Synthesis of bristlegrass-like Co-doped Ni2P composites on Ni foam for overall seawater splitting

Seawater is the most abundant resource on earth, so developing cost-effective, highly durable corrosion resistance and efficient electrocatalysts are crucial to enhance seawater splitting. Herein, we prepared 3D bristlegrass-like Co-doped Ni₂P (Co-Ni₂P) composites supported on Ni foam (NF) through a facile solvothermal method combined and a subsequent phosphatization treatment. Benefiting from the unique structure, Co-Ni₂P shows excellent electrocatalytic activity as an electrode material for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER, low overpotential of 116 mV at 50 mA cm^?2) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER, low overpotential of 266 mV at 50 mA cm^?2). Moreover, the as-prepared Co-Ni₂P composites exhibit excellent stability and corrosion resistance in an alkaline medium. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to evaluate the H1 adsorption of Co-Ni₂P, and the results proved the high catalytic activity for the HER. This study provides new materials with a unique morphology for overall water splitting.

Synthesis,characterization, and visible-light photocatalytic activity of transition metals doped ZTO nanoparticles

Transition metals doping has been proved to be a feasible way for tuning the physical properties on the surface and bulk of nanomaterials and also for the good performance in decontamination of emerging pollutants. In this context, doped samples of zinc tin oxide or zinc stannate nanoparticles (ZTO NPs) by several transition metals were synthesized in order to enhance the optical absorbance with the aims of reducing the band gap and therefore ameliorated their photocatalytic activity. They were characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence. The XRD patterns and the microscopic observations showed the formation of spherical nanoparticles with an average size of about 30 nm and highly pure ZTO phase with an inverse spinel structure. The Raman spectra were dominated by bands relatives to the F2g (2) and A1g symmetries modes of inverse spinel structure. The band gap Eg is estimated to be 3.75 eV for the undoped sample, and 3.67, 3.64, 3.78 and 3.21 eV, for 2% Fe, 2% Mg, 2% Gd, and 2% Mn doped ZTO samples, respectively.Furthermore, the undoped ZTO NPs have the intrinsic problem of recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. We have shown that the reduction of the band gap and oxygen vacancies resulting from the doping effect could be a useful tool for trapping and avoid the recombination of electrons coming from photosensitized rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. Owing to the structural advantages and low band gap, 2% Mn doped ZTO NPs, with the kinetic rate constants k of 0.024 min⁻¹, show enhanced performance for the elimination of RhB in aqueous solution compared to undoped and other doped ZTO NPs.

悬浮泥沙是评价II类水体水质的重要参数之一,近海岸水域悬浮泥沙对重金属、营养盐等具有一定的吸附作用,悬浮泥沙的分布特征在一定程度上反映着污染物的迁移和循环,因此研究悬浮泥沙对渤海湾建设和环境保护具有重要意义。为探究渤海湾水域悬浮泥沙浓度 和分布的变化特征,利用高分一号多光谱卫星影像,通过采用波段组合的方式对悬浮泥沙含量指数反演提取,反演得到2019年9个月的渤海湾悬浮泥沙指数,分析发现渤海湾悬浮泥沙含量在冬季受季风影响较高,春季和夏季的时候渤海湾高浓度悬浮泥沙向近岸收缩,秋季 悬浮泥沙分布格局有正在向冬季过渡的趋势,本文研究可为渤海湾的生态环境保护和工业开发提供重要的科学依据和参考价值。     

Title加TextRank抽取关键句的情感分类研究

考虑到不同句子对判断文档情感倾向的重要程度不同，因而区分文档的关键句和细节句将有助于提高情感分类的性能。同时，考虑到Title和上下文信息，提出了一种基于Title和加权TextRank抽取关键句的情感分析方法SKTT，实现了高效的情感分析。根据文档Title的情感权重计算Title贡献度，考虑到标点和语义规则对情感倾向的影响；根据加权TextRank算法思想，在文档正文中构建了一个情感句有向图来提取关键句；计算所有关键句的情感倾向进行情感分类。在4个领域上进行实验，实验结果表明，该SKTT方法性能明显优于Baseline，具有高效性。     

How hydrogen-storage material affects the decomposition of nitramine explosive: CPMD investigations of LAB-doped CL20

As the most popular high-energy explosives, 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazatetracyclo [5.5.0.0.0] dodecane (Simplified as HNIW or CL20) attracts many attentions for improving its detonation appearance in the application. Here we introduce hydrogen-storage compounds into explosives to estimate the possible improved detonation performances by Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) simulation, where we construct lithium amidoborane (LAB) doped CL20 as the initial structure. Almost all the interactions between hydrogen and CL20 appear exothermic properties, which indicate LAB increases the enthalpies of detonation. The results suggest explosive mixed with hydrogen-storage material is possibly a new field of energetic compound.     

A library of carbon-supported ultrasmall bimetallic nanoparticles

Small-sized bimetallic nanoparticles that possess numerous accessible metal sites and optimal geometric/electronic structures show great promise for advanced synergetic catalysis but remain synthetic challenge so far. Here, an universial synthetic method is developed for building a library of bimetallic nanoparticles on mesoporous sulfur-doped carbon supports, consisting of 24 combinations of 3 noble metals (that is, Pt, Rh, Ir) and 7 other metals, with average particle sizes ranging from 0.7 to 1.4 nm. The synthetic strategy is based on the strong metal-support interaction arising from the metal-sulfur bonding, which suppresses the metal aggregation during the H₂-reduction at 700 °C and ensure the formation of small-sized and alloyed bimetallic nanoparticles. The enhanced catalytic properties of the ultrasmall bimetallic nanoparticles are demonstrated in the dehydrogenation of propane at high temperature and oxidative dehydrogenations of N-heterocycles.
