Facile construction of composition-tuned ruthenium-nickel nanoparticles on g-C3N4 for enhanced hydrolysis of ammonia borane without base additives

Developing high-efficiency and low-cost catalysts for hydrogen evolution from hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) is significant and critical for the exploitation and utilization of hydrogen energy. Herein, the in-situ fabrication of well-dispersed and small bimetallic RuNi alloy nanoparticles (NPs) with tuned compositions and concomitant hydrolysis of AB are successfully achieved by using graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) as a NP support without additional stabilizing ligands. The optimized Ru₁Ni_7.5/g-C₃N₄ catalyst exhibits an excellent catalytic activity with a high turnover frequency of 901 min^?1 and an activation energy of 28.46 kJ mol^?1 without any base additives, overtaking the activities of many previously reported catalysts for AB hydrolysis. The kinetic studies indicate that the AB hydrolysis over Ru₁Ni_7.5/g-C₃N₄ is first-order and zero-order reactions with respect to the catalyst and AB concentrations, respectively. Ru₁Ni_7.5/g-C₃N₄ has a good recyclability with 46% of the initial catalytic activity retained even after five runs. The high performance of Ru₁Ni_7.5/g-C₃N₄ should be assigned to the small-sized alloy NPs with abundant accessible active sites and the synergistic effect between the composition-tuned Ru–Ni bimetals. This work highlights a potentially powerful and simple strategy for preparing highly active bimetallic alloy catalysts for AB hydrolysis to generate hydrogen.     

Enhancing urban infrastructure investment planning practices for a changing climate.

Climate change raises many concerns for urban water management because of the effects on all aspects of the hydrological cycle. Urban water infrastructure has traditionally been designed using historical observations and assuming stationary climatic conditions. The capability of this infrastructure, whether for storm-water drainage, or water supply, may be over- or under-designed for future climatic conditions. In particular, changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events will have the most acute effect on storm-water drainage systems. Therefore, it is necessary to take future climatic conditions into consideration in engineering designs in order to enhance water infrastructure investment planning practices in a long time horizon. This paper provides the initial results of a study that is examining ways to enhance urban infrastructure investment planning practices against changes in hydrologic regimes for a changing climate. Design storms and intensity-duration-frequency curves that are used in the engineering design of storm-water drainage systems are developed under future climatic conditions by empirically adjusting the general circulation model output, and using the Gumbel distribution and the Chicago method. Simulations are then performed on an existing storm-water drainage system from NE Calgary to investigate the resiliency of the system under climate change.     

基于投影寻踪的径向基函数网络在参考腾发量预测中的应用

径向基函数网络(RBFN)已广泛应用于参考腾发量预测等领域，但常用的K均值聚类和自组织特征映射等方法在求取径向基函数网络隐层节点中心时存在较大不足。针对这一问题，本文引入投影寻踪方法，在投影降维的基础上实现对大量高维数据的聚类，建立了基于投影寻踪的径向基函数网络模型，并将该模型应用于山西潇河灌区参考腾发量的预测，研究了不同气象因子输入对参考腾发量预测精度的影响。结果表明，基于投影寻踪的径向基函数网络具有较强的适用性，只需使用最高温度、最低温度、日照时数和旬序数作为输入因子，就能以较高的精度预测参考腾发量。

采用Py-IR分析研究了硼(B)、镁(Mg)及B-Mg复合改性对HZSM-5分子筛表面酸性和催化性能的影响.结果表明,Mg、B及B-Mg复合改性后的HZSM-5,其B酸中心和L酸中心均降低.B元素的加入有利于对位选择性的提高,但会降低催化剂的稳定性.Mg元素的加入减缓了B元素的流失,提高了催化剂的稳定性,从而使得甲苯甲醇烷基化反应中对-二甲苯的收率大大提高.
