电动自行车用VRLA蓄电池负极边板减重的试验研究

从理论上说,VRLA蓄电池工作时每个极群的负极边板只有朝正板的一面参加充/放电反应,朝外的一面仅起部分氧复合的作用[1],因此负极边板的利用率较低,所以试探通过减少最外两片负极板用膏量的方法,来降低铅膏使用量,从而达到节约成本的目的。

Wall friction and effective viscosity of a homogeneous dispersed liquid–liquid flow in a horizontal pipe

Homogenous oil in water dispersion has been investigated in a horizontal pipe. The mean droplet size is 25 μm. Experiments were carried out in a 7.5‐m‐long transparent pipe of 50‐mm internal diameter. The wall friction has been measured and modeled for a wide range of flow parameters, mixture velocities ranging from 0.28 to 1.2 m/s, and dispersed phase volume fractions up to 0.6, including turbulent, intermediate, and laminar regimes. Flow regimes have been identified from velocity profiles measured by particle image velocimetry in a matched refractive index medium. It is shown that the concept of effective viscosity is relevant to scale the friction at the wall of the dispersed flow. Based on mixture properties, the friction factor follows the Hagen‐Poiseuille and the Blasius' law in laminar and turbulent regimes, respectively. Interestingly, the transition toward turbulence is delayed as the dispersed phase fraction is increased. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2011     

Electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen at glassy carbon electrode modified by polypyrrole/anthraquinones composite film in various pH media

The electrocatalytic reduction of dioxygen by one mono and four dihydroxy derivatives of 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ) incorporated in polypyrrole (PPy) matrix on glassy carbon electrode has been investigated. The electrochemical behaviour of the modified electrodes was examined in various pH media and both the formal potential of anthraquinones and reduction potential of dioxygen exhibited pH dependence. AQ and PPy composite film showed excellent electrocatalytic performance for the reduction of O₂ to H₂O₂. pH 6.0 was chosen as the most suitable medium to study the electrocatalysis by comparing the peak potential of oxygen reduction and enhancement in peak current for oxygen reduction. The diffusion coefficient values of AQ at the modified electrodes and the number of electrons involved in AQ reduction were evaluated by chronoamperometric and chronocoulometric techniques, respectively. In addition, hydrodynamic voltammetric studies showed the involvement of two electrons in O₂ reduction. The mass specific activity of AQ used, the diffusion coefficient of oxygen and the heterogeneous rate constants for the oxygen reduction at the surface of modified electrodes were also determined by rotating disk voltammetry.     

Fe-based catalysts for oxygen reduction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells with cyanamide as nitrogen precursor and/or pore-filler

Fe/N/C catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction were synthesized via impregnation or ballmilling. The role of cyanamide (CM) as nitrogen precursor and/or pore-filler for a highly microporous carbon (Black Pearls 2000) was investigated. The use of CM in this work resulted in two main differences compared with phenanthroline from our previous work; (i) ballmilling the precursors did not result in improved activity of the resulting catalysts, and (ii) the activity after the first pyrolysis in argon was relatively high, but did not increase after a second pyrolysis in NH₃. These differences may be explained by TGA measurements of both pore-fillers, where complete gasification of CM is observed at temperatures above 750 °C in Ar, while pyrolysis of phenanthroline in Ar results in 20 wt% residual carbon-based material. Consequently, when using CM as pore-filler with a highly microporous carbon support, the maximum microporous surface area and nitrogen content is reached after only a single pyrolysis in Ar. The most active catalyst prepared with CM was obtained by pyrolysing in Ar at 950 °C a catalyst precursor containing 1 wt% Fe, 80 wt% CM and Black Pearls 2000. This catalyst possessed about 1/6th the catalytic activity of best reported using phenanthroline as a pore-filler. Changing the carbon support had effects on the activity and stability of the catalysts. The catalysts made with a non-porous furnace black (N330) or carbon nanotubes as a carbon support were more stable but less performing than those using carbon supports having high microporous surface area like Black Pearls 2000 or Ketjenblack. The desirable properties for a pore-filler molecule used in the synthesis of Fe/N/C-catalysts by the pore-filling method are discussed.     

The effect of pH on oxygen and hydrogen peroxide reduction on polycrystalline Pt electrode

Oxygen reduction (ORR) and hydrogen peroxide reduction (HPRR) reactions were studied on polycrystalline Pt by the rotating disc electrode technique in sulphate solutions over the entire pH range. Initial potentials for both ORR and HPRR coincide with the potential region of PtOH formation and shift negatively with the increase of the pH of the solution. For pHs lower than 3.0 and higher than 10.0, the ORR takes place through 4e-series pathways from acid and alkaline solutions, respectively. For 3.0 < pH < 6.0, the overall number of electrons exchanged depends on the potential and falls below 4 for ORR and below two for HPRR. This indicates that both reactions occur in a limited extent due to the changes of the local pH in the course of these reactions which gives rise to the double wave in the polarization curves (as observed for ORR for pH 3.5 and pH 4.0 and for HPRR for pH 4.0). The change of the Tafel slopes with potential indicate the change in reaction pathway from one that takes place in acid – to one that takes place in alkaline solution.     

Reconsideration of the quantitative characterization of the reaction intermediate on electrocatalysts by a rotating ring-disk electrode: The intrinsic yield of H2O2 on Pt/C

To solve the problem of the catalyst-loading-effect on quantifying the reaction intermediates on the surface of electrocatalysts with a rotating ring-disk electrode, we studied the formation of hydrogen peroxide in the oxygen reduction reaction on Pt/C with various sample loadings and then proposed an extrapolation model for measuring the intrinsic yield of H₂O₂, which can quantitatively reflect the characteristics of the surface of a given catalyst. In the extrapolation model, the catalyst loading effect can be compensated by taking the catalyst loading-dependent probability of the re-adsorption + further reaction of the desorbed H₂O₂ into consideration. The core concept in this extrapolation model is that the probability of the re-adsorption + reaction of the desorbed H₂O₂ becomes zero if there is no other active site available (i.e., at the extrapolated hypothetical point of zero catalyst loading) for re-adsorption of the desorbed H₂O₂. The intrinsic yield of H₂O₂ by extrapolation was much higher than that measured by the conventional model, in which the re-adsorption + reaction of the desorbed H₂O₂ is not considered, and thus the catalyst loading-dependent apparent yield of H₂O₂ does not properly reflect the intrinsic characteristics of the surface of a given catalyst.
