Adsorption Isotherm of Water Vapor and Its Large Hysteresis on Highly Ordered Mesoporous Silica

The first and second adsorption–desorption isotherms of water vapor on a new mesoporous material derived from kanemite have been measured. The isotherms show unusual type V isotherms and large hysteresis. The type V isotherms, which have never been observed for the other adsorbates, suggest that the mesoporous material has a hydrophobic surface, although the hydrophobicity decreased after treatment with water vapor because of rehydration of the surface. The significantly large hysteresis could be explained by the difference in contact angle between adsorption and desorption.

Synthesis of silk-like FeS2/NiS2 hybrid nanocrystals with improved reversible oxygen catalytic performance in a Zn-air battery

The development of highly active and stable reversible oxygen electrocatalysts is crucial for improving the efficiency of metal-air battery devices. Herein, an efficient liquid exfoliation strategy was designed for producing silk-like FeS₂/NiS₂ hybrid nanocrystals with enhanced reversible oxygen catalytic performance that displayed excellent properties for Zn-air batteries. Because of the unique silk-like morphology and interface nanocrystal structure, they can catalyze the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) efficiently with a low overpotential of 233 mV at j = 10 mA cm^?2. This is an improvement from the recently reported catalysts in 1.0 M KOH. Meanwhile, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of the silk-like FeS₂/NiS₂ hybrid nanocrystals showed an onset potential of 911 mV and a half-wave potential of 640 mV. In addition, the reversible oxygen electrode activity of the silk-like FeS₂/NiS₂ hybrid nanocrystals was calculated to be 0.823 V, based on the potential of the OER and ORR. Further, the homemade rechargeable Zn-air batteries using FeS₂/NiS₂ hybrid nanocrystals as the air-cathode displayed a high open-circuit voltage of 1.25 V for more than 17 h and an excellent rechargeable performance for 25 h. The solid Zn-air batteries exhibited an excellent rechargeable performance for 15 h. This study provided a new method for designing interface nanocrystals with a unique morphology for efficient multifunctional electrocatalysts in electrochemical reactions and renewable energy devices.

The effect of Pb and other elements found in recycled polypropylene on the manufacturing of lead-acid battery cases

Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most common plastics used in the manufacturing of lead-acid battery cases, where the recycling of the material has become common practice, being both economically viable and environmentally friendly. During the recycling process, the various components of the spent battery are separated, where the crushed battery case is washed in order to remove any excess acid and lead-containing particles. The plastic components are subsequently melted and extruded into pellets that are then blended with virgin material to injection mold new battery cases and lids. This study showed that a significant amount of lead-containing particles in the form of lead dioxide and lead sulfate remain in the recycled plastic, and are evenly distributed throughout the polymer matrix. TEM studies showed that the particles are less than 1 μm in size and X-ray diffraction analysis of ashed recycled PP samples showed the presence, amongst others, of talc, calcium carbonate, rutile and iron oxide. These compounds come from a range of fillers, flame-retardants, colorants and impurities that originated from the various original battery cases that were recycled. The study showed that modern X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is a quick and reliable method to quantify the amount of the elements found in the plastic and that the concentration of Pb in the plastic can be used as a type of “tracer” to determine the amount of recycled PP used in the manufacturing of a particular battery case. The study also showed that there is possible environmental contamination, in particular with Pb and Br contained in recycled PP during the injection molding process and the burning of the plastic. The Pb- and Br-containing particles are small enough to become air-borne during the burning process of the plastic, resulting in them being part of the soot and other hydrocarbon oils that are emitted. No Pb was observed in the gases emitted during simulated low-temperature injection molding conditions; however, a significant amount of Br was detected in the gases at the lower temperatures. Clear environmental waste classification of the battery case plastic should be done before its final incineration where the amount of trace metals present and its possible contamination to the environment should be considered. Care should also be taken for machine operators who work with the recycled plastic, that no excessive exposure to the halogenated compounds is experienced.
