LDH Nanocubes Synthesized with Zeolite Templates and Their High Performance as Adsorbents.

ABSTRACT: In this work, the efficiency of the adsorptive removal of the organic cationic dye methylene blue (MB) from polluted water was examined using three materials: natural clay (zeolite), Zn-Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH), and zeolite/LDH composite. These materials were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) diffraction (XRF), low-temperature N₂ adsorption, pore volume and average pore size distribution and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The properties of the applied nanomaterials regarding the adsorption of MB were investigated by determining various experimental parameters, such as the contact time, initial dye concentration, and solution pH. In addition, the adsorption isotherm model was estimated using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm models. The Langmuir model was the best-fitting for all applied nanomaterials. In addition, the kinetics were analyzed by using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models, and the pseudo-second-order model was an apparent fit for all three applied nanomaterials. The maximum Adsorption capacity toward MB obtained from the materials was in the order zeolite/LDH composite > zeolites > Zn-Fe LDH. Thus, the zeolite/LDH composite is an excellent adsorbent for the removal of MB from polluted water.

High Rate Performance Supercapacitors Based on N, O Co-Doped Hierarchical Porous Carbon Foams Synthesized via Chemical Blowing and Dual Templates.

Project description:N, O Co-Doped porous carbon materials are promising electrode materials for supercapacitors. However, it is still a challenge to prepare high capacitance performance N, O Co-Doped porous carbon materials with balanced pore structure. In this work, a simple chemical blowing method was developed to produce hierarchal porous carbon materials with Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and Fe(NO3)3·9H2O as the foaming agents and precursors of dual templates. Soybean protein isolate served as a self-doping carbon source. The amount of Fe(NO3)3·9H2O influenced the microstructure, element content and capacitance performance of the obtained porous carbon materials. The optimized sample CZnFe-5 with the addition of 5% Fe(NO3)3·9H2O displayed the best capacitance performance. The specific capacitance reached 271 F g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 and retained 133 F g-1 at 100 A g-1. The CZnFe-5//CZnFe-5 symmetric supercapacitors delivered a maximum energy density of 16.83 Wh kg-1 and good stability with capacitance retention of 86.33% after 40,000 cycles tests at 50 A g-1. The symmetric supercapacitors exhibited potential applications in lighting LED bulbs with a voltage of 3 V. This work provides a new strategy for the synthesis of hierarchical porous carbon materials for supercapacitors from low-cost biomass products.

ZIF-67 Derived Co2VO4 Hollow Nanocubes for High Performance Asymmetric Supercapacitors.

Project description:In this work, a new type of Co2VO4 hollow nanocube (CoVO-HNC) was synthesized through an ion exchange process using ZIF-67 nanocubes as a template. The hollow nanocubic structure of the CoVO-HNC provides an abundance of redox sites and shortens the ion/electron diffusion path. As the electrode material of supercapacitors, the specific capacitance of CoVO-HNC is 427.64 F g-1 at 1.0 A g-1. Furthermore, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was assembled using CoVO-HNC and activated carbon (AC) as electrodes. The ASC device attains an energy density of 25.28 Wh kg-1 at a high-power density of 801.24 W kg-1, with 78% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles at 10 A g-1.

Hollow porous SiO2 nanocubes towards high-performance anodes for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:The high theoretical capacity and low discharge potential of silicon have attracted much attention on Si-based anodes. Herein, hollow porous SiO2 nanocubes have been prepared via a two-step hard-template process and evaluated as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The hollow porous SiO2 nanocubes exhibited a reversible capacity of 919 mAhg(-1) over 30 cycles. The reasonable property could be attributed to the unique hollow nanostructure with large volume interior and numerous crevices in the shell, which could accommodate the volume change and alleviate the structural strain during Li ions' insertion and extraction, as well as allow rapid access of Li ions during charge/discharge cycling. It is found that the formation of irreversible or reversible lithium silicates in the anodes determines the capacity of a deep-cycle battery, fast transportation of Li ions in hollow porous SiO2 nanocubes is beneficial to the formation of Li2O and Si, contributing to the high reversible capacity.

Computational Investigation of Correlations in Adsorbate Entropy for Pure-Silica Zeolite Adsorbents.

Project description:Vast numbers of unstudied hypothetical porous frameworks continue to spark interest in optimizing adsorption and catalytic processes. Evaluating the use of such materials depends on the accessibility of thermodynamic metrics such as the free energy, which, in turn, depend on the satisfactory estimation or calculation of the adsorption entropy, which often remains elusive. Previous works using simulations and experimental data have demonstrated relationships between the entropy and system descriptors, allowing for sensible predictions based on more-easily obtained physical parameters. However, the resultant conclusions were either based on experimental data for industrially relevant alkanes or lacked a significant sample size. In this paper, we evaluate correlations between gas-phase and adsorbed-phase entropies for a larger and more chemically diverse set of adsorbate molecules by using force fields and statistical mechanical expressions to calculate those entropies. In total, we perform calculations for 37 molecules across 10 chemical categories available in the TraPPE force field set, as adsorbed in five siliceous zeolites. Our results show that linear correlations between the gas- and adsorbed-phase entropies persist for the larger and diverse set of adsorbate molecules studied here, proving a broader applicability and justifying the use of simple correlations for many adsorbates and, presumably, adsorbent materials.

Efficient separation of strontium radionuclides from high-salinity wastewater by zeolite 4A synthesized from Bayer process liquids.

Project description:The efficient, selective, and economical sorbents for the removal of Sr radionuclides are largely needed for the decontamination of effluents with high salinity. In this study, the removal of Sr was investigated using the zeolite produced from the Bayer process liquids. Based on the XRD, SEM/EDS analysis, the product was pure and highly crystalline zeolite 4A (Z4A). Removal of Sr was fast (5 min for 100% removal at 8.80 mg/L), with high maximum sorption capacity (252.5 mg/L), and independent on the initial pH in the range 3.5-9.0. Specific sorption of Sr by protonated groups on the Z4A surface was operating in addition to ion-exchange with Na ions. The selectivity of Z4A decreased in the order Sr > Ca > K > Mg > Na. 84% of Sr was separated from seawater within 5 min, at the Z4A dose of 5 g/L, while efficiency increased to 99% using the dose of 20 g/L. Desorption of radioisotope 89Sr from seawater/Z4A solid residue was very low in deionized water (0.1-0.2%) and groundwater (0.7%) during 60 days of leaching. Z4A is a cost-effective, selective, and high-capacity medium for Sr removal, which provides high stability of retained radionuclides.

ZIF-12/Fe-Cu LDH Composite as a High Performance Electrocatalyst for Water Oxidation.

Project description:Layered double hydroxides (LDH) are being used as electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reactions (OERs). However, low current densities limit their practical applications. Herein, we report a facile and economic synthesis of an iron-copper based LDH integrated with a cobalt-based metal-organic framework (ZIF-12) to form LDH-ZIF-12 composite (1) through a co-precipitation method. The as-synthesized composite 1 requires a low overpotential of 337 mV to achieve a catalytic current density of 10 mA cm-2 with a Tafel slope of 89 mV dec-1. Tafel analysis further demonstrates that 1 exhibits a slope of 89 mV dec-1 which is much lower than the slope of 284 mV dec-1 for LDH and 172 mV dec-1 for ZIF-12. The slope value of 1 is also lower than previously reported electrocatalysts, including Ni-Co LDH (113 mV dec-1) and Zn-Co LDH nanosheets (101 mV dec-1), under similar conditions. Controlled potential electrolysis and stability test experiments show the potential application of 1 as a heterogeneous electrocatalyst for water oxidation.

Surface Functionalization of Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds with MgAlEu-LDH Nanosheets for High-Performance Bone Regeneration.

Project description:Although artificial bone repair scaffolds, such as titanium alloy, bioactive glass, and hydroxyapatite (HAp), have been widely used for treatment of large-size bone defects or serious bone destruction, they normally exhibit unsatisfied bone repair efficiency because of their weak osteogenic and angiogenesis performance as well as poor cell crawling and adhesion properties. Herein, the surface functionalization of MgAlEu-layered double hydroxide (MAE-LDH) nanosheets on porous HAp scaffolds is reported as a simple and effective strategy to prepare HAp/MAE-LDH scaffolds for enhanced bone regeneration. The surface functionalization of MAE-LDHs on the porous HAp scaffold can significantly improve its surface roughness, specific surface, and hydrophilicity, thus effectively boosting the cells adhesion and osteogenic differentiation. Importantly, the MAE-LDHs grown on HAp scaffolds enable the sustained release of Mg2+ and Eu3+ ions for efficient bone repair and vascular regeneration. In vitro experiments suggest that the HAp/MAE-LDH scaffold presents much enhanced osteogenesis and angiogenesis properties in comparison with the pristine HAp scaffold. In vivo assays further reveal that the new bone mass and mineral density of HAp/MAE-LDH scaffold increased by 3.18- and 2.21-fold, respectively, than that of pristine HAp scaffold. The transcriptome sequencing analysis reveals that the HAp/MAE-LDH scaffold can activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to promote the osteogenic and angiogenic abilities.

Removal of Chromates and Sulphates by Mg/Fe LDH and Heterostructured LDH/Halloysite Materials: Efficiency, Selectivity, and Stability of Adsorbents in Single- and Multi-Element Systems.

Project description:Industrial wastewaters often contain mobile and toxic anions that cannot be removed by precipitation techniques and most known adsorbents. Layered double hydroxides (LDH) are excellent scavengers of anions; however, their use in real applications is of minor importance owing to their swelling behavior and high cost of production. The performed research shows the possibility of obtaining Mg/Fe LDH using natural magnesite. Moreover, heterostructured LDH/halloysite materials were synthesized. The adsorption efficiency of these materials was very high in both single- and multi-element systems, confirming the LDH selectivity. This was with the exception of wastewaters containing a high concentration of chlorides, which clearly hampered the removal of Cr(VI) and S(VI). The measurements indicated that LDH dissolution took place to a small extent (<10 wt%). The LDH/halloysite materials showed lower efficiency than the raw LDH; however, the clay presence has several benefits in terms of future applications: (i) it significantly reduces the pH, especially in contrast to the calcined LDH, which enables the reuse or safe disposal of purified water; (ii) it reduces swelling of the composite, which opens the possibility for applications in column adsorption; (iii) it induces dual adsorption properties through additional cation adsorption; and (iv) it substantially lowers the price of the adsorbent.

CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption performance of template free zeolite A and X synthesized from rice husk ash as silicon source.

Project description:In this work, zeolite NaA (RA) and NaX (RX) have been successfully synthesized using rice husk ash and it is a low cost synthesis process and it does not produce environmental hazards. Sodium silicate (SS) is extracted from rice husk ash which is an alternative silica source for zeolite synthesis. The zeolites are prepared by using a SS silica source extracted from the rice husk ash, and it has been used as an adsorbent for the CO2 adsorption process which may help in controlling the global warming problems. The zeolites are synthesized by a hydrothermal method without using any organic templating agent. FESEM and TEM micrographs revealed that the synthesized zeolites RA and RX have "Ice cube" and octahedral morphology respectively. From the N2 sorption studies, the BET surface area of the synthesized zeolites have been found and are 106.25 m2 g-1 and 512.79 m2 g-1 respectively. The maximum CO2 adsorption capacities of zeolite RA and RX are 2.22 and 2.45 mmol g-1, respectively at a temperature of 297.15 K. The recorded data are fitted by using non-linear adsorption isotherm models of Langmuir, Freundlich and Toth isotherm models. The fitted isotherm models are observed to be a type I adsorption isotherm according to the IUPAC classification criterion.

Large-scale synthesis of palladium concave nanocubes with high-index facets for sustainable enhanced catalytic performance.

Project description:The catalytic activity of palladium (Pd) nanostructures highly relies on their size and morphology, especially enclosed with high-index facets, which provide more active sites so as to enhance their catalytic performance comparing with their low-index facet counterparts. Herein, Pd concave nanocubes enclosed with {730} facets by a one-pot scalable liquid method, with various high-index facets are synthesized via tuning reduction kinetics. Due to their high-index facets, the Pd concave nanocubes exhibit much higher electrocatalytic activity and stability for methanol oxidation than the Pd nanocubes enclosed by {100} facets and commercial Pd/C. Furthermore, we scale up synthesis of Pd concave nanocubes by expanding the volume of all species to fifty times with high-yield production.
