电解海水析氢反应过渡金属基催化剂的研究进展

海水作为地球上最丰富的自然资源之一,在实现大规模的电解水制氢方面具有得天独厚的优势。然而,海水中的Cl^-、Ca²⁺和Mg²⁺等使催化剂在阴极发生腐蚀、毒化或降解,导致其稳定性、活性以及使用寿命显著降低。近年来,为了解决上述问题,人们致力于设计开发廉价的高效稳定析氢反应（HER）催化剂,进而提高电解海水制氢效率。本文首先介绍了电解海水的优势及其HER所面临的挑战,其次从活性和稳定性等方面重点论述了硒化物、硫化物、氮化物以及磷化物等过渡金属基催化剂在电解海水HER中的研究进展,最后总结和展望了电解海水HER催化剂未来的发展前景。     

金纳米棒负载的静电纺丝纤维的制备及其表面增强拉曼光谱性能

为简单有效地制备高活性表面增强拉曼光谱(Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy,SERS)基底。本文采用静电纺丝聚乙烯醇(PVA)/聚丙烯酸(PAA)纳米纤维为支撑材料,通过直接浸泡的方法,利用金纳米棒与电纺纤维之间的静电力,使纳米棒在纤维表面自组装,得到了性能优异的SERS基底。通过透射电子显微镜、扫描电子显微镜对金纳米棒以及不同状态下的电纺纤维的形貌进行表征,结果表明,金纳米棒均匀且密集地负载在纤维表面。通过设置不同的浸泡时间确定了金纳米棒组装平衡的时间为12 h,并通过调控纺丝时间和金纳米棒的浓度发现随着纺丝时间和金纳米棒浓度的增加,复合纤维膜SERS增强效果随之提升。该复合纤维膜具有优异的SERS均匀性,并且能够检测到浓度低至10~(-10)mol/L的4-氨基苯硫酚的存在。     

Research Progress of Carbon-Encapsulated Iron-Based Nanoparticles Electrocatalysts for Zinc-Air Batteries北大核心CSCD

Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are regarded as one of the most promising candidates for a new generation of advanced energy conversion and storage devices,while the inferior activity and stability of air cathode electrocatalysts largely hinder the widespread application of ZABs. The extensive efforts for exploring and designing high active yet stable air cathode catalysts is,therefore,indispensable for the improvement of ZABs performance. Recently,carbon-encapsulated iron-based nanoparticles have been reported to exhibit excellent oxygen catalytic performance on account of their resistance to corrosion,oxidation,and aggregation under harsh conditions,and have been widely used as cathode materials for ZABs. As a result,we systematically summarize the applications of carbon-encapsulated transition metal iron-based materials as cathode catalysts for ZABs. In this review,the basic principle of ZABs and challenges faced by air cathode catalysts are firstly expounded. Then, the research progress of the carbon-encapsulated iron-based nanoparticles electrocatalysts (such as iron-based and its alloy,carbide,oxide and phosphide,et al.) are emphatically discussed and analyzed. Finally,the future development perspectives of carbon-encapsulated iron-based electrocatalysts in the applications of ZABs are put forward. © 2022, Science Press (China). All rights reserved.
