查看更多>>摘要:Our previous experimental observations show that the crystal structure of lanthanide luminescent complexes synthesized in aqueous solution usually contains a large number of coordination water molecules or free water molecules.In order to probe the influence of water molecules on luminescent processes of lanthanide complexes,the photoluminescence properties of Ln-FBA(Ln=Eu and Tb,FBA=p-fluorobenzoic acid)coordination polymers at different ambient temperatures,in different sol-vents and aqueous DMSO solutions with different volume concentrations were systematically investi-gated.The experiment results show that the presence of water molecules can promote the energy transfer from FBA ligand to Ln3+,at the same time,can cause luminescent non-radiation quenching of lanthanide ions.In addition,the variation of emission intensity ratio of 615 nm/591 nm peaks of Eu3+with increasing the volume concentration of H2O can be potentially used for the quantitatively detection of water traces in organic solvents.In order to suppress the non-radiation quenching caused by the water molecules,Ln-FBA(Ln=Eu and Tb)coordination polymers were embedded into the PVP matrix to prepare Ln-FBA@PVP hybrid materials.The photoluminescence investigation indicates that PVP can not only block the quenching effect of water molecules on luminescence,but also effectively sensitize Eu3+and Tb3+luminescence.These experimental conclusions are useful for probing the influence of water molecules on luminescent processes of lanthanide complexes,quantitatively detecting water traces in organic solvents and enhancing the photoluminescence intensity in lanthanide complexes.

查看更多>>摘要:The thermogravimetric analysis(TGA)experiments were carried out to reveal the mechanism of Zr and Mn doping on catalytic activity of CeO2 catalyst both fresh and after hydrothermal aging,and the lattice morphology and valence changes were characterized by means of Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET)method,X-ray diffraction(XRD),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and H2-temperature pro-grammed reduction(H2-TPR).Density functional theory(DFT)and molecular thermodynamics calcula-tions were applied to investigate the change in catalytic activity,crystal surface energy and crystal morphology caused by hydrothermal aging.The maximum reaction rate temperature of fresh Mn/CeO2(389 ℃)is similar to that of CeO2(371 ℃)and lower than that of Zr/CeO2(447 ℃),but the catalytic performance of CeO2 decreases more severely after hydrothermal aging.The catalyst crystals show different degrees of crystal surface migration after hydrothermal aging,which leads to the reduction of Ce3+/Ce4+ratio and the active sites shift.DFT calculations indicate that the doping of Zr and Mn reduces the surface energy of the low Miller indices surface and increases the oxygen vacancy formation energy,leading to better thermal stability and lower catalytic activity.The Zr and Mn doping also changes the adsorption energy and Gibbs free energy of H2O,which dominates the migration of(111)to(110)and(100)in the vapor environment.The crystal surface migration mechanism of CeO2 catalysts doped with Zr and Mn induced by H2O molecules at high temperature obtained in this study can provide a valuable addition to the regeneration of CeO2 catalysts in the after-treatment systems of diesel engines.
查看更多>>摘要:It is still a challenge to simultaneously enhance coercivity(Hcj)and remanence(Jr)of hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B magnet due to the coercivity-remanence trade-off dilemma.Here,we achieved this balance be-tween Hcj and Jr by flake Cu powder assisted DyF3 interflake addition.The Hcj increases from 1218 to 1496 kA/m and Jr increases from 1.32 to 1.34 T compared with the original magnet.Results show that the width of coarse grain layers reduces because of the introduction of flake Cu,which increases the contact areas of the adjacent grains at ribbon interfaces and suppresses the excessive growth of grains.The stronger degree of texture and higher density compared with the original magnet should take the re-sponsibility for the increase of Jr.Additionally,the aggregation regions of rare earth rich(RE-rich)phase reduce and the betterment of the microstructure is another reason for the enhancement of Jr in the flake Cu aided DyF3 hot-deformed magnet.This strategy of using flake powder additives provides a promising method for optimizing microstructure and enhancing magnetic properties of hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B magnets.
