By using solution combustion synthesis method, several Li-Co delafossite catalysts were prepared via a highly exothermic and self-sustaining reaction. The prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM and the catalytic activities of the catalysts were evaluated by small sample experiment. It is shown that under loose contact conditions this catalyst can catalyze soot combustion at 360 ℃, and the best prepared catalyst Li Co0.9O2 can ignite soot combustion below 300 ℃. In the incompletely synthesized catalysts the Co cations shift to higher electrovalence, so the number of the surface adsorbed oxygen(O-) of the prepared delafossite catalysts increase and Li Co0.9O2 has the optimum catalytic activity.

Iridium dioxide with different morphologies(nanorod and nanogranular) is successfully prepared by a modified sol-gel and Adams methods. The catalytic activity of both samples for oxygen reduction reaction is investigated in an alkaline solution. The electrochemical results show that the catalytic activity of the nanogranular Ir O2 sample is superior to that of the nanorod sample due to its higher onset potential for oxygen reduction reaction and higher electrode current density in low potential region. The results of Koutecky-Levich analysis indicate that the oxygen reduction reaction catalyzed by both samples is a mixture transfer pathway. It is dominated by four electron transfer pathway for both samples in high overpotential area, while it is controlled by two electron transfer process for both samples in low overpotential area.

In this paper, polyurethane (PU) materials with different contents of hard segment (20%, 25%, 30%) were prepared based on hexamethylene diisocyanate and polycarbonate diols by solution polymerization. The obtained polycarbonate-urethane (PCU) elastomers were characterized by very good hydrophobic property and excellent resistance to hydrolysis. Hemolysis, recalification time and platelet-rich plasma adhesion were used to evaluate the blood compatibility of the materials. L929 cells cultured with leach liquor of these PU membranes were selected to perform the cytotoxicity experiments. The results indicate that the hemolysis rates of PU membranes are all less than 5%, which can meet the requirement of the national standards for biomaterials. However, compared with 20% and 30% groups, the recalification time of the sample containing 25% hard segment is longer, while the number of platelet adhesion is less. Additionally, cells cultured in the leach liquor of PU membranes with 25% hard segment proliferated relatively more thriving, meaning that this proportion of the material has the lowest cytotoxicity.

The production of solar fuels by solar energy conversion is considered to be one of major strategies for solving the global energy and environmental problems in the future. Photocatalytic H2 production by water splitting and photocatalytic hydrocarbon formation by CO2 reduction have become important and promising methods for clean, economical, and renewal production of solar fuels by using solar light. Usually, the photocatalytic H2-production performance on TiO2 is strongly dependent on the type and amount of co-catalyst because bare TiO2 has poor photocatalytic H2-Production activity. It is well-known that the loading of Pt as a co-catalyst on TiO2 significantly enhances H2-production activity for photocatalytic water splitting in the presence of sacrificial reagents. However, Pt is a rare and expensive noble metal. Therefore, alternative co-catalysts based on non-precious metals and earth-abundant materials have been intersively pursued in recent years.

Boron inserted as impurity by substitution of carbon atoms in graphite is known to change (improve or deteriorate) oxidation resistance of nuclear graphite, but the reason for both catalytic and inhibiting oxidation is still uncertain. As a first step, this work is more specially devoted to the adsorption and diffusion of oxygen atoms on the surface and related to the problem of oxygen retention on the pure and boron-containing graphite surfaces. Adsorption energies and energy barriers associated to the diffusion for molecular oxygen recombination are calculated in the density functional theory framework. The existence of boron modifies the electronic structure of the surface, which results in an increase of the adsorption energy for O. However, low boron loading makes it easier for the recombination into molecular oxygen. For high boron concentration, it induces a better O retention capability in graphite because the presence of B-B bonds decreases recombination of the adsorbed oxygen atoms. A possible explanation for both catalytic and inhibiting effects of boron in graphite is proposed.
