The (E-CE)C/polystyrene(PS)multiphase polymer could be obtained by radical polymerization of the styrene in the solution. The (E-CE)C/PS multiphase polymer maintained both the crystalline structure of the (E-CE)C and the amorphous structure of the PS. In the multiphase polymer produced from the isotropic solution, however, the (E-CE)C formed spherulites and spread in the PS amorphous phase. While, in the multiphase polymer produced from the anisotropic solution, the (E-CE)formed cylinderic crystalline aggregates. Moreover, the ordered lamellar texture was also observed in the multiphase polymer produced from the anisotropic solution.展开更多

ZrO2-ipch is a much better support than ZrO2-cs and the traditional ZrO2 irregular particles made by a simple precipitation method （ZrO2-ip）. The supported Ni catalyst on ZrO2-ipch （Ni/ZrO2-ipch） exhibited outstanding catalytic activity and coke-resistant stability compared to the ones on ZrO2-cs （Ni/ZrO2-cs） and ZrO2-ip （Ni/ZrO2-ip）. Ni/ZrO2-ip exhibited the worst catalytic performance. The origin of the significantly enhanced catalytic performance was revealed by characterization including XRD, N2 adsorption measurement （BET）, TEM, H2-TPR, CO chemisorption, CO2-TPD, XPS and TGA. The superior catalytic activity of Ni/ZrO2-ipch to Ni/ZrO2-cs or Ni/ZrO2-ip was ascribed to a higher Ni dispersion, increased reducibility, enhanced oxygen mo- bility, and more basic sites with a higher strength, which were due to the unique hierarchically structural morphology of the ZrO2-ipch support. Ni/ZrO2-ipch exhibited better stability for the DRM reaction than Ni/ZrO2-ip, which was ascribed to its higher resistance to Ni sintering due to a strengthened metal-support interaction and the confinement effect of the mesopores and coke deposition resistance. The higher coking resistance of Ni/ZrO2-ipch for the DRM reaction in comparison with Ni/ZrOz-ip orignated from the coke-removalabitity of the higher amount of lattice oxygen and more basic sites, confirmed by XPS and CO2-TPD analysis, and the stabilized Ni on the Ni/ZrO2-ipch catalyst by the confinement effect of the mesopores of the hierarchical ZrO2-ipch sup- port. The superior catalytic performance and coking resistance of the Ni/ZrO2-ipch catalyst makes it a promising candidate for synthesis gas production from the DRM reaction.展开更多

Three kinds of hyphae are considered in the model: actively growing hyphae, non-growing hyphae and deactivated hyphae. Furthermore, actively growing hyphae consist of three morphological compartments: apical compartment which gives rise to hyphal tip extension; subapical compartment which is related to hyphal branching; and hyphal compartment which is only responsible for secondary metabolite formation. The kinetics of mycelial growth mechanism is summarized and applied in modeling lovastatin fermentation. A Michaelis-Menten kinetic model with substrate inhibition is proposed for product formation. As expected, the model simulations fit well with experimental data obtained either from a laboratory scale 10L fer-menter or from a pilot-plant scale fermenter.展开更多

A naturally-occurring leaf-color rice mutant, Baihuaidao 7, was analyzed. Mutant plants typically exhibited a green-white-green leaf-color progression, but this phenotype was only expressed in the presence of a stress signal induced by mechanical scarification such as transplantation. Prior to the appearance of white ~eaves, mutant plant growth, leaf color, chlorophyll content, and chloroplast ultrastructure appeared to be identical to those of the wild type. After the changeover to white leaf color, an examination of the mutated leaves revealed a decrease in total chlorophyll, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid content, a reduction in the number of chloroplast grana lamella and grana, and a gradual degradation of the thylakoid lamellas. At maturity, the mutant plant was etiolated and dwarfed compared with wild-type plants. Genetic analysis indicated that the leaf mutant character is controlled by a recessive nuclear gene. Genetic mapping of the mutant gene was performed using an F2 population derived from a Baihuaidao 7 ~ Jiangxi 1587 cross. The mutant gene was mapped to rice chromosome 11, positioned between InDel markers L59.2-7 and L64.8-11, which are separated by approximately 740.5 kb. The mutant gene is believed to be a new leaf-color mutant gene in rice, and is tentatively designated as gwgl.展开更多

It was found that neat PVDF forms large γform spherulites with extraordinarily weak birefringence at 170℃. Adding 30% PBS makes PVDF exhibit intrigued flower-like spherulitic morphology. The growth mechanism was explained by the decrease of the supercooling and the materials dissipation. Increasing the PBS content to 70% favors the formation of ring banded spherulites. Temperature dependent experiments verify the α→γ phase transition occurs from the junction sites of the ot and y crystals, while starts from the centers of α spherulites in the blends. Ring banded structures could be observed in neat PVDF, 70/30 blend and 30/70 blend when crystallized at 155℃, without γ crystals. The band period of PVDF α spherulites increases with crystallization temperature as well as the amount of PBS content. At 140℃, spherulites in neat PVDF lose their ring banded feature, while coarse spherulites consisting of evident lamellar bundles could be found in 30/70 blend.展开更多

The crystallite size （La） of carbon fibers would be interrupted due to excessive electrochemical etching, while the crystallite spacing （d（002）） increased as increasing current density. The disordered structures on the surface of carbon fiber with rough surface increased at the initial oxidation stage and then removed by further electrochemical etching, which resulting in continuous increase of the extent of graphitization on the fiber surface. However, the electrochemical etching was beneficial to getting ordered morphology on the surface for carbon fiber with smooth surface, especially when the current density was lower than 1.77 A/m 2 . The tensile strength and tensile modulus could be improved by 17.27% and 5.75%, respectively, and was dependent of surface morphology. The decreasing density of carbon fibers probably resulted from the volume expansion of carbon fibers caused by the abundant oxygen functional groups intercalated between the adjacent graphite layers.展开更多

文摘Renewable energy-driven water electrolysis is considered as an environmentally friendly hydrogen(H2)production technology.Replacing the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)with the urea oxidation reaction(UOR)is a more effective way to improve the energy efficiency of H2 generation.Herein,a highly effi-cient 2D NiFeMo-based UOR catalyst and 1D NiFeMo-based HER catalyst are prepared by adjusting the concentration of MoO_(4)^(-).The MoO_(4)^(-)can serve as the key regulator to adjust the balance between the electrolytic dissociation(α)of the reactants and the supersaturation(S)to modulate the morphological and electronic structure.The prepared 2D NiFeMo nanosheet UOR catalyst and 1D NiFeMo nanorod HER catalyst can achieve a current density of 100 mA cm^(−2)at a potential of 1.36 and 0.062 V,respectively.In a HER/UOR system,a cell voltage of 1.58 V is needed to achieve a current density of 100 mA cm^(−2).The HER/UOR system operated stably for over 60 h with 3 times the direct water electrolysis current den-sity.Moreover,the in situ Raman characterization coupled with XPS analysis clarifies that the addition of high-valence Mo can lower the transition energy barrier between the low and high oxidation state of Ni,which in turn lowers the overpotential of UOR.This work provides a novel strategy for synthesizing morphology-dependent electrocatalysts for different catalytic systems.

文摘An immature pinecone shaped hierarchically structured zirconia （ZrO2-ipch） and a cobblestone-like zirconia nanoparticulate （ZrO2-cs）, both with the monoclinic phase （m-phase）, were synthesized by the facile hydrothermal method and used as the support for a Ni catalyst for the dry reforming of methane （DRM） with CO2. ZrO2-ipch is a much better support than ZrO2-cs and the traditional ZrO2 irregular particles made by a simple precipitation method （ZrO2-ip）. The supported Ni catalyst on ZrO2-ipch （Ni/ZrO2-ipch） exhibited outstanding catalytic activity and coke-resistant stability compared to the ones on ZrO2-cs （Ni/ZrO2-cs） and ZrO2-ip （Ni/ZrO2-ip）. Ni/ZrO2-ip exhibited the worst catalytic performance. The origin of the significantly enhanced catalytic performance was revealed by characterization including XRD, N2 adsorption measurement （BET）, TEM, H2-TPR, CO chemisorption, CO2-TPD, XPS and TGA. The superior catalytic activity of Ni/ZrO2-ipch to Ni/ZrO2-cs or Ni/ZrO2-ip was ascribed to a higher Ni dispersion, increased reducibility, enhanced oxygen mo- bility, and more basic sites with a higher strength, which were due to the unique hierarchically structural morphology of the ZrO2-ipch support. Ni/ZrO2-ipch exhibited better stability for the DRM reaction than Ni/ZrO2-ip, which was ascribed to its higher resistance to Ni sintering due to a strengthened metal-support interaction and the confinement effect of the mesopores and coke deposition resistance. The higher coking resistance of Ni/ZrO2-ipch for the DRM reaction in comparison with Ni/ZrOz-ip orignated from the coke-removalabitity of the higher amount of lattice oxygen and more basic sites, confirmed by XPS and CO2-TPD analysis, and the stabilized Ni on the Ni/ZrO2-ipch catalyst by the confinement effect of the mesopores of the hierarchical ZrO2-ipch sup- port. The superior catalytic performance and coking resistance of the Ni/ZrO2-ipch catalyst makes it a promising candidate for synthesis gas production from the DRM reaction.

文摘Phosphate-mineralization microbe was chosen to study the influences of bacterial mixture,filtrate,bacteria solution,bacterial body and bacterial secretion on barium hydrogen phosphate crystal formation.The chemical compositions and structures of samples were characterized with scanning electron microscopy（SEM）,transmission electron microscopy（TEM）,and X-ray diffraction techniques（XRD）,revealing that the crystal morphology of barium hydrogen phosphate was dumbbell-shaped pattern,nanoparticles via aggregate clusters,irregular sphere with different sizes.The results indicated that bacterial body and bacterial secretion could induce the formation of irregular quadrilateral and spheres,respectively.But the effect of bacterial secretion was stronger than that of bacterial body when induced barium hydrogen phosphate crystal in bacteria solution.However,the crystals form could be affected only in bacterial mixture,but filtrate could induce the formation of nanoparticles.As a result,the bacteria and metabolites play an important role in the process of crystal nucleation,growth,and accumulation of barium hydrogen phosphate.
文摘A morphologically structured model is proposed to describe the batch fermentation of lovastatin according to the growth kinetics of filamentous microorganisms. Three kinds of hyphae are considered in the model: actively growing hyphae, non-growing hyphae and deactivated hyphae. Furthermore, actively growing hyphae consist of three morphological compartments: apical compartment which gives rise to hyphal tip extension; subapical compartment which is related to hyphal branching; and hyphal compartment which is only responsible for secondary metabolite formation. The kinetics of mycelial growth mechanism is summarized and applied in modeling lovastatin fermentation. A Michaelis-Menten kinetic model with substrate inhibition is proposed for product formation. As expected, the model simulations fit well with experimental data obtained either from a laboratory scale 10L fer-menter or from a pilot-plant scale fermenter.

文摘Leaf-color mutations are a widely-observed class of mutations, playing an important role in the study of chlorophyll biosynthesis and plant chloroplast structure, function, genetics and development. A naturally-occurring leaf-color rice mutant, Baihuaidao 7, was analyzed. Mutant plants typically exhibited a green-white-green leaf-color progression, but this phenotype was only expressed in the presence of a stress signal induced by mechanical scarification such as transplantation. Prior to the appearance of white ~eaves, mutant plant growth, leaf color, chlorophyll content, and chloroplast ultrastructure appeared to be identical to those of the wild type. After the changeover to white leaf color, an examination of the mutated leaves revealed a decrease in total chlorophyll, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid content, a reduction in the number of chloroplast grana lamella and grana, and a gradual degradation of the thylakoid lamellas. At maturity, the mutant plant was etiolated and dwarfed compared with wild-type plants. Genetic analysis indicated that the leaf mutant character is controlled by a recessive nuclear gene. Genetic mapping of the mutant gene was performed using an F2 population derived from a Baihuaidao 7 ~ Jiangxi 1587 cross. The mutant gene was mapped to rice chromosome 11, positioned between InDel markers L59.2-7 and L64.8-11, which are separated by approximately 740.5 kb. The mutant gene is believed to be a new leaf-color mutant gene in rice, and is tentatively designated as gwgl.

文摘The effect of PBS on the morphological features of PVDF has been investigated by optical and atomic force microscopies under various conditions. It was found that neat PVDF forms large γform spherulites with extraordinarily weak birefringence at 170℃. Adding 30% PBS makes PVDF exhibit intrigued flower-like spherulitic morphology. The growth mechanism was explained by the decrease of the supercooling and the materials dissipation. Increasing the PBS content to 70% favors the formation of ring banded spherulites. Temperature dependent experiments verify the α→γ phase transition occurs from the junction sites of the ot and y crystals, while starts from the centers of α spherulites in the blends. Ring banded structures could be observed in neat PVDF, 70/30 blend and 30/70 blend when crystallized at 155℃, without γ crystals. The band period of PVDF α spherulites increases with crystallization temperature as well as the amount of PBS content. At 140℃, spherulites in neat PVDF lose their ring banded feature, while coarse spherulites consisting of evident lamellar bundles could be found in 30/70 blend.

文摘Polyacrylonitrile （PAN） based carbon fibers with different surface morphology were electrochemically treated in 3 wt% NH4HCO3 aqueous solution with current density up to 3.47 A/m 2 at room temperature, and surface structures, surface morphology and residual mechanical properties were characterized. The crystallite size （La） of carbon fibers would be interrupted due to excessive electrochemical etching, while the crystallite spacing （d（002）） increased as increasing current density. The disordered structures on the surface of carbon fiber with rough surface increased at the initial oxidation stage and then removed by further electrochemical etching, which resulting in continuous increase of the extent of graphitization on the fiber surface. However, the electrochemical etching was beneficial to getting ordered morphology on the surface for carbon fiber with smooth surface, especially when the current density was lower than 1.77 A/m 2 . The tensile strength and tensile modulus could be improved by 17.27% and 5.75%, respectively, and was dependent of surface morphology. The decreasing density of carbon fibers probably resulted from the volume expansion of carbon fibers caused by the abundant oxygen functional groups intercalated between the adjacent graphite layers.

文摘Fascinating with high specific capacity and moderate lithiation potential,SnO_(x)-based materials have been intensively investigated as one of the most promising anodes for lithium-ion batteries.However,due to poor cycling stability,sluggish reaction kinetics,and limited electrochemical reaction reversibility,the development of SnO_(x)-based anodes has been hindered.And the current preparation and modification routes for SnO_(x)-based anodes lack direct and specific illustration.Herein,modification routes for SnO_(x)-based anodes have been emphasized.Firstly,to provide more direct instructions,the tuning routes of morphological structure for SnO_(x)-based electrodes(including slurry-based and self-supported)have been thoroughly discussed from the preparation perspective.Secondly,according to the properties of SnO_(x)-based anodes,the phase structure design ideas have also been properly classified and organized for addressing chemical reaction kinetics or thermodynamic issues.Finally,for future-oriented studies,new insights into the development and commercialization prospects of SnO_(x)-based anodes are also provided.This review,with comprehensive information on SnO_(x)-based anodes,aims to bring more specific guidance and valuable inspiration for peer researchers who are promoting the application of SnO_(x)-based materials for energy conversion and storage devices.
文摘Nonwovens are fiber materials which are based on nonwoven technologies. For the complexity and randomness of nonwovens morphologic structures, it is difficult to express them effectively using classical method. Fractal geometry gives us a new idea and a powerful tool to study on irregularity of geometric objects. Therefore, we studied on the pore size, pore shape, pore size distribution and fiber orientation distribution of real nonwovens using fractal geometry combined with computer image analysis to evaluate nonwovens’ morphologic structures.
