Colloidal Supercapattery: Redox Ions in Electrode and Electrolyte

Redox chemistry is the cornerstone of various electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems, associated with ion diffusion process. To actualize both high energy and power density in energy storage devices, both multiple electron transfer reaction and fast ion diffusion occurred in one electrode material are prerequisite. The existence forms of redox ions can lead to different electrochemical thermodynamic and kinetic properties. Here, we introduce novel colloid system, which includes multiple varying ion forms, multi‐interaction and abundant redox active sites. Unlike redox cations in solution and crystal materials, colloid system has specific reactivity‐structure relationship. In the colloidal ionic electrode, the occurrence of multiple‐electron redox reactions and fast ion diffusion leaded to ultrahigh specific capacitance and fast charge rate. The colloidal ionic supercapattery coupled with redox electrolyte provides a new potential technique for the comprehensive use of redox ions including cations and anions in electrode and electrolyte and a guiding design for the development of next‐generation high performance energy storage devices.     

Methyl orange degradation enhanced by hydrogen spillover onto platinum nanocatalyst surface

Following a thermal reduction method, platinum nanoparticles were synthesized and stabilized by polyvinylpyrrolidone. The colloidal platinum nanoparticles were stable for more than 3 months. The micrograph analysis unveiled that the colloidal platinum nanoparticles were well dispersed with an average size of 2.53 nm. The sol–gel‐based inverse micelle strategy was applied to synthesize mesoporous iron oxide material. The colloidal platinum nanoparticles were deposited on mesoporous iron oxide through the capillary inclusion method. The small‐angle X‐ray scattering analysis indicated that the dimension of platinum nanoparticles deposited on mesoporous iron oxide (Pt‐Fe₂O₃) was 2.64 nm. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data showed that the binding energy on Pt‐Fe₂O₃ surface decreased owing to mesoporous support–nanoparticle interaction. Both colloidal and deposited platinum nanocatalysts improved the degradation of methyl orange under reduction conditions. The activation energy on the deposited platinum nanocatalyst interface (2.66 kJ mol^?1) was significantly lowered compared with the one on the colloidal platinum nanocatalyst interface (40.63 ± 0.53 kJ mol^?1).     

Colloidal Surface Active Maghemite Nanoparticles for Biologically Safe CrVI Remediation: from Core‐Shell Nanostructures to Pilot Plant Development

The present study is aimed at the exploration of achievable improvements for Cr^VI ex situ and in situ water remediation by using novel naked colloidal maghemite (γ‐Fe₂O₃) nanoparticles (surface active maghemite nanoparticles, SAMNs). The reliability of SAMNs for Cr^VI binding and removal was demonstrated, and SAMN@Cr^VI complex was characterized, as well as the covalent nature of the absorption was unequivocally proved. SAMNs were structurally and magnetically well conserved after Cr^VI binding. Thus, in consideration of their affinity for Cr^VI, SAMNs were exploited in a biological model system, mimicking a real in situ application. The assay evidenced a progressive reduction of revertant colonies of Salmonella typhimurium TA100 strain, as maghemite nanoparticles concentration increased, till the complete suppression of Cr^VI mutagen effect. Finally, an automatic modular pilot system for continuous magnetic removal and recovery of Cr^VI from water is proposed. SAMNs, thanks to their colloidal, binding, and catalytic properties, represent a promising tool as a reliable nanomaterial for water remediation by Cr^VI.     

Germanium nanoparticles from solvated atoms: synthesis and characterization

Germanium nanoparticles were synthesized by the chemical liquid deposition method (CLD) in which the Ge atoms, produced resistively, were co-deposited with 2-propanol, acetone and tetrahydrofurane vapors to obtain colloidal dispersions. The colloidal dispersions were characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The Germanium colloids are, in general, kinetically unstable. Strong absorption bands in the UV region suggest that nanoparticles obtained by this procedure exhibit quantum confinement. In the Ge colloids, the particle size distribution is highly sensitive to concentration change. For example, the TEM measurements revealed for the Ge-2-propanol colloid, particle sizes close to 3 nm for a concentration of 10^–3 M and 30 nm for a concentration of 10^–2 M. The HRTEM and SAED showed the high crystallinity of the nanoparticles, and it was possible to observe the typical lattice spaces of a diamond cubic Ge structure. The FTIR studies revealed the Ge-organic nature of the particles surface. Mechanisms and structures have been proposed for surface reactions.

A novel colloid method using (WO₃)_n·xH₂O as colloidal source was developed to prepare Pd/C catalyst for formic acid oxidation.

Electrochemical measurements indicate that the Pd/C catalyst exhibits significantly high electrochemical active surface area and high catalytic activity with good stability for formic acid oxidation compared with that prepared by common method. The colloid method is very simple and has great potentials for mass-producing Pd/C and others noble metal catalysts.     

Development of a new sensor material based on crystalline colloidal arrays embedded into polymer network

This study reports the development of a novel sensing material that reports on analyte concentrations via diffraction of visible light from polymerized crystalline colloidal arrays (PCCA). The PCCA contains periodic crystalline colloidal array (CCA) of spherical polystyrene colloids. This new method permanently locks the order of the CCA by embedding the CCA into a polymer network. These materials are mostly used in the development of novel materials which are basically called sensors for metal ions and all kinds of organic molecules. The polymer around the crystalline colloid can be functionalized with some recognition molecule, making these materials useful as optical sensors. We developed a sensor, utilizing crown ether, 2-aminomethyl-18-crown-6 (2A18C6) as the recognition agent, that detects K⁺ in the concentration range from 5 to 160 ppm.     

A Porous Mooncake-Shaped Li4Ti5O12 Anode Material Modified by SmF3 and Its Electrochemical Performance in Lithium Ion Batteries

Reasonably designing and synthesizing advanced electrode materials is significant to enhance the electrochemical performance of lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, a metal–organic framework (MOF, Mil-125) was used as a precursor and template to successfully synthesize the porous mooncake-shaped Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ (LTO) anode material assembled from nanoparticles. Even more critical, SmF₃ was used to modify the prepared porous mooncake-shaped LTO material. The SmF₃-modified LTO maintained a porous mooncake-shaped structure with a large specific surface area, and the SmF₃ nanoparticles were observed to be attach on the surface of the LTO material. It has been proven that the SmF₃ modification can further facilitate the transition from Ti⁴⁺ to Ti³⁺, reduce the polarization of electrode, decrease charge transfer impedance (R_ct) and solid electrolyte interface impedance (R_sei), and increase the lithium ion diffusion coefficient (D_Li), thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of LTO. Therefore, the porous mooncake-shaped LTO modified using 2 wt % SmF₃ displays a large specific discharge capacity of 143.8 mAh g⁻¹ with an increment of 79.16 % compared to pure LTO at a high rate of 10 C (1 C=170 mAh g⁻¹), and shows a high retention rate of 96.4 % after 500 cycles at 5 C-rate.     

ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF ASPHALTENE PARTICLES IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS

The electrical properties of colloidal asphaltene/water solution interface were determined by carrying out the potentiometric titration and electrokinetic measurements. Asphaltenes in aqueous solutions exhibit typical organic colloid properties i.e. surface charge and electrophoretic mobility. It was considered that the surface charge at the asphaltene particles is a result of protonation and dissociation reactions of surface functional groups. On the base of the surface charge density data vs. pH the surface reaction constants were calculated by numerical method. The agreement of these values with calculated ones, on the base of ζ potential data, is noticeable.

The characteristic feature of the investigated systems is the maximum, appearing on the curve ζ potential vs. electrolyte concentration. This behaviour is explained by _”hair layer ” structure of the asphaltene surface     

Viscosity of liquid suspensions with fractal aggregates: Magnetic nanoparticles in petroleum colloidal structures

New physical model is presented resulting in a simple formula for the dependence of viscosity η of colloidal liquid solution on the shear rate G applicable to a wide variety of systems including complex natural liquids like petroleum. The principal point of the model is the fractal nature of colloid particle aggregates present in the liquid. Such aggregates are experimentally detected now in non-Newtonian liquids. The model is based on calculation of energy loss on colloidal particle aggregate of fractal structure localized in the flow of liquid with shear rate. We have performed the viscosity measurement experiments which confirmed successfully the developed physical model. Also, we demonstrate experimentally that petroleum colloidal particles and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles can form composite fractal-like aggregates in natural petroleum materials. Our model can explain both the non-Newtonian properties of petroleum and sensitivity of petroleum viscosity to external magnetic fields.
