Catalysts wer...Nitric oxide (NO) deep oxidation to dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) by ozone together with wet scrub-bing has become a promising technology for nitrogen-oxide (NOx) removal in industrial boilers. Catalysts were introduced to enhance the N2O5 formation rate with less ozone injection and leakage. A series of monometallic catalysts (manganese, cobalt, cerium, iron, copper, and chromium) as pre-pared by the sol-gel method were tested. The manganese oxides achieved an almost 80% conver-sion efficiency at an ozone (O3)/NO molar ratio of 2.0 in 0.12 s. The crystalline structure and porous parameters were determined. The thermodynamic reaction threshold of NO conversion to N2O5 is oxidation with an O3/NO molar ratio of 1.5. Spherical alumina was selected as the support to achieve the threshold, which was believed to improve the catalytic activity by increasing the surface area and the gas-solid contact time. Based on the manganese oxides, cerium, iron, chromium, cop-per, and cobalt were introduced as promoters. Cerium and iron improved the deep-oxidation effi-ciency compared with manganese/spherical alumina, with less than 50 mg/m3 of outlet NO + nitro-gen oxide, and less than 25 mg/m3 of residual ozone at an O3/NO molar ratio of 1.5. The other three metal oxides inhibited catalytic activity. X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption, hydrogen tempera-ture-programmed reduction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicate that the cata-lytic activity is affected by the synergistic action of NOx oxidation and ozone decomposition.展开更多

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Li-ion batteries(LIBs)with excellent cycling stability and high-energy densities have already occupied the commercial rechargeable battery market.Unfortunately,the high cost and intrinsic insecurity induced by organic electrolyte severely hinder their applications in large-scale energy storage.In contrast,aqueous Zn-ion batteries(ZIBs)are being developed as an ideal candidate because of their cheapness and high security.Benefiting from high operating voltage and acceptable specific capacity,recently,manganese-based oxides with different various crystal structures have been extensively studied as cathode materials for aqueous ZIBs.This review presents research progress of manganese-based cathodes in aqueous ZIBs,including various manganese-based oxides and their zinc storage mechanisms.In addition,we also discuss some optimization strategies that aim at improving the electrochemical performance of manganese-based cathodes,and the design of flexible aqueous ZIBs based on manganese-based cathodes(MZIBs).Finally,this review summarizes some valuable research directions,which will promote the further development of aqueous MZIBs.

文摘The growing need for higher energy density in rechargeable batteries necessitates the exploration of cathode materials with enhanced specific energy for lithium-ion batteries.Due to their exceptional cost-effectiveness and specific capacity,lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials(LRMs)obtain in-creasing attention in the pursuit of enhancing energy density and reducing costs.The implementation has faced obstacles in various applications due to substantial capacity and voltage degradation,insufficient safety performance,and restricted rate capability during cycling.These issues arise from the migration of transition metal,the release of oxygen,and structural transformation.In this review,we provide an integrated survey of the structure,lithium storage mechanism,challenges,and origins of LRMs,as well as recent advancements in various coating strategies.Particularly,the significance of optimizing the design of the cathode electrolyte interphase was emphasized to enhance electrode performance.Furthermore,future perspective was also addressed alongside in-situ measurements,advanced synthesis techniques,and the application of machine learning to overcome encountered challenges in LRMs.
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.

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Nitric oxide (NO) deep oxidation to dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) by ozone together with wet scrub-bing has become a promising technology for nitrogen-oxide (NOx) removal in industrial boilers. Catalysts were introduced to enhance the N2O5 formation rate with less ozone injection and leakage. A series of monometallic catalysts (manganese, cobalt, cerium, iron, copper, and chromium) as pre-pared by the sol-gel method were tested. The manganese oxides achieved an almost 80% conver-sion efficiency at an ozone (O3)/NO molar ratio of 2.0 in 0.12 s. The crystalline structure and porous parameters were determined. The thermodynamic reaction threshold of NO conversion to N2O5 is oxidation with an O3/NO molar ratio of 1.5. Spherical alumina was selected as the support to achieve the threshold, which was believed to improve the catalytic activity by increasing the surface area and the gas-solid contact time. Based on the manganese oxides, cerium, iron, chromium, cop-per, and cobalt were introduced as promoters. Cerium and iron improved the deep-oxidation effi-ciency compared with manganese/spherical alumina, with less than 50 mg/m3 of outlet NO + nitro-gen oxide, and less than 25 mg/m3 of residual ozone at an O3/NO molar ratio of 1.5. The other three metal oxides inhibited catalytic activity. X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption, hydrogen tempera-ture-programmed reduction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicate that the cata-lytic activity is affected by the synergistic action of NOx oxidation and ozone decomposition.

文摘Bisphenol A(BPA)is a pervasive endocrine disruptor that enters the environment through anthropogenic activities,posing significant risks to ecosystems and human health.Advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)are promising methods for the removal of organic microcontaminants in the environment.Biogenic manganese oxides(BMO)are reported as catalysts due to their transitionmetal nature,and are also readily generated bymanganeseoxidizing microorganisms in the natural environment,and therefore their roles and effects in AOPs-based environmental remediation should be investigated.However,biogenic ironmanganese oxides(BFMO)are actually generated rather than BMO due to the coexistence of ferrous ionswhich can be oxidized to iron oxides.Therefore,this study produced BFMO originating from a highly efficientmanganese-oxidizing fungus Cladosporium sp.XM01 and chose peroxymonosulfate(PMS)as a typical oxidant for the degradation of bisphenol A(BPA),a model organic micropollutant.Characterization results indicate that the formed BFMO was amorphouswith a lowcrystallinity.The BFMO/PMS system achieved a high degradation performance that 85%BPA was rapidly degraded within 60min,and therefore the contribution of BFMO cannot be ignored during PMS-based environmental remediation.Different from the findings of previous studies(mostly radicals and singlet oxygen),the degradationmechanism was first proven as a 100%electron-transfer pathway mediated by high-valence Mn under acidic conditions provided by PMS.The findings of this study provide new insights into the degradation mechanisms of pollutants using biogenic metal oxides in PMS activation and the contribution of their coexistence in AOPs-based environmental remediation.

文摘A chain of GdCe oxides boosted biochars derived from maize straw and sewage sludge(GdyCe1-y/MPBs)were fabricated for formaldehyde(HCHO)catalytic decomposition.The ingenerate relationship between the abatement performance and corresponding structural feature was comprehensively evaluated by XPS,in situ DRIFTS,BET,XRD,SEM and H_(2)-TPR.Meanwhile,10%Gd0.25Ce0.75/MPB exhibited excellent performance,favorable SO_(2) and moisture toleration over a broad temperature range from 160 to 320℃,where it achieved 96.8%removal efficiency with 90.5%selectivity at 200℃.The single or united effects of O_(2),SO_(2),H_(2)O on HCHO abatement over 10%Gd_(0.25)Ce_(0.75)/MPB were tested,and the findings demonstrated that the suppressive effects of SO_(2) and H_(2)O outweighed the promoting influence of O_(2) within a specific range.Gd and Ce co-modified MPB revealed superior HCHO removal capability in contrast to that of Gd or Ce severally modified MPB,ascribing to the synergistic effect of GdO_(x) and CeO_(x) and benefitting from the augmentation of surface area and total pore volume,the aggrandizement of surface active oxygen species,the promotion of redox ability and the inhibition crystallization of CeO_(x).According to in situ DRIFTS,a series of intermediates including formate species and dioxymethylene(DOM)were produced,which would eventually decompose into H_(2)O and CO_(2).In addition,the mass transfer and diffusion of the reactants along with the accessibility of the catalytic sites were enlarged by the hierarchical porous structure of the support,which were also answerable for its distinguished catalytic performance.Furthermore,10%Gd0.25Ce0.75/MPB possessed remarkable potential for industrial applications.

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The use of metal oxides has been extensively documented in the literature and applied in a variety of contexts,including but not limited to energy storage,chemical sensors,and biomedical applications.One of the most significant applications of metal oxides is heterogeneous catalysis,which represents a pivotal technology in industrial production on a global scale.Catalysts serve as the primary enabling agents for chemical reactions,and among the plethora of catalysts,metal oxides including magnesium oxide(MgO),ceria(CeO_(2))and titania(TiO_(2)),have been identified to be particularly effective in catalyzing a variety of reactions[1].Theoretical calculations based on density functional theory(DFT)and a multitude of other quantum chemistry methods have proven invaluable in elucidating the mechanisms of metal-oxide-catalyzed reactions,thereby facilitating the design of high-performance catalysts[2].

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Although the powder Fenton-like catalysts have exhibited high catalytic performances towards pollutant degradation,they cannot be directly used for Fenton-like industrialization considering the problems of loss and recovery.Therefore,the membrane fixation of catalyst is an important step to realize the actual application of Fenton-like catalysts.In this work,an efficient catalyst was developed with Co-N_(x)configuration facilely reconstructed on the surface of Co_(3)O_(4)(Co-N_(x)/Co_(3)O_(4)),which exhibited superior catalytic activity.We further fixed the highly efficient Co-N_(x)/Co_(3)O_(4)onto three kinds of organic membranes and one kind of inorganic ceramic membrane installing with the residual PMS treatment device to investigate its catalytic stability and sustainability.Results indicated that the inorganic ceramic membrane(CM)can achieve high water flux of 710 L m-2h-1,and the similar water flux can be achieved by Co-N_(x)/Co_(3)O_(4)/CM even without the pressure extraction.We also employed the Co-N_(x)/Co_(3)O_(4)/CM system to the wastewater secondary effluent,and the pollutant in complicated secondary effluent could be highly removed by the Co-N_(x)/Co_(3)O_(4)/CM system.This paper provides a new point of view for the application of metal-based catalysts with M-N_(x)coordination in catalytic reaction device.

文摘A_(2)B_(2)O_(7)high-entropy oxides are ceramic materials characterized by diverse compositions,strong structural inclusivity,and a broad range of potential applications.These materials hold significant value in fields such as thermal barrier coatings,energy storage,dielectric materials,and transparent ceramics.However,there are limited reports on the dielectric properties of A_(2)B_(2)O_(7)high-entropy oxides.Consequently,further investigation is required to understand the polarization mechanisms in high-entropy ceramics and analyze the formation of oxygen vacancies and their influence.In the present study,La_(2)[(TiZrSnHfGe)_((1-2x)5)(NbGa)_(x)]_(2)O_(7)(x=0.129,0.143,0.157,0.171)(LTZSHGNGO)ceramics were synthesized successfully using a conventional solidstate reaction method.Compared withLa_(2)(TiZrSnHfGe)_(2)O_(7)ceramics,LTZSHGNGO demonstrated a nearly 6.7-fold increase in dielectric constant and a 33%reduction in dielectric loss.The incorporation of Nb/Ga enhanced the high-temperature dielectric properties and improved dielectric stability.The exceptional dielectric performance is primarily attributed to the synergistic highentropy effect,while Nb/Ga doping increased the number of oxygen vacancies and generated more defect dipole clusters[Ti^(4+)·e-V_(O)^(**)-Ti^(4+)·e].This study provides novel insights into the dielectric properties of LTZSHGNGO high-entropy ceramics and offers a novel approach to understanding the performance of A_(2)B_(2)O_(7)ceramics.
