Synthesis of 3,13-diglycidyloxypropyloctaphenyl double-decker polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and the thermal reaction properties with thermosetting phenol-formaldehyde resin

3,13-Diglycidyloxypropyloctaphenyl double-decker silsesquioxane (EP-DDSQ) was synthesized by process of alkaline hydrolysis condensation of phenyltrimethoxysilane and corner capping reaction of methyldichlorosilane, followed by hydrosilylation with allyl glycidyl ether, and the resultant structure was confirmed by fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), respectively. The thermosetting phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin was then modified by EP-DDSQ, and the reactivity of PF resin with EP-DDSQ and thermal pyrolysis of modified cured resin were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The surface morphologies of modified resins at high temperature were characterized with field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and chemical structure of modified resins was analyzed through X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). The results showed that the appropriate addition of EP-DDSQ did not affect the curing temperature of the PF resin itself, but could improve the heat resistance of the system. When the amount of EP-DDSQ added was 10%, the initial degradation temperature of PF resin was increased by 49.31°C, and when the amount of EP-DDSQ added was 16%, the char yield of which was reached up to 61.39%, compared with that of pure PF resin (TGA_1,000°C of 57.62%) at Ar atmosphere. More importantly, the modified resin formed a regular and dense layer of SiC and SiO_x ceramic on the surface after ablation in the muffle furnace at 800°C air atmosphere, which is very important for ablative resistant materials.     

Regulating the Interfacial Electronic Coupling of Fe2N via Orbital Steering for Hydrogen Evolution Catalysis

The capability of manipulating the interfacial electronic coupling is the key to achieving on-demand functionalities of catalysts. Herein, it is demonstrated that the electronic coupling of Fe₂N can be effectively regulated for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysis by vacancy-mediated orbital steering. Ex situ refined structural analysis reveals that the electronic and coordination states of Fe₂N can be well manipulated by nitrogen vacancies, which impressively exhibit strong correlation with the catalytic activities. Theoretical studies further indicate that the nitrogen vacancy can uniquely steer the orbital orientation of the active sites to tailor the electronic coupling and thus benefit the surface adsorption capability. This work sheds light on the understanding of the catalytic mechanism in real systems and could contribute to revolutionizing the current catalyst design for HER and beyond.

Effect of titanium diboride on the homogeneity of boron carbide ceramic by flash spark plasma sintering

A novel method, namely flash spark plasma sintering (FSPS), combining flash sintering and electric field assisted sintering, was utilized to densify boron carbide/titanium diboride (B₄C/TiB₂) composites. Further, sintering homogeneity of the composites with different contents of TiB₂ was systematically investigated and theoretical model was built. Results indicated that addition of 50?wt% TiB2 led to the densification of B₄C/TiB₂ composite by up to 97.7% with regional range 1.9% at 1872?°C under pressure of 4?MPa in 60?s. The preferential pathway of TiB₂ network proves to disperse the central current and distribute thermal flow throughout the specimen possibly via tunneling, electronic field emission effect at first stage and lower-resistance composite pathway latter, contributing to the increased homogeneity.     

A star pattern recognition algorithm for cameras with large FOV

In most large field of view (FOV) observations, the distortion problem is inevitably and significantly more serious than in small FOV ones. In the circumstances, many traditional star identification approaches are not able to efficiently identify stars any more. In order to deal with this problem, we put forward a star identification method that is less sensitive to distortion. The method first processes stars in the central area of the image, using traditional identification logic, and then applies the region growing strategy to enlarge the identified regions iteratively until the entire image is covered. The performance of the new scheme is analysed in the presence of both simulated data and real data. The results show that the proposed algorithm has the advantage of speed, and the strategy of regional extension can efficiently identify stars in large FOV images compared with other existing algorithms.     

Densification and joining of a (HfTaZrNbTi)C high-entropy ceramic by hot pressing

A bulk (Hf_0.2Ta_0.2Zr_0.2Nb_0.2Ti_0.2)C high-entropy ceramic (HEC) with a high density was prepared by hot pressing (HP), and through a robust joining technique, large-sized piece was fabricated. A hot-pressed carbide HEC with a single-phase and homogeneous composition was obtained at the sintering temperatures from 1800 to 1950 °C for 30 min under a pressure of 30 MPa. The influence of sintering temperature on the mechanical properties of the HEC was investigated, and the flexural and compressive strengths were reported. Additionally, the feasibility of active brazing of this HEC was studied and solid joints with high shear strength were obtained by atomic diffusion and chemical reaction at the interface, providing a key approach to fabricate complex components of HECs.     

Zinc doped Fe2O3 for boosting Electrocatalytic Nitrogen Fixation to ammonia under mild conditions

Artificial nitrogen fixation is emerging as a promising approach for synthesis of ammonia at mild conditions. Inspired by biological nitrogen fixation based on bacteria containing iron, zinc doped Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles are proposed as an efficient and earth abundant electrocatalyst for converting N₂ to NH₃. In neutral media, it achieves a maximum Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 10.4% and a large NH₃ yield rate of 15.1 μg h^?1 mg^?1_cat. at ?0.5 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode. This catalyst also exhibits excellent selectivity and stability. Theoretical calculations suggest the reaction follows the associative enzymatic mechanism and it has a barrier of as low as 0.68 eV.
