Investigations on dehydration processes of trisodium citrate hydrates

Junyan GAO, Yanlei WANG, Hongxun HAO

《化学科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2012年第6卷第3期页码 276-281 doi: 10.1007/s11705-012-1206-4

摘要： The dehydration processes of trisodium citrate (Na C H O ) hydrates were investigated using thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). It was found that the temperature of dehydration of trisodium citrate dihydrate was at 430.99 K. For trisodium citrate pentahydrate, there is a two-step dehydration process and the endothermal peaks appear at 337.23 K and 433.83 K, respectively. During the first step of dehydration process, the structure of trisodium citrate pentahydrate changed into the structure of trisodium citrate dihydrate. In addition, the kinetics of dehydration for trisoidum citrate hydrates was also investigated using TG data. According to the activation energies of dehydration calculated by Ozawa equation, it was found that the dehydration mechanisms of the two hydrates were different.

Tripotassium citrate monohydrate derived carbon nanosheets as a competent assistant to manganese dioxide

《化学科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2022年第16卷第3期页码 420-432 doi: 10.1007/s11705-021-2065-7

摘要： Production cost, capacitance, and electrode materials safety are the key factors to be concerned about for supercapacitors. In this work, a type of carbon nanosheets was produced through the carbonization of tripotassium citrate monohydrate and nitric acidification. Subsequently, a well-designed manganese dioxide/carbon nanosheets composite was synthesized through hydrothermal treating. The carbon nanosheets served as the substrate for growing the manganese dioxide, regulating its distribution, and preventing it from inhomogeneous dimensions and severe agglomeration. Many manganese dioxide nanosheets grew vertically on the numerous functional groups generated on the surface of the carbon nanosheets during acidification. The synergistic combination of carbon nanosheets and manganese dioxide tailors the electrochemical performance of the composite, which benefits from the excellent conductivity and stability of carbon nanosheets. The carbon nanosheets derived from tripotassium citrate monohydrate are conducive to the remarkable performance of manganese dioxide/carbon nanosheets electrode. Finally, an asymmetric supercapacitor with active carbon as the cathode and manganese dioxide/carbon nanosheets as the anode was assembled, achieving an outstanding energy density of 54.68 Wh·kg^–1 and remarkable power density of 6399.2 W·kg^–1 superior to conventional lead-acid batteries. After 10000 charge-discharge cycles, the device retained 75.3% of the initial capacitance, showing good cycle stability. Two assembled asymmetric supercapacitors in series charged for 3 min could power a yellow light emitting diode with an operating voltage of 2 V for 2 min. This study may provide valuable insights for applying carbon materials and manganese dioxide in the energy storage field.

《环境科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2009年第3卷第3期页码 281-288 doi: 10.1007/s11783-009-0032-5

摘要： Highly dispersed gold nanoparticles were supported on coal-based activated carbon (AC) by a sol immobilization method and were used to investigate their catalytic activity for low-level ozone decomposition at ambient temperature. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the catalysts before and after ozone decomposition. The results showed that the supported gold nanoparticles prepared with microwave heating were much smaller and more uniformly dispersed on the activated carbon than those prepared with traditional conduction heating, exhibiting higher catalytic activity for ozone decomposition. The pH values of gold precursor solution significantly influenced the catalytic activity of supported gold for ozone decomposition, and the best pH value was 8. In the case of space velocity of 120000h, inlet ozone concentration of 50mg/m, and relative humidity of 45%, the Au/AC catalyst maintained the ozone removal ratio at 90.7% after 2500min. After being used for ozone decomposition, the surface carbon of the catalyst was partly oxidized and the oxygen content increased accordingly, while its specific surface area and pore volume only decreased a little. Ozone was mainly catalytically decomposed by the gold nanoparticles supported on the activated carbon.

Comparison study on strategies to prepare nanocrystalline Li

Qiang XIAO, Xiaodan TANG, Yefeng LIU, Yijun ZHONG, Weidong ZHU

《化学科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2013年第7卷第3期页码 297-302 doi: 10.1007/s11705-013-1346-1

摘要： A comparison study has been conducted on the strategies for synthesizing nanocrystalline Li ZrO and K-doped Li ZrO absorbents for CO capture at high temperatures, including solid-state and liquid-phase methods, citrate route, and starch-assisted sol-gel method combined with freeze-drying technique. The absorption properties, including uptake rate and absorption capacity, of synthesized absorbents were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at different CO partial pressures. The nanosized Li ZrO crystals synthesized by the citrate route exhibit a faster uptake and a higher, nearly stoichiometric absorption capacity than those synthesized by the solid-state and liquid-phase methods. The doping of K into Li ZrO can significantly improve the uptake rate of CO , especially at low CO partial pressures. For the synthesis of K-doped Li ZrO , the citrate route has poor reproducibility and scalability, whereas the starch-assisted sol-gel method combined with freeze-drying technique is reproducible and easily scaled up, and the thus synthesized absorbents possess excellent CO capture properties.

Highly Aromatic Norditerpenoid Heterodimers and Monomers from Trigonostemon fragilis

Jun-Su Zhou,Long Cheng,Yuan Gao,Zhan-Peng Ge,Bin Zhou,Jing-Ya Li,Jin-Xin Zhao,Jian-Min Yue,

《工程（英文）》 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2023.09.015

摘要： Four new norditerpenoid heterodimers with different dimerization patterns—namely, trigofragiloids A–C (denoted as compounds 1–3) and (+)- and (−)-trigofragiloid D (compound 4)—and three new phenanthrenone norditerpenoids—namely, trigofragiloids E–G (compounds 5–7)—were isolated from Trigonostemon fragilis. Compounds 1 and 2 feature a novel heterodimeric carbon skeleton formed by the conjugation of a tetra-norditerpenoid and an ennea-norditerpenoid; they have been identified as class 2 atropisomers by means of quantum chemical calculations. Compound 3 is an unprecedented phenylpropanoid-norditerpenoid adduct with a new dimerization pattern. Compounds (+)- and (−)-4 are the first example of S-shaped 1,4-dioxane-fused norditerpenoid dimers. Inspired by the structure elucidation of compound 4, two co-occurring analogues, actephilol A and epiactephilol A, were structurally revised as a pair of geometrical isomers and were identified as two pairs of enantiomers, (+)- and (−)-8 and (+)- and (−)-9, respectively. Their structures were characterized using a combined method. Notably, compound 7 exhibits remarkable adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase (ACLY) inhibition with a half-maximal inhibition concentration (IC50) value of (0.46 ± 0.11) μmol∙L−1, as active as the positive control BMS-303141, and a molecular docking study offers deep insight into the interaction between compound 7 and ACLY.
