Nano-sized nickel oxides have been synthesized in a water-in-oil microemulsion. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) and nitrogen adsorption/desorption. The particle size of nickel oxide can be controlled from 11.5 to 31.5 nm by varying the proportion of water, surfactant and oil in the microemulsion, mixing method, and calcining temperature. Gas sensors based on as-synthesized nickel oxide are fabricated and investigated. They exhibit much higher sensitivities to hydrogen sulfide, ethanol and nitrogen dioxide, compared to those based on the conventional bulk NiO. Furthermore, the response of as-synthesized materials to various kinds of target gases increases with the decreasing of the particle size of gas sensors. It is noted that the NiO sensor with particle size of 11.5 nm displays high degree of selectivity, coupled with high response value, making it particularly interesting for H2S-monitoring applications.

Theoretical superlubricity and its friction stability of amorphous carbon film induced by simple surface graphitization

Xiaowei Li, Naizhou Du, Cunao Feng, Kai Chen, Xubing Wei, Dekun Zhang, Kwang-Ryeol Lee

Summary: Amorphous carbon (a-C) film is an increasingly important material in technical and industrial applications due to its superlubricious properties. However, achieving superlubricity in a-C film requires the formation of specific nanostructures or components, making the preparation process difficult and complex. In this study, a simple and effective approach is proposed to achieve superlubricity by in-situ forming a graphitized structure on the a-C surface through fast annealing. The results show that the friction property is closely related to the graphitized degree of the mated a-C surfaces and a friction coefficient below 0.01 or even 0.001 can be obtained for highly graphitized systems. This approach also demonstrates excellent stability and reliability of superlubricious behavior, making it a promising method for industrial scale-up.

Unraveling the friction response from selective hydrogenation of textured amorphous carbon surface

Naizhou Du, Xubing Wei, Xiaowei Li, Zan Chen, Shiqi Lu, Jiaqing Ding, Cunao Feng, Kai Chen, Jianghao Qiao, Dekun Zhang, Kwang-Ryeol Lee

Summary: In this study, the friction behavior and the transformation of interfacial structure of textured a-C films with selective hydrogenated surfaces were systematically investigated using reactive molecular dynamics simulation. Results showed that introducing hydrogen atoms to the selective bump sites of textured a-C surfaces significantly reduced the friction coefficient, but its efficiency was closely related to the hydrogen content. Moreover, the separation and re-bonding of -CH clusters from the textured a-C surface during the sliding process played a key role in enhancing the repulsive effect between contacted a-C surfaces, thereby improving the anti-friction behavior.

Highly Reactive Biomass Waste Humins Derived from Photocatalytic Polymerization of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural for Self-Healing Polymers

Wenyan Zhang, Haoyu Zhang, Yirong Feng, Tingting Ma, Fengyang Liu, Shuangfei Zhao, Jiming Yang, Yuguang Li, Dong Ji, Weiwei Tang, Xiaowei Li, Zheng Fang, Wei He, Kai Guo

Summary: In this study, the photocatalytic polymerization of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was used to prepare photo-generated humins (L-H) for the first time. The introduction of HMF into low-molecular-weight humins (LMW-H) increased the molecular weight and furan ring content of L-H under visible light. Compared to humins prepared by the thermal-acid method (A-H), L-H had a lower molecular weight and exhibited great solubility and high chemical reactivity. The structure units of L-H and A-H were also different, with L-H containing 5-hydroxy-4-keto-pentenoic acid (HKPA) generated by reacting HMF with singlet-oxygen. The furan-based polymer DA-L-H obtained through the Diels-Alder (DA) reaction showed self-healing properties, with a recovery efficiency of 92.8%. The utilization of biomass waste humins allows for resource recycling and sustainable economic development.

Tingting Ma, Chao Xu, Fengyang Liu, Yirong Feng, Wenyan Zhang, Weiwei Tang, Haoyu Zhang, Xiaowei Li, Yingying Nie, Shuangfei Zhao, Yuguang Li, Dong Ji, Zheng Fang, Wei He, Kai Guo

Summary: Selective epoxidation and allylic oxidation of cyclohexene were achieved using BEA-Ti and (metallo)porphyrin catalysts. The combination of BEA-Ti and porphyrin H2MTPP resulted in high selectivity for cyclohexene oxide. BEA-Ti and metalloporphyrin MnMTPP yielded high selectivity for 2-cyclohexen-1-one. The oxidation process was promoted by active species involving (metallo)porphyrin, TiIV sites, and TBHP, and an improved outer-sphere effect on the surface of BEA-Ti framework contributed to enhanced conversion and selectivity in epoxidation and allylic oxidation.
