Runaway Carbon Dioxide Conversion Leads to Enhanced Uptake in a Nanohybrid Form of Porous Magnesium Borohydride.

ABSTRACT: Leveraging molecular-level controls to enhance CO₂ capture in solid-state materials has received tremendous attention in recent years. Here, a new class of hybrid nanomaterials constructed from intrinsically porous γ-Mg(BH₄ )₂ nanocrystals and reduced graphene oxide (MBHg) is described. These nanomaterials exhibit kinetically controlled, irreversible CO₂ uptake profiles with high uptake capacities (>19.9 mmol g^-1 ) at low partial pressures and temperatures between 40 and 100 °C. Systematic experiments and first-principles calculations reveal the mechanism of reaction between CO₂ and MBHg and unveil the role of chemically activated, metastable (BH₃ -HCOO)^- centers that display more thermodynamically favorable reaction and potentially faster reaction kinetics than the parent BH₄ ^- centers. Overall, it is demonstrated that size reduction to the nanoscale regime and the generation of reactive, metastable intermediates improve the CO₂ uptake properties in metal borohydride nanomaterials.

Dynamics of porous and amorphous magnesium borohydride to understand solid state Mg-ion-conductors.

Project description:Rechargeable solid-state magnesium batteries are considered for high energy density storage and usage in mobile applications as well as to store energy from intermittent energy sources, triggering intense research for suitable electrode and electrolyte materials. Recently, magnesium borohydride, Mg(BH4)2, was found to be an effective precursor for solid-state Mg-ion conductors. During the mechanochemical synthesis of these Mg-ion conductors, amorphous Mg(BH4)2 is typically formed and it was postulated that this amorphous phase promotes the conductivity. Here, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of as-received ?-Mg(BH4)2 and ball milled, amorphous Mg(BH4)2 confirmed that the conductivity of the latter is ~2 orders of magnitude higher than in as-received ?-Mg(BH4)2 at 353?K. Pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of the local structure shows striking similarities up to a length scale of 5.1?Å, suggesting similar conduction pathways in both the crystalline and amorphous sample. Up to 12.27?Å the PDF indicates that a 3D net of interpenetrating channels might still be present in the amorphous phase although less ordered compared to the as-received ?-phase. However, quasi elastic neutron scattering experiments (QENS) were used to study the rotational mobility of the [BH4] units, revealing a much larger fraction of activated [BH4] rotations in amorphous Mg(BH4)2. These findings suggest that the conduction process in amorphous Mg(BH4)2 is supported by stronger rotational mobility, which is proposed to be the so-called "paddle-wheel" mechanism.

Magnesium Ethylenediamine Borohydride as Solid-State Electrolyte for Magnesium Batteries.

Project description:Solid-state magnesium ion conductors with exceptionally high ionic conductivity at low temperatures, 5 × 10-8 Scm-1 at 30 °C and 6 × 10-5 Scm-1 at 70 °C, are prepared by mechanochemical reaction of magnesium borohydride and ethylenediamine. The coordination complexes are crystalline, support cycling in a potential window of 1.2 V, and allow magnesium plating/stripping. While the electrochemical stability, limited by the ethylenediamine ligand, must be improved to reach competitive energy densities, our results demonstrate that partially chelated Mg2+ complexes represent a promising platform for the development of an all-solid-state magnesium battery.

Aqueous sodium borohydride induced thermally stable porous zirconium oxide for quick removal of lead ions.

Project description:Aqueous sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is well known for its reducing property and well-established for the development of metal nanoparticles through reduction method. In contrary, this research paper discloses the importance of aqueous NaBH4 as a precipitating agent towards development of porous zirconium oxide. The boron species present in aqueous NaBH4 play an active role during gelation as well as phase separated out in the form of boron complex during precipitation, which helps to form boron free zirconium hydroxide [Zr(OH)4] in the as-synthesized condition. Evolved in-situ hydrogen (H2) gas-bubbles also play an important role to develop as-synthesized loose zirconium hydroxide and the presence of intra-particle voids in the loose zirconium hydroxide help to develop porous zirconium oxide during calcination process. Without any surface modification, this porous zirconium oxide quickly adsorbs almost hundred percentages of toxic lead ions from water solution within 15 minutes at normal pH condition. Adsorption kinetic models suggest that the adsorption process was surface reaction controlled chemisorption. Quick adsorption was governed by surface diffusion process and the adsorption kinetic was limited by pore diffusion. Five cycles of adsorption-desorption result suggests that the porous zirconium oxide can be reused efficiently for removal of Pb (II) ions from aqueous solution.

Cooperative redox activation for carbon dioxide conversion.

Project description:A longstanding challenge in production chemistry is the development of catalytic methods for the transformation of carbon dioxide into useful chemicals. Silane and borane promoted reductions can be fined-tuned to provide a number of C1-building blocks under mild conditions, but these approaches are limited because of the production of stoichiometric waste compounds. Here we report on the conversion of CO2 with diaryldisilanes, which through cooperative redox activation generate carbon monoxide and a diaryldisiloxane that actively participate in a palladium-catalysed carbonylative Hiyama-Denmark coupling for the synthesis of an array of pharmaceutically relevant diarylketones. Thus the disilane reagent not only serves as the oxygen abstracting agent from CO2, but the silicon-containing 'waste', produced through oxygen insertion into the Si-Si bond, participates as a reagent for the transmetalation step in the carbonylative coupling. Hence this concept of cooperative redox activation opens up for new avenues in the conversion of CO2.

Carboxymethylcellulose Mediates the Transport of Carbon Nanotube-Magnetite Nanohybrid Aggregates in Water-Saturated Porous Media.

Project description:Carbon-metal oxide nanohybrids (NHs) are increasingly recognized as the next-generation, promising group of nanomaterials for solving emerging environmental issues and challenges. This research, for the first time, systematically explored the transport and retention of carbon nanotube-magnetite (CNT-Fe3O4) NH aggregates in water-saturated porous media under environmentally relevant conditions. A macromolecule modifier, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), was employed to stabilize the NHs. Our results show that transport of the magnetic CNT-Fe3O4 NHs was lower than that of nonmagnetic CNT due to larger hydrodynamic sizes of NHs (induced by magnetic attraction) and size-dependent retention in porous media. Classical Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory can explain the mobility of NHs under varying experimental conditions. However, in contrast with colloid filtration theory, a novel transport feature-an initial lower and a following sharp-higher peaks occurred frequently in the NHs' breakthrough curves. The magnitude and location of both transport peaks varied with different experimental conditions, due to the interplay between variability of fluid viscosity and size-selective retention of the NHs. Promisingly, the estimated maximum transport distance of NHs ranged between ?0.38 and 46 m, supporting the feasibility of employing the magnetically recyclable CNT-Fe3O4 NHs for in situ nanoremediation of contaminated soil, aquifer, and groundwater.

Cyanobacterial conversion of carbon dioxide to 2,3-butanediol.

Project description:Conversion of CO(2) for the synthesis of chemicals by photosynthetic organisms is an attractive target for establishing independence from fossil reserves. However, synthetic pathway construction in cyanobacteria is still in its infancy compared with model fermentative organisms. Here we systematically developed the 2,3-butanediol (23BD) biosynthetic pathway in Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 as a model system to establish design methods for efficient exogenous chemical production in cyanobacteria. We identified 23BD as a target chemical with low host toxicity, and designed an oxygen-insensitive, cofactor-matched biosynthetic pathway coupled with irreversible enzymatic steps to create a driving force toward the target. Production of 23BD from CO(2) reached 2.38 g/L, which is a significant increase for chemical production from exogenous pathways in cyanobacteria. This work demonstrates that developing strong design methods can continue to increase chemical production in cyanobacteria.

Ionic Liquids Catalysis for Carbon Dioxide Conversion With Nucleophiles.

Project description:Carbon dioxide, as a promising C1 synthon, has attracted great interest in organic synthesis. Due to the thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of CO2, developing efficient strategies for CO2 activation and subsequent conversion is very crucial. In this context, Ionic liquids (ILs) show great potential for capturing and activating CO2 owing to their unique structures and properties, making them become ideal alternatives to volatile organic solvents and/or catalysts for CO2 transformation. This minireview aims at summarizing ILs-promoted reactions of CO2 with N-nucleophiles (primary amines)/O-nucleophiles (primary alcohols, water). Two catalytic systems i.e., metal/ILs binary systems such as Cu/ILs systems and Ag/ILs systems as well as single ILs systems including anion-functionalized ILs and bifunctionalized ILs have been developed for CO2 catalytic conversion, for instance, carboxylative cyclization of nucleophiles e.g., propargylic alcohols, amines, 2-aminobenzonitriles and o-aminobenzenethiol, and formylation of amines or 2-aminothiophenols with hydrosilanes to afford various value-added chemicals e.g., cyclic carbamates, unsymmetrical organic carbonates, ?-hydroxyl ketones, and benzimidazolones. In a word, IL could provide a powerful tool for efficient CO2 utilization.

Fungus-Based MnO/Porous Carbon Nanohybrid as Efficient Laccase Mimic for Oxygen Reduction Catalysis and Hydroquinone Detection

Project description:Developing efficient laccase-mimicking nanozymes via a facile and sustainable strategy is intriguing in environmental sensing and fuel cells. In our work, a MnO/porous carbon (MnO/PC) nanohybrid based on fungus was synthesized via a facile carbonization route. The nanohybrid was found to possess excellent laccase-mimicking activity using 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) as the substrate. Compared with the natural laccase and reported nanozymes, the MnO/PC nanozyme had much lower Km value. Furthermore, the electrochemical results show that the MnO/PC nanozyme had high electrocatalytic activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) when it was modified on the electrode. The hybrid nanozyme could catalyze the four-electron ORR, similar to natural laccase. Moreover, hydroquinone (HQ) induced the reduction of oxABTS and caused the green color to fade, which provided colorimetric detection of HQ. A desirable linear relationship (0–50 μM) and detection limit (0.5 μM) were obtained. Our work opens a simple and sustainable avenue to develop a carbon–metal hybrid nanozyme in environment and energy applications.
