Synthesis of carbon nanocapsules containing Fe, Ni or Co by arc discharge in aqueous solution

A simple, inexpensive and one-step synthesis method of metal-containing carbon nanocapsules using an arc discharge in aqueous solution is reported. It was found that Ni, Co and Fe nanoparticles could be in situ encapsulated in carbon shells when the arc was performed respectively in aqueous solutions of NiSO₄, CoSO₄ and FeSO₄. Transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron diffraction patterns of selected areas were used to determine the crystalline phase of the metal cores. To explain the formation mechanism of metal-containing carbon nanocapsules, a model of discharge in solution is proposed. This result presents a simply controllable way to synthesize metal-containing carbon nanocapsules.     

Charge transfer effects in acid treated single-wall carbon nanotubes

Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) prepared by the arc discharge method were oxidized using nitric acid. The samples were analyzed by using Raman scattering and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The FTIR results indicate the presence of -COOH acid groups in the treated samples. The up shifts observed in the radial breathing mode frequencies suggest that SWNTs behave as donors after the acid treatment, with charge transfer occurring from the nanotubes to the -COOH groups. Ab initio calculations of SWNTs interacting with -COOH acid groups support the charge transfer process from the nanotubes to the carboxyl groups.     

Effect of zeolite in surface discharge plasma on the decomposition of toluene

Toluene was decomposed in a surface discharge plasma reactor packed with various zeolites. The positioning effect of the zeolite bed was also investigated Reactor-B, in which the zeolite bed was located upstream, performed much better than Reactor-A, in which the zeolite bed was located downstream. Furthermore, the decomposition efficiency in Reactor-B increased with the capacity for toluene adsorption on zeolite, while that in Reactor-A did not. The toluene adsorbed in micropores was not decomposed effectively by direct electron impact, but was decomposed by active oxygen species generated in the plasma zone on the zeolite surface. A good correlation was also observed between toluene decomposition and ozone consumption in the downward-type reactor.

船舶横向运动鲁棒PID控制及优化

针对船舶横向运动控制特点,为达到航向舵控制航向同时达到减横摇的目的,提出了一种基于闭环增益成形和模糊优化算法的鲁棒PID控制器设计方法。根据具有工程实际意义的横摇和艏摇带宽直接构造出横摇、艏摇鲁棒PID控制器,并基于横摇与艏摇频谱,组合成横向控制器。由于用舵来减摇不可避免地增加了舵机的工作负担造成较大的舵机损耗,为此提出对横摇和艏摇控制器输出加入权重分配,采用模糊算法优化横向控制器权系数的方法,达到系统性能综合最优。仿真结果表明所设计的控制器具有较强的鲁棒性,合理的权系数选择,不但可以达到降低舵机损耗的目的,而且提高了航向控制精度。该控制器设计简单,易于船舶横向运动控制的实际工程应用,具有一定的研究价值。

脉冲放电高能转化制备纳米粉体

综合介绍了脉冲电流通过细金属丝放电(pulsed wire discharge,PWD)制备纳米粉体的方法.讨论了影响纳米粉体,特别是晶粒尺寸的因素,以防止形成亚微米颗粒.因为达到电压峰值的丝的沉积能相当于丝的汽化能,因此,能夠计算出沉积能.随着所施加的能量增加,气体压力降低,介质气体的热扩散率增大,晶粒尺寸变小.在惰性气氛中,采用PWD工艺,由金属蒸气急冷可制备金属粉体.如果介质气体变为氧气或者氨气,就能制备氧化物、氮化物纳米粒子.要制备双金属合金、双氧化物或氮化物纳米粒子就必需采用双金属丝和不同的介质气体.采用PWD工艺,在有机气体或烟气中,能制备电磁屏蔽和导电浆料和其它用途的钝化纳米粒子.采用丝输送器而实现大量生产纳米粉体的PWD工艺一个实例证明了PWD工艺生产纳米粉体的可行性.     

Synthesis, isolation, spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization of some calcium-containing metallofullerenes

A few Ca-containing mono-metallofullerenes, i.e. Ca@C₇₆, Ca@C₈₈, Ca@C₉₀ (I, II), were synthesized by an improved DC arc discharge method and isolated by a multi-stage HPLC method for the first time. These isomer-separated metallofullerenes were characterized by LD-TOF MS and UV-vis-NIR spectrometry. Their HOMO-LUMO band gaps and possible molecular geometries are discussed according to the absorption spectra in this report. In addition, the cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry of Ca@C₇₆ was conducted in MeCN/C₆H₅CH₃ (1:4 v/v). The voltammograms of Ca@C₈₂ (II, III) and Ca@C₈₄ (II) were also recorded. Their electrochemical behaviors are discussed compared with those of corresponding ytterbium metallofullerenes. The features of the Ca metallofullerenes’ electronic structures are also discussed.     

Thermolysis of the polyyne C8H2 in hexane and methanol: Experimental and theoretical study

The mean lifetimes of polyyne C₈H₂ in hexane were determined at 50, 60, 80, and 100 °C and in methanol at 60 °C. The reactions are second order at all temperatures: ln k₂ = 20.5 ± 1.5-10303 ± 520T⁻¹ and the corresponding activation energy is 85.7 ± 6.3 kJ mol⁻¹ (7164 cm⁻¹). Extrapolation suggests that solutions at 1 mM concentration are significantly unstable at room temperature. Quantum chemical calculations show that polyynes C_mH₂ + C_nH₂ (m + n = 16) could be products, but these were not detected. Alternatively, C₁₆H₂ isomers could form. IR spectra of the solid residues from hexane and methanol solutions were obtained.
