A plethora of methodologies were developed based on this concept, and transition metal-catalysis plays a central role among others catalysis systems own to its longstanding history. While a chemodivergent reaction based on organo-catalysis, especially photocatalysis, is rather limited as these concepts were only prevalent in the last two decades. With the ever-increasing importance of photocatalysis, a chemodivergent reaction based on such an activation pathway would be a meaningful direction. Herein, an efficient chemodivergent strategy for visible light photocatalysis is developed. By employing commercially available Rose Bengal as a photocatalyst, naturally occurring Viridicatin and its derivatives can be transformed into three different types of products through switchable single electron transfer (SET) or energy transfer (EnT) processes. Mechanistic studies have revealed that the oxygen as a reactive center, rather than carbon, is favored, which accounts for the first example of a C–O homo-dimerization product.展开更多

文摘Ethylene(C_(2)H_(4))in vehicle exhaust is a highly reactive volatile organic compound(VOC).Its photooxidative reaction with NOx contributes to the formation of O3 and secondary organic aerosols(SOA),the latter being a key precursor of PM_(2.5).In this study,a novel MgO-supported Ag-Cu bimetallic catalyst was designed and investigated using density functional theory(DFT).The effects of Ag and Cu loading on the geometric structure,stability,and reactant adsorption characteristics of the catalyst were analyzed,and the catalytic oxidation pathways of C_(2)H_(4)over AgCu-MgO was elucidated.The results indicate that loading Ag significantly enhances the adsorption of C_(2)H_(4).The incorporation of Cu into Ag-MgO to form a AgCu-MgO bimetallic catalyst(dual atom catalyst,DACS)further improves the oxidative activity toward C_(2)H_(4).Based on the binding energies of the Ag and Cu bimetallic sites and the adsorption energies of C_(2)H_(4)and O_(2),three representative configurations were selected for detailed reaction pathway analysis.Among them,Configuration 6 of AgCu-MgO exhibited the highest catalytic oxidation performance.This study provides new atomic-scale insights for the rational design of efficient catalysts targeting olefinic pollutants in automotive emissions and offers valuable guidance for advancing exhaust after-treatment technologies.

文摘Perovskite oxides are highly promising catalysts for the combustion removal of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)due to their excellent stability,structural flexibility,and compositional versatility.This study presents a novel perovskite oxide that exhibits enhanced catalytic activity and superior durability for toluene combustion at reduced temperatures.This improvement is achieved by phosphorus doping at the B-site of LaCoO_(3-δ)(LC)perovskite oxide,followed by post-synthesis acid etching for a proper time.The resulting catalyst demonstrates increased specific surface area,higher total pore volume,and enhanced oxygen vacancy concentration both in the bulk and on the surface.Additionally,the activity of surface lattice oxygen species is significantly improved,leading to enhanced catalytic performance in toluene combustion.Notably,the optimized catalyst shows an exceptionally low activation energy(E_(a))of 49.3 kJ mol^(-1),with a T90 reduction of over 214℃compared to the phosphorus doped LC and 190℃compared to pristine LC.Phosphorus doping plays a main role in significantly improving the long-term durability,particularly in the presence of CO_(2)and H_(2)O,while acid etching boosts the catalytic activity.This work introduces a rational and innovative strategy for optimizing VOC oxidation by improving the structure and surface chemical states of perovskite catalysts.

文摘Severe internal oxidation formed in advanced high-strength steels(AHSSs)during the hot-rolled coiling process compromises subsequent cold rolling and galvanizing processes.Herein,we report how Sn microalloying governs internal oxidation behavior and modulates iron oxide phase transition process.Sn addition significantly reduces the depth of grain boundaries oxidation and the area of internal oxidation,as well as retards the process of oxide scale transformation.Sn preferentially segregates at the iron oxide/substrate interface,forming a diffusion barrier that suppresses outward diffusion of alloying elements and inward oxygen transport.Concurrently,Sn enrichment at grain boundaries obstructs short-circuit oxygen diffusion pathways,significantly reducing the depth of oxidation at the grain boundaries.Furthermore,Sn segregation decreases the interfacial oxygen chemical potential and oxygen availability for selective oxidation reaction.The strategic incorporation of surface-active elements has emerged as a viable metallurgical approach to reduce internal oxidation in hot-rolled coils for AHSS applications.

文摘Peroxymonosulfate(PMS)-based Fenton-like technologies have been increasingly employed in the upgrading of biomass,but they are commonly limited by the trade-off between conversion and selectivity due to the short lifetime of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and uncontrollable oxidation pathways.Herein,we show that single-atom Co supported on carbon nitride enables the high-valent-oxo cobalt species(Co(IV)O)mediated oxidation of glucose into value-added products in acetonitrile.This photocatalytic Fenton-like system achieved an overall selectivity of gluconic acid,glucaric acid,arabinose,and formic acid up to 90.3%at glucose conversion of 69.6%,outperforming most of previously reported catalytic systems.The small amount(0.72 wt%)of single-atom Co could not only elevate the optical absorption and the efficiency of photo-generated carriers separation but also induce the efficient generation of Co(IV)O with reduced ROS to enable efficient and selective oxidation.These findings prove the great promise of high-valent metal-oxo species in biomass conversions.

文摘A chemodivergent reaction is an appealing way to construct molecules with enriched structure diversity in a controlled manner. A plethora of methodologies were developed based on this concept, and transition metal-catalysis plays a central role among others catalysis systems own to its longstanding history. While a chemodivergent reaction based on organo-catalysis, especially photocatalysis, is rather limited as these concepts were only prevalent in the last two decades. With the ever-increasing importance of photocatalysis, a chemodivergent reaction based on such an activation pathway would be a meaningful direction. Herein, an efficient chemodivergent strategy for visible light photocatalysis is developed. By employing commercially available Rose Bengal as a photocatalyst, naturally occurring Viridicatin and its derivatives can be transformed into three different types of products through switchable single electron transfer (SET) or energy transfer (EnT) processes. Mechanistic studies have revealed that the oxygen as a reactive center, rather than carbon, is favored, which accounts for the first example of a C–O homo-dimerization product.

文摘Fine-grained nuclear graphite is a key material in high-temperature gas-cooled reactors(HTGRs).During air ingress accidents,core graphite components undergo severe oxidation,threatening structural integrity.Therefore,understanding the oxidation behavior of nuclear graphite is essential for reactor safety.The influence of oxidation involves multiple factors,including temperature,sample size,oxidant,impurities,filler type and size,etc.The size of the filler particles plays a crucial role in this study.Five ultrafine-and superfine-grained nuclear graphite samples(5.9-34.4μm)are manufactured using identical raw materials and manufacturing processes.Isothermal oxidation tests conducted at 650℃-750℃ are used to study the oxidation behavior.Additionally,comprehensive characterization is performed to analyze the crystal structure,surface morphology,and nanoscale to microscale pore structure of the samples.Results indicate that oxidation behavior cannot be predicted solely based on filler grain size.Reactive site concentration,characterized by active surface area,dominates the chemical reaction kinetics,whereas pore tortuosity,quantified by the structural parameterΨ,plays a key role in regulating oxidant diffusion.These findings clarify the dual role of microstructure in oxidation mechanisms and establish a theoretical and experimental basis for the design of high-performance nuclear graphite capable of long-term service in high-temperature gas-cooled reactors.

文摘The ablation behavior of ZrC-coated C/C composites is a complex coupling process involving thermal,mechanical,chemical interactions,formation and propagation of cracks.In the present study,we propose a peridynamic(PD)thermo-mechanical-oxidation-diffusion coupled model to describe such a phenomenon comprehensively.Firstly,motion and heat transfer equations are formulated,incorporating growth strain governed by the Clarke model.The oxidation rate of the material is evaluated using diffusion equilibrium and oxidation equations.In addition,the effects of oxidation on different materials are considered,such as growth strain in ZrC materials and material consumption caused by oxidation of C/C composites.To characterize the material failure caused by mechanical and chemical reactions in ablation,a porosity criterion is proposed and its effect on diffusion is considered.The reliability and accuracy of the proposed PD model are validated by analyzing the oxidation process of C/C composites and ZrC and comparing with experimental results.Further,the model effectively captured the crack propagation and oxidation of ZrC-coated C/C composites in an oxyacetylene environment.

文摘Electrocatalytic glucose oxidation to high-value chemicals provides a sustainable route for biomass valorization.NiCo-based catalysts have emerged as promising candidates for glucose oxidation reaction owing to the intrinsic activity of Ni and Co catalytic centers.However,the dynamic evolution and atomic-scale synergy between these centers remain elusive.Herein,we fabricated NiCo_(2)O_(4)nanosheets supported on nickel foam,where Ni preferentially occupies tetrahedral sites to regulate the electronic configuration of octahedral Co.Experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that the incorporation of tetrahedral Ni induces low-to-intermediate spin transition in octahedral Co,thereby optimizing eg orbital occupancy and stabilizing active sites.This spin-state engineering establishes Ni-Co synergistic catalytic centers for the selective oxidation of glucose to formate(FA).At higher potential(≥1.4 V vs.RHE),octahedral Co undergoes reconstruction into excessive active CoOOH and CoO_(2)species,resulting in glucose overoxidation to CO_(2)and intensified competitive oxygen evolution.In contrast,at lower potentials(<1.4 V vs.RHE),tetrahedral Ni facilitates electron delocalization across the Ni–O–Co lattice,thereby stabilizing octahedral Co for glucose adsorption and oxidation.Subsequently,a coupled electrocatalytic system was constructed,achieving 80.7%FA yield with 91.3%Faradaic efficiency(FE)at NiCo_(2)O_(4)anode and H2 evolution rate of 696μmol h^(−1)with 99.9%FE at Pt cathode for 2 h under 1.35 V vs.RHE.This work provides a deep insight into spin-state regulation of the catalytic center,offering valuable guidance for rational catalyst design.

文摘The performance of hematite(α-Fe_(2)O_(3))photoanodes for photoelectrochemical(PEC)water splitting has been limited to around 2-5 mA cm^(-2)under standard conditions due to their short hole diffusion length and sluggish oxygen evolution reaction kinetics.This work overcomes those challenges through a synergistic strategy that co-designs the hematite architecture and the surface reaction pathway.We introduce a textured and hierarchically porous Ti-doped Fe_(2)O_(3)(tp-Fe_(2)O_(3))photoanode,synthesized via multi-cycle growth and flame annealing method.This unique architecture features a high texture(110),enlarged surface area,and hierarchically porous structure,which enable significantly enhanced bulk charge transport and interfacial charge transfer compared to typical nanorod Ti-doped Fe_(2)O_(3)(nr-Fe_(2)O_(3)).As a result,the tp-Fe_(2)O_(3)photoanode achieves a photocurrent density of 3.1 mA cm^(-2)at 1.23 V vs.RHE with exceptional stability over 105 h,notably without any co-catalyst.By replacing the OER with the hydrazine oxidation reaction,the photocurrent further reaches a record-high level of 7.1 mA cm^(-2)at 1.23 V_(RHE).Finally,when we integrate the tp-Fe_(2)O_(3)with a commercial Si solar cell,it achieves a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 8.7%-the highest reported value for any Fe_(2)O_(3)-based PVtandem system.This work provides critical insights into rational Fe_(2)O_(3)photoanode design and highlights the potential of hydrazine as an efficient alternative anodic reaction,enabling waste valorization.

文摘An advanced AlCrSiN/AlCrN/CrN/Cr multilayer coating was developed via hybrid multiarc ion plating and high-power impulse magnetron sputtering.The multilayer design enhanced the substrate-coating compatibility,achieving a critical load of 87.8 N.Silicon doping induced nanocrystallization and amorphization,increasing the hardness to 26 GPa.At high temperatures,a nanoscale Cr-rich(Cr,Al)_(2)O_(3) layer was formed,effectively inhibiting oxygen diffusion.The coating underwent unique phase transformations,during which Cr_(2)N and amorphous Si3N4 were converted into dispersed SiCr_(3) nanoparticles,which stabilized Cr atoms and suppressed their outward diffusion.Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations revealed that Cr atoms exhibited higher chemical activity and oxygen-capture capability than Al atoms and Si atoms served as diffusion barriers by pinning onto the oxidized surface,considerably improving the oxidation resistance of the coating.

文摘Single-atom catalysts(SACs)have demonstrated excellent performance in heterogeneous catalytic reactions owing to their maximized atomic efficiency,distinctive geometric,and electronic configurations.However,the efficacy of SACs remains limited for certain reactions requiring simultaneous activation of multiple reactants over metallic active sites.Herein,we report an atomically dispersed Pt1Ru1 dual-atom pair site anchored on nanodiamond@graphene(ND@G)for CO oxidation.The Pt1Ru1 dual-atom catalyst shows an exceptional turnover frequency(TOF)of 17.6.10^(-2)s^(-1)at significantly lower temperature(30℃),achieving a tenfold increase in TOF compared to singleatom Pt1/ND@G catalyst(1.5.10^(-2)s^(-1))and surpassing to previously reported Pt-based catalysts under similar conditions.Moreover,the catalyst demonstrates excellent stability,maintaining its activity for 40 h at 80℃without significant deactivation.The superior catalytic performance of Pt-Ru dual-atom catalysts is attributed to the synergistic effect between Pt and Ru atoms with enhanced metallicity for improving simultaneous adsorption and activation of CO and O_(2),and the tuning of conventional competitive reactant adsorption into a non-competitive pathway over dual-atom pair sites.The present work manifests the advantages of dual-atom pair sites in heterogeneous catalysis and paves the way for precise design of catalysts at the atomic scale.

文摘Triterpenoids are valuable medicinal scaffolds,characterized by excellent pharmacological properties and the presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups that allow for further structural modifications.Expanding the scope of oxidative modifications on these molecules is crucial for increasing their synthetic structural diversity and unlocking new potential pharmacological activities.However,the progress has been limited by the scarcity of suitable tailoring enzymes.Here,we reported a break-through in achieving targeted and remote dual-site oxidation of licorice triterpenoids using a single P450 mutant.This approach successfully enabled the selective synthesis of the rare triterpenoid,liquiritic acid and 24-OH-liquiritic acid.Our findings demonstrate that microenvironmental accessibility engineering of triterpenoid substrates within the P450 enzyme is essential for continuous and regioselective oxidation.This study not only sheds light on the mechanistic aspects of P450 catalysis but also expands the enzymatic toolkit for selective oxidative modifications in triterpenoid biosynthesis.

文摘The high-temperature compressive deformation behavior of medium manganese steel using a four-roll reversible rolling mill is investigated,revealing the effects of different Mn contents on the thermal deformation behavior of oxidation products in the alloy.It is found that within the experimental temperature range,the higher the deformation temperature,the better the plasticity of the oxidation products.It was observed that increasing the Mn content refines the grains,enhances the deformation ability of the oxidation products,and improves the flatness of the interfaces.Since(Fe,Mn)O has a similar crystal structure to FeO,the addition of Mn refines the grains of(Fe,Mn)O,causing the deformation to be distributed across more grains under the same deformation amount,and thereby improving its plasticity.At the interface between Fe-Mn alloy oxidation products and the matrix,there exists a spinel-phase solid solution,which can deform together with the oxidation products and the matrix at high temperatures.It was found that with increasing the Mn content,the size and number of pores between the spinel phases increased.First-principles simulation calculations were used to verify this,showing that Mn promotes the generation of vacancies.The greater number of pores in the spinel phase can effectively relieve the compressive stress caused by rolling deformation,thereby improving the deformation capability of the oxidation products at the interface.

文摘Selective depression of pyrite remains a major bottleneck in copper flotation,particularly when high-pyrite ores are processed and saline water is used.In such environments,conventional approaches using lime and inert grinding media often fail to discriminate ef-fectively between pyrite and valuable copper minerals due to strong copper activation on pyrite surfaces.This study introduced a novel approach using inorganic radicals generated from peroxymonosulfate(PMS)to selectively oxidize and depress pyrite.Flotation tests with synthetic high-pyrite ore blends showed that PMS significantly reduced pyrite recovery while maintaining or improving chalcopyrite flot-ation.Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA)extraction confirmed selective oxidation of pyrite,and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)spectroscopy identified hydroxyl(·OH)and sulfate(SO_(4)^(·-))radicals as the dominant reactive species.Iron ions from grinding me-dia and mineral surfaces were identified as key activators of PMS.A major insight was pyrite’s dual role,acting both as a radical scav-enger and an activator,which made it highly reactive and susceptible to radical-induced oxidation.This process converted surface copper-sulfur species into copper hydroxides,effectively suppressing pyrite flotation.While previous studies have applied EPR to detect radicals in simplified activator/precursor systems,this study provides the first direct mechanistic evidence of radical-driven selectivity in flotation by detecting inorganic radicals in a complex flotation slurry,thereby demonstrating their persistence under industrially relevant conditions and establishing a foundation for more effective and targeted flotation strategies.

文摘In this work,we constructed a three-dimensional electrochemical system(3D-ECO),which included the cathode and anode electrode plates,as well as the screening of three-dimensional particle electrodes and parameter opti-mization,for the degradation of landfill leachate(LL)containing elevated levels of tetracycline(TC),and explored its mechanism of action.Firstly,titanium-based ruthenium-iridium(Ti/RuO_(2)-IrO_(2)),titanium-based ruthenium-iridium-platinum(Ti/Pt-RuO_(2)-IrO_(2)),and titanium-based tin-antimony(Ti/SnO_(2)-Sb_(2)O_(3))were employed as an-odes in the electrocatalytic oxidation system,with titanium and stainless steel plates serving as cathodes,to construct the optimal two-dimensional electrocatalytic oxidation system(2D-ECO)through cross-comparison ex-periments.Subsequently,using granular activated carbon(GAC),coconut shell biochar(CBC),walnut shell carbon(WBC),and bamboo charcoal(BBC)as particle electrodes,a 3D-ECO system was developed.The influence of var-ious operational parameters on treating TC-containing LL was investigated.The optimal operating parameters obtained from the study was:pH=5,current density of 30 mA/cm^(2),particle dosage of 7 g/L,particle size ranging from 1.70 to 2.00 mm,and electrode spacing of 4 cm.Under these conditions,the COD removal rate of 3D-ECO within three hours was 90.25%,the TC removal rate was 72.41%,and the NH_(3)-N removal rate was 39.52%.The removal of TC followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic model.Additionally,degradation mechanisms were elucidated through electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)spectrometer and Tert-Butanol(TBA)quenching experiments,indicating that the degradation primarily occurred through a non-radical(1O_(2))pathway.This re-search offers a comprehensive analysis of the simultaneous breakdown of intricate LL matrices and TC,enhancing our comprehension of the degradation processes and underlying mechanisms.
