A carbon nanocage material (CKT) was first successfully sulfonated by introducing sulfophenyl groups on the surface of pore channels through benzenesulfonic acid-containing aryl radical in situ generated from the reaction of 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid and isoamyl nitrite in water. The sulfonated carbon nanocage material (S-CKT) was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, powder small-angle X-ray diffraction and nitrogen sorption measurements. The results showed that the S-CKT still possess the high specific surface area (787 m 2 /g) and uniform mesoporous (pore diameter 4.7 nm) structures, although the structure of S-CKT is slightly disorder, compared with its unsulfonated precursor. S-CKT, as a carbon-based solid acid catalyst, showed good catalytic performance and reusability in the cross-Aldol condensation of ketones with aromatic aldehydes under solvent-free condition.
The levitation forces between a single-domain YBCO bulk and several magnets of different sizes have been measured at 77 K to investigate the effect of the magnet size on the levitation force. It is found that the levitation force reaches a largest (peak) value when the size of the magnet approaches that of the superconductor when the other conditions are fixed. The absolute maximum attractive force (in the field-cooled state) increases with the increasing of the magnet size, and is saturated when the magnet size approaches that of the superconductor. The maximum attractive force in the field-cooled (FC) state is much higher than that of the maximum attractive force in the zero field-cooled (ZFC) state. The results indicate that the effects of magnetic field distribution on the levitation force have to be considered during the designing and manufacturing of superconducting devices.
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.
