Defective Graphitic Carbon Nitride Modified Separators with Efficient Polysulfide Traps and Catalytic Sites for Fast and Reliable Sulfur Electrochemistry

Advanced Functional Materials (2021)

Zhaoming Tong Liang Huang Haipeng Liu Wen Lei Haijun Zhang

Abstract The serious shuttle effect of lithium‐sulfur batteries limits the efficient realization of high rate charging and discharging under high sulfur loading in practical applications. Herein, this work reports a strong mitigation toward lithium polysulfide (LiPSs) adsorption/catalysis by introducing defective graphite phase carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ) as an effective additive. Without significant weight increase, the nitrogen deficient g‐C 3 N 4 , in the form of ultrafine spindle‐like nitrogen deficient g‐C 3 N 4− x (sCN), can be easily combined with commercial poly‐propylene (PP) separators after hydrophilic modification of polydopamine, which corresponds to an ultralow overall weightiness contribution of 0.17 mg cm −2 . Physical/electrochemical characterizations and theoretical studies reveal that sCN exhibits strong electrostatic attraction with LiPSs by nitrogen defects and new formation of cyano groups near edges, thereby maintaining rapid and reliable LiS electrochemistry. Of particular importance is the chainmail catalyst design with separators that enable magic polysulfides adsorption effect and desirable thermostability/wettability, which guarantees the sCNPP‐assembled cells with long and stable durability over 500 cycles at 5.0 C (capacity fading rate: 0.05% per cycle), and a high capability of 476 mAh g −1 is obtained.

Interactions between hydrogen and tungsten carbide: a first principles study

RSC Advances (2014)

Yongjie Xi Liang Huang Robert C. Forrey Hansong Cheng

Tungsten carbide has been proposed to be a potential inexpensive alternative to platinum for catalyzing hydrogenation reactions. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we performed a systematic study on the geometries and electronic structures of small (WC)n (n = 1–10) clusters. A cubic-like growth of WC clusters was found to be the preferred pathway. The interactions between the WC clusters and hydrogen were compared to interactions of hydrogen with the WC(0001) surface. Both atomic clusters and the crystalline surface of WC can lead to facile dissociation of H2 while the activation energy on the former is even lower; the H diffusion barrier on WC clusters was found to be significantly higher than that on the WC(0001) surface, yet both of the calculated diffusion barriers are well above the values on the platinum counterpart. The lack of hydrogen mobility may exert a profound influence on the kinetics of hydrogen for participating in reactions on WC. The desorption strength of H on (WC)n (n = 2, 4, 6, 9) at various hydrogen coverages was explored and the hydrogen saturated (WC)9 cluster was used to rationalize the catalytic formation of hydrogen tungsten bronzes. The study provides insights which may be useful for efforts to replace Pt with WC in catalytic processes involving hydrogen.

Low‐temperature preparation of high‐performance porous ceramics composed of anorthite platelets

Journal of the American Ceramic Society (2020)

Lei Han Liang Huang Longhao Dong Haijun Zhang Yuantao Pei

Abstract Platelet‐like anorthite based porous ceramics with improved mechanical strength were fabricated via direct gelcasting and firing at 1223‐1473 K using CaCO 3 , Al(OH) 3 , and SiO 2 powders as the raw materials, along with H 3 BO 3 and melamine sintering/crosslinking agents. Based on density functional theory calculations, H 3 BO 3 promoted the formation of platelet‐like anorthite at a relatively low temperature via covering the {130} facet of anorthite and reducing the corresponding adsorption energy, which led to the preferential growth along the a ‐ and b ‐axes. The optimal amount of H 3 BO 3 for the anorthite platelet formation was 0.9 wt%. The porous anorthite sample with an original solid content of 22.0 wt%, after firing at 1373 K, contained 71.0% porosity and exhibited a compressive strength as high as 5.7 MPa, which were comparable or even superior to those of porous anorthite ceramics prepared previously at a much higher temperature (1573‐1723 K), indicating that the preparation strategy reported in this paper is feasible in fabricating high‐performance porous anorthite ceramics at a much milder condition. The thermal conductivity of the porous anorthite sample at 1073 K was as low as 0.266 W/(m·K), much lower than that (0.645 W/(m·K)) of the control sample, suggesting that the former could be potentially used for thermal insulation at high temperatures.

Tuning the Catalytic Activity of Pd_xNi_y (x + y = 6) Bimetallic Clusters for Hydrogen Dissociative Chemisorption and Desorption

ACS Omega (2019)

Shuangxiu Ma Shunxin Fei Liang Huang Robert C. Forrey Hansong Cheng

Density functional theory was used to study dissociative chemisorption and desorption on Pd x Ni y (x + y = 6) bimetallic clusters. The H2 dissociative chemisorption energies and the H desorption energies at full H saturation were computed. It was found that bimetallic clusters tend to have higher chemisorption energy than pure clusters, and the capacity of Pd3Ni3 and Pd2Ni4 clusters to adsorb H atoms is substantially higher than that of other clusters. The H desorption energies of Pd3Ni3 and Pd2Ni4 are also lower than that of the Pd6 cluster and comparable to that of the Ni6 cluster, indicating that it is easier to pull the H atom out of these bimetallic catalysts. This suggests that the catalytic efficiency for specific Pd x Ni y bimetallic clusters may be superior to bare Ni or Pd clusters and that it may be possible to tune bimetallic nanoparticles to obtain better catalytic performance.
