Oxygen-evolving SnOz-based Ceramic Anodes in Aluminium Electrolysis

This study deals with SnO2-based ceramic anodes doped with Sb203 and CuO, aiming at contributing new data regarding their electrochemical behavior in cryolite melts. The performances of the anodes were evaluated by anodic polarization, cyclic voltammetry, and current efficiency and corrosion measurements. The investigation proves that the anodic process of SnO2-based inert anodes occurs at a low overvoltage and the oxygen discharge takes place in one step with an exchange of two electrons. The current efficiency and corrosion were proved to be dependent on the electrolysis parameters and composition of electrolysis bath. For a long term electrolysis, the dissolution of the anode in the cryolite-alumina melt produced small aluminium contamination（ca. 0.2%, mass fraction）.

Platium Film Electrodes (1) Platium Film on Ti or TiO2-Covered Ti

A platium film was formed on a Ti(Pt-Ti) and on a TiO₂(Pt-TiO₂-Ti) substrate by the conventional electroplating method (ELP) and by the electroless plating technique (ELSP). The effective minimum film thickness was found to be 0.5 μm judging from the maximum electrocatalytic capablity in alkaline (1 M NaOH) water electrolysis. The film obtained from ELP is superior to that obtained from ELSP, being more tightly bound to the substrate, showing better coverage of the subsrate surface, and also being mechanically stronger. Comparisons with bright Pt and with Pt-black electrodes were made and it is concluded that the electrodes newly prepared using ELP will work as well as Pt-black electrods. The electrodes from ELSP are useful only as cathodes, and are not suitable as anodes.

Constructing Co3O4 Nanowires on Carbon Fiber Film as a Lithiophilic Host for Stable Lithium Metal Anodes

Lithium metal has been considered as the most promising anode electrode for substantially improving the energy density of next‐generation energy storage devices. However, uncontrollable lithium dendrite growth, an unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI), and infinite volume variation severely shortens its service lifespan and causes safety hazards, thus hindering the practical application of lithium metal electrodes. Here, carbon fiber film (CFF) modified by lithiophilic Co₃O₄ nanowires (denoted as Co₃O₄ Nws) was proposed as a matrix for prestoring lithium metal through a thermal infusion method. The homogeneous needle‐like Co₃O₄ nanowires can effectively promote molten lithium to infiltrate into the CFF skeleton. The post‐formed Co?Li₂O nanowires produced by the reaction of Co₃O₄ Nws and molten lithium can homogeneously distribute lithium ions flux and efficaciously increase the adsorption energy with lithium ions proved by density functional theory (DFT) calculation, boosting a uniform lithium deposition without dendrite growth. Therefore, the obtained composite anode (denoted as CFF/Co?Li₂O@Li) exhibits superior electrochemical performance with high stripping/plating capacities of 3 mAh cm^?2 and 5 mAh cm^?2 over long‐term cycles in symmetrical batteries. Moreover, in comparison with bare lithium anode, superior Coulombic efficiencies coupled with copper collector and full battery behaviors paired with LiFePO₄ cathode are achieved when CFF/Co?Li₂O@Li composite anode was employed.

A Laboratory Investigation of the Reduction of Chromium Oxide by a Reverse-Polarity DC Plasma-Driven Molten Oxide Electrolysis Process

A method for producing chromium metal/chromium alloys using a reverse-polarity DC plasma-driven molten oxide electrolysis process was investigated. A laboratory-scale 50 kW DC plasma-crucible system was designed and built to investigate the feasibility of this process. Experiments on molten oxide electrolysis were successfully conducted to produce chromium metal from chromic oxide. Two starting slag systems, SiO₂–CaO–Al₂O₃–Cr₂O₃–Na₂O and SiO₂–CaO–Cr₂O₃–Na₂O, were used in this study. It was found that in each case chromic oxide was successfully reduced to metallic chromium. Aluminum was also reduced with the presence of alumina in the starting slag. Small amounts of carbon monoxide gas were introduced to the electrolysis system to study oxygen evolution rates from the plasma/slag interface. For the SiO₂–CaO–Al₂O₃–Cr₂O₃–Na₂O system, the oxygen evolution rate showed a maximum during the electrolysis process. For the SiO₂–CaO–Cr₂O₃–Na₂O system, the oxygen evolution rates displayed a declining trend with processing time. These two reduction behaviors were apparently controlled by different mechanisms. The significance of this process is that it might be used to produce carbon-free chromium metal/chromium alloys without carbon containing reducing agent and since no carbon based reactants are used for heating or reduction there are no carbon dioxide emissions.

A Two‐Dimensional Mesoporous Polypyrrole–Graphene Oxide Heterostructure as a Dual‐Functional Ion Redistributor for Dendrite‐Free Lithium Metal Anodes

Guiding the lithium ion (Li‐ion) transport for homogeneous, dispersive distribution is crucial for dendrite‐free Li anodes with high current density and long‐term cyclability, but remains challenging for the unavailable well‐designed nanostructures. Herein, we propose a two‐dimensional (2D) heterostructure composed of defective graphene oxide (GO) clipped on mesoporous polypyrrole (mPPy) as a dual‐functional Li‐ion redistributor to regulate the stepwise Li‐ion distribution and Li deposition for extremely stable, dendrite‐free Li anodes. Owing to the synergy between the Li‐ion transport nanochannels of mPPy and the Li‐ion nanosieves of defective GO, the 2D mPPy‐GO heterostructure achieves ultralong cycling stability (1000 cycles), even tests at 0 and 50 °C, and an ultralow overpotential of 70 mV at a high current density of 10.0 mA cm^?2, outperforming most reported Li anodes. Furthermore, mPPy‐GO‐Li/LiCoO₂ full batteries demonstrate remarkably enhanced performance with a capacity retention of >90 % after 450 cycles. Therefore, this work opens many opportunities for creating 2D heterostructures for high‐energy‐density Li metal batteries.     

Structural Evolution of Pt,Au and Cu Anodes by Electrolysis up to Contact Glow Discharge Electrolysis in Alkaline Electrolytes**

Applying a voltage to metal electrodes in contact with aqueous electrolytes results in the electrolysis of water at voltages above the decomposition voltage and plasma formation in the electrolyte at much higher voltages referred to as contact glow discharge electrolysis (CGDE). While several studies explore parameters that lead to changes in the I–U characteristics in this voltage range, little is known about the evolution of the structural properties of the electrodes. Here we study this aspect on materials essential to electrocatalysis, namely Pt, Au, and Cu. The stationary I–U characteristics are almost identical for all electrodes. Detailed structural characterization by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electrochemical approaches reveal that Pt is stable during electrolysis and CGDE, while Au and Cu exhibit a voltage-dependent oxide formation. More importantly, oxides are reduced when the Au and Cu electrodes are kept in the electrolysis solution after electrolysis. We suspect that H₂O₂ (formed during electrolysis) is responsible for the oxide reduction. The reduced oxides (which are also accessible via electrochemical reduction) form a porous film, representing a possible new class of materials in energy storage and conversion studies.
