One-step synthesis of Co2P/N-P co-doped porous carbon composites derived from soybean derivatives as acidic and alkaline HER electrocatalysts

Developing inexpensive and efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in both acidic and alkaline mediums is of great significance to the hydrogen energy industry. Hereby, we prepared a mixture of precursors with homogeneous composition by using the chelating ability of soybean protein isolate (C and N source) and phytic acid (dopant and phosphating agent) with cobalt ions, and achieved one-step synthesis and construction of Co₂P/N–P co-doped porous carbon composite by carbonization at 800 °C. The as-synthesized Co₂P/NPPC-800 electrocatalyst exhibits low HER overpotentials of 121 and 125 mV at 10 mA cm^?2 in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ and 1.0 M KOH, which are close to those of the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Additionally, the NPPC substrate surrounding the Co₂P could diminish the corrosion during the HER, and Co₂P/NPPC-800 displays good stability and durability. Furthermore, this work offers a convenient synthesis strategy for phosphide/doped porous carbon composites in other electrochemical energy technologies.     

Rheological phase reaction synthesis and electrochemical performance of LiFe2/3Mn1/3PO4/C cathode for lithium-ion batteries

LiFe_2/3Mn_1/3PO₄/C composite was prepared by the rheological phase reaction using LiH₂PO₄, Li₂CO₃, FePO₄, Mn(Ac)₂·4H₂O and ascorbic acid as starting materials. The crystal structure and morphology of as-synthesized sample were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The analysis of XRD results showed that the obtained sample was single-phase with orthorhombic olivine-type structure (Pnma space group). SEM micrographs revealed that the sample was aggregates, with an irregular morphology. The initial discharge capacity was 166.9, 149.1, 139.6, 112.8, 82.93 mAh g^??1 at the rate of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, and 10 C, respectively. And when the rate was 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, and 10 C, the capacity retention was 92.2%, 90%, 92.9%, 97.6%, 91.5% after 50, 100, 200, 200, 500 cycles, respectively.

     

The p-n heterojunction constructed by NiMnO3 nanoparticles and Ni3S4 to promote charge separation and efficient catalytic hydrogen evolution

Using sunlight to catalyze water to produce H₂ is a key technology to solve the problem of energy shortage. In this research, perovskite-type NiMnO₃ and Ni₃S₄ was recombined through secondary hydrothermal treatment. The optimal hydrogen evolution for composite materials NiMnO₃/Ni₃S₄is 3.76 μmol mg^?1 h^?1, that 3.7 and 4 times more than that of two monomer materials, respectively. After four cycles of catalytic experiments, proving the high efficiency and stability of the composite catalyst. The characteristics of fluorescence spectroscopy and electrochemistry have confirmed the existence of p-n heterostructures, the excellent catalytic performance is related to the built-in electric field (accelerating the separation and utilization of photocharges) generated by the combination of NiMnO₃ and Ni₃S₄. Strengthening the performance of the catalyst by constructing a heterostructure is an effective modification strategy and has positive application value in the fields of sensors and optoelectronics.

Ni-Foam Structured Ni-Phyllosilicate Ensemble as an Efficient Monolithic Catalyst for CO2 Methanation

This work proposed a new path to synthesize Ni-phyllosilicate through the reaction of nickel hydroxide and silica sol on the surface of Ni-foam to form the monolithic Ni-phyllosilicate/Ni-foam catalyst. Ni-phyllosilicate could reprint the morphology of nickel hydroxid and firmly anchor on the framework of Ni-foam, which obtained fine Ni particles of 2.8 nm after reduction in H₂ at 650 °C, resulting in high catalytic activity for CO₂ methanation. In addition, the Ni-phyllosilicate/Ni-foam catalyst showed high long-term stability in a 100 h-lifetime test owing to the combined effects of surface confinement of Ni-phyllosilicate, firm anchoring between Ni-phyllosilicate and Ni-foam, as well as the high heat transfer property of Ni-foam.

Fabrication of dense Al2O3-FeAl composites by using solid-state sintering

Highly densified alumina-iron aluminide (Al₂O₃-FeAl) composites consisting of ubiquitous elements were fabricated by using pulse current sintering technique under a certain uni-axial pressure. The solid-state sintering without melting FeAl was the highlight in this study. The mechanical properties of the Al₂O₃-FeAl composites were much greater than previously reported ones fabricated by reaction sintering technique. The poor wettability of FeAl against Al₂O₃ strongly influenced the mechanical properties and made it difficult to be highly densified Al₂O₃-FeAl composites by liquid phase sintering especially when volume fraction of FeAl to Al₂O₃-FeAl was high (>30.5 vol%). However, highly densified Al₂O₃-FeAl composites were obtained by solid-state sintering with control of Al₂O₃ grain size and sintering temperatures. It was concluded that highly controlled powder metallurgy made it possible to fabricate dense ceramic-metal (intermetallic) composites from the combination of materials having poor wettability.     

Enhanced tribological behaviors of sintered polycrystalline diamond by annealing treatment under humid condition

The tribological behaviors of the 700 °C annealed sintered polycrystalline diamond (PCD) at various relative humidity (RH) levels were systematically investigated. The comparison of tribological behaviors between the 700 °C annealed PCD and the pristine PCD was made to further understand the tribological mechanisms. The results reveal that the friction inducing carbonaceous transfer film and oxidation and hydrolysis induced tribochemistry reaction dominant the tribological behaviors of the annealed PCD at various RH levels. The low coefficient of friction (COF) obtained in dry environments is attributed to carbonaceous transfer film on the worn Si₃N₄ surface, which was formed by the layers shearing action of massive tiny diamond grains exfoliated from the annealed PCD surface. The graphitization, oxidation and stress relaxation of the PCD induced by the 700 °C annealing treatment make the tiny diamond grains more easily to exfoliate and be grinded on the Si₃N₄ interface. It facilitates the formation of friction reducing carbonaceous transfer film, and finally results in the 30% lower COFs than those of pristine PCD at low RH levels (5%–50% RH). Meanwhile, an enhanced wear resistance of PCD can be achieved after 700 °C annealing treatment. The tribochemistry reaction induced by the oxidation and hydrolysis of Si₃N₄ governs the tribological behaviors of the annealed PCD at high RH levels (60%–99.9% RH). It reveals higher COFs accompanied with serious wear of Si₃N₄ ball and nearly no wear loss of annealed PCD. The produced SiO₂ and silicic acid embeds into massive spalling pits on the annealed PCD surface, resulting in slighter wear of the PCD and Si₃N₄ than that of the pristine PCD/Si₃N₄. These results propose that the tribological behaviors of PCD under humid environment can be significantly improved by the 700 °C annealing treatment.
