Using this technique, the catalytic ability of cobalt hexacyanoferrate(CoHCF) microcrystalline toward AA oxidation was also studied. It was found that the dispersed CoHCF powder in the PEG paste can generate well shaped thin layer cyclic voltammetric waves with the peak height proportional to the scan rate, corresponding to the Fe centered redox reactions. This oxidation step catalyzed the AA oxidation. Also, this pasted CoHCF powder generated well resolved in situ MFTIRs spectra, by which a chemical interaction between CC bond of AA ring and CoHCF lattice was revealed. A corresponding surface docking mechanism for the catalytic reaction has been proposed.展开更多

The calcina t ign processconsisted of four stages：ambient temperature- 180℃ （stageⅠ ）, 180-250℃（stage Ⅱ）, 250-400℃ （stage Ⅲ）, and constant 400℃ （stage Ⅳ）.The most intense reaction occurred in stage .Ⅱ. The rate of thermal decomposition was controlled, depending on the O2 flux, by O2 or CN concentration in ditterent stages. Results from differential thermal analysis （DTA） showed that the calcination reaction of the anhydrous UE was exothermic, with an approximate heat output of 4.6kJ·g^-1, which was so large to cause the possible agglomeration of calcined residues. The agglomeration could be avoided by enhancing heat transfer and controlling the O2 flux. It was found that there was no cyanides in the calcined residues and no CN-bearing gases such as HCN and （CN）2 in the off-gas. It seemed that the catalytic oxidation furnace behind the fixed bed calciner could be cancelled.展开更多

The electroplating solution is a major source of wastewater in the printing wiring board industry. A paraffin composite copper hexacyanoferrate modified(PCCHM) electrode was used as the anode and a bare graphite electrode was used as the cathode. The changes in PEG and total organic carbon(TOC) concentrations during the course of the reaction were monitored. The efficiency of the PCCHM anode was compared with bare graphite anode and it was found that the former showed significant electrocatalytic property for PEG and TOC removal. Chlorides present in the solution were found to contribute significantly in the overall organic removal process. Short chain organic compounds like acetic acid, oxalic acid, formic acid and ethylene glycol formed during electrolysis were identified by HPLC method. Anode surface area and applied current density were found to influence the electro-oxidation process, in which the former was found to be dominating. Investigations of the kinetics for the present electrochemical reaction suggested that the two stage first-order kinetic model provides a much better representation of the overall mechanism of the process if compared to the generalized kinetic model.展开更多

Increasing the Na content in cathode materials is one of the effective ways to achieve high energy density. Prussian blue and its analogues （PBAs） are promising Na-rich cathode materials since they can theoretically store two Na＋ ions per formula unit. However, increasing the Na content in PBAs cathode materials remains a major challenge. Here we show that sodium iron hexacyanoferrate with high Na content can be obtained by simply controlling the reducing agent and reaction atmosphere during synthesis. The Na content can reach as high as 1.63 per formula, which is the highest value for sodium iron hexacyanoferrate. This Na-rich sodium iron hexacyanoferrate demonstrates a high specific capacity of 150 mAh·g^-1 and remarkable cycling performance with 90% capacity retention after 200 cycles. Furthermore, the Na intercalation/ de-intercalation mechanism has been systematically studied by in situ Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis for the first time. The Na-rich sodium iron hexacyanoferrate can function as a plenteous Na reservoir and has great potential as a cathode material for practical Na-ion batteries.展开更多

The resulting modified electrode showed a pair of well-defined surface waves in the potential range of 0.40 to 1.0 V with the formal potential of 0.682 V （vs. SCE） in 0.050 mol·dm^-3 HOAc-NaOAc buffer containing 0.30 mol·dm^-3 KCl. The charge transfer coefficient （a） and charge transfer rate constant （ks） for the modified electrode were calculated. The electrocatalytic activity of this modified electrode to hydrazine was also investigated, and chronoamperometry was exploited to conveniently determine the diffusion coefficient （D） of hydrazine in solution and the catalytic rate constant （kcat）. Finally, hydrazine was determined with amperometry using the resulting modified electrode. The calibration plot for hydrazine determination was linear in 3.0 × 10^-6--7.5 × 10^-4 mol·dm^-3 with the detection limit of 8.0 × 10^-7 molodm^-3. This modified electrode had some advantages over the modified film electrodes constructed by the conventional methods, such as renewable surface, good long-term stability, excellent catalytic activity and short response time to hydrazine.展开更多

The mechanism of film formation of MnHCF and its growth process were investigated in detail by cyclic voltammetry. The results show that the stoichiometric composition of MnHCF is Mn^ⅢFe^Ⅲ（CN）6, an analogue of prussian yellow. There exist three clear-cut stages in the whole modification process and the last stage is indispensable to the fabrication of homogenized, stable MnHCF film and must last for an appropriate time. The surface morphology of MnHCF/GC electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, which further verified the effective deposition of MnHCF film on GC. The kinetic constants of MnHCF/GC electrode process were also evaluated. The resulting MnHCF film modified electrode presented good stability and high electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of H2O2, indicating that MnHCF film possesses function of catalase and can be expected for analytical purposes.展开更多

文摘The exploration of low-strain and high-performance electrode is a crucial issue for aqueous potassiumion battery(AKIB).Herein,a novel potassium mediated iron/manganese binary hexacyanoferrate nanocuboid,i.e.,K_(x)Fe_(y)Mn_(1-y)[Fe(CN)_(6)]·nH_(2)O(KFeMnHCF)nanocuboid,with the concentration-gradient(CG)structure is designed as a high-performance cathode for AKIB.Internal the CG-KFeMnHCF nanocuboids,the manganese content gradually decreases from the interior to the surface and the iron content changes reverse,resulting in the concentration-gradient structure.Both experimental and finite element simulation(FEA)results demonstrate the lower internal stress and better mechanical characteristics of CG structured nanocuboid than the homogenous structured one upon ion intercalation/deintercalation processes.Meanwhile,the electrochemical testing and theoretical calculation(DFT)results disclose the substitution of Fe to Mn in the KMnHCF crystal results in the enhanced electronic conductivity,potassium migration and electrochemical kinetics.Taken both advantages from the well-designed architecture and optimized crystal structure,the CG-KFeMnHCF achieves the superior rate capability and ultrahigh stability in aqueous potassium ion system.In particular,the CG-KFe_(0.31)Mn_(0.69)HCF achieves the best comprehensive properties among all the samples.The full AKIBs based on CG-KFe_(0.31)Mn_(0.69)HCF cathode achieves the high energy density(83 Wh kg^(-1)),superior power density,high capacity retention(83%)over high-rate long-term cycles,good adaptation to a wide temperature range(-20 to 40℃)and high reliability even under outside deformations.Therefore,this work not only provides a new clue to design the highperformance cathode,but also promotes the applications of AKIBs for diverse electronics and wide working environments.

文摘Sodium iron hexacyanoferrate(FeHCF)is one of the most promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)due to its low cost theoretical capacity.However,the low electrochemical activity of Fe^(LS)(C)in FeHCF drags down its practical capacity and potential plateau.Herein,FeHCF with high Fe^(LS)(C)electrochemical activity(C-FeHCF)is synthesized via a facile citric acid-assisted solvothermal method.As the cathode of SIBs,C-FeHCF shows superior cycling stability(ca.87.3%capacity retention for 1000 cycles at 10 C)and outstanding rate performance(ca.68.5%capacity retention at 50 C).Importantly,the contribution of Fe^(LS)(C)to the whole capacity was quantitatively analyzed via combining dQ/dV and discharge curve for the first time,and the index reaches 44.53%for C-FeHCF,close to the theoretical value.In-situ X-ray diffraction proves the structure stability of C-FeHCF during charge-discharge process,ensuring its superior cycling performance.Furthermore,the application feasibility of the C-FeHCF cathode in quasi-solid SIBs is also evaluated.The quasi-solid SIBs with the C-FeHCF cathode exhibit excellent electrochemical performance,delivering an initial discharge capacity of 106.5 mAh g^(−1) at 5 C and high capacity retention of 89.8%over 1200 cycles.This work opens new insights into the design and development of advanced cathode materials for SIBs and the beyond.
文摘In-situ microscopic FTIR spectroelectrochemical technique(MFTIRs) was applied to studying the electrochemical oxidation of ascorbic acid(AA) in poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) paste at a 100 μm diameter Pt disk electrode. Using this technique, the catalytic ability of cobalt hexacyanoferrate(CoHCF) microcrystalline toward AA oxidation was also studied. It was found that the dispersed CoHCF powder in the PEG paste can generate well shaped thin layer cyclic voltammetric waves with the peak height proportional to the scan rate, corresponding to the Fe centered redox reactions. This oxidation step catalyzed the AA oxidation. Also, this pasted CoHCF powder generated well resolved in situ MFTIRs spectra, by which a chemical interaction between CC bond of AA ring and CoHCF lattice was revealed. A corresponding surface docking mechanism for the catalytic reaction has been proposed.

文摘We report here the activated carbon and cobalt hexacyanoferrate composite,which is applied as the electrode materials in symmetric supercapacitors containing a 1.0 M Na_(2)SO_(4) aqueous electrolyte.This novel material combines high specific surface area and electrochemical stability of activated carbon with the redox properties of cobalt hexacyanoferrate,resulting in maximum specific capacitance of 329 F g^(-1) with large voltage working window of 2.0 V.Electrochemical studies indicated that cobalt hexacyanoferrate introduces important pseudocapacitive properties accounting for the overall charge-storage process,especially when I<0.5 A g^(-1).At lower gravimetric currents(e.g.,0.05 A g^(-1))and up to 1.0 V,the presence of cobalt hexacyanoferrate improves the specific energy for more than 300%.In addition,to better understanding the energy storage process we also provided a careful investigation of the electrode materials under dynamic polarization conditions using the in situ Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron light Xray diffraction techniques.Interesting complementary findings were obtained in these studies.We believe that this novel electrode material is promising for applications regarding the energy-storage process in pseudocapacitors with long lifespan properties.

文摘The widely accepted theory concerning the electrochemical energy storage mechanism of copper hexacyanoferrate(CuHCF)for supercapacitors is that CuHCF stores charge by the reversible redox processes of Fe^3+/Fe2+couple and Cu cations are electrochemically inactive.In this work,CuHCF nanocubes(CuHCF-NC)were synthesized in the presence of potassium citrate and its electrochemical properties were tentatively studied in 1 mol/L Na2 SO4 aqueous electrolyte.Good supercapacitive performance was exhibited.The combined analyses of cyclic voltammogram(CV)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)disclosed that the CuHCF nanocubes underwent the redox reactions of Fe^3+/Fe2+and Cu^2+/Cu+couples to store charges.The Cu^2+/Cu+redox couple was activated due to the strong coordination interaction between the carboxylate groups of citrate ions and surface Cu cations.
文摘The thermal decomposition of potassium titanium hexacyanoferrate（ Ⅱ ） （KTiFC） loaded with cesium （referred to as Used Exchanger,or UE） was-studied at different flow rate of air in a fixed bed calciner. The calcina t ign processconsisted of four stages：ambient temperature- 180℃ （stageⅠ ）, 180-250℃（stage Ⅱ）, 250-400℃ （stage Ⅲ）, and constant 400℃ （stage Ⅳ）.The most intense reaction occurred in stage .Ⅱ. The rate of thermal decomposition was controlled, depending on the O2 flux, by O2 or CN concentration in ditterent stages. Results from differential thermal analysis （DTA） showed that the calcination reaction of the anhydrous UE was exothermic, with an approximate heat output of 4.6kJ·g^-1, which was so large to cause the possible agglomeration of calcined residues. The agglomeration could be avoided by enhancing heat transfer and controlling the O2 flux. It was found that there was no cyanides in the calcined residues and no CN-bearing gases such as HCN and （CN）2 in the off-gas. It seemed that the catalytic oxidation furnace behind the fixed bed calciner could be cancelled.
文摘Electrochemical oxidation of polyethylene glycol(PEG) in an acidic(pH 0.18 to 0.42) and high ionic strength electroplating solution was investigated. The electroplating solution is a major source of wastewater in the printing wiring board industry. A paraffin composite copper hexacyanoferrate modified(PCCHM) electrode was used as the anode and a bare graphite electrode was used as the cathode. The changes in PEG and total organic carbon(TOC) concentrations during the course of the reaction were monitored. The efficiency of the PCCHM anode was compared with bare graphite anode and it was found that the former showed significant electrocatalytic property for PEG and TOC removal. Chlorides present in the solution were found to contribute significantly in the overall organic removal process. Short chain organic compounds like acetic acid, oxalic acid, formic acid and ethylene glycol formed during electrolysis were identified by HPLC method. Anode surface area and applied current density were found to influence the electro-oxidation process, in which the former was found to be dominating. Investigations of the kinetics for the present electrochemical reaction suggested that the two stage first-order kinetic model provides a much better representation of the overall mechanism of the process if compared to the generalized kinetic model.
文摘Ferrocyanides of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) were synthesized and characterized by IR spectra, magnetic susceptibility, thermal gravimetric analysis, elemental analysis and X ray diffraction studies. Antimicrobial potential of these complexes have been evaluated. Antifungal screening of these complexes has been carried out against Mycogone perniciosa and Verticillium fungicola causing wet and dry bubble diseases of button mushroom respectively. Nickel ferrocyanide has been found to be most effective against Mycogone perniciosa with 60% inhibitory effect while cadmium ferrocyanide has exhibited significant potential of 85% against Verticillium fungicola.
文摘Chromium hexacyanoferrate (CrHCF) modified grassy carbon electrode (GC) in different electrolytes was studied by cyclic voltammetry and in situ FTIR spectroelectrochemistry. The results indicate that the behavior of CrHCF firm can be understood in term of two structures: Cr1/3Cr(III)Fe(II)(CN), and MCr(III)Fe(II)(CN)(6). Besides,the film exists in amorphous state: the outer layer is porous film, while the inner layer is relatively compact. According to the electrochemical reaction of CrHCF, the lattice can contract and expand with the cations' diffusion.

文摘Hippocampal sclerosis,characterized by significant hippocampal neuronal loss,oxidative stress,glial cell proliferation,and inflammatory responses,constitutes a pivotal component in the pathogenesis of temporal lobe epilepsy(TLE).Traditional treatment strategies,mainly involving anti-epileptic drugs,face challenges including ineffectiveness,drug tolerance,and adverse reactions,complicating management of the condition.Herein,we design and engineer ultrasmall potassium calcium hexacyanoferrate(III)nanoparticles,designated as KCaHNPs,which feature a broad spectrum of enzymatic activities analogous to superoxide dismutase,catalase,peroxidase,and glutathione peroxidase.KCaHNPs efficiently neutralize excessive reactive oxygen species,mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction,maintain neuronal integrity,and prevent apoptosis.Importantly,KCaHNPs significantly reduce neuronal damage,apoptosis,ferroptosis,and glial cells activation in TLE-afflicted rats,thereby improving spatial and short-term memory,and diminishing epileptic hyperexcitability.Prophylactic deployment of KCaHNPs markedly decreases the frequency and duration of seizures,extends the latency period before the onset of initial seizures,and enhances neural functions within the hippocampal CA3 area.Collectively,these findings underscore the potent therapeutic and prophylactic efficacy of KCa HNPs in mitigating TLE by bolstering cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress and inflammation.This innovative approach holds promise as a comprehensive and efficacious strategy for managing temporal lobe epilepsy and potentially other complex neurological disorders.
文摘Owing to the worldwide abundance and low-cost of Na, room-temperature Na-ion batteries are emerging as attractive energy storage systems for large- scale grids. Increasing the Na content in cathode materials is one of the effective ways to achieve high energy density. Prussian blue and its analogues （PBAs） are promising Na-rich cathode materials since they can theoretically store two Na＋ ions per formula unit. However, increasing the Na content in PBAs cathode materials remains a major challenge. Here we show that sodium iron hexacyanoferrate with high Na content can be obtained by simply controlling the reducing agent and reaction atmosphere during synthesis. The Na content can reach as high as 1.63 per formula, which is the highest value for sodium iron hexacyanoferrate. This Na-rich sodium iron hexacyanoferrate demonstrates a high specific capacity of 150 mAh·g^-1 and remarkable cycling performance with 90% capacity retention after 200 cycles. Furthermore, the Na intercalation/ de-intercalation mechanism has been systematically studied by in situ Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis for the first time. The Na-rich sodium iron hexacyanoferrate can function as a plenteous Na reservoir and has great potential as a cathode material for practical Na-ion batteries.

文摘Graphite powder-supported cupric hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) nanoparticles weredispersed into methyltrimethoxysilane-based gels to produce a conducting carbon ceramic composite,which was used as electrode material to fabricate surface-renewable CuHCF-modified electrodes.Electrochemical behavior of the CuHCF-modified carbon ceramic composite electrodes was characterizedusing cyclic and square-wave voltammetry. Cych'c voltammograms at various scan rates indicated thatpeak currents were surface-confined at low scan rates. In the presence of glutathione, a clearelectrocatalytic response was observed at the CuHCF-modified composite electrodes. In addition, theelectrodes exhibited a distinct advantage of reproducible surface-renewal by simple mechanicalpolishing on e-mery paper, as well as ease of preparation, and good chemical and mechanicalstability in a flowing stream.

文摘A copper hexacyanoferrate modified ceramic carbon electrode （CuHCF/CCE） had been prepared by two-step sol-gel technique and characterized using electrochemical methods. The resulting modified electrode showed a pair of well-defined surface waves in the potential range of 0.40 to 1.0 V with the formal potential of 0.682 V （vs. SCE） in 0.050 mol·dm^-3 HOAc-NaOAc buffer containing 0.30 mol·dm^-3 KCl. The charge transfer coefficient （a） and charge transfer rate constant （ks） for the modified electrode were calculated. The electrocatalytic activity of this modified electrode to hydrazine was also investigated, and chronoamperometry was exploited to conveniently determine the diffusion coefficient （D） of hydrazine in solution and the catalytic rate constant （kcat）. Finally, hydrazine was determined with amperometry using the resulting modified electrode. The calibration plot for hydrazine determination was linear in 3.0 × 10^-6--7.5 × 10^-4 mol·dm^-3 with the detection limit of 8.0 × 10^-7 molodm^-3. This modified electrode had some advantages over the modified film electrodes constructed by the conventional methods, such as renewable surface, good long-term stability, excellent catalytic activity and short response time to hydrazine.

文摘A thin film of manganese hexacyanoferrate （MnHCF） was electrochemically formed on a glassy carbon （GC） electrode to prepare a chemically modified electrode （CME）. The mechanism of film formation of MnHCF and its growth process were investigated in detail by cyclic voltammetry. The results show that the stoichiometric composition of MnHCF is Mn^ⅢFe^Ⅲ（CN）6, an analogue of prussian yellow. There exist three clear-cut stages in the whole modification process and the last stage is indispensable to the fabrication of homogenized, stable MnHCF film and must last for an appropriate time. The surface morphology of MnHCF/GC electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, which further verified the effective deposition of MnHCF film on GC. The kinetic constants of MnHCF/GC electrode process were also evaluated. The resulting MnHCF film modified electrode presented good stability and high electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of H2O2, indicating that MnHCF film possesses function of catalase and can be expected for analytical purposes.

文摘Aqueous rechargeable ammonium-ion batteries(AIBs)have drew considerable attention because of their capacity for high rates,low cost,and high safety.However,developing desired electrodes requiring stable structure in the aqueous fast ammoniation/de-ammoniation becomes urgent.Herein,an ammonium ion full battery using Cu_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)]_(2)(CuHCF)acting to be a cathode and barium vanadate(BVO)acting to be an anode is described.Its excellent electrochemical behavior of Prussian blue analogs and the perfectly matched lattice structure of NH_(4)^(+)is expected.And the open structure of vanadium compounds satisfies the fast ammoniation/de-ammoniation of NH4+is also achieved.As a result of these synergistic effects,the BVO//CuHCF full cell retains 80.5 percent of its capacity following 1000 cycling.These achievements provide new ideas for developing low-cost and long-life AIBs.
