MWCNT Decorated Rich N-Doped Porous Carbon with Tunable Porosity for CO₂ Capture.

ABSTRACT: Designing of porous carbon system for CO₂ uptake has attracted a plenty of interest due to the ever-increasing concerns about climate change and global warming. Herein, a novel N rich porous carbon is prepared by in-situ chemical oxidation polyaniline (PANI) on a surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and then activated with KOH. The porosity of such carbon materials can be tuned by rational introduction of MWCNTs, adjusting the amount of KOH, and controlling the pyrolysis temperature. The obtained M/P-0.1-600-2 adsorbent possesses a high surface area of 1017 m² g^-1 and a high N content of 3.11 at%. Such M/P-0.1-600-2 adsorbent delivers an enhanced CO₂ capture capability of 2.63 mmol g^-1 at 298.15 K and five bars, which is 14 times higher than that of pristine MWCNTs (0.18 mmol g^-1). In addition, such M/P-0.1-600-2 adsorbent performs with a good stability, with almost no decay in a successive five adsorption-desorption cycles.

Synthesis of Porous Organic Polymers with Tunable Amine Loadings for CO2 Capture: Balanced Physisorption and Chemisorption.

Project description:The cross-coupling reaction of 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene with terephthaloyl chloride gives a novel ynone-linked porous organic polymer. Tethering alkyl amine species on the polymer induces chemisorption of CO2 as revealed by the studies of ex situ infrared spectroscopy. By tuning the amine loading content on the polymer, relatively high CO2 adsorption capacities, high CO2-over-N2 selectivity, and moderate isosteric heat (Qst) of adsorption of CO2 can be achieved. Such amine-modified polymers with balanced physisorption and chemisorption of CO2 are ideal sorbents for post-combustion capture of CO2 offering both high separation and high energy efficiencies.

Project description:In this work, we present a facile and low-cost approach to synthesize heteroatom doped porous carbon via hydrothermal treatment of stem bark of broussonetia papyrifera (BP) as the biomass precursor in diluted sulfuric acid, and following thermal activation by KOH at 800 °C. The morphology, structure and textural property of the prepared porous carbon (PC) are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, N2 sorption isotherms, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Such porous carbon shows outstanding capacitive performances of 416 F g(-1) and 300 F g(-1) in three and two-electrode systems, respectively. As a solid-state adsorbent, the obtained porous carbon has an excellent CO2 adsorption capacity at ambient pressures of up to 6.71 and 4.45 mmol g(-1) at 0 and 25 °C, respectively.

High-Selective CO2 Capture in Amine-Decorated Al-MOFs

Project description:Amine-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) material is a promising CO2 captor in the post-combustion capture process owing to its large CO2 working capacity as well as high CO2 selectivity and easy regeneration. In this study, an ethylenediamine (ED)-decorated Al-based MOFs (named ED@MOF-520) with a high specific area and permanent porosity are prepared and evaluated to study the adsorption and separation of CO2 from N2. The results show that ED@MOF-520 adsorbent displays a superior CO2 capture performance with a CO2/N2 separation factor of 50 at 273 K, 185% times increase in the CO2/N2 separation efficiency in comparison with blank MOF-520. Furthermore, ED@MOF-520 exhibits a moderate-strength interaction with 29 kJ mol−1 adsorption heat for CO2 uptake, which not only meets the requirement of CO2 adsorption but also has good cycle stability. This work provides a promising adsorbent with a high CO2/N2 separation factor to deal with carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

Nitrogen-Doped Porous Carbon Materials Derived from Graphene Oxide/Melamine Resin Composites for CO2 Adsorption.

Project description:CO2 adsorption in porous carbon materials has attracted great interests for alleviating emission of post-combustion CO2. In this work, a novel nitrogen-doped porous carbon material was fabricated by carbonizing the precursor of melamine-resorcinol-formaldehyde resin/graphene oxide (MR/GO) composites with KOH as the activation agent. Detailed characterization results revealed that the fabricated MR(0.25)/GO-500 porous carbon (0.25 represented the amount of GO added in wt.% and 500 denoted activation temperature in °C) had well-defined pore size distribution, high specific surface area (1264 m2·g-1) and high nitrogen content (6.92 wt.%), which was mainly composed of the pyridinic-N and pyrrolic-N species. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that the fabricated MR(0.25)/GO-500 porous carbon delivered excellent CO2 adsorption ability of 5.21 mmol·g-1 at 298.15 K and 500 kPa, and such porous carbon also exhibited fast adsorption kinetics, high selectivity of CO2/N2 and good recyclability. With the inherent microstructure features of high surface area and abundant N adsorption sites species, the MR/GO-derived porous carbon materials offer a potentially promising adsorbent for practical CO2 capture.

Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Dots Induced Enhancement in CO2 Sensing Response From ZnO-Porous Silicon Hybrid Structure.

Project description:In this study, we report a simple method for the fabrication of carbon dots sensitized zinc oxide-porous silicon (ZnO-pSi) hybrid structures for carbon dioxide (CO2) sensing. A micro-/nanostructured layer of ZnO is formed over electrochemically prepared pSi substrates using a simple chemical precipitation method. The hybrid structure was structurally and optically characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, fluorescence, and cathodoluminescence after the incorporation of hydrothermally prepared nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) by drop casting. With respect to the control sample, although all the devices show an enhancement in the sensing response in the presence of NCDs, the optimal concentration shows an increase of ~37% at an operating temperature of 200°C and a response time <30 s. The increment in the CO2-sensing response, upon the addition of NCDs, is attributed to an increase in CO2-oxygen species reactions on the ZnO surface due to an increment in the free electron density at the metal-semiconductor-type junction of NCD clusters and ZnO micro-/nanorods. A significant increase in the sensing response (~24%) at low operating temperature (100°C) opens the possibility of developing very large-scale integrable (VLSI), low operational cost gas sensors with easy fabrication methods and low-cost materials.

Selective electroreduction of CO2 to acetone by single copper atoms anchored on N-doped porous carbon.

Project description:Efficient electroreduction of CO2 to multi-carbon products is a challenging reaction because of the high energy barriers for CO2 activation and C-C coupling, which can be tuned by designing the metal centers and coordination environments of catalysts. Here, we design single atom copper encapsulated on N-doped porous carbon (Cu-SA/NPC) catalysts for reducing CO2 to multi-carbon products. Acetone is identified as the major product with a Faradaic efficiency of 36.7% and a production rate of 336.1??g?h-1. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the coordination of Cu with four pyrrole-N atoms is the main active site and reduces the reaction free energies required for CO2 activation and C-C coupling. The energetically favorable pathways for CH3COCH3 production from CO2 reduction are proposed and the origin of selective acetone formation on Cu-SA/NPC is clarified. This work provides insight into the rational design of efficient electrocatalysts for reducing CO2 to multi-carbon products.

The optimal sample possesses a large surface area and a hierarchical porous structure, and exhibits good CO2 adsorption capacities of 2.78 mmol g-1 and 3.72 mmol g-1 at 25 °C and 0 °C, respectively, under 1 bar. Additionally, this sample also displays a moderate CO2/N2 selectivity, an appropriate CO2 isosteric heat of adsorption and a stable cyclic ability. These multiple advantages combined with the low-cost of the raw material demonstrate that this sample is an excellent candidate as an adsorbent for CO2 capture.

Porous carbon nanoparticle networks with tunable absorbability.

Project description:Porous carbon materials with high specific surface areas and superhydrophobicity have attracted much research interest due to their potential application in the areas of water filtration, water/oil separation, and oil-spill cleanup. Most reported superhydrophobic porous carbon materials are fabricated by complex processes involving the use of catalysts and high temperatures but with low throughput. Here, we present a facile single-step method for fabricating porous carbon nanoparticle (CNP) networks with selective absorbability for water and oils via the glow discharge of hydrocarbon plasma without a catalyst at room temperature. Porous CNP networks were grown by the continuous deposition of CNPs at a relatively high deposition pressure. By varying the fluorine content, the porous CNP networks exhibited tunable repellence against liquids with various degrees of surface tension. These porous CNP networks could be applied for the separation of not only water/oil mixtures but also mixtures of liquids with different surface tension levels.

Lignin-Based Porous Supraparticles for Carbon Capture.

Project description:Multiscale carbon supraparticles (SPs) are synthesized by soft-templating lignin nano- and microbeads bound with cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). The interparticle connectivity and nanoscale network in the SPs are studied after oxidative thermostabilization of the lignin/CNF constructs. The carbon SPs are formed by controlled sintering during carbonization and develop high mechanical strength (58 N·mm-3) and surface area (1152 m2·g-1). Given their features, the carbon SPs offer hierarchical access to adsorption sites that are well suited for CO2 capture (77 mg CO2·g-1), while presenting a relatively low pressure drop (∼33 kPa·m-1 calculated for a packed fixed-bed column). The introduced lignin-derived SPs address the limitations associated with mass transport (diffusion of adsorbates within channels) and kinetics of systems that are otherwise based on nanoparticles. Moreover, the carbon SPs do not require doping with heteroatoms (as tested for N) for effective CO2 uptake (at 1 bar CO2 and 40 °C) and are suitable for regeneration, following multiple adsorption/desorption cycles. Overall, we demonstrate porous SP carbon systems of low cost (precursor, fabrication, and processing) and superior activity (gas sorption and capture).

Steering CO2 electroreduction toward ethanol production by a surface-bound Ru polypyridyl carbene catalyst on N-doped porous carbon.

Project description:Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to multicarbon products is a significant challenge, especially for molecular complexes. We report here CO2 reduction to multicarbon products based on a Ru(II) polypyridyl carbene complex that is immobilized on an N-doped porous carbon (RuPC/NPC) electrode. The catalyst utilizes the synergistic effects of the Ru(II) polypyridyl carbene complex and the NPC interface to steer CO2 reduction toward C2 production at low overpotentials. In 0.5 M KHCO3/CO2 aqueous solutions, Faradaic efficiencies of 31.0 to 38.4% have been obtained for C2 production at -0.87 to -1.07 V (vs. normal hydrogen electrode) with 21.0 to 27.5% for ethanol and 7.1 to 12.5% for acetate. Syngas is also produced with adjustable H2/CO mole ratios of 2.0 to 2.9. The RuPC/NPC electrocatalyst maintains its activity during 3-h CO2-reduction periods.
