Highly stable nanocarbon supported Pt catalyst for fuel cell via a molten salt graphitization strategy

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) durability has been severely hindered by carbon support poor stability in the cathodic Pt-based catalyst. Herein, a high-surface-area nitrogen-doped graphitic nanocarbon (N-G-CA) with mesopores is developed as Pt support to address PEMFCs durability challenge. Resorcinol-formaldehyde aerogel pyrolyzed carbon aerogel is selected as N-G-CA raw material. Nitrogen atoms are introduced into carbon aerogel via NH₃ heat treatment. Then, nitrogen-doped carbon aerogel is transferred into N-G-CA via heating together with transition-metal salts (one of FeCl₃, FeCl₂, CoCl₂, or MnCl₂, etc.) at 1200 °C. As ORR catalyst, Pt/N-G-CA half-wave potential only lost 10 mV, after 30, 000 cycles accelerated aging test in the rotating-desk-electrode. Only 12 mV voltage loss at 1.5 A/cm2 is observed, after 5, 000 cycles for membrane electrode. Pt/N-G-CA exhibits superior durability and activity than commercial Pt/C. High durability of Pt/N-G-CA is due to N-G-CA high graphitization extent, as well as the interactions between doping nitrogen and Pt. N-G-CA is promising as stable support for durable Pt-based catalysts in PEMFCs, thanks to enhanced carbon corrosion resistance, uniformly dispersed Pt, and strong support-metals interaction.     

The superlattice structure and self-adaptive performance of C–Ti/MoS2 composite coatings

To improve the self-adaptability of MoS₂ coating in different environments, the coatings were doped with functional C and Ti by unbalanced magnetron sputtering system. The clear superlattice structure with minimal modulation period was investigated by High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM). The co-doped coatings have better mechanical properties due to the special structure and the formation of C–Mo, Ti–S and Ti–O bonds, and better lubrication performance in both high humidity and vacuum than those of the single-doped ones. The doped Ti not only facilitates the formation of the MoS₂ (002) basal plane, but also improves the oxidation resistance of the composite film. The degree of friction-induced graphitization on the wear tracks and the quality of transfer films on the wear scars are key factors affecting the lubrication performance of the composite film. In the high-humidity environment, the reasonable doping elements can promote the formation the high-quality transfer film by interacting with H₂O water molecules, which will benefit the lubrication of the coating better. Our findings deepen the understanding of MoS₂ composite coating and provide a new solution for improving the self-adaptability of the coating.

Evolution with heat treatment of crystallinity in carbons

The variation with heat treatment of the dimensions L_a and L_c of the graphite-like crystallites of graphitizable and non-graphitizable carbons is studied. The increases of L_a and L_c with heat treatment temperature (HTT) owing to three processes (crystallite growth in-plane, coalescence of crystallites along the c-axis and coalescence of crystallites along the a-axis) are functionally separated. The evolution with HTT of the number of crystallites (N_cr), the mean volume of the crystallites (v_cr) and the total volume occupied by the crystallites (V_cr) are determined in terms of the changes of L_a, L_c and d₀₀₂. Since among other characteristics the crystallites form the electrical and thermal conducting phase of the carbon, N_cr, v_cr and V_cr are important parameters in many physical properties of these materials. The developed expressions were applied to a non-graphitizable and to a graphitizable carbon.

Effects of iron catalyst on the formation of crystalline domain during carbonization of electrospun acrylic nanofiber

To investigate the effects of introducing the iron compound on the carbonization behavior polyacrylonitile (PAN)-based electrospun nanofibers were carbonized with or without iron(III) acetylacetonate (AAI) over the temperature range of 900–1500 °C in nitrogen atmosphere. The morphological characteristics of the carbon nanofibers were investigated using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The electrical conductivity of the carbon nanofiber web was measured by four-point probe method. The iron catalyst had a profound effect on the crystal structure of the carbonized nanofiber. In the presence of AAI the nanofibers carbonized at 1300 °C developed graphite structure, which could be obtained at the temperature higher than 2000 °C in the absence of the catalyst. The in-plane size of the graphite crystals (L_a) was measured to be about 6.5 nm by Raman spectroscopy and the (0 0 2) spacing by XRD was 0.341 nm.
