Theoretical and experimental studies on the carbon-nanotube surface oxidation by nitric acid: interplay between functionalization and vacancy enlargement

The nitric acid oxidation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes leading to surface carboxylic groups has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The experimental results show that such a reaction involves the initial rapid formation of carbonyl groups, which are then transformed into phenol or carboxylic groups. At room temperature, this reaction takes place on the most reactive carbon atoms. At higher temperatures a different mechanism would operate, as evidenced by the difference in activation energies. Experimental data can be partially related to first-principles calculations, showing a multistep functionalization mechanism. The theoretical aspects of the present article have led us to propose the most efficient pathway leading to carboxylic acid functional groups on the surface. Starting from mono-vacancies, it ends up with the synergistic formation of dangling -COOH groups and the enlargement of the vacancies.     

Surface characterization and electrical property of carbon fibers modified by air oxidation

Polyacrylonitrile‐based carbon fibers were modified by oxidation in air, and a systematic study of surface groups and surface resistance at different treated temperatures was made. Progressive fiber weight loss occurred with increasing extents of air oxidation, and it was approximately proportional to the extent of air oxidation from the onset of oxidation up to 400 °C. At this point 4.4% of the initial fiber weight had been lost. A faster loss of weight occurred as the extent of air oxidation increased from 400 °C to 700 °C. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies (C 1s and O 1s) indicated that the oxygen/carbon atomic ratio rose rapidly from 2.64% (as‐received carbon fiber) to 42.83% as the oxidation temperature was increased to 400 °C. Fourier transform infrared spectra showed the relative intensity of the peaks at about 3440 cm^?1 from ―OH stretching vibrations and at 1634 cm^?1 from ―C?O stretching vibrations increased significantly at 400 °C. FESEM micrographs showed that as‐received fibers show relatively smooth surface. With oxidation temperature increasing, the fiber surface was rougher. The surface resistance of treated carbon fibers decreased obviously with increasing oxidation temperatures. The most decrease was about 100% at 400 °C. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Textural characteristics, surface chemistry and oxidation of activated carbon

Numerous researches were reviewed and interpreted to depict a comprehensive illustration of activated carbon and its behavior towards oxidation. Activated carbon as one of the most important adsorbents is tried to be described in this review paper by terms of its "Textural Characteristics" and "Surface Chemistry". These two terms, coupled with each other, are responsible for behavior of activated carbon in adsorption processes and in catalytic applications. Although as-prepared activated carbons are usually non-selective and their surfaces suffer from lack of enough reactive groups, their different aspects may be improved and developed by diverse types of modifications. Oxidation is one of the most conventional modifications used for activated carbons. It may be used as a final modification or as a pre-modification followed by further treatment. In this paper, methods of oxidation of activated carbon and other graphene-layer carbon materials are introduced and wet oxidation as an extensively-used category of oxidation is discussed in more detail.     

活性炭催化氧化脱除单质汞的研究

模拟煤气的气氛,在硫化氢（H₂S）和氧气（O₂）存在条件下,对活性炭催化氧化吸附单质汞（Hg⁰）的性能进行了研究。结果表明,H₂S和O₂存在条件下,活性炭对Hg⁰的吸附能力明显提高。在180min内,H₂S和O₂共存气氛下,脱汞效率约为78%;只有H₂S存在下,脱汞效率约为69%;没有H₂S和O₂气氛下活性炭脱汞效率快速下降为28%。随着吸附温度的升高,入口汞浓度的提高和吸附剂粒径的增大,活性炭的脱汞效率会随着下降。通过XRD表征表明,Hg⁰的吸附反应机理是Hg⁰在活性炭催化氧化下与H₂S形成硫化汞（HgS）,从而实现了Hg⁰的稳定化脱除。     

活性炭的改性研究及对四环素的吸附

研究了改性对活性炭的物理化学性质及其对四环素吸附性能的影响。结果发现,硝酸氧化改性可增加活性炭表面的酸性基团,提高比表面亲水性,降低pHPZC值,同时也改变了活性炭的表面微观形貌。低温、低浓度硝酸氧化改性,增加了活性炭的比表面积,对四环素的吸附以物理吸附为主。高温氧化改性使得比表面积降低,酸性基团增加,且吸附容量与活性炭比表面积、表面总酸度呈一定的线性关系。

Pb-Pt/AC催化甘油一步法制备丙酮酸

生物质能具有绿色环保、可再生、来源广泛和安全性高等优点,成为当前的研究热点.作为生物柴油的主要副产物,甘油是一种重要的生物质平台化合物.甘油的高效利用,不仅能够获得重要的精细化学品及聚合物,也可以延长生物柴油的产业链,降低其生产成本,增加其市场竞争力.丙酮酸是一种弱有机酸,为生物体内葡萄糖分解代谢的中间产物,在生物能量代谢和物质代谢过程中起着重要的枢纽作用.同时,由于它同时含有羧基和酮羰基,具有很强的反应性,可参与多种化学反应,在化学工业中有广泛应用.目前,工业上主要采用酒石酸脱水脱羧法生产丙酮酸,丙酮酸收率可达50–55%,但生产过程需要消耗大量的KHSO4粉末,生产成本高,且高耗能高污染,不符合可持续发展的要求.因此,利用可再生资源甘油在温和条件下生产丙酮酸显现出良好的应用前景.目前,由甘油一步法获得丙酮酸仅可通过发酵法实现,但是其规模化生产存在效率低、废弃物污染等问题.因此,研究化学方法由甘油一步制备丙酮酸可行也十分必要.本课题组以Pt/AC或Cu-Pt/AC为催化剂进行甘油氧化制备乳酸的研究,所得产物中几乎未检出丙酮酸;当以Pb-Pt/C为催化剂进行乳酸脱氢氧化制备丙酮酸,可获得较高选择性的丙酮酸.因此,本文通过向Pt/AC催化剂中引入Pb助剂,以期调变甘油氧化的产物分布,从而获得相对高的丙酮酸选择性.通过浸渍-沉积沉淀法(Im-DP)制备了一系列不同Pb载量(1–7.0 wt%)的xPb-5Pt/AC-Im-DP催化剂,并采用不同方法制备了一系列5Pb-5Pt/AC催化剂,用于在温和条件下甘油选择性氧化制备丙酮酸反应中.结果表明,Pb载量和催化剂制备方法都对其催化活性有显著影响.当xPb-5Pt/AC-Im-DP催化剂中Pb载量为1%时,甘油转化率和丙酮酸选择性均较单金属5Pt/AC催化剂高,但当Pb载量继续升高至3%及以上时,甘油转化率明显下降.我们推测这与Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2物种的形成有关.采用该方法制备催化剂时,Pb载量宜为5.0 wt%.保持Pt和Pb载量均为5.0 wt%,采用共沉积沉淀(Co-DP)、共浸渍(Co-Im)、以及对催化剂进行500oC氩气焙烧等,制备了具有Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2物种、铂铅合金物种(PtPb和PtxPb)和两物种均没有的5Pb-5Pt/AC催化剂.通过评价它们的催化性能,进一步探究了Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2物种、铂铅合金物种、表面金属价态与催化剂活性的关系.实验表明,Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2和表面Pb0物种不利于甘油的转化,铂铅合金对甘油转化有一定的促进作用,对丙酮酸生成显现出明显促进作用.通过对Co-DP、Im-DP催化剂进行500oC氩气焙烧,能够除去Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2物种,同时形成铂铅合金.综上,本文在温和条件下,采用Pb-Pt/AC催化剂进行甘油选择性氧化制备丙酮酸反应.采用优化的方法制备的5Pb-5Pt/AC催化剂在90oC条件下反应10 h,丙酮酸收率可达18.4%,这是目前甘油一步法氧化制备丙酮酸的最高值.进一步优化反应条件、催化剂组成与结构,探索反应机理仍十分必要.     

硝酸水热处理活性炭对其负载的Ba-Ru-K氨合成催化剂性能的影响

采用N2物理吸附、Boehm滴定、He-TPD-MS、CO化学吸附和透射电镜等手段考察了硝酸水热处理对活性炭(AC)及其负载的Ru基催化剂的孔结构、表面含氧基团、Ru分散度的影响,并评价了Ba-Ru-K/AC催化剂氨合成反应性能.结果表明,经硝酸水热处理后,AC表面含氧基团明显增多,但其孔结构变化不大.随着水热处理硝酸浓度的增加,AC表面含氧基团的数量增加,而相应催化剂的Ru分散度有所降低,Ru粒子尺寸增大.当硝酸浓度为2.0mol/L时,Ru分散度较高,且粒子尺寸(2.0nm)适宜,分散均匀,因此催化剂活性较高.在10MPa和10000h-1条件下,400和375℃时,出口氨浓度分别达到17     

热处理改性活性炭纤维的脱硫活性

 考察了在O2和水蒸气存在下高温热处理对活性炭纤维（ACF）催化转化SO2为H2SO4的活性的影响,关联了ACF表面含氧官能团的种类及数量与热处理后ACF的脱硫活性之间的关系．结果表明,在最佳热处理温度下以CO形式释出的含氧官能团的总量决定了ACF的脱硫活性,而以CO2形式释出的含氧官能团未对提高ACF的脱硫活性做出贡献．通过采用不同的氧化剂改变ACF表面含氧官能团的种类和数量,进一步证实了热处理过程中释出的CO量与ACF的脱硫活性之间成正比关系．

表面官能团化增强碳纳米笼超级电容器性能

以具有多级孔结构、高比表面积、良好导电性等特征的碳纳米笼(CNCs)为前体,采用硝酸氧化法在CNCs表面引入含氧官能团。以CNCs为超级电容器电极材料,在相同电流密度下,官能团化样品的比电容显著高于纯CNCs;在1 A·g-1下比电容最高可达到255 F·g-1,比纯CNCs的188 F·g-1增加了34%,这表明表面含氧官能团化能够显著提高CNCs的超级电容器比电容。在100 A·g-1的大电流密度下,硝酸氧化后CNCs的比电容保持在111~167 F·g-1,表明具有良好的耐大电流充放电性能。在10 A·g-1的电流密度下循环10 000圈后,CNC-6M样品的比电容由196 F·g-1下降到176 F·g-1,样品的比电容仍保留90%,具有良好的循环稳定性。表面含氧官能团化CNCs所表现出的这种优异的超级电容器性能归因于CNCs的多尺度分级孔结构、高比表面积、良好的导电性、表面亲水性含氧官能团化带来的浸润性提高和引入的赝电容。

State of the copper ions in the catalysts for oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide

The state of the copper ions in the catalysts for the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, prepared by dissolving an activated copper-containing aluminum alloy in water followed by calcination (method A) and by impregnation of the support produced by dissolving activated aluminum in water with copper nitrate solution (method B), was investigated by diffuse reflection electronic spectroscopy. It was established that the catalysts contain Cu ²⁺ ions stabilized in fields of octahedral symmetry. The concentration of these ions depends on the method of synthesis of the catalyst, its copper content, and the pretreatment temperature. It is higher in the samples produced by impregnation than in the samples produced by fusion; increase in the amount of copper leads to a decrease while increase in the calcination temperature leads to an increase in the concentration of the above-mentioned ions. Treatment of the oxide systems with the reaction mixture does not affect the state and concentration of Cu ²⁺. The catalytic activity of the samples depends on the method of preparation and increases with decrease in the amount of Cu ²⁺ (O_h) and with increase in the content of the CuO phase in the system.N.

磷钼酸（PMA）修饰炭载Pd催化剂对甲酸氧化的电催化性能

为了提高直接甲酸燃料电池（DFAFC）中炭载Pd（Pd/C）催化剂对甲酸氧化的电催化性能,用回流法制备了磷钼酸（PMA）修饰的炭载Pd（PMA-Pd/C）催化剂.并用谱学技术和电化学技术表征了催化剂的组分和结构,发现PMA通过化学作用而牢固地固定在Pd表面.由于PMA-Pd/C催化剂能抑制甲酸的自分解,因此,PMA-Pd/C催化剂对甲酸氧化的电催化性能优于Pd/C催化剂.     

活性炭纤维吸附脱除NO过程中NO氧化路径分析

在小型固定床吸附实验台上开展了黏胶基活性炭纤维吸附脱除NO的实验研究。采用H₂O₂溶液浸渍以及热处理方法对活性炭纤维表面进行修饰,以获得表面孔隙结构接近而含氧官能团含量不同的样品;考察样品在惰性氮气气氛、含氧气氛下吸附脱除NO的效果,以及表面含氧含氮官能团的变化规律。探讨了含氧官能团在NO催化氧化过程中的作用及含氧气氛下O₂对于NO转化为NO₂的影响,分析了活性炭纤维表面吸附的NO向NO₂的主要转化途径。结果表明,在氮气气氛下活性炭纤维表面C-O官能团对吸附态的NO起到氧化作用,吸附态NO被C-O官能团氧化生成-NO₂官能团;在含氧气氛下活性炭纤维吸附NO后表面出现-NO₂、-NO₃官能团,通过长时间实验测定三种样品在含氧气氛下对NO吸附的效果,发现三种样品稳定时催化氧化效果一致,表明含氧官能团对初始NO的物理吸附影响较大,而对整个吸附过程影响较小。吸附在活性炭纤维表面上的NO与环境气氛中的游离态O₂发生氧化反应是NO转变为NO₂的主要途径。
