原位组装在碳纸上的有机金属骨架材料衍生的NC/Co/CoP催化剂用于碱性环境水分解（英文）

随着世界工业经济的发展,作为不可再生能源的化石燃料消耗日趋增大并带来严重的环境污染.氢能具有能量密度高、燃烧无污染等优点,被认为是替换传统化石燃料的理想能源之一.通过电化学方法实现水裂解制氢是既满足环境要求又符合氢气生产需要的一种潜在有效方法,受到人们广泛关注.基于铂、钌等贵金属的电催化剂在水裂解中具有很高的活性,然而其稀缺性和高成本是阻碍其大规模实际应用的重要因素.水裂解制氢包括二电子转移的质子还原和四电子转移的水氧化两个过程.相对于质子还原,水氧化反应动力学过程缓慢,是决定水裂解速率的关键.通常,质子还原反应倾向于在酸性条件下进行,而水氧化反应在碱性环境下更有利,反应条件的差异阻碍了水裂解制氢的发展.因此,制备在碱性环境下具有高催化性能、高稳定性和低成本的催化剂是促进水裂解制氢能源技术进一步发展的关键.金属有机骨架(MOF)衍生的复合催化剂具有良好的催化性能和广阔的应用前景,在催化反应中得到越来越多的重视.传统的催化剂组装方式是通过全氟磺酸聚合物等辅助剂将催化剂组装到工作电极上,这些辅助剂具有较强的酸性,而且会覆盖催化剂表面的催化活性位点,降低催化剂比表面积,阻碍催化剂活性的进一步提升.本文通过电泳的方法,将ZIF-67负载到碳纸上,进一步通过碳化、部分磷化过程得到NC/Co/Co P/CP催化电极.研究发现,在碱性环境(1 mol/LKOH)下,催化电流达到10 m A/cm^2的析氢过电位只有208 m V,析氧反应的过电位为350 m V,在二电极体系中所需的电压也只有1.72 V,催化活性明显高于通过传统方法组装的电极.在长时间的电化学稳定性测试中,经过20h的电流测试和1000次的CV测试后,该电极的催化活性没有明显下降.我们报道了一种基于MOF材料的复合电极组装新方法,为MOF材料在能源储存与转化领域应用提供了新思路.

The polyelectrolyte membranes of this paper are inexpensive and exhibit good long-term stability and ion exchange capability.     

Chemical and Physical Solutions for Hydrogen Storage

Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier in future energy systems. However, storage of hydrogen is a substantial challenge, especially for applications in vehicles with fuel cells that use proton‐exchange membranes (PEMs). Different methods for hydrogen storage are discussed, including high‐pressure and cryogenic‐liquid storage, adsorptive storage on high‐surface‐area adsorbents, chemical storage in metal hydrides and complex hydrides, and storage in boranes. For the latter chemical solutions, reversible options and hydrolytic release of hydrogen with off‐board regeneration are both possible. Reforming of liquid hydrogen‐containing compounds is also a possible means of hydrogen generation. The advantages and disadvantages of the different systems are compared.     

化学链技术及其在化石能源转化与二氧化碳捕集领域的应用

化学链是指将某一特定的化学反应通过化学介质的作用分多步反应完成的过程．这一概念早在20世纪初就曾被用于以水蒸气与铁反应制备氢气,并于20世纪中期被提出用于二氧化碳的商业化生产．然而,时至今日,尚无商业化的化学链工艺用于化石燃料的转化．在近年来全球气候变暖及能源危机的急迫形势下,化学链循环过程由于其具有可以将碳基燃料直接转化为可供封存的二氧化碳的独特能力而格外受到关注,人们因而加大了对化学链工艺的研究开发力度．现代化学链工艺逐步克服了早期工艺的缺点,并不断尝试开发以煤或者其他固体燃料作为直接进料的新工艺．现有的各种小试及中试装置操作结果及系统模拟分析表明,化学链循环工艺可以有效地降低二氧化碳分离能耗并提高化石能源转化效率,极具商业化潜力．本文主要介绍目前世界范围内现行的使用化石燃料作为原料的化学链循环工艺,重点总结对比了化学链燃烧和化学链气化两个过程的发展现状,并对化学链循环工艺工业化进程中的机遇和挑战进行了简要的讨论．     

面向氢能源、燃料电池和二氧化碳减排的制氢途径的选择

对氢气的多种制造途径加以探讨,也涉及到氢能的利用、燃料电池以及二氧化碳的减排。需要指出的是氢气并非能源,而只是能量的载体。 所以氢能的发展首先需要制造氢气。对于以化石燃料为基础的制氢过程,如煤的气化和天然气重整,需要开发更经济和环境友好的新过程,在这些新过程中要同时考虑二氧化碳的有效收集和利用问题。对于煤和生物质,在此提出了一种值得进一步深入研究的富一氧化碳气化制氢的概念。对于以氢为原料的质子交换膜燃料电池系统,必须严格控制制备的氢气中的一氧化碳和硫化氢;对于以烃类为原料的固体氧化物燃料电池,制备的合成气中的硫也需严格控制。然而,传统的脱硫方法并不适宜于这种用于燃料电池的极高深度的氢气和合成气的脱硫。氢能和燃料电池的发展是与控制二氧化碳排放紧密相关的。     

Computational modeling of green hydrogen generation from photocatalytic H2S splitting: Overview and perspectives

Hydrogen plays an important role in developing a clean and sustainable future energy scenario. Substantial efforts to produce green hydrogen from water splitting, biomass and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) have been made in recent years. H₂S, naturally occurring or generated in fuel gas processing and industrial wastewater treatment, can be split into hydrogen and sulfur via photocatalysis. Although it is not as widely used as water splitting for green hydrogen production, this process is considered to be an appropriate and sustainable way to meet the future energy demands, adding value to H₂S. Therefore, it is essential to understand how to improve the solar light utilization and splitting efficiency of H₂S based on the existing technology and materials. Along with that effort, molecular modeling and theoretical calculations are indispensable tools to provide guidance to effectively design photocatalysts for improving hydrogen generation efficiency. In this review, we summarize the published work on H₂S photocatalysis modeling and illustrate the use of different computational methods to gain more in-depth insight into the reaction mechanisms and processes. Moreover, an overview of quantum mechanical and molecular simulation approaches combined with other modeling techniques, relevant to material science and catalysis design and applicable to H₂S splitting is also presented. Challenges and future directions for developing H₂S splitting photocatalysts are highlighted in this contribution, which is intended to inspire further simulation developments and experiments for H₂S splitting, tailoring photocatalysts design towards highly efficient hydrogen production.     

Estimation of chemical exergy of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels used in thermal power plants

This paper presents the methods for the calculation of chemical exergies of coal, heavy fuel oil and natural gas that are used as fuel in conventional thermal power plants. Calculations have shown that the chemical composition of the fuel greatly influences the value of its chemical exergy. In case of coal in which carbon and hydrogen are not combined together, an increase in both carbon and hydrogen contents increases its chemical exergy value. In case of heavy fuel oils, hydrogen–carbon ratio is the most influencing parameter in the chemical exergy value. An increase in hydrogen–carbon ratio in the fuel tends to increase its chemical exergy. In case of natural gases, a decrease in lighter hydrocarbon gas contents and an increase in heavier hydrocarbon gas contents tend to increase the chemical exergy value of the fuel. High moisture and/or ash contents also tend to lower the value of the chemical exergy.     

Micromotor‐Based Energy Generation

A micromotor‐based strategy for energy generation, utilizing the conversion of liquid‐phase hydrogen to usable hydrogen gas (H₂), is described. The new motion‐based H₂‐generation concept relies on the movement of Pt‐black/Ti Janus microparticle motors in a solution of sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) fuel. This is the first report of using NaBH₄ for powering micromotors. The autonomous motion of these catalytic micromotors, as well as their bubble generation, leads to enhanced mixing and transport of NaBH₄ towards the Pt‐black catalytic surface (compared to static microparticles or films), and hence to a substantially faster rate of H₂ production. The practical utility of these micromotors is illustrated by powering a hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell car by an on‐board motion‐based hydrogen and oxygen generation. The new micromotor approach paves the way for the development of efficient on‐site energy generation for powering external devices or meeting growing demands on the energy grid.     

GC of Catalytic Reactions Products Involved in the Promising Fuel Synthesis

Catalytic reactions involved in the synthesis of the promising kinds of novel fuel and products formed in these reactions were systematized according to the resulting fuel type. Generalization of the retention of the substances comprising these products is presented. Chromatograms exhibiting their separation on chromatographic materials with the surface of different chemical properties are summarized. We propose procedures for gas-chromatographic analysis of the catalytic reactions products formed in the synthesis of hydrogen, methanol, dimethyl ether and hydrocarbons as a new generation of fuel alternative to petroleum and coal. For partial oxidation of methane into synthesis gas, on-line determination of the components obtained in the reaction was carried out by gas chromatography and gas analyzer based on different physicochemical methods (IR spectroscopy and electrochemical methods). Similarity of the results obtained using these methods is demonstrated.

     

Performance of planar electrode-supported high-temperature solid oxide fuel cell using syngas

In China, coal is a dominant energy source. In order to ensure China’s energy security, coal should be used efficiently and cleanly. Integrated gasification fuel cell hybrid power generation system is a promising system for coal utilization. It combines clean coal gasification technology with high efficient fuel cell technology. In this work, the performance of solid oxide fuel cell using syngas as fuel was investigated, based on the commercial computational fluid dynamic software and the developed program used to analyze chemical, electrochemical, heat/mass transfer, current, and electric potential. The results show that the temperature difference is about 300 K in the cell under all calculation conditions. Along the cell length, hydrogen concentration rapidly reduces, and its decrement is larger than that of carbon monoxide. The variation of current density in electrolyte layer is relatively small along the direction of gas flow, but it is obvious along the direction vertical to gas flow.
