The utilization of micro-mesoporous carbon-based filler in the P84 hollow fibre membrane for gas separation.

ABSTRACT: This research involved carrying out a unique micro-mesoporous carbon particle incorporation into P84 co-polyimide membrane for improved gas separation performance. The carbon filler was prepared using a hard template method from zeolite and known as zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC). This research aims to study the loading amount of ZTC into P84 co-polyimide toward the gas separation performance. The ZTC was prepared using simple impregnation method of sucrose into hard template of zeolite Y. The SEM result showing a dispersed ZTC particle on the membrane surface and cross-section. The pore size distribution (PSD) of ZTC revealed that the particle consists of two characteristics of micro and mesoporous region. It was noted that with only 0.5 wt% of ZTC addition, the permeability was boosted up from 4.68 to 7.06 and from 8.95 to 13.15 barrer, for CO₂ and H₂ respectively when compared with the neat membrane. On the other hand, the optimum loading was at 1 wt%, where the membrane received thermal stability boost of 10% along with the 62.4 and 35% of selectivity boost of CO₂/CH₄ and H₂/CH₄, respectively. It was noted that the position of the filler on the membrane surface was significantly affecting the gas transport mechanism of the membrane. Overall, the results demonstrated that the addition of ZTC with proper filler position is a potential candidate to be applicable in the gas separation involving CO₂ and H₂.

Mesoporous carbon originated from non-permanent porous MOFs for gas storage and CO2/CH4 separation.

Project description:Four nanoporous carbons prepared by direct carbonization of non-permanent highly porous MOF [Zn3(BTC)2 · (H2O)3]n without any additional carbon precursors. The carbonization temperature plays an important role in the pore structures of the resultant carbons. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas of four carbon materials vary from 464 to 1671 m(2) g(-1) for different carbonization temperature. All the four carbon materials showed a mesoporous structure centered at ca. 3 nm, high surface area and good physicochemical stability. Hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide sorption measurements indicated that the C1000 has good gas uptake capabilities. The excess H2 uptake at 77 K and 17.9 bar can reach 32.9 mg g(-1) and the total uptake is high to 45 mg g(-1). Meanwhile, at 95 bar, the total CH4 uptake can reach as high as 208 mg g(-1). Moreover the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) prediction exhibited exceptionally high adsorption selectivity for CO2/CH4 in an equimolar mixture at 298 K and 1 bar (S(ads) = 27) which is significantly higher than that of some porous materials in the similar condition.

Pulsed photothermal interferometry for spectroscopic gas detection with hollow-core optical fibre.

Project description:Gas detection with hollow-core photonic bandgap fibre (HC-PBF) and pulsed photothermal (PT) interferometry spectroscopy are studied theoretically and experimentally. A theoretical model is developed and used to compute the gas-absorption-induced temperature and phase modulation in a HC-PBF filled with low-concentration of C2H2 in nitrogen. The PT phase modulation dynamics for different pulse duration, peak power and energy of pump beam are numerically modelled, which are supported by the experimental results obtained around the P(9) absorption line of C2H2 at 1530.371 nm. Thermal conduction is identified as the main process responsible for the phase modulation dynamics. For a constant peak pump power level, the phase modulation is found to increase with pulse duration up to ~1.2 μs, while it increases with decreasing pulse duration for a constant pulse energy. It is theoretically possible to achieve ppb level detection of C2H2 with ~1 m length HC-PBF and a pump beam with ~10 ns pulse duration and ~100 nJ pulse energy.

Biocompatible Mesoporous Hollow Carbon Nanocapsules for High Performance Supercapacitors.

Project description:A facile and general method for the controllable synthesis of N-doped hollow mesoporous carbon nanocapsules (NHCNCs) with four different geometries has been developed. The spheres (NHCNC-1), low-concaves (NHCNC-2), semi-concaves (NHCNC-3) and wrinkles (NHCNC-4) shaped samples were prepared and systematically investigated to understand the structural effects of hollow particles on their supercapacitor performances. Compared with the other three different shaped samples (NHCNC-1, NHCNC-2, and NHCNC-4), the as-synthesized semi-concave structured NHCNC-3 demonstrated excellent performance with high gravimetric capacitance of 326?F?g-1 (419?F?cm-3) and ultra-stable cycling stability (96.6% after 5000 cycles). The outstanding performances achieved are attributed to the unique semi-concave structure, high specific surface area (1400 m2 g-1), hierarchical porosity, high packing density (1.41?g?cm-3) and high nitrogen (N) content (up to 3.73%) of the new materials. These carbon nanocapsules with tailorable structures and properties enable them as outstanding carriers and platforms for various emerging applications, such as nanoscale chemical reactors, catalysis, batteries, solar energy harvest, gas storage and so on. In addition, these novel carbons have negligible cytotoxicity and high biocompatibility for human cells, promising a wide range of bio applications, such as biomaterials, drug delivery, biomedicine, biotherapy and bioelectronic devices.

ZIF-95 as a filler for enhanced gas separation performance of polysulfone membrane.

Project description:Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are found to be promising porous crystalline materials for application in gas separation. Considering that mixed matrix membranes usually increase the gas separation performance of a polymer by increasing selectivity, permeability, or both (i.e., perm-selectivity), the zeolitic imidazole framework-95 (ZIF-95) MOF was dispersed for the first time in polysulfone (PSF) polymer to form mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), namely, ZIF-95/PSF. The fabricated ZIF-95/PSF membranes were examined for the separation of various gases. The characterization of solvothermally synthesized ZIF-95 was carried out using different analyses such as powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), porosity measurements, etc. ZIF-95 was mixed with PSF at 8%, 16%, 24%, and 32% weight percent to form different loading MMMs. SEM analysis of membranes revealed good compatibility/adhesion between the MOF and polymer. The permeability of He, H2, O2, CO2, N2, and CH4 were measured for the pure and composite membranes. The ideal selectivity of different gas pairs were calculated and compared with reported mixed matrix membranes. The maximum increases in permeabilities were observed in 32% loaded membrane; nevertheless, these performance/permeability increases were at the expense of a slight decrease of selectivity. In the optimally loaded membrane (i.e., 24 wt% loaded membrane), the permeability of H2, O2, and CO2 increased by 80.2%, 78.0%, and 67.2%, respectively, as compared to the pure membrane. Moreover, the selectivity of H2/CH4, O2/N2, and H2/CO2 gas pairs also increased by 16%, 15%, and 8% in the 24% loaded membrane, respectively.

Development of a P84/ZCC Composite Carbon Membrane for Gas Separation of H2/CO2 and H2/CH4.

Project description:Hydrogen (H2) has become one of the promising alternative clean energy resources. Membrane technology is a potential method for hydrogen separation or production. This study aims to develop a new carbon membrane for hydrogen separation or production. Moreover, the permeation behavior of H2, CO2, and CH4 through a hollow fiber composite carbon membrane derived from P84 co-polyimide and with incorporation of zeolite composite carbon (ZCC) was also examined. ZCC was synthesized via the impregnation method of sucrose into zeolite-Y pores, followed by carbonization at 800 °C. Thus, this filler has a high surface area, high microporosity, ordered pore structure, and low hydrophilicity. The presence of zeolites in ZCC is predicted to increase certain gases' affinity for the membrane. Various heating rates (1-5 °C/min) were applied during pyrolysis to understand the effect of the heating rate on the pore structure and H2/CO2 and H2/CH4 gas separation performance. Moreover, gas permeation was evaluated at various temperatures (298-373 K) to study the thermodynamic aspect of the process. A characteristic graphite peak was detected at 2θ ∼ 44° in all carbon samples. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations revealed the void-free surface and the asymmetric structure of the carbon membranes. During the permeation test, it was found that gas permeation through the membrane was significantly affected by the temperature of the separation process. The highest permeability of H2, CO2, and CH4 was detected on the composite carbon membrane at a 3 °C/min heating rate with a permeation temperature of 373 K. The thermodynamic study shows that CO2 and H2 have lower activation energies compared to CH4. The transport mechanism of the membrane involved adsorption and activated surface diffusion. The permeation temperature has a large impact on the transport of small penetrants in the carbon matrix.

Hierarchical micro/nanostructured silver hollow fiber boosts electroreduction of carbon dioxide.

Project description:Efficient conversion of CO2 to commodity chemicals by sustainable way is of great significance for achieving carbon neutrality. Although considerable progress has been made in CO2 utilization, highly efficient CO2 conversion with high space velocity under mild conditions remains a challenge. Here, we report a hierarchical micro/nanostructured silver hollow fiber electrode that reduces CO2 to CO with a faradaic efficiency of 93% and a current density of 1.26 A · cm-2 at a potential of -0.83 V vs. RHE. Exceeding 50% conversions of as high as 31,000 mL · gcat-1 · h-1 CO2 are achieved at ambient temperature and pressure. Electrochemical results and time-resolved operando Raman spectra demonstrate that enhanced three-phase interface reactions and oriented mass transfers synergistically boost CO production.

Lightweight MWCNT/hollow mesoporous carbon/WPU composite material with excellent electromagnetic shielding performance.

Project description:With the rapid increase of intelligent communication equipment, electromagnetic pollution is becoming more and more serious, and the research and application of high-performance electromagnetic shielding materials have attracted great attention from the academic and engineering circles. Traditional metal-based electromagnetic shielding materials have high reflection loss, high density, and are difficult to process. Polymer-based materials with carbon materials as fillers have the advantages of flexibility, light weight, corrosion resistance and low processing costs. They have become the most important materials in the field of electromagnetic shielding in recent years. However, the conductivity of conductive polymer materials is not high. Therefore, improving the electromagnetic shielding performance and the proportion of absorption loss under low density conditions have become key issues for polymer-based electromagnetic shielding materials. MWCNT/MCHMs/WPU composites were prepared by a solution mixing method, with 20 wt%, 40 wt%, 60 wt% MWCNTs and 40 wt% MWCNT/10 wt% MCHMs as fillers. By comparing the effects of different MWCNT content and MCHMs on the dielectric properties, electromagnetic shielding properties and mechanical properties of the MWCNT/MCHMs/WPU composites, the relationship between the structure and properties of the composites has been explored. The 0.6 mm WPU/60 wt% MWCNT composite has an electrical conductivity of 95.4 S m-1 and an electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of 40 dB in the X band. Adding 10 wt% MCHMs to the WPU/40 wt% MWCNT composite material can significantly improve the composite. The δ of the material increased from 51.2 S m-1 to 55.4 S m-1, and the SE increased from 30 dB to 33 dB. The research results show that the increase in MWCNT content and MCHMs is beneficial to improving the electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding performance of the composite materials.

Tailored Gas Adsorption Properties of Electrospun Carbon Nanofibers for Gas Separation and Storage.

Project description:Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) derived from electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) were investigated with respect to their gas adsorption properties. By employing CO2 adsorption measurements, it is shown that the adsorption capacity and selectivity of the fibers can be tailored by means of the applied carbonization temperature. General pore properties of the CNFs were identified by Ar adsorption measurements, whereas CO2 adsorption measurements provided information about the ultramicroporosity, adsorption energies, and adsorption capacities. Ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) selectivities under practically relevant conditions were determined by evaluation of single-component data for N2 and CO2 . Especially for low carbonization temperatures, the CNFs exhibit very good low-pressure adsorption performance and excellent CO2 /N2 IAST selectivities of 350 at 20 mbar and 132 at 1 bar, which are attributed to a molecular-sieve effect in very narrow slit pores. These IAST selectivities are some of the highest values for carbon materials reported in the literature so far and the highest IAST selectivities for as-prepared, non-post-treated carbon ever.

Mesoporous hollow carbon spheres for lithium-sulfur batteries: distribution of sulfur and electrochemical performance.

Project description:Hollow carbon spheres (HCS) with a nanoporous shell are promising for the use in lithium-sulfur batteries because of the large internal void offering space for sulfur and polysulfide storage and confinement. However, there is an ongoing discussion whether the cavity is accessible for sulfur. Yet no valid proof of cavity filling has been presented, mostly due to application of unsuitable high-vacuum methods for the analysis of sulfur distribution. Here we describe the distribution of sulfur in hollow carbon spheres by powder X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy along with results from scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen physisorption. The results of these methods lead to the conclusion that the cavity is not accessible for sulfur infiltration. Nevertheless, HCS/sulfur composite cathodes with areal sulfur loadings of 2.0 mg·cm-2 were investigated electrochemically, showing stable cycling performance with specific capacities of about 500 mAh·g-1 based on the mass of sulfur over 500 cycles.
