Three-Dimensional Ordered Mesoporous Carbon Spheres Modified with Ultrafine Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Enhanced Microwave Absorption Properties.

ABSTRACT: Currently, electromagnetic radiation and interference have a significant effect on the operation of electronic devices and human health systems. Thus, developing excellent microwave absorbers have a huge significance in the material research field. Herein, a kind of ultrafine zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) supported on three-dimensional (3D) ordered mesoporous carbon spheres (ZnO/OMCS) is prepared from silica inverse opal by using phenolic resol precursor as carbon source. The prepared lightweight ZnO/OMCS nanocomposites exhibit 3D ordered carbon sphere array and highly dispersed ultrafine ZnO NPs on the mesoporous cell walls of carbon spheres. ZnO/OMCS-30 shows microwave absorbing ability with a strong absorption (- 39.3 dB at 10.4 GHz with a small thickness of 2 mm) and a broad effective absorption bandwidth (9.1 GHz). The outstanding microwave absorbing ability benefits to the well-dispersed ultrafine ZnO NPs and the 3D ordered mesoporous carbon spheres structure. This work opened up a unique way for developing lightweight and high-efficient carbon-based microwave absorbing materials.

Enhanced Microwave Absorption Properties of α-Fe₂O₃-Filled Ordered Mesoporous Carbon Nanorods.

Project description:A novel kind of α-Fe₂O₃-filled ordered mesoporous carbon nanorods has been synthesized by a facial hydrothermal method. Compared with dendritic α-Fe₂O₃ micropines, both a broader effective absorption range-from 10.5 GHz to 16.5 GHz with reflection loss (RL) less than -10 dB-and a thinner matching thickness of 2.0 mm have been achieved in the frequency range 2-18 GHz. The enhanced microwave absorption properties evaluated by the RL are attributed to the enhanced dielectric loss resulting from the intrinsic physical properties and special structures.

Solvent-Free Synthesis of Ultrafine Tungsten Carbide Nanoparticles-Decorated Carbon Nanosheets for Microwave Absorption.

Project description:Carbides/carbon composites are emerging as a new kind of binary dielectric systems with good microwave absorption performance. Herein, we obtain a series of tungsten carbide/carbon composites through a simple solvent-free strategy, where the solid mixture of dicyandiamide (DCA) and ammonium metatungstate (AM) is employed as the precursor. Ultrafine cubic WC1-x nanoparticles (3-4 nm) are in situ generated and uniformly dispersed on carbon nanosheets. This configuration overcomes some disadvantages of conventional carbides/carbon composites and is greatly helpful for electromagnetic dissipation. It is found that the weight ratio of DCA to AM can regulate chemical composition of these composites, while less impact on the average size of WC1-x nanoparticles. With the increase in carbon nanosheets, the relative complex permittivity and dielectric loss ability are constantly enhanced through conductive loss and polarization relaxation. The different dielectric properties endow these composites with distinguishable attenuation ability and impedance matching. When DCA/AM weight ratio is 6.0, the optimized composite can produce good microwave absorption performance, whose strongest reflection loss intensity reaches up to - 55.6 dB at 17.5 GHz and qualified absorption bandwidth covers 3.6-18.0 GHz by manipulating the thickness from 1.0 to 5.0 mm. Such a performance is superior to many conventional carbides/carbon composites.

Ultrafine FeNi3 Nanocrystals Embedded in 3D Honeycomb-Like Carbon Matrix for High-Performance Microwave Absorption.

Project description:The reasonable design of magnetic carbon-based composites is of great significance to improving the microwave absorption (MA) performance of the absorber. In this work, ultrafine FeNi3 nanocrystals (5-7 nm) embedded in a 3D honeycomb-like carbon matrix (FeNi3@C) were synthesized via a facile strategy that included a drying and carbonization process. Because of the soft magnetic property of the FeNi3 nanocrystals and their unique 3D honeycomb-like structure, the FeNi3@C composites exhibit excellent MA abilities. When the filler loading ratio of FeNi3@C/paraffin composites is only 30 wt%, the maximum reflection loss (RL) value is -40.6 dB at 10.04 GHz. Meanwhile, an ultra-wide absorption frequency bandwidth of 13.0 GHz (5.0-18.0 GHz over -10 dB) can be obtained in the thickness range of 2.0-4.5 mm, and this means that the absorber can consume 90% of the incident waves. It benefits from the dual loss components, multiple polarizations, and multiple reflections for improving MA performances of FeNi3@C composites. These observations suggest that the 3D honeycomb-like FeNi3@C composites have broad application prospects in exploring new MA materials that have a wide frequency bandwidth and strong absorption.

Facile synthesis of ordered mesoporous zinc alumina catalysts and their dehydrogenation behavior.

Project description:Ordered mesoporous Zn/Al2O3 materials with varying Zn content were simply prepared via an evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method. Dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutene was carried out on these materials; an isobutane conversion of 45.0% and isobutene yield of 39.0% were obtained over the 10%Zn/Al2O3 catalyst at 580 °C with 300 h-1 GHSV. The obtained materials with Zn content up to 10% possess large specific surface area and big pore volume and zinc species can be highly dispersed on the surface or incorporated into the framework. The acidity of these catalysts was changed by the introduction of Zn, the decrease of strong acid sites is conducive to the promotion of isobutene selectivity and the weak and medium acidic sites played an important role in isobutane conversion. In addition, these catalysts exhibited good catalytic stability, due to the effective inhibition of coke formation by the ordered mesoporous structure.

Ultrafine ferroferric oxide nanoparticles embedded into mesoporous carbon nanotubes for lithium ion batteries.

Project description:An effective one-pot hydrothermal method for in situ filling of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CNT, diameter of 20-40 nm, length of 30-100 ?m) with ultrafine ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (8-10 nm) has been demonstrated. The synthesized Fe3O4@CNT exhibited a mesoporous texture with a specific surface area of 109.4 m(2) g(-1). The loading of CNT, in terms of the weight ratio of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, can reach as high as 66.5 wt%. Compared to the conventional method of using a Al2O3 membrane as template to fill CNT with iron oxides nanoparticles, our strategy is facile, effective, low cost and easy to scale up to large scale production (~1.42 g per one-pot). When evaluated for lithium storage at 1.0 C (1 C = 928 mA g(-1)), the mesoporous Fe3O4@CNT can retain at 358.9 mAh g(-1) after 60 cycles. Even when cycled at high rate of 20 C, high capacity of 275.2 mAh g(-1) could still be achieved. At high rate (10 C) and long life cycling (500 cycles), the cells still exhibit a good capacity of 137.5 mAhg(-1).

Hollow Mesoporous Carbon Spheres for High Performance Symmetrical and Aqueous Zinc-Ion Hybrid Supercapacitor.

Project description:Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors are a promising energy storage device as they simultaneously combine the high capacity of batteries and the high power of supercapacitors. However, the practical application of Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors is hindered by insufficient energy density and poor rate performance. In this study, a symmetrical zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitor device was constructed with hollow mesoporous-carbon nanospheres as electrode materials, and aqueous ZnSO4 adopted as an electrolyte. Benefiting from the mesoporous structure and high specific area (800 m2/g) of the hollow carbon nanospheres, fast capacitor-type ion adsorption/de-adsorption on both the cathode and the anode can be achieved, as well as additional battery-type Zn/Zn2+ electroplating/stripping on the anode. This device thus demonstrates outstanding electrochemical performance, with high capacity (212.1 F/g at 0.2 A/g), a high energy density (75.4 Wh/kg at 0.16 kW/kg), a good rate performance (34.2 Wh/kg energy density maintained at a high power density of 16.0 kW/kg) and excellent cycling stability with 99.4% capacitance retention after 2,500 cycles at 2 A/g. The engineering of this new configuration provides an extremely safe, high-rate, and durable energy-storage device.

Rationally designed structure of mesoporous carbon hollow microspheres to acquire excellent microwave absorption performance.

Project description:In this study, we used a novel and facile hard-template etching method to manufacture mesoporous carbon hollow microspheres (MCHMs). We prove that the dielectric ability and microwave absorption of MCHMs can be adjusted by structural characteristics. When the average particle size of MCHMs is 452 nm, the paraffin composite material mixed with 10 wt% MCHMs can achieve a maximum reflection loss value of -51 dB with a thickness of 4.0 mm at 7.59 GHz. When the average particle size of MCHMs is 425 nm, the effective absorption bandwidth of the paraffin composite material mixed with 10 wt% MCHMs can achieve a broad bandwidth of 7.14 GHz with a thickness of 2.5 mm. Compared with other microwave absorbers, MCHMs possess high microwave absorption capacity and broad microwave absorption bandwidth with as low as a 10 wt% filler ratio. This excellent microwave absorption performance is due to the internal cavity and the mesoporous shell of MCHMs. By rationally designing the structure of MCHMs, excellent microwave absorption performance can be acquired. Meanwhile, this design concept based on a rational design of spherical structure can be extended to other spherical absorbers.

Microwave catalyzed carbothermic reduction of zinc oxide and zinc ferrite: effect of microwave energy on the reaction activation energy.

Project description:Recently, more attention has been paid to the use of microwave (MW) energy in accelerating chemical reactions. The effect of microwave energy on the reduction of zinc oxide and zinc ferrite was investigated. The results indicated that the temperatures required to initiate zinc oxide and zinc ferrite reduction under MW heating were 550 and 450 °C, respectively, while under conventional thermal (CT) heating, were 950 and 850 °C, respectively. Apparently, the MW reaction had a negative standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG) at a lower temperature (∼400 °C) when compared to the CT reaction. Additionally, the activation energy (E a) substantially decreased from 223.7 and 221.1 kJ mol-1 under CT heating to 64.8 and 32.9 kJ mol-1 under MW heating for Zn oxide and zinc ferrite, respectively. The enhancement in zinc reduction under MW energy was due to the rapid and bulk heating phenomena of MWs as well as the interactions occurring between the electromagnetic MW pattern and the molecules of heated materials.

Preparation of Cuprous Oxide Mesoporous Spheres with Different Pore Sizes for Non-Enzymatic Glucose Detection.

Project description:Mass transfer plays a significant role in a sensor's performance, because the substrate can be detected only when it contacts with the active catalytic surface. In this work, cuprous oxide mesoporous nanospheres (Cu₂O MPNS) with different pore size distributions are fabricated and applied as electrocatalysts for glucose detection. The small pore Cu₂O (SP-Cu₂O, mean pore size of 5.3 nm) and large pore Cu₂O (LP-Cu₂O, mean pore size of 16.4 nm) spheres are prepared by the template method and an etching treatment. The obtained two kinds of Cu₂O MPNS exhibit high porosity with a similar specific surface area of 61.2 and 63.4 (m²·g-1), respectively. The prepared Cu₂O MPNS are used to construct an electrochemical non-enzymatic glucose sensor. The results show that the LP-Cu₂O exhibits better performance than SP-Cu₂O, which illustrates that the internal diffusion takes a great impact on the performance of the sensor. The LP-Cu₂O modified electrode possesses a high and reproducible sensitivity of 2116.9 μA mM-1·cm-2 at the applied potential of 0.6 V with a wide detection range of 0.003-7.8 mM and a low detection limit of 0.42 μM.

Developing Conductive Highly Ordered Zinc Oxide Nanorods by Acetylacetonate-Assisted Growth.

Project description:Highly ordered vertically grown zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) were synthesized on ZnO-coated SiO2/Si substrate using zinc acetylacetonate hydrate as a precursor via a simple hydrothermal method at 85 °C. We used 0.05 M of ZnO solution to facilitate the growth of ZnO NRs and the immersion time was varied from 0.5 to 4 h. The atomic force microscopy revealed the surface roughness of ZnO seed layer used to grow the ZnO NRs. The morphology of vertically grown ZnO NRs was observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction examination and transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the structure of highly ordered ZnO NRs was crystalline with a strong (002) peak corresponded to ZnO hexagonal wurtzite structure. The growth of highly ordered ZnO NRs was favorable due to the continuous supply of Zn2+ ions and chelating agents properties obtained from the acetylacetonate-derived precursor during the synthesis. Two-point probe current-voltage measurement and UV-vis spectroscopy of the ZnO NRs indicated a resistivity and optical bandgap value of 0.44 ?.cm and 3.35 eV, respectively. The photoluminescence spectrum showed a broad peak centered at 623 nm in the visible region corresponded to the oxygen vacancies from the ZnO NRs. This study demonstrates that acetylacetonate-derived precursors can be used for the production of ZnO NRs-based devices with a potential application in biosensors.
