Enhancing selectivity and reducing cost for dehydrogenation of dodecahydro-N-ethylcarbazole by supporting platinum on titanium dioxide

N-ethylcarbazole/dodecahydro-N-ethylcarbazole (NECZ/12H-NECZ) was a promising system for hydrogen storage applications. 1.0 wt% Pt/TiO₂ was regarded as the optimal loading in Pt/TiO₂ catalyst applied in the 12H-NECZ dehydrogenation reaction. The hydrogen release amount, selectivity to NECZ and TOF of 12H-NECZ dehydrogenation are 5.75 wt %, 98% and 229.73 min⁻¹ at 453 K. Compared with the commercial 5.0 wt% Pd and Pt-based catalysts, it exhibited very high activity, selectivity and stability for 12H-NECZ dehydrogenation with low Pt loading. Combined with the XRD, XPS, HRTEM, TPR analysis, it was indicated that the enhanced catalytic performance was due to the SMSI (strong metal-supporting interaction) between Pt and TiO₂ support, which accelerated the rate-limiting step and enhanced the whole dehydrogenation reaction. This work may be beneficial for the commercial application of Pt/TiO₂ catalysts in the Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) system.     

Effects of nanotube size and roof-layer coating on viscoelastic properties of hybrid diamond-like carbon and carbon nanotube composites

Hybrid carbon nanobuffers are developed by exploiting the ultra-hardness and wear-resistant properties of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings and the inherent viscoelasticity properties of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs). The viscoelastic properties of carbon nanobuffers incorporating thin-walled and thick-walled CNTs, respectively, are characterized by means of nanoindentation dynamic mechanical analysis tests. It is shown that the thin-walled nanobuffer has a better damping performance than the thick-walled nanobuffer due to its buckling-driven friction and post-buckling behaviors; particularly under large displacements. In addition, it is shown that under large indenter displacements, the VACNT arrays with DLC coatings display the improved stress distributions and enhanced strain energy dissipation performances due to the load transfer on the top of VACNTs. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to investigate the roof-layer effect on damping behavior and structural deformation of the coated and uncoated VACNTs under nanoindentation. The results confirm that the VACNT with a DLC coating exhibits the significantly damping characterizations than the non-coated VACNT. Overall, the results presented in this study reveal the potential for tuning the damping performance of CNT-based nanobuffers through a careful control of the CNT size.

用闭合场非平衡磁控溅射技术制备了高硬度含Cr碳膜。分别用压入法和划痕法测定了薄膜的结合强度。薄膜厚度用球坑法表征。用显微硬度计测定了薄膜的努氏硬度。在不同载荷条件下,用Ball-on-disc球盘磨损试验机研究了薄膜的摩擦系数、比磨损率的变化规律。分析讨论了载荷对含Cr碳膜摩擦磨损性能的影响。结果发现：随着载荷的提高,对磨钢球时薄膜的摩擦系数呈下降趋势．对磨损轨迹和对磨球磨损表面的扫描电镜（SEM）观察发现存在转移膜现象。对磨球磨损表面的EDX分析结果进一步证明了转移膜的存在。文中还对含Cr碳膜磨损机理进行了分析和讨论。用闭合场非平衡磁控溅射技术制备了高硬度含Cr碳膜。分别用压入法和划痕法测定了薄膜的结合强度。薄膜厚度用球坑法表征。用显微硬度计测定了薄膜的努氏硬度。在不同载荷条件下,用Ball-on-disc球盘磨损试验机研究了薄膜的摩擦系数、比磨损率的变化规律。分析讨论了载荷对含Cr碳膜摩擦磨损性能的影响。结果发现：随着载荷的提高,对磨钢球时薄膜的摩擦系数呈下降趋势．对磨损轨迹和对磨球磨损表面的扫描电镜（SEM）观察发现存在转移膜现象。对磨球磨损表面的EDX分析结果进一步证明了转移膜的存在。文中还对含Cr碳膜磨损机理进行了分析和讨论。

往复加载下预制承台-桩连接构造受力性能

在交通不便、土地资源稀缺及环保要求高的山区公路高架桥梁建设中,为充分利用一体化架桥设备桥面输送预制构件的优势、最大限度地实现全预制桥梁的建造需求,提出一种将现浇承台改为预制承台的方案。针对预制承台与桩连接构造受力安全可靠性问题,按照1/3的缩尺比设计制作两个预制承台-桩连接构造试件和一个现浇承台-桩连接构造试件,进行往复加载试验与非线性数值分析。试验结果表明：与现浇承台试件相比,预制承台试件的屈服点、极限承载力基本相同,桩的抗裂性能、裂缝分布也基本一致;现浇承台更易开裂,但预制承台裂缝数量更多、最大裂缝宽度更大;桩-预制承台连接试件的初始刚度略小,但开裂后的刚度与现浇承台试件相同;两种承台均能与桩共同受力,整体性能够得到保证。数值模拟与试验的倾角-位移曲线和滞回曲线较好吻合,表明数值模型可反映试件的变形情况、承载力与捏缩特性。试验和数值分析均验证了预制承台-桩连接构造受力性能的可靠性。     

Reinforcing Paper Strength by Dual Treatment of a Cationic Water-soluble Polymer and Cellulose Nanofibril

Cellulose nanofibril (CNF) was used as the anionic component of two dual strengthening systems wherein polyamidopolyamine epichlorohydrin resin (PAE) or cationic starch (CS) was used as the cationic component. Their strengthening effects were investigated for low-basis-weight (30 g/m²) paper composed of a mixture of fully bleached softwood and hardwood pulp in a 4:1 mass ratio. Using the PAE/CNF or CS/CNF dual system, it was generally easier to achieve higher wet and dry tensile strengths of paper compared to the paper using the single PAE or CS system. For example, the paper using the PAE (0.4%)/CNF (0.3%) dual system exhibited 89% higher wet tensile strength than the paper using the single PAE (0.4%) system, and the paper using CS (1.3%)/CNF (0.3%) dual treatment showed 21% higher dry strength than that using the single CS (1.3%) system. However, the PAE/CNF system only showed small improvement in the dry strength of paper (11% higher than that of paper using the single PAE system), so did the CS/NFC system on wet strength improvement (only 17% higher than that of paper using the single CS system).     

Improvement of corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity of 304 stainless steel using close field unbalanced magnetron sputtered carbon film

Carbon film has been deposited on 304 stainless steel (SS304) using close field unbalanced magnetron sputter ion plating (CFUBMSIP) to improve the corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity of SS304 acting as bipolar plates for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The corrosion resistance, interfacial contact resistance (ICR), surface morphology and contact angle with water of the bare and carbon-coated SS304 are investigated. The carbon-coated SS304 shows good corrosion resistance in the simulated cathode and anode PEMFC environment. The ICR between the carbon-coated SS304 and the carbon paper is 8.28-2.59 mΩ cm² under compaction forces between 75 and 360 N cm⁻². The contact angle of the carbon-coated SS304 with water is 88.6°, which is beneficial to water management in the fuel cell stack. These results indicate that the carbon-coated SS304 exhibits high corrosion resistance, low ICR and hydrophobicity and is a promising candidate for bipolar plates.

Conductive amorphous carbon-coated 316L stainless steel as bipolar plates in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells

Amorphous carbon (a-C) film about 3 μm in thickness is coated on 316L stainless steel by close field unbalanced magnetron sputter ion plating (CFUBMSIP). The AFM and Raman results reveal that the a-C coating is dense and compact with a small size of graphitic crystallite and large number of disordered band. Interfacial contact resistance (ICR) results show that the surface conductivity of the bare SS316L is significantly increased by the a-C coating, with values of 8.3–5.2 mΩ cm² under 120–210 N/cm². The corrosion potential (E_corr) shifts from about −0.3 V vs SCE to about 0.2 V vs SCE in both the simulated anode and cathode environments. The passivation current density is reduced from 11.26 to 3.56 μA/cm² with the aid of the a-C coating in the simulated cathode environment. The a-C coated SS316L is cathodically protected in the simulated anode environment thereby exhibiting a stable and lower current density compared to the uncoated one in the simulated anode environment as demonstrated by the potentiostatic results.
