In this study, we highlight that surface nitrogen-injection engineering brings a high formation rate for CO reduction to formate, which is high level among the reported electrocatalysts. Surface nitrogen-injection engineering can increase the amounts of active sites and optimize the electronic structure simultaneously. Taking an example of SnS precursors, the final-obtained surface N-enriched Sn(S) nanosheets (denoted as N-Sn(S) nanosheets) exhibit a 5-fold of current density and 2.45-fold of Faradaic efficiency than pristine SnS derived Sn(S) nanosheets (denoted as Sn(S) nanosheets). On account of high activity and selectivity, the formation rate of formate is 14 times than that of pristine samples and reaches up to 1358 μmol h cm. Moreover, this strategy is proven to be general to other metal sulfides, such as CuS and InS. We anticipate that surface nitrogen-injection engineering offers new avenues to rational design of advanced electrocatalysts for CO reduction reaction.

Purpose: This study investigated the impact of reducing the oxygen concentration via nitrogen injection during the postcuring process of 3D-printed dental materials.

Materials And Methods: Resin specimens for dental crown and bridge (15-mm diameter, both 1-mm and 2-mm heights) were 3D-printed and rinsed. Subsequently, the postcuring process was conducted on nine groups categorized according to atmospheric conditions within the curing device (20% [control], 10%, and 5% oxygen) and curing times (10, 15, and 20 minutes).

The gas injection parameters such as temperature, pressure and duration during the in-situ pyrolysis of oil shale are important factors that affect the pore evolution and product release characteristics of oil shale. This paper takes Huadian oil shale as a sample, uses pressurized thermogravimetry and pressurized fluidized bed experimental device to explore the influence of temperature, pressure and time on the evolution of pore structure under high-pressure nitrogen injection conditions, and analyzes the influence mechanism of pore structure evolution on the release and kinetic behavior of volatile products. The results show that in the range of 623-673 K, the effective oil recovery of oil shale pyrolysis under high pressure increases from 30.

In order to solve the problems of coal spontaneous combustion, poor inerting effect of traditional nitrogen injection, and waste of resources in goaf, based on the response surface methodology and Box-Behnken combination test principle, the self-developed continuous and precise nitrogen injection and fire-fighting equipment was used to study the best possible combination of nitrogen injection position (20-90 m), nitrogen injection amount (10-70 m/min), and air supply volume (2100-2500 m/min), aiming to minimize the width of the oxidation zone and CO concentration in goaf. The optimal key parameters of continuous precise nitrogen injection were determined as follows: nitrogen injection position 54.17 m, nitrogen injection amount 31.
