Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons as a New Class of Promising Cathode Materials for Aluminum‐Ion Batteries

Angewandte Chemie International Edition (2021)

Dongqing Kong Tonghui Cai Haodong Fan Haoyu Hu Xiaohui Wang

As an emerging post-lithium battery technology, aluminum ion batteries (AIBs) have the advantages of large Al reserves and high safety, and have great potential to be applied to power grid energy storage. But current graphite cathode materials are limited in charge storage capacity due to the formation of stage-4 graphite-intercalated compounds (GICs) in the fully charged state. Herein, we propose a new type of cathode materials for AIBs, namely polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which resemble graphite in terms of the large conjugated π bond, but do not form GICs in the charge process. Quantum chemistry calculations show that PAHs can bind AlCl4- through the interaction between the conjugated π bond in the PAHs and AlCl4-, forming on-plane interactions. The theoretical specific capacity of PAHs is negatively correlated with the number of benzene rings in the PAHs. Then, under the guidance of theoretical calculations, anthracene, a three-ring PAH, was evaluated as a cathode material for AIBs. Electrochemical measurements show that anthracene has a high specific capacity of 157 mAh g-1 (at 100 mA g-1 ) and still maintains a specific capacity of 130 mAh g-1 after 800 cycles. This work provides a feasible "theory guides practice" research model for the development of energy storage materials, and also provides a new class of promising cathode materials for AIBs.

Hydroquinone-modified Mesoporous Carbon Nanospheres with Excellent Capacitive Performance

Journal of Inorganic Materials (2017)

Xiuli Gao Dandan Wang Shuo Li Xing Wei Zifeng Yan

Pure carbon materials store energy mainly by the electric double-layer mechanism, resulting in their low specific capacitance.However, pseudocapacitive materials can store energy through faradaic reactions, leading to drastically improved specific capacitance.Herein, mesoporous carbon nanospheres with 3D ordered pore symmetry were synthesized by soft template method.Then, the hydroquinone (HQ) was used to modify mesoporous carbon nanospheres by hydrothermal method.As demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge tests, HQ modified carbon nanospheres show both electric double layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance.Carbon nanospheres with 10wt% HQ loading possess the highest specific capacitance of 285 F/g at the current density of 0.5 A/g and 212 F/g at 10 A/g, exhibiting excellent rate performance.This should be ascribed to the HQ molecules adsorbed on carbonaceous mesopore surface by  interactions, which not only provide extra pseudocapacitance, but also improve the rate performance of carbons in aqueous electrolyte.

Comparison of the Reactive Adsorption Desulfurization Performance of Ni/ZnO–Al₂O₃ Adsorbents Prepared by Different Methods

Energy & Fuels (2016)

Rooh Ullah Peng Bai Pingping Wu Zhanquan Zhang Ziyi Zhong

In this study, a series of Ni/ZnO–Al2O3 mixed oxide (MO) adsorbents were prepared by the one-step homogeneous precipitation method and the cation–anion double hydrolysis (CADH) method for reactive adsorption desulfurization (RADS) using thiophene as a model fuel in a fixed bed reactor. The synthesized adsorbents were characterized by N2 sorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and Raman spectroscopy. Results show that both Ni loading and the preparation method have a significant effect on the RADS activities of the adsorbent. Among the studied adsorbents, 10% Ni/ZnO–Al2O3 prepared by the one-step urea precipitation method showed the best RADS performance, with a thiophene conversion up to 96% and a sulfur adsorption capacity of 86 mg of S/g, which is 34% larger than that of CADH adsorbents. In addition, upon five RADS–regeneration cycles, sample 10% Ni/ZnO–Al2O3 exhibited a drop of only 3% in thiophene conversion, indicating the high stability of the Ni/ZnO–Al2O3 adsorbent prepared by homogeneous precipitation. Characterization results show that the one-step homogeneous precipitation method could facilitate the formation of small ZnO particles while suppressing the formation of inactive ZnAl2O4. On the other hand, by decreasing the formation of NiAl2O4, the homogeneous precipitation method could also generate high concentration of Ni0 sites, which are the active centers for the hydrogenolysis of C–S bonds. These findings indicate that a high-performance adsorbent for RADS can be obtained by employing a proper preparation method with good control on the adsorbent structure.

Passivated Surface of High Aluminum Containing ZSM-5 by Silicalite-1: Synthesis and Application in Dehydration Reaction

ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering (2022)

G. Giordano Massimo Migliori Giorgia Ferrarelli Gianfranco Giorgianni Francesco Dalena

Methanol dehydration reaction is an essential process to bridge the biomass conversion and chemicals. However, the undesired distribution of zeolite acidity hinders its excellent catalytic performance. In this work, the technique of passivating surface acidity of a high aluminum containing ZSM-5 zeolite by the growth of the silicalite-1 layer under hydrothermal conditions is presented. The samples passivated with a single-step or double-step silicalite-1 deposition were tested for the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether and compared to the parent ZSM-5 zeolite using a bench-scale packed bed reactor operated at 160–240 °C under atmospheric pressure. The formation of an amorphous silica layer determines the decrease of the accessible micropore surface determining the drop in conversion and selectivity of the catalyst with the passivating single-step silicalite-1 deposition with respect to the parent zeolite. In contrast, the catalyst with a double-step silicalite-1 deposition showed a conversion close to the parent ZSM-5 zeolite one but with an improved selectivity at high temperature, due to the low coke formation and retention in the highly porous structure.
