Top-down synthesis of sponge-like Mn₃O₄ at low temperature.

ABSTRACT: A top-down synthetic method was developed for the fabrication of sponge-like Mn₃O₄ composed of Mn₃O₄ nanocrystals by decomposition of manganese formate at 200 °C. The samples were characterized in terms of their structural and morphological properties by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) studies. TEM and SEM images showed that the morphology of sponge-like Mn₃O₄ structures was mostly retained from the morphology of the manganese formate precursor, which was controlled by the solvothermal process. Large sponge-like Mn₃O₄ structures exhibiting crystallographic symmetry were prepared under solvothermal treatment for a long time. The XRD pattern showed that the Mn₃O₄ exhibit a tetragonal hausmannite structure. The results of N₂ adsorption analysis indicated that the sponge-like Mn₃O₄ nanostructures possess high surface area. The possible formation mechanism of Mn₃O₄ nanostructures has been discussed.

Project description:The effects of temperature on the control of respiration rate, phosphorylation rate, proton leakage rate, the protonmotive force and the effective ATP/O ratio were determined in isolated rat liver mitochondria over a range of respiratory conditions by applying top-down elasticity and control analyses. Simultaneous measurements of membrane potential, oxidation and phosphorylation rates were performed under various ATP turnover rates, ranging from state 4 to state 3. Although the activities of the three subsystems decreased with temperature (over 30-fold between 37 and 4 degrees C), the effective ATP/O ratio exhibited a maximum at 25 degrees C, far below the physiological value. Top-down elasticity analysis revealed that maximal membrane potential was maintained over the range of temperature studied, and that the proton leakage rate was considerably reduced at 4 degrees C. These results definitely rule out a possible uncoupling of mitochondria at low temperature. At 4 degrees C, the decrease in ATP/O ratio is explained by the relative decrease in phosphorylation processes revealed by the decrease in depolarization after ADP addition [Diolez and Moreau (1985) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 806, 56-63]. The change in depolarization between 37 and 25 degrees C was too small to explain the decrease in ATP/O ratio. This result is best explained by the changes in the elasticity of proton leakage to membrane potential between 37 and 25 degrees C, leading to a higher leak rate at 37 degrees C for the same value of membrane potential. Top-down control analysis showed that despite the important changes in activities of the three subsystems between 37 and 25 degrees C, the patterns of the control distribution are very similar. However, a different pattern was obtained at 4 degrees C under all phosphorylating conditions. Surprisingly, control by the proton leakage subsystem was almost unchanged, although both control patterns by substrate oxidation and phosphorylation subsystems were affected at 4 degrees C. In comparison with results for 25 and 37 degrees C, at 4 degrees C there was evidence for increased control by the phosphorylation subsystem over both fluxes of oxidation and phosphorylation as well as on the ATP/O ratio when the system is close to state 3. However, the pattern of control coefficients as a function of mitochondrial activity also showed enhanced control exerted by the substrate oxidation subsystem under all intermediate conditions. These results suggest that passive membrane permeability to protons is not involved in the effect of temperature on the control of oxidative phosphorylation.

Project description:The group has shown that Baiyun Ebo rare earth concentrate has excellent performance in NH3-SCR denitrification when used as a carrier, where rare earth elements are mainly present in cerium fluorocarbon ore (CeCO3F) and monazite (CePO4) mineral phases. In this paper, a new low-temperature NH3-SCR catalyst of Mn-Fe/CeCO3F-monazite was prepared by an impregnation method, using synthetic CeCO3F and purified monazite as carriers. By exploring its denitrification performance and mechanistic analysis, it provides theoretical guidance for the use of rare earth concentrates as low-temperature NH3-SCR catalysts. Our previous studies have determined the optimum loading of Fe, so this paper needs to be investigated for the optimum doping ratio of the active substance Mn. The results of the activity tests, XRD and BET have determined that the best denitrification rate and catalytic performance was achieved at a ratio of Mn : Ce of 1 : 5. The denitrification activity of the different catalysts was investigated by loading Fe, Mn and Fe and Mn together. The results obtained by means of experimental analyses such as XRD, SEM, BET and activity tests showed that the composite catalyst loaded with Fe and Mn at the same time, had the highest activity and its denitrification rate could reach 94.8% at 250 °C. This is mainly attributed to the fact that the interaction of Fe, Mn can promote the dispersion of each other on the carrier surface, which greatly improves the specific surface area of the catalyst. The introduction of Fe and Mn increases the acidic sites and the amount of acid on the catalyst surface, which results in the formation of a large number of oxygen vacancies and the presence of more oxygen species on the catalyst surface, which facilitate the migration of oxygen. The new catalyst was investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to characterise the adsorption and transformation behaviour of the reactive species on the surface of the catalyst, and to investigate the reaction mechanism. The results showed that the entire reaction process followed the L-H mechanism, with the gaseous NO adsorption and activation on the catalyst surface generating bidentate nitrate, bridging nitrate species and NH3/NH4 + species as the main intermediate species involved in the reaction, both of which underwent redox reactions on the catalyst surface to produce N2 and H2O. The above results indicated that the CeCO3F-monazite carrier has excellent performance, and provided a theoretical basis for the high-value utilization of rare earth concentrates.
