兼具高孔隙率和梯度孔隙结构的多孔钯块材的制备、表征及其电化学性能研究（英文）

钯材料广泛用于氢同位素储存和分离、催化和传感等领域.传统的负载钯催化材料具有优异的乙醇和甲醇等电化学催化氧化性能.除此之外,负载钯催化材料还具有优异的甲烷催化燃烧性能.然而,很多研究显示负载钯催化材料存在很多不足,例如在工程应用过程中不稳定,纳米颗粒会发生聚集和长大,进而引起材料性能急剧下降等.不同于钯片、海绵钯粉末和负载钯催化材料,多孔钯具有三维连通的孔隙结构,可避免团聚现象的发生.同时,多孔钯还具有一些特殊的物理化学性能.研究表明,梯度孔隙结构是一种高效的电化学催化结构.因而近年来很多研究者都致力于探索具有高孔隙率和梯度孔隙结构多孔钯块材的制备方法.已有的研究包括造孔剂法和模板法等,但上述方法制得的多孔钯块材均存在比表面积低或难以获得块体材料缺点.我们研究组发展了一种制备兼具高孔隙率和梯度孔隙结构的多孔钯块材的新方法.即通过以一定粒度的NaCl颗粒作为造孔剂放电等离子烧结制备PdAl合金复合块材,然后通过去离子水溶解获得多孔PdAl合金,最后经过在盐酸溶液中去合金化得到具有数十微米的宏观大孔和约10纳米的纳米孔等梯度孔隙结构的多孔钯块材.当造孔剂添加量为20 vol.%,制得了孔隙率高达88%且完整的多孔钯块材.对该多孔钯块材的力学性能进行了测试,其压缩强度为0.5 MPa.对该块材进行氮吸附测试,测试结果显示其比表面积达到54 m~2/g.我们进一步对该多孔钯块材的乙醇电化学催化氧化性能进行了研究.对不同扫描速度下多孔钯块材在KOH(1 mol/L)+乙醇(0.8 mol/L)溶液中电催化活性进行分析.随着扫描速率从10 mV/s提高到50 mV/s,正扫描峰电流密度也逐渐提高,且峰电位向正电位方向移动.对峰电流密度和扫描速率的平方根进行拟合,发现它们之间存在明显的线性关系,表明该电催化氧化行为是一个受扩散控制的过程.随着溶液中乙醇浓度不断增加,正扫描方向乙醇氧化峰的峰电流呈现出先增大后减小的趋势.这是因为乙醇基和羟基在钯表面的竞争性吸附造成的.当乙醇浓度较高时,乙醇基会占据钯表面大量的活性位,从而阻碍和抑制羟基的吸附.此时,羟基在钯表面的吸附成为电氧化反应的控制因素.因此,只有选择合适的乙醇浓度,才能更好地发挥材料的电催化性能.当乙醇浓度为2 mol/L时,峰电流最大,达到120 mA/cm~2,表明多孔钯块材具有优异的电催化性能,这与该材料的梯度孔隙结构、高比表面积和高孔隙率密切相关.进一步对多孔钯块材的催化稳定性进行研究.该多孔钯块材显示出了优异的催化稳定性,当经过50次循环后,乙醇氧化峰的峰电流仅下降到~110 mA/cm~2.

贵金属Rh基催化剂可有效催化乙醇中C―C键断裂,有利于实现乙醇完全电氧化,但Rh催化剂对乙醇电氧化的催化活性较低。本文通过种子介导生长法制备了具有内凹立方体形貌的Rh@Pt/C核壳催化剂,考察了不同Pt壳层厚度的Rh@Pt/C核壳催化剂在碱性介质中对乙醇电氧化反应(EOR)的催化性能。其中Rh@Pt_0.25/C核壳催化剂对EOR的质量归一化电流最高为520 mA/mg,此时面积归一化电流也最高,为0.16 mA/cm²。研究表明,Rh@Pt/C核壳催化剂中Rh和Pt之间的表面应变效应和电子配体效应取决于Rh表面Pt壳层的厚度,Pt壳层厚度的改变,可调控催化剂中Rh和Pt的协同作用,从而减弱毒性中间体对催化剂表面的吸附,优化催化剂对EOR的性能。总体上,Rh表面Pt壳层为3层的Rh@Pt_0.25/C核壳催化剂表现出最优的EOR活性和稳定性,此时催化剂也兼具了较优的抗毒化能力。     

Synthesis and electrochemical performance of hierarchical porous carbons with 3D open-cell structure based on nanosilica-embedded emulsion-templated polymerization

A novel synthesis of hierarchical porous carbons （HPCs）with 3D open-cell structure based on nanosilica- embedded emulsion-templated polymerization was reported. An oil-in-water emulsion containing SiO2 colloids was fabricated using liquid paraffin as an oil phase, resorcinol/formaldehyde and silica sol as an aqueous phase, and Span 80/Tween 80 as emulsifiers. HPCs with macropore cores, open meso/ macropore windows, and abundant micropores were synthesized by the polymerization and carbonization of the emulsion, followed by scaffold removal and further KOH activation. A typical HPCs sample as supercapacitor electrode shows the charge/discharge capability under large loading current density （30 A/g） coupling with a reasonable electrochemical capacitance in KOH electrolyte solution.     

One-step synthesis of biomass derived O,N-codoped hierarchical porous carbon with high surface area for supercapacitors

We report a convenient method to synthesize O, N-codoped hierarchical porous carbon by one-step carbonization of the mixture of KHCO₃, urea and alginic acid. Benefiting from KHCO₃ and urea synergistic effect, the obtained O, N-codoped hierarchical porous carbon (NPC-700) material has a well-developed interconnected porous framework with ultrahigh specific surface area (2846 m²/g) and massive heteroatoms functional groups. Consequence, such porous carbon displays high specific capacitance (324 F/g at 1 A/g), excellent rate performance (212 F/g at 30 A/g) and good electrochemical stabilization in 6 mol/L KOH solution. More importantly, the assembled NPC-700//NPC-700 symmetrical supercapacitor can achieve a high energy density of 18.8 Wh/kg and good electrochemical stabilization in 1 mol/L Na₂SO₄ solution. This process opens up a new way to design heteroatoms-doped hierarchical porous carbon derived from biomass materials for supercapacitors.

Fabrication and thermoelectric properties of fine-grained TiNiSn compounds

Nearly single-phased TiNiSn half-Heusler compound thermoelectric materials were synthesized by combining mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) in order to reduce its thermal conductivity by refining the grain sizes. Although TiNiSn compound powders were not synthesized directly via MA, dense bulk samples of TiNiSn compound were obtained by the subsequent SPS treatment. It was found that an excessive Ti addition relative to the TiNiSn stoichiometry is effective in increasing the phase purity of TiNiSn half-Heusler phase in the bulk samples, by compensating for the Ti loss caused by the oxidation of Ti powders and MA processing. The maximum power factor value obtained in the Ti-compensated sample is 1720 μW m⁻¹ K⁻² at 685 K. A relatively high ZT value of 0.32 is achieved at 785 K for the present undoped TiNiSn compound polycrystals.     

Facile assembly of mesoporous silica nanoparticles with hierarchical pore structure for CO2 capture

In the work, we propose an efficient one-pot approach for synthesis of a new type of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). That can be successfully realized by using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (TSD) as the silica precursors and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the structure-directing agent through a facile assembly process. The as-synthesized MSNs possess a spherical morphology with about 230 nm, a relatively high surface area of 133 m²/g, and a hierarchical pore size distribution. When applied as the sorbents, the amine-functioned MSNs demonstrate the enhanced adsorption capacity for CO₂ capture (at 1 bar, 15 vol% CO₂, up to 80.5 mg/g at 75 °C), high selectivity, and good cycling durability, benefiting from the suitable modification of polyethyleneimine.     

State of the art in the electrochemical characterization of the surface structure of shape-controlled Pt,Au, and Pd nanoparticles

The application of shape-controlled metal nanoparticles in electrocatalysis has improved significantly the activity, selectivity, and even the stability of many relevant electrocatalytic reactions. It is well accepted that, by controlling the shape of the nanoparticles, it is possible to provide nanoparticles with a preferential surface structure. However, to fully understand the capabilities of these nanomaterials, it is extremely relevant to correlate shape, surface structure, and electrocatalytic reactivity. Particularly, establishing the correlations between surface structure and reactivity is the key point to be studied and understood. Consequently, having tools to characterize the surface structure of these nanoparticles is of critical importance. In this short review, we discuss about the progress in the in situ characterization of the surface structure of shaped Pt, Au, and Pd nanoparticles by electrochemical probes. The results here included clearly demonstrate the potentialities of the electrochemical tools to gain detailed information of the surface structure of these shaped nanomaterials.     

A hierarchical porous carbon membrane from polyacrylonitrile/polyvinylpyrrolidone blending membranes:Preparation,characterization and electrochemical capacitive performance

Novel hierarchical porous carbon membranes were fabricated through a simple carbonization procedure of well-defined blending polymer membrane precursors containing the source of carbon polyacrylonitrile （PAN） and an additive of polyvinylpyrrolidone （PVP）, which was prepared using phase inversion method. The as-fabricated materials were further used as the active electrode materials for supercapacitors. The effects of PVP concentration in the casting solution on structure feature and electrochemical capacitive performance of the as-prepared carbon membranes were also studied in detail. As the electrode material for supercapacitor, a high specific capacitance of 278.0 F/g could be attained at a current of 5 mA/cm2 and about 92.90% capacity retention could be maintained after 2000 charge/discharge cycles in 2 mol/L KOH solution with a PVP concentration of 0.3 wt% in the casting solution. The facile hierarchical pore structure preparation method and the good electrochemical capacitive performance make the prepared carbon membrane particularly promising for use in supercapacitor.
