Titanium Hydride Nanoplates Enable 5 wt% of Reversible Hydrogen Storage by Sodium Alanate below 80°C.

ABSTRACT: Sodium alanate (NaAlH₄) with 5.6 wt% of hydrogen capacity suffers seriously from the sluggish kinetics for reversible hydrogen storage. Ti-based dopants such as TiCl₄, TiCl₃, TiF₃, and TiO₂ are prominent in enhancing the dehydrogenation kinetics and hence reducing the operation temperature. The tradeoff, however, is a considerable decrease of the reversible hydrogen capacity, which largely lowers the practical value of NaAlH₄. Here, we successfully synthesized a new Ti-dopant, i.e., TiH₂ as nanoplates with ~50 nm in lateral size and ~15 nm in thickness by an ultrasound-driven metathesis reaction between TiCl₄ and LiH in THF with graphene as supports (denoted as NP-TiH₂@G). Doping of 7 wt% NP-TiH₂@G enables a full dehydrogenation of NaAlH₄ at 80°C and rehydrogenation at 30°C under 100 atm H₂ with a reversible hydrogen capacity of 5 wt%, superior to all literature results reported so far. This indicates that nanostructured TiH₂ is much more effective than Ti-dopants in improving the hydrogen storage performance of NaAlH₄. Our finding not only pushes the practical application of NaAlH₄ forward greatly but also opens up new opportunities to tailor the kinetics with the minimal capacity loss.

Atomic reconstruction for realizing stable solar-driven reversible hydrogen storage of magnesium hydride.

Project description:Reversible solid-state hydrogen storage of magnesium hydride, traditionally driven by external heating, is constrained by massive energy input and low systematic energy density. Herein, a single phase of Mg2Ni(Cu) alloy is designed via atomic reconstruction to achieve the ideal integration of photothermal and catalytic effects for stable solar-driven hydrogen storage of MgH2. With the intra/inter-band transitions of Mg2Ni(Cu) and its hydrogenated state, over 85% absorption in the entire spectrum is achieved, resulting in the temperature up to 261.8 °C under 2.6 W cm-2. Moreover, the hydrogen storage reaction of Mg2Ni(Cu) is thermodynamically and kinetically favored, and the imbalanced distribution of the light-induced hot electrons within CuNi and Mg2Ni(Cu) facilitates the weakening of Mg-H bonds of MgH2, enhancing the "hydrogen pump" effect of Mg2Ni(Cu)/Mg2Ni(Cu)H4. The reversible generation of Mg2Ni(Cu) upon repeated dehydrogenation process enables the continuous integration of photothermal and catalytic roles stably, ensuring the direct action of localized heat on the catalytic sites without any heat loss, thereby achieving a 6.1 wt.% H2 reversible capacity with 95% retention under 3.5 W cm-2.

Hydride Reduction by a Sodium Hydride-Iodide Composite.

Project description:Sodium hydride (NaH) is widely used as a Brønsted base in chemical synthesis and reacts with various Brønsted acids, whereas it rarely behaves as a reducing reagent through delivery of the hydride to polar ??electrophiles. This study presents a series of reduction reactions of nitriles, amides, and imines as enabled by NaH in the presence of LiI or NaI. This remarkably simple protocol endows NaH with unprecedented and unique hydride-donor chemical reactivity.

Indium-Doped Rutile Titanium Oxide with Reduced Particle Length and Its Sodium Storage Properties.

Project description:We hydrothermally synthesized In-doped rutile TiO2 particles in an anionic surfactant solution and investigated the influences of In doping and the particle morphology on the Na+ storage properties. The solid solubility limit was found to be 0.8 atom % in In-doped TiO2. In the case where no surfactant was used, the best anode performance was obtained for 0.8 atom % In-doped TiO2 electrode by the benefits of three doping effects: (i) expanded diffusion-path size, (ii) improved electronic conductivity, and (iii) reduced electron charge density in the path. Further enhancement in the performance was achieved for the In-doped TiO2 with a reduced particle length by the synthesis in the surfactant solution. This electrode exhibited a better cycle stability and maintained a high discharge capacity of 240 mA h g-1 for 200 cycles. The reason is probably that Na+ can be inserted in the inner part of TiO2 particles because of its reduced particle length.

Hydrodenitrogenation of pyridines and quinolines at a multinuclear titanium hydride framework.

Project description:Investigation of the hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of aromatic N-heterocycles such as pyridines and quinolines at the molecular level is of fundamental interest and practical importance, as this transformation is essential in the industrial petroleum refining on solid catalysts. Here, we report the HDN of pyridines and quinolines by a molecular trinuclear titanium polyhydride complex. Experimental and computational studies reveal that the denitrogenation of a pyridine or quinoline ring is easier than the ring-opening reaction at the trinuclear titanium hydride framework, which is in sharp contrast with what has been reported previously. Hydrolysis of the pyridine-derived nitrogen-free hydrocarbon skeleton at the titanium framework with H2O leads to recyclization to afford cyclopentadiene with the generation of ammonia, while treatment with HCl gives the corresponding linear hydrocarbon products and ammonium chloride. This work has provides insights into the mechanistic aspects of the hydrodenitrogenation of an aromatic N-heterocycle at the molecular level.

Architecting Braided Porous Carbon Fibers Based on High-Density Catalytic Crystal Planes to Achieve Highly Reversible Sodium-Ion Storage.

Project description:Carbonaceous materials are considered strong candidates as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), which are expected to play an indispensable role in the carbon-neutral era. Herein, novel braided porous carbon fibres (BPCFs) are prepared using the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method. The BPCFs possess interwoven porous structures and abundant vacancies. The growth mechanism of the BPCFs can be attributed to the polycrystalline transformation of the nanoporous copper catalyst in the early stage of CVD process. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the Na+ adsorption energies of the mono-vacancy edges of the BPCFs (-1.22 and -1.09 eV) are lower than that of an ideal graphene layer (-0.68 eV), clarifying in detail the adsorption-dominated sodium storage mechanism. Hence, the BPCFs as an anode material present an outstanding discharge capacity of 401 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 500 cycles. Remarkably, this BPCFs anode, under high-mass-loading of 5 mg cm-2, shows excellent long-term cycling ability with a reversible capacity of 201 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 over 1000 cycles. This study provided a novel strategy for the development of high-performance carbonaceous materials for SIBs.

Hydride oxidation from a titanium-aluminum bimetallic complex: insertion, thermal and electrochemical reactivity.

Project description:We report the synthesis and reactivity of paramagnetic heterometallic complexes containing a Ti(iii)-μ-H-Al(iii) moiety. Combining different stoichiometries amounts of Cp2TiCl and KH3AlC(TMS)3 (Cp = cyclopentadienyl, TMS = trimethylsilyl) resulted in the formation of either bimetallic Cp2Ti(μ-H)2(H)AlC(TMS)3 (2) or trimetallic (Cp2Ti)2(μ-H)3(H)AlC(TMS)3 (3) via salt metathesis pathways. While these complexes were indefinitely stable at room temperature, the bridging hydrides were readily activated upon exposure to heteroallenes, heating, or electrochemical oxidation. In each case, formal hydride oxidation occurred, but the isolated product maintained the +3 oxidation state at both metal centers. The nature of this reactivity was explored using deuterium labelling experiments and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. It was found that while C-H activation from the Ti(iii) bimetallic may occur through a σ-bond metathesis pathway, chemical oxidation to Ti(iv) promotes bimolecular reductive elimination of dihydrogen to form a Ti(iii) product.

High entropy oxides for reversible energy storage.

Project description:In recent years, the concept of entropy stabilization of crystal structures in oxide systems has led to an increased research activity in the field of "high entropy oxides". These compounds comprise the incorporation of multiple metal cations into single-phase crystal structures and interactions among the various metal cations leading to interesting novel and unexpected properties. Here, we report on the reversible lithium storage properties of the high entropy oxides, the underlying mechanisms governing these properties, and the influence of entropy stabilization on the electrochemical behavior. It is found that the stabilization effect of entropy brings significant benefits for the storage capacity retention of high entropy oxides and greatly improves the cycling stability. Additionally, it is observed that the electrochemical behavior of the high entropy oxides depends on each of the metal cations present, thus providing the opportunity to tailor the electrochemical properties by simply changing the elemental composition.

Storage power purchase agreements to enable the deployment of energy storage in Europe.

Project description:We propose a contractual setup, the proxy storage power purchase agreement (PPA), to foster the deployment of energy storage technologies. We define a threshold price below which the PPA becomes financially attractive for PPA buyers. We compute the threshold price for several storage technologies and configurations, in seven European countries. Such threshold prices overlap with the best-case forecast of the battery levelized cost of storage in 2030, indicating that proxy storage PPAs can play a role in enabling battery storage installations within the next ten years in Europe (generating about €180 million per year). Moreover, we identify UK and Germany as the most attractive countries for storage PPAs in Europe due to the high projected threshold prices and planned storage capacities. We show that revenues are maximized when coupling storage with wind energy generation rather than solar. This points to the design of policies that efficiently subsidize storage installations.

Reversible spin storage in metal oxide-fullerene heterojunctions.

Project description:We show that hybrid MnOx/C60 heterojunctions can be used to design a storage device for spin-polarized charge: a spin capacitor. Hybridization at the carbon-metal oxide interface leads to spin-polarized charge trapping after an applied voltage or photocurrent. Strong electronic structure changes, including a 1-eV energy shift and spin polarization in the C60 lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, are then revealed by x-ray absorption spectroscopy, in agreement with density functional theory simulations. Muon spin spectroscopy measurements give further independent evidence of local spin ordering and magnetic moments optically/electronically stored at the heterojunctions. These spin-polarized states dissipate when shorting the electrodes. The spin storage decay time is controlled by magnetic ordering at the interface, leading to coherence times of seconds to hours even at room temperature.

Reversible catalytic dehydrogenation of alcohols for energy storage.

Project description:Reversibility of a dehydrogenation/hydrogenation catalytic reaction has been an elusive target for homogeneous catalysis. In this report, reversible acceptorless dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols and diols on iron pincer complexes and reversible oxidative dehydrogenation of primary alcohols/reduction of aldehydes with separate transfer of protons and electrons on iridium complexes are shown. This reactivity suggests a strategy for the development of reversible fuel cell electrocatalysts for partial oxidation (dehydrogenation) of hydroxyl-containing fuels.
