Surface oxidized iron-nickel nanorods anchoring on graphene architectures for oxygen evolution reaction

Surface oxidized iron-nickel nanorods coupling with reduced graphene architectures (FeNi-O-rGA) are successfully constructed via hydrothermal, freeze-drying, and thermal activation approaches. The hierarchical structure can provide lots of pathways for fast ion diffusion and charge transfer, and expose abundant catalytic sites. Meanwhile, the activity of FeNi-O-rGA is boosted by the optimized metal-oxygen bond strength in FeNi₃ alloys. Partial oxidized FeNi nanorods are strongly coupled with rGA by the formation of metal-O-C bonds, which can impede the aggregation of FeNi₃ alloys and increase the utilization of active sites. The special structure and partially oxidized FeNi nanorods for FeNi-O-rGA can result in excellent OER activity and catalytic stability. Only 215 mV of overpotential is required to drive the current density of 10 mA/cm² as well as the Tafel slope of 50.9 mV/dec in 1 mol/L KOH. The change of surface chemistry of FeNi-O-rGA is confirmed by XPS after the OER test, which indicates the highly catalytic stability of FeNi-O-rGA due to the formation of intermediate metal oxyhydroxide.     

Polymorphism in PbBiOXO4 compounds (X=V, P, As): Part II—PbBiOPO4 and PbBiOAsO4 structures and characterization of related solid solutions

Reinvestigation of PbBiOXO₄ (X=V, P, As) thermal behaviour revealed a phase transition for V- and P-compounds, but no transition for the As-compound. As shown by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and high-resolution neutron powder diffraction, α-PbBiOVO₄ transforms to β-PbBiOVO₄ at 550 °C. The two PbBiOPO₄ varieties are isomorph to the vanadate forms, while PbBiOAsO₄ adopts the β-type structure whatever the temperature. PbBiP_1−xOAs_xO₄ and PbBiV_1−xOM_xO₄ (M=As, P, Cr, Mn) solid solutions display both triclinic and monoclinic domains, and the α→β transition temperature is a function of the substitution rate. The ionic conductivity of these compounds was investigated by impedance spectroscopy. The analysis of free space in the β-PbBiOVO₄ structure allows to propose a one-dimensional oxygen diffusion pathway along [010] when the temperature increases.     

Effect of gallium, aluminium, and chromium on silica supported V-Mg-O catalysts during oxidative dehydrogenation of propane: Kinetic study

The oxidative dehydrogenation （ODH） of propane was conducted on gallium, aluminum, and chromium doped Si30VMgO catalysts. On doping, the concentrations of the phases responsible for the activity and selectivity increased in their concentrations. The reaction studies were conducted in a tubular steel reactor at temperatures of 753, 783, 813, and 843 K and atmospheric pressure. The total flow rates of the feed were chosen as 30, 40, 50, and 60 ml/min. The propane to oxygen ratios were chosen at 1 ： 1, 2 ： 1, and 3 ： 1, respectively. The effect of various dopants on the activity and selectivity of the catalysts was studied. Deactivation studies were conducted over all the catalysts. The kinetic data were analyzed in terms of power law models and Langmuir-Hinshelwood （LH） models. The kinetic data results were analyzed by comparing the effect of dopants. Statistical model discrimination was done for the proposed models. AIC and BIC criteria were used for discrimination of the models.
