CeO2 is a catalytic material of exceptional technological importance, and the precise role oxygen vacancies crucial to greater understanding these oxide materials. In this work, two ceria nanorod samples with different types distributions were synthesized. A direct relationship between concentration larger size vacancy clusters reducibility/reactivity nanosized was revealed. These results may be an important step in designing active sites at surface metal
We demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, that cation vacancy can be the origin of ferromagnetism in intrinsic dilute magnetic semiconductors. The vacancies controlled to tune ferromagnetism. Using Li-doped ZnO as an example, we found while Li itself is nonmagnetic, it generates holes ZnO, its presence reduces formation energy Zn vacancy, thereby stabilizes zinc vacancy. Room temperature with p type conduction was observed pulsed laser deposited ZnO:Li films certain doping...
Drying is an important factor in the formation of green tea flavor. In this study, metabolomic analysis were used to detect characteristic components four teas with clean aroma (CA), chestnut-like (CLA), bean-like (BLA) and high-fired (HFA) produced by adjusting drying temperature. The sensory evaluation results showed that dried at 90°C, 110°C, 140°C 160°C had a aroma, respectively. A total 95 volatile compounds identified. Linalool, naphthalene, 2-methyl-naphthalene, 1-octen-3-ol...
An intrinsic plastic ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{45}{\mathrm{Zr}}_{46}{\mathrm{Al}}_{7}{\mathrm{Ti}}_{2}$ bulk metallic glass (BMG) with high strength and superior compressive strain of up to 32.5% was successfully fabricated by copper mold casting. The attributed a large amount randomly distributed free volume induced Ti minor alloying, which results in extensive shear band formation, branching, interaction self-healing cracks. mechanism plasticity presented here suggests that the creation BMGs...
How to achieve supported metal nanocatalysts with simultaneously enhanced activity and stability is of vital importance in heterogeneous catalysis remains a challenging goal. In this work, surface defect-promoted Ni nanocatalyst high dispersion particle density embedded on hierarchical Al2O3 matrix was fabricated via facile method involving an situ reduction process, which exhibits excellent for the reaction CO2 methanation. HRTEM, HAADF-STEM, EXAFS, positron annihilation spectroscopy...
An environmentally benign Cu–Ce–Ti oxide catalyst exhibited excellent NH3-SCR activity, high N2 selectivity and strong resistance against H2O SO2 with a broad operation temperature window. The dual redox cycles (Cu2+ + Ce3+ ↔ Cu+ Ce4+, Cu2+ Ti3+ Ti4+) play key roles for the superior catalytic deNOx performance.
We demonstrate that dopamine is able to self-polymerize and adhere firmly onto the substrate, which can create a hierarchical structure comprising an ultrathin active layer porous support layer. Such approach opens novel way fabricating highly efficient stable composite materials including membranes. More specifically, in this study membranes are fabricated by simply dipping microporous substrate aqueous solution under mild conditions. Nanoindentation measurement reveals tight adhesion of...
The effect of oxygen vacancies on the performance CoO as a cathode catalyst for Li–O<sub>2</sub> batteries has been investigated.
Defect-induced magnetism is firstly observed in neutron irradiated SiC single crystals. We demonstrated that the intentionally created defects dominated by divacancies (V(Si)V(C)) are responsible for magnetism. First-principles calculations revealed defect states favor formation of local moments and extended tails wave functions make long-range spin couplings possible. Our results confirm existence defect-induced magnetism, implying possibility tuning wide band-gap semiconductors engineering.
The goal of replenishing the cardiomyocyte (CM) population using regenerative therapies following myocardial infarction (MI) is hampered by limited regeneration capacity adult CMs, partially due to their withdrawal from cell cycle. Here, we show that microRNA-128 (miR-128) upregulated in CMs during postnatal switch proliferation terminal differentiation. In neonatal mice, cardiac-specific overexpression miR-128 impairs CM and cardiac function, while deletion extends enhancing expression...
