Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation represents a promising approach for artificial photosynthesis. However, the sluggish half-reaction of water oxidation significantly limits the efficiency of H2O2 generation. A substitutional reaction of oxidation with accelerated kinetics to produce value-added chemicals holds promise to tackle this challenge. Here, a benzylamine oxidation with more favorable thermodynamics is employed as the half-reaction to couple with H2O2 generation in water by using defective zirconium trisulfide (ZrS3) nanobelts as photocatalyst. The ZrS3 nanobelts with disulfide (S22-) and sulfide anion (S2-) vacancies exhibit an excellent photocatalytic performance for H2O2 generation and simultaneous oxidation of benzylamine to benzonitrile with a high selectivity of > 99%. The S22- vacancies are revealed to facilitate the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. The S2- vacancies can significantly improve the electron conduction, hole extraction, and kinetics of benzylamine oxidation. As a result, the use of defective ZrS3 nanobelts yields a high production rate of 78 and 32 µmol h-1 for H2O2 and benzonitrile, respectively, under a simulated sunlight irradiation.
Experimental research on stamping of wrought aluminum alloy has been an important issue at home and abroad. In this paper, taking stamping of aluminum alloy hemispherical components for example, the effects of blank holder force (BHF) on stamping forming process of aluminum alloy are explored by methods of experiments and numerical simulation. Through experiments, the forming laws of hemispherical components are found out. The research shows that the BHF has significant effects on the quality of stamping components and reasonable BHF can greatly improve the formability of hemispherical components. Additionally, by applying simulation software in stamping, the development circle of product and its moulds can be shortened, and product quality and its competitiveness in the market can be improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
