文摘In this study,a string of Cr-Mnco-modified activated coke catalysts(XCryMn1-y/AC)were prepared to investigate toluene and Hg^(0) removal performance.Multifarious characterizations including XRD,TEM,SEM,in situ DRIFTS,BET,XPS and H_(2)-TPR showed that 4%Cr0.5Mn0.5/AC had excellent physicochemical properties and exhibited the best toluene and Hg^(0) removal efficiency at 200℃.By varying the experimental gas components and conditions,it was found that too large weight hourly space velocity would reduce the removal efficiency of toluene and Hg^(0).Although O_(2) promoted the abatement of toluene and Hg^(0),the inhibitory role of H_(2)O and SO_(2) offset the promoting effect of O_(2) to some extent.Toluene significantly inhibited Hg^(0) removal,resulting from that toluene was present at concentrations orders of magnitude greater than mercury’s or the catalyst was more prone to adsorb toluene,while Hg^(0) almost exerted non-existent influence on toluene elimination.The mechanistic analysis showed that the forms of toluene and Hg^(0) removal included both adsorption and oxidation,where the high-valent metal cations and oxygen vacancy clusters promoted the redox cycle of Cr^(3+)+Mn^(3+)/Mn^(4+)+Cr^(6+)+Mn^(2+),which facilitated the conversion and replenishment of reactive oxygen species in the oxidation process,and even the CrMn_(1.5)O_(4) spinel structure could provide a larger catalytic interface,thus enhancing the adsorption/oxidation of toluene and Hg^(0).Therefore,its excellent physicochemical properties make it a costeffective potential industrial catalyst with outstanding synergistic toluene and Hg^(0) removal performance and preeminent resistance to H_(2)O and SO_(2).

文摘In this work,a new process for achieving the recovery of elemental sulfur by utilizing a fluidized catalytic cracking(FCC) riser reactor for SOxtreatment(FCC-DeSOx) is proposed.The process leverages the high temperatures and hydrocarbon concentrations in the FCC riser reactor to convert SOxinto H_(2)S.Subsequently,H_(2)S,along with the cracked gas,is processed downstream to produce sulfur.Thermodynamic analysis of the key reduction reactions in the FCC-DeSOxprocess revealed that complete conversion of SOxto H_(2)S is feasible in the dry gas(hydrogen-rich) prelift zone,as well as the upper and lower zones of the riser,upon achieving thermodynamic equilibrium.Experimental studies were conducted to replicate the conditions of these reaction zones using a low concentration of hydrogen gas as the reducing agent.Through process optimization,investigation of the minimum reaction time,and kinetic studies,the potential of this method for the complete reduction of SOxwas further confirmed.

文摘The burgeoning growth in electric vehicles and portable energy storage systems necessitates advances in the energy density and cost-effectiveness of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),areas where lithium-rich manganese-based oxide(LLO)materials naturally stand out.Despite their inherent advantages,these materials encounter significant practical hurdles,including low initial Coulombic efficiency(ICE),diminished cycle/rate performance,and voltage fading during cycling,hindering their widespread adoption.In response,we introduce an ionic-electronic dual-conductive(IEDC)surface control strategy that integrates an electronically conductive graphene framework with an ionically conductive heteroepitaxial spinel Li_(4)Mn_(5)O_(12)layer.Prolonged electrochemical and structural analyses demonstrate that this IEDC heterostructure effectively minimizes polarization,mitigates structural distortion,and enhances electronic/ionic diffusion.Density functional theory calculations highlight an extensive Li^(+)percolation network and lower Li^(+)migration energies at the layered-spinel interface.The designed LLO cathode with IEDC interface engineering(LMOSG)exhibits improved ICE(82.9%at 0.1 C),elevated initial discharge capacity(296.7 mAh g^(-1)at 0.1 C),exceptional rate capability(176.5 mAh g^(-1)at 5 C),and outstanding cycle stability(73.7%retention at 5 C after 500 cycles).These findings and the novel dual-conductive surface architecture design offer promising directions for advancing highperformance electrode materials.

文摘Anaerobic digestion(AD),as an eco-friendly biological process,shows potential for the decomposition of leachate produced by waste incineration power plants.In this study,the effects of Fe oxides nano-modified pumice(FNP)were investigated on the fresh leachate AD process.Firstly,a simple hydrothermal method was used to prepare FNP,then introduced into the UASB reactor to evaluate its AD efficiency.Results showed that the inclusion of FNP could shorten the lag phase by 10 days compared to the control group.Furthermore,cumulative methane production in the FNP group was enhanced by 20.11%.Mechanistic studies suggested that hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis in the FNP group was more pronounced due to the influence of key enzymes(i.e.,dehydrogenase and coenzyme F420).Microbial community analysis demonstrated that FNP could enhance the abundance of Methanosarcina,Proteobacteria,Sytrophomonas,and Limnobacter,which might elevate enzyme activity involved in methane production.These findings suggest that FNP might mediate interspecies electron transfer among these microorganisms,which is essential for efficient leachate treatment.

文摘Proton ceramic fuel cell efficiently converts chemical energy into electrical energy,representing a pivotal component of future energy systems.However,its current performance is hindered by limitations in cathode and electrolyte materials,thereby impeding commercialization.Anion doping emerges as a promising strategy to enhance the electrochemical efficiency of perovskite-based cathodes and electrolytes.However,integrating this approach within a single-cell structure still requires further research.In this study,F-doped perovskite oxides BaCo_(0.4)Fe_(0.4)Zr_(0.1)Y_(0.1)O_(2.9-δ)F_(0.1)(BCFZYF)and BaZr_(0.1)Ce_(0.7)Y_(0.1)Yb_(0.1)O_(2.9-δ)F_(0.1)(BZCYYbF)were synthesized for use as the cathode and electrolyte,respectively,in proton ceramic fuel cells.Our findings demonstrate that F-doped perovskite oxides exhibit superior electrochemical performance and enhanced structural stability.Furthermore,doping both electrodes and electrolytes with F ions improves their interfacial compatibility.The cell configuration BCFZYF|BZCYYbF|Ni-BZCYYbF achieved a peak power density of 998 mW·cm^(−2)at 650℃using H_(2)as fuel,and it maintained stable operation for over 400 h at 550℃with a current density of 400 mA·cm^(−2).This research underscores an effective strategy for enhancing the performance and durability of proton ceramic fuel cells.

文摘The Kitaev honeycomb model has received significant attention due to its exactly solvable quantum spin liquid ground states and fractionalized excitations.Layered cobalt oxides have been considered as a promising platform for realizing this model.However,in contrast to the conventional wisdom regarding the single-q zigzag magnetic order inferred from previous studies of the candidate materials Na_(2)IrO_(3) and α-RuCl_(3),recent experiments on two representative honeycomb cobalt oxides,hexagonal Na_(2)Co_(2)TeO_(6) and monoclinic Na_(3)Co_(2)SbO_(6),have uncovered evidence for more complex multi-q zigzag order variants.This review surveys the experimental strategies used to distinguish between single-and multi-q orders,along with the crystallographic symmetries of cobalt oxides,in comparison with previously studied systems.The general formation mechanism of multi-q order is also briefly discussed.The goal is to provide a solid ground for examining the relevance of multi-q order in honeycomb cobalt oxides and discuss its implications for the microscopic model of these intriguing quantum magnets.

文摘Cryogenic magnetic cooling based on the principle of the magnetocaloric effects(MCEs)of magnetic solids has been recognized as an alternative cooling technology due to its significant economic and social benefits.Designing novel magnetic materials with good magnetocaloric performance is a prerequisite for practical applications.In this study,three gadolinium-transition metal-based high entropy oxides(HEOs)of Gd(Fe_(1/4)Ni_(1/4)Al_(1/4)Cr_(1/4))O_(3),Gd(Fe_(1/5)Ni_(1/5)Al_(1/5)Cr_(1/5)Co_(1/5))O_(3),and Gd(Fe_(1/6)Ni_(1/6)Al_(1/6)Cr_(1/6)Co_(1/6)Mn_(1/6))O_(3)were designed and systematically characterized regarding their structural and cryogenic magnetic properties.These HEOs were confirmed to crystallize into a single-phase perovskite-type orthorhombic structure with a homogeneous microstructure,reveal a second-order magnetic transition at low temperatures,and exhibit significant cryogenic MCEs.The magnetocaloric performances of the present HEOs,identified by magnetic entropy changes,relative cooling power,and temperature-averaged entropy changes,were com-parable with recently reported candidate materials.The present study indicates potential applications for cryogenic magnetic cooling of the present HEOs and provides meaningful clues for designing and exploring HEOs with good cryogenic magnetocaloric performances.

文摘Nitrogen oxides(NO_(x))are crucial in tropospheric photochemical ozone(O_(3))production and oxidation capacity.Currently,the widely used NO_(x)measurement technique is chemiluminescence(CL)(CL-NO_(x)),which tends to overestimate NO_(2)due to atmospheric oxidation products of NO_(x)(i.e.,NO_(z)).We developed and characterized a NO_(x)measurement system using the cavity attenuated phase shift(CAPS)technique(CAPS-NO_(x)),which is free from interferences with nitrogen-containing species.The NO_(x)measured by the CAPS-NO_(x)and CL-NO_(x)analyzers were compared.Results show that both analyzers showed consistent measurement results for NO,but the NO_(2)measured by the CAPS-NO_(x)analyzer(NO_(2)_CAPS)was mostly lower than that measured by the CL-NO_(x)analyzer(NO_(2)_CL),which led to the deviations in O_(3)formation sensitivity regime and O_(x)(=O_(3)+NO_(2))sources(i.e.,regional background and photochemically produced O_(x))determined by the ozone production efficiencies(OPE)calculated from NO_(2)_CL and NO_(2)_CAPS.Overall,OPE_CL exceeded OPE_CAPS by 18.9%,which shifted 3 out of 13 observation days from the VOCs-limited to the transition regime when judging using OPE_CL,as compared to calculations using OPE_CAPS.During the observation period,days dominated by regional background O_(x)accounted for 46%and 62%when determined using NO_(2)_CL and NO_(2)_CAPS,respectively.These findings suggest that the use of the CL-NO_(x)analyzer tends to underestimate both the VOCs-limited regime and the regional background O_(x)dominated days.The newly built CAPS-NO_(x)analyzer here can promote the accurate measurement of NO_(2),which is meaningful for diagnosing O_(3)formation regimes and O_(x)sources.

文摘As an important sustainable energy source,Li-ion batteries have been widely used in mobile phones,electric vehicles,large-scale energy storage and aerospace.However,due to the inevitable safety risks of traditional liquid Li-ion batteries,the use of all-solid-state batteries to replace organic liquid electrolytes has become one of the most effective ways to solve safety problem.Solid-state electrolyte(SSE)is the core part of allsolid-state Li-ion battery,and ideal SSE has the characteristics of high ionic conductivity,wide enough electrochemical stability window,suitable mechanical strength and excellent chemical stability,the first among which is particularly an essential prerequisite.While,so far only a few SSEs exhibit the Li ionic conductivities higher than 10^(-4) S/cm at room temperature.

文摘High-entropy materials(HEMs),which are typically composed of five or more elements in near-equimolar ratios with concentrations ranging from 5%to 35%,have distinct elemental compositions and geometric properties that allow for the development of advanced electrocatalysts for renewable energy conversion systems.The highentropy effect,crystal dislocations,cocktail effect,and slow diffusion in high-entropy layered double hydroxides(HE-LDHs)and amorphous materials(HE-AMs)have all been shown to boost electrocatalytic water oxidation performance significantly.These materials exhibit remarkable activity and stability in both alkaline and acidic conditions.HE-AMs,in particular,benefit from a variety of defects,including coordinatively unsaturated sites and loosely connected atoms,which are critical to their improved catalytic capabilities.HEMs engineering and precise nanostructure control can address the low intrinsic activity,restricted active sites,and poor conductivity of binary and ternary amorphous and LDH catalysts.This study discusses current advances in HE-LDHs and HE-AMs for water electrolysis,including synthesis methods,structural features,active site identification by DFT calculations,and their applications in water electrocatalysis.The presentation also covers potential problems and future directions for developing these materials in energy conversion device systems.

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Layered transition metal oxides have emerged as promising cathode materials for sodium ion batteries.However,irreversible phase transitions cause structural distortion and cation rearrangement,leading to sluggish Na+dynamics and rapid capacity decay.In this study,we propose a medium-entropy cathode by simultaneously introducing Fe,Mg,and Li dopants into a typical P2-type Na_(0.75)Ni_(0.25)Mn_(0.75)O_(2)cathode.The modified Na_(0.75)Ni_(0.2125)Mn_(0.6375)Fe_(0.05)Mg_(0.05)Li_(0.05)O_(2)cathode predominantly exhibits a main P2 phase(93.5%)with a minor O3 phase(6.5%).Through spectroscopy techniques and electrochemical investigations,we elucidate the redox mechanisms of Ni^(2+/3+/4+),Mn^(3+/4+),Fe^(3+/4+),and O_(2)-/O_(2)^(n-)during charging/discharging.The medium-entropy doping mitigates the detrimental P2-O_(2)phase transition at high-voltage,replacing it with a moderate and reversible structural evolution(P2-OP4),thereby enhancing structural stability.Consequently,the modified cathode exhibits a remarkable rate capacity of 108.4 mAh·g^(-1)at 10C,with a capacity retention of 99.0%after 200 cycles at 1C,82.5%after 500 cycles at 5C,and 76.7%after 600 cycles at 10C.Furthermore,it also demonstrates superior electrochemical performance at high cutoff voltage of 4.5 V and extreme temperature(55 and 0℃).This work offers solutions to critical challenges in sodium ion batteries cathode materials.
文摘With the aim to effectively depolymerize polyethylene terephthalate(PET)under mild reaction conditions,PET methanolysis and dimethyl terephthalate(DMT)hydrolysis are integrated in a catalyst system.Firstly,methanolysis of PET to DMT is achieved over Cu-Mg-Al oxide catalyst.Next,terephthalic acid(TPA)is prepared by DMT hydrolysis.It is found that hydrolysis of DMT to TPA can be promoted by introducing trace amount of water in this catalyst system.CuO-MgO-4.5Al_2O_(3)catalyst demonstrates the excellent catalytic performance for the depolymerization of PET with high conversion rate and TPA yield(100%and 99.5%,respectively)after reaction at 160℃for 6 h,which provides a new idea for the depolymerization of PET.
文摘In the paper,we report a highly robust and porous bimetallic Ti-MOF(designated Mg_(2)Ti-ABTC)by utiliz-ing a trinuclear[Mg_(2)TiO(COO)_(6)]cluster and a tetradentate H_(4)ABTC(3,3′,5,5′-azobenzene tetracarboxylic acid)ligand.Mg_(2)Ti-ABTC exhibited permanent porosity for N_(2),CO_(2),CH_(4),C_(2)H_(2),C_(2)H_(4),and C_(2)H_(6)gas adsorption.Further-more,Mg_(2)Ti-ABTC exhibited outstanding photocatalytic activity in the oxidation of aromatic sulfides to the corre-sponding sulfoxides under ambient air conditions.Mechanism studies reveal that photoinduced holes(h^(+)),the super-oxide radical(·O_(2)^(-)),and singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2))are pivotal species involved in the photocatalytic oxidation reaction.
