CO2 Adsorption on H2O-Saturated BaO(1 0 0) and Induced Barium Surface Dissociation

CO2 Adsorption on H2O-Saturated BaO(1 0 0) and Induced Barium Surface Dissociation

The aggregated H2O molecules tend to produce a hydrogen-terminated surface, and then generate barium dissociation of the barium oxide (BaO) surface. The dissociated barium of the surface, driven by the high affinity of H2O to the surface, contributes to a reduction in basicity, which may gradually cause the reduction of CO2 adsorption performance.

A Convenient Method to Prepare Novel Rare Earth Metal Ce-Doped Carbon Nitride with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity Under Visible Light

Ce3+ was inserted into interstitial positions of g-C3N4 by coordinating to N atoms, which enhanced the SBET, decreased the bandgap energy, and increased the separation efficiency of electrons and holes, thus leading to enhanced photocatalytic activity.

Influence of Adiponitrile Additive on Ethylene Carbonate-based Electrolyte for Capacitors

The effect of ADN additive on EC electrolyte of EDLC was confirmed by various chemical and electrochemical performances. When adding ADN (30%), the capacitance of the capacitor had a value similar to that when using the commercial ACN electrolyte of EDLCs (about 40 F/g). Among the studied electrolytes, 70% EC/30% ADN electrolyte solution gave the best electrochemical properties, such as specific capacitance (44.6 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s) and cycle ability (98% retention of initial value after 2000 cycles).

Hard Carbon-coated Natural Graphite Electrodes for High-Energy and Power Lithium-Ion Capacitors

A hard carbon-coated natural graphite is proposed for use in high-power lithium-ion capacitors. By using polyacrylonitrile precursor, hard carbon is uniformly coated on the surface of natural graphite with the thickness of 20–30 nm. The coating layer on natural graphite is mainly responsible for the improved cycle life and excellent rate capability of LIC full cell.

Under excitation at 980 nm, the UC intensities of KGd0.7(WO4)2:Ho0.1Yb0.2 and KGd0.5(WO4)2Ho0.05Yb0.45 particles exhibited yellow emissions based on strong 550- and 655-nm emission bands in the green and red regions, respectively, which in turn were assigned to the 4S2/5F45I8 and 5F55I8 transitions, respectively.

Correlation of Drug and Carbon Nanotube Size in Encapsulation and Free Energy Calculation: A Molecular Insight

The diameter dependence of 20 different drugs on carbon nanotube (CNT) size in drug delivery was explored via molecular dynamics simulation. The changes in the gyration radius (Rg) of the CNTs and drugs were calculated, and a linear correlation was obtained.

Linker-dependent Junction Formation Probability in Single-Molecule Junctions

We measure the probability of the molecular junction formation with different linker groups via the STM-BJ technique. The junction formation probability of amine, methylsulfides, and thiol is found to be in the sequence SH > SMe > NH2.

Solid-phase Synthesis of Combinatorial 2,4-Disubstituted-1,3,5-Triazine via Amine Nucleophilic Reaction

We report a solid-phase synthesis of 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazines, starting from 2,4-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine captured by resin-bound amines followed by amination and acidic mild cleavage. The derivatives of 22 diamino-1,3,5-triazine compounds were prepared in high purity without extensive reaction conditions.
