3LiBH4/CeF3体系的放氢性能及机制

采用球磨法制备了3LiBH₄/CeF₃反应体系, 通过压力-组成-温度(PCT)测试仪、 X射线衍射仪(XRD)和傅里叶变换红外光谱仪(FTIR)研究了体系的放氢性能、 反应机制及性能改善机理. 结果表明, 3LiBH₄/CeF₃体系在295 ℃左右快速放氢, 总放氢量为4.1%(质量分数). 放氢过程中CeF₃与LiBH₄直接发生反应: 3LiBH₄+CeF₃1/2CeB₆+1/2CeH₂+3LiF+11/2H₂. 与纯LiBH₄相比, 放氢热力学稳定性和表观活化能的降低是3LiBH₄/CeF₃体系放氢温度下降的主要原因.     

五氧化二钒促进MgH2/Mg室温吸氢※

MgH₂因其储氢量高、来源广及价格低廉等优点而备受关注, 但其热力学稳定(ΔH≥76 kJ/mol-H₂)以及低温吸/放氢动力学缓慢等问题限制了它在氢能领域的广泛应用. 研究发现, 过渡金属氧化物能够显著改善MgH₂的储氢动力学性能. 系统研究了过渡金属氧化物V₂O₅对MgH₂储氢性能的改善作用. 与纯MgH₂相比, 在MgH₂中添加质量分数为5%的V₂O₅可以显著改善MgH₂的吸/脱氢动力学性能. V₂O₅掺杂MgH₂的起始脱氢温度降至175 ℃, 比同等条件处理的纯MgH₂降低了89 ℃. 值得注意的是, V₂O₅掺杂的MgH₂脱氢后, 在室温和3 MPa的氢压下, 30和180 min内吸收H₂的质量分数分别为2.1%和3.8%. 同等氢压下, 当温度提高到300 ℃时, 该样品可在1 min内吸收H₂的质量分数高达6.7%. 同时催化掺杂样品还表现出良好的循环稳定性, 20次循环后仍能维持质量分数为6.0%以上的可逆储/放氢量. 此外, V₂O₅改善MgH₂储氢性能的反应机理也通过多种手段表征得以阐明.

为应对能源短缺和气候变化的挑战,调整以化石能源为主的传统能源框架,形成以可再生能源为基础的新型能源结构是我国能源结构升级的必然之路。氢能以其能量密度高、热值大、资源丰富、无污染等优点备受关注。LiBH₄作为最有希望的车载固体储氢能源载体之一已有多年研究,但该材料当前仍无法满足工业应用需求。本文围绕LiBH₄放/充氢反应稳定的热力学与缓慢的动力学的调控,讨论了当前各种主流工艺及其最新研究成果,包括机械球磨激活、纳米限域、催化剂掺杂改性、离子替代、反应物失稳和高能球磨结合气溶胶喷涂(BMAS)新工艺,旨在为其推广应用提供参考和解决方案。值得注意的是,BMAS有能力帮助LiBH₄ + MgH₂复合物等热力学有利体系克服其动力学障碍,并在较低温度下提供促进释放氢气的热力学驱动力。     

AlH3的制备及放氢特性

以LiAlH₄, LiBH₄和AlCl₃为原料, 采用有机合成法制备了单一相的α-AlH₃和γ-AlH₃, 并对其放氢性能进行了研究.结果表明, 两种晶型AlH₃的放氢量均可达8.3%~8.5%(质量分数), 放氢温度范围在120~160℃之间, 且γ-AlH₃的放氢峰值温度比α-AlH₃低8.2℃; α-AlH₃和γ-AlH₃的放氢反应表观活化能分别为94.6和86.3 kJ/mol; 加热过程中α-AlH₃直接发生放氢反应, γ-AlH₃在放氢前先发生向α-AlH₃的相变, 这一相变过程使得AlH₃的晶格得到活化, 从而促进放氢反应的进行.

Thermodynamically tuning LiBH4 by fluorine anion doping for hydrogen storage: A density functional study

The decomposition reaction of LiBH₄ with and without F anion doping was investigated by first-principles calculations. According to the calculation results, doping LiBH₄ with F anion may generate F lattice substitution in both the hydrogenated (LiBH₄) and dehydrogenated (LiH) states of the hydride, and accordingly result in a favorable thermodynamics modification, even to a level suitable for onboard H-storage application. Experimentally evidencing these theoretical predictions may pave a new way to pursue improved hydrogen storage properties of LiBH₄ and other related complex hydrides.     

Effect of Magnetic Carrier NiFe2O4 Nanoparticles on Physicochemical and Catalytic Properties of Magnetically Separable Photocatalyst TiO2/NiFe2O4

A series of magnetically separable photocatalyst TiO₂/NiFe₂O₄(TN) with different mass ratios of NiFe₂O₄ to TiO₂ was prepared by sol-gel method. The X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) surface analysis and photoluminescence spectroscopy(PL) were used to characterize the photocatalyst TN. The XRD patterns of TN indicate that adulterating a smidgen of NiFe₂O₄ into TiO₂(about 0.1%, mass ratio) can promote the phase transformation of TiO₂, however, when the doped amount of NiFe₂O₄ surpasses 1%, the introduction of NiFe₂O₄ can inhibit the growth of TiO₂ crystal grain and reduce the size of TiO₂ crystal grain. The XPS results of TN indicate that some Fe³⁺ replace Ti⁴⁺ of the TiO₂ lattice forming Fe―O―Ti bonds. The PL analysis of TN shows that the NiFe₂O₄ nanoparticles in photocatalyst TN play the role of the effective recombination centre of the photogenerated electrons and holes, leading to the decrease in photocatalytic activity.

Electrochemical Performance of LiMn2O4/LiFePO4 Blend Cathodes for Lithium Ion Batteries

A series of LiMn₂O₄/LiFePO₄ blend cathodes was prepared by hand milling and ball milling in order to compensate the disadvantage of spinel LiMn₂O₄ and olivine LiFePO₄. The morphologies of the blends were studied by scanning electron microscopy, and their electrochemical properties were studied by charge-discharge cycling, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It is easy to obtain uniform LiMn₂O₄/LiFePO₄ blends by the hand milling technique, while significant particle agglomeration is caused by the ball milling technique. When the LiMn₂O₄:LiFePO₄ mass ratio is 1:1, the nano-sized LiFePO₄ powders not only uniformly cover the micron-sized LiMn₂O₄ particles but also effectively fill in the cavities of the LiMn₂O₄ space. Such morphology offers a good electrical contact and a high tap density, which leads to a high discharge capacity and good cycle stability.

Dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with CO2 over Cr-MCM-41 catalyst

M-MCM-41 catalysts (M: V, Cr, Fe, and Ga) prepared by direct hydrothermal synthesis (DHT) have been tested for dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with CO₂. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption (77 K), and diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectroscopic measurements. Cr-MCM-41 showed the highest activity among M-MCM-41 catalysts tested, resulting in the production of styrene with the conversion of 65% and the selectivity above 90%. The rate of styrene formation increased with increasing Cr loading up to 1.7 wt.%. It is suggested that Cr(VI)O₄ in tetrahedral coordination is formed as an active monochromate species and reduced to Cr(III)O₆ in octahedral coordination as a less active polychromate species during the reaction. Deactivated catalyst was regenerated by a treatment with gaseous oxygen or CO₂, during which redistribution as well as reoxidation of polymeric Cr(III)O₆ octahedra to monomeric Cr(VI)O₄ tetrahedra was observed. The rate of CO formation increased together with that of styrene formation, while the rate of H₂ formation decreased, with increasing partial pressure of CO₂. It was confirmed that reverse water-gas shift reaction took place over Cr-MCM-41 by a separate experiment. The rate of CO formation during the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with CO₂ over Cr-MCM-41 was well accounted for by assuming parallel occurrence of two reactions, i.e., direct oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with CO₂ and simple dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene thermodynamically assisted by reverse water-gas shift reaction.     

Effect of ZrC Nanopowders on Enhancing the Hydro/Dehydrogenation Kinetics of MgH2 Powders

Hydrogen has been receiving great attention as an energy carrier for potential green energy applications. Hydrogen storage is one of the most crucial factors controlling the hydrogen economy and its future applications. Amongst the several options of hydrogen storage, light metal hydrides, particularly nanocrystalline magnesium hydride (MgH₂), possess attractive properties, making them desired hydrogen storage materials. The present study aimed to improve the hydrogen storage properties of MgH₂ upon doping with different concentrations of zirconium carbide (ZrC) nanopowders. Both MgH₂ and ZrC were prepared using reactive ball milling and high-energy ball milling techniques, respectively. The as-prepared MgH₂ powder was doped with ZrC (2, 5, and 7 wt%) and then high-energy-ball-milled for 25 h. During the ball milling process, ZrC powders acted as micro-milling media to reduce the MgH₂ particle size to a minimal value that could not be obtained without ZrC. The as-milled nanocomposite MgH₂/ZrC powders consisted of fine particles (~0.25 μm) with a nanosized grain structure of less than 7 nm. Besides, the ZrC agent led to the lowering of the decomposition temperature of MgH₂ to 287 °C and the reduction in its apparent activation energy of desorption to 69 kJ/mol. Moreover, the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation kinetics of the nanocomposite MgH₂/ZrC system revealed a significant improvement, as indicated by the low temperature and short time required to achieve successful uptake and release processes. This system possessed a high capability to tackle a long continuous cycle lifetime (1400 h) at low temperatures (225 °C) without showing serious degradation in its storage capacity.     

Li含量对Li/MgO丙烷氧化脱氢制烯烃反应催化性能的影响

采用浸渍法制备了不同Li含量的Li/MgO催化剂,并通过TG-DTA、N_2吸附及XRD等手段对其进行了表征;对丙烷在Li/MgO催化剂表面的两种吸附状态所占据的空间体积大小进行了计算,研究了Li含量对其丙烷氧化脱氢制烯烃反应催化性能的影响。结果表明,随着Li/MgO催化剂中Li含量的增加,丙烷转化率与乙烯、甲烷、乙烷和COx的选择性均先增加,在Li物质的量分数为3%时达到最高,然后随Li含量增加而降低,而丙烯选择性则出现相反的变化趋势。丙烷在Li/MgO催化剂上的吸附和反应同时受动力学和热力学两个因素的制约;Li负载量不同,反应活性位Li+O-分散状态也不同,导致产物分布发生变化。活性位分散度高时受热力学因素影响,有利于生成丙烯;活性位分散度低时受吸附动力学影响,更趋向于生成乙烯等其他产物。
