Small-sized bimetallic nanoparticles that possess numerous accessible metal sites and optimal geometric/electronic structures show great promise for advanced synergetic catalysis but remain synthetic challenge so far. Here, an universial synthetic method is developed for building a library of bimetallic nanoparticles on mesoporous sulfur-doped carbon supports, consisting of 24 combinations of 3 noble metals (that is, Pt, Rh, Ir) and 7 other metals, with average particle sizes ranging from 0.7 to 1.4 nm. The synthetic strategy is based on the strong metal-support interaction arising from the metal-sulfur bonding, which suppresses the metal aggregation during the H2-reduction at 700 °C and ensure the formation of small-sized and alloyed bimetallic nanoparticles. The enhanced catalytic properties of the ultrasmall bimetallic nanoparticles are demonstrated in the dehydrogenation of propane at high temperature and oxidative dehydrogenations of N-heterocycles.
A sulphide layer with a certain thickness was made on the surface of 1045 and 52100 steels by means of a low temperature ion sulphurisation process. Tribological behaviours of the sulphide layers were investigated on a SRV reciprocating wear tester under dry and paraffin oil lubrication conditions. SEM equipped with EDX was used to analyse the morphologies and compositions of wear scars and wear debris. Sulphide layers showed remarkable friction-reducing effects and obvious wear-resistance. With the increase in thickness of the sulphide layer, its operational period was extended, but its friction coefficient was unchanged greatly. Under the same experimental conditions, the operational period of the sulphide layer on 52100 steel was longer than that on 1045 steel, and the wear-resistance of the former was better. The wear mechanism of the sulphurised surface is discussed. 相似文献
Sulfide layers with a certain thickness were made on the surface of 1045 and 52100 steels by means of the low-temperature
ion sulfuration technique. Metallography, scanning electron microscope (SEM) + energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX), and
x-ray diffraction (XRD) were adopted to analyze the structure of sulfide layers; the tribological properties of the layers
lubricated by paraffin oil were also investigated on a reciprocating tester. The results showed that sulfide layer is porous,
and its structure is mainly composed of FeS, FeS2, and substrate phases. The sulfide layer possessed a remarkable friction-reducing effect; its friction coefficient was lower
on average, by about 50%, than that of the surface without layer. With the increase of layer thickness, its friction coefficient
was unchanged, and under low load conditions, its operational period was prolonged. Under the same experimental conditions,
the operational period of sulfide layer on 52100 steel was longer than that on 1045 steel, and its friction coefficient was
lower as well. 相似文献
Phenolic resin-based porous carbon nanofibers (PCNFs) with large surface area and narrow pore size distribution have been successfully prepared using novolac-type phenolic resin as precursor. The high molecular weight precursor was first synthesized in this study, then was dissolved in methanol. The PCNFs were finally obtained through electrospinning the phenolic resin polymer solution followed by successive curing and carbonization without activation. The N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms reveal that the PCNFs have high specific surface area about 812 m2/g, the pore size falls in the range of 0.4-0.7 nm and the pore volume is 0.91 cm3/g. The vapor adsorption testing demonstrated that PCNFs exhibited different adsorption performance for ethanol and water. 相似文献
Heterostructures exhibit considerable potential in the field of energy conversion due to their excellent interfacial charge states in tuning the electronic properties of different components to promote catalytic activity. However, the rational preparation of heterostructures with highly active heterosurfaces remains a challenge because of the difficulty in component tuning, morphology control, and active site determination. Herein, a novel heterostructure based on a combination of RuMo nanoalloys and hexagonal N-doped carbon nanosheets is designed and synthesized. In this protocol, metal-containing anions and layered double hydroxides are employed to control the components and morphology of heterostructures, respectively. Accordingly, the as-made RuMo-nanoalloys-embedded hexagonal porous carbon nanosheets are promising for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), resulting in an extremely small overpotential (18 mV), an ultralow Tafel slope (25 mV dec−1), and a high turnover frequency (3.57 H2 s−1) in alkaline media, outperforming current Ru-based electrocatalysts. First-principle calculations based on typical 2D N-doped carbon/RuMo nanoalloys heterostructures demonstrate that introducing N and Mo atoms into C and Ru lattices, respectively, triggers electron accumulation/depletion regions at the heterosurface and consequently reduces the energy barrier for the HER. This work presents a convenient method for rational fabrication of carbon–metal heterostructures for highly efficient electrocatalysis. 相似文献
