文摘The cobalt-free Mn-based Li-rich layered oxide material has the advantages of low cost,high energy density,and good performance at low temperatures,and is the promising choice for energy storage batteries.However,the long-cycling stability of batteries needs to be improved.Herein,the Mn-based Li-rich cathode materials with small amounts of Li2 MnO3 crystal domains and gradient doping of Al and Ti elements from the surface to the bulk have been developed to improve the structure and interface stability.Then the batteries with a high energy density of 600 Wh kg^(-1),excellent capacity retention of 99.7%with low voltage decay of 0.03 mV cycle^(-1) after 800 cycles,and good rates performances can be achieved.Therefore,the structure and cycling stability of low voltage Mn-based Li-rich cathode materials can be significantly improved by the bulk structure design and interface regulation,and this work has paved the way for developing low-cost and high-energy Mn-based energy storage batteries with long lifetime.

文摘Li-rich Mn-based oxides(LRMO)are of great significance in achieving high energy density all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs),owing to their high theoretical capacity and high operation voltage.Unfortunately,their practical application is hindered by severe interface degradation due to the chemical oxidation and electrochemical decomposition of solid electrolytes(SEs),driven by high-active oxygen and electron sources from LRMO.Herein,an interfacial modification strategy is proposed to stabilize the surface lattice oxygen of LRMO and reduce electronic conduction between LRMO and SEs,synergistically.Accordingly,the byproducts from chemical oxidation(InO^(-))and electrochemical decomposition(LiCl^(-))are largely suppressed,leading to superior interfacial transport with the lowest resistance.Consequently,the ASSLB achieves a high reversible capacity of 227.9 mA h g^(-1)at 0.1 C,a cycling stability of 90.1%capacity retention after 200 cycles at 0.1 C,and a superior rate capability with a capacity of81.7 m A h g^(-1)at 3.0 C.This study enriches the fundamental understanding of LRMO/SEs interfacial evolution during the electrochemical cycling and the proposed interfacial modification strategy benefits the future design of Li-rich compounds for ASSLBs.

文摘Developing a high-efficiency catalyst with both superior low-temperature activity and good N_(2)selectivity is still challenging for the NH_(3)selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO_(x)from mobile sources.Herein,we demonstrate the improved low-temperature activity and N_(2)selectivity by regulating the redox and acidic properties of MnCe oxides supported on etched ZSM-5 supports.The etched ZSM-5 enables the highly dispersed state of MnCeOx species and strong interaction between Mn and Ce species,which promotes the reduction of CeO2,facilitates electron transfer from Mn to Ce,and generates more Mn^(4+)and Ce^(3+)species.The strong redox capacity contributes to forming the reactive nitrate species and-NH_(2)species from oxidative dehydrogenation of NH_(3).Moreover,the adsorbed NH_(3)and-NH_(2)species are the reactive intermediates that promote the formation of N_(2).This work demonstrates an effective strategy to enhance the low-temperature activity and N_(2)selectivity of SCR catalysts,contributing to the NO_(x)control for the low-temperature exhaust gas during the cold-start of diesel vehicles.

文摘A pilot-scale filtration system was adopted to prepare filter media with catalytic activity to remove manganese(Mn^(2+))and ammonium(NH_(4)^(+)-N).Three different combinations of oxidants(KMnO_(4)and K_(2)FeO_(4))and reductants(MnSO_(4)and FeCl_(2))were used during the start-up period.Filter R3 started up by KMnO_(4)and FeCl_(2)(Mn^(7+)→MnO_(x))exhibited excellent catalytic property,and the NH_(4)^(+)-N and Mn^(2+)removal efficiency reached over 80%on the 10th and 35th days,respectively.Filter R1 started up by K_(2)FeO_(4)and MnSO_(4)(MnO_(x)←Mn^(2+))exhibited the worst catalytic property.Filter R2 started up by KMnO_(4)and MnSO_(4)(Mn^(7+)→MnO_(x)←Mn^(2+))were in between.According to Zeta potential results,the Mn-based oxides(MnO_(x))formed by Mn^(7+)→MnO_(x)performed the highest pHIEP and pHPZC.The higher the pHIEP and pHPZC,the more unfavorable the cation adsorption.However,it was inconsistent with its excellent Mn^(2+)and NH_(4)^(+)-N removal abilities,implying that catalytic oxidation played a key role.Combined with XRD and XPS analysis,the results showed that the MnO_(x)produced by the reduction of KMnO_(4)showed early formation of buserite crystals,high degree of amorphous,high content of Mn3+and lattice oxygen with the higher activity to form defects.The above results showed that MnO_(x)produced by the reduction of KMnO_(4)was more conducive to the formation of active species for catalytic oxidation of NH_(4)^(+)-N and Mn^(2+)removal.This study provides new insights on the formation mechanisms of the active MnO_(x)that could catalytic oxidation of NH_(4)^(+)-N and Mn^(2+).

文摘Green hydrogen from water splitting has emerged as a critical energy vector with the potential to spearhead the global transition to a fossil fuel-independent society.The field of catalysis has been revolutionized by single-atom catalysts(SACs),which exhibit unique and intricate interactions between atomically dispersed metal atoms and their supports.Recently,bimetallic SACs(bimSACs)have garnered significant attention for leveraging the synergistic functions of two metal ions coordinated on appropriately designed supports.BimSACs offer an avenue for rich metal–metal and metal–support cooperativity,potentially addressing current limitations of SACs in effectively furnishing transformations which involve synchronous proton–electron exchanges,substrate activation with reversible redox cycles,simultaneous multi-electron transfer,regulation of spin states,tuning of electronic properties,and cyclic transition states with low activation energies.This review aims to encapsulate the growing advancements in bimSACs,with an emphasis on their pivotal role in hydrogen generation via water splitting.We subsequently delve into advanced experimental methodologies for the elaborate characterization of SACs,elucidate their electronic properties,and discuss their local coordination environment.Overall,we present comprehensive discussion on the deployment of bimSACs in both hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction,the two half-reactions of the water electrolysis process.

文摘S and Co co-doped carbon catalysts were prepared via pyrolysis of MOF-71 and thiourea mixtures at 800℃at a mass ratio of MOF-71 to thiourea of 1:0.1 to effectively activate peroxymonosulfate(PMS)for methylene blue(MB)degradation.The effects of two different mixing routes were identified on the MB degradation performance.Particularly,the catalyst obtained by the alcohol solvent evaporation(MOF-AEP)mixing route could degrade 95.60%MB(50 mg/L)within 4 min(degradation rate:K=0.78 min^(-1)),which was faster than that derived from the direct grinding method(MOF-DGP,80.97%,K=0.39 min^(-1)).X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the Co-S content of MOF-AEP(43.39at%)was less than that of MOF-DGP(54.73at%),and the proportion of C-S-C in MOF-AEP(13.56at%)was higher than that of MOF-DGP(10.67at%).Density functional theory calculations revealed that the adsorption energy of Co for PMS was -2.94 eV when sulfur was doped as C-S-C on the carbon skeleton,which was higher than that when sulfur was doped next to cobalt in the form of Co-S bond(-2.86 eV).Thus,the C-S-C sites might provide more contributions to activate PMS compared with Co-S.Furthermore,the degradation parameters,including pH and MOF-AEP dosage,were investigated.Finally,radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)measurements revealed that ^(1)O_(2)might be the primary catalytic species,whereas·O~(2-)might be the secondary one in degrading MB.

文摘The pursuit of alternative fuel generation technologies has gained momentum due to the diminishing reserves of fossil fuels and global warming from increased CO_(2)emission.Among the proposed methods,the hydrogenation of CO_(2)to produce marketable carbon-based products like methanol and ethanol is a practical approach that offers great potential to reduce CO_(2)emissions.Although significant volumes of methanol are currently produced from CO_(2),developing highly efficient and stable catalysts is crucial for further enhancing conversion and selectivity,thereby reducing process costs.An in-depth examination of the differences and similarities in the reaction pathways for methanol and ethanol production highlights the key factors that drive C-C coupling.Identifying these factors guides us toward developing more effective catalysts for ethanol synthesis.In this paper,we explore how different catalysts,through the production of various intermediates,can initiate the synthesis of methanol or ethanol.The catalytic mechanisms proposed by spectroscopic techniques and theoretical calculations,including operando X-ray methods,FTIR analysis,and DFT calculations,are summarized and presented.The following discussion explores the structural properties and composition of catalysts that influence C-C coupling and optimize the conversion rate of CO_(2)into ethanol.Lastly,the review examines recent catalysts employed for selective methanol and ethanol production,focusing on single-atom catalysts.

文摘Ni-based catalysts are widely applied in the hydrodeoxygenation of lignin derivatives via C-O cleavage for the production of cycloalkanes.However,they often have difficulty in achieving high activity under mild conditions and exhibit relatively poor stability,and rare studies focus on the cleavage of the stubborn interunit C-C linkages.To address this issue,we developed a Ni@AlPO_(4)/Al_(2)O_(3)catalyst in which the surface of Ni nanoparticles was decorated by AlPO_(4)species,demonstrating excellent catalytic activity and stability in the C-C and C-O cleavages.In the hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol,this catalyst afforded99.1%conversion and 92.9%yield of cyclohexane under 1 MPa H_(2)at 230℃ for 2 h.More important,this catalyst maintained unchanged performance even after 6 runs with the conversion controlled at about50%,Mecha nistic investigations revealed that the moderate surface coverage of AlPO_(4)on Ni with the formation of Ni^(δ+)-AlPO_(4)interface significantly facilitated the conversion of methoxycyclohexanol and cyclohexanol to cyclohexane,whereas,excess coverage would also block the access to Ni site.Moreover,Ni@AlPO_(4)/Al_(2)O_(3)demonstrated broad applicability in the C-O cleavage of various typical lignin monomers and dimers into cycloalkanes.To our delight,this catalyst also displayed pretty good activity even in the simultaneous cleavage of C-C linkages and C-O bonds for the lignin-derived C-C dimers,achieving cycloalkanes as final products.As a consequence,a 27.1 wt%yield of monocycloalkanes was obtained in the depolymerization of poplar lignin with both C-C and C-O cleavages.

文摘Exploiting non-precious metal catalysts with excellent oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)performance for energy devices is paramount essential for the green and sustainable society development.Herein,low-cost,high-performance biomass-derived ORR catalysts with an asymmetric Fe-N_(3)P configuration was prepared by a simple pyrolysis-etching technique,where carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC)was used as the carbon source,urea and 1,10-phenanthroline iron complex(FePhen)as additives,and Na_(3)PO_(4)as the phosphorus dopant and a pore-forming agent.The CMC-derived FeNPC catalyst displayed a large specific area(BET:1235 m^(2)g^(-1))with atomically dispersed Fe-N_(3)P active sites,which exhibited superior ORR activity and stability in alkaline solution(E_(1/2)=0.90 V vs.RHE)and Zn-air batteries(P_(max)=149 mW cm^(-2))to commercial Pt/C catalyst(E_(1/2)=0.87 V,P_(max)=118 mW cm^(-2))under similar experimental conditions.This work provides a feasible and costeffective route toward highly efficient ORR catalysts and their application to Zn-air batteries for energy conversion.
文摘The efficient hydrogenolysis of esters to alkanes is the key protocol for producing advanced biofuels from renewable plant oils or fats.Due to the low reactivity of the carbonyl group in esters,a high reaction temperature(>250℃)is the prerequisite to ensure high conversion of esters.Here,we report a highly dispersed MoO_(x)-Ru/C bimetallic catalyst for the efficient hydrogenolysis of esters to alkanes under 150°C.The optimal catalyst exhibits>99%conversion of methyl stearate and 99%selectivity to diesel-range alkanes,reaching a high rate of up to 2.0 mmol gcat^(–1)h^(–1),5 times higher than that of Ru/C catalyst(MoO_(x)/C is inert).Integrated experimental and theoretical investigations attribute the high performance to the abundant MoO_(x)-Ru interfacial sites on the catalyst surface,which offers high activity for the C–O cleavage of esters.Furthermore,the dispersed MoO_(x)species significantly weaken the hydrocracking activity of the metallic Ru for C–C bonds,thus yielding alkane products without carbon loss.This study provides a facile and novel strategy for the design of high-performance heterogeneous catalysts for the hydrodeoxygenation of biomass-derived esters to alkane products.

文摘Novel hydrogen storage materials have propelled progress in hydrogen storage technologies.Magnesium hydride(MgH_(2))is a highly promising candidate.Nevertheless,several drawbacks,including the need for elevated thermal conditions,sluggish dehydrogena-tion kinetics,and high thermodynamic stability,limit its practical application.One effective method of addressing these challenges is cata-lyst doping,which effectively boosts the hydrogen storage capability of Mg-based materials.Herein,we review recent advancements in catalyst-doped MgH_(2) composites,with particular focus on multicomponent and high-entropy catalysts.Structure-property relationships and catalytic mechanisms in these doping strategies are also summarized.Finally,based on existing challenges,we discuss future research directions for the development of Mg-based hydrogen storage systems.
文摘To improve the catalytic performance of La_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.2)Fe_(0.8)O_(3)(LSCF)towards carbon soot,we utilized the impregnation method to incorporate Ag into the prepared LSCF catalyst.We conducted a series of characterization tests and evaluated the soot catalytic activity of the composite catalyst by comparing it with the LaCoO_(3) group,LaFeO_(3) group,and catalyst-free group.The results indicate that the Ag-LSCF composite catalyst exhibits the highest soot catalytic activity,with the characteristic temperature values of 376.3,431.1,and 473.9℃at 10%,50%,and 90%carbon soot conversion,respectively.These values are 24.8,20.2,and 23.1℃lower than those of the LSCF group.This also shows that LSCF can improve the catalytic activity of soot after compounding with Ag,and reflects the necessity of using catalysts in soot combustion reaction.XPS characterization and BET test show that Ag-LSCF has more abundant surface-adsorbed oxygen species,larger specific surface area and pore volume than LSCF,which also proves that Ag-LSCF has higher soot catalytic activity.

文摘NH_(3)-SCR(SCR:Selective catalytic reduction)is an effective technology for the de-NO_(x)process from both mobile and stationary pollution sources,and the most commonly used catalysts are the vanadia-based catalysts.An innovative V_(2)O_(5)-CeO_(2)/TaTiO_(x)catalyst for NO_(x)removal was prepared in this study.The influences of Ce and Ta in the V_(2)O_(5)-CeO_(2)/TaTiO_(x)catalyst on the SCR performance and physicochemical properties were investigated.The V_(2)O_(5)-CeO_(2)/TaTiO_(x)catalyst not only exhibited excellent SCR activity in a wide temperature window,but also presented strong resistance to H_(2)Oand SO_(2)at 275◦C.A series of characterizationmethods was used to study the catalysts,including H2-temperature programmed reduction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,NH_(3)-temperature programmed desorption,etc.It was discovered that a synergistic effect existed between Ce and Ta species.The introduction of Ce and Ta enlarged the specific surface area,increased the amount of acid sites and the ratio of Ce^(3+),(V^(3+)+V^(4+))and Oα,and strengthened the redox capability which were related to synergistic effect between Ce and Ta species,significantly improving the NH_(3)-SCR activity.

文摘Catalyst–support interaction plays a crucial role in improving the catalytic activity of oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Here we modulate the catalyst–support interaction in polyaniline-supported Ni_(3)Fe oxide(Ni_(3)Fe oxide/PANI)with a robust hetero-interface,which significantly improves oxygen evolution activities with an overpotential of 270 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2)and specific activity of 2.08 mA cm_(ECSA)^(-2)at overpotential of 300 mV,3.84-fold that of Ni_(3)Fe oxide.It is revealed that the catalyst–support interaction between Ni_(3)Fe oxide and PANI support enhances the Ni–O covalency via the interfacial Ni–N bond,thus promoting the charge and mass transfer on Ni_(3)Fe oxide.Considering the excellent activity and stability,rechargeable Zn-air batteries with optimum Ni_(3)Fe oxide/PANI are assembled,delivering a low charge voltage of 1.95 V to cycle for 400 h at 10 mA cm^(-2).The regulation of the effect of catalyst–support interaction on catalytic activity provides new possibilities for the future design of highly efficient OER catalysts.

文摘The soot emitted during the operation of diesel engine exhaust seriously threatens the human health and environment,so treating diesel engine exhaust is critical.At present,the most effective method for eliminating soot particles is post-treatment technology.Preparation of economically viable and highly active soot combustion catalysts is a pivotal element of post-treatment technology.In this study,different single-metal oxide catalysts with fibrous structures and alkali metal-modified hollow nanotubular Mn-based oxide catalysts were synthesized using centrifugal spinning method.Activity evaluation results showed that the manganese oxide catalyst has the best catalytic activity among the prepared single-metal oxide catalysts.Further research on alkali metal modification showed that doping alkali metals is beneficial for improving the oxidation state of manganese and generating a large number of reactive oxygen species.Combined with the structural effect brought by the hollow nanotube structure,the alkali metal-modified Mn-based oxide catalysts exhibit superior catalytic performance.Among them,the Cs-modified Mn-based oxide catalyst exhibits the best catalytic performance because of its rich active oxygen species,excellent NO oxidation ability,abundant Mn^(4+)ions(M^(n4)+/Mn^(n+)=64.78%),and good redox ability.The T_(10),T_(50),T_(90),and CO_(2)selectivity of the Cs-modified Mn-based oxide catalyst were 267°C,324°C,360°C,and 97.8%,respectively.

文摘Anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers(AEMWEs)for green hydrogen production have received intensive attention due to their feasibility of using earth-abundant NiFe-based catalysts.By introducing a third metal into NiFe-based catalysts to construct asymmetrical M-NiFe units,the d-orbital and electronic structures can be adjusted,which is an important strategy to achieve sufficient oxygen evolution reaction(OER)performance in AEMWEs.Herein,the ternary NiFeM(M:La,Mo)catalysts featured with distinct M-NiFe units and varying d-orbitals are reported in this work.Experimental and theoretical calculation results reveal that the doping of La leads to optimized hybridization between d orbital in NiFeM and 2p in oxygen,resulting in enhanced adsorption strength of oxygen intermediates,and reduced rate-determining step energy barrier,which is responsible for the enhanced OER performance.More critically,the obtained NiFeLa catalyst only requires 1.58 V to reach 1 A cm^(−2) in an anion exchange membrane electrolyzer and demonstrates excellent long-term stability of up to 600 h.
