Mesoporous cobalt monoxide-supported platinum nanoparticles: Superior catalysts for the oxidative removal of benzene

Mesoporous Co_3 O_4(meso-Co_3 O_4)-supported Pt(0.53 wt.% Pt/meso-Co304) was synthesized via the KIT-6-templating and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)-assisted reduction routes.Mesoporous CoO(meso-CoO) was fabricated through in situ reduction of meso-Co304 with glycerol,and the 0.18-0.69 wt.% Pt/meso-CoO samples were generated by the PVA-assisted reduction method.Meso-Co_3 O_4 and meso-CoO were of cubic crystal structure and the Pt nanoparticles(NPs) with a uniform size of ca.2 nm were well distributed on the mesoCo_3 O_4 or meso-CoO surface.The 0.56 wt% Pt/meso-CoO(0.56 Pt/meso-CoO) sample performed the best in benzene combustion(T_(50%)=156℃and T_(90%)=186℃at a space velocity of 80,000 mL/(g h)).Introducing water vapor or C02 with a certain concentration led to partial deactivation of 0.56 Pt/meso-CoO and such a deactivation was reversible.We think that the superior catalytic activity of 0.56 Pt/meso-CoO was intimately related to its good oxygen activation and benzene adsorption ability.     

Nb2O5 nanowires in-situ grown on carbon fiber: A high-efficiency material for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)

Niobium oxide nanowire-deposited carbon fiber (CF) samples were prepared using a hydrothermal method with amorphous Nb₂O₅·nH₂O as precursor. The physical properties of the samples were characterized by means of numerous techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected-area electron diffraction (SAED), UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), N₂ adsorption–desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The efficiency for the removal of Cr(VI) was determined. Parameters such as pH value and initial Cr(VI) concentration could influence the Cr(VI) removal efficiency or adsorption capacity of the Nb₂O₅/carbon fiber sample obtained after hydrothermal treatment at 160°C for 14 hr. The maximal Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of the Nb₂O₅ nanowire/CF sample was 115 mg/g. This Nb₂O₅/CF sample also showed excellent photocatalytic activity and stability for the reduction of Cr(VI) under UV-light irradiation: the Cr(VI) removal efficiency reached 99.9% after UV-light irradiation for 1 hr and there was no significant decrease in photocatalytic performance after the use of the sample for 10 repeated cycles. Such excellent Cr(VI) adsorption capacity and photocatalytic performance was related to its high surface area, abundant surface hydroxyl groups, and good UV-light absorption ability.     

秦岭油松林不同坡位土壤CO2、CH4、N2O通量研究

在秦岭南坡火地塘林区天然次生油松林内选取上、中、下3个坡位,采用静态箱-气相色谱法对土壤CO_2、CH_4、N_2O通量进行了1年的监测.结果表明,坡位间土壤质地和水分的差别是引起不同坡位CO_2与N_2O通量差异的主要原因:下坡位土质为壤土,水分适宜,CO_2平均排放量为(156.49±9.72)mg·m~(-2)·h~(-1),CH_4平均吸收量为(77.43±14.27)μg·m~(-2)·h~(-1),都处于3个坡位间最高水平;中坡位土质为粉砂壤土,土壤粒径小,透气性差,CO_2排放量和CH_4吸收量均为3个坡位间的最小值,N_2O平均排放量为(9.57±0.66)μg·m~(-2)·h~(-1),为3个坡位间的最高值,且显著高于上坡位土壤N_2O通量(p0.01);上坡位土质为砂壤土,土壤孔隙度大且地表植被少,N_2O平均排放量为(5.59±0.74)μg·m~(-2)·h~(-1),为3个坡位间的最小值.总体来说,油松林土壤是CO_2、N_2O的排放源,是CH_4的吸收汇.3个坡位CO_2年通量具有明显的季节规律,表现为倒"S"形变化,且与土壤温度显著正相关(p0.01).受冻融循环的影响,N_2O主要在非生长季大量排放;生长季末期,受降雨事件影响,油松林中坡位出现N_2O吸收峰值.生长季上、下坡位CH_4吸收峰值的出现同样伴随着降雨事件的发生,非生长季,中坡位因土壤水分过高而出现短暂的CH_4排放现象.不同坡位土壤温室气体的全球增温潜势(Global Warming Potential,GWP)从大到小依次是上坡位、下坡位和中坡位.

Au − Pd/mesoporous Fe2O3: Highly active photocatalysts for the visible-light-driven degradation of acetone

Three-dimensionally ordered mesoporous Fe_2O_3(meso-Fe_2O_3) and its supported Au, Pd,and Au-Pd alloy(xA uP dy/meso-Fe_2O_3; x = 0.08–0.72 wt.%; Pd/Au molar ratio(y) = 1.48–1.85)photocatalysts have been prepared via the KIT-6-templating and polyvinyl alcohol-protected reduction routes, respectively. Physical properties of the samples were characterized, and their photocatalytic activities were evaluated for the photocatalytic oxidation of acetone in the presence of a small amount of H_2O_2 under visible-light illumination. It was found that the meso-Fe_2O_3 was rhombohedral in crystal structure. The as-obtained samples displayed a high surface area of 111.0–140.8 m~2/g and a bandgap energy of 1.98–2.12 eV. The Au, Pd and/or Au–Pd alloy nanoparticles(NPs) with a size of 3–4 nm were uniformly dispersed on the surface of the meso-Fe_2O_3 support. The 0.72 wt.% AuP d1.48/meso-Fe_2O_3 sample performed the best in the presence of 0.06 mol/L H_2O_2 aqueous solution, showing a 100% acetone conversion within4 hr of visible-light illumination. It was concluded that the good performance of 0.72 wt.%AuPd_(1.48)/meso-Fe_2O_3 for photocatalytic acetone oxidation was associated with its ordered mesoporous structure, high adsorbed oxygen species concentration, plasmonic resonance effect between AuPd_(1.48) NPs and meso-Fe_2O_3, and effective separation of the photogenerated charge carriers. In addition, the introduction of H_2O_2 and the involvement of the photo-Fenton process also played important roles in enhancing the photocatalytic activity of 0.72 wt.%AuPd_(1.48)/meso-Fe_2O_3.     

Graphitic carbon nitride-based photocatalysts in the applications of environmental catalysis

Semiconductor photocatalytic technology has shown great prospects in converting solar energy into chemical energy to mitigate energy crisis and solve environmental pollution problems. The key issue is the development of high-efficiency photocatalysts. Various strategies in the state-of-the-art advancements, such as heterostructure construction, heteroatom doping, metal/single atom loading, and defect engineering, have been presented for the graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄)-based nanocomposite catalysts to design their surface chemical environments and internal electronic structures to make them more suitable for different photocatalytic applications. In this review, nanoarchitecture design, synthesis methods, photochemical properties, potential photocatalytic applications, and related reaction mechanisms of the modified high-efficiency carbon nitride-based photocatalysts were briefly summarized. The superior photocatalytic performance was identified to be associated with the enhanced visible-light response, fast photoinduced electron-hole separation, efficient charge migration, and increased unsaturated active sites. Moreover, the further advance of the visible-light harvesting and solar-to-energy conversions are proposed.
