The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of cis-[Co(N_(3))_(2)(en)_(2)]NO_(3)1 with different organonitriles(NCR)under focussed microwave irradiation produced bis-tetrazolate complexes[Co(N_(4)CR)_(2)(en)_(2)](NO_(3)).I...The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of cis-[Co(N_(3))_(2)(en)_(2)]NO_(3)1 with different organonitriles(NCR)under focussed microwave irradiation produced bis-tetrazolate complexes[Co(N_(4)CR)_(2)(en)_(2)](NO_(3)).Interestingly,in the case of 3-cyano pyridine the reaction produced both cis-and trans-isomers(cis-2 and trans-2),whereas for 4-cyano pyridine the compound obtained was exclusively cis(cis-3)and for 4-bromobenzonitrile it was only the trans-(trans-4)compound which was isolated.This indicates a probable role of remote substitution of the phenyl ring in dictating the formation of the preferential isomer.When starting from the trans-isomer of the diazido complex(trans-[Co(N_(3))_(2)(en)_(2)]ClO_(4),1a),upon reacting with different nitriles a mixture of cis-and trans-isomers of[Co(N_(4)CR)_(2)(en)_(2)]ClO_(4)was produced in each case,with a greater preference towards cis-geometry[R=4-NC_(5)H_(4)(cis-5 and trans-5),4-BrC_(6)H_(4)(cis-6 and trans-6)and C_(6)H_(5)(cis-7 and trans-7)].The preferential formation of the cis-analogue of compound trans-4 when starting from the trans-precursor was quite curious.A theoretical investigation of compounds trans-4 and cis-6 reveals that the greater stability of the trans-complex 4 may arise from additional van der Waals interactions in the solid state because of the presence of an extra DMF molecule as solvent of crystallization.However,an interacting counter-anion and a probable halogen–halogen interaction may also contribute to the formation of preferential isomers for cycloaddition complexes,even in the solution state.展开更多

文摘In this study,the holey graphene was prepared by microwave-assisted chemical etching.The three-dimensional(3D)holey graphene hydrogel was obtained through hydrothermal self-assembly method,followed by the introduction of FeCo_(2)S_(4)particles.The resulting holey graphene hydrogel,characterized by high specific surface area and abundant pores combined with FeCo_(2)S_(4)with high pseudocapacitance by interfacial interaction,shortened the mass transport path and enhanced the specific capacitance.The findings reveal that the holey graphene hydrogel/FeCo_(2)S_(4)(FeCo_(2)S_(4)/HGH)composite exhibits high specific capacitance and impressive rate capability(413.4 F·g^(-1)at 1 A·g^(-1),300.4 F·g^(-1)at 6 A·g^(-1)).The symmetric supercapacitor operated within a stable potential window of 0.1-1.6 V,achieving specific capacitance of 127.5 F·g^(-1)at 1 A·g^(-1),and can deliver 37.1 Wh·kg^(-1)at a power density of 1499 W·kg^(-1).Besides,under the current density of 3 A·g^(-1),the supercapacitor retained 90.8%of its capacitance after 5000 cycles,demonstrating exceptional cycle stability.This study presents an efficient method for fabricating advanced integrated supercapacitors electrodes with enhanced energy density.
文摘The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of cis-[Co(N_(3))_(2)(en)_(2)]NO_(3)1 with different organonitriles(NCR)under focussed microwave irradiation produced bis-tetrazolate complexes[Co(N_(4)CR)_(2)(en)_(2)](NO_(3)).Interestingly,in the case of 3-cyano pyridine the reaction produced both cis-and trans-isomers(cis-2 and trans-2),whereas for 4-cyano pyridine the compound obtained was exclusively cis(cis-3)and for 4-bromobenzonitrile it was only the trans-(trans-4)compound which was isolated.This indicates a probable role of remote substitution of the phenyl ring in dictating the formation of the preferential isomer.When starting from the trans-isomer of the diazido complex(trans-[Co(N_(3))_(2)(en)_(2)]ClO_(4),1a),upon reacting with different nitriles a mixture of cis-and trans-isomers of[Co(N_(4)CR)_(2)(en)_(2)]ClO_(4)was produced in each case,with a greater preference towards cis-geometry[R=4-NC_(5)H_(4)(cis-5 and trans-5),4-BrC_(6)H_(4)(cis-6 and trans-6)and C_(6)H_(5)(cis-7 and trans-7)].The preferential formation of the cis-analogue of compound trans-4 when starting from the trans-precursor was quite curious.A theoretical investigation of compounds trans-4 and cis-6 reveals that the greater stability of the trans-complex 4 may arise from additional van der Waals interactions in the solid state because of the presence of an extra DMF molecule as solvent of crystallization.However,an interacting counter-anion and a probable halogen–halogen interaction may also contribute to the formation of preferential isomers for cycloaddition complexes,even in the solution state.

文摘NiCo_(2)O_(4)nanoflowers were synthesized through a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method and used as a type support for Ni(OH)_(2)nanoparticles.In the three-dimensional NiCo_(2)O_(4)nanoflowers,twodimensional ultrathin nanosheets supported the Ni(OH)_(2)nanoparticles by homogeneous precipitation.The materials were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and Raman spectroscopy.The electrochemical oxidation of methanol was probed through the NiCo_(2)O_(4)/Ni(OH)_(2)modification on a glassy carbon electrode in an alkaline medium by employing cyclic voltammetry(CV)and chronoamperometry(CA).The current density of the NiCo_(2)O_(4)/Ni(OH)_(2)electrode in 1 M KOH with 0.5 M methanol ascends to 92.3 A g^(-1)and restores to 94.6%of the primitive value through the replacement with a new solution after a long-term CV cycling(500 cycles).Therefore,the compounds further corroborate their excellent electrocatalytic activity and superb perennial stability for methanol oxidation.This study demonstrates that NiCo_(2)O_(4)/Ni(OH)_(2)is a peculiar material with an outstanding performance in direct methanol fuel cells.

文摘Defective engineering is crucial for developing extremely effective electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).Herein,low-content platinum(Pt)loaded onto cerium dioxide(CeO₂)cubes with oxygen vacancies(Oᵥ)was developed via an ultrafast microwave quasi-solid-state approach(Pt/CeO₂-Oᵥ)within 60 s.The turnover frequency(TOF)and mass activity verify that the Pt/CeO₂-Oᵥsample demonstrates favorable HER activity owing to the generated Oᵥand the introduction of Pt,which reduce electrical resistance and enhance metal–support electronic interactions.The as-synthesized Pt/CeO₂-Oᵥsample demonstrates a low overpotential of 10 mV to reach 10 mA cm⁻²coupled with a small Tafel slope of 25.6 mV dec⁻¹in 0.5 M H₂SO₄,while also exhibiting remarkable long-term stability.This research paves the way for developing catalysts with exceptional catalytic activity and stability,holding promise in advanced green energy conversion through defect engineering and strong electronic interaction.

文摘Direct electrochemical nitrate reduction to ammonia(NRA)synthesis is an efficient and environmentally friendly production technology.However,the development of highly selective electrocatalysts is still a challenge due to the nine-proton and eight-electron reduction reaction.High-entropy alloys(HEAs)contain a wide range of elements and have adjustable properties,giving them excellent application potential in multi-step reactions.In this work,we skillfully use the local high temperature and excellent thermal conductivity generated at the reduced graphene oxide(rGO)defect in a microwave process to achieve a rapid quenching process in 10 seconds.This approach overcomes element immiscibility and results in a self-supported,single-phase,non-precious metal and uniform FeCoNiCuSn alloy electrode.The HEAs reach a remarkable NH3 yield of 883.7±11.2μg h^(-1) cm^(-2),maximum faradaic efficiency(FE)of 94.5±1.4%,and highest NH3 selectivity of 90.4±2.7%.Experimental and theoretical calculations reveal that the presence of multiple adjacent elements in HEAs triggers a synergistic catalytic effect,while the excellent mass and charge transfer properties of rGO jointly encourage the performance of the electrochemical NRA.In particular,NO3-favors vertical adsorption at Fe-Fe sites,and the desorption of NH3 is identified as the rate-determining step(RDS)with an extremely smallΔG value of 0.7 eV.
文摘Regulating interlayer distance is a crucial factor in the development of two‐dimensional(2D)nanomaterials.A 2D metal‐free photocatalyst,such as graphitic carbon nitride(g‐C3N4),exhibits morphology‐and microstructure‐dependent photocatalytic activity.Herein,we report a straightforward and facile route for the preparation of unique lamellar g‐C3N4,by co‐firing melamine and ammonium chloride via microwave‐assisted heating.Through the decomposition of NH4Cl,the evaporation of NH3 gas can effectively overcome van der Waals forces,expanding the interlayer distance of g‐C3N4,thereby creating a lamellar structure consisting of nanosheets.Compared with bulk g‐C3N4,the NH3‐derived lamellar g‐C3N4 exhibits a larger specific surface area and enhanced optical absorption capability,which increase photocatalytic hydrogen production because of the highly active structure,excellent utilization efficiency of photon energy,and low recombination efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers.This study provides a simple strategy for the regulation of the g‐C3N4 microstructure toward highly efficient photocatalytic applications.

文摘Microwave-assisted ignition(MAI)is a promising technology to improve the ignition stability in internal combustion engines under lean conditions.To investigate the interplay between the microwave pulses and the electrical characteristics of ignition plasma,the high-time-resolved electrical characteristics of MAI are measured based on the discharge voltage and current profiles with microwave power varying from 0 to 1000 W.The effects of microwave pulse on the electrical characteristics in the breakdown and glow discharge phases are discussed respectively.The results show that the microwave-induced-voltage-decline(MIVD)occurs during the glow discharge phase,which originates from the increment of free electrons and the additional microwave field.However,this voltage decline is insignificant in the breakdown phase.Moreover,as the free electron number reaches a critical value,a shining plasma can be observed between the gap of electrodes and the voltage decline is stabilized to a"saturated voltage curve".Ultimately,the effect of microwave plasma on the enhancement of ignition kernel area is explored.The result indicates that the enhancement effect increases with plasma duration rising.Those enhancements of earlier-generated plasmas are more significant than those of subsequent plasmas due to the distance limit of the plasma propulsive effect.
