TiO2/石墨烯复合材料的光生电荷分离调控与光催化产氢性能研究

半导体光生电荷分离是光催化过程中的关键步骤之一,其效率极大地影响了最终光催化性能.将TiO₂纳米片与石墨烯复合,能够促进TiO₂中光生电子和空穴的分离,从而提高其光催化活性.为了研究光生电荷的分离对TiO₂/石墨烯复合材料光催化性能的影响,通过调控TiO₂纳米片的尺寸来调节TiO₂/石墨烯复合材料中光生电荷分离的能力,然后研究其对TiO₂/石墨烯复合材料光催化性能的影响.合成了一系列不同厚度的TiO₂纳米片,将其与石墨烯复合,并通过光沉积负载Pt纳米颗粒作为助催化剂,用于光催化产氢.实验结果显示,随着TiO₂纳米片厚度减小,其与石墨烯形成的复合结构的光催化性能显著提高.这主要是由于TiO₂纳米片厚度减小时,光生电子沿厚度方向穿过TiO₂纳米片迁移到石墨烯的距离缩短,从而减少了光生电子在迁移过程中与空穴的复合;同时TiO₂纳米片厚度减小使其比表面积增大,使得TiO₂/石墨烯界面面积增大,从而使石墨烯更好地分离出TiO₂中的光生电子,有更多的光生电子到达石墨烯参与催化反应,提高TiO₂/石墨烯复合材料的光催化性能.此研究表明通过控制TiO₂纳米片的尺寸来调控TiO₂/石墨烯复合材料中光生电子和空穴的分离,是显著提高其光催化性能的有效途径.

固体酸WO3/TiO2负载锂锰催化剂组成对其甲烷氧化偶联反应性能的影响

The selective oxidation of methane to basic petrochemicals (ethylene and ethane) is desirable and has attracted extensive research attention. The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is considered a promising one-step route for the production of C₂ compounds (ethylene and ethane) from methane, and has been the focus of industrial and fundamental studies. It is widely accepted that the composition is a crucial factor governing the activity of a catalyst system. It was found that the phase structures, basicity, existing status and distribution of the active components, oxygen species, and chemical states of the catalyst were influenced by the composition and ratio, resulting in different catalytic performances for the OCM. In this study, a series of solid acid WO₃/TiO₂-supported lithium-manganese oxide catalysts for OCM were synthesized via the impregnation method. The impacts of diverse compositions, such as the individual contents (Li and Mn) and dual contents (Li-Mn), on the OCM were investigated in detail, using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, CO₂-temperature-programmed desorption, O₂-temperature-programmed desorption, H₂-temperature-programmed reduction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and CH₄-temperature-programmed surface reaction. The addition of Li content to the catalyst not only led to the anatase-to-rutile crystal structure transformation of TiO₂, and the reduction of the high-valence-state Mn species to low-valence-state Mn, but also increased the content of surface lattice oxygen and decreased the surface basicity. The observed effects on the structures and catalytic performance suggest that the Li content is helpful in suppressing the formation of completely oxidized CO₂, and increases the C₂ selectivity. Moreover, increasing the Li content of the catalyst facilitated the mobility of the lattice oxygen, which triggered the promotion of CH₄ activation, thereby enhancing the OCM catalytic performance. The Mn content acted as the active sites for OCM; therefore, the performance of the catalyst was closely related to the Mn concentration and valence state. However, the WO₃/TiO₂-supported catalyst with excessive Mn content exhibited a high surface basicity, high valence state of Mn, and low abundant lattice oxygen, which was unfavorable for C₂ selectivity. The Raman spectroscopy results revealed that MnTiO₃ was formed due to the co-existence of Li and Mn on WO₃/TiO₂, and played an essential role in improving the low-temperature OCM performance. There was a synergic effect of the Li and Mn components on the OCM. The optimal performance (16.3% C₂ yield) was achieved over the WO₃/TiO₂-supported lithium-manganese catalyst with n(Li) : n(Mn) = 2 : 1 at 750 ℃.     

二维M_2XO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)(M=Ti,V;X=C,N)析氢催化活性的第一性原理研究

MXene是一种新型的二维析氢催化材料,其表面容易被亲水基团O和OH混合覆盖。我们基于第一性原理计算的方法,研究了M_2XO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)(M=Ti,V;X=C,N)的析氢催化活性。计算结果显示,M_2XO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)的析氢催化活性与其表面OH覆盖率(X)密切相关。对Ti_2CO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)来说,OH覆盖率不超过1/3时,具有优异的析氢催化活性。对Ti_2NO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)、V_2CO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)和V_2NO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)来说,OH覆盖率分别达到4/9、1/3和5/9时,才具有最佳的析氢催化活性。接着,电荷分析显示OH覆盖率会显著影响M_2XO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)活性位点O基团的电荷量。最后,我们从态密度的角度揭示了析氢催化活性变化的原因,即活性位点O基团的氧化性随OH覆盖率的增大而被削弱。因此,本文提出了调节表面OH覆盖率来获取M_2XO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)最佳析氢催化活性状态的方法,这在工业制氢生产过程中具有重要的应用价值。     

石墨烯负载的氧配位钴单原子稳定金属锂负极

Lithium (Li)-based batteries are the dominant energy source for consumer electronics, grid storage, and electrified transportation. However, the development of batteries based on graphite anodes is hindered by their limited energy density. With its ultrahigh theoretical capacity (3860 mAh∙g⁻¹), low redox potential (−3.04 V), and satisfactorily low density (0.54 g∙cm⁻³), Li metal is the most promising anode for next-generation high-energy-density batteries. Unfortunately, the limited cycling life and safety issues raised by dendrite growth, unstable solid electrolyte interphase, and "dead Li" have inhibited their practical use. An effective strategy is to develop a suitable lithiophilic matrix for regulating initial Li nucleation behavior and controlling subsequent Li growth. Herein, single-atom cobalt coordinated to oxygen sites on graphene (Co-O-G SA) is demonstrated as a Li plating substrate to efficiently regulate Li metal nucleation and growth. Owing to its dense and more uniform lithiophilic sites than single-atom cobalt coordinated to nitrogen sites on graphene (Co-N-G SA), high electronic conductivity, and high specific surface area (519 m²∙g⁻¹), Co-O-G SA could significantly reduce the local current density and promote the reversibility of Li plating and stripping. As a result, the Co-O-G SA based Li anodes exhibited a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.9% at a current density of 1 mA∙cm⁻² with a capacity of 1 mAh∙cm⁻², and excellent rate capability (high current density of 8 mA∙cm⁻²). Even at a high plating capacity of 6 mAh∙cm⁻², the Co-O-G SA electrode could stably cycle for an ultralong lifespan of 1300 h. In the symmetric battery, the Co-O-G SA based Li anode (Co-O-G SA/Li) possessed a stable voltage profile of 18 mV for 780 h at 1 mA∙cm⁻², and even at a high current density of 3 mA∙cm⁻², its overpotential maintained a small hysteresis of approximately 24 mV for > 550 h. Density functional theory calculations showed that the surface of Co-O-G SA had a stronger interaction with Li atoms with a larger binding energy, −3.1 eV, than that of Co-N-G SA (−2.5 eV), leading to a uniform distribution of metallic Li on the Co-O-G SA surface. More importantly, when matched with a sulfur cathode, the resulting Co-O-G SA/lithium sulfur full batteries exhibited a high capacity of 1002 mAh∙g⁻¹, improved kinetics with a small polarization of 191 mV, and an ultralow capacity decay rate of 0.036% per cycle for 1000 cycles at 0.5C (1C = 1675 mA∙g⁻¹) with a steady Coulombic efficiency of nearly 100%. Therefore, this work provides novel insights into the coordination environment of single atoms for the chemistry of Li metal anodes for high-energy-density batteries.     

镶嵌于NH2-MIL-125 (Ti)衍生氮掺多孔碳中的花状超细纳米TiO2作为高活性和稳定性的锂离子电池负极材料

由于具有高安全性和优异的循环稳定性,二氧化钛(TiO₂)作为负极材料被广泛地应用于锂离子电池领域。但是较差的导电性和离子传输速率限制了TiO₂的进一步应用和发展。鉴于此,我们以花状NH₂-MIL-125 (Ti)为前驱体和硬模板,成功合成出了具有花状结构的超细纳米TiO₂/多孔氮掺杂碳片(N-doped porous carbon)复合物(记为FL-TiO₂/NPC)。过程中所制备的纳米TiO₂-金属有机构架(Ti-MOF)展现出由二维褶皱多孔纳米片堆积、组装而成的花状结构。一方面,二维褶皱纳米片包含TiO₂纳米颗粒可以增大活性物质与电解液的接触面积;另一方面,氮掺杂多孔碳基体可以提高整体复合物的导电性和结构完整性。将所获得的FL-TiO₂/NPC作为负极组装成的锂半电池, 在0.5 A·g^-1、300圈后仍有384.2 mAh·g^-1以及在1 A·g^-1、500圈仍有279.1 mAh·g^-1的比容量。进一步性能测试表明,在2 A·g^-1、2000圈长循环测试后,其仍能保持256.5 mAh·g^-1的比容量和接近100%的库伦效率。该优异的电化学活性和稳定性主要起源于材料独特的花状结构。我们的合成策略为今后制备高储锂性能的金属氧化物/多孔氮掺杂碳负极提供了一种新的思路。     

Mechanism of lithium intercalation in titanates

First principles calculations of Li insertion in a variety of titanate structures have revealed a common mechanism underlying the intercalation behavior of these materials. The mechanism is based on the accommodation of the electron density donated upon intercalation in particular orbitals of Ti ions and is governed by a strong coupling between the structural and electronic degrees of freedom. A new predictive model is developed which relates the local structure of TiO₂ polymorphs to their phase behavior upon Li intercalation.     

Insights into Layered Oxide Cathodes for Rechargeable Batteries

Layered intercalation compounds are the dominant cathode materials for rechargeable Li-ion batteries. In this article we summarize in a pedagogical way our work in understanding how the structure’s topology, electronic structure, and chemistry interact to determine its electrochemical performance. We discuss how alkali–alkali interactions within the Li layer influence the voltage profile, the role of the transition metal electronic structure in dictating O3-structural stability, and the mechanism for alkali diffusion. We then briefly delve into emerging, next-generation Li-ion cathodes that move beyond layered intercalation hosts by discussing disordered rocksalt Li-excess structures, a class of materials which may be essential in circumventing impending resource limitations in our era of clean energy technology.

高强度聚乙烯醇/聚苯胺/聚吡咯/TiO2导电杂化水凝胶的制备与性能

本文以聚乙烯醇(PVA)、苯胺(ANI)、吡咯(Py)及钛酸丁酯(TBOT)为原料,通过溶胶-凝胶法、原位氧化聚合法及冷冻-融溶法一步得到聚乙烯醇/聚苯胺/聚吡咯/TiO 2(PVA/PANI/PPy/TiO 2)杂化水凝胶。结果表明,该杂化水凝胶具有优异的力学性能和导电性能。当n(ANI)∶[KG-*3/5]n(Py)=8∶[KG-*3/5]2(TBOT体积为100μL)时,其压缩强度高达2.45 MPa。同时,在外加电源的作用下,该凝胶能够使灯泡发光。当n(ANI)∶[KG-*3/5]n(Py)=2∶[KG-*3/5]8(TBOT体积为150μL)时,杂化水凝胶的电导率(0.25 S/m)最好。该杂化水凝胶有望广泛地应用在柔性可穿戴电子器件、安全离子电池、传感器和生物器件等领域。     

影响TiMnx非计量比合金储氢容量的结构因素

以TiMn_x (x = 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7)非计量比合金为对象,系统研究了储氢容量与其内在结构之间的相关性。结果表明,所有合金的主相均为C14型Laves相,但其储氢容量却存在显著差异。其中TiMn_1.4合金的储氢量约为0.65% (w,质量分数),吸/放氢平台较倾斜,且存在明显的滞后;而TiMn_1.5合金的可逆储氢量达到1.2% (w),平台较为平坦;但继续增加x,其储氢量反而降低,如x = 1.6合金的储氢量仅为0.30% (w),而x = 1.7合金则几乎不吸氢。进一步结构解析表明,上述储氢容量的迥异主要归因于部分Ti原子占据Mn(2a)位置,且其占位率随x的增加而降低,随之C14相中贮氢四面体间隙体积减小;而引起贮氢四面体间隙体积发生变化的主要因素是Ti―Ti键和Mn(2a)―Mn(2a)键的键长,其中Mn(2a)―Mn(2a)键长的增加对合金储氢容量的提升起关键作用。
