These structures have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and a detailed formation mechanism has been developed, which shows that the in situ formed 12 and the galvanic replacement reaction between Cu and Pt4, may guide the formation of these superstructures. The comparative electrocatalytic properties have been investigated for methanol and ethanol oxidation. Due to their interconnected arms, sufficient absorption sites, and exposed surfaces, these superstructures exhibit enhanced electrocatalytic performance for electro-oxidation of methanol and ethanol when compared with commercial Pt/C and Pt black.展开更多

One hundred and nineteen samples were obtained to measure the mass concentrations of TSP, PM 10 and PM 2 5 during 15 April to 6 June 2002. According to these results, the TSP, PM 10 and PM 2 5 mass concentrations varied from 53 μg·m -3 (from 26 to 105 μg·m -3 ), 48 μg·m -3 (from 23 to 74 μg·m -3 ) and 41 μg·m -3 (from 18 to 62 μg·m -3 ), respectively. 18 elemental concentrations were determined by ICP MS, most elemental profiles were lower than previous studies. However, high levels of Pb and Zn indicate some pollutants existed in air particulate matter.展开更多
