PdCoNi nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosheets for room temperature dehydrogenation of formic acid

The development of cost-effective heterogeneous catalysts for the dehydrogenation of formic acid (FA) is the key challenge for the commercialization of FA as a hydrogen-storage medium. Herein, PdCoNi nanoparticles (NPs) with different element ratios supported on N-doped carbon nanosheets (N-CN) were designed, which exhibit excellent catalytic dehydrogenation performance for FA. Compared with PdCoNi NPs loaded on the carbon nanosheets (CN), the introduction of pyrrolic N to CN induces the formation of ultrafine, monodispersed and amorphous Pd_0.6Co_0.2Ni_0.2 NPs with a size of 1.60 nm, which significantly increases the number of active sites and the instant contact between FA and catalysts. The as-prepared Pd_0.6Co_0.2Ni_0.2/N-CN catalyst shows more than 99% conversion and 100% H₂ selectivity at room temperature, with a record-high initial turnover frequency (TOF_initial) of 1249.0 h⁻¹ among non-noble containing Pd-based catalysts, which demonstrates the high potential of Pd_0.6Co_0.2Ni_0.2/N-CN as a practical catalyst for the hydrogen generation from FA.

Influence of two-step ball-milling condition on electrical and mechanical properties of TiC-dispersion-strengthened Cu alloys

TiC-dispersion-strengthened Cu alloys were prepared by a two-step ball-milling (BM) process followed by sparks plasma sintering (SPS), heat treatment and hot rolling in sequence. The two-step BM process is composed of a pre-ball-milling (pre-BM) on both Ti and graphite powders as well as a subsequent homogenizing by BM together with Cu powder. Microstructure evolution analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of BM conditions on the electrical and mechanical properties of Cu-based alloys. The X-ray results revealed that titanium carbide (TiC) formed from Ti and C under high impact energy BM. Moreover, the formation of TiC during the SPS and heat treatment processes was found to more beneficial in enhancing the mechanical properties of alloy. The residual Ti in Cu matrix was found to be the predominant factor lowering the electrical conductivity of Cu–Ti–C alloys.     

Structure and properties of TiC/Ti coatings fabricated on NiTi by plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition

A titanium carbide (TiC) nanostructured coating and Ti intermediate layer are fabricated on NiTi by plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (PIII&D) to improve the surface properties. The chemical composition and structure are determined by X-ray diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Nano-indentation is used to evaluate the mechanical properties of the thin film and the biological characteristics are assessed by electrochemical measurement and soaking tests in simulated body fluids. Based on the potentiodynamic polarization and Ni release data after the polarization test, the Ti/TiC nanostructure coating has better corrosion resistance compared to the NiTi substrate and there is significantly less Ni ion release from the NiTi substrate into the simulated body fluids than the uncoated NiTi alloy.     

Mobility and distribution of eight fungicides in surface,skin and pulp in grapes. An application to pyraclostrobin and boscalid

The study discusses the mobility and distribution of vinclozolin, dichlofluanid, penconazol, captan, quinoxyfen, fluquinconazol, boscalid and pyraclostrobin residues in surface, skin and pulp in red grapes. A lab test was carried out by immersing grapes in solutions with different concentrations of fungicides and for different periods of time; followed by a determination of the fungicide residues by GC-ECD with an additional confirmation by GC-MS. The distribution between surface, skin and pulp of the grapes was also determined. The percentage sorption ranged from 6.4 to 116%. Results showed that sorption values depended on the time that grapes had been in contact with the fungicide solutions, but not on the initial concentration of solutions. Residues were mainly found in skin, with percentages ranging from 53.0 to 88.4% of total residues. In pulp, these values ranged from 9.6 to 41.7%. Pyraclostrobin showed higher penetration than the other compounds.A field test using three new commercial formulations containing pyraclostrobin, boscalid and a mixture of both, was carried out by applying these formulations to a vineyard. When fungicides were applied individually the ratios of the skin/pulp residues were similar to those obtained in lab; whereas when a mixture of both pesticides was sprayed results showed a lower penetration of the fungicides in the grape pulp.
