Carbon Materials Derived from Poly(aniline-co-p-phenylenediamine) Cryogels.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen-containing carbon derivatives were prepared by the carbonization of poly(aniline-co-p-phenylenediamine) cryogels in inert atmosphere. Lower aniline fraction in the comonomer mixture used for preparation of the cryogels led to the decrease of their thermal stability, a consequent increase of carbonization degree, and less defective structure of carbonized materials. The resulting carbonaceous products had up to 4 orders of magnitude higher specific surface area than their respective cryogel precursors, the highest value 931 m² g^-1 being achieved for carbonized poly(p-phenylenediamine) cryogel. Electrochemical characterization of the carbon derivatives demonstrated that the decrease in aniline concentration during the synthesis of the precursor cryogels led to higher gravimetric capacitance for corresponding carbonized materials. These materials can potentially be used for energy storage applications.

Preparation of Poly (Allylthiourea-Co-Acrylic Acid) Derived Carbon Materials and Their Applications in Wastewater Treatment.

Project description:Functional carbon materials have been developed and applied in various sewage treatment applications in recent years. This article reports the fabrication, characterization, and application of a new kind of poly (allylthiourea-co-acrylic acid) (PAT?PAC) hydrogel-based carbon monolith. The results indicated that the poly acrylic acid component can endow the PAT?PAC hydrogel with an increased swelling ratio and enhanced thermal stability. During the carbonization process, O?H, N?H, C=N, and ?COO? groups, etc. were found to be partly decomposed, leading to the conjugated C=C double bonds produced and the clear red shift of C=O bonds. Particularly, it was found that this shift was accelerated under higher carbonization temperature, which ultimately resulted in the complex conjugated C=C network with oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur atoms doped in-situ. The as-obtained carbon monoliths showed good removal capacity for Ni(II) ions, organic solvents, and dyes, respectively. Further analysis indicated that the Ni(II) ion adsorption process could be well described by pseudo-second-order and Freundlich models under our experimental conditions, respectively. The adsorption capacity for Ni(II) ions and paraffin oil was as high as 557 mg/g and 1.75 g/g, respectively. More importantly, the as-obtained carbon monoliths can be recycled and reused for Ni(II) ions, acetone, and paraffin oil removal. In conclusion, the proposed PAT?PAC-based carbonaceous monoliths are superior adsorbents for wastewater treatment.

Colorimetric and Fluorescent Sensing of Copper Ions in Water through o-Phenylenediamine-Derived Carbon Dots.

Project description:Fluorescent nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon dots (NSCDs) were synthesized using a simple one-step hydrothermal method starting from o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and ammonium sulfide. The prepared NSCDs presented a selective dual optical response to Cu(II) in water through the arising of an absorption band at 660 nm and simultaneous fluorescence enhancement at 564 nm. The first effect was attributed to formation of cuprammonium complexes through coordination with amino functional groups of NSCDs. Alternatively, fluorescence enhancement can be explained by the oxidation of residual OPD bound to NSCDs. Both absorbance and fluorescence showed a linear increase with an increase of Cu(II) concentration in the range 1-100 µM, with the lowest detection limit of 100 nM and 1 µM, respectively. NSCDs were successfully incorporated in a hydrogel agarose matrix for easier handling and application to sensing. The formation of cuprammonium complexes was strongly hampered in an agarose matrix while oxidation of OPD was still effective. As a result, color variations could be perceived both under white light and UV light for concentrations as low as 10 µM. Since these color changes were similarly perceived in tap and lake water samples, the present method could be a promising candidate for simple, cost-effective visual monitoring of copper onsite.

Electrochemical heavy metal removal from water using PVC waste-derived N, S co-doped carbon materials.

Project description:The removal of heavy metal contaminants has aroused global attention due to water shortage and the lax control on the discharge of heavy metal pollutants. Capacitive deionization (CDI) has emerged as a robust, energy-/cost-efficient technique for water treatment. Herein, we reported the simple synthesis of N, S-co-doped carbon materials (NS-C) derived from PVC plastic wastes as CDI electrode materials for the efficient removal of heavy metal ions (HMIs). The NS-C exhibited a large specific surface area (∼1230 m2 g-1) and contained heavy heteroatom doping (∼4.55 at% N and ∼13.30 at% S). The CDI electrode fabricated using NS-C showed high removal efficiency (94-99%), high capacity (36-62 mg g-1), and good regeneration capability for the adsorption of various kinds of low-concentration heavy metal ions (including Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+). Moreover, PVC plastic wastes that are heavily accumulated in the environment and extremely hard to be decomposed and recycled were applied as the carbon source in this study for the fabrication of NS-C, which further rendered the importance of our study in practically treating hazardous waste (HMIs) with waste (PVC plastic wastes) in a clean and efficient way.

N/S-Co-Doped Porous Carbon Sheets Derived from Bagasse as High-Performance Anode Materials for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Heteroatom doping is considered to be an efficient strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of carbon-based anode materials for Na-ion batteries (SIBs), due to the introduction of an unbalanced electron atmosphere and increased electrochemical reactive sites of carbon. However, developing green and low-cost approaches to synthesize heteroatom dual-doped carbon with an appropriate porous structure, is still challenging. Here, N/S-co-doped porous carbon sheets, with a main pore size, in the range 1.8-10 nm, has been fabricated through a simple thermal treatment method, using KOH-treated waste bagasse, as a carbon source, and thiourea, as the N and S precursor. The N/S-co-doped carbon sheet electrodes possess significant defects, high specific surface area, enhanced electronic conductivity, improved sodium storage capacity, and long-term cyclability, thereby delivering a high capacity of 223 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 500 cycles and retaining 155 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 for 2000 cycles. This work provides a low-cost route to fabricate high-performance dual-doped porous carbonaceous anode materials for SIBs.

Development of a near infrared novel bioimaging agent via co-oligomerization of Congo red with aniline and o-phenylenediamine: experimental and theoretical studies.

Project description:With a view to study the effect of insertion of a multifunctional dye moiety on the photo physical properties of conducting polymers, the present paper reports for the first time the homopolymerization and co-oligomerization of Congo red (CR) dye with aniline and o-phenylenediamine. The co-oligomerization was established by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy while the morphology was examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The theoretical as well as experimental data of 1H-NMR as well as IR studies confirmed the co-oligomer formation while ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy studies revealed a dynamic change in the optical properties upon variation of co-oligomer composition. X-ray diffraction studies established a crystalline morphology of oligomers. Live cell confocal imaging studies revealed that the co-oligomers could be effectively used in NIR imaging.

Co@Carbon and Co 3 O4@Carbon nanocomposites derived from a single MOF for supercapacitors.

Project description:Developing a composite electrode containing both carbon and transition metal/metal oxide as the supercapacitor electrode can combine the merits and mitigate the shortcomings of both the components. Herein, we report a simple strategy to prepare the hybrid nanostructure of Co@Carbon and Co3O4@Carbon by pyrolysis a single MOFs precursor. Co-based MOFs (Co-BDC) nanosheets with morphology of regular parallelogram slice have been prepared by a bottom-up synthesis strategy. One-step pyrolysis of Co-BDC, produces a porous carbon layer incorporating well-dispersed Co and Co3O4 nanoparticles. The as-prepared cobalt-carbon composites exhibit the thin layer morphology and large specific surface area with hierarchical porosity. These features significantly improve the ion-accessible surface area for charge storage and shorten the ion transport length in thin dimension, thus contributing to a high specific capacitance. Improved capacitance performance was successfully realized for the asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) (Co@Carbon//Co3O4@Carbon), better than those of the symmetric supercapacitors (SSCs) based on Co@Carbon and Co3O4@Carbon materials (i.e., Co@Carbon//Co@Carbon and Co3O4@Carbon//Co3O4@Carbon). The working voltage of the ASCs can be extended to 1.5 V and show a remarkable high power capability in aqueous electrolyte. This work provides a controllable strategy for nanostructured carbon-metal and carbon-metal oxide composite electrodes from a single precursor.

Biomass-Derived P/N-Co-Doped Carbon Nanosheets Encapsulate Cu3P Nanoparticles as High-Performance Anode Materials for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Biomass-derived approaches have been accepted as a practical way for the design of transitional metal phosphides confined by carbon matrix (TMPs@C) as energy storage materials. Herein, we successfully synthesize P/N-co-doped carbon nanosheets encapsulating Cu3P nanoparticles (Cu3P@P/N-C) by a feasible aqueous reaction followed by a phosphorization procedure using sodium alginate as the biomass carbon source. Cu-alginate hydrogel balls can be squeezed into two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets through a freeze-drying process. Then, Cu3P@P/N-C was obtained after the phosphorization procedure. This rationally designed structure not only improved the kinetics of ion/electron transportation but also buffered the volume expansion of Cu3P nanoparticles during the continuous charge and discharge processes. In addition, the 2D P/N co-doped carbon nanosheets can also serve as a conductive matrix, which can enhance the electronic conductivity of the whole electrode as well as provide rapid channels for electron/ion diffusion. Thus, when applied as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, it exhibited remarkable cycling stability and rate performance. Prominently, Cu3P@P/N-C demonstrated an outstanding reversible capacity of 209.3 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 1,000 cycles. Besides, it still maintained a superior specific capacity of 118.2 mAh g-1 after 2,000 cycles, even at a high current density of 5 A g-1.

Functional Carbon Materials Derived through Hypergolic Reactions at Ambient Conditions.

Project description:Carbon formation from organic precursors is an energy-consuming process that often requires the heating of a precursor in an oven at elevated temperature. In this paper, we present a conceptually different synthesis pathway for functional carbon materials based on hypergolic mixtures, i.e., mixtures that spontaneously ignite at ambient conditions once its ingredients contact each other. The reactions involved in such mixtures are highly exothermic, giving-off sizeable amounts of energy; hence, no any external heat source is required for carbonization, thus making the whole process more energy-liberating than energy-consuming. The hypergolic mixtures described here contain a combustible organic solid, such as nitrile rubber or a hydrazide derivative, and fuming nitric acid (100% HNO3) as a strong oxidizer. In the case of the nitrile rubber, carbon nanosheets are obtained, whereas in the case of the hydrazide derivative, photoluminescent carbon dots are formed. We also demonstrate that the energy released from these hypergolic reactions can serve as a heat source for the thermal conversion of certain triazine-based precursors into graphitic carbon nitride. Finally, certain aspects of the derived functional carbons in waste removal are also discussed.
