Carbon-carbon (C-C) coupling reactions represent one of the most powerful tools for the synthesis of complex natural products, bioactive molecules developed as drugs and agrochemicals. In this work, a multifunctional nanoreactor for C-C coupling reaction was successfully fabricated via encapsulating the core-shell Cu@Ni nanocubes into ZIF-8 (Cu@Ni@ZIF-8). In this nanoreactor, Ni shell of the core-shell Cu@Ni nanocubes was the catalytical active center, and Cu core was in situ heating source for the catalyst by absorbing the visible light. Moreover, benefiting from the plasmonic resonance effect between Cu@Ni nanocubes encapsulated in ZIF-8, the absorption range of nanoreactor was widened and the utilization rate of visible light was enhanced. Most importantly, the microporous structure of ZIF-8 provided shape-selective of reactant. This composite was used for the highly shape-selective and stable photocatalysed C-C coupling reaction of boric acid under visible light irradiation. After five cycles, the nanoreactor still remained high catalytical activity. This Cu@Ni@ZIF-8 nanoreactor opens a way for photocatalytic C-C coupling reactions with shape-selectivity.
A novel multi-electrode system is proposed for electrolytic and biological water treatments. The multi-electrode system is comprised of multiple working electrodes and their counter electrode, where electric current or potential applied to each electrode is controlled independently. Experimental result for different electrolyte solutions showed that electric charge in the system was efficiently carried by dissociative electrolytes such as carbonate ions. This transfer mechanism is regarded as being effective both in keeping pH level around neutrality and in passing certain amounts of electric current especially in dilute solutions such as groundwater and surface water. A long-term (over 500 days) experiment also showed the enhanced and stable denitrification performance of biofilm-electrode reactor (BER) equipped with the multi-electrode system, comparing to former BERs. This superior performance was thought to be attributable to large effective surface area of electrode, the charge transfer mechanism by dissociative electrolyte, and the formation of highly reducing (or oxidizing) zones. From these results, we conclude that the multi-electrode system is useful for electrolytic and biological treatments of groundwater and surface water. 相似文献
Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry is applied to differentiate and determine the labile and strongly bound forms of Zn, Cd, Pb and Cu in lake water without preconcentration of the sample. The sensitivities as established for an oxidation peak current of 0·020 μA are: 0·2 ppb for Zn. 0·4 ppb Cd. 0·7 ppb Pb and 0·5 ppb for Cu. For the analysis of a lake water containing 5·0–24·5 ppb of the four metals, the relative S.D. ranged from 1·6 to 10 per cent. Interferences of cations and anions and the choice of a buffer system have been discussed. The method has been applied to study a number of small lakes in the Sudbury area. Ontario. 相似文献
The filling of a membrane tube with self-weight by a fluid is studied theoretically for the first time. The fundamental problem depends on two non-dimensional parameters, and which represent the importance of internal pressure and membrane self-weight respectively. The nonlinear equations are solved by an efficient numerical integration method. It is found that membrane self-weight has considerable effect on the tube geometry and the tension of the membrane at low filling pressures. 相似文献
