Oxygen Gateway Effect of CeO₂/La₂O₂SO₄ Composite Oxygen Storage Materials.

ABSTRACT: A synergistic enhancement in oxygen release/storage performance was achieved with composites formed between CeO₂ as an oxygen gateway and La₂O₂SO₄ as an oxygen reservoir. CeO₂ smoothly transfers oxygen atoms between La₂O₂SO₄ and the gas phase, whereas La₂O₂SO₄ stores a large amount of oxygen. The composite materials exhibited enhanced anaerobic CO oxidation and reversible oxygen storage in the presence of impregnated Pt catalysts as compared to their individual constituents (Pt/CeO₂ and Pt/La₂O₂SO₄). In situ X-ray diffraction and Raman experiments demonstrated that CeO₂ significantly accelerated the redox reaction between La₂O₂SO₄ (S⁶⁺) and La₂O₂S (S^2-), while preserving its structure. The reaction between CO and CeO₂/¹⁸O-labeled La₂O₂SO₄ composites suggested that CO mainly reacted with the lattice oxygen atoms of CeO₂, and the resulting oxygen vacancies were subsequently filled with oxygen atoms supplied by La₂O₂SO₄. This oxygen gateway effect of CeO₂ greatly enhanced the oxygen release/storage rates of La₂O₂SO₄, while maintaining the high oxygen storage capacity, which is an advanced feature of oxysulfate materials. The synergistic effect is mostly pronounced when the two different oxygen storage materials are in intimate contact to form a three-phase boundary.

Temperature-Sensitive Template for Preparation of ZnO/CeO2 Composite Photocatalytic Materials and Its Catalytic Performance.

Project description:In this work, a series of thermosensitive ionic liquid functionalized polymers, PNx(IL)y, with controllable morphology and particle size were prepared by free radical polymerization. Then, using the polymer PN64(IL)8 with uniform morphology as a templating agent, the ZnO composite photocatalytic materials doped with rare earth metal Ce were prepared in combination with a microwave-assisted and templated hydrothermal reaction method. Series different Ce-doping amount photocatalytic materials ZnO-Ce-x‱ were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, and other methods. The results demonstrated that the templated materials PN64(IL)8 can prepare ZnO-Ce-2‱ with uniform petaloid ambulacra shape, good distribution of elements, and excellent photocatalytic performance. Photocatalytic degradation experiments of methyl orange (MO) showed that when the Ce-doping amount is only 2‱, the degradation rate of organic dyes can reach 96.5% by reacting the photocatalytic materials in water for 1 h. In addition, this kind of photocatalyst can be used for the degradation of high-concentration MO, as well as being easily recovered and effectively reused by simple filtration. Therefore, the structure of this kind of photocatalyst is controllable in the preparation process with an extremely low Ce-doping amount compared with current reports, and it has a good application prospect in the field of wastewater treatment technology.

Equilibrium oxygen storage capacity of ultrathin CeO2-δ depends non-monotonically on large biaxial strain.

Project description:Elastic strain is being increasingly employed to enhance the catalytic properties of mixed ion-electron conducting oxides. However, its effect on oxygen storage capacity is not well established. Here, we fabricate ultrathin, coherently strained films of CeO2-δ between 5.6% biaxial compression and 2.1% tension. In situ ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals up to a fourfold enhancement in equilibrium oxygen storage capacity under both compression and tension. This non-monotonic variation with strain departs from the conventional wisdom based on a chemical expansion dominated behaviour. Through depth profiling, film thickness variations and a coupled photoemission-thermodynamic analysis of space-charge effects, we show that the enhanced reducibility is not dominated by interfacial effects. On the basis of ab initio calculations of oxygen vacancy formation incorporating defect interactions and vibrational contributions, we suggest that the non-monotonicity arises from the tetragonal distortion under large biaxial strain. These results may guide the rational engineering of multilayer and core-shell oxide nanomaterials.

Composite NiCo2 O4 @CeO2 Microsphere as Cathode Catalyst for High-Performance Lithium-Oxygen Battery.

Project description:The large overpotential and poor cycle stability caused by inactive redox reactions are tough challenges for lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs). Here, a composite microsphere material comprising NiCo2 O4 @CeO2 is synthesized via a hydrothermal approach followed by an annealing processing, which is acted as a high performance electrocatalyst for LOBs. The unique microstructured catalyst can provide enough catalytic surface to facilitate the barrier-free transport of oxygen as well as lithium ions. In addition, the special microsphere and porous nanoneedles structure can effectively accelerate electrolyte penetration and the reversible formation and decomposition process of Li2 O2 , while the introduction of CeO2 can increase oxygen vacancies and optimize the electronic structure of NiCo2 O4 , thereby enhancing the electron transport of the whole electrode. This kind of catalytic cathode material can effectively reduce the overpotential to only 1.07 V with remarkable cycling stability of 400 loops under 500 mA g-1 . Based on the density functional theory calculations, the origin of the enhanced electrochemical performance of NiCo2 O4 @CeO2 is clarified from the perspective of electronic structure and reaction kinetics. This work demonstrates the high efficiency of NiCo2 O4 @CeO2 as an electrocatalyst and confirms the contribution of the current design concept to the development of LOBs cathode materials.

Proton-assisted creation of controllable volumetric oxygen vacancies in ultrathin CeO2-x for pseudocapacitive energy storage applications.

Project description:Two-dimensional metal oxide pseudocapacitors are promising candidates for size-sensitive applications. However, they exhibit limited energy densities and inferior power densities. Here, we present an electrodeposition technique by which ultrathin CeO2-x films with controllable volumetric oxygen vacancy concentrations can be produced. This technique offers a layer-by-layer fabrication route for ultrathin CeO2-x films that render Ce3+ concentrations as high as ~60 at% and a volumetric capacitance of 1873 F cm-3, which is among the highest reported to the best of our knowledge. This exceptional behaviour originates from both volumetric oxygen vacancies, which enhance electron conduction, and intercrystallite water, which promotes proton conduction. Consequently, simultaneous charging on the surface and in the bulk occur, leading to the observation of redox pseudocapacitive behaviour in CeO2-x. Thermodynamic investigations reveal that the energy required for oxygen vacancy formation can be reduced significantly by proton-assisted reactions. This cyclic deposition technique represents an efficient method to fabricate metal oxides of precisely controlled defect concentrations and thicknesses.

Novel PEG6000-Silica-MWCNTs Shape-Stabilized Composite Phase-Change Materials (ssCPCMs) for Thermal-Energy Storage.

Project description:This paper describes the preparation of new PEG6000-silica-MWCNTs composites as shape-stabilized phase change materials (ssPCMs) for application in latent heat storage. An innovative method was employed to obtain the new organic-inorganic hybrid materials, in which both a part of the PEG chains, used as the phase change material, and a part of the hydroxyl functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-OH), used as thermo-conductive fillers, were covalently connected by newly formed urethane bonds to the in-situ-generated silica matrix. The study's main aim was to investigate the optimal amount of PEG6000 that can be added to the fixed sol-gel reaction mixture so that no leakage of PEG occurs after repeated heating-cooling cycles. The findings show that the optimum PEG6000/NCOTEOS molar ratio was 2/1 (~91.5% PEG6000), because both the connected and free PEG chains interacted strongly with the in-situ-generated silica matrix to form a shape-stabilized material while preserving high phase-transition enthalpies (~153 J/G). Morphological and structural findings obtained by SEM, X-ray and Raman techniques indicated a distribution of the silica component in the amorphous phase (~27% for the optimum composition) located among the crystalline lamellae built by the folded chains of the PEG component. This composite maintained good chemical stability after a 450-cycle thermal test and had a good storage efficiency (~84%).

Search for high-capacity oxygen storage materials by materials informatics.

Project description:Oxygen storage materials (OSMs), such as pyrochlore type CeO2-ZrO2 (p-CZ), are used as a catalyst support for three-way catalysts in automotive emission control systems. They have oxygen storage capacity (OSC), which is the ability to release and store oxygen reversibly by the fluctuation of cation oxidation states depending on the reducing or oxidizing atmosphere. In this study, we explore high-capacity OSMs by using materials informatics (MI) combining experiments, first-principles calculations, and machine learning (ML). To generate training data for the ML model, the OSC values of 60 metal oxides were measured from the amount of CO2 produced under alternating flow gas between oxidizing (O2) and reducing (CO) conditions at 973, 773, and 573 K. Descriptors were computed by atomic properties and first-principles calculations on each oxide. The support vector machine regression model was trained to predict the OSC at each temperature. The features describing OSC were automatically selected using grid search to achieve practical cross validation performance. The features related to the stability of the oxygen atoms in the crystal and the crystal structure itself such as cohesive energy are highly correlated with OSC. The present model predicts the OSC of 1300 existing oxides. Based on its high predictive power for OSC and synthesizability, we focused on Cu3Nb2O8. We synthesized this material and experimentally confirmed that Cu3Nb2O8 showed a higher OSC than conventional OSM p-CZ. This MI scheme can significantly accelerate the development of new OSMs.

Improved Pd/CeO2 Catalysts for Low-Temperature NO Reduction: Activation of CeO2 Lattice Oxygen by Fe Doping.

Project description:Developing better three-way catalysts with improved low-temperature performance is essential for cold start emission control. Density functional theory in combination with microkinetics simulations is used to predict reactivity of CO/NO/H2 mixtures on a small Pd cluster on CeO2(111). At low temperatures, N2O formation occurs via a N2O2 dimer over metallic Pd3. Part of the N2O intermediate product re-oxidizes Pd, limiting NO conversion and requiring rich conditions to obtain high N2 selectivity. High N2 selectivity at elevated temperatures is due to N2O decomposition on oxygen vacancies. Doping CeO2 by Fe is predicted to lead to more oxygen vacancies and a higher N2 selectivity, which is validated by the lower onset of N2 formation for a Pd catalyst supported on Fe-doped CeO2 prepared by flame spray pyrolysis. Activating ceria surface oxygen by transition metal doping is a promising strategy to improve the performance of three-way catalysts.

Electrochemical Determination of 4-Bromophenoxyacetic Acid Based on CeO2/eGr Composite.

Project description:The determination of plant growth regulators is of great importance for the quality monitoring of crops. In this work, 4-bromophenoxyacetic acid (4-BPA), one of the phenoxyacetic acids, was detected via the electrochemical method for the first time. A CeO2-decorated electrochemical exfoliated graphene (eGr) composite (CeO2/eGr) was constructed as the sensor for sensitive detection of 4-BPA due to the synergistic effect of the excellent catalytic active sites of CeO2 and good electron transference of the eGr. The developed CeO2/eGr sensor displayed a good linearity in a wide range from 0.3 to 150 μmol/L and the lowest detection limit of 0.06 μmol/L for 4-BPA detection. Electrochemical oxidation of 4-BPA follows a mix-controlled process on the CeO2/eGr electrode, which involves 2e in the transference process. This developed CeO2/eGr sensor has excellent repeatability with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2.35% in 10 continuous measurements. Moreover, the practical application of the sensor for 4-BPA detection in apple juice has recoveries in the range of 90-108%. This proposed CeO2/eGr sensor has great potential for detecting plant growth regulators in the agricultural industry.

CuSO4/[Cu(NH3)4]SO4-Composite Thermochemical Energy Storage Materials.

Project description:The thermochemical energy-storage material couple CuSO4/[Cu(NH3)4]SO4 combines full reversibility, application in a medium temperature interval (<350 °C), and fast liberation of stored heat. During reaction with ammonia, a large change in the sulfate solid-state structure occurs, resulting in a 2.6-fold expansion of the bulk material due to NH3 uptake. In order to limit this volume work, as well as enhance the thermal conductivity of the solid material, several composites of anhydrous CuSO4 with inorganic inert support materials were prepared and characterized with regard to their energy storage density, reversibility of the storage reaction, thermal conductivity, and particle morphology. The best thermochemical energy storage properties were obtained for a 10:1 CuSO4-sepiolite composite, combining an attractive energy storage density with slightly improved thermal conductivity and decreased bulk volume work compared to the pure salt.
