Abstract

Gas flaring in oil/gas drilling and gas leakage in natural gas power plant lead to significant energy loss and environmental burden. Here, solar-driven efficient methane oxidation was demonstrated under high velocity continuous flow over the ZnO/La_0.8Sr_0.2CoO₃ (ZnO/LSCO) heterojunctions. The ZnO/LSCO heterojunctions enable a unique epitaxial hetero-interface, which effectively regulates the electron transfer between Zn 3d-O 2p hybrid orbital in ZnO and Co e_g orbital in LSCO and promotes the rapid generation and refill of oxygen vacancy with unpaired electron (V_o), thus enhancing the activity and mobility of surface lattice oxygen in ZnO/LSCO. Under solar illumination, the synergy of photothermal and photocatalytic effect boosts the reversible electron transfer in the interface, which further activates surface lattice oxygen, resulting in a ~2 times higher methane oxidation activity. Such a solar-driven system not only enables a promising pathway for emitted methane utilization, but also provides an advanced catalyst design concept of epitaxial interface construction.

Promotion of catalytic selectivity on transition metal oxide through restructuring surface lattice

Journal Article Liu, Juanjuan ; Fung, Victor ; Wang, Yong ; ... - Applied Catalysis B: Environmental

Pursuit of high catalytic selectivity is paramount in the design of catalysts for green chemical processes towards minimizing the production of undesired products. We demonstrated that catalytic selectivity for production of alkene through oxidative dehydrogenation of alkane on transition metal oxides can be promoted through tailoring the surface lattice of the oxide catalyst. Selectivity for production of ethylene through oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of ethane on Co₃O₄ nanocrystals can be substantially increased by 30%–35% via temperature-mediated reconstruction of surface lattice of Co₃O₄. Co₃O₄ nanocrystals formed at 800 °C leads to smooth, flat crystal plane with predominantly exposed (111) facet in contrastmore »« less

Effect of epitaxial strain on the optical properties of NaOsO₃

Journal Article Bhandari, Churna ; Satpathy, Sashi - Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids

We study the electronic and optical properties of NaOsO₃ under epitaxial strain using first principles methods. Structural optimization shows important changes with strain in the structural parameters such as the OsO bond lengths and the octahedral rotation angles. The key change in the electronic structure is the band gap, which increases with compressive epitaxial strain and decreases with tensile strain. The computed optical absorption coefficient is more or less isotropic for the unstrained structure for light polarization along the three crystallographic directions, but for the strained structure, it is enhanced if the light polarization is along a compressed crystallographic directionmore »« less

The role of surface hydroxyls on the radiolysis of gibbsite and boehmite nanoplatelets

Journal Article Wang, Zheming ; Walter, Eric D. ; Sassi, Michel ; ... - Journal of Hazardous Materials

Understanding mechanistic pathways to radiolytic hydrogen generation by metal oxyhydroxide nanomaterials is challenging because of the difficulties of distinguishing key locations of OH bond scission, from structural interiors to hydroxylated surfaces to physi-sorbed water molecules. In this work we exploited the interface-selectivity of vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) to isolate surface versus bulk hydroxyl groups for gibbsite and boehmite nanoplatelets before and after ⁶⁰Co irradiation at dose levels of approximately 7.0 and 29.6 Mrad. While high-resolution microscopy revealed no effect on particle bulk and surface structures, VSFG results clearly indicated up to 83% and 94% radiation-induced surface OH bond scissionmore »« less

Degradation of Congo Red dye by a Fe₂O₃@CeO₂-ZrO₂/Palygorskite composite catalyst: Synergetic effects of Fe₂O₃

Journal Article Ouyang, Jing ; Zhao, Zai ; Suib, Steven L. ; ... - Journal of Colloid and Interface Science

A newly designed Fe₂O₃@CeO₂-ZrO₂/Palygorskite heterogeneous Fenton catalyst with high degradation efficiency toward Congo Red (CR) is reported in this paper. The iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) was used as the originator of hydroxyl radicals (OH), CeO₂-ZrO₂ was used as an efficient matrix of Fe₂O₃ to enhance the oxidation performance, and the Palygorskite (Pal) played the role of substrate and adsorbent. A synergetic effect of the catalyst was realized by enhancing the adsorption capacity and dispersibility of CeO₂-ZrO₂ and Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles, and also due to charge transfer between these two species. The products were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, XPS, VSM andmore »« less

Solvent-free production of carbon materials with developed pore structure from biomass for high-performance supercapacitors

Journal Article Huang, Lang ; Wu, Qiong ; Liu, Shouxin ; ... - Industrial Crops and Products

The study aimed at preparing porous carbon materials, with superhydrophilic characteristics and developed micro/mesoporous structure (CSB-800), from corn stover by a solvent-free method including pre-carbonization, ball milling, and activation. The effect of pre-carbonization, ball milling on the detailed structural composition and properties especially the hydrophilicity and porous structures were studied, and the potential application of CSB-800 as electrode in supercapacitors was also investigated. The results revealed that pre-carbonization increased the accessibility of raw materials as well as the efficiency of the ball milling with KOH, leading to small carbon particles with good dispersion behavior. Ball milling promoted the porosity, surfacemore »« less
