文摘The application of industrial solid wastes as environmentally functional materials for air pollutants control has gained much attention in recent years due to its potential to reduce air pollution in a cost-effective manner.In this review,we investigate the development of industrialwaste-based functional materials for various gas pollutant removal and consider the relevant reaction mechanism according to different types of industrial solid waste.We see a recent effort towards achieving high-performance environmental functional materials via chemical or physical modification,in which the active components,pore size,and phase structure can be altered.The review will discuss the potential of using industrial solid wastes,these modified materials,or synthesized materials from raw waste precursors for the removal of air pollutants,including SO_(2),NO_(x),Hg^(0),H_(2)S,VOCs,and CO_(2).The challenges still need to be addressed to realize this potential and the prospects for future research fully.The suggestions for future directions include determining the optimal composition of these materials,calculating the real reaction rate and turnover frequency,developing effective treatment methods,and establishing chemical component databases of raw industrial solid waste for catalysts/adsorbent preparation.

文摘Protonic solid oxide electrolysis cells(P-SOECs)are a promising technology for water electrolysis to produce green hydrogen.However,there are still challenges related key materials and anode/electrolyte interface.P-SOECs with Zr-rich electrolyte,called Zr-rich side P-SOECs,possess high thermodynamically stability under high steam concentrations but the large reaction resistances and the current leakage,thus the inferior performances.In this study,an efficient functional interlayer Ba_(0.95)La_(0.05)Fe_(0.8)Zn_(0.2)O_(3-δ)(BLFZ)in-between the anode and the electrolyte is developed.The electrochemical performances of P-SOECs are greatly enhanced because the BLFZ can greatly increase the interface contact,boost anode reaction kinetics,and increase proton injection into electrolyte.As a result,the P-SOEC yields high current density of 0.83 A cm^(-2) at 600℃ in 1.3 Vamong all the reported Zr-rich side cells.This work not only offers an efficient functional interlayer for P-SOECs but also holds the potential to achieve P-SOECs with high performances and long-term stability.

文摘Solid oxide electrolysis cells(SOECs)can effectively convert CO_(2)into high value-added CO fuel.In this paper,Sc-doped Sr_(2)Fe_(1.5)Mo_(0.3)Sc_(0.2)O_(6−δ)(SFMSc)perovskite oxide material is synthesized via solid-phase method as the cathode for CO_(2)electrolysis by SOECs.XRD confirms that SFMSc exhibits a stable cubic phase crystal structure.The experimental results of TPD,TG,EPR,CO_(2)-TPD further demonstrate that Sc-doping increases the concentration of oxygen vacancy in the material and the chemical adsorption capacity of CO_(2)molecules.Electrochemical tests reveal that SFMSc single cell achieves a current density of 2.26 A/cm^(2) and a lower polarization impedance of 0.32Ω·cm^(2) at 800°C under the applied voltage of 1.8 V.And no significant performance attenuation or carbon deposition is observed after 80 h continuous long-term stability test.This study provides a favorable support for the development of SOEC cathode materials with good electro-catalytic performance and stability.

文摘Reversible solid oxide cell(RSOC)is a new energy conversion device with significant applications,especially for power grid peaking shaving.However,the reversible conversion process of power generation/energy storage poses challenges for the performance and stability of air electrodes.In this work,a novel high-entropy perovskite oxide La_(0.2)Pr_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Sm_(0.2)Sr_(0.2)Co_(0.8)Fe_(0.2)O_(3−δ)(HE-LSCF)is proposed and investigated as an air electrode in RSOC.The electrochemical behavior of HE-LSCF was studied as an air electrode in both fuel cell and electrolysis modes.The polarization impedance(Rp)of the HE-LSCF electrode is only 0.25Ω·cm^(2) at 800℃ in an air atmosphere.Notably,at an electrolytic voltage of 2 V and a temperature of 800℃,the current density reaches up to 1.68 A/cm^(2).The HE-LSCF air electrode exhibited excellent reversibility and stability,and its electrochemical performance remains stable after 100 h of reversible operation.With these advantages,HE-LSCF is shown to be an excellent air electrode for RSOC.

文摘Minimizing the thermal expansion coefficient(TEC)mismatch between the cathode and electrolyte in solid oxide fuel cells is crucial for achieving stable,durable operation and high performance.Recently,materials with negative thermal expansion(NTE)have at-tracted significant attention as effective additives for tailoring the thermomechanical properties of electrodes and enhancing cell durability.In this work,for the first time,single-phase NTE perovskite Sm_(0.85)Zn_(0.15)MnO_(3−δ)(SZM15)was successfully synthesized via the sol-gel method,eliminating the unwanted ZnO phase typically observed in materials obtained through the conventional solid-state reaction route.The sol-gel approach proved highly advantageous,offering low cost,robustness,excellent chemical homogeneity,precise compositional control,and high phase purity.After optimization of synthesis parameters,a negative TEC of approximately−6.5×10^(−6)K^(−1)was achieved in the 400-850℃range.SZM15 was then incorporated as an additive(10wt%-50wt%)into a SmBa0.5Sr0.5CoCuO_(5+δ)(SBSCCO)cathode to tune the thermomechanical properties with a La_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)Ga_(0.8)Mg_(0.2)O_(3−δ)(LSGM)electrolyte,achieving a minimal TEC mismatch of only 1%.Notably,the SBSCCO+10wt%SZM15 composite cathode exhibited the lowest polarization resistance of 0.019Ω·cm^(2)at 900℃,showing approximately 70%lower than that of the pristine cathode.Excellent long-term stability after 100 h of operation was achieved.In addition,a high peak power density of 680 mW·cm^(−2)was achieved in a Ni-YSZ(yttria-stabilized zirconia)|YSZ|Ce_(0.9)Gd_(0.1)O_(2−δ)(GDC10)|SBSCCO+10wt%SZM15 anode-supported fuel cell at 850℃,highlighting the effectiveness of incorporating NTE materials as a promising strategy for regulating the thermomechanical properties and improving the long-term stability of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells(IT-SOFCs).

文摘Objective Burning solid cooking fuel contributes to household air pollution and is associated with frailty.However,how solid cooking fuel use contributes to the development of frailty has not been well illustrated.Methods This study recruited 8,947 participants aged≥45 years from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study,2011–2018.Group-based trajectory modeling was employed to identify frailty trajectories.Multinomial logistic regression was used to assess the association between solid cooking fuel use and frailty trajectories.Population-attributable fractions were used to estimate the frailty burden from solid fuel use.Results We identified three frailty trajectories:low-stable(n=5,789),moderate-increasing(n=2,603),and fast-increasing(n=555).Solid fuel use was associated with higher odds of being in the moderate-increasing(OR:1.24,95%CI:1.08–1.42)and fast-increasing(OR:1.48,95%CI:1.14–1.92)trajectories.These associations were strengthened by longer solid fuel use(P for trend<0.001).Switching to clean fuel significantly reduced the risk of being in these trajectories compared with persistent solid fuel users.Without solid fuel,8%of moderate-and 19%of fast-increasing trajectories demonstrated frailty development like the low-stable group.Conclusion Solid cooking fuel use is associated with frailty trajectories in middle-aged and older Chinese populations.

文摘All-solid-state Li batteries(ASSLBs)using solid electrolytes(SEs)have gained significant attention in recent years considering the safety issue and their high energy density.Despite these advantages,the commercialization of ASSLBs still faces challenges regarding the electrolyte/electrodes interfaces and growth of Li dendrites.Elemental doping is an effective and direct method to enhance the performance of SEs.Here,we report an Al-F co-doping strategy to improve the overall properties including ion conductivity,high voltage stability,and cathode and anode compatibility.Particularly,the Al-F co-doping enables the formation of a thin Li-Al alloy layer and fluoride interphases,thereby constructing a relatively stable interface and promoting uniform Li deposition.The similar merits of Al-F co-doping are also revealed in the Li-argyrodite series.ASSLBs assembled with these optimized electrolytes gain good electrochemical performance,demonstrating the universality of Al-F co-doping towards advanced SEs.

文摘Solid oxide cells(SOCs),which include solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs),symmetrical solid oxide cells(S-SOCs),and reversible solid oxide cells(R-SOCs),are considered key technologies for driving low-carbon and green revolution in the energy sector.Because of their clean,low-cost,and high-efficiency characteristics,SOCs have great potential for energy conversion and storage.However,the further development of SOC technologies faces challenges,such as a lack of long-term operational stability of the cell system,high material cost under high-temperature operating conditions,and limited catalytic effects at low temperatures.Recently,high-entropy materials(HEMs)have demonstrated excellent performance and wide application prospects in catalytic reactions,energy storage,supercapacitors,and other fields owing to their unique atomic arrangement and the four core effects(high mixed entropy stabilization effect,sluggish dif-fusion effect,lattice distortion effect,and“cocktail”effect).HEMs provide a new perspective for solving the aforementioned problems in the field of SOCs.This comprehensive review summarizes the applications of HEMs in the three fundamental components of SOCs:elec-trodes,electrolytes,and interconnects,focusing on the role of HEMs in enhancing catalytic activity and conductivity while mitigating harmful gas poisoning.In addition,this review proposes possible development directions for HEMs in SOCs based on the current re-search progress,providing valuable reference for high-entropy designs aimed at further enhancing the performance of SOCs.
