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

All 2LiFel-xCoxPOa-Li3V2（PO4）3/C composites are of the similar crystal structure. The XRD analysis and SEM images show that 2LiFe0.96Co0.04PO4-Li3V2（PO4）3/C sample has the best-ordered structure and the smallest particle size. The charge-discharge tests demonstrate that these powders have the best electrochemical properties with an initial discharge capacity of 144.1 mA.h/g and capacity retention of 95.6% after 100 cycles when cycled at a current density of 0.1C between 2.5 and 4.5 V.展开更多

Co-doped cryptomelane was synthesized by refluxing at ambient pressure and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and its performances for removal of Pb^2＋ and Cr^3＋ from aqueous solutions were investigated. Co doping has a negligible effect on the structure and morphology of cryptomelane but increases the specific surface area and Mn average oxidation state. Mn and Co K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy（EXAFS） analysis shows that Co barely affects the atomic coordination environments of Mn, and distances of edge- and corner-sharing Co–Me（Me_Co, Mn） pairs are shorter than those of the corresponding Mn–Me pairs, implying the replacement of framework Mn（III） by Co（III）. These Co-doped cryptomelanes can quickly oxidize Cr3＋to be HCr O4-and remove 45%–66% of the total Cr in the reaction systems by adsorption and fixation, and they have enhanced Pb2＋adsorption capacities. Thus these materials are promising adsorbents for heavy metal remediation. The results demonstrate the design and modification of environmental friendly Mn oxide materials and can help us understand the interaction mechanisms of transition metals with Mn oxides.展开更多
