Designing a semiconductor-based heterostructure photocatalyst for achieving the efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs is highly important for enhancing H2 releasing photocatalysis. Here, a new class of Ni1−xCoxSe2–C/ZnIn2S4 hierarchical nanocages with abundant and compact ZnIn2S4 nanosheets/Ni1−xCoxSe2 C nanosheets 2D/2D hetero–interfaces, is designed and synthesized. The constructed heterostructure photocatalyst exposes rich hetero-junctions, supplying the broad and short transfer paths for charge carriers. The close contacts of these two kinds of nanosheets induce a strong interaction between ZnIn2S4 and Ni1−xCoxSe2 C, improving the separation and transfer of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. As a consequence, the distinctive Ni1−xCoxSe2 C/ZnIn2S4 hierarchical nanocages without using additional noble-metal cocatalysts, display remarkable H2-relaesing photocatalytic activity with a rate of 5.10 mmol g−1 h−1 under visible light irradiation, which is 6.2 and 30 times higher than those of fresh ZnIn2S4 nanosheets and bare Ni1−xCoxSe2 C nanocages, respectively. Spectroscopic characterizations and theory calculations reveal that the strong interaction between ZnIn2S4 and Ni1−xCoxSe2 C 2D/2D hetero-interfaces can powerfully promote the separation of photo-generated charge carriers and the electrons transfer from ZnIn2S4 to Ni1−xCoxSe2 C. 相似文献
Gecko-inspired microfibrillar adhesives have achieved great progress in microstructure design and adhesion improvement over the past two decades. Space applications nowadays show great interest in this material for the characteristics of reversible adhesion and universal van der Waals interactions. However, the impact of harsh environment of space on the performance of microfibrillar adhesives, especially the extreme low temperature, is rarely addressed. Herein, microfibrillar adhesives fabricated by phenyl containing polydimethylsiloxane (p-PDMS) elastomers with superior low-temperature reversible adhesion is proposed. p-PDMS elastomers are synthesized through one-pot anionic ring-opening copolymerization, and the resulting elastomers become non-crystallizable with excellent low-temperature elasticity. Low-temperature adhesion tests demonstrate that the adhesion strength of microfibrillar adhesives fabricated by p-PDMS elastomers can be well maintained to as low as −120 °C. In contrast, the adhesion strength of pure PDMS microfibrillar adhesive reduces more than 50% below its crystallization temperature. The low-temperature cyclic adhesion tests further demonstrate that p-PDMS microfibrillar adhesives exhibit superior reversible adhesion compared to that of PDMS microfibrillar adhesives, owing to the sustainable conformal contact and even distribution of loads over repeated cycles. This study provides a new fabrication strategy for microfibrillar adhesives, and is beneficial for the practical application of microfibrillar adhesives. 相似文献

The development of cost-effective bifunctional catalysts with excellent performance and good stability is of great significance for overall water splitting. In this work, NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDHs) nanosheets are prepared on nickel foam by hydrothermal method, and then Ni2P(O)–Fe2P(O)/CeOx nanosheets are in situ synthesized by electrodeposition and phosphating on NiFe LDHs. The obtained self-supporting Ni2P(O)–Fe2P(O)/CeOx exhibit excellent catalytic performances in alkaline solution due to more active sites and fast electron transport. When the current density is 10 mA cm?2, the overpotential of hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction are 75 mV and 268 mV, respectively. In addition, driven by two Ni2P(O)–Fe2P(O)/CeOx electrodes, the alkaline battery can reach 1.45 V at 10 mA cm?2. 相似文献
This work demonstrates a facile Nb2O5-decorated electrocatalyst to prepare cost-effective Ni–Fe–P–Nb2O5/NF and compared HER & OER performance in alkaline media. The prepared electrocatalyst presented an outstanding electrocatalytic performance towards hydrogen evolution reaction, which required a quite low overpotential of 39.05 mV at the current density of ?10 mA cm?2 in 1 M KOH electrolyte. Moreover, the Ni–Fe–P–Nb2O5/NF catalyst also has excellent oxygen evolution efficiency, which needs only 322 mV to reach the current density of 50 mA cm?2. Furthermore, its electrocatalytic performance towards overall water splitting worked as both cathode and anode achieved a quite low potential of 1.56 V (10 mA cm?2). 相似文献
This work proposed a new path to synthesize Ni-phyllosilicate through the reaction of nickel hydroxide and silica sol on the surface of Ni-foam to form the monolithic Ni-phyllosilicate/Ni-foam catalyst. Ni-phyllosilicate could reprint the morphology of nickel hydroxid and firmly anchor on the framework of Ni-foam, which obtained fine Ni particles of 2.8 nm after reduction in H2 at 650 °C, resulting in high catalytic activity for CO2 methanation. In addition, the Ni-phyllosilicate/Ni-foam catalyst showed high long-term stability in a 100 h-lifetime test owing to the combined effects of surface confinement of Ni-phyllosilicate, firm anchoring between Ni-phyllosilicate and Ni-foam, as well as the high heat transfer property of Ni-foam.
The traditional approach to solvent selection in the extractive distillation process strictly focuses on the change in the relative volatility of light-heavy components induced by the solvent. However, the total annual cost of the process may not be minimal when the solvent induces the largest change in relative volatility. This work presents a heuristic method for selecting the optimal solvent to minimize the total annual cost. The functional relationship between the relative volatility and the total annual cost is established, where the main factors, such as the relative volatility of the light-heavy components and the relative volatility of the heavy-component solvent, are taken into account. Binary azeotropic mixtures of methanol-toluene and methanol-acetone are separated to verify the feasibility of the model. The results show that using the solvent with the minimal two-column extractive distillation index, the process achieves a minimal total annual cost. The method is conducive for sustainable advancements in chemistry and engineering because a suitable solvent can be selected without simulation verification. 相似文献
In this study, a series of phosphatized pseudo-core-shell Ni@Pt/C electrocatalysts has been obtained for efficient hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR). These (Ni@Pt–P/C) electrocatalysts were prepared by a primary replacement method followed by subsequent phosphating process. Among all Ni@Pt–P/C electrocatalysts, as-prepared Ni@Pt–P/C-400 electrocatalyst shows the highest HzOR performance (515 mA mg−1Pt), best stability, durability and lowest activation energy (12.60 kJ mol−1). The satisfactory HzOR performance is mainly resulted from the unique design of phosphating effect on core-shell structure which producing good synergistic effect between Ni, P and Pt. This work would pave a way for developing other low-Pt catalysts in the future. 相似文献
