The corrosion behavior of oxygen-free copper in anoxic sulfide solutions under nuclear waste disposal conditions was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with a focused ion beam (FIB), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Micro X-ray diffraction ( XRD). The film growth process and mechanism were elucidated using an Au mark...

The exploration of high-efficiency bifunctional electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen (OER) has long been challenging. rational design a catalyst by constructing heterostructures doping element are possibly expected to achieve it. Herein, the utilization flower-like Fe/C-doped-MoS2/Ni3S2-450 spherical structural materials electrocatalytic HER OER is introduced in thi...

The effects of microbial iron reduction and oxidation on the immobilization and mobilization of copper were investigated in a high concentration of sulfate with synthesized Fe(III) minerals and red earth soils rich in amorphous Fe (hydr)oxides. Batch microcosm experiments showed that red earth soil inoculated with subsurface sediments had a faster Fe(III) bioreduction rate than pure amorphous F...

A solvothermal method has been employed to synthesize bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) with three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical architectures. The influences of different types of surfactants and Cl(-) species on the size and morphology were investigated. A possible formation mechanism was also proposed on the basis of time-dependent experiments. The photoresponse properties show that the conductivity o...

An homologous series of layered oxysulfides Sr2MnO2Cu(2m-delta)S(m+1) with metamagnetic properties is described. Sr2MnO2Cu(2-delta)S2 (m = 1), Sr2MnO2Cu(4-delta)S3 (m = 2) and Sr2MnO2Cu(6-delta)S4 (m = 3), consist of MnO2 sheets separated from antifluorite-type copper sulfide layers of variable thickness by Sr(2+) ions. All three compounds show substantial and similar copper deficiencies (delta...

Hierarchical copper shells anchored on magnetic nanoparticles were designed and fabricated to selectively deplete hemoglobin from human blood by immobilized metal affinity chromatography. Briefly, CoFe2O4 nanoparticles coated with polyacrylic acid were first synthesized by a one-pot solvothermal method. Hierarchical copper shells were then deposited by immobilizing Cu2+ on nanoparticles and sub...

ABSTRACT. The effects of copper concentration on the properties lead sulfide thin films have been reported. Chemical bath deposition (CBD) method was used to deposit ternary material soda-lime substrates. Here, were grown using copper(II) chloride, nitrate, and thiourea as sources (Cu), (Pb) sulfur (S), respectively. examined X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energ...

A polynucleating oxygen donor ligand based on condensation of p-chlorophenylstibonic acid (ArSbO(3)H(2)) and t-butylphosphonic acid is reported. [(SbAr)(2)O(HO(3)P(t)Bu)(6)] contains two antimony centres, bridged by an oxide and two hydrogen phosphonates. Reaction with copper acetate under solvothermal conditions produces four new polymetallic copper complexes. With pyridine used as a base the ...
