49%) &gt; 4 wt % (77.72%) &gt; 0 wt % (29.64%)]. Arabinose, xylitol, gluconic acid, and formic acid were found as the high-value chemicals with the photocatalytic reaction of TiO2 and Ag-doped TiO2 nanofibers under UVA irradiation. Product yields of each converted chemicals from different photocatalysts from different Ag loading contents showed relatively same trends with the glucose conversion. From all results, it can be concluded that the good characteristics of 2 wt % Ag-TiO2 nanofibers such as the smallest anatase crystallite size (8.25 nm) and the highest specific surface area (S BET = 53.69 m2/g) promoted the highest photocatalytic activity. Additionally, TiO2 and Ag-doped TiO2 nanofibers exhibited higher photocatalytic performance for glucose conversion than commercial TiO2 (P25) and synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles. Finally, Ag-doped TiO2 nanofibers showed recycling ability with high photocatalytic glucose conversion after four-time use.

A polyPhA-based multifunctional initiator poly(PhAVE-AcOH) with a narrow molecular weight distribution (M w/M n = 1.02) was synthesized by Rh complex-mediated living coordination polymerization of PhAVE-AcOH. Then, living cationic graft polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE) was performed employing the pendant 1-(acetoxy) ethoxy initiating moiety of poly(PhAVE-AcOH) to form polyIBVE-grafted polyPhA(polyPhA-g-polyIBVE), where both the main chain and side chains possessed well-controlled structures (M w/M n = 1.05-1.10). We found that UV-vis absorption spectra of polyPhA-g-polyIBVE were progressively redshifted with increasing molecular weights of the graft chain.

Results indicated that ozone concentration and the type and concentration of additives had the most significant effect on NO removal. The optimal ozone concentration was 250 ppm (NO/NO2 = 1), and the best additive was KMnO4. The removal efficiency of NO x was as high as 97.86% when NO/NO2 = 1, and the concentration of KMnO4 was 0.025 mol/L. Considering economic and other factors, the KMnO4 concentration was selected to be 0.006 mol/L. At this time, the removal efficiencies of NO x and SO2 were 81.35 and 100%, respectively. This method has potential application prospects for simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO in the industrial flue gas.

The temperature raising characteristics of silicon powder by microwave heating and the influencing factors of the nitridation reaction process were studied. The thermogravimetric analysis was performed, and the temperature raising dielectric properties of silicon powder were studied. The electromagnetic field and temperature distributions of the microwave heating-induced silicon powder nitridation process were simulated using COMSOL software. The nitridation reaction of silicon powder induced by microwave heating has better temperature raising characteristics the average heating rate can reach 135 °C/min, and the reaction time is significantly shortened (only 10-20 min). Microwave heating decreases the nitridation reaction temperature by more than 100 °C and greatly shortens the reaction time. With the increase of nitrogen pressure and reaction time, the nitridation reaction is better. In addition, the conversion of the nitridation reaction is more than 97%, and the products are mainly β-Si3N4 with the uniform and columnar morphology. Finally, it is proved that the efficient recovery and utilization of industrial waste silicon powder are realized, and there is lower energy consumption by microwave heating technology.

Interfacing ultrathin SrRuO3 layers with large spin-orbit coupling 5d transition-metal oxides, such as SrIrO3, results in pronounced peaklike anomalies in the magnetic field dependence of the Hall resistivity. Such anomalies have been attributed either to the formation of Néel-type skyrmions or to modifications of the Berry curvature of the topologically nontrivial conduction bands near the Fermi level of SrRuO3. Here, epitaxial multilayers based on SrRuO3 interfaced with 5d perovskite oxides, such as SrIrO3 and SrHfO3, were studied. This work focuses on the magnetotransport properties of the multilayers, aiming to unravel the role played by the interfaces with 5d perovskites in the peaklike anomalies of the Hall resistance loops of SrRuO3 layers. Interfacing with large band gap insulating SrHfO3 layers did not influence the anomalous Hall resistance loops, while interfacing with the nominally paramagnetic semimetal SrIrO3 resulted in pronounced peaklike anomalies, which have been lately attributed to a topological Hall effect contribution as a result of skyrmions. This interpretation is, however, under strong debate and lately alternative causes, such as inhomogeneity of the thickness and the electronic properties of the SrRuO3 layers, have been considered. Aligned with these latter proposals, our findings reveal the central role played in the anomalies of the Hall resistivity loops by electronic inhomogeneity of SrRuO3 layers due to the interfacing with semimetallic 5d5 SrIrO3.
