Exploring highly efficient, and low-cost oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is extremely vital for the commercial application of advanced energy storage and conversion devices. Herein, a series of graphene-like C2N supported TMx@C2N, (TM = Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu, x = 1, 2) single- and dual-atom catalysts are designed. Their catalytic performance is systematically evaluated by means of spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT) computations coupled with hydrogen electrode model. Regulating metal atom and pairs can widely tune the catalytic performance. The most promising ORR/OER bifunctional activity can be realized on Cu2@ C2N with lowest overpotential of 0.46 and 0.38 V for ORR and OER, respectively. Ni2@ C2N and Ni@C2N can also exhibit good bifunctional activity through effectively balancing the adsorption strength of intermediates. The correlation of reaction overpotential with adsorption free energy is well established to track the activity and reveal the activity origin, indicating that catalytic activity is intrinsically governed by the adsorption strength of reaction intermediates. The key to achieve high catalytic activity is to effectively balance the adsorption of multiple reactive intermediates by means of the synergetic effect of suitably screened bimetal atoms. Our results also demonstrate that lattice strain can effectively regulate the adsorption free energies of reaction intermediates, regarding it as an efficient strategy to tune ORR/OER activity. This study could provide a significant guidance for the discovery and design of highly active noble-metal-free carbon-based ORR/OER catalysts.

백합 종간 교잡종은 다양한 교배 방법에 의해 생산되어지 고 있다. 그러나 이들 종간 교잡종은 대부분 불임이다. 2n gametes는 백합에서 종간 교잡종 F1의 불임을 극복할 수 있 을 뿐 아니라 우수한 유전형질을 지닌 2n과의 교배에 이용할 수 있고 후대 다양한 유전형질을 기대할 수 있다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 가장 효과적으로 2n gametes를 생산할 수 있는 방법을 구축하기 위하여 백합 Oriental hybrids ‘Medusa’와 ‘Marco Polo’에 N2O를 처리하였다. 같은 Oriental 그룹 내 에서도 ‘Medusa’와 ‘Marco Polo’는 화뢰 크기별 감수분열 시기가 달랐다. 감수분열 tetrad 시기에 염색체를 관찰한 결 과 sequential spindles, tripolar spindles에 의해 2가지 다른 형태가 관찰되었다. ‘Medusa’에서 2atm의 N2O를 처리 한 화뢰 길이 10~15mm와 20~25mm에서 monad, dyad, triad, tetrad가 관찰되었다. 그러나 4atm에서는 tetrad 이외에는 검경 되지 않았다. ‘Marco polo’의 경우 화뢰 길 이 10~15mm, 25~30mm 시기에 2, 4atm의 N2O를 12, 24 시간 동안 처리한 구에서 모두 dyad, triad가 관찰되었다. ‘Medusa’, ‘Marco Polo’ 모두 dyad, triad, tetrad가 관찰 된 시기는 대조구에서 interphase와 metaphase Ⅰ에 해당 하는 시기이다. 화분의 모양은 타원형으로 처리 전·후 변화가 없었으며 처리 후 화분의 크기는 n 보다 큰 화분뿐 아니라 작 은 화분도 관찰되어 전체적으로 다양했다. 화분의 임성과 발 아율은 처리구별로 차이가 없었으나 평균적으로 처리 후가 무처리구보다 임성은 약 10%, 발아는 약 20% 정도 떨어졌다. ‘Medusa’와 ‘Marco Polo’를 이용하여 N2O를 처리한 것과 처리하지 않은 것을 정역 교배하였을 때 자방이 비대 되는 형 태가 2가지이었으나 처리 별 차이는 아니었다. 획득된 식물체 를 Flow cytometry로 검정한 결과, 무처리 ‘Marco Polo’와 2atm 24시간 32mm에 처리한 ‘Medusa’의 교배를 통해 하 나의 식물체에서 2배체와 3배체가 모두 나오는 mixoploid를 확인할 수 있었다. 그 외 실험을 통해 얻은 식물체 중에서 이 수체가 4개 발견되었다. 확실한 3배체를 가진 식물체는 관찰 할 수 없었다.

Green BaSi2O2N2:0.02Eu2+ phosphor is synthesized through a two-step solid state reaction method. The first firing is for crystallization, and the second firing is for reduction of Eu3+ into Eu2+ and growth of crystal grains. By thermal analysis, the three-time endothermic reaction is confirmed: pyrolysis reaction of BaCO3 at 900 oC and phase transitions at 1,300 oC and 1,400 oC. By structural analysis, it is confirmed that single phase [BaSi2O2N2] is obtained with Cmcm space group of orthorhombic structure. After the first firing the morphology is rod-like type and, after the second firing, the morphology becomes round. Our phosphor shows a green emission with a peak position of 495 nm and a peak width of 32 nm due to the 4f65d1→4f7 transition of Eu2+ ion. An LED package (chip size 5.6 x 3.0 mm) is fabricated with a mixture of our green BaSi2O2N2, and yellow Y3Al5O12 and red Sr2Si5N8 phosphors. The color rendering index (90) is higher than that of the mixture without our green phosphor (82), which indicates that this is an excellent green candidate for white LEDs with a deluxe color rendering index.

The nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and its vector insect Monochamus alternatus are major quarantine pests of timber products in Korea. Due to the phaseout of methyl bromide as a fumigant for plant quarantine and pre-shipment treatments, the need for an alternative fumigant is essential. Based on preliminary studies on the efficacy of ethanedinitrile (C2N2) to these two pests, three quarantine trials on logs covered with PVC-tarpaulins were conducted at three dosages and three temperatures potential for inhalation exposure was assessed by monitoring atmospheric levels of C2N2 in relation to the threshold limit value (TLV, 10 ppm, v/v). Concentration × time products (Ct) of 398.6, 547.2 and 595.9 g h m-3 were obtained for each quarantine trial. A 100% mortality of B. xylophilus and M. alternatus larvae at 23±4°C and 10±4°C occurred with a load factor of pine logs of 46% and at 3±1°C with a load factor of 30%. During all fumigant procedures, atmospheric levels of C2N2 20m downwind from the PVC tarpaulin were below the TLV. During aeration, levels 10 m and 5 m downwind were below the TLV after a maximum of 0.4 h and 1 h, respectively. For the purpose of an emergent quarantine or phytosanitary treatment, specific doses of C2N2 at the temperatures that occurred during fumigation could control B. xylophilus and M. alternatus larvae without significant inhalation risk to workers.

CO2 capture technologies have been highlighted over the past decades because of global warming. Among the various technologies for CO2 capture, facilitated CO2 transport membranes show high CO2 selective performance by introducing carrier which interacts with CO2. In this presentation, we prepared and investigated facilitated CO2 transport membrane comprising potassium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonylimide] (TF2N) dissolved in a polymer matrix of Pebax1657. Adding potassium salt to the membrane shows further improvement in gas permeabilities while maintaining or even improving the gas selectivity, compared to the corresponding neat polymer membrane. Therefore, we have demonstrated that KTF2N can act as dual carrier for CO2 and its facilitated transport membrane could be very effective in enhancing the CO2 separation performance.

We have synthesized bluish-green, highly-efficient BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ and (Ba,Sr)Si2O2N2:Eu2+ phosphors through aconventional solid state reaction method using metal carbonate, Si3N4, and Eu2O3 as raw materials. The X-ray diffraction (XRD)pattern of these phosphors revealed that a BaSi2O2N2 single phase was obtained. The excitation and emission spectra showedtypical broadband excitation and emission resulting from the 5d to 4f transition of Eu2+. These phosphors absorb blue light ataround 450nm and emit bluish-green luminescence, with a peak wavelength at around 495 nm. From the results of anexperiment involving Eu concentration quenching, the relative PL intensity was reduced dramatically for Eu=0.033. A smallsubstitution of Sr in place of Ba increased the relative emission intensity of the phosphor. We prepared several white LEDsthrough a combination of BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+, YAG:Ce3+, and silicone resin with a blue InGaN-based LED. In the case of onlythe YAG:Ce3+-converted LED, the color rendering index was 73.4 and the efficiency was 127lm/W. In contrast, in theYAG:Ce3+ and BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+-converted LED, two distinct emission bands from InGaN (450nm) and the two phosphors (475-750nm) are observed, and combine to give a spectrum that appears white to the naked eye. The range of the color renderingindex and the efficiency were 79.7-81.2 and 117-128 lm/W, respectively. The increased values of the color rendering indexindicate that the two phosphor-converted LEDs have improved bluish-green emission compared to the YAG:Ce-converted LED.As such, the BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ phosphor is applicable to white high-rendered LEDs for solid state lighting.
