Synthesis of an yttrium-modified bulk Ni2P catalyst with high hydrodesulfurization activity

Yttrium-modified bulk Ni₂P (Y_xNi₂P) catalysts showing high hydrodesulfurization (HDS) activity are described. The incorporation of Y into the bulk Ni₂P catalyst can suppress the formation of the Ni₅P₄ phase and therefore promote formation of the more active Ni₂P phase. Y can also greatly increase the surface area of the catalyst, leading to a smaller crystallite size and better dispersion of active Ni₂P particles. The obtained Y_xNi₂P catalysts show much higher Dibenzothiop (DBT) HDS activity than the bulk Ni₂P catalyst.     

The effect of neodymium content on dibenzothiophene HDS performance over a bulk Ni2P catalyst

Neodymium (Nd)-modified Ni₂P catalysts (Nd_xNi₂P, where x is the molar fraction of Nd to Ni₂P) have been successfully prepared. An appropriate amount of Nd can dramatically increase the surface area and promote the formation of smaller and highly dispersed Ni₂P particles. The Nd_xNi₂P catalyst with x = 0.10 exhibited the highest dibenzothiophene hydrodesulfurization activity of 97.4%, which is an increase of 35% when compared with that found for bulk Ni₂P.     

An adaptive Kriging method with double sampling criteria applied to hydrogen preparation case

Kriging model has been widely used to approximate expensive black-box problems in many engineering design fields. How to choose an appropriate sampling strategy to produce new expensive updated points is crucial. For this purpose, an adaptive Kriging method with double sampling criteria (AKM-DSC) is proposed. During every iteration of it, maximum curvature criterion and maximum variance criterion based on Kriging model are respectively optimized by trust region (TR) strategy to produce two candidate points. And then, a new screening method is used to determine final expensive-evaluation points from the two candidates. The proposed method is compared with the two typical Kriging modeling methods. The comparison results of seventeen benchmark functions verify that the proposed method can generate higher accuracy Kriging model. Finally, a hydrogen preparation case illustrates the engineering application value of the AKM-DSC method.     

Effect of Al Content on the Isomerization Performance of Solid Superacid Pd–S2O82−/ZrO2 –Al2O3

The effect of Al content on the performance of the Pd–S₂O₈²⁻/ZrO₂ –Al₂O₃ solid superacid catalyst was studied using n-pentane isomerization as a probe reaction. The catalysts were also characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR), specific surface area measurements (BET), thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA), H₂-temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and NH₃ temperature-programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD). The Pd–S₂O₈²⁻/ZrO₂ –Al₂O₃ catalyst made from Al₂O₃ mass fraction of 2.5% exhibited the best performance and its catalytic activity increased by 44.0% compared with Pd–S₂O₈²⁻/ZrO₂. The isopentane yield reached 64.3% at a temperature of 238 °C, a reaction pressure of 2.0 MPa, a space velocity of 1.0 h ^− 1 and a H₂/n-pentane molar ratio of 4.0. No obvious catalyst deactivation was observed within 100 h.     

Effect of graphene on the performance of nickel foam-based CoNi nanosheet anode catalyzed direct urea-hydrogen peroxide fuel cell

The highly porous electrode of a crisscrossed CoNi nanosheets array grown on reduced graphene oxide decorated Ni foam (CoNi/rGO@Ni foam) is fabricated through a facile dip and dry method followed by electroreduction and electrodeposition methods. The phase composition and morphology of the electrode are characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and EDS. In single electrode tests, CoNi/rGO@Ni foam electrode displays an excellent catalytic performance (330 mA cm⁻² at 0.6 V) and stability towards urea electrooxidation when comparing to Ni foam and CoNi nanosheets modified Ni foam (CoNi@Ni foam) electrode. Besides, a low initial oxidation potential of urea electro-oxidation to 0.14 V is achieved on the CoNi/rGO@Ni foam electrode. The introducing of rGO to the electrode greatly reduced the reaction activation energy from 14.47 to 10.35 kJ mol⁻¹. Besides, large active surface area (261.67 cm²) is also obtained from the electrode. The CoNi/rGO@Ni foam anode exhibits a maximum power density of 12.58 mW cm⁻² in direct urea-hydrogen peroxide fuel cell tests. Excellent performance shows in single electrode tests and fuel cell tests suggest that addition of rGO to the electrode is an easy and feasible method to enhance the performance of the catalyst.     

Flexible rewritable organic memory devices using nitrogen-doped CNTs/PEDOT:PSS composites

Nonvolatile rewritable organic memory devices based on poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and nitrogen doped multi-walled carbon nanotube (NCNT) nanocomposites were fabricated on glass and PET substrates.Organic memory devices with bistable resistive switching were obtained using very low NCTN concentration (∼0.002 wt%) in the polymeric matrix. The memory devices exhibited a good ON/OFF ratio of approximately three orders of magnitude, a good retention time of 10⁴ s under operating voltages ≤ |4V| and a few hundredths of write-read-erase-read cycles. The bistable resistive switching is mainly attributed to the creation of oxygen vacancies. These defects are introduced into the thin native Al oxide (AlOx) layer on the bottom electrode during the first voltage sweep. The well-dispersed NCNTs immersed in PEDOT:PSS play a key role as conductive channels for the electronic transport, hindering the electron trapping at the AlOx-polymer interface and inducing a soft dielectric breakdown of the AlOx layer. These PEDOT:PSS + NCNTs memory devices are to easy to apply in flexible low-cost technology and provide the possibility of large-scale integration.     

Enhanced performance of direct peroxide–peroxide fuel cells by employing three-dimensional Ni and Co@TiC nanoarrays anodes

Thorn-like Ni@TiC NAs and flake-like Co@TiC NAs electrodes without any conductive agent and binder are simply fabricated by the potentiostatic electrodeposition of Ni and Co catalysts on the TiC nanowire arrays (NAs). The electrocatalytic activity of H₂O₂ oxidation on the Ni@TiC NAs electrodes is better than that on the Co@TiC NAs electrodes. The Ni@TiC NAs electrodes demonstrate a rough surface and have many nano-needles on the rod edges, which assures the high utilized efficiency of Ni catalysts. These particular three-dimensional structures may be very suitable for H₂O₂ electrooxidation. The anodic current of Ni@TiC NAs anode reaches 0.32 A cm^?2 at 0.3 V in 1.0 M H₂O₂ + 4 M KOH solution. The DPFCs employing Ni@TiC NAs anodes display the peak power density of 30.2 mW cm^?2 and open circuit voltage of 0.90 V at 85.1 mA cm^?2 with desirable cell stability at 10 mL min^?1 flow rate and 20 °C, which is much higher than those previously reported.
