白金微粒/Ru錯合物/高分子薄磨修飾電極之製備及其電催化應用
[[abstract]]Membrane-metal modified cells are usually applied to the field of membrane cells, such as fuel cells, light cells… etc. Some hydrogen evolution catalysts, for example Pt metal, are used as the cathodes in these cells. Therefore, in this research, we try to dose a series of Ru complexes into the intervals between the cathode and the thin film electrode to improve the hydrogen evolution efficiency of the membrane-metal modified cells.
Ru complex (chosen from Ru(bpy)2phenNH2, Ru(dmb)2 phenNH2, Ru(tmb)2phenNH2, Ru(bpy)2Cl2, Ru(dmb)2Cl2, Ru(tmb)2Cl2) doped Nafion solution was drop-coated onto glassy carbon (GC) electrode and formed a thin film after drying. Then, the GC electrode was immersed into H2PtCl6 solution, and the Pt/Ru complex/polymer modified electrode was obtained by reducing Pt with a DPTB method. Different amount of Pt was electroplated on the GC electrode even at the same conditions (the same potential, the same time interval) when different consistency or kinds of Ru complexes were used, suggesting the influence of the ligands on the red-ox property of Ru complexes. The effective surface area (estimated by CV method) of Pt in the modified electrode is also varied with different species of Ru complexes, which in turn affect on the efficiency of hydrogen evolution.
Furthermore, from the information obtained by SEM and EDS, the alignment and the density of Pt particles growing on the GC electrode are figured out. From the fluorescence lifetime and luminescence spectra, a good electron-transfer is considered to have occurred between D series Ru complexes and Pt modified electrode that explained why a high hydrogen evolution efficiency has been obtained. The modified electrodes are still stable one month after fabricated and their hydrogen evolution efficiency was as good as a newly prepared one.
The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
This thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour
