The nanosized cobalt-based catalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM and BET techniques. Their catalytic performances were tested in a slurry-bed reactor under FTS reaction conditions. The drying and crystallization were carried out simultaneously during SCFD, therefore, the catalysts prepared by SCFD method have ideal structure and show the FTS performance superior to the others prepared by CD method. The FTS activity and selectivity were improved via adding Zn, Mn and K promoters, and less CH4 and CO2 as well as higher yield of C5＋ products were achieved. The optimal performance of a 92% CO conversion and a 65% C5＋ product yield was obtained over a catalyst with the component of Co/Zn/Mn/K = 100/50/10/7. Furthermore, the catalytic performance was studied under the conditions of liquid-phase and supercritical phase slurry-bed, and C5＋ product yield were 57.4% and 65.4%, respectively. In summary, better catalytic performance was obtained using the nanosized catalyst prepared by SCFD method under supercritical reaction conditions, resulting in higher conversion of CO, less CO2 byproduct, and higher yield of C5＋ products.展开更多

Furthermore, the catalytic performance was studied under the conditions of liquid-phase and supercritical phase slurry-bed, and C5＋ product yield were 57.4% and 65.4%, respectively. In summary, better catalytic performance was obtained using the nanosized catalyst prepared by SCFD method under supercritical reaction conditions, resulting in higher conversion of CO, less CO2 byproduct, and higher yield of C5＋ products.

文摘The widespread use of diesel engines results in significant environmental contamination due to emitted pollutants,particularly soot particles.These pollut-ants are detrimental to public health.At present,one of the most effective ways to remove soot particles is the catalytic diesel particulate filter after-treatment tech-nology,which requires the catalyst to have superior low temperature activity.Compared with cerium oxide which is widely used,cobalt oxide in transition metal oxides has been widely studied in recent years because of its high redox ability and easy to control morphology.This paper elaborates on the influence of modification techniques such as doping,loading,and solid solution on the catalytic performance of cobalt-based catalysts in soot oxidation.Along the same lines,it further reviews the research progress on cobalt-based oxide catalysts with specific dimensional structures and morphologies in soot oxidation.Finally,it provides an outlook on the challenges faced by the theoretical basis and applied research of cobalt-based catalysts in soot oxidation.

文摘Electrochemical water splitting represents a sustainable technology for hydrogen(H_(2))production.However,its large-scale implementation is hindered by the high overpotentials required for both the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and the anodic oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Transition metal-based catalysts have garnered significant research interest as promising alternatives to noble-metal catalysts,owing to their low cost,tunable composition,and noble-metal-like catalytic activity.Nevertheless,systematic reviews on their application as bifunctional catalysts for overall water splitting(OWS)are still limited.This review comprehensively outlines the principal categories of bifunctional transition metal electrocatalysts derived from electrospun nanofibers(NFs),including metals,oxides,phosphides,sulfides,and carbides.Key strategies for enhancing their catalytic performance are systematically summarized,such as heterointerface engineering,heteroatom doping,metal-nonmetal-metal bridging architectures,and single-atom site design.Finally,current challenges and future research directions are discussed,aiming to provide insightful perspectives for the rational design of high-performance electrocatalysts for OWS.

文摘Electrocatalytic nitrate-to-ammonia conversion offers dual environmental and sustainable synthesis benefits,but achieving high efficiency with low-cost catalysts remains a major challenge.This review focuses on cobalt-based electrocatalysts,emphasizing their structural engineering for enhanced the performance of electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction(NO3RR)through dimensional control,compositional tuning,and coordination microenvironment modulation.Notably,by critically analyzing metallic cobalt,cobalt alloys,cobalt compounds,cobalt single atom and molecular catalyst configurations,we firstly establish correlations between atomic-scale structural features and catalytic performance in a coordination environment perspective for NO3RR,including the dynamic reconstruction during operation and its impact on active site.Synergizing experimental breakthroughs with computational modeling,we decode mechanisms underlying competitive hydrogen evolution suppression,intermediate adsorption-energy optimization,and durability enhancement in complex aqueous environments.The development of cobalt-based catalysts was summarized and prospected,and the emerging opportunities of machine learning in accelerating the research and development of high-performance catalysts and the configuration of series reactors for scalable nitrate-to-ammonia systems were also introduced.Bridging surface science and applications,it outlines a framework for designing multifunctional electrocatalysts to restore nitrogen cycle balance sustainably.

文摘To elucidate the effect of calcite-regulated activated carbon(AC)structure on low-temperature denitrification performance of SCR catalysts,this work prepared a series of Mn-Ce/De-AC-xCaCO_(3)(x is the calcite content in coal)catalysts were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method,followed by acid washing to remove calcium-containing minerals.Comprehensive characterization and low-temperature denitrification tests revealed that calcite-induced structural modulation of coal-derived AC significantly enhances catalytic activity.Specifically,NO conversion increased from 88.3%of Mn-Ce/De-AC to 91.7%of Mn-Ce/De-AC-1CaCO_(3)(210℃).The improved SCR denitrification activity results from the enhancement of physicochemical properties including higher Mn^(4+)content and Ce^(4+)/Ce^(3+)ratio,an abundance of chemisorbed oxygen and acidic sites,which could strengthen the SCR reaction pathways(richer NH_(3)activated species and bidentate nitrate active species).Therefore,NO removal is enhanced.

文摘Against the backdrop of escalating global climate change and energy crises,the resource utilization of carbon dioxide(CO_(2)),a major greenhouse gas,has become a crucial pathway for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.The hydrogenation of CO_(2)to methanol not only enables carbon sequestration and recycling,but also provides a route to produce high value-added fuels and basic chemical feedstocks,holding significant environmental and economic potential.However,this conversion process is thermodynamically and kinetically limited,and traditional catalyst systems(e.g.,Cu/ZnO/Al_(2)O_(3))exhibit inadequate activity,selectivity,and stability under mild conditions.Therefore,the development of novel high-performance catalysts with precisely tunable structures and functionalities is imperative.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs),as crystalline porous materials with high surface area,tunable pore structures,and diverse metal-ligand compositions,have the great potential in CO_(2)hydrogenation catalysis.Their structural design flexibility allows for the construction of well-dispersed active sites,tailored electronic environments,and enhanced metal-support interactions.This review systematically summarizes the recent advances in MOF-based and MOF-derived catalysts for CO_(2)hydrogenation to methanol,focusing on four design strategies:(1)spatial confinement and in situ construction,(2)defect engineering and ion-exchange,(3)bimetallic synergy and hybrid structure design,and(4)MOF-derived nanomaterial synthesis.These approaches significantly improve CO_(2)conversion and methanol selectivity by optimizing metal dispersion,interfacial structures,and reaction pathways.The reaction mechanism is further explored by focusing on the three main reaction pathways:the formate pathway(HCOO*),the RWGS(Reverse Water Gas Shift reaction)+CO*hydrogenation pathway,and the trans-COOH pathway.In situ spectroscopic studies and density functional theory(DFT)calculations elucidate the formation and transformation of key intermediates,as well as the roles of active sites,metal-support interfaces,oxygen vacancies,and promoters.Additionally,representative catalytic performance data for MOFbased systems are compiled and compared,demonstrating their advantages over traditional catalysts in terms of CO_(2)conversion,methanol selectivity,and space-time yield.Future perspectives for MOF-based CO_(2)hydrogenation catalysts will prioritize two main directions:structural design and mechanistic understanding.The precise construction of active sites through multi-metallic synergy,defect engineering,and interfacial electronic modulation should be made to enhance catalyst selectivity and stability.In addition,advanced in situ characterization techniques combined with theoretical modeling are essential to unravel the detailed reaction mechanisms and intermediate behaviors,thereby guiding rational catalyst design.Moreover,to enable industrial application,challenges related to thermal/hydrothermal stability,catalyst recyclability,and cost-effective large-scale synthesis must be addressed.The development of green,scalable preparation methods and the integration of MOF catalysts into practical reaction systems(e.g.,flow reactors)will be crucial for bridging the gap between laboratory research and commercial deployment.Ultimately,multi-scale structure-performance optimization and catalytic system integration will be vital for accelerating the industrialization of MOF-based CO_(2)-to-methanol technologies.

文摘Seawater zinc-air batteries are promising energy storage devices due to their high energy density and utilization of seawater electrolytes.However,their efficiency is hindered by the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and chlorideinduced degradation over conventional catalysts.In this study,we proposed a universal synthetic strategy to construct heteroatom axially coordinated Fe–N_(4) single-atom seawater catalyst materials(Cl–Fe–N_(4) and S–Fe–N_(4)).X-ray absorption spectroscopy confirmed their five-coordinated square pyramidal structure.Systematic evaluation of catalytic activities revealed that compared with S–Fe–N_(4),Cl–Fe–N_(4) exhibits smaller electrochemical active surface area and specific surface area,yet demonstrates higher limiting current density(5.8 mA cm^(−2)).The assembled zinc-air batteries using Cl–Fe–N_(4) showed superior power density(187.7 mW cm^(−2) at 245.1 mA cm^(−2)),indicating that Cl axial coordination more effectively enhances the intrinsic ORR activity.Moreover,Cl–Fe–N_(4) demonstrates stronger Cl−poisoning resistance in seawater environments.Chronoamperometry tests and zinc-air battery cycling performance evaluations confirmed its enhanced stability.Density functional theory calculations revealed that the introduction of heteroatoms in the axial direction regulates the electron center of Fe single atom,leading to more active reaction intermediates and increased electron density of Fe single sites,thereby enhancing the reduction in adsorbed intermediates and hence the overall ORR catalytic activity.

文摘High‐entropy amorphous catalysts(HEACs)integrate multielement synergy with structural disorder,making them promising candidates for water splitting.Their distinctive features—including flexible coordination environments,tunable electronic structures,abundant unsaturated active sites,and dynamic structural reassembly—collectively enhance electrochemical activity and durability under operating conditions.This review summarizes recent advances in HEACs for hydrogen evolution,oxygen evolution,and overall water splitting,highlighting their disorder-driven advantages over crystalline counterparts.Catalytic performance benchmarks are presented,and mechanistic insights are discussed,focusing on how multimetallic synergy,amorphization effect,and in‐situ reconstruction cooperatively regulate reaction pathways.These insights provide guidance for the rational design of next‐generation amorphous high‐entropy electrocatalysts with improved efficiency and durability.

文摘Using photoelectrocatalytic CO_(2) reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR)to produce valuable fuels is a fascinating way to alleviate environmental issues and energy crises.Bismuth-based(Bi-based)catalysts have attracted widespread attention for CO_(2)RR due to their high catalytic activity,selectivity,excellent stability,and low cost.However,they still need to be further improved to meet the needs of industrial applications.This review article comprehensively summarizes the recent advances in regulation strategies of Bi-based catalysts and can be divided into six categories:(1)defect engineering,(2)atomic doping engineering,(3)organic framework engineering,(4)inorganic heterojunction engineering,(5)crystal face engineering,and(6)alloying and polarization engineering.Meanwhile,the corresponding catalytic mechanisms of each regulation strategy will also be discussed in detail,aiming to enable researchers to understand the structure-property relationship of the improved Bibased catalysts fundamentally.Finally,the challenges and future opportunities of the Bi-based catalysts in the photoelectrocatalytic CO_(2)RR application field will also be featured from the perspectives of the(1)combination or synergy of multiple regulatory strategies,(2)revealing formation mechanism and realizing controllable synthesis,and(3)in situ multiscale investigation of activation pathways and uncovering the catalytic mechanisms.On the one hand,through the comparative analysis and mechanism explanation of the six major regulatory strategies,a multidimensional knowledge framework of the structure-activity relationship of Bi-based catalysts can be constructed for researchers,which not only deepens the atomic-level understanding of catalytic active sites,charge transport paths,and the adsorption behavior of intermediate products,but also provides theoretical guiding principles for the controllable design of new catalysts;on the other hand,the promising collaborative regulation strategies,controllable synthetic paths,and the in situ multiscale characterization techniques presented in this work provides a paradigm reference for shortening the research and development cycle of high-performance catalysts,conducive to facilitating the transition of photoelectrocatalytic CO_(2)RR technology from the laboratory routes to industrial application.

文摘As the main contributor to air pollution,lots of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)were emitted into the atmo-sphere due to the rapid urbanization and industrialization,threatening environmental safety and human health.Catalytic oxidation has been verified as an efficient approach for VOCs elimination from industrial waste gas streams.Owing to the merits of cost-effective and high activity,cobalt-based catalysts have been considered as one of the most promising candidates for VOCs degradation.This review systematically summarized the devel-opments achieved in the design of cobalt-based catalysts for VOCs removal over the past decade.Specifically,the fabrication of single cobalt oxides,cobalt-based binary oxides and cobalt-based composites,as well as the modified cobalt-based oxides by the surface engineering strategies,such as doping technology and acid etching method are coherently reviewed.Subsequently,the corresponding kinetic models and mechanisms are also dis-cussed.Finally,considering the enormous challenges and opportunities in this field,the perspective with respect to future research on cobalt-based catalysts is proposed.
文摘Secondary M23C6 precipitation around primary MC carbide in a directionally solidified cobalt-base saperalloy was investigated duriny aging at 850℃. The results show that it was closely related to the decomposition of the MC. Two mechanisms were suggested,i.e. the in situ reaction, MC+γ→M23C6+C, and the direct reaction, M+C→M23C6,in which MC acted as a carbon source.
文摘Effect of revert cycles on microstructure and fatigue properties of cast cobalt base superalloy K640S has been investigated. The results show that: at 70 times of cool heat cycles, there were microcracks found in seven times revert and ten times revert. With the increasing of thermal fatigue cycles, the crack of revert grows a little faster than virgin. When the cycle time reaches 200, the crack length for both virgin and reverts have been as long as 2mm. The low cycle fatigue life has no remarkable change, with the increase of revert cycles at 815℃, 360MPa ,0 5Hz. With the times of cycles increasing, it is found that the content of impurity and gas in alloy change a little, and there is no obvious change for dendrite microstructure.

文摘Potassium-ion batteries(KIBs)are regarded as one of the most promising replacements for lithium-ion batteries because of their low cost and high performance.Exploring suitable anode materials to stably and effectively store potassium is critical for the development of KIBs.Given their high theoretical specific capacity,cobalt-based compounds have been extensively investigated as an anode material in recent years;however,specific reviews summarizing the research progress in the application of cobaltbased compounds as anode materials for high-performance KIBs are lacking.Consequently,this review systematically summarizes the recent states of cobalt-based anode materials in KIBs starting at the potassium storage mechanism,followed by strategies and applications to improve the electrochemical performance.The current challenges are also discussed,and corresponding prospects are proposed.This work may facilitate the realization of various applications of cobalt-based compound anodes for highperformance rechargeable batteries and is expected to provide some guidance for developing other metal-based compounds for KIBs anodes.

文摘The release of debris and ions from metallic artificial joints during bio-tribocorrosion posed a severe threat to patient health.In this work,the lifecycle of a Co Cr Mo alloy was presented by investigating the subsurface microstructure transformation in-vitro.The results showed that the originally coarse grains changed to nano-grains(NGs)on the top region of the alloy,and nanoparticles(NPs)were torn off the surface,which were then blocked by the tribo-film.The agglomerated alloy NPs contained in the tribofilm transformed into debris after being removed from the alloy surface.The majority of the torn-off NPs were corroded and released ions into solution due to their high chemical activities.
