Investigation of titanium liquid/gas diffusion layers in proton exchange membrane electrolyzer cells

In a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer cell (PEMEC), liquid/gas diffusion layer (LGDL) is expected to transport electrons, heat, and reactants/products to and from the catalyst layer with minimum voltage, current, thermal, interfacial, and fluidic losses. In addition, carbon materials, which are typically used in PEM fuel cells (PEMFCs), are unsuitable in PEMECs due to the high ohmic potential and highly oxidative environment of the oxygen electrode. In this study, a set of titanium gas diffusion layers with different thicknesses and porosities are designed and examined coupled with the development of a robust titanium bipolar plate. It has been found that the performance of electrolyzer improves along with a decrease in thickness or porosity of the anode LGDL of titanium woven meshes. The ohmic resistance of anode LGDL and contact resistance between anode LGDL and the anode catalyst play dominant roles in electrolyzer performance, and better performance can be obtained by reducing ohmic resistance. Thin titanium LGDLs with straight-through pores and optimal pore morphologies are recommended for the future developments of low-cost LGDLs with minimum ohmic/transport losses.

Scanning proton microprobe microanalysis for the assessment of homogeneity of IAEA urban dust reference materials

In order to develop new reference materials for microanalytical nuclear techniques, scanning proton microprobe(SPM) technique was used to determine homogeneity level within 100x200 μm2 micro-area on the small pieces of IAEA urban dust reference materials. The experimental methods were described in detail. The results show that IAEA-396A/M Vienna urban dust is homogeneous enough for small sample analysis of standard reference material (SRM).     

Effect of acute whole-body proton irradiation on hematological and intestinal variables in mice

Female C57BL/6 mice were exposed to a single dose of protons or ⁶⁰Co gamma rays at 20 mGy and 2 Gy, which represent the recommended limit for annual occupational exposure and the daily fractional dose for patients undergoing radiotherapy, respectively. A control group was not exposed to radiation. The number of peripheral blood, bone marrow, and spleen cells was assessed 24 h after radiation to investigate the marrow suppression. The number of lymphocytes and neutrophils in peripheral blood was significantly lower in mice exposed to the higher dose of radiation than in the nonirradiated mice. However, at a low dose of radiation, there were no discernable hematological effects. The frequency of micronuclei in bone marrow cells was increased only after the high dose of gamma radiation. Radiation-induced intestinal apoptosis was measured using terminal deoxynucleotide transferase labeling assay. The magnitude of damage was greater after gamma irradiation than after proton irradiation at the same dose. Among the systemic biological end point to predict whole body radiation effect, the apoptosis of intestinal crypts may be the most sensitive parameter to provide information even at low dose of radiation.

基于质子转移反应质谱(PTR-MS)对北方冬季大气氨的观测研究

氨是大气中广泛存在的碱性气体,已有的研究表明,氨能够参与包括硫酸/水体系的三元成核过程,进而促进新粒子的形成;同时,氨也是大气二次有机气溶胶（SOA）的重要前体物,对二次有机气溶胶的形成具有不可忽视的影响.了解大气中氨的污染情况,实现对大气中氨的高时间分辨率的在线观测,对于研究大气中氨的时空分布及来源解析,进而加深对气溶胶生成机理及气溶胶在大气辐射平衡与气候变化中作用的认识有重要意义.本研究使用一台自主搭建的质子转移反应质谱仪（PTR-MS）,以丙酮作为反应试剂,由电晕放电离子源产生质子化的丙酮反应试剂离子（（C₃H₆O）_nH⁺）（n=1,2）,与大气中的气态氨及其他碱性气体发生质子转移反应后进行质谱检测.丙酮（C₃H₆O）相较于水（H₂O）和乙醇（C₂H₅OH）,具有更高的质子亲和力（PA=194.1 kcal·mol^-1）,对PA较高的碱基化合物的选择性更好,可减少其他物质对四极杆质谱检测结果的影响.本研究在2017年11月9日—2018年1月10日和2018年11月12日—2019年1月2日华北地区气溶胶生成机理综合研究联合外场观测期间,将PTR-MS部署于山东省德州市平原县气象局观测场内,对大气中的氨气进行实时在线观测.结果表明,两次观测的气态氨平均值分别为（5.89±5.27）ppbv和（2.65±2.41）ppbv,均呈现出一个明显的日变化规律,即上午6：00—7：00出现峰值,随后逐渐下降,在下午大约15：00浓度达到最低值,随后上升.结合正交矩阵因子分解法（Positive Matrix Factorization,PMF）模型对当地近地面大气中氨气进行初步的来源分析,发现当地大气中氨气的来源主要是周边农村在冬季大量使用生物质燃料燃烧取暖造成的生活排放和当地交通源排放.两次冬季观测中当地农村取暖等生活排放分别占到66.0%和55.0%;交通排放在两次观测中分别占到27.0%和36.8%;农田土壤释放、畜牧养殖排放和工业排放等其他来源占比较低,分别是6.2%和7.5%;外部传输来源只占到很少一部分,分别是0.8%和0.7%.2018年的冬季观测相较于2017年,氨气浓度总体出现下降,主要来源还是以当地农村冬季生活和取暖燃烧排放为主,但通过相关政策管控,这一污染来源得到改善.
