Mn2+浓度对钒液流电池正极液的电化学性能影响

电解液中金属离子会影响钒液流电池的电化学性能。本文采用循环伏安法和电化学阻抗谱研究了正极液中Mn2+浓度对V髨/V(Ⅳ)电对的氧化还原过程影响规律,发现Mn2+在正极液中没有发生副反应,但严重影响V髨/V(Ⅳ)的反应活性、电极反应可逆性、离子扩散与电荷转移反应等电化学性能。循环伏安测试结果表明Mn2+浓度为0.04-0.13 g.L-1时,V髨/V(Ⅳ)电对电极反应可逆性和反应活性较高,钒离子扩散系数由参照溶液中的8.89×10-7-1.098×10-6增大至1.302×10-6-1.800×10-6 cm2.s-1,提高了-60%;电化学阻抗测试结果表明Mn2+浓度为0-0.04 g.L-1时,V髨/V(Ⅳ)电对电极反应阻抗和界面阻抗均较参照溶液中的增加不明显,但当Mn2+浓度增至0.07 g.L-1时,上述阻抗值较参照溶液增大了25%-28%。基于二者结果,Mn2+对电极反应有不同程度的负面影响,但是适当的Mn2+浓度有利于钒离子的扩散。

苯甲醚及其溴取代物用作锂离子电池防过充添加剂的研究

选择苯甲醚、2-溴苯甲醚、3-溴苯甲醚作为锂离子电池有机电解液的防过充添加剂. 采用循环伏安测试、恒流充放电测试、电化学阻抗分析、扫描电镜分析等手段, 研究三种添加剂的防过充作用效果, 以及对LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ (NCM)正极性能的影响. 结果表明: 三种添加剂均具有合适的氧化电位和良好的氧化还原特性, 能够提高锂离子电池的防过充性能. 其中2-溴苯甲醚的防过充作用效果最优, 电池经0.1 C充电长达近50 h后才达到5 V截止电压, 且可承受过充的次数相对最多, 但该添加剂对NCM正极的循环性能影响较大; 苯甲醚的防过充效果仅次于2-溴苯甲醚, NCM正极在添加有苯甲醚的电解液中循环性能良好, 0.2 C充放电循环80次后容量仍能保持93.8%左右. 含上述三种添加剂的电池经过充后, 均会有一部分氧化还原产物吸附在NCM正极表面, 增加电池的整体阻抗, 其中含2-溴苯甲醚的电池表现最为明显.

Cyclic voltammetric study of vanadium(V)/(IV) as a redox catalyst in non-aqueous media

A basic study for possible kinetic-catalytic methods in non-aqueous solvents with vanadium as a redox catalyst is described. The redox behaviour of the V(V)/V(IV) couple is studied by cyclic voltanimetry at a carbon electrode in acetonitrile. Vanadium oscillates between the two oxidation states without chemical side reactions, and is thus promising as a redox catalyst in non-aqueous media. The oxidizing power of the couple is increased with increasing p-toluenesulphonic acid concentrations and is decreased in the presence of solvents of increasing donor strength. The influence of common activators on the formal potential of the couple is discussed.     

Towards an all-vanadium redox flow battery with higher theoretical volumetric capacities by utilizing the VO~(2+)/V~(3+) couple

An all-vanadium redox flow battery with V(IV)as the sole parent active species is developed by accessing the VO~(2+)/V~(3+)redox couple.These batteries,referred to as V4RBs,possess a higher theoretical volumetric capacity than traditional VRBs.Copper ions were identified as an effective additive to boost the battery performance.     

Elucidation of the redox behavior of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMcT) at poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-modified electrodes and application of the DMcT-PEDOT composite cathodes to lithium/lithium ion batteries

The redox reactions of DMcT at PEDOT-modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) in acetonitrile (AN) have been investigated via cyclic voltammetry (CV) and the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) in order to elucidate the redox reaction mechanism. A redox couple at -0.29 V versus Ag/Ag+ was assigned to the dimerization process of singly protonated DMcT (DMcT-1H), and a second couple observed at +0.42 V was assigned to the polymerization process of the protonated DMcT dimer. Our investigations revealed further that the anodic current response at +0.55 V (polymerization process) has a shoulder at +0.38 V ascribed to the dimerization process of doubly protonated DMcT (DMcT-2H), indicating that the redox couple at +0.42 V is the overlapping response of the polymerization of the protonated DMcT dimer and the dimerization of the DMcT-2H monomer. It was also confirmed that the dimerization process of DMcT-1H at -0.29 V proceeded not only at the surface of a PEDOT film but also inside the film as previously suggested. Moreover, the thermodynamics of these redox reactions at PEDOT-modified GCEs are dependent on the basicity (or acidity) of the solution, as anticipated and previously shown at unmodified GCEs. The oxidation of DMcT occurs at less positive potentials and the reduction occurs at more negative potentials in the presence of base. On the basis of the results obtained, the full redox reaction scheme for DMcT at a PEDOT-modified GCE is proposed.     

The catalytic effect of bismuth for VO_2~+/VO~(2+) and V~(3+)/V~(2+) redox couples in vanadium flow batteries

The effect of bismuth(Bi) for both VO_2~+/VO2+ and V~(3+)/V~(2+) redox couples in vanadium flow batteries(VFBs) has been investigated by directly introducing Bi on the surface of carbon felt(CF).The results show that Bi has no catalytic effect for VO_2~+/VO2+ redox couple.During the first charge process,Bi is oxidized to Bi~(3+)(never return back to Bi metal in the subsequent cycles) due to the low standard redox potential of 0.308 V(vs.SHE) for Bi3+/Bi redox couple compared with VO_2+/VO2+ redox couple and Bi~(3+)exhibit no(or neglectable) electro-catalytic activity.Additionally,the relationship between Bi loading and electrochemical activity for V~(3+)/V~(2+) redox couple was studied in detail.2 wt%Bi-modified carbon felt(2%-BiCF) exhibits the highest electrochemical activity.Using it as negative electrode,a high energy efficiency(EE) of 79.0%can be achieved at a high current density of 160mA/cm~2,which is 5.5%higher than the pristine one.Moreover,the electrolyte utilization ratio is also increased by more than 30%.Even the cell operated at 140mA/cm2 for over 300 cycles,the EE can reach 80.9%without obvious fluctuation and attenuation,suggesting excellent catalytic activity and electrochemical stability in VFBs.     

The voltammetric behaviour of solid 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) microparticles

The electrochemical behaviour of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) microparticles, attached to a graphite electrode and adjacent to an aqueous electrolyte solution, has been studied by cyclic voltammetry. DPPH exhibits one reversible redox couple with a formal potential of 0.340 V versus Ag|AgCl (pH=7.0). At more positive potentials, a redox couple appears with a formal potential E_f=0.733 V versus Ag|AgCl. The oxidation at this potential is followed by an irreversible chemical reaction generating a product which gives a redox couple with a formal potential at 0.177 V versus Ag|AgCl. The reduction process of this couple is followed by a slow chemical reaction in the course of which DPPH is reformed.     

Investigation on Concentrated Ⅴ（Ⅳ）/Ⅴ（Ⅴ） Redox Reaction by Rotating Disc Voltammetry

The kinetic characteristics of the concentrated Ⅴ（Ⅳ）/Ⅴ（Ⅴ） couple have been studied at a glassy carbon electrode in sulfuric acid using rotating-disc electrode and cyclic voltammetry. The kinetics of the Ⅴ（Ⅳ）/Ⅴ（Ⅴ） redox couple reaction was found to be electrochemically quasi-reversible with the slower kinetics for the Ⅴ（Ⅴ） reduction than that for the Ⅴ（Ⅳ） oxidation. And, dependence of diffusion coefficients and kinetic parameters of Ⅴ（Ⅳ） species on the Ⅴ（Ⅳ） and H2SO4 concentration was investigated. It is shown that the concentration of active species Ⅴ（Ⅳ） should be over 1 mol·L^-1 for the redox flow battery application. Further, with increasing the Ⅴ（Ⅳ） and H2SO4 concentration, the diffusion coefficients of Ⅴ（Ⅳ） were gradually reduced whereas its kinetics was improved considerably, especially in the case of Ⅴ（Ⅳ） and H2SO4 up to 2 and 4 mol·L^-1.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel ferrocene-containing pyridylamine ligands and their ruthenium(II) complexes: electronic communication through hydrogen-bonded amide linkage

Tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA) derivatives with one or two ferrocenoylamide moieties at the 6-position of one or two pyridine rings of TPA were synthesized. The compounds, N-(6-ferrocenoylamide-2-pyridylmethyl)-N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (Fc-TPA; L1) and N,N-bis(6-ferrocenoylamide-2-pyridylmethyl)-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (Fc2-TPA; L2), were characterized by spectroscopic methods, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray crystallography. Their Ru(II) complexes were also prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray crystallography. [RuCl(L1)(DMSO)]PF(6) (1) that contains S-bound dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a ligand and an uncoordinated ferrocenoylamide moiety exhibited two redox waves at 0.23 and 0.77 V (vs ferrocene/ferrocenium ion as 0 V), due to Fc/Fc(+) and Ru(II)/Ru(III) redox couples, respectively. [RuCl(L2)]PF(6) (2) that contains both coordinated and uncoordinated amide moieties showed two redox waves that were observed at 0.27 V (two electrons) and 0.46 V (one electron), assignable to Ru(II)/Ru(III) redox couples overlapped with the uncoordinated Fc/Fc(+) redox couple and the coordinated Fc/Fc(+), respectively. In contrast to 2, an acetonitrile complex, [Ru(L2)(CH(3)CN)](PF(6))(2) (3), exhibited three redox couples at 0.26 and 0.37 V for two kinds of Fc/Fc(+) couples, and 0.83 V for the Ru(II)/Ru(III) couple (vs ferrocene/ferrocenium ion as 0 V). In this complex, the redox potentials of the coordinated and the uncoordinated Fc-amide moieties were discriminated in the range of 0.11 V. Chemical two-electron oxidation of 1 gave [RuIIICl(L1+)(DMSO)](3+) to generate a ferromagnetically coupled triplet state (S = 1) with J = 13.7 cm-1 (H = -JS(1)S(2)) which was estimated by its variable-temperature electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra in CH(3)CN. The electron spins at the Ru(III) center and the Fe(III) center are ferromagnetically coupled via an amide linkage. In the case of 2, its two-electron oxidation gave the same ESR spectrum, which indicates formation of a similar triplet state. Such electronic communication may occur via the amide linkage forming the intramolecular hydrogen bonding.     

Physical Characterization and Reactivity of the Uranyl Peroxide [UO(2)(η(2)-O(2))(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O: Implications for Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuels

The unusual uranyl peroxide studtite, [UO(2)(η(2)-O(2))(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O, is a phase alteration product of spent nuclear fuel and has been characterized by solid-state cyclic voltammetry. The voltammogram exhibits two reduction waves that have been assigned to the U(VI/V) redox couple at -0.74 V and to the U(V/IV) redox couple at -1.10 V. This potential shows some dependence upon the identity of the cation of the supporting electrolyte, where cations with larger ionic radii exhibit more cathodic reduction potentials. Raman spectroelectrochemistry indicated that exhaustive reduction at either potential result in a product that does not contain peroxide linkers and is likely to be UO(2). On the basis of the reduction potentials, the unusual behavior of neptunium in the presence of studtite can be rationalized. Furthermore, the oxidation of other species relevant to the long-term storage of nuclear fuel, namely, iodine and iodide, has been explored. The phase altered product should therefore be considered as electrochemically noninnocent. Radiotracer studies with (241)Am show that it does not interact with studtite so mobility will not be retarded in repositories. Finally, a large difference in band gap energies between studtite and its dehydrated congener metastudtite has been determined from the electronic absorption spectra.     

Cyclic voltammetric study of the redox system of glutathione using the disulfide bond reductant tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine

The stabilization of the reduction state of proteins and peptides is very important for the monitoring of protein-protein, protein-DNA and protein-xenobiotic interactions. The reductive state of protein or peptide is characterized by the reactive sulfhydryl group. Glutathione in the reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms was studied by cyclic voltammetry. Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) as the disulfide bond reductant and/or hydrogen peroxide as the sulfhydryl group oxidant were used. Cyclic voltammetry measurements, following the redox state of glutathione, were performed on a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) in borate buffer (pH 9.2). It was shown that in aqueous solutions TCEP was able to reduce disulfide groups smoothly and quantitatively. The TCEP response at -0.25 V vs. Ag/AgCl/3 M KCl did not disturb the signals of the thiol/disulfide redox couple. The origin of cathodic and anodic signals of GSH (at -0.44 and -0.37 V) and GSSG (at -0.69 and -0.40 V) glutathione forms is discussed. It was shown that the application of TCEP to the conservation of sulfhydryl groups in peptides and proteins can be useful instrument for the study of peptides and proteins redox behavior.
