Propane conversion over zeolite catalysts: Comments on the role of Ga

The activation of propane using zeolite H-Y and Ga³⁺ exchanged zeolite Y indicates that in the presence of Ga³⁺ the mechanism of propane activation is changed from a cracking pathway to a dehydrogenation pathway. The presence of both Ga³⁺ and H⁺ are required to achieve this effect.

Tribology of nitriding layer, TiN coatings and their complex on AISI D2 steel

The sliding wear and impact wear resistances of D2 steel with nitriding layer, PVD titanium nitride coating and their duplex treatment were investigated. The experimental results suggest that the duplex treatment has the best sliding and impact wear resistances under experimental conditions. And the wear resistance of PVD titanium nitride is better than that of nitriding. The impact wear resistance and wear mechanism of all three surface layers remain unchanged under impact load of 0.2 J or 1 J. All samples end with the same symptom of flaking.

N、S共掺杂碳基高效氧还原催化剂的制备

杂原子掺杂碳基氧还原（ORR）催化剂具有代替Pt基催化剂的巨大潜力。以硫掺杂g-C₃N₄（S-doped g-C₃N₄, S-g-C₃N₄）作为硫源和氮源,以三嵌段共聚物P123作为碳源,通过简单的高温热解法成功制备了N、S共掺杂碳（N, S co-doped carbon, NSC）催化剂,并考察了热解温度对制备的NSC催化剂ORR性能的影响。材料表征结果显示:温度为1 000 ℃时制备的催化剂NSC-1000具有较高的氮含量和硫含量及最大的比表面积;电化学测试结果显示:NSC-1000具有最佳的ORR性能,在0.1 mol/L KOH溶液中半波电位（half-wave potential, E1/2）高达0.888 V,且经10 000圈循环伏安扫描后E1/2仅负移12 mV,表现出极佳的活性和稳定性。此外,旋转环盘电极测试结果显示:NSC-1000催化剂主要以四电子反应路径催化ORR的发生。本实验为制备N、S共掺杂碳基高效ORR催化剂提供了新的思路。     

Modified g-C3N4 derived from ionic liquid and urea for promoting visible-light photodegradation of organic pollutants

In this work, modified g-C₃N₄ was fabricated successfully by calcination of ionic liquid (IL) and urea. The addition of IL changed the polymerization mode of urea, induced the self-assembly of urea molecules, modified the morphological structure of the tightly packed g-C₃N₄, and extended the electron conjugation system. When using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl) as a modifier, the heteroatom Cl could be inserted into the g-C₃N₄ to optimize the electronic structure. The results of characterizations indicate that the unique structure of modified g-C₃N₄ has an expanded electron delocalization range, introduces an interlayer charge transmission channel, promotes the charge transmission, reduces the band gap, enhances the absorption of visible light, and inhibits electron-hole recombination. Modified g-C₃N₄ showed excellent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of rhodamine B and tetracycline. Furthermore, the effect of different anions in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium salts ([Bmim]Cl, [Bmim]Br, [Bmim][BF₄], and [Bmim][PF₆]) on the structure and function of g-C₃N₄ are discussed.     

Boron Nitride Nanosheets Strengthened PVA/Borax Hydrogels with Highly Efficient Self-Healing and Rapid pH-Driven Shape Memory Effect

Self-healing hydrogels often possess poor mechanical properties which largely limits their applications in many fields. In this work, boron nitride nanosheets are introduced into a network of the poly(vinyl alcohol)/borax (PVA/borax) hydrogels to enhance the mechanical properties of the hydrogel without compromising the self-healing abilities. The obtained hydrogels exhibit excellent mechanical properties with a tensile strength of 0.410 ± 0.007 MPa, an elongation at break of 1712%, a Young's Modulus of 0.860 ± 0.023 MPa, and a toughness of 3.860 ± 0.075 MJ m⁻³. In addition, the self-healing efficiency of the hydrogels is higher than 90% within 10 min at room temperature. Benefiting from the excellent self-healing properties, the shapeability of the hydrogel fragments is observed using different molds. In addition, the hydrogels display rapid pH-driven shape memory effects and can recover to their original shape within 260 s. Overall, this work provides a new approach to hydrogels with integrated excellent mechanical properties, self-healing abilities, and rapid pH-driven shape memory effects.     

Recent Advances in Boron Nitride Based Hybrid Polymer Nanocomposites

Boron nitride (BN) is an eminent inorganic compound having many interesting characteristics such as improved oxidation resistance, mechanical strength, good thermal conductivity (TC), higher bandgap, high chemical stability, thermal stability, high hydrophobicity, and electrical insulation. The use of BN as a filler in polymers is a well-established strategy to tailor the properties of polymer composites. Recent studies depict an interesting urge to reap the synergistic effect of various nanofillers with BN in the form of hybrids. Hence the consolidation of the works on BN based hybrid fillers would definitely attract researchers so that these new filler systems could be transformed into useful polymer nanocomposites in future. This review article focuses on the synthesis and characterization of various boron nitride based hybrids in detail. Moreover, the review also throws light on different BN hybrid reinforced polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) and their thermal, electrical, electronic as well as biomedical applications in a detailed manner. Thus the review anticipates serving as a tool toward understanding the recent trends in the field of boron nitride hybrid based ternary polymer composites.
