Challenges in band alignment between semiconducting materials:A case of rutile and anatase TiO_2

This topical review focuses on the recently active debate on the band alignment between two polymorphs of TiO_2,rutile and anatase.A summary is given to the popular methods for measurement and calculation of band alignment between materials.We point out,through examination of recently experimental and theoretical reports,that the outstanding discrepancy in the band alignment between two Ti02 phases is attributed to factors that influence band alignment rather than needs a definite answer of which band alignment is right.According to an important factor,the presence of an interface,a new classification of band alignment is proposed as the coupled and intrinsic band alignments.This classification indeed reveals that the rutile/anatase interface can qualitatively change the type of their band alignment.However,further systematic information of the interface and other factors that influence band alignment will be needed to better understand changes in energy bands of materials.The results obtained from discussion of the band alignment between rutile and anatase may also work for the band alignment between other semiconductors.     

二氧化硅负载五氧化二钒合成、表征和催化性能研究

在以丙酮为溶剂、以V2O5/SiO2为催化剂、8-羟基喹啉为助剂的催化条件下,以过氧化氢水溶液为氧化剂,对环己烯催化氧化制备环己烯酮的催化反应体系进行了研究。考察了V2O5的负载量以及8-羟基喹啉的用量及反应温度对环己烯氧化反应的影响,发现适当的负载量有利于V2O5催化性能的提高。结果表明,当V2O5负载量(质量分数)为5%、催化剂的量和8-羟基喹啉的质量相等、反应温度为30℃时环己烯的转化率和环己烯酮的选择性较好。这源于V2O5高度分散于SiO2载体上,增大了活性组分V2O5的表面积,从而增加了其活性中心的个数及活性组分与反应物的接触面积,从而增加了催化活性。     

Na(THF)2(μ2-η5-Cp)(η5,η5,η1-Cp3Yb)(THF)]n: The synthesis and X-ray structure of an anionic organolanthanidepolymer formed via self-assembly

Cp2Yb·2THF reacts with CpNa in 1：1 molar ratio in THF at 40℃ for 2 h, and the in situ generated anionic divalent complex NaYbCp3（THF）n reacts further with an excess of CpH at 40℃ for 48h, after work-up, affording the trivalent anionic ytterbium complex[Na（THF）2（μ2-η^5-Cp） （η^5, η^5,η^1-Cp3Yb）（THF）]n：（1） by oxidation reaction of Cp2Yb with CpH. Crystal structure determination reveals that complex 1 has one-dimension polymeric chains of distinct Na（THF）2（μ2-η^5-Cp） （η^5, η^5,η^1-Cp3Yb）（THF） units, which were formed by the coordination of the bridging Cp ligand with Cp3Yb＇THF and Na（THF）2 in η^5,η^5 mode via self-assembly.
