One-Step Synthesis of NiFe Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheet Array/N-Doped Graphite Foam Electrodes for Oxygen Evolution Reactions.

ABSTRACT: Developing cost-effective and highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is vital for the production of clean hydrogen by electrocatalytic water splitting. Here, three dimensional nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (NiFe LDH) nanosheet arrays are in-situ fabricated on self-supporting nitrogen doped graphited foam (NGF) via a one-step hydrothermal process under an optimized amount of urea. The as prepared NiFe LDH/NGF electrode exhibits a remarkable activity toward OER with a low onset overpotential of 233?mV and a Tafel slope of 59.4?mV?dec-1 as well as a long-term durability. Such good performance is attributed to the synergy among the doping effect, the binder-free characteristic, and the architecture of the nanosheet array.

3D-printed NiFe-layered double hydroxide pyramid electrodes for enhanced electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction.

Project description:Electrochemical water splitting has been considered one of the most promising methods of hydrogen production, which does not cause environmental pollution or greenhouse gas emissions. Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a significant step for highly efficient water splitting because OER involves the four electron transfer, overcoming the associated energy barrier that demands a potential greater than that required by hydrogen evolution reaction. Therefore, an OER electrocatalyst with large surface area and high conductivity is needed to increase the OER activity. In this work, we demonstrated an effective strategy to produce a highly active three-dimensional (3D)-printed NiFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) pyramid electrode for OER using a three-step method, which involves direct-ink-writing of a graphene pyramid array and electrodeposition of a copper conducive layer and NiFe-LDH electrocatalyst layer on printed pyramids. The 3D pyramid structures with NiFe-LDH electrocatalyst layers increased the surface area and the active sites of the electrode and improved the OER activity. The overpotential (η) and exchange current density (i0) of the NiFe-LDH pyramid electrode were further improved compared to that of the NiFe-LDH deposited Cu (NiFe-LDH/Cu) foil electrode with the same base area. The 3D-printed NiFe-LDH electrode also exhibited excellent durability without potential decay for 60 h. Our 3D printing strategy provides an effective approach for the fabrication of highly active, stable, and low-cost OER electrocatalyst electrodes.

Formation of a CoMn-Layered Double Hydroxide/Graphite Supercapacitor by a Single Electrochemical Step.

Project description:Hybrid electric storage systems that combine capacitive and faradaic materials need to be well designed to benefit from the advantages of batteries and supercapacitors. The ultimate capacitive material is graphite (GR), yet high capacitance is usually not achieved due to restacking of its sheets. Therefore, an appealing approach to achieve high power and energy systems is to embed a faradaic 2D material in between the graphite sheets. Here, a simple one-step approach was developed, whereby a faradaic material [layered double hydroxide (LDH)] was electrochemically formed inside electrochemically exfoliated graphite. Specifically, GR was exfoliated under negative potentials by CoII and, in the presence of MnII , formed GR-CoMn-LDH, which exhibited a high areal capacitance and energy density. The high areal capacitance was attributed to the exfoliation of the graphite at very negative potentials to form a 3D foam-like structure driven by hydrogen evolution as well as the deposition of CoMn-LDH due to hydroxide ion generation inside the GR sheets. The ratio between the CoII and MnII in the CoMn-LDH was optimized and analyzed, and the electrochemical performance was studied. Analysis of a cross-section of the GR-CoMn-LDH confirmed the deposition of LDH inside the GR layers. The areal capacitance of the electrode was 186 mF cm-2 at a scan rate of 2 mV s-1 . Finally, an asymmetric supercapacitor was assembled with GR-CoMn-LDH and exfoliated graphite as the positive and negative electrodes, respectively, yielding an energy density of 96.1 μWh cm-3 and a power density of 5 mW cm-3 .

A NiFe layered double hydroxide-decorated N-doped entangled-graphene framework: a robust water oxidation electrocatalyst.

Project description:Three dimensional (3D) porous carbon materials are highly desirable for electrochemical applications owing to their high surface area and porosity. Uniformly distributed porosity in the 3D architecture of carbon support materials allows reactant molecules to access more electrochemically active centres and simultaneously facilitate removal of the product formed during electrochemical reactions. Herein, we have prepared a nitrogen-doped entangled graphene framework (NEGF), decorated with NiFe-LDH nanostructures by an in situ solvothermal method followed by freeze-drying at high vacuum pressure and low temperature. The freeze-drying method helped to prevent the restacking of the graphene sheets and the formation of a high surface area nitrogen-doped entangled graphene framework (NEGF) supported NiFe-LDHs. The incorporation of the NEGF has significantly reduced the overpotential for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1 M KOH solution. This corresponds to an overpotential reduction from 340 mV for NiFe-LDHs to 290 mV for NiFe-LDH/NEGF to reach the benchmark current density of 10 mA cm-2. The preparation of the catalyst is conceived through a low-temperature scalable process.

One-step hydrothermal growth of porous nickel manganese layered double hydroxide nanosheet film towards efficient visible-light modulation.

Project description:Electrochromic smart windows have attracted great attention due to their dynamic regulation of the solar spectrum. NiO and MnO2 are typical anodic coloration materials and widely investigated as complementary electrodes with WO3. However, NiO and MnO2 films often cannot be bleached to complete transparency, resulting in low transmittances and low optical modulations in the short-wavelength visible region. Herein, we report a porous nickel manganese layered double hydroxide (NiMn-LDH) nanosheet film directly grown on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass using a one-step hydrothermal method, which demonstrates a high transmittance of 80.1% at 550 nm (without deduction of FTO glass). Induced by the double-redox couples of Ni2+/Ni3+ and Mn3+/Mn4+ associated synergistic electrochromic effect, the as-grown NiMn-LDH film electrode exhibits a large optical modulation of 68.5% at 550 nm, and a large solar irradiation modulation of 59.0% in the visible region of 400-800 nm. After annealing at 450 °C for 2 h, the NiMn-LDH film can be transformed into Ni6MnO8 film with a reduced optical modulation of 30.0% at 550 nm. Furthermore, the NiMn-LDH film electrode delivers an areal capacitance of 30.8 mF cm-2 at a current density of 0.1 mA cm-2. These results suggest that the as-prepared NiMn-LDH film electrode is a promising candidate for both electrochromic and energy storage applications.

Anomalous Discharge Behavior of Graphite Nanosheet Electrodes in Lithium-Oxygen Batteries.

Project description:Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries require rational air electrode concepts to achieve high energy densities. We report a simple but effective electrode design based on graphite nanosheets (GNS) as active material to facilitate the discharge reaction. In contrast to other carbon forms we tested, GNS show a distinctive two-step discharge behavior. Fundamental aspects of the battery's discharge profile were examined in different depths of discharge using scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. We attribute the second stage of discharge to the electrochemically induced expansion of graphite, which allows an increase in the discharge product uptake. Raman spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction confirmed the main discharge product to be Li2O2, which was found as particulate coating on GNS at the electrode top, and in damaged areas at the bottom together with Li2CO3 and Li2O. Large discharge capacity comes at a price: the chemical and structural integrity of the cathode suffers from graphite expansion and unwanted byproducts. In addition to the known instability of the electrode-electrolyte interface, new challenges emerge from high depths of discharge. The mechanistic origin of the observed effects, as well as air electrode design strategies to deal with them, are discussed in this study.

Ultrathin sulfate-intercalated NiFe-layered double hydroxide nanosheets for efficient electrocatalytic oxygen evolution.

Project description:As an important two-dimensional material, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) show considerable potential in electrocatalytic reactions. However, the great thickness of the bulk LDH materials significantly limits their catalytic activity. In this work, we report ultrathin NiFe-LDH nanosheets with sulfate interlayer anions (Ni6Fe2(SO4)(OH)16·7H2O) (U-LDH(SO4 2-)), which can be synthesized in gram-scale by a simple solvothermal method. The U-LDH(SO4 2-) shows excellent stability and great electrocatalytic performance in OER with a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a low overpotential of 212 mV and a small Tafel slope of 65.2 mV dec-1, exhibiting its great potential for a highly efficient OER electrocatalyst.

Overall water splitting by graphdiyne-exfoliated and -sandwiched layered double-hydroxide nanosheet arrays.

Project description:It is of great urgency to develop efficient, cost-effective, stable and industrially applicable electrocatalysts for renewable energy systems. But there are still few candidate materials. Here we show a bifunctional electrocatalyst, comprising graphdiyne-exfoliated and -sandwiched iron/cobalt layered double-hydroxide nanosheet arrays grown on nickel foam, for the oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions. Theoretical and experimental data revealed that the charge transport kinetics of the structure were superior to iron/cobalt layered double-hydroxide, a prerequisite for improved electrocatalytic performance. The incorporation with graphdiyne increased the number of catalytically active sites and prevented corrosion, leading to greatly enhanced electrocatalytic activity and stability for oxygen evolution reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, as well as overall water splitting. Our results suggest that the use of graphdiyne might open up new pathways for the design and fabrication of earth-abundant, efficient, functional, and smart electrode materials with practical applications.

Cu2O Photocathode for Low Bias Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting Enabled by NiFe-Layered Double Hydroxide Co-Catalyst.

Project description:Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are bimetallic hydroxides that currently attract considerable attention as co-catalysts in photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems in view of water splitting under solar light. A wide spectrum of LDHs can be easily prepared on demand by tuning their chemical composition and structural morphology. We describe here the electrochemical growth of NiFe-LDH overlayers on Cu2O electrodes and study their PEC behavior. By using the modified Cu2O/NiFe-LDH electrodes we observe a remarkable seven-fold increase of the photocurrent intensity under an applied voltage as low as -0.2 V vs Ag/AgCl. The origin of such a pronounced effect is the improved electron transfer towards the electrolyte brought by the NiFe-LDH overlayer due to an appropriate energy level alignment. Long-term photostability tests reveal that Cu2O/NiFe-LDH photocathodes show no photocurrent loss after 40 hours of operation under light at -0.2 V vs Ag/AgCl low bias condition. These improved performances make Cu2O/NiFe-LDH a suitable photocathode material for low voltage H2 production. Indeed, after 8 hours of H2 production under -0.2 V vs Ag/AgCl the PEC cell delivers a 78% faradaic efficiency. This unprecedented use of Cu2O/NiFe-LDH as an efficient photocathode opens new perspectives in view of low biasd or self-biased PEC water splitting under sunlight illumination.

Efficient Capture of Heavy Metal Ions and Arsenic with a CaY-Carbonate Layered Double-Hydroxide Nanosheet.

Project description:Nanosheets consisting of two-dimensional (2-D) nanomaterials made up of Ca2+ (Ca), and Y3+ (Y) cations and carbonate [CO3 2-] anions in the interlayer with a uniform thickness and lengths of around 10 μm have been successfully synthesized in a hydrotalcite layer structure, otherwise known as a layered double hydroxide, using a facile hydrothermal method. The resulting CaY-CO3 2- layered double-hydroxide (LDH) materials demonstrate outstanding affinity and selectivity for toxic transition metal ions such as Cr3+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, and Hg2+ as well as metalloid As3+. The adsorption of all of the highly toxic metal ions from the aqueous solution was found to be exceptionally rapid and highly selective, with more than 95% removal achieved within 30 min. For AsO3, a strong adsorption potential of 452 mg/g was observed at pH 7.0, which is better than most values previously reported. The distribution coefficient K d values can exceed ∼106 mL/g for Cr3+, Pb2+, and As3+, which are highly toxic. The fabricated materials have excellent chemical stability: they retain their well-defined lamellar shapes even under mildly acidic conditions.
