Ni2V2O7 dandelion microsphere for a high-performance electrocatalyst in water splitting

Water splitting is an effective way to produce hydrogen to solve the energy crisis problem, and inorganic metal compounds are widely used in electrocatalysis field due to efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we synthesize Ni₂V₂O₇ dandelion microsphere from nickel nitrate and vanadium pentoxide by “one-step hydrothermal” way, which exhibits large specific surface area of 102.74 m² g⁻¹. The as-prepared Ni₂V₂O₇ microsphere shows good electrocatalysis performances including OER overpotential of 358 mV and good stability, as well as HER overpotential of 195 mV. Furthermore, the Ni₂V₂O₇ microsphere electrode is assembled to Ni₂V₂O₇ microsphere//Ni₂V₂O₇ microsphere system, showing the water splitting voltage of 1.50 V at 10 mA cm⁻² by two-electrode method, which is much lower than those of commercial RuO₂//Pt/C system and most of spinel oxides electrocatalysts. Our work opens up a new and facile avenue for fabricating inorganic microsphere electrocatalyst in hydrogen production field.     

有机激发三重态参与的光化学反应研究进展

光化学反应包括直接光解和间接氧化反应，其中间接氧化反应主要通过活性氧化性物种（reactive oxygen species, ROS）包括单线态氧（¹O₂）、过氧自由基（{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}^{-}）和羟基自由基（·OH）等进行。近年来，有机激发三重态（³C^*）作为一种特殊的氧化剂参与光化学反应引起了广泛关注。本文主要综述了有机三重态光敏剂的形成和光化学反应机制、³C^*参与的环境光化学反应、³C^*自由基寿命、反应速率及稳态浓度测定和激发三重态的应用5个方面，并对未来有机分子激发三重态的研究方向进行了展望，指出³C^*是很多挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）或半/中等挥发性有机化合物（S/IVOCs）在大气中重要的汇，自然水体中溶解性有机质（dissolved organic matter，DOM）的激发三重态（³DOM^*）是污染物降解的主要氧化剂。今后应扩大³C^*与有机物反应的研究范畴，测定不同体系中³C^*的稳态浓度、产生速率（量子产率）等，为污染物治理提供理论依据。     

低碳钢电弧熔覆增材层摩擦磨损及抗腐蚀性能

目的 针对低碳钢零件的破损失效采用TIG焊电弧熔覆增材制造工艺，研究低碳钢电弧熔覆修复使其达到再制造零件性能要求的可行性，为实现TIG焊修复应用提供保证。方法 通过TIG焊熔覆在低碳钢坡口处，对熔覆接头的显微组织进行分析，并测试修复后的增材层表面硬度性能。使用Nanovea Tribometer摩擦磨损仪和NanoveaPS50表面轮廓仪，对基体和增材层进行摩擦性能测试，并表征摩擦磨损后的表面形貌，探究磨损机理。采用电化学工作站对基体和增材层的腐蚀性能进行分析。结果 修复后的增材层显微硬度（220.17HV）高于基体且其摩擦性能和腐蚀性能优于基体，随着磨损载荷的增加，增材层的摩擦系数逐渐降低，磨损机制主要为磨粒磨损和粘着磨损。增材层表面组织均匀细小，在NaCl溶液中点蚀坑小且分散，增材层的腐蚀电流密度（1.8349×10-6 A/cm2）小于基体的腐蚀电流密度（6.5251×10-5 A/cm2），增材层表面的抗腐蚀能力明显提高。结论 电弧熔覆低碳钢可满足低碳钢零部件现场电弧快速修复对再制造性能的要求，实现了低碳钢破损零部件的表面修复与强化。     

MFC-MEC耦合系统产电性能及处理含镉重金属废水的研究

以厌氧活性污泥为阳极菌种，乙酸钠为阳极底物，硫酸铜和重铬酸钾溶液为微生物燃料电池（MFC）阴极液，人工模拟含镉重金属废水为微生物电解池（MEC）阴极液，构建MFC-MEC耦合系统，利用MFC的产电驱动MEC运行，在不消耗外部能源的情况下，实现含镉重金属废水中Cd²⁺的去除。实验研究了MFC反应器容积、MFC堆栈、MEC电极材料、MEC阴极液pH对MFC-MEC耦合系统电性能及含镉重金属废水处理效果的影响。结果表明：MFC反应容积的扩大可以提高其产电性能，但与此同时会造成MFC的内阻升高，随着MFC容积的增加，MEC中Cd²⁺去除率逐渐增加，但同时MFC阴极Cr⁶⁺去除率逐渐下降；MFC堆栈可以提高工作组两端电压，串联时最大输出电压为1509 mV，Cd²⁺去除率为69.3%；以钛板作为MEC电极时，微生物能有效附着在阳极表面，MFC阳极COD去除率为85%，MEC中Cd²⁺去除率为51.5%；MEC阴极液pH在3~5时，有利于含镉重金属废水的处理，Cd²⁺去除率80%以上。经XRD分析，MEC阴极还原产物为CdCO₃。     

Sol-gel synthesis,structural, morphological and magnetic properties of BaTiO3–BiMnO3 solid solutions

In this study, solid solutions of (1-x)BaTiO₃-xBiMnO₃ have been synthesized by an aqueous sol-gel method. It was determined that single-phase compounds can be obtained up to x = 0.6 and with further increase in percentage of BiMnO₃ component additional crystal phases were detected. Perovskite crystal structure was determined for all synthesized compounds regardless of chemical composition. Raman spectra of synthesized solid solutions showed gradual change of the shape with an increase of BiMnO₃ fraction. It was demonstrated that partial substitution of BaTiO₃ by BiMnO₃ led to the drastic growth of grains of the end products. Magnetization measurements showed that all BiMnO₃-containing samples are characterized by paramagnetic behavior. Clear correlation between magnetization values and composition of the materials was observed, magnetization values increased with increasing of BiMnO₃ content in solid solutions.

Interface-layer-assisted reliable ferroelectricity in BiFeO3 thin films by chemical solution deposition

BiFeO₃ thin films, specifically those fabricated by chemical solution deposition, suffer from severe leakage that hinder the acquirements of their intrinsic high polarizations and are thus normally not considered for use in practical electronics. The controlled fabrication of thin films with reduced leakage is of vital importance. In the present work, BiFeO₃ films (with thicknesses below ~300 nm), assisted by an interfacial amorphous layer, were fabricated by chemical solution deposition on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrates. This facile method facilitates the growth of the mentioned amorphous layer, and the ferroelectric properties of the obtained films were greatly enhanced. The conducting mechanisms of both types of thin films were systematically investigated to understand the impact of the designed interface. The results not only advance the potential use of BiFeO₃ thin films in electromechanical devices but also promote chemical solution deposition as a promising methodology for the fabrication of high-quality ferroelectric films with compressed leakage.
