    摘要: The present invention provides a gold-copper alloy nanostructure which can be used as a catalyst for electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction and a method for synthesizing the same. The provided gold-copper alloy nanostructure has a heterophase composed of a hexagonal close-packed phase and a face-centered cubic phase. This gold-copper nanostructure shows an atomic ratio of 99 to 1 for gold to copper. The present invention adopts delicately structural modulation of nanomaterials based on the phase engineering of nanomaterials strategy and offers a promising way for the design and preparation of novel catalysts, especially those with unconventional phase, for enhancing their performances in various catalytic applications.

    摘要: A method for separating elemental phosphorus from iron oxide-containing and phosphate-containing materials includes at least the following steps: providing at least one iron oxide-containing and phosphate-containing material, adding at least one aluminum carrier to the at least one iron oxide-containing and phosphate-containing material and melting the at least one aluminum carrier together with the at least one iron oxide-containing and phosphate-containing material to form an aluminum-containing and optionally aluminum oxide-containing phosphate slag melt, reacting the aluminum-containing and optionally aluminum oxide-containing phosphate slag melt to elemental, gaseous phosphorus, iron and Al2O3-containing slag in a melting vessel, withdrawing the elemental, gaseous phosphorus and tapping off the iron and the Al2O3-containing slag.

    摘要: A general and well-controlled method for synthesizing intermetallic nanoparticles is provided. The method comprises: preparing noble-metal nanoparticle seeds; dispersing a metal precursor into the noble-metal nanoparticle seeds to form a first solution; adding the first solution into an organic solvent to form a first mixture; sonicating the first mixture at room temperature; subjecting the first mixture to a heat treatment under N2 atmosphere to render a second solution; cooling the second solution naturally to room temperature; adding ethanol to the second solution to form a third solution; and collecting the intermetallic nanoparticle from the third solution by centrifugation. The as-synthesized hollow orthorhombic Pd2Sn alloy nanoparticles can accelerate the cleavage of C—C bond when compared with commercial Pd/C and display superior catalytic performance towards glycerol oxidation reaction and potential for promising applications.

    摘要: A hydrogen generating cell comprising an input electrode plate pair, an output electrode plate pair, an X plate electrode positioned adjacent the output electrode plate pair, and a plurality of intermediate electrode plates disposed between the input and output electrode plate pairs. A plasma torch is spaced apart from and inductively coupled to the input electrode plate pair. A pulsed DC voltage is applied to the plasma torch and X-plate, while a lower voltage pulsed DC is applied to the input and output electrode plate pair to cause generation of hydrogen gas from water in which the cell is immersed.
