TL;DR: Anatase TiO2, Ti0.95Ce0.05O2 and CeO2 were synthesized by inverse co-precipitation method, and then used as supports to prepare CuO/CeO2 catalysts through incipient-wetness impregnation method as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Anatase TiO2, Ti0.95Ce0.05O2 solid solution, and CeO2 were synthesized by inverse co-precipitation method, and then used as supports to prepare CuO/TiO2, CuO/Ti0.95Ce0.05O2, and CuO/CeO2 catalysts through incipient-wetness impregnation method. The obtained samples were investigated in detail by means of N2-physisorption, XRD, LRS, H2-TPR, XPS, NH3-TPD, and in situ DRIFTS technologies. Furthermore, NH3-SCR of NO in the presence of excess oxygen was chosen as a model reaction to evaluate the catalytic performances of these samples. The obtained results indicate that the incorporation of Ce4+ into the lattice of anatase TiO2 leads to the formation of unstable distorted octahedral coordination structure of Cu2+ in CuO/Ti0.95Ce0.05O2 catalyst and the enhancement of the electron interaction between copper oxide species and Ti0.95Ce0.05O2 support through the redox cycles of Cu2+ + Ce3+ ↔ Cu+ + Ce4+ and Cu2+ + Ti3+ ↔ Cu+ + Ti4+, which are beneficial to the formation of more Lewis acid sites on the surface of CuO/Ti0.95Ce0.05O2 catalyst and the activation of reactant molecules to generate more NH4NO2 species, all of these may promote the enhancement of catalytic performance for NH3-SCR of NO in the presence of excess oxygen. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism (schematic diagram) is tentatively proposed to further understand this model reaction.

TL;DR: It is shown that the unpaired electron of this radical is located primarily on the five-membered ring of the purine structure, and it is demonstrated that this radical could be scavenged by ascorbic acid.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the electrochemical mechanism of NaxFe3(PO4)2(P2O7) (1 ≤ x ≤ 4), which was recently proposed as a promising mixed-polyanion cathode for Na rechargeable batteries, using first principles calculations and experiments.
Abstract: Compounds with a mixed polyanion framework have recently gained attention as a new class of compounds for material exploration. The potential tunability of the structure by using various combinations of polyanions can potentially lead to a novel cathode. However, the redox reaction in complex structures often involves complex structural evolutions during the electrochemical reaction, which require careful analysis. We investigated the electrochemical mechanism of NaxFe3(PO4)2(P2O7) (1 ≤ x ≤ 4), which was recently proposed as a promising mixed-polyanion cathode for Na rechargeable batteries, using first principles calculations and experiments. We discovered that the de/sodiation of the NaxFe3(PO4)2(P2O7) electrode occurs via a one-phase reaction with a reversible Fe2+/Fe3+ redox reaction and accompanies an exceptionally small volumetric change of less than 4%. Na ion intercalation usually induces a large volumetric change in conventional systems; therefore, this small volume change is unusual and was attri...

TL;DR: It is demonstrated via voltammetric and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis that oxygenated species formed at edge plane sites/defects decrease the electron transfer kinetics of ferrocyanide but that the rates for potassium hexachloroiridate(III), hexaammineruthenium(III) chloride and TMPD are insensitive to the oxygenatedspecies.
Abstract: The electron transfer kinetics of ferrocyanide, potassium hexachloroiridate(III), hexaammineruthenium(III) chloride, and N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) have been examined at basal plane and edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes which have been allowed to oxidise in air for various periods of time. It is demonstrated via voltammetric and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis that oxygenated species formed at edge plane sites/defects decrease the electron transfer kinetics of ferrocyanide but that the rates for potassium hexachloroiridate(III), hexaammineruthenium(III) chloride and TMPD are insensitive to the oxygenated species. The behaviour of the ferro-/ferricyanide couple contrasts with that seen on single-walled carbon nanotubes where oxygenation of the tube ends is known to speed up the electron transfer kinetics (A. Chou, T. Bocking, N. K. Singh, J. J. Gooding, Chem. Commun. 2005, 842); the possible reasons for this contrasting behaviour are discussed.
