Synthesis and characterization of Pd-La(OH)3/C electrocatalyst for direct ethanol fuel cell

The composite nanomaterial of Pd-La(OH)₃/C was successfully synthesized via intermittent microwave heating–glycol reduction method and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The TEM photograph shows that Pd-La(OH)₃ is well polymerized and dispersed on the carbon support. The performance of the prepared material for ethanol oxidation was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), chronoamperometry (CA), and chronopotentiometry (CP) measurements in alkaline media. The results reveal that Pd-La(OH)₃/C has significantly higher activity and stability than that of Pd/C with the same Pd loading of 0.1 mg cm^?2. The stable potential reaches to ?0.38 V vs. Hg/HgO at 20 mA cm^?2 on the Pd-La(OH)₃/C electrode in CP curve. Single direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) was constructed using Pd-La(OH)₃/C electrode and MnO₂/C electrode as the ethanol anode and air cathode respectively, where the cell voltage can stay at 0.4 V under the current density of 20 mA cm^?2 by discharge test at room temperature.     

Electrochemical deposition and characterization of polyppyrrole coatings doped with nickel cobalt oxide for environmental applications

Electrochemical depositions of hybrid polypyrrole/nickel cobalt oxide (PPy/NiCoO) coatings onto ferritic stainless steel surface were carried out with different electrochemical techniques from 0.1 M pyrrole (Py) in 0.2-M oxalic acid (OA) solution and less than 150-nanometer-sized NiCoO particles. The structural properties of the composite were investigated by using different methods such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and Raman spectroscopy. The embedded NiCoO particles, uniformly distributed onto the surface of the PPy film, have similar oxide ratios corresponding to a mixed oxide structure. The electrochemical characterization was done using polarization curves and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) related to oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline solution and hydrogen peroxide as an oxygen source. Concerning the exchange current densities for ORR, the obtained values (between 1.06 and 1.45?×?10^?3 mA cm^?2 for a total amount of NiCoO of 0.1 mg cm^?2) are comparable with other polymer films with Pt.     

Cobalt Doped Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles: Synthesis,Characterization and Electrocatalytic Study

In this work, green synthesis of cobalt doped titanium dioxide (Co‐TiO₂) has been carried out in aqueous medium using gelatin. The Co‐TiO₂ particles have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X‐ray (EDAX), FT‐IR spectroscopy and voltammetry techniques. XRD results show pure Co‐TiO₂ and TiO₂ powders with average crystallite size about 12 nm and 15 nm, respectively. Co loaded in TiO₂ hasn't influence crystalline structure. Moreover, efficient Co‐TiO₂‐based anode was fabricated by casting of the Co‐TiO₂ solution on glassy carbon electrode (Co‐TiO₂/GCE). The electrocatalysis of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at Co‐TiO₂/GCE has been examined using linear scanning voltammetry (LSV) in alkaline media. The OER is significantly enhanced at Co‐TiO₂/GCE, as demonstrated by a negative shift in the LSV curve at the Co‐TiO₂/GCE compared to that obtained at the unmodified one. The value of energy saving of oxygen gas at a current density of 5 mA cm^?2 is 12.6 kW h kg^?1. The low cost as well as the marked stability of the modified electrode make it promising candidate in industrial water electrolysis process.     

Mesoporous carbon nitride loaded with Pt nanoparticles as a bifunctional air electrode for rechargeable lithium-air battery

A composite comprised of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst was designed and applied as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for the air electrode of the lithium-air battery. The ordered mesoporous carbon nitride (MCN) prepared by a nano hard-templating approach displayed a surface area as high as 648 m² g^?1 and a large pore volume of 0.7 cm³ g^?1 and acted as both the ORR catalyst and the support for the in situ-formed OER catalyst of Pt particles with a diameter of 3–4 nm. The electrochemical performances of the electrode were examined in a solid-state lithium-air cell structured as Li/LATP-based electrolyte/cathode, which demonstrated a higher round-trip efficiency and lower overpotential compared with the Pt@AB and MCN electrodes. The combination of the OER and ORR catalysts is proved as an effective way to improve the performance of lithium-air batteries.     

A tunable hierarchical porous carbon from starch pretreated by calcium acetate for high performance supercapacitors

Hierarchical porous carbons (HPCs) with abundant mesopores have been prepared by a facile route from the starch that was pretreated by calcium acetate. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and N₂ adsorption–desorption tests show that hierarchical porous carbons with bimodal mesopores have been obtained. Moreover, the pore sizes are tunable by simply adjusting the reactants ratio and carbonization temperature. The as-synthesized hierarchical porous carbon materials (HPCs-2-800) possesses the highest Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET)-specific surface area of 464 m² g^?1 and mesoporous volume of 0.663 cm³ g^?1 at the carbonization temperature of 800 °C and starch to calcium acetate mass ratio of 2. Electrochemical measurements also display that the HPCs-2-800 electrodes have a high reversible capacity of 244 F g^?1 at the current density of 0.1 A g^?1 and 182 F g^?1 at the current density of 10 A g^?1. When the current density is elevated from 0.1 to 10 A g^?1, the high capacitance retention of 74.6 % reveals a good rate performance. Long charge–discharge cycling measurements disclose good stabilities over 25,000 cycles at different current densities of 1–10 A g^?1 (5000 cycles at each current density) for HPCs-2-800 electrode. The cycling results indicate a high capacitance retention of 99.6 % over 5000 charge–discharge cycles even at the current density of 10 A g^?1. The excellent supercapacitive performances imply that HPCs-2-800 is a promising candidate for supercapacitors.     

Investigation of carbon-supported Ni@Ag core-shell nanoparticles as electrocatalyst for electrooxidation of sodium borohydride

Carbon-supported Ni@Ag core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized and used as the anode electrocatalyst for direct borohydride-hydrogen peroxide fuel cell (DBHFC). The morphology, structure, and composition of the as-prepared electrocatalysts are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Electrochemical characterizations are performed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA), linear scan voltammetry with rotating disk electrode (LSV RDE), and fuel cell test. The catalytic behaviors and main kinetic parameters (e.g., Tafel slope, number of electrons exchanged, exchange current density, and apparent activation energy) toward BH ₄ ^‐ oxidation on Ag/C and Ni@Ag/C electrocatalysts are determined. Results show that the as-prepared nanoparticles have a core-shell structure with the average size approximately 13 nm. The kinetics of NaBH₄ oxidation is faster for Ni@Ag/C than that for Ag/C. Among the as-prepared catalysts, the highest transition electron value and the lowest apparent activation energy are obtained on Ni₁@Ag₁/C; the values are 4.8 and 20.23 kJ mol^?1, respectively. The DBHFC using Ni₁@Ag₁/C as anode electrocatalyst and Pt mesh (1 cm²) as cathode electrode obtains the maximum anodic power density as high as 8.54 mW cm^?2 at a discharge current density of 8.42 mA cm^?2 at 25 °C.     

Facile synthesis of multiwalled carbon nanotube–V2O5 nanocomposites as cathode materials for Li-ion batteries

Multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)–vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) nanocomposites have been fabricated using a facile and environmental friendly hydrothermal method without any pretreatment, surfactants, or chelate agents added. The as-annealed nanocomposites are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the results indicate that V₂O₅ nanoparticles grew on MWCNTs. As a cathode material for lithium batteries, it exhibits superior electrochemical performance compare to the pure V₂O₅ powders. A high specific discharge capacity of 253 mA h g^?1 can be obtained for the 15 % MWCNT–V₂O₅ nanocomposite electrodes, which retains 209 mA h g^?1 after 50 cycles. However, the pure V₂O₅ powder electrodes only possess a specific discharge capacity of 157 mA h g^?1 with a capacity retention of 127 mA h g^?1 after 50 cycles. Moreover, the MWCNT–V₂O₅ nanocomposite electrodes show an excellent rate capability with a specific discharge capacity of 180 mA h g^?1 at the current rate of 4 C. The enhanced electrochemical performance of the nanocomposites is attributed to the formation of conductive networks by MWCNTs, and large surface areas of V₂O₅ nanoparticles grew on MWCNTs which stabilizes these nanoparticles against agglomeration.     

Nanocrystalline tungstic carbide/graphitic carbon composite: synthesis,characterization, and its application as an effective Pt catalyst support for methanol oxidation

Tungsten carbide and graphitic carbon (WC/GC) composite has been synthesized by a simple solid-state pyrolysis method from an in situ route. The results indicate that the synthesized sample has a large specific surface area (S _BET) of 198 m² g^?1, and the WC nanoparticles (NPs) with a narrow particle size are well dispersed on the graphitic carbon. After loading Pt nanoparticles, the prepared Pt/WC/GC catalyst exhibits a mass activity of 416.1 mA mg^?1 Pt toward methanol electrooxidation, which is much higher than that of commercial Pt/C (JM) (231.2 mA mg^?1 Pt). Moreover, the onset potential is 100 mV more negative than that on Pt/C (JM) electrocatalyst. In addition, the Pt/WC/GC catalyst has stronger resistance to CO poisoning than the commercial Pt/C (JM). Its superior electrochemical performance could be attributed not only to the synergistic effect between Pt and WC NPs but also to the excellent electrical conductivity of GC and proper porous structure for desirable mass transportation in a porous electrode.     

Single‐Wall Carbon Nanotube Paste Electrodes: a Comparison with Carbon Paste,Platinum and Glassy Carbon Electrodes via Cyclic Voltammetric Data

A new carbon electrode material, obtained by mixing single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with a mineral oil binder is studied. Carbon nanotube pastes show the special properties of carbon nanotubes combined with the various advantages of composite electrodes such as a very low capacitance (background current) and the possibility of an easy preparation, modification and renewal. A better knowledge of the characteristics of electrode reactions at carbon nanotube paste (CNTP) electrodes was obtained studying the electron transfer rates of various redox couples under different pretreatment conditions. A critical comparison with carbon paste (CP), platinum (Pt) and glassy carbon (GC) electrodes was also carried out. Capacitance and resistance values were also calculated for all electrodes investigated. Both untreated and treated CNTP electrodes showed a low resistance while the capacitance was markedly reduced with CNTP electrodes previously treated with concentrated nitric acid. An electrochemical pretreatment on CNTP electrodes was developed which showed an excellent result towards two‐electron quinonic structure species. After this treatment the heterogeneous standard rate constants for p‐methylaminophenol sulfate (MAP) and dopamine resulted to be significantly higher (2.1×10^?2 cm/s and 2.0×10^?2 cm/s, respectively) than those obtained with the other electrodes studied. Reproducibility, stability and storage characteristics of CNTP electrodes were also reported.     

Electrochemical and physical characterization of Pt–Ru alloy catalyst deposited onto microporous–mesoporous carbon support derived from Mo2C at 600 °C

The electrochemical reduction of oxygen on binary Pt–Ru alloy deposited onto microporous–mesoporous carbon support was studied in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ solution using cyclic voltammetry, rotating disk electrode (RDE), and impedance method. The microporous–mesoporous carbon support C(Mo₂C) with specific surface area of 1,990 m²?g^?1 was prepared from Mo₂C at 600 °C using the chlorination method. Analysis of X-ray diffraction, photoelectron spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy data confirms that the Pt–Ru alloy has been formed and the atomic fraction of Ru in the alloy was ～0.5. High cathodic oxygen reduction current densities (?160 A?m^?2 at 3,000 rev?min^?1) have been measured by the RDE method. The O₂ diffusion constant (1.9?±?0.3?×?10^?5?cm²?s^?1) and the number of electrons transferred per electroreduction of one O₂ molecule (～4), calculated from the Levich and Koutecky–Levich plots, are in agreement with literature data. Similarly to the Ru/RuO₂ system in H₂SO₄ aqueous solution, nearly capacitive behavior was observed from impedance data at very low ac frequencies, explained by slow electrical double-layer formation limited by the adsorption of reaction intermediates and products into microporous–mesoporous Pt–Ru–C(Mo₂C) catalyst. All results obtained for C(Mo₂C) and Pt–Ru–C(Mo₂C) electrodes have been compared with corresponding data for commercial carbon VULCAN® XC72 (C(Vulcan)) and Pt–Ru–C(Vulcan) electrodes processed and measured in the same experimental conditions. Higher activity for C(Mo₂C) and Pt–Ru–C(Mo₂C) has been demonstrated.     

Electrochemical application of titanium dioxide nanoparticle/gold nanoparticle/multiwalled carbon nanotube nanocomposites for nonenzymatic detection of ascorbic acid

Titanium dioxide nanoparticle/gold nanoparticle/carbon nanotube (TiO₂/Au/CNT) nanocomposites were synthesized, and then characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). A TiO₂/Au/CNT nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode was prepared using the drop coating method and was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and amperometric current–time response (I-T). The modified material is redox-active. The nonenzymatically detected amount of ascorbic acid (AA) on the TiO₂/Au/CNT electrode showed a linear relationship with the AA concentration, for concentrations from 0.01 to 0.08 μM; the sensitivity was 117,776.36 μA?·?cm^?2?·?(mM)^?1, and the detection limit was 0.01 μM (S/N?=?3). The results indicated that the TiO₂/Au/CNT nanocomposite-modified GC electrode exhibited high electrocatalytic activity toward AA. This paper describes materials consisting of a network of TiO₂, Au, and MWCNTs, and the investigation of their synergistic effects in the detection of AA.

Platinum–ruthenium (Pt–Ru) nanoparticles were successfully deposited, for the first time, on the surface of SnO₂ nanowires grown directly on carbon paper (Pt–Ru/SnO₂ NWs/carbon paper) by potentiostatic electrodeposition method. The resultant Pt–Ru/SnO₂ NWs/carbon paper composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrocatalytic activities of these composite electrodes for methanol oxidation were investigated and higher mass and specific activities in methanol oxidation were exhibited as compared to Pt–Ru catalysts deposited on glassy carbon electrode.     

Enhanced stability of symmetrical polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell single cells based on novel hierarchical microporous-mesoporous carbon supports

Fuel cell electrodes were prepared from Pt nanocluster activated hierarchical microporous-mesoporous carbon powders. The carbon supports were synthesized from molybdenum carbide applying the high-temperature chlorination method. Six different synthesis temperatures within the range from 600 to 1000 °C were used for preparation of carbon supports. Thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, low-temperature nitrogen sorption, and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy methods were used to characterize the structure of the electrode materials and symmetrical membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs). The MEAs prepared were used to conduct the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)single-cell measurements. The polarization and power density curves for single cells were calculated to evaluate the activity of the catalyst materials synthesized. The electrochemically active surface area (from 2.4 to 11.9 m² g^?1) was obtained in order to estimate the contact surface areas of platinum and Nafion® electrolyte. The values of the electrolyte resistance, polarization resistance, and cell degradation rate were calculated from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data. The carbon materials synthesized within temperature range from 600 to 850 °C were found to be the most suitable supports for PEMFCs, having higher maximum power density values and better stability (cell potential degradation 240 μV h^?1) than commercial carbon-based (Vulcan XC72; 670 μV h^?1) single cells.

Electrochemical sensor for determination of aflatoxin B1 based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes-supported Au/Pt bimetallic nanoparticles

A sensitive and selective imprinted electrochemical sensor for the determination of aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) was constructed on a glassy carbon electrode by stepwise modification of functional multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs), Au/Pt bimetallic nanoparticles (Au/PtNPs), and a thin imprinted film. The fabrication of a homogeneous porous poly o-phenylenediamine (POPD)-grafted Au/Pt bimetallic multiwalled carbon nanotubes nanocomposite film was conducted by controllable electrodepositing technology. The sensitivity of the sensor was improved greatly because of the nanocomposite functional layer; the proposed sensor exhibited excellent selectivity toward AFB₁ owing to the porous molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) film. The surface morphologies of the modified electrodes were characterized using a scanning electron microscope. The performance of the imprinted sensor was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in detail. A linear relationship between the sensor response signal and the logarithm of AFB₁ concentrations ranging from 1?×?10^?10 to 1?×?10^?5 mol L^?1 was obtained with a detection limit of 0.03 nmol L^?1. It was applied to detect AFB₁ in hogwash oil successfully.     

Physical and electrochemical properties of La-doped LiFePO4/C composites as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Olivine-type LiFePO₄ is one of the most promising cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, but its poor conductivity and low lithium-ion diffusion limit its practical application. The electronic conductivity of LiFePO₄ can be improved by carbon coating and metal doping. A small amount of La-ion was added via ball milling by a solid-state reaction method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/mapping, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM)/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and total organic carbon (TOC). Their electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, four-point probe conductivity measurements, and galvanostatic charge and discharge tests. The results indicate that these La-ion dopants do not affect the structure of the material but considerably improve its rate capacity performance and cyclic stability. Among the materials, the LiFe_0.99La_0.01PO₄/C composite presents the best electrochemical behavior, with a discharge capacity of 156 mAh g^?1 between 2.8 and 4.0 V at a 0.2 C-rate compared to 104 mAh g^?1 for undoped LiFePO₄. Its capacity retention is 80% after 497 cycles for LiFe_0.99La_0.01PO₄/C samples. Such a significant improvement in electrochemical performance should be partly related to the enhanced electronic conductivities (from 5.88?×?10^?6 to 2.82?×?10^?3 S cm^?1) and probably the mobility of Li⁺ ion in the doped samples. The LiFe_0.99La_0.01PO₄/C composite developed here could be used as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Nanostructured ferrite/graphene/polyaniline using for supercapacitor to enhance the capacitive behavior

Graphene nanosheets, polyaniline (PANI), and nanocrystallites of transition metal ferrite {Fe₃O₄ (Mag), NiFe₂O₄ (NiF), and CoFe₂O₄ (CoF)} have been prepared and characterized via XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, UV–vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge discharges, and impedance spectroscopy. Electrochemical measurements showed that supercapacitances of hybrid electrodes made of the ternary materials are higher than that of hybrid electrode made of binary or single material. The ternary hybrid CoF/graphene (G)/PANI electrode exhibits a highest specific capacitance reaching 1123 Fg^?1, an energy density of 240 Wh kg^?1 at 1 A g^?1, and a power density of 2680 Wkg^?1 at 1 A g^?1 and outstanding cycling performance, with 98.2% capacitance retained over 2000 cycles. The extraordinary electrochemical performance of the ternary CoF/G/PANI hybrid can be attributed to the synergistic effects of the individual components. The PANI conducting polymer enhances an electron transport. The Ferrite nanoparticles prevent the restocking of the carbon sheets and provide Faradaic processes to increase the total capacitance.
