Resorcinol-formaldehyde resin-based porous carbon spheres with high CO_2 capture capacities

Porous carbon spheres are prepared by direct carbonization of potassium salt of resorcinol-formaldehyde resin spheres, and are investigated as CO_2 adsorbents. It is found that the prepared carbon materials still maintain the typical spherical shapes after the activation, and have highly developed ultra-microporosity with uniform pore size, indicating that almost the activation takes place in the interior of the polymer spheres. The narrow-distributed ultra-micropores are attributed to the "in-situ homogeneous activation"effect produced by the mono-dispersed potassium ions as a form of -OK groups in the bulk of polymer spheres. The CS-1 sample prepared under a KOH/resins weight ratio of 1 shows a very high CO_2 capture capacity of 4.83 mmol/g and good CO_2/N_2 selectivity of ~17-45. We believe that the presence of a welldeveloped ultra-microporosity is responsible for excellent CO_2 sorption performance at room temperature and ambient pressure.     

Influence of MgO template on carbon dioxide adsorption of cation exchange resin-based nanoporous carbon

In this work, porous carbons with well-developed pore structures were directly prepared from a weak acid cation exchange resin (CER) by the carbonization of a mixture with Mg acetate in different ratios. The effect of the Mg acetate-to-CER ratio on the pore structure and CO(2) adsorption capacities of the obtained porous carbons was studied. The textural properties and morphologies of the porous carbons were analyzed via N(2)/77K adsorption/desorption isotherms, SEM, and TEM, respectively. The CO(2) adsorption capacities of the prepared porous carbons were measured at 298 K and 1 bar and 30 bar. By dissolving the MgO template, the porous carbons exhibited high specific surface areas (326-1276 m(2)/g) and high pore volumes (0.258-0.687 cm(3)/g). The CO(2) adsorption capacities of the porous carbons were enhanced to 164.4 mg/g at 1 bar and 1045 mg/g at 30 bar by increasing the Mg acetate-to-CER ratio. This result indicates that CER was one of the carbon precursors to producing the porous structure, as well as for improving the CO(2) adsorption capacities of the carbon species.     

Preparation and characterization of templated porous carbons from sucrose by one-pot method and application as a CO2 adsorbent

The templated porous carbons were prepared from sucrose by one-pot method. In this method in which the pre-synthesis of the hard template is eliminated, the porous carbons were produced by organic-inorganic self-assembly of sucrose, tetraethyl ortosilicate (TEOS), Pluronic P123 and n-butanol in an acidic medium, and subsequent carbonization. The synthesis parameters such as sucrose amount, TEOS molar ratio and carbonization temperature were evaluated for describing their effects on the pore structures of the synthesized carbons. The prepared porous carbons were characterized by N₂ adsorption, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The carbon dioxide adsorption uptakes of the obtained porous carbons were determined at 1 bar and 273 K. The templated carbon obtained with the lowest TEOS molar ratio exhibited the highest BET surface area of 1289 m²/g and micropore volume of 0.467 cm³/g, and showed the highest CO₂ uptake of 2.28 mmol/g.

Yolk-shell Si/C composites with multiple Si nanoparticles encapsulated into double carbon shells as lithium-ion battery anodes

The conceptual design of yolk-shell structured Si/C composites is considered to be an effective way to improve the recyclability and conductivity of Si-based anode materials. Herein, a new type of yolk-shell structured Si/C composite(denoted as TSC-PDA-B) has been intelligently designed by rational engineering and precise control. In the novel structure, the multiple Si nanoparticles with small size are successfully encapsulated into the porous carbon shells with double layers benefiting from the strong etching effect of HF. The TSC-PDA-B product prepared is evaluated as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).The TSC-PDA-B product exhibits an excellent lithium storage performance with a high initial capacity of 2108 mAh g~(-1) at a current density of 100 mA g~(-1) and superior cycling performance of 1113 mAh g~(-1) over 200 cycles. The enhancement of lithium storage performance may be attributed to the construction of hybrid structure including small Si nanoparticles, high surface area, and double carbon shells, which can not only increase electrical conductivity and intimate electrical contact with Si nanoparticles, but also provide built-in buffer voids for Si nanoparticles to expand freely without damaging the carbon layer.The present findings can provide some scientific insights into the design and the application of advanced Si-based anode materials in energy storage fields.

Tetra-armed conjugated microporous polymers for gas adsorption and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Two novel tetra-armed conjugated microporous polymers with different geometries have been designed and synthesized via Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling polycondensation. Both polymers are stable in various organic solvents tested and are thermally stable. The pyrene-containing polymer of PrPy with the rigid pyrene unit shows a higher Brunauer-Emmet-Teller specific surface area of 1219 m~2 g~(-1) than the tetraphenylethylene-containing polymer of PrTPE(770 m~2 g~(-1)), which leads to a high CO_2 uptake ability of 3.89 mmol g~(-1) at 1.13 bar/273 K and a H_2 uptake ability of 1.69 wt% at 1.13 bar/77 K. The photocatalytic hydrogen production experiments revealed that PrPy also shows a better photocatalytic performance than PrTPE due to the higher conjugation degree and planar structure, the broader UV-visible(UV-Vis) absorption, the lower photoluminescence lifetime, and the higher specific surface area.     

Porous bowl-shaped VS_2 nanosheets/graphene composite for high-rate lithium-ion storage

Two-dimensional (2D) layered vanadium disulfide (VS_2) is a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) due to the high theoretical capacity.However,it remains a challenge to synthesize monodispersed ultrathin VS_2 nanosheets to realize the full potential.Herein,a novel solvothermal method has been developed to prepare the monodispersed bowl-shaped NH_3-inserted VS_2 nanosheets (VS_2).The formation of such a unique structure is caused by the blocked growth of (001) or (002) crystal planes in combination with a ripening process driven by the thermodynamics.The annealing treatment in Ar/H_2creates porous monodispersed VS_2(H-VS_2),which is subsequently integrated with graphene oxide to form porous monodispersed H-VS_2/rGO composite coupled with a reduction process.As an anode material for LIBs,H-VS_2/rGO delivers superior rate performance and longer cycle stability:a high average capacity of 868/525 mAh g~(-1) at a current density of 1/10 A g~(-1);a reversible capacity of 1177/889 mAh g~(-1) after 150/500 cycles at 0.2/1 A g~(-1).Such excellent electrochemical performance may be attributed to the increased active sites available for lithium storage,the alleviated volume variations and the shortened Li-ion diffusion induced from the porous structure with large specific surface area,as well as the protective effect from graphene nanosheets.

Self-propagating fabrication of 3D porous MXene-rGO film electrode for high-performance supercapacitors

2D MXene nanosheets with metallic conductivity and high pseudo-capacitance are promising electrode materials for supercapacitors.Especially,MXene films can be directly used as electrodes for flexible supercapacitors.However,they suffer from sluggish ion transport due to self-restacking,causing limited electrochemical performance.Herein,a flexible 3D porous MXene film is fabricated by incorporating graphene oxide(GO) into MXene film followed by self-propagating reduction.The self-propagating process is facile and effective,which can be accomplished in 1.25 s and result in 3D porous framework by releasing substantial gas instantaneously.As the 3D porous structure provides massive ion-accessible active sites and promotes fast ion transport,the MXene-rGO films exhibit superior capacitance and rate performance.With the rGO content of 20%,the MXene-rGO-20 film delivers a high capacitance of 329.9 F g^-1 at 5 mV s^-1 in 3 M H2 SO4 electrolyte and remains 260.1 F g^-1 at 1,000 mV s^-1 as well as good flexibility.Furthermore,the initial capacitance is retained above 90% after 40,000 cycles at 100 A g^-1,revealing good cycle stability.This work not only provides a high-performance flexible electrode for supercapacitors,but also proposes an efficient and time-saving strategy for constructing 3D structure from 2D materials.

The Co-incorporated Ce_(1-x)Zr_xO_2 catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation for carbon dioxide reforming of methane. The ratio of Ce to Zr was varied to optimize the performances of co-precipitated Co-Ce-Zr-O_x catalysts. The prepared catalysts were characterized by various physico-chemical characterization techniques including TPR, X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption at low temperature, XPS and CO_2-TPSR. The co-precipitated Co-Ce_(0.8)Zr_(0.2)O_2 sample containing 16% CoO exhibited a higher catalytic activity among the five catalysts, and the activity was maintained without significant loss during the reaction for 60 h. Under the conditions of 750 ℃, 0.1 MPa, 36000 ml/(h·g_(cat)), and CO_2/CH_4 molar ratio of 1 : 1, the CO_2 conversion over this catalyst was 75% while the CH_4 conversion was 67%. The cubic Ce_(0.8)Zr_(0.2)O_2 facilitated a higher dispersion and a higher reducibility of the cobalt component, and the apparent activation energy for Co-Ce_(0.8)Zr_(0.2)O_2 sample was 49.1 kJ/mol in the CO_2/CH_4 reforming reaction. As a result, the Co-Ce_(0.8)Zr_(0.2)O_2 sample exhibited a higher activity and stability for the reforming of CH_4 with CO_2.
