  • Patent number: 11432477
    Abstract: A radiator and a plant illumination lamp containing the radiator. The radiator includes a heat-radiating baseplate configured for fixing a heat source, and heat-radiating side plates connected to the heat-radiating baseplate. The heat-radiating side plates each are provided with a plurality of heat-exchanging through grooves running through the heat-radiating side plates. The heat-exchanging through groove forms a heat potential difference, so that under the influence of the heat potential difference, the cold air outside the radiator passes through the heat-exchanging through groove on the heat-radiating side plates, and then flows out through a hot air chamber and an air outlet at an upper end of the hot air chamber after exchanging heat with the heat-exchanging through groove on the heat-radiating side plates, so as to form a strong natural air convection.

  • Patent number: 11351521
    Abstract: A supported core-shell bimetallic catalyst with high selectivity, and preparation method and an application thereof are provided. SBA-15 is used as support, platinum (Pt) is used as active component, 3d transition metal is used as cocatalysts. In the core-shell bimetallic catalyst formed by the 3d transition metal and Pt, in one aspect, by the addition of the 3d metal in the core, the d-band center of surface Pt atoms is down shifted, and the absorption of propylene is weakened, thereby improving the selectivity for propylene. In another aspect, the use of Pt is reduced by the addition of the 3d transition metal, improving the utilization of Pt. The catalyst is applicable in a hydrogen atmosphere, has a good effect on the preparation of propylene by propane dehydrogenation and causes high dehydrogenation activity under high temperature conditions. The total selectivity for propylene may reach 85%, which achieves high propylene selectivity.
