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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Preparation of Activated Carbon Doped with Graphene Oxide Porous Materials and Their High Gas Adsorption Performance.

Project description:It is still a great challenge to develop a new porous carbon adsorbent with excellent separation performance and to recover low-concentration CH4 in coal mine gas. This work provides a new idea for the study of CH4 adsorption on activated carbon (AC) composites. Composite materials with microporous structures were prepared from coconut-shell activated carbon (CAC) doped with graphene oxide (GO) by a chemical activation process in this paper. The expansion and dissociation of GO at high temperatures indirectly improve the specific surface area (SSA) of the composite. The interlayer aggregation is reduced, the activation effect is improved, and a new low-cost adsorption material is prepared. The SSA of CAC-50 is more than 3000 m2·g-1. A high SSA and a narrow pore size distribution lead to a higher total adsorption capacity of CH4. The breakthrough test also confirmed that AC/GOs had a better adsorption capacity for CH4. The separation performance of the CH4/N2 mixture is not good at room temperature, which is due to the influence of a high SSA and average pore size. As a low-cost and rich material, CAC has a wide range of application prospects. The composite is a potential material for recovering low-concentration CH4 from the coal mine, which is worthy of attention. In the future, the selectivity of AC/GOs to CH4 can be increased by loading functional groups or modification.

On the Possibility of Helium Adsorption in Nitrogen Doped Graphitic Materials.

Project description:The potassium salt of polyheptazine imide (K-PHI) is a promising photocatalyst for various chemical reactions. From powder X-ray diffraction data an idealized structural model of K-PHI has been derived. Using atomic coordinates of this model we defined an energetically optimized K-PHI structure, in which the K ions are present in the pore and between the PHI-planes. The distance between the anion framework and K+ resembles a frustrated Lewis pair-like structure, which we denote as frustrated Coulomb pair that results in an interesting adsorption environment for otherwise non-adsorbing, non-polar gas molecules. We demonstrate that even helium (He) gas molecules, which are known to have the lowest boiling point and the lowest intermolecular interactions, can be adsorbed in this polarized environment with an adsorption energy of - 4.6 kJ mol-1 per He atom. The interaction between He atoms and K-PHI is partially originating from charge transfer, as disclosed by our energy decomposition analysis based on absolutely localized molecular orbitals. Due to very small charge transfer interactions, He gas adsorption saturates at 8 at%, which however can be subject to further improvement by cation variation.

ZIF-Derived Nitrogen-Doped Porous Carbons for Xe Adsorption and Separation.

Project description:Currently, finding high capacity adsorbents with large selectivity to capture Xe is still a great challenge. In this work, nitrogen-doped porous carbons were prepared by programmable temperature carbonization of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and ZIF-8/xylitol composite precursors and the resultant samples are marked as Carbon-Z and Carbon-ZX, respectively. Further adsorption measurements indicate that ZIF-derived nitrogen-doped Carbon-ZX exhibits extremely high Xe capacity of 4.42 mmol g(-1) at 298 K and 1 bar, which is higher than almost all other pristine MOFs such as CuBTC, Ni/DOBDC, MOF-5 and Al-MIL-53, and even more than three times of the matrix ZIF-8 at similar conditions. Moreover, Carbon-ZX also shows the highest Xe/N2 selectivity about ~120, which is much larger than all other reported MOFs. These remarkable features illustrate that ZIF-derived nitrogen-doped porous carbon is an excellent adsorbent for Xe adsorption and separation at room temperature.

Novel Porous Nitrogen Doped Graphene/Carbon Black Composites as Efficient Oxygen Reduction Reaction Electrocatalyst for Power Generation in Microbial Fuel Cell.

Project description:To improve the power generation of a microbial fuel cell (MFC), a porous nitrogen-doped graphene/carbon black (NG/CB) composite as efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalyst was successfully synthesized by pyrolyzing graphene oxide (GO) encapsulated CB with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as a bridge. This concept-to-proof synthesis can be considered as a template-like method. Based on this method, one composite named as NG/CB-10 was acquired using the optimized GO-to-CB mass ratio of 10:1. Electrochemical tests demonstrate that NG/CB-10 can catalyze ORR in neutral-pH medium through a four-electron pathway with positively shifted the onset potential, the enhanced current density and reduced charge transfer resistance. CB addition also prolongs the stability of NG/CB-10. The enhancement in electrochemical performance of NG/CB-10 was attributed to the enlarged surface area, abundant mesopores and high content of pyridinic nitrogen. The maximum power density of MFC equipping NG/CB-10 as cathode electrocatalyst reached 936 mW·m-2, which was 26% higher than that of NG and equal to that of platinum/carbon. The cost of NG/CB-10 was reduced by 25% compared with that of NG. This work provides a novel method to synthesize promising ORR electrocatalyst for MFC in the future.

High Specific Capacitance Electrode Material for Supercapacitors Based on Resin-Derived Nitrogen-Doped Porous Carbons.

Project description:Carbon-based materials, as electrodes for supercapacitors, have attracted tremendous attention. Therefore, nitrogen-doped porous carbons (NPCs) were prepared through a facile carbonization/activation strategy by treating different mass ratios of melamine-urea-formaldehyde resin and KOH. It is clearly demonstrated that because of the introduction of KOH, the resulting NPCs were shown to have increased specific surface area and a rich pore structure, and the best sample possessed a large specific surface area of 2248 m2 g-1 and high N content, which contributed to the good electrochemical performance for supercapacitors. Accordingly, a three-electrode system assembles NPCs as an electrode using aqueous KOH solution; the specific capacitance was 341 F g-1 under the current density of 1 A g-1 and retained a specific capacitance of almost 92% after 5000 cycles. The maximum energy output for a symmetrical solid-state supercapacitor with NPCs as the electrode material was 9.60 W h kg-1 at 1 A g-1. NPCs have promising applications on high-performance supercapacitors and other energy-storage devices.

Carbothermal Synthesis of Nitrogen-Doped Graphene Composites for Energy Conversion and Storage Devices.

Project description:Metal oxides and carbonaceous composites are both promising materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices, such as secondary rechargeable batteries, fuel cells and electrochemical capacitors. In this study, Fe3O4 nanoparticles wrapped in nitrogen-doped (N-doped) graphene nanosheets (Fe3O4@G) were fabricated by a facile one-step carbothermal reduction method derived from Fe2O3 and liquid-polyacrylonitrile (LPAN). The unique two-dimensional structure of N-doped graphene nanosheets, can not only accommodate the volume changes during lithium intercalation/extraction processes and suppress the particles aggregation but also act as an electronically conductive matrix to improve the electrochemical performance of Fe3O4 anode, especially the rate capability. What's more, by etching Fe3O4@G to remove the iron-based oxide template, porous N-doped graphene composites (NGCs) were prepared and presented abundant pore structure with high specific surface area, delivering a specific capacitance of 172 F·g-1 at 0.5 A·g-1. In this way, Fe2O3 was both template and activator to adjust the pore size of graphene. And the effect of specific surface area and pore size tuned by the Fe2O3 activator were also revealed.

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.
