Solution-processable porous graphitic carbon from bottom-up synthesis and low-temperature graphitization.

ABSTRACT: It is urgently desired yet challenging to synthesize porous graphitic carbon (PGC) in a bottom-up manner while circumventing the need for high-temperature pyrolysis. Here we present an effective and scalable strategy to synthesize PGC through acid-mediated aldol triple condensation followed by low-temperature graphitization. The deliberate structural design enables its graphitization in situ in solution and at low pyrolysis temperature. The resulting material features ultramicroporosity characterized by a sharp pore size distribution. In addition, the pristine homogeneous composition of the reaction mixture allows for solution-processability of the material for further characterization and applications. Thin films of this PGC exhibit several orders of magnitude higher electrical conductivity compared to analogous control materials that are carbonized at the same temperatures. The integration of low-temperature graphitization and solution-processability not only allows for an energy-efficient method for the production and fabrication of PGC, but also paves the way for its wider employment in applications such as electrocatalysis, sensing, and energy storage.

Low-Temperature Synthesis of Solution Processable Carbon Nitride Polymers.

Project description:Carbon nitride materials require high temperatures (>500 °C) for their preparation, which entails substantial energy consumption. Furthermore, the high reaction temperature limits the materials' processability and the control over their elemental composition. Therefore, alternative synthetic pathways that operate under milder conditions are still very much sought after. In this work, we prepared semiconductive carbon nitride (CN) polymers at low temperatures (300 °C) by carrying out the thermal condensation of triaminopyrimidine and acetoguanamine under a N2 atmosphere. These molecules are isomers: they display the same chemical formula but a different spatial distribution of their elements. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiments and electrochemical and photophysical characterization confirm that the initial spatial organization strongly determines the chemical composition and electronic structure of the materials, which, thanks to the preservation of functional groups in their surface, display excellent processability in liquid media.

In situ activation graphitization to fabricate hierarchical porous graphitic carbon for supercapacitor.

Project description:In situ activation-graphitization method based on the atomically dispersed K and Fe in organic salts is developed to synthesize hierarchical porous graphitic carbon by directly pyrolysis potassium citrate and iron citrate. Moreover, (NH4)2C2O4 is also employed as both N dopant and porogen to open up internal structure and regulate pore structure. The inside-out activation leads to the homogeneous reaction and interconnected hierarchical porous structure with few dead pores. Accompanied by high specific surface area, appropriate pore distribution, good conductivity, and N/O functional groups, the sample exhibits high capacitance of 322.6 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, good rate capability, and excellent cycling stability with 101.5% capacitance retention after 15,000 cycles. The supercapacitor shows an energy density of 21.3 W h kg-1 at 456.7 W kg-1 in 1 M Na2SO4. Easy synthesis, cost-effective, and environmentally benign, the work provides a promising strategy to produce hierarchical porous graphitic carbon applied in energy storage.

Higher Temperature Porous Graphitic Carbon Separations Differentially Impact Distinct Glycopeptide Classes

Project description:Mass spectrometry-based discovery glycoproteomics is highly dependent on the use of chromatography paradigms amenable to analyte retention separation. When compared against established stationary phases such as reversed phase and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography, reports utilizing porous graphitic carbon (PGC) have detailed its numerous advantages. Recent efforts have detailed the utility in porous graphitic carbon in high throughput glycoproteomics, principally through enhanced profiling depth and liquid phase resolution at higher column temperatures. However, increasing column temperature was shown to impart disparaging effects in glycopeptide identification. Herein we further elucidate this trend, describing qualitative and quantitative effects of increased column temperature on glycopeptide identification rates, signal intensity, resolution, and spectral count linear response. Through analysis of enriched bovine and human glycopeptides, species with high mannose and sialylated glycans were shown to most significantly benefit and suffer from high column temperatures, respectively. These results provide insight as to how porous graphitic carbon separations may be appropriately leveraged for glycopeptide identification while raising concerns over quantitative and pseudo-quantitative label free comparisons as temperature changes.

Low-Temperature and Solution-Processable Zinc Oxide Transistors for Transparent Electronics.

Project description:Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) have many promising applications in the areas of logic circuits, displays, ultraviolet detectors, and biosensors due to their high performances, facile fabrication processing, and low cost. The solution method is an important technique for low-cost and large fabrication of oxide semiconductor TFTs. However, a key challenge of solution-processable ZnO TFTs is the relatively high processing temperature (≥500 °C) for achieving high carrier mobility. Here, facile, low-cost, and solution-processable ZnO TFTs were fabricated under the annealing temperature of ≤300 °C. Dense and polycrystalline ZnO films were deposited by the spin-coating method. The ZnO TFTs showed the maximum electron mobility of 11 cm2/V s and a high on/off ratio of >107 when the ZnO thin films were annealed at 300 °C. The mobility was extremely high among solution-processable undoped ZnO TFTs reported previously, even better than some high-cost indium-doped ZnO TFTs fabricated at low temperature. Furthermore, it is found that the mechanism of oxygen vacancies dominates the electron transport in ZnO thin film and interface behaviors of ZnO thin film and SiO2 gate insulator, and then dominates the performances of devices.

Low-Temperature Processable Degradable Polyesters.

Project description:Block copolymers composed of a low-T(g) and high-T(g) block, with suitable pressure miscibility characteristics, can be formed at low-temperature through the application of pressure. Aliphatic block copolyesters composed of poly(ε-caprolactone) derivatives and poly(L-lactide) show room temperature processability under hydraulic pressure of 34.5 MPa without polymer degradation. Mechanism of the pressure-induced flow is investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering. A scattering associated with a lamellae structure observed at ambient conditions decreases with elevating hydrostatic pressures, indicating pressure-induced phase mixing. Traces of the pressure-induced phase transition are studied by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Tensile test of the block copolymers reveals that the mechanical properties can be readily controlled by changing composition, molecular weight, and chemical structure of the blocks. Among them, the hard segment PLLA fraction is the key factor to characterize the properties. Young's modulus of the block copolyesters is similar to that of polyethylene.

From 1D to 3D Graphitic Carbon Nitride (Melon): A Bottom-Up Route via Crystalline Microporous Templates.

Project description:Herein, we present a novel bottom-up preparation route for heptazine-based polymers (melon), also known as graphitic carbon nitride. The growth characteristics of isolated 1D melon strings in microporous templates are presented and studied in detail. Removal of the microporous silicate template via etching is accompanied by the self-assembly of a 1D melon to stacked 3D structures. The advantages and limitations of the bottom-up approach are shown by using microporous templates with different pore sizes (ETS-10, ZSM-5, and zeolite Y). In accordance with the molecular size of the heptazine units (0.67 nm), a 1D melon can be deposited in ETS-10 with a pore width of about 0.78 nm, whereas its formation in the smaller 0.47 nm pores of ZSM-5 is sterically impeded. The self-assembly of isolated 1D melon to stacked 3D structures offers a novel experimental perspective to the controversial debate on the polymerization degree in 2D sheets of graphitic carbon nitride as micropore sizes below 1 nm confine the condensation degree of heptazine to isolated 1D strands at a molecular level. The growth characteristics and structural features were investigated by X-ray diffraction, N2 physisorption, scanning transmission electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, 13C CP-NMR spectroscopy, and attenuated total reflection-infrared spectroscopy.

Cobalt monoxide-doped porous graphitic carbon microspheres for supercapacitor application.

Project description:A novel design and facile synthesis process for carbon based hybrid materials, i.e., cobalt monoxide (CoO)-doped graphitic porous carbon microspheres (Co-GPCMs), have been developed. With the synthesis strategy, the mixture of cobalt gluconate, α-cyclodextrin and poly (ethylene oxide)₁₀₆-poly (propylene oxide)₇₀-poly (ethylene oxide)₁₀₆ is treated hydrothermally, followed by pyrolysis in argon. The resultant Co-GPCMs exhibits a porous carbon matrix with localized graphitic structure while CoO nanodots are embedded in the carbon frame. Thus, the Co-GPCMs effectively combine the electric double-layer capacitance and pseudo-capacitance when used as the electrode in supercapacitor, which lead to a higher operation voltage (1.6 V) and give rise to a significantly higher energy density. This study provides a new research strategy for electrode materials in high energy density supercapacitors.

Porous Carbon Networks Derived From Graphitic Carbon Nitride for Efficient Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:Great efforts have been dedicated to finding economic and efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for fuel cell technology. Among various catalysts, N-doped carbon-based nanomaterials have attracted much attention due to low-cost, noble metal free, and good durability. Herein, we developed a facile and economic strategy to prepare nitrogen-doped carbon networks for efficient ORR application. The g-C3N4 is used as the template and N source, and dopamine is used as the carbon source. By simple hydrothermal treatment and sintering, N-doped carbon network structures with high specific surface area, effective ORR activity, and superior durability could be acquired. The present strategy is free of involving generally multistep, poisonous reagents, and complication of removing template for fabrication of 3D carbon structures.

Boric Acid as A Low-Temperature Graphitization Aid and Its Impact on Structure and Properties of Cellulose-Based Carbon Fibers.

Project description:In the present paper, a scalable, economically feasible, and continuous process for making cellulose-based carbon fibers (CFs) is described encompassing precursor spinning, precursor additivation, thermal stabilization, and carbonization. By the use of boric acid (BA) as an additive, the main drawback of cellulose-based CFs, i.e., the low carbon yield, is overcome while maintaining a high level of mechanical properties. This is demonstrated by a systematic comparison between CFs obtained from a BA-doped and an un-doped cellulose precursor within a temperature range for carbonization between 1000 and 2000 °C. The changes in chemical composition (via elemental analysis) and physical structure (via X-ray scattering) as well as the mechanical and electrical properties of the resulting CFs were investigated. It turned out that, in contrast to current opinion, the catalytic effect of boron in the formation of graphite-like structures sets in already at 1000 °C. It becomes more and more effective with increasing temperature. The catalytic effect of boron significantly affects crystallite sizes (La, Lc), lattice plane spacings (d002), and orientation of the crystallites. Using BA, the carbon yield increased by 71%, Young's modulus by 27%, and conductivity by 168%, reaching 135,000 S/m. At the same time, a moderate decrease in tensile strength by 25% and an increase in density of 14% are observed.

Retention and effective diffusion of model metabolites on porous graphitic carbon.

Project description:The study of metabolites in biological samples is of high interest for a wide range of biological and pharmaceutical applications. Reversed phase liquid chromatography is a common technique used for the separation of metabolites, but it provides little retention for polar metabolites. An alternative to C18 bonded phases, porous graphitic carbon has the ability to provide significant retention for both non-polar and polar analytes. The goal of this work is to study the retention and effective diffusion properties of porous graphitic carbon, to see if it is suitable for the wide injection bands and long run times associated with long, packed capillary-scale separations. The retention of a set of standard metabolites was studied for both stationary phases over a wide range of mobile phase conditions. This data showed that porous graphitic carbon benefits from significantly increased retention (often >100 fold) under initial gradient conditions for these metabolites, suggesting much improved ability to focus a wide injection band at the column inlet. The effective diffusion properties of these columns were studied using peak-parking experiments with the standard metabolites under a wide range of retention conditions. Under the high retention conditions, which can be associated with retention after injection loading for gradient separations, Deff/Dm?0.1 for both the C18-bonded and porous graphitic carbon columns. As C18 bonded particles are widely, and successfully utilized for long gradient separations without issue of increasing peak width from longitudinal diffusion, this suggests that porous graphitic carbon should be amenable for long runtime gradient separations as well.
