Here, using first-principle calculations, we investigated the NRR catalysis process involving adjacent Ce Lewis acid clusters formed on(111),(110), and(100) facets of CeO_(2) as active sites. Our results revealed that the assembled structures of the Ce Lewis acid as active centers after the oxygen vacancies(Ovs) were opened. The exposed Ce sites on CeO_(2)(111), CeO_(2)(110), and CeO_(2)(100) can cause N_(2) to be adsorbed in a ‘‘lying-down" manner, which facilitates the N2 activation and thus leads to much higher NRR activity. Furthermore, from the perspective of electronic structure, we establish two useful descriptors for assessing the NRR activity on ceria with Ovs:The N–N bond strength of the adsorbed N_(2) and the adsorption energy of the *N_(2)H intermediate. This work thus provides direct guidance for the design of more-effective oxide catalysts without the use of scarce metals.展开更多

However,the anxi...Carbon materials have shown remarkable usefulness in facilitating the performance of insulating sulfur cathode for lithium–sulfur batteries owing to their excellent conductivity and porous structure. However,the anxiety is the poor affinity toward polar polysulfides due to the intrinsic nonpolar surface of carbon.Herein, we report a direct pyrolysis of the mixture urea and boric acid to synthesize B/N–codoped hierarchically porous carbon nanosheets(B–N–CSs) as efficient sulfur host for lithium–sulfur battery. The graphene–like B–N–CSs provides high specific surface area and porous structure with abundant micropores(1.1 nm) and low–range mesopores(2.3 nm), thereby constraining the sulfur active materials within the pores. More importantly, the codoped B/N elements can further enhance the polysulfide confinement through strong Li–N and B–S interaction based on the Lewis acid–base theory. These structural superiorities significantly suppress the shuttle effect by both physical confinement and chemical interaction, and promote the redox kinetics of polysulfide conversion. When evaluated as the cathode host, the S/B–N–CSs composite displays the excellent performance with a high reversible capacity up to 772 m A h g–1 at 0.5 C and a low fading rate of ^0.09% per cycle averaged upon 500 cycles. In particular, remarkable stability with a high capacity retention of 87.1% can be realized when augmenting the sulfur loading in the cathode up to 4.6 mg cm^(-2).展开更多

The structures of the ionic liquids were determined by means of FT-IR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The results of Py-IR analysis indicated that the two novel ionic liquids have both Br?nsted and Lewis acid properties. The acid strength values (H0) of the ionic liquids were measured utilizing the UV-visible spectroscopy combined with Hammett indicator method, and the acid amount of them was determined by acid-base titration.展开更多

The product distributions with different catalysts revealed that the Lewis acid was responsible for the isomerization of methyl glucoside(MG), producing a significant amount of the subsequent product 5-methoxymethylfurfural(MMF), while the Br?nsted acid facilitated the production of ML from MMF. Al_2(SO_4)_3 was efficient for monosaccharide conversion but not for cellulose. Using ball-milled cellulose with Al_2(SO_4)_3 resulted in a desired ML yield within a reasonable reaction time. The significant catalysis performances of two types of acids will guide the design of efficient catalytic processes for the selective conversion of biomass into levulinate esters.展开更多

The amount of catalyst used was studied. When zinc iodide catalyst used is more than 10mol% relative to monomer, the rate of polymerization is proportional to the concentration of monomer, whereas zinc iodide catalyst used is less than 10 mol% of the monomer, the rate of polymerization is independent of the monomer concentration.In the GTP of EA an induction period was observed when the zinc iodide contents are less than l0mol%. If the reaction temperature is over 0℃, living species become unstable and diminish, leading to incomplete monomer conversion. The reaction curves equations are obtained. The polymers have narrow molecular weight distributions which are not changed as decreasing zinc iodide contents. The polydispersity is about 1.2.展开更多

This method is so useful and practical that PS can be prepared by stirring dichlorosilanes at room temperature. This method was successfully applied for the synthesis of various types of PS having a linear structure, a cyclic structure and silane-styrene copolymers as another type of PS. The structure of the reaction intermediates was also analyzed. At the initiation stage the results of FD-MS (Field desorption mass spectrometry) and GPC (Gel permeation chromatography) showed that linear oligomers were mainly formed by stepwise reactions, and then the high polymers and cyclic oligomers were formed in parallel.展开更多
