Accelerating C_(2+) alcohols synthesis from syngas by simultaneous optimizations of CO dissociation and chain growth over CuCo alloy catalyst

With regard to the reaction of higheralcohol synthesis(HAS),the optimizations of activity and selectivity towards C_(2+) alcohol are restricted by the improper equilibrium in two different CO activation pathways and chain growth capacity.Herein,we find that delibrately controlling the compositions of catalysts is an effective strategy to achieve the equilibrium of CO activation pathways and promote the chain growth.As a result,the optimized Cu_(0.25)Co_(0.75) alloy catalyst can achieve a large proportion of higher alcohol in alcohol products(C_(2+)OH/MeOH=4.40),together with high CO conversion of 71.27% and space-time-yield of 147.65 g kg~(-1) h~(-1).The mechanistic studies suggest that the good performance of Cu_(0.25)Co_(0.75) catalyst is attributed to the synergistic effect between alloyed Cu and Co.

A Rheological Model for Evaluating the Behavior of Shear Thickening of Highly Flowable Mortar

Neither the modified Bingham model nor the Herschel–Bulkley model can be used to characterize and calculate the performance of shear thickening of highly flowable mortar because of their incalculability of the rheological parameters. A new exponential rheological model was established to solve the characterization and calculation of shear thickening of the lubrication layer (highly flowable mortar) during the pumping of concrete in this paper. This new exponential rheological model has three rheological parameters, namely, yield stress, consistency coefficient, and consistency exponent. They can quantitatively describe the yield stress, differential viscosity, and shear thickening degree of highly flowable mortar. The calculating results of the rheological parameters of the newly established model for the mortars with different compositions showed that the consistency exponent of mortar decreased with the increase of its sand-binder ratio or the dosage of fly ash in the binder. This indicates that the shear thickening degree of mortar decreases. The consistency exponent of mortar initially decreases and subsequently increases with the increase in silica fume content or the dosage of the superplasticizer. It illustrates that the degree of the shear thickening of mortar initially decreased and subsequently increased. These varying patterns were confirmed by the rheological experiment of mortars.     

Hydrogen evolution across nano-Schottky junctions at carbon supported MoS2 catalysts in biphasic liquid systems

The activities of a series of MoS(2)-based hydrogen evolution catalysts were studied by biphasic reactions monitored by UV/Vis spectroscopy. Carbon supported MoS(2) catalysts performed best due to an abundance of catalytic edge sites and strong electronic coupling of catalyst to support.     

Four-electron oxygen reduction by tetrathiafulvalene

The four-electron reduction of oxygen by tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) in acidified 1,2-dichloroethane and at the acidified water/1,2-dichloroethane interface has been observed. Spectroscopy and ion transfer voltammetry results suggest that the reaction proceeds by the fast protonation of TTF followed by the 4-electron reduction of oxygen to form water. Electronic structure computations give evidence of the formation of a helical tetramer assembly ([TTF(4)H(2)](2+)) of two protonated TTF and two neutral TTF molecules. The protonated tetramer is potentially able to deliver the four electrons needed for the oxygen reduction. The production of water was corroborated by (1)H NMR analysis.     

Highly Efficient and Air-Stable Lanthanide EuII Complex: New Emitter in Organic Light Emitting Diodes

Luminescent Eu^II complexes with a characteristic 5d–4f transition have potential applications in many fields. However, their instability in ambient conditions impedes further exploration and application. Herein, we report two new Eu^II complexes, bis[hydrotris(3-trifluoromethylpyrazolyl)borate]europium(II) ( Eu-1 ) and bis[hydrotris(3-methylpyrazolyl)borate]europium(II) ( Eu-2 ). Intriguingly, the blue emissive Eu-1 showed high air stability arising from fluorine protection and close molecular packing, as maintaining a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 91 % (initial 96 %) upon exposure to air over 2200 hours. While the orange emissive Eu-2 showed a maximum luminance of 30620 cd m⁻², and a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6.5 %, corresponding to an exciton utilization efficiency around 100 % in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). These results could inspire further research on stable and efficient Eu^II complexes and their application in OLEDs.
