In 2019,Journal of Colloid and Interface Science included an article by Huang, Chengrong; Shang, Longmei; Han, Peng; Gu, Zhengxiang; Al-Enizi, Abdullah M.; Almutairi, Tahani M.; Cao, Na; Zheng, Gengfeng. Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks. The article was titled 《Electrochemical N2 fixation by Cu-modified iron oxide dendrites》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
The electrochem. nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) under mild conditions is significantly challenging, due to the extremely high stability of dinitrogen (N2) mols. The NRR pathway also confronts the competitive water reduction reaction that takes places universally in an aqueous solution Herein, a Fe2O3/Cu catalyst is demonstrated as an efficient NRR electrocatalyst. The electronic interactions elevate the d-state electron center, enabling strong back-bonding for N2 mols. The altering of d-electron distribution promotes the adsorption of N2, leading to a high catalytic activity. As a result, the Fe2O3/Cu catalyst exhibits an outstanding ammonia production rate of 15.66 μg·h-1·mg-1cat. at -0.1 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), a Faradaic efficiency of 24.4%, and a good electrochem. stability. In the experiment, the researchers used Potassium sodium (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxysuccinate tetrahydrate(cas: 6381-59-5Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks)
Potassium sodium (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxysuccinate tetrahydrate(cas: 6381-59-5) is a ferroelectric crystal with a high piezoelectric effect and electromechanical coupling coefficient. Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks As a Biuret reagent, it is used to measure the protein concentration. Furthermore, it is used as laxative and is also used in food industry.
