Understanding Electrocatalytic Hydrodechlorination of Chlorophenols on Palladium-Modified Cathode in Aqueous Solution.

ABSTRACT: This work aimed at investigating electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (ECH) mechanisms of chlorophenols (CPs) on a Pd-modified cathode. Experiments on the ECH of 2,4-dichlorophenol were conducted under extreme test conditions, i.e., with various buffer solutions and several sodium salt solutions as supporting electrolytes. Buffer solutions promote dechlorination due to their property of retarding the alkalinity of a solution. ECH was found to be significantly inhibited by sulfite. Experimental results showed that sulfite poisoning on Pd catalysts was reversible. Protonation may account, at least in part, for the observed high pH dependency of ECH, which proceeded rapidly, with lower apparent activation energy (E _a) in the acidic electrolyte. In addition, pH influenced the selectivity of dechlorination of CPs. It was inferred that the ECH of CPs on the Pd-modified electrode was a preactivated electrocatalytic reaction.

A twelve-electron conversion iodine cathode enabled by interhalogen chemistry in aqueous solution.

Project description:The battery chemistry aiming for high energy density calls for the redox couples that embrace multi-electron transfer with high redox potential. Here we report a twelve-electron transfer iodine electrode based on the conversion between iodide and iodate in aqueous electrolyte, which is six times than that of the conventional iodide/iodine redox couple. This is enabled by interhalogen chemistry between iodine (in the electrode) and bromide (in the acidic electrolyte), which provides an electrochemical-chemical loop (the bromide-iodate loop) that accelerates the kinetics and reversibility of the iodide/iodate electrode reaction. In the deliberately designed aqueous electrolyte, the twelve-electron iodine electrode delivers a high specific capacity of 1200 mAh g-1 with good reversibility, corresponding to a high energy density of 1357 Wh kg-1. The proposed iodine electrode is substantially promising for the design of future high energy density aqueous batteries, as validated by the zinc-iodine full battery and the acid-alkaline decoupling battery.

Doping palladium with tellurium for the highly selective electrocatalytic reduction of aqueous CO2 to CO.

Project description:Designing highly selective and energy-efficient electrocatalysts to minimize the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction in the electrochemical reduction of aqueous CO2 remains a challenge. In this study, we report that doping Pd with a small amount of Te could selectively convert CO2 to CO with a low overpotential. The PdTe/few-layer graphene (FLG) catalyst with a Pd/Te molar ratio of 1?:?0.05 displayed a maximum CO faradaic efficiency of about 90% at -0.8 V (vs. a reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE), CO partial current density of 4.4 mA cm-2, and CO formation turnover frequency of 0.14 s-1 at -1.0 V (vs. a RHE), which were 3.7-, 4.3-, and 10-fold higher than those of a Pd/FLG catalyst, respectively. Density functional calculations showed that Te adatoms preferentially bind at the terrace sites of Pd, thereby suppressing undesired hydrogen evolution, whereas CO2 adsorption and activation occurred on the high index sites of Pd to produce CO.

Graphitic Carbon Quantum Dots Modified Nickel Cobalt Sulfide as Cathode Materials for Alkaline Aqueous Batteries.

Project description:Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as a new class of emerging materials have gradually drawn researchers' concern in recent years. In this work, the graphitic CQDs are prepared through a scalable approach, achieving a high yield with more than 50%. The obtained CQDs are further used as structure-directing and conductive agents to synthesize novel N,S-CQDs/NiCo2S4 composite cathode materials, manifesting the enhanced electrochemical properties resulted from the synergistic effect of highly conductive N,S-codoped CQDs offering fast electronic transport and unique micro-/nanostructured NiCo2S4 microspheres with Faradaic redox characteristic contributing large capacity. Moreover, the nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO)/Fe2O3 composite anode materials exhibit ultrahigh specific capacity as well as significantly improved rate property and cycle performance originating from the high-capacity prism-like Fe2O3 hexahedrons tightly wrapped by highly conductive N-rGO. A novel alkaline aqueous battery assembled by these materials displays a specific energy (50.2 Wh kg-1), ultrahigh specific power (9.7 kW kg-1) and excellent cycling performance with 91.5% of capacity retention at 3 A g-1 for 5000 cycles. The present research offers a valuable guidance for the exploitation of advanced energy storage devices by the rational design and selection of battery/capacitive composite materials.

Fabrication of a magnetite/diazonium functionalized-reduced graphene oxide hybrid as an easily regenerated adsorbent for efficient removal of chlorophenols from aqueous solution.

Project description:A magnetic hybrid nanomaterial, which contains magnetite (Fe3O4) particles and diazonium functionalized-reduced graphene oxide (DF-RGO), was fabricated via a three-pot reaction. First, the reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was synthesized via a redox reaction. Second, diazonium functionalized-RGO was prepared via a feasible chemical reaction. Third, Fe3O4 particles were loaded onto the surface of DF-RGO by covalent bonding, fabricating the M-DF-RGO hybrid. The fabricated hybrid was characterized by SEM, TEM, AFM, XRD, XPS, FT-IR, TGA, Raman spectroscopy, and magnetometry. The resulting M-DF-RGO hybrid possessed unique magnetic properties and was applied to remove 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) from aqueous solution. The adsorption of 4-CP and 2,4-DCP on the M-DF-RGO hybrid was performed under various conditions, with respect to initial chlorophenol concentration, pH, and contact time. The results suggest that the adsorption of 4-CP and 2,4-DCP onto the M-DF-RGO hybrid is strongly dependent on pH and weakly dependent on contact time. In addition, the adsorption isotherm of 4-CP and 2,4-DCP on the M-DF-RGO hybrid fits the Freundlich model well and the adsorption capacities of 4-CP and 2,4-DCP on M-DF-RGO reached 55.09 and 127.33 mg g-1, respectively, at pH 6 and 25 °C. In this situation, intermolecular interactions including π-π interactions and hydrogen bonding are operative. The calculated results of density functional theory further demonstrate that 2,4-DCP molecules could be more easily absorbed than 4-CP molecules by the M-DF-RGO hybrid. Moreover, the M-DF-RGO hybrid could be easily separated by a magnetic separation process, and showed good recyclability of more than five cycles.

Adsorption of Phenol and Chlorophenols by HDTMA Modified Halloysite Nanotubes.

Project description:The adsorption of phenol, 2-, 3-, 4-chlorophenol, 2-, 4-dichlorophenol and 2-, 4-, 6-trichloro-phenol on halloysite nanotubes modified with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA/halloysite nanocomposite) was investigated in this work by inverse liquid chromatography methods. Morphological and structural changes of the HDTMA/halloysite nanocomposite were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) and the low-temperature nitrogen adsorption method. Specific surface energy heterogeneity profiles and acid base properties of halloysite and HDTMA/halloysite nanocomposite have been determined with the inverse gas chromatography method. Inverse liquid chromatography methods: the Peak Division and the Breakthrough Curves Methods were used in adsorption experiments to determine adsorption parameters. The obtained experimental adsorption data were well represented by the Langmuir multi-center adsorption model.

Selective sorption of uranium from aqueous solution by graphene oxide-modified materials.

Project description:The effect of competing ions on the sorption behaviour of uranium onto carboxyl-functionalised graphene oxide (COOH-GO) were studied in batch experiments in comparison to graphene oxide (GO) and graphite. The effect of increasing the abundance of select chemical functional groups, such as carboxyl groups, on the selectivity of U sorption was investigated. In the course of the study, COOH-GO demonstrated superior performance as a sorbent material for the selective removal of uranyl ions from aqueous solution with a distribution coefficient of 3.72 ± 0.19 × 103 mL g-1 in comparison to 3.97 ± 0.5 × 102 and 2.68 ± 0.2 × 102 mL g-1 for GO and graphite, respectively.

Antimonate sequestration from aqueous solution using zirconium, iron and zirconium-iron modified biochars.

Project description:Antimony (Sb) is increasingly being recognized as an important contaminant due to its various industrial applications and mining operations. Environmental remediation approaches for Sb are still lacking, as is the understanding of Sb environmental chemistry. In this study, biosolid biochar (BSBC) was produced and utilized to remove antimonate (Sb(V)) from aqueous solution. Zirconium (Zr), Zirconium-iron (Zr-Fe) and Fe-O coated BSBC were synthesized for enhancing Sb(V) sorption capacities of BSBC. The combined results of specific surface area, FTIR, SEM-EDS, TEM-EDS, and XPS confirmed that Zr and/or Zr-Fe were successfully coated onto BSBC. The effects of reaction time, pH, initial Sb(V) concentration, adsorbate doses, ionic strength, temperature, and the influence of major competitive co-existing anions and cations on the adsorption of Sb(V) were investigated. The maximum sorption capacity of Zr-O, Zr-Fe, Zr-FeCl3, Fe-O, and FeCl3 coated BSBC were 66.67, 98.04, 85.47, 39.68, and 31.54 mg/g respectively under acidic conditions. The XPS results revealed redox transformation of Sb(V) species to Sb(III) occurred under oxic conditions, demonstrating the biochar's ability to behave as an electron shuttle during sorption. The sorption study suggests that Zr-O and Zr-O-Fe coated BSBC could perform as favourable adsorbents for mitigating Sb(V) contaminated waters.

Mechanistic Study of the Activation and the Electrocatalytic Reduction of Hydrogen Peroxide by Cu-tmpa in Neutral Aqueous Solution.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide plays an important role as an intermediate and product in the reduction of dioxygen by copper enzymes and mononuclear copper complexes. The copper(II) tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine complex (Cu-tmpa) has been shown to produce H2O2 as an intermediate during the electrochemical 4-electron reduction of O2. We investigated the electrochemical hydrogen peroxide reduction reaction (HPRR) by Cu-tmpa in a neutral aqueous solution. The catalytic rate constant of the reaction was shown to be one order of magnitude lower than the reduction of dioxygen. A significant solvent kinetic isotope effect (KIE) of 1.4 to 1.7 was determined for the reduction of H2O2, pointing to a Fenton-like reaction pathway as the likely catalytic mechanism, involving a single copper site that produces an intermediate copper(II) hydroxo species and a free hydroxyl radical anion in the process.

Enhanced removal of As (V) from aqueous solution using modified hydrous ferric oxide nanoparticles.

Project description:Hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) is most effective with high treatment capacity on arsenate [As(V)] sorption although its transformation and aggregation nature need further improvement. Here, HFO nanoparticles with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or starch as modifier was synthesized for the purpose of stability improvement and As(V) removal from water. Comparatively, CMC might be the optimum stabilizer for HFO nanoparticles because of more effective physical and chemical stability. The large-pore structure, high surface specific area, and the non-aggregated nature of CMC-HFO lead to increased adsorption sites, and thus high adsorption capacities of As(V) without pre-treatment (355 mg·g-1), which is much greater than those reported in previous studies. Second-order equation and dual-mode isotherm model could be successfully used to interpret the sorption kinetics and isotherms of As(V), respectively. FTIR, XPS and XRD analyses suggested that precipitation and surface complexation were primary mechanisms for As(V) removal by CMC modified HFO nanoparticles. A surface complexation model (SCM) was used to simulate As adsorption over pH 2.5-10.4. The predominant adsorbed arsenate species were modeled as bidentate binuclear surface complexes at low pH and as monodentate complexes at high pH. The immobilized arsenic remained stable when aging for 270 d at room temperature.

Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation of ciprofloxacin in aqueous solution using a manganese-modified silicate ore.

Project description:Manganese modified silicate ore (MnSO) prepared using an impregnation method was used as a heterogeneous ozonation catalyst, and the catalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). The results showed that the manganese oxide was successfully loaded onto natural silicate ore (SO). The degradation and mineralization efficiencies of CIP were considerably improved in the presence of MnSO. Under optimal conditions, the CIP removal process followed the pseudo-first-order reaction model well. The degradation rate constant of MnSO/O3 was 1.7 times and 3.3 times higher than those of SO/O3 and only O3, respectively. During the ozonation of the CIP aqueous solution in the presence of MnSO, the TOC removal rate reached 61.2% at 60 min, but was only 30.8% using ozonation alone. The addition of tert-butanol (TBA) significantly inhibited the degradation efficiency of CIP, which indicated that catalytic ozonation of MnSO followed a hydroxyl radical (·OH) reaction mechanism. Furthermore, MnSO showed great stability and durability over several reaction cycles.
