With increasing nitrogen a phase transition from a single WNxphase with low crystallinity structure to a well-mixed crystallized hexagonal WNxand face-centered-cubic W2N phases appears. Relatively smooth morphology at lower N2concentration changes to a really smooth morphology and then granular with coarse surface at higher N2concentration. The SEM observation clearly shows a columnar structure at lower N2concentration and a dense nanoplates one for higher nitrogen content. The hardness of WNxthin films mainly depends on the film microstructure. The absorbance peak position shifts to shorter wavelength continuously with increasing nitrogen amount and decreasing particle size.展开更多

The single-crystal X-ray diffraction data reveal its orthorhombic symmetry in space group Cmca(no. 64) with a = 15.271(3), b = 13.414(2), c = 18.869(3) A°, V = 3865.2(2) A°^3, Z = 8, Mr = 1696.85, Dc = 5.832 g/cm^3, μ = 36.538 mm^-1, F(000) = 5768, the final R = 0.0225 and w R = 0.0517 for 2258 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ(I), 2.67〈θ〈27.48o, w = 1/[σ^2(Fo^2) +(0.0443 P)2 + 8.7453 P], where P =(Fo^2 + 2Fc^2)/3, S = 1.036,(Δρ)max = 1.609 and(Δρ)min = –1.922. The remarkable structural feature is the dual tricapped Cs2@S18 cube closed cavities far apart within the three-dimensional [Yb7S(11)]-covalent bonding matrix. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that the title compound exhibits temperature-dependent(50~300 K) para-magnetism and obey the Curie-Weiss law. Moreover, the optical gap of 2.03 Ev for CsYb7S11 was deduced from the UV/Vis reflectance spectroscopy and DFT study indicates an indirect band gap with an electronic transfer excitation of S-3p to Yb-5d orbital.
文摘Reaction products of 2,4,6-tris(4-phenyl-phenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine derived from 4-phenylphenol cyanate ester and phenyl glycidyl ether were analyzed. In addition to an isocyanurate compound and an oxazolidone compound which were well known as reaction products of cyanate esters and epoxy resins, compounds with hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate were determined. Gibbs free energies of the compound having hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate with two isocyanurate moiety were found to be lower than that of the compound with cyanurate ring structure through calculations. Calculation data supported the existence of hybrid ring structure of cy-anurate/isocyanurate. It was revealed that isomerization from cyanurate to isocyanurate occurs via hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate in the reaction of aryl cyanurate and epoxy.

文摘A new cobalt selenite,Ca_2Co(HSeO3)_2(SeO_3)_2,was synthesized by a conventional hydrothermal method. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that Ca_2Co(HSeO3)_2(SeO_3)_2 crystallizes in triclinic system,space group P1,with a = 5.330(5),b = 7.047(7),c = 8.457(9) ?,V = 285.0(5) ?~3,Z = 1,Mr = 646.93,Dc = 3.769,μ = 15.235 mm^(-1),F(000) = 299.0,the final R = 0.0452 and wR = 0.1169 for observed 1265 reflections with I 〉 2σ(I). The title compound consists of isolated chains built from CoO_6 octahedra and SeO_3 pyramids. In this structure,the chains are separated by Ca^(2+) cations. Magnetic measurements confirm that the title compound exhibits long-range antiferromagnetic ordering at 3 K and field-induced magnetic transition at 2 T.
文摘WNxfilms are deposited by reactive chemical vapor deposition at different amounts of nitrogen in gas mixtures.Experimental data demonstrate that nitrogen amount has a strong effect on microstructure, phase formation,texture morphology, mechanical and optical properties of the WNxfilms. With increasing nitrogen a phase transition from a single WNxphase with low crystallinity structure to a well-mixed crystallized hexagonal WNxand face-centered-cubic W2N phases appears. Relatively smooth morphology at lower N2concentration changes to a really smooth morphology and then granular with coarse surface at higher N2concentration. The SEM observation clearly shows a columnar structure at lower N2concentration and a dense nanoplates one for higher nitrogen content. The hardness of WNxthin films mainly depends on the film microstructure. The absorbance peak position shifts to shorter wavelength continuously with increasing nitrogen amount and decreasing particle size.

文摘A new intermetallic compound, SmCuT.vslns.27, has been synthesized by solid-state reaction of the corresponding pure elements at high temperature, and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. SmCu7.731n3.27 crystallizes in tetragonal space group P4/mbm with a = 8.6213(4), c = 10.2538(9), V= 762.13(8) A3, Z = 4, M,. = 1018.90, Dc= 8.880 g/cm3,μ = 38.244 mm-1, F(000) = 1789, and the final R = 0.0374 and wR = 0.0836 for 514 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ(I). The structure of SmCu7.69In3.31 belongs to a new structure type and features a three-dimensional (3D) [Cusln2M4] (M = Cu/In) framework composed of [CusinnM4] clusters interconnected via sharing In atoms as well as Cu-ln and In-In bonds. The Sm atoms are located in the one-dimensional (1 D) tunnels along the c-axis. The structural relationship of the title compound with other similar Sm-Cu-In phases was also studied. Band structure calculations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) method indicate that SmCuT.69In3.31 is metallic.

文摘Solvothermal reaction of manganese(II) salt with monosodium 2-sulfoterephthalate(2-NaH2stp) and two multi-pyridine N-containing auxiliary ligands results in the formation of two new complexes formulated with [Mn2(Hstp)2(bpp)2(H2O)4](1) and [Mn3(stp)2(tpy)3(H2O)](H2O)5(2)(bpp = benz-2,3-pyrimidine-[2,3-f]-1,10-phenanthroline, tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine). X-ray diffraction structural analyses of two complexes reveal their structural diversity(0D and 1D) due to the difference of auxiliary ligands. 1 is a discrete structure, in which the Mn(Ⅱ) ion is hexa-coordinated with one stp, one bpp ligand and two water molecules. Complex 2 is a one-dimensional(1D) chain-like structure with three crystallographically independent Mn(Ⅱ) ions. The photoluminescent properties could be assigned to the π-π* transition of 2-sulfoterephthalate ligands.

文摘We describe here a one-step method for the synthesis of Au/TiO2 nanosphere materials,which were formed by layered deposition of multiple anatase TiO2 nanosheets.The Au nanoparticles were stabilized by structural defects in each TiO2 nanosheet,including crystal steps and edges,thereby fixing the Au-TiO2 perimeter interface.Reactant transfer occurred along the gaps between these TiO2 nanosheet layers and in contact with catalytically active sites at the Au-TiO2 interface.The doped Au induced the formation of oxygen vacancies in the Au-TiO2 interface.Such vacancies are essential for generating active oxygen species(-*O^-) on the TiO2 surface and Ti^3+ ions in bulk TiO2.These ions can then form Ti^3+-O^--Ti^4+species,which are known to enhance the catalytic activity of formaldehyde(HCHO) oxidation.These studies on structural and oxygen vacancy defects in Au/TiO2 samples provide a theoretical foundation for the catalytic mechanism of HCHO oxidation on oxide-supported Au materials.

文摘High entropy alloys(HEAs)have garnered significant attention due to their distinctive properties,while their precise regulation remains at infancy stage.Herein,we report PtSnBiPdIn HEA nanoparticles with tensilestrain and nanoporous structures as high-performance electrocatalysts for oxidation of ethylene glycol to CO_(2).The mass activity(MA)of the PtSnBiPdIn/C catalyst for alkaline ethylene glycol oxidation reaction(EGOR)are 29.76 A·mgPt+Pd−1,which not only substantially surpasses those of commercial Pt/C and Pd/C catalysts but also ranks among the best reported EGOR catalysts.Moreover,this catalyst also greatly enhances in electrocatalytic performance for both methanol oxidation reaction(MOR)and ethanol oxidation reaction(EOR),showcasing its versatility across a wide range of alcohol oxidation reactions.In-situ Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy confirms the preferential selection of the non-CO reaction pathway.Density functional theory(DFT)calculation reveals that the PtSnBiPdIn HEA nanoparticles exhibit enhanced electron transfer,superior catalytic activity,and remarkable CO poisoning resistance.

文摘Highly efficient and durable water oxidation electrocatalysts are critically important in a wide range of clean energy technologies,including water electrolyzers and rechargeable metal-air batteries.Here,we report a novel sonochemical approach to synthesize amorphous nickel-iron oxides/carbon nanohybrids with tunable compositions for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER).The sonochemically synthesized amorphous electrocatalysts with optimal composition exhibit a low overpotential of 290 mV at 10 mA·cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 31 mV·decade-1 in a 0.1 M KOH electrolyte,outperforming the benchmark RuO2 catalyst.Meanwhile,these nanohybrids are also highly stable and remain amorphous even after prolonged cycling.In addition to amorphism,sonochemistry endows as-prepared nickel-iron oxides/carbon nanohybrids with a simultaneously formed carbon scaffold and internal Ni(0),which can enhance the stability and activity for the OER.This work demonstrates that sonochemistry is a unique method for synthesizing amorphous metal oxides toward an efficient and durable OER.
文摘A variety of phenyl alkyl sulfides were oxidized enantioselectively with NaIO_4 in chiral micellar systems formed from eight chiral surfactants,to give optical active sulfoxides.The enantiomer excesses ranged from 1.6 to 15.0%.To understand the mechanistic detail of this asymmetric oxi- dation in chiral micelle,the effects of structure both in substrates and surfactants on the optical yield of the oxidation were studied and discussed.Generally,increasing the alkyl chain length both in sur- factants and in substrates enhances the optical yield,also the surfactant with hydroxy group at its appropriate position gives better enantioselectivity,suggesting the enzymic characteristics of the chiral micelle.
