A molten salt method was developed to prepare porous La1‐xSrxMn0.8Fe0.2O3 (0≤ x ≤ 0.6) micro‐spheres using hierarchical porous δ‐MnO2 microspheres as a template in eutectic NaNO3‐KNO3.

X‐ray diffraction patterns showed that single phase LaMn0.8Fe0.2O3 with good crystallinity was syn‐thesized at 450℃ after 4 h. Transmission electron microscope images exhibited that the LaMn0.8Fe0.2O3 sample obtained at 450?? after 4 h possessed a porous spherical morphology com‐posed of aggregated nanocrystallites. Field emission scanning electron microscope images indicated that the growth of the porous LaMn0.8Fe0.2O3 microspheres has two stages. SEM pictures showed that a higher calcination temperature than 450?? had an adverse effect on the formation of a po‐rous spherical structure. The LaMn0.8Fe0.2O3 sample obtained at 450?? after 4 h displayed a high BET surface area of 55.73 m2/g with a pore size of 9.38 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectra suggested that Sr2+ions entered the A sites and induced a decrease of the binding energy between Mn and O. The CO conversion with the La1‐xSrxMn0.8Fe0.2O3 (0≤x≤0.6) samples indicated that the La0.4Sr0.6Mn0.8Fe0.2O3 sample had the best catalytic activity and stability. Further analysis by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated that Sr2+doping altered the content of Mn4+ions, oxygen vacancies and adsorbed oxygen species on the surface, which affected the catalytic performance for CO oxidation.展开更多

The spherical MnCO3 precursors were obtained from the control of the crystallizing process of Mn2+ ions and NH4HCO3 in aqueous solution. The effects of the mole ratio of the raw materials, reaction time, and reaction temperature on the morphology and yield of the MnCO3 were investigated. The as-synthesized MnCO3 and LiMn2O4 microspheres were characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Galvanostatic charge/discharge tests indicate that the spinel LiMn2O4 microspheres deliver a discharge capacity of 90 mA-h/g at 10C rate show good capacity retention capability (75% of their initial capacity after 800 cycles at 10C rate). The durable high rate capability suggests that the as-synthesized LiMn2O4 microspheres are promising cathode materials for high power lithium ion batteries.展开更多

The possible formation process of this architecture was investigated by X-ray diffraction, focused-ion beam-scanning electron microscopy dual-beam system, and transmission electron microscopy. When used as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries, Sb_2S_3 hollow microspheres manifest excellent rate property and enhanced lithium-storage capability and can deliver a discharge capacity of 674 m Ah g^(-1) at a current density of 200 m A g^(-1) after 50 cycles. Even at a high currentdensity of 5000 m A g^(-1), a discharge capacity of541 m Ah g^(-1) is achieved. Sb_2S_3 hollow microspheres also display a prominent sodium-storage capacity and maintain a reversible discharge capacity of 384 m Ah g^(-1) at a current density of 200 m A g^(-1) after 50 cycles. The remarkable lithium/sodium-storage property may be attributed to the synergetic effect of its nanometer size and three-dimensional hierarchical architecture, and the outstanding stability property is attributed to the sufficient interior void space,which can buffer the volume expansion.展开更多

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the N2 adsorption and desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) were used for their characterization. The results showed that the obtained materials exhibited the same morphology as that of the pollen template, with a diameter of ca. 10 μm, and the surface was evenly covered with a special network-like structutre with mesh size of about 0.3 μm, and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area was measured to be 156 m2/g. The detailed property investigation inferred that the product exhibited better photocatalytic activity in acid fuchsine decolorization under daylight because of higher surface area, smaller crystallite size and higher oxygen capacity.展开更多

文摘The limited ion/electron transport kinetics and insufficient crystalline stability of TiNb_(2)O_(7)(TNO)present significant challenges to the development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)with fastcharging capabilities and long cycle life.Here we propose a dual-modification strategy combining Ndoped carbon(NC)coating and Co^(2+)/W^(6+)doping,which not only enhances ionic and electronic conductivity but also effectively regulates volume expansion during electrochemical cycling.Upon Li+ion insertion,a significant reduction in the unit cell expansion coefficient of doped TNO is observed,from 7.48%(pristine TNO)to 5.37%(with 3%W^(6+)doping)and 4.65%(with 3%Co^(2+)doping),alo ng with lowered lattice distortion and improved uniformity in internal strain release.Density functional theory(DFT)simulation demonstrates that Co^(2+)and W^(6+)ions preferentially substitute Ti^(4+)sites in the TNO crystal,leading to the improved electronic conductivity by narrowing the bandgap.Moreover,Co^(2+)doping creates lower electron density and wider Li+ion transport channels than W^(6+)doping.The optimized 3Co-TNO@NC anode delivers a remarkable power density of 11.0 kW kg^(-1)at 20 C while maintaining a high reversible capacity of 150.9 mAh g^(-1)at 10 C after 2000 cycles.It also exhibits excellent compatibility in full cells,paired well with LiFePO_(4)(137.9 mAh g^(-1)after 2000 cycles)and Ni-rich LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)(130.9 mAh g^(-1)after 500cycles)cathodes at 5 C,highlighting its potential as a high-safety,low-strain anode material for highpower LIBs.

文摘3D hierarchical flowerlike WS_(2) microspheres were synthesized through a facile one-pot hydrothermal route.The as-synthesized samples were characterized by powder X-ray powder diffraction (XRD),energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS),scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman.SEM images of the samples reveal that the hierarchical flowerlike WS_(2) microspheres with diameters of about 3-5μm are composed of a number of curled nanosheets.Electrochemical tests such as charge/discharge,cyclic voltammetry,cycle life and rate performance were carried out on the WS_(2) sample.As an anode material for lithium-ion batteries,hierarchical flowerlike WS_(2) microspheres show excellent electrochemical performance.At a current density of100 mA·g^(-1),a high specific capacity of 647.8 mA·h·g^(-1) was achieved after 120 discharge/charge cycles.The excellent electrochemical performance of WS_(2) as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries can be attributed to its special 3D hierarchical structure.

文摘Hollow Bi2WO6 microspheres are successfully synthesized by a facile ultrasonic spray pyrolysis(USP) method using NaCl as a salt template.The as-prepared hollow microspheres assembled as nanoplates with dimensions of approximately 41-148 nm and are dispersed with non-uniform pores on the template surface.By swapping the salt template with KC1 or Na2SO4,different morphologies of Bi2WO6 are obtained.The experimental results demonstrate that NaCl plays a key role on the formation of Bi2WO6 with hollow structures.The specific growth mechanism of hollow microspheres was studied in detail.The Bi2WO6 hollow microspheres exhibit an excellent photocatalytic efficiency for NO removal under solar light irradiation,which is 1.73 times higher than for the Bi2WO6 obtained in the absence of any salt template.This enhancement can be ascribed to the simultaneous improvement on the surface area and visible light-harvesting ability from the hollow structures.Electron spin resonance(ESR) results suggest that both radicals of ·OH and ·O2^- are involved in the photocatalytic process over the BWO-NaCl sample.The production of ·O2^- radicals offers better durability for NO removal.

文摘A molten salt method was developed to prepare porous La1‐xSrxMn0.8Fe0.2O3 (0≤ x ≤ 0.6) micro‐spheres using hierarchical porous δ‐MnO2 microspheres as a template in eutectic NaNO3‐KNO3. X‐ray diffraction patterns showed that single phase LaMn0.8Fe0.2O3 with good crystallinity was syn‐thesized at 450℃ after 4 h. Transmission electron microscope images exhibited that the LaMn0.8Fe0.2O3 sample obtained at 450?? after 4 h possessed a porous spherical morphology com‐posed of aggregated nanocrystallites. Field emission scanning electron microscope images indicated that the growth of the porous LaMn0.8Fe0.2O3 microspheres has two stages. SEM pictures showed that a higher calcination temperature than 450?? had an adverse effect on the formation of a po‐rous spherical structure. The LaMn0.8Fe0.2O3 sample obtained at 450?? after 4 h displayed a high BET surface area of 55.73 m2/g with a pore size of 9.38 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectra suggested that Sr2+ions entered the A sites and induced a decrease of the binding energy between Mn and O. The CO conversion with the La1‐xSrxMn0.8Fe0.2O3 (0≤x≤0.6) samples indicated that the La0.4Sr0.6Mn0.8Fe0.2O3 sample had the best catalytic activity and stability. Further analysis by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated that Sr2+doping altered the content of Mn4+ions, oxygen vacancies and adsorbed oxygen species on the surface, which affected the catalytic performance for CO oxidation.

文摘Spinel LiMn2O4 microspheres with durable high rate capability were synthesized by a facile route using spherical MnCO3 precursors as the self-supported templates, combined with the calcinations of LiNO3 at 700 °C for 8 h. The spherical MnCO3 precursors were obtained from the control of the crystallizing process of Mn2+ ions and NH4HCO3 in aqueous solution. The effects of the mole ratio of the raw materials, reaction time, and reaction temperature on the morphology and yield of the MnCO3 were investigated. The as-synthesized MnCO3 and LiMn2O4 microspheres were characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Galvanostatic charge/discharge tests indicate that the spinel LiMn2O4 microspheres deliver a discharge capacity of 90 mA-h/g at 10C rate show good capacity retention capability (75% of their initial capacity after 800 cycles at 10C rate). The durable high rate capability suggests that the as-synthesized LiMn2O4 microspheres are promising cathode materials for high power lithium ion batteries.

文摘Converting solar energy into chemical energy by artificial photosynthesis is promising in addressing the issues of the greenhouse effect and fossil fuel crisis.Herein,a novel photocatalyst,i.e.CdS/TiO_(2) hollow microspheres(HS),were dedicatedly designed to boost overall photocatalytic efficiency.TiO_(2) nanoparticles were in-situ decorated on the inside and outside the shell of Cd S HS,ensuring close contact between TiO_(2) and CdS.The CdS/TiO2 HS with abundant mesopores inside of the shell boost the light absorption via multiscattering effect as well as accessible to reactions in all directions.The heterojunction was scrutinized and the charge transfer across it was revealed by in-situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(ISI-XPS).Ultimately,the charge transfer in this composite was determined to follow stepscheme mechanism,which not only facilitates the separation of charge carriers but also preserves strong redox ability.Benefited from the intimate linkage between Cd S and TiO_(2) and the favorable step-scheme heterojunction,enhanced photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction activity was accomplished.The CH4 yield rate of CdS/TiO_(2) reaches 27.85μmol g^(–1) h^(–1),which is 145.6 and 3.8 times higher than those of pristine CdS and TiO_(2),respectively.This work presents a novel insight into constructing step-scheme photocatalytic system with desirable performance.

文摘As promising energy storage systems,lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries have attracted significant attention because of their ultra-high energy densities.However,Li-S battery suffers problems related to the complex phase conversion that occurs during the charge-discharge process,particularly the deposition of solid Li2S from the liquid-phase polysulfides,which greatly limits its practical application.In this paper,edge-rich MoS2/C hollow microspheres(Edg-MoS2/C HMs)were designed and used to functionalize separator for Li-S battery,resulting in the uniform deposition of Li2S.The microspheres were fabricated through the facile hydrothermal treatment of MoO3-aniline nanowires and a subsequent carbonization process.The obtained Edg-MoS2/C HMs have a strong chemical absorption capability and high density of Li2S binding sites,and exhibit excellent electrocatalytic performance and can effectively hinder the polysulfide shuttle effect and guide the uniform nucleation and growth of Li2S.Furthermore,we demonstrate that the Edg-MoS2/C HMs can effectively regulate the deposition of Li2S and significantly improve the reversibility of the phase conversion of the active sulfur species,especially at high sulfur loadings and high C-rates.As a result,a cell containing a separator functionalized with Edg-MoS2/C HMs exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 935 mAh g-1 at 1.0 C and maintained a capacity of 494 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles with a sulfur loading of 1.7 mg cm-2.Impressively,at a high sulfur loading of 6.1 mg cm-2 and high rate of 0.5 C,the cell still delivered a high reversible discharge capacity of 478 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles.This work provides fresh insights into energy storage systems related to complex phase conversions.

文摘In this work,MoS2@montmorillonite nanosheets hollow microspheres(MoS2@MMTNS-HMS)with a novel morphology structure was successfully synthesized through loading MoS2 to the surface of MMTNS-HMS via hydrothermal method.The novel material has been characterized through the measurements of SEM,TEM,Raman spectra and UV–vis absorption spectra.The results have shown that MoS2@MMTNS-HMS emerges higher light-utilization efficiency,density of edge active sites and separation of photoelectrons,owing to its unique hollow structure,vertically-aligned MoS2 nanosheets,which greatly enhances its photocatalytic activity.Furthermore,the cycle stability of MoS2@MMTNS-HMS is much higher than that of pristine MoS2,which is attributed to that MMTNS-HMS greatly inhibits the oxidation of MoS2 during photocatalytic.MoS2@MMTNS-HMS could be a promising photocatalyst for the applications in the elimination of organic pollutants.
文摘Constructing a step-scheme heterojunction at the interface between two semiconductors is an efficient way to optimize the redox ability and accelerate the charge carrier separation of a photocatalytic system for achieving high photocatalytic performance.In this study,we prepared a hierarchical ZnO@ZnS step-scheme photocatalyst by incorporating ZnS into the outer shell of hollow ZnO microspheres via a simple in situ sulfidation strategy.The ZnO@ZnS step-scheme photocatalysts had a large surface area,high light utilization capacity,and superior separation efficiency for photogenerated charge carriers.In addition,the material simulation revealed that the formation of the step-scheme heterojunction between ZnO and ZnS was due to the presence of the built-in electric field.Our study paves the way for design of high-performance photocatalysts for H_(2) production.

文摘Hierarchical Sb_2S_3 hollow microspheres assembled by nanowires have been successfully synthesized by a simple and practical hydrothermal reaction. The possible formation process of this architecture was investigated by X-ray diffraction, focused-ion beam-scanning electron microscopy dual-beam system, and transmission electron microscopy. When used as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries, Sb_2S_3 hollow microspheres manifest excellent rate property and enhanced lithium-storage capability and can deliver a discharge capacity of 674 m Ah g^(-1) at a current density of 200 m A g^(-1) after 50 cycles. Even at a high currentdensity of 5000 m A g^(-1), a discharge capacity of541 m Ah g^(-1) is achieved. Sb_2S_3 hollow microspheres also display a prominent sodium-storage capacity and maintain a reversible discharge capacity of 384 m Ah g^(-1) at a current density of 200 m A g^(-1) after 50 cycles. The remarkable lithium/sodium-storage property may be attributed to the synergetic effect of its nanometer size and three-dimensional hierarchical architecture, and the outstanding stability property is attributed to the sufficient interior void space,which can buffer the volume expansion.
文摘Development of efficient heterostructured photocatalysts that respond to visible light remains a considerable challenge.We herein show the synthesis of ZnIn2S4/carbon quantum dot hybrid photocatalysts with flowerlike microspheres via a facile solvothermal method.The ZnIn2S4/carbon quantum dot flowerlike microspheres display enhanced photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activity compared with that of pure ZnIn2S4.With a content of only 0.5 wt%carbon quantum dots,93%of Cr(VI)is reduced under visible‐light irradiation at 40 min.As a co‐catalyst,the carbon quantum dots improve the light absorption and lengthen the lifetime of charge carriers,consequently enhancing the photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activity.

文摘Porous CeO2 hollow microspheres were successfully prepared through a facile process by using the rape pollen as the biotemplate. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the N2 adsorption and desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) were used for their characterization. The results showed that the obtained materials exhibited the same morphology as that of the pollen template, with a diameter of ca. 10 μm, and the surface was evenly covered with a special network-like structutre with mesh size of about 0.3 μm, and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area was measured to be 156 m2/g. The detailed property investigation inferred that the product exhibited better photocatalytic activity in acid fuchsine decolorization under daylight because of higher surface area, smaller crystallite size and higher oxygen capacity.

文摘TiO2@Ni(OH)2 core-shell microspheres were synthesized by a facile strategy to obtain a perfect 3D flower-like nanostructure with well-arranged Ni(OH)2 nanoflakes on the surfaces of TiO2 microspheres;this arrangement led to a six-fold enhancement in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The unique p-n type heterostructure not only promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers significantly, but also offers more active sites for photocatalytic hydrogen production. A photocatalytic mechanism is proposed based on the results of electrochemical measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

文摘It is rather essential to design glorious system with high CO_(2) adsorption capacity and electron migration efficiency for improving selective and effective CO_(2) reduction into solar fuels.Here,as-synthesized phenolic resin spheres via suspension polymerization were carbonized and activated by water vapor to obtain activated carbon spheres(ACSs).Subsequently,Bi_(2)MoO_(6)/ACSs were prepared via hydrothermal-impregnated method.The systematical characterizations of samples,including XRD,XPS,SEM,EDX,DRS,BET,PL,CO_(2) adsorption isotherm,EIS and transient photocurrent,were analyzed.The results clearly demonstrated that Bi_(2)MoO_(6) with suitable oxidation reduction potentials and bandgap and ACSs with admirable CO_(2) adsorption and electrical conductivity not only enhanced separation efficiency of photoindued electron-hole pair,but also displayed as 1.8 times CO_(2) reduction activity to CO as single Bi_(2)MoO_(6) sample under Xe-lamp irradiation.Finally,a concerned photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction mechanism was proposed and investigated.Our findings should provide innovative guidance for designing a series of photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction materials with highly efficient and selective ability.
