The structures and oxygen storage capacities of these ternary oxides were characterized by XRD, Raman spectra and oxygen storage capacity measurements. It was found that Al3＋ and Zr4＋ inserted into CeO2 lattice, forming CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 solid solution. The concentration of aluminium isopropoxide in the solution affected the concentration of oxygen vacancy and the distortion of oxygen sublattice which were responsible for the oxygen storage capacity. The rapidest oxygen uptake/release rate and maximum total oxygen storage capacity （122.0 mmolO2/molCeO2） were obtained with the aluminitun isopropoxide concentration at 0.2 wt.% in the solution.展开更多

The as-obtained Pr modi- fied CeO2-ZrO2 was impregnated with 1 wt.% Pd to prepare the catalysts. The structure and reducibility of the fresh and hydrother- really aged catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, CO chemi- sorption and H2 temperature-programmed reduction （H2-TPR）. The oxygen storage capacity （OSC） was evaluated with CO serving as probe gas. Effects of impregnated Pr on the structure and oxygen storage capacity of catalysts were investigated. The results showed that the aged Pr-impregnated samples had much higher OSC and better reducibility than the unmodified ones. The scheme of structural evolutions of the catalysts with and without Pr was also established. Partial of the impregnated Pr diffused into the bulk of CeO2-ZrO2 during ageing, which inhibited the sintering, and increased the amount of oxygen vacancies in CeO2-ZrO2 support. Furthermore, those impregnated Pr species which covered on the surface of the support obstructed the strong metal-support interaction between Pd and Ce so as to reduce the encapsulation of Pd as well as the back spill-over of the oxygen during the catalytic process.展开更多

The Pd-only three-way catalyst （TWC） was obtained by incipient wetness impregnation with 0.5 wt.% Pd loading. The structural and oxygen handling properties were analyzed by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, H2-temperature programmed reduction （H2-TPR） and the dynamic oxygen storage capacity （DOSC）. The introduction of Co into ceria-zirconia lattice strongly modified the mobility of oxygen and enhanced the DOSC performance. Pd-only TWC based on the Co0.1Ce0.6Zr0.3Ox support exhibited superior activity for water-gas shift and steam reforming and ampli- fied amplitude of stoichiometric window.展开更多

The four scales include basin scale, depression scale, play scale and trap scale, and the three levels include theoretical storage capacity, engineering storage capacity, and economic storage capacity. The theoretical storage capacity can be divided into four trapping mechanisms, i.e. structural & stratigraphic trapping, residual trapping, solubility trapping and mineral trapping, depending upon the geological parameters, reservoir conditions and fluid properties in the basin. The engineering storage capacity is affected by the injectivity, storage security pressure, well number, and injection time.The economic storage capacity mainly considers the carbon pricing yield, drilling investment, and operation cost, based on the break-even principle. Application of the method for saline aquifer in the Gaoyou sag of the Subei Basin reveals that the structural & stratigraphic trapping occupies the largest proportion of the theoretical storage capacity, followed by the solubility trapping and the residual trapping, and the mineral trapping takes the lowest proportion. The engineering storage capacity and the economic storage capacity are significantly lower than the theoretical storage capacity when considering the constrains of injectivity, security and economy, respectively accounting for 21.0% and 17.6% of the latter.展开更多

XRD, BET, and oxygen storage capacity （OSC） investigations were performed on samples aged at 750, 900, and 1050 ℃. It was observed that BET surface area and OSC showed a marked decrease in CeO2 aged at high temperature, and the erystallite size showed an obvious increase. The CZO samples consist of cubic- and tetragonal crvstal phases, and their crystallite size increase rapidly when aged at high temperature. The CZYO samples consist of single crystal phase when the content of Y exceeds 0.15 mol, and their erystallite size increases slowly during high-temperature aging. It is concluded that additive Y can stabilize the performance of CZYO oxides. In the aged CZO and CZYO mixed-oxide systems, addition of a small amount of precious metals （Pt, Pd, Rh） increased the rate of reduction and led to an obvious improvement in OSC. OSC of CZO and CZYO with precious metals are related to their composition and the type of precious metal.展开更多

The sample was characterized by XRD, TEM, HRTEM and nitrogen adsorption. Their electrochemical behaviors as electrode reactants for lithium ion batteries were evaluated by cyclic voltammograms and static charge-discharge. A direct comparison of electrochemical behaviors between mesoporous nanostructure and bulk reflects interesting ＂nanostructure effect＂, which is reasonably discussed in terms of how the 3D nanostructures of Co3O4 materials function in tuning their electrochemistry. The results demonstrate that further improvement of electrochemical performance in transition metal-oxide-based anode materials can be realized via the design of multiporous nanostructured materials.展开更多

The production of graphene sheets by oxidative exfoliation of graphite can be a suitable route for the preparation of high volumes of graphene derivatives. P-substituted graphene material is developed for its application in hydrogen sorption in room temperature. Phosphorous doped graphene material with multi-layers of graphene shows a nearly ~2.2 wt% hydrogen sorption capacity at 298 K and 100 bar. This value is higher than that for reduced graphene oxide (RGO without phosphorous).展开更多

文摘Surface hydrogen storage facilities are limited and costly,making subsurface hydrogen storage in geological formations a more viable alternative due to its substantial capacity,safety,and economic feasibility.This method is essential for large-scale hydrogen storage to support renewable energy integration,fuel cell technologies,and other applications aimed at mitigating global climate change.This review examines underground hydrogen storage(UHS)in geological formations,focusing on recent experiments,modeling and simulations,and field applications.Geological formations such as depleted oil reservoirs,salt caverns,and depleted natural gas reservoirs are identified as favorable candidates due to minimal interactions with hydrogen,leading to low hydrogen loss.Globally,80%of UHS projects utilize depleted natural gas and oil reservoirs,with over 50%focused on depleted natural gas and oil condensate reservoirs due to cost-effective existing infrastructure.Among storage options,salt caverns are the most advantageous,offering self-healing properties,low caprock permeability,large storage capacity,rapid injection and withdrawal rates,and low contamination risk.Additionally,hydrogen produced from coal is the cheapest option,costing 1.2e2 USD/kg,whereas hydrogen from renewable sources,such as water,is the most expensive at 3e13 USD/kg.Despite its higher cost,green hydrogen from water,characterized by low carbon emissions,requires further research to reduce production costs.This review highlights critical research gaps,challenges,and policy recommendations to advance UHS technologies,ensuring their role in combating climate change.

文摘Compared to lake area and water level,lake storage capacity more intuitively reflects regional climate changes.In this study,we first derived lakebed elevation profiles for individual ICESat-2 tracks based on the underwater stratification of laser photons,then integrating all valid elevation tracks within the water body to interpolate the bathymetry.On this basis,we calculated the capacity and its time series directly,with the aid of lake boundaries and water levels obtained from optical imagery and CryoSat-2 data.Next,we also applied an empirical formula to estimate the water volume changes of Bangdag Co by combining the area and water levels from 2010 to 2023.Finally,we compared the results of Bangdag Co's water volume changes obtained from the two different methods and conducted a detailed analysis of their performance and regional applicability.The bathymetric map of Bangdag Co reveals a distinct spatial pattern,with the northeastern part significantly deeper(with a maximum depth of 35.27 m)and the southwestern part shallower.The average depth of the lake is 13.99 m.We further estimated that the lake storage capacity in November 2023 was 2.95 km^(3).Water volume changes estimated using the empirical formula were highly consistent with those derived from the lake storage capacity time series(from 2010 to 2023,the lake storage capacity increased by 1.04 km^(3)).Our comparison revealed that the empirical formula method reflects only changes in water volume.In contrast,while our method can accurately estimate lake storage capacity,it is constrained to shallow,clear,and elongated east-west lakes(e.g.,Ayakkum Lake).In summary,the ICESat-2 laser altimetry data,which do not rely on measured water depths,offer an essential complement to underwater topography detection and provide a novel perspective on lake volume estimation research.

文摘Praseodymium （Pr） was impregnated to CeO2-ZrO2 solid solution by an impregnation method. The as-obtained Pr modi- fied CeO2-ZrO2 was impregnated with 1 wt.% Pd to prepare the catalysts. The structure and reducibility of the fresh and hydrother- really aged catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, CO chemi- sorption and H2 temperature-programmed reduction （H2-TPR）. The oxygen storage capacity （OSC） was evaluated with CO serving as probe gas. Effects of impregnated Pr on the structure and oxygen storage capacity of catalysts were investigated. The results showed that the aged Pr-impregnated samples had much higher OSC and better reducibility than the unmodified ones. The scheme of structural evolutions of the catalysts with and without Pr was also established. Partial of the impregnated Pr diffused into the bulk of CeO2-ZrO2 during ageing, which inhibited the sintering, and increased the amount of oxygen vacancies in CeO2-ZrO2 support. Furthermore, those impregnated Pr species which covered on the surface of the support obstructed the strong metal-support interaction between Pd and Ce so as to reduce the encapsulation of Pd as well as the back spill-over of the oxygen during the catalytic process.

文摘The effect of Co doping on ceria-zirconia mixed oxides was investigated for Co0.1Ce0.6Zr0.3Ox sample prepared by sol-gel method. The Pd-only three-way catalyst （TWC） was obtained by incipient wetness impregnation with 0.5 wt.% Pd loading. The structural and oxygen handling properties were analyzed by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, H2-temperature programmed reduction （H2-TPR） and the dynamic oxygen storage capacity （DOSC）. The introduction of Co into ceria-zirconia lattice strongly modified the mobility of oxygen and enhanced the DOSC performance. Pd-only TWC based on the Co0.1Ce0.6Zr0.3Ox support exhibited superior activity for water-gas shift and steam reforming and ampli- fied amplitude of stoichiometric window.

文摘The concept of the carbon cycle in the old goaf of a coal mine based on CO_(2)utilization and storage was put forward adhering to the principle of low-carbon development,utilization of space resources in old goafs,and associated gas resources development.Firstly,the evolution characteristics of overburden fissures in the goaf of the case was studied using a two-dimensional physical similarity simulation test,the sealing performance of the caprocks after stabilization was analyzed,and the fissures were counted and classi-fied.Then,the process of gaseous CO_(2)injection in the connected fissure was simulated by Ansys Fluent software,and the migration law and distribution characteristics of CO_(2)under the condition of gaseous CO_(2)injection were analyzed.Finally,the estimation models of free CO_(2)storage capacity in the old goaf were constructed considering the proportion of connected fissure and the effectiveness of CO_(2)injection.The CO_(2)storage capacity in the old goaf of the case coal mine was estimated.The results showed that a caprock group of“hard-thickness low-permeability hard-thickness”was formed after the caprock-fissures system in the goaf of the case tended to be stable vertically.The connected fissure,occlude cracks,and micro-fractures in the goaf accounted for 85.5%,8.5%,and 6%of the total fissures,respectively.Gaseous CO_(2)first migrated to the bottom of the connected fissure after CO_(2)was injected into the goaf,then spread horizontally along the bottom of the connected fissure after reaching the bottom,and finally spread longitudinally after filling the bottom of the entire connected fissure.The theoretical and effective storage capacities of free CO_(2)at normal temperature and pressure in the old goaf of the case were 9757 and 7477 t,respectively.The effective storage capacity of free CO_(2)at normal temperature and pressure in the old goaf after all minefield mined was 193404 t.The research can provide some reference for the coal mining industry to help the goal of“carbon peaking and carbon neutrality”.

文摘According to the requirements for large-scale project implementation, a four-scale and three-level CO_(2)storage potential evaluation method is proposed for saline aquifers in a petroliferous basin in China, considering geological,engineering and economic factors. The four scales include basin scale, depression scale, play scale and trap scale, and the three levels include theoretical storage capacity, engineering storage capacity, and economic storage capacity. The theoretical storage capacity can be divided into four trapping mechanisms, i.e. structural & stratigraphic trapping, residual trapping, solubility trapping and mineral trapping, depending upon the geological parameters, reservoir conditions and fluid properties in the basin. The engineering storage capacity is affected by the injectivity, storage security pressure, well number, and injection time.The economic storage capacity mainly considers the carbon pricing yield, drilling investment, and operation cost, based on the break-even principle. Application of the method for saline aquifer in the Gaoyou sag of the Subei Basin reveals that the structural & stratigraphic trapping occupies the largest proportion of the theoretical storage capacity, followed by the solubility trapping and the residual trapping, and the mineral trapping takes the lowest proportion. The engineering storage capacity and the economic storage capacity are significantly lower than the theoretical storage capacity when considering the constrains of injectivity, security and economy, respectively accounting for 21.0% and 17.6% of the latter.

文摘Compensating for photovoltaic(PV)power forecast errors is an important function of energy storage systems.As PV power outputs have strong random fluctuations and uncertainty,it is difficult to satisfy the grid-connection requirements using fixed energy storage capacity configuration methods.In this paper,a method of configuring energy storage capacity is proposed based on the uncertainty of PV power generation.A k-means clustering algorithm is used to classify weather types based on differences in solar irradiance.The power forecast errors in different weather types are analyzed,and an energy storage system is used to compensate for the errors.The kernel density estimation is used to fit the distributions of the daily maximum power and maximum capacity requirements of the energy storage system;the power and capacity of the energy storage unit are calculated at different confidence levels.The optimized energy storage configuration of a PV plant is presented according to the calculated degrees of power and capacity satisfaction.The proposed method was validated using actual operating data from a PV power station.The results indicated that the required energy storage can be significantly reduced while compensating for power forecast errors.

文摘Gas hydrate is a new technology for energy gas（methane/hydrogen）storage due to its large capacity of gas storage and safe.But industrial application of hydrate storage process was hindered by someproblems.For methane,the main problems are low formation rateand storage capacity,which can be solved by strengthening mass andheat transfer,such as adding additives,stirring,bubbling,etc.Onekind of additives can change the equilibrium curve to reduce the formation pressure of methane hydrate,and the other kind of additivesis surfactant,which can form micelle with water and increase the interface of water-gas.Dry water has the similar effects on the methanehydrate as surfactant.Additionally,stirring,bubbling,and sprayingcan increase formation rate and storage capacity due to mass transferstrengthened.Inserting internal or external heat exchange also canimprove formation rate because of good heat transfer.For hydrogen,the main difficulties are very high pressure for hydrate formed.Tetrahydrofuran（THF）,tetrabutylammonium bromide（TBAB） andtetrabutylammonium fluoride（TBAF） have been proved to be able todecrease the hydrogen hydrate formation pressure significantly.

文摘CZO （CeO2-ZrO2） and CZYO （CeO2-ZrO2-Y2O3） series of mixed oxides were prepared by coprecipitaion, and a part of these oxides were loaded with precious metals （PM）. XRD, BET, and oxygen storage capacity （OSC） investigations were performed on samples aged at 750, 900, and 1050 ℃. It was observed that BET surface area and OSC showed a marked decrease in CeO2 aged at high temperature, and the erystallite size showed an obvious increase. The CZO samples consist of cubic- and tetragonal crvstal phases, and their crystallite size increase rapidly when aged at high temperature. The CZYO samples consist of single crystal phase when the content of Y exceeds 0.15 mol, and their erystallite size increases slowly during high-temperature aging. It is concluded that additive Y can stabilize the performance of CZYO oxides. In the aged CZO and CZYO mixed-oxide systems, addition of a small amount of precious metals （Pt, Pd, Rh） increased the rate of reduction and led to an obvious improvement in OSC. OSC of CZO and CZYO with precious metals are related to their composition and the type of precious metal.

文摘The interfacial performance of implanted neural electrodes is crucial for stimulation safety and the recording quality of neuronal activity.This paper proposes a novel surface architecture and optimization strategy for the platinum–iridium(Pt–Ir)electrode to optimize electrochemical performance and wettability.A series of surface micro/nano structures were fabricated on Pt–Ir electrodes with different combinations of four adjustable laser-processing parameters.Subsequently,the electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy,cyclic voltammetry,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,and wetting behavior.The results show that electrode performance strongly depends on the surface morphology.Increasing scanning overlap along with moderate pulse energy and the right number of pulses leads to enriched surface micro/nano structures and improved electrode performance.It raises the maximum charge storage capacity to 128.2 mC/cm^(2) and the interface capacitance of electrodes to 3.0×10^(4)μF/cm^(2) for the geometric area,compared with 4.6 mC/cm^(2) and 443.1μF/cm2,respectively,for the smooth Pt–Ir electrode.The corresponding optimal results for the optically measured area are 111.8 mC/cm^(2) and 2.6×10^(4)μF/cm^(2),which indicate the contribution of fner structures to the ablation profle.The hierarchical structures formed by the femtosecond laser dramatically enhanced the wettability of the electrode interface,giving it superwicking properties.A wicking speed of approximately 80 mm/s was reached.Our optimization strategy,leading to superior performance of the superwicking Pt–Ir interface,is promising for use in new neural electrodes.

文摘Binary Ce-Zr（CZ）,Pr-Zr（PZ） and ternary Ce-Zr-Pr（CZP） mixed oxides were prepared by an ammonia-aided co-precipitation method,and were aged in a steam/air flow at 1050 °C.X-ray diffraction（XRD）,Raman spectra,X-photon spectra（XPS） and CO temperature programmed reduction（TPR） were carried out to characterize the micro-structure and reducibility of catalysts.The oxygen storage capacity（OSC） was evaluated with CO serving as probe gas.The results showed that a pseudo cubic structure was formed for the Zr-rich ceria-zirconia mixed oxides with Pr doping.The insertion of Pr prevented the phase segregation of the mixed oxides during the hydrothermal ageing.The Pr doped samples showed better redox performances in comparison with CZ,and the sample doped with 5 wt.% Pr showed the most remarkably promoted dynamic oxygen storage capacity.This phenomenon was closely related to both the reducibility and oxygen mobility of the mixed oxides.The introduction of praseodymium into ceria-zirconia could accelerate the oxygen migration by increasing the amount of oxygen vacancies,although it was difficult for Pr3＋ ions themselves to participate in the oxygen exchange process.
文摘Cerium and cerium-based oxides are found to be an important element in three-way catalytic converter(TWC).The effective utilization of TWC is found to be reduced due to thermal loading which results in structural deformation of ceria,Doping Zr^(4+)into the rare earth element can increase the oxygen storage capacity and thermal stability.Hence,an attempt was made to study the oxygen storage capacity and thermal stability of ceria by doping Zr^(4+)and Nd^(3+).Cerium-based nanocrystallite in the composition of Ce_(0.6)Zr_(0.4-x)Nd_(1.3)xO_(2)(0≤x≤0.4)was prepared by sol-gel synthesize technique with citric acid as a gel-forming agent.X-ray diffraction(XRD)result shows that doping Nd^(3+)into ceria lattice forms homogenous solid solution of cubic fluorite structure up to 25%of substitute only.Doping higher amount of Nd^(3+)into ceria lattice leads to the formation of Nd_(2)O_(3).Raman spectrum study confirms that oxygen storage capacity band is present in Ce_(0.6)Zr_(0.4)O2 and Ce_(0.6)Zr_(0.3)Nd_(0.13)O_(2).The oxygen storage capacity was calculated through weight loss of the sample during the second heating cycle with cyclic heating from30 to 800℃in thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).The TGA study reveals that the oxygen storage capacity of Ce_(0.6)Zr_(0.4)O2 decreases after the substitution of Nd^(3+),which is due to the larger ionic radius of Nd^(3+)compared with that of Zr4+and CeO2.

文摘We report the microstructure, application for lithium-ion batteries of mesoporous Co304 prepared by modified KIT-6 template method. The sample was characterized by XRD, TEM, HRTEM and nitrogen adsorption. Their electrochemical behaviors as electrode reactants for lithium ion batteries were evaluated by cyclic voltammograms and static charge-discharge. A direct comparison of electrochemical behaviors between mesoporous nanostructure and bulk reflects interesting ＂nanostructure effect＂, which is reasonably discussed in terms of how the 3D nanostructures of Co3O4 materials function in tuning their electrochemistry. The results demonstrate that further improvement of electrochemical performance in transition metal-oxide-based anode materials can be realized via the design of multiporous nanostructured materials.

文摘A novel three-dimensional hierarchical WO_(3)photoelectrode was prepared by solvothermal method,and ZnO was deposited on its surface by electrochemical method.The WO_(3)/ZnWO_(4)/ZnO multiphaseheterojunction photoelectrode was prepared by further annealing treatment to explore the photoinduced cathodic protection(CP)performance.Compared with WO_(3)and ZnO,the photoinduced CP and electron storage capacity performance of WO_(3)/ZnWO_(4)/ZnO is significantly improved in 3.5%NaCl solution without adding any hole scavenger.The electron storage capacity of the WO_(3)/ZnWO_(4)/ZnO heterojunction makes it possible to continuously protect metallic materials in the dark after switching off the light,which can realize long-term and effective photoinduced CP.
文摘A variety of distinctive techniques have been developed to produce graphene sheets and their functionalized subsidiaries or composites. The production of graphene sheets by oxidative exfoliation of graphite can be a suitable route for the preparation of high volumes of graphene derivatives. P-substituted graphene material is developed for its application in hydrogen sorption in room temperature. Phosphorous doped graphene material with multi-layers of graphene shows a nearly ~2.2 wt% hydrogen sorption capacity at 298 K and 100 bar. This value is higher than that for reduced graphene oxide (RGO without phosphorous).
