnN structure with interstitial nitrogen,significantly boosting hydrogenation efficiency.Nitrogen incorporation expands the lattice parameter,increasing the(111) lattice spacing from 2.04Å in Ni to 2.18Å in Ni_(3)ZnN,with an extended Ni-Ni interatomic distance from 2.49Å to 2.65Å.Additionally,Ni-N coordination shifts the d-band center downward and induces electron deficiency in Ni via charge transfer.These modifications optimize reactant adsorption on the tailored Ni_(3)ZnN structure compared to Ni,leading to a remarkable increase in 1,3-butadiene hydrogenation selectivity from 30.0 % to 92.9 %,along with an enhanced TOF from 0.067 s^(-1) to 0.079 s^(-1).These findings highlight RGMSI as a versatile and effective strategy for designing supported metal catalysts,offering new insights into selective hydrogenation catalysis.

文摘High-pressure electrides,characterized by the presence of interstitial quasi-atoms(ISQs),possess unique electronic structures and physical properties,such as diverse dimensions of electride states exhibiting different superconductivity,which has attracted significant attention.Here,we report a new electron-deficient type of electride Li_(4)Al and identify its phase transition progress with pressurization,where the internal driving force behind phase transitions,bonding characteristics,and superconducting behaviors have been revealed based on first-principles density functional theory.Through analysis of the bonding properties of electride Li_(4)Al,we demonstrate that the ISQs exhibiting increasingly covalent characteristics between Al ions play a critical role in driving the phase transition.Our electron–phonon coupling calculations indicate that all phases exhibit superconducting behaviors.Importantly,we prove that the ISQs behave as free electrons and demonstrate that the factor governing T_(c) is primarily derived from Li-p-hybridized electronic states with ISQ compositions.These electronic states are scattered by low-frequency phonons arising from mixed vibrations of Li and Al affected by ISQs to enhance electron–phonon coupling.Our study largely expands the research scope of electrides,provides new insight for understanding phase transitions,and elucidates the effects of ISQs on superconducting behavior.
