Selective response is the key index to evaluate the performance of polymeric carbon nitride (PCN)-based heavy metal ion fluorescence sensors. Herein, to explore the role of cyano groups on selectivity, four kinds of PCN, including PCN-Cl, PCN-Ac, PCN-B and PCN-K were prepared by the molten salt method of sodium chloride and sodium acetate, the reduction method of sodium borohydride and the etching method of potassium hydroxide, respectively. These PCNs exhibited different surface cyano characteristics, but all of them had significant blue emission under ultraviolet excitation.

A series of Co-V-O (meta-CoV2O6, pyro-Co2 V2 O7, and ortho-Co3 V2 O8) catalysts were prepared by microwave oxalate co-precipitation method and characterized by (XRD), TEM, BET, FTIR, XPS, H2-TPR and conductivity measurement. The catalytic characters of the catalysts for propane oxidative dehydrogenation were investigated. The FTIR spectra of catalysts were obtained in the range of 400-1 100 cm(-1) and their major bands were assigned.

Ni3V2O8 catalyst was prepared by oxalate co-precipitation method with microwave heating in this paper. In order to study the relationship between the catalytic performance and the surface species, the catalyst was characterized by XRD, BET, H2-TPR, XPS, TEM and conductivity measurement. The surface property of Ni3V2O8 was studied by XPS and the catalytic performance of the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propylene was also investigated.
