Improvement effect of reversible solid solutions Mg_(2)Ni(Cu)/Mg_(2)Ni(Cu)H_(4)on hydrogen storage performance of MgH_(2)

The hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetic properties of MgH_(2)can be effectively enhanced by doping specific catalysts.In this work,MOFs-derived NiCu@C nanoparticles(~15 nm)with regular core-shell structure were successfully prepared and introduced into MgH_(2)(denoted as MgH_(2)-NiCu@C).The onset and peak temperatures of hydrogen desorption of MgH_(2)-11 wt.%NiCu@C are 175.0℃and282.2℃,respectively.The apparent activation energy of dehydrogenated reaction is 77.2±4.5 kJ/mol for MgH_(2)-11 wt.%NiCu@C,which is lower than half of that of the as-milled MgH_(2).Moreover,MgH_(2)-11 wt.%NiCu@C displays great cyclic stability.The strengthening"hydrogen pumping"effect of reversible solid solutions Mg_(2)Ni(Cu)/Mg_(2)Ni(Cu)H_(4)is proposed to explain the remarkable improvement in hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetic properties of MgH_(2).This work offers a novel perspective for the design of bimetallic nanoparticles and beyond for application in hydrogen storage and other energy related fields.

Effects of highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles on the hydrogen storage performance of MgH_(2)

MgH_(2)with a large hydrogen capacity is regarded as a promising hydrogen storage material.However,it still suffers from high thermal stability and sluggish kinetics.In this paper,highly dispersed nano-Ni has been successfully prepared by using the polyol reduction method with an average size of 2.14 nm,which significantly improves the de/rehydrogenation properties of MgH_(2).The MgH_(2)–10wt%nano-Ni sample starts releasing H_(2)at 497 K,and roughly 6.2wt%H_(2)has been liberated at 583 K.The rehydrogenation kinetics of the sample are also greatly improved,and the adsorption capacity reaches 5.3wt%H_(2)in 1000 s at 482 K and under 3 MPa hydrogen pressure.Moreover,the activation energies of de/rehydrogenation of the MgH_(2)–10wt%nano-Ni sample are reduced to(88±2)and(87±1)kJ·mol−1,respectively.In addition,the thermal stability of the MgH_(2)–10wt%nano-Ni system is reduced by 5.5 kJ per mol H_(2)from that of pristine MgH_(2).This finding indicates that nano-Ni significantly improves both the thermodynamic and kinetic performances of the de/rehydrogenation of MgH_(2),serving as a bi-functional additive of both reagent and catalyst.

To compare the hydrogen storage performances of as-milled REMg11Ni-5MoS2(mass fraction)(RE=Y,Sm)alloys,which were catalyzed by MoS2,the corresponding alloys were prepared.The hydrogen storage performaces of these alloys were measured by various methods,such as XRD,TEM,automatic Sievert apparatus,TG and DSC.The results reveal that both of the as-milled alloys exhibit a nanocrystalline and amorphous structure.The RE=Y alloy shows a larger hydrogen absorption capacity,faster hydriding rate,lower initial hydrogen desorption temperature,superior hydrogen desorption property,and lower hydrogen desorption activation energy,which is thought to be the reason of its better hydrogen storage kinetics,as compared with RE=Sm alloy.

Enhancing hydrogen storage performance via optimizing Y and Ni element in magnesium alloy

Magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials are considered as one of the most promising candidates for solid state hydrogen storage due to their advantages of high hydrogen capacity,excellent reversibility and low cost.In this paper,Mg_(91.4)Ni_(7)Y_(1.6) and Mg_(92.8)Ni_(2.4)Y_(4.8) alloys were prepared by melting and ball milling.Their microstructures and phases were characterized by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope,and hydrogen absorbing and desorbing properties were tested by the high pressure gas adsorption apparatus and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC).In order to estimate the activation energy and growth mechanism of alloy hydride,the JMAK,Arrhenius and Kissinger methods were applied for calculation.The hydrogen absorption content of Mg_(92.8)Ni_(2.4)Y_(4.8) alloy reaches 3.84 wt.%within 5 min under 350℃,3 MPa,and the maximum hydrogen capacity of the alloy is 4.89 wt.%in same condition.However,the hydrogen absorption of Mg_(91.4)Ni_(7)Y_(1.6) alloy reaches 5.78 wt.%within 5 min,and the maximum hydrogen absorption of the alloy is 6.44 wt.%at 350℃and 3 MPa.The hydrogenation activation energy of Mg_(94.4)Ni_(7)Y_(1.6) alloy is 25.4 kJ/mol H_(2),and the enthalpy and entropy of hydrogen absorption are-60.6 kJ/mol H_(2) and 105.5 J/K/mol H_(2),separately.The alloy begins to dehydrogenate at 210℃,with the dehydrogenation activation energy of 87.7 kJ/mol H_(2).By altering the addition amount of Ni and Y elements,the 14 H-LPSO phase with smaller size and ternary eutectic areas with high volume fraction are obtained,which provides more phase boundaries and catalysts with better dispersion,and there are a lot of fine particles in the alloy,these structures are beneficial to enhance the hydrogen storage performance of the alloys.

Effect of thermal storage performance of concrete radiant cooling room on indoor temperature

A building model with radiant cooling system was established and the cooling load, indoor temperature, surface temperature of the wails and other parameters in non-cooling and radiant cooling room were calculated by TRNSYS. The comparative analysis of the characteristics of attenuation and delay proves that the operation of radiant cooling system increases the degree of temperature attenuation of the room and reduces the inner surface temperature of the wall significantly, but has little effect on the attenuation coefficient and delay time of wall heat transfer. The simulation results also show that the inner surface temperature of the walls in the radiant cooling room is much lower than that in non-cooling room in the day with the maximum cooling load, which reduces the indoor operation temperature largely, and improves the thermal comfort. Finally, according to the analysis of indoor temperature of the rooms with different operation schedules of cooling system, it can be derived that the indoor mean temperature changes with the working time of radiant cooling system, and the operation schedule can be adjusted in practice according to the actual indoor temperature to achieve the integration of energy efficiency and thermal comfort.

NASICON-type structured NaTi2(PO4)3 has been regarded as a promising anode material for non-aqueous and aqueous Na-ion batteries,whereas its sodium storage performance was greatly restricted by its inherent inferior electronic conductivity.In the present work,a two-step carbon modification method using prefabricated carbon spheres as support and phenolic resin as carbon source was proposed to prepare advanced NaTi2(PO4)3/C.The as-prepared composite with carbon spheres displayed a much higher reversible capacity(126.7 mA?h/g vs 106.7 mA?h/g at 0.5C)than the control sample without carbon spheres.Superior rate capability with discharge capacities of 115.1,95.5,80.8 mAh/g at 1C,10C,20C,respectively and long-term cycling stability with capacity retention of 92.4%after 1000 cycles at 5C were also observed.Owing to the designing of two-step carbon modification,although the as-prepared sample shows much smaller surface area,it possesses much better conductive network and more uniform particle distribution,resulting in higher electronic conductivity and faster ionic conductivity,thereby superior sodium storage ability at high rate.

Simultaneously enhanced energy storage performance and luminance resistance in (K_(0.5)Na_(0.5))NbO_(3) -based ceramics via synergistic optimization strategy

The rapidly advancing energy storage performance of dielectric ceramics capacitors has garnered significant interest for applications in fast charge/discharge and high-power electronic techniques.Exploring the exceptional electrical properties in harsh environments can further promote their practical applications.Defect carriers can be excited under luminance irradiation,thereby leading to degradation of energy storage performance.Herein,a synergic optimization strategy is proposed to enhance energy storage properties and luminance resistance of(K_(0.5)Na_(0.5))NbO_(3)-base(KNN)ceramics.First,the introduction of Bi(Zn0.5Ti0.5)O_(3) solid solution and La3+ions disrupts the long-range polar orders and enhances super paraelectric relaxation characteristics.Additionally,doping La3+ions can increase the band gap and reduce oxygen vacancy concentration,resulting in excellent luminance resistance.Finally,the viscous polymer process is employed to suppress the grain growth and promote chemical homogeneity.As a result,ultrahigh recoverable energy storage density(Wrec)of 8.11 J/cm3 and high efficiency(η)of 80.98%are achieved under an electric field of 568 kV/cm.Moreover,the variations in Wrec andηare only 12.45%and 1.75%,respectively,under 500 W xenon lamp irradiation compared to the performance under a dark environment.These findings hold great potential in facilitating the practical application of dielectric ceramic capacitors in luminance irradiation environments.

3D Graphene Nanosheets Crosslinked Core-Shell FeS_(2)@N,S Co-Doped Porous Carbon for Improved Lithium/Sodium Storage Performance

Transition metal sulfides(TMS)hold great promise as anode materials for Li^(+)/Na^(+)storage.However,their practical application still faces several challenges,such as inadequate electrical conductivity,substantial volume changes and a propensity for agglomeration.To tackle these challenges,a 3D composite structure composed of graphene nanosheets crosslinked core−shell FeS_(2)@N,S co−doped porous carbon(FeS_(2)@NSC/GNs)is created by combining self−template polymerization with the graphene encapsulation technique.Systematic characterization and analysis demonstrate the effectiveness of the self−template polymerization strategy in generating a porous core−shell structure,which facilitates the uniform dispersion and optimal contact of the FeS_(2) core within the carbon shell.Concurrently,the integration of graphene,alongside the porous carbon shell,introduces a sophisticated dual−protection mechanism against volume expansion and undesirable FeS_(2) aggregation.Furthermore,the resulting 3D architecture enables efficient electron/ion transport and provides abundant sites for Li^(+)/Na^(+)storage.Leveraging these inherent benefits,the FeS_(2)@NSC/GNs composite exhibits significantly improved lithium/sodium storage performance in comparison to the counterparts.Evidently,our proposed approach offers valuable guidance for the construction of advanced anodes for lithium/sodium−ion batteries.

Heat Storage Performance of PCM in a Novel Vertical Pointer-Shaped Finned Latent Heat Tank

The heat storage performance of latent heat storage systems is not good due to the poor thermal conductivity of phase change materials.In this paper,a new type of pointer-shaped fins combining rectangular and triangular fins has been employed to numerically simulate the melting process in the heat storage tank,and the fin geometry parameter effects on heat storage performance have been studied.The results indicate that compared with the bare tube and the rectangular finned tank,the melting time of the phase change material in the pointer-shaped finned tank is reduced by 64.2%and 15.1%,respectively.The closer the tip of the triangular fin is to the hot wall,the better the heat transfer efficiency.The optimal height of the triangular fin is about 8 mm.Increasing the number of fins from 4 to 6 and from 6 to 8 reduces the melting time by 16.0%and 16.7%respectively.However,increasing the number of fins from 8 to 10 only reduces the melting time by 8.4%.When the fin dimensionless length is increased from 0.3 to 0.5 and from 0.5 to 0.7,the melting time is shortened by 17.5%and 13.0%.But the melting time is only reduced by 2.9%when the dimensionless fin length is increased from 0.7 to 0.9.For optimising the design of the thermal storage system,the results can provide a reference value.

AgNbO_(3)(AN)and modified AgNbO_(3) have been extensively investigated as promising lead-free antiferroelectric(AFE)energy storage materials.Previous studies have focused mainly on the use of an ion dopant at the A/B site to obtain a stabilized AFE phase;however,simultaneous improvements in the recoverable energy storage density(Wrec)and efficiency(n)are stll difficult to realize.Herein,we innovatively constructed a AgNbO_(3)-NaNbO_(3)-(Sr_(0.7)Bi_(0.2))TiO_(3)(AN-NN-SBT)ternary solid solution to achieve a relaxor AFE in AgNbO_(3)-based materials.The coexistence of antiferroelectric(M3)and paraelectric(O)phases in 0.8(0.7AgNbO_(3)-0.3NaNbO_(3))-0.2(Sro.7Bio.2)TiO_(3) confirms the successful realization of a relaxor AFE,attributed to multiple ion occupation at the A/B sites.Consequently,a high Wrec of 7.53 J.cm^(-3) and n of 74.0% are acquired,together with superior stability against various temperatures,frequencies,and cycling numbers.Furthermore,a high power density(298.7 MW·cm^(-3))and fast discharge speed(41.4 ns)are also demonstrated for the AgNbO_(3)-based relaxor AFE.This work presents a promising energy storage AgNbO_(3)-based ternary solid solution and proposes a novel strategy for AgNbO_(3)-based energy storage via the design of relaxor AFE materials.

Lead-free dielectric ceramics can be used to make quick charge-discharge capacitor devices due to their high power density.Their use in advanced electronic systems,however,has been hampered by their poor energy storage performance(ESP),which includes low energy storage efficiency and recoverable energy storage density(Wrec).In this work,we adopted a combinatorial optimization strategy to improve the ESP in(Bi_(0.5)Na_(0.5))TiO_(3)(BNT)-based relaxor ferroelectric ceramics.To begin,the Bi-containing complex ions Bi(Mg_(2/3)Nb_(1/3))O_(3)(BMN)were introduced into a BNT-based matrix in order to improve the diffuse phase transition,increase Bi-O bond coupling,avoid macro domain development,and limit polarization response hysteresis.Second,the viscous polymer process was employed to reduce sample thickness and porosity,resulting in an apparent increase in breakdown strength in(1-x)[0.7(Bi_(1/2)Na_(1/2))TiO_(3)]-0.3SrTiO_(3)-xBi(Mg_(2/3)Nb_(1/3))O_(3)(BS-xBMN)ceramics.Finally,in x=0.20 composition,an amazing Wrecof 5.62 J·cm^(-3)and an ultra-high efficiency of 91.4%were simultaneously achieved at a relatively low field of 330 kV·cm^(-1),together with remarkable temperature stability in the temperature range of 30-140℃(3.5 J·cm^(-3)±5%variation).This research presents a new lead-free dielectric material with superior ESP for use in pulsed power capacitors.

Thermal-mechanical processing of magnesium-based materials is an effective method to tailor the hydrogen storage performance.In this study,Mg-Ni-Gd-Y-Zn-Cu alloys were prepared by Direct Chill(DC)casting,with and without extrusion process.The influences of microstructure evolution,introduced by DC casting and thermal-mechanical processing,on the hydrogen storage performance of Mg-Ni-Gd-Y-ZnCu alloys were comprehensively explored,using analytical electron microscopy and in-situ synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction.The result shows that the extruded alloy yields higher hydrogen absorption capacity and faster hydrogen ab/desorption kinetics.As subjected to extrusion processing,theα-Mg grains in the microstructure were significantly refined and a large number of 14H type long-period stacking ordered(LPSO)phases appeared on theα-Mg matrix.After activation,there were more nanosized Gd hydride/Mg2Ni intermetallics and finer chips.These modifications synergistically enhance the hydrogen storage properties.The findings have implications for the alloy design and manufacturing of magnesiumbased hydrogen storage materials with the advantages of rapid mass production and anti-oxidation.

Inspired by the increasing demand for energy-storage capacitors in electrical and electronic systems, dielectrics with high energy-storage performance have attracted more and more attention. AgNbO_(3) -based lead-free ceramics serve as one of the most promising environmental-friendly candidates. However, their energy storage optimization is seriously limited by the low breakdown strength. Fortunately, thin film as a form of AgNbO3 materials can effectively improve the breakdown strength. In this work, AgNbO_(3)film with ∼550 nm in thickness was deposited on SrRuO_(3 )/(001)SrTiO_(3) using pulsed laser deposition. The AgNbO_(3) film reveals typical relaxor ferroelectric hysteresis loops due to the new nanopillar structure, which contributes to high breakdown strength of up to 1200 kV cm^(-1) . Benefiting from the high breakdown strength, a recoverable energy storage density of 10.3 J cm^(-3) and an energy efficiency of 72.2% are obtained in the AgNbO_(3) film, which demonstrates the promising prospect of AgNbO_(3) film for energy storage applications.

Developing efficient energy storage for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)by creating high-performance heterojunctions and understanding their interfacial interaction at the atomic/molecular level holds promise but is also challenging.Besides,sluggish reaction kinetics at low temperatures restrict the operation of SIBs in cold climates.Herein,cross-linking nanoarchitectonics of WS_(2)/Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) heterojunction,featuring built-in electric field(BIEF),have been developed,employing as a model to reveal the positive effect of heterojunction design and BIEF for modifying the reaction kinetics and electrochemical activity.Particularly,the theoretical analysis manifests the discrepancy in work functions leads to the electronic flow from the electron-rich Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) to layered WS_(2),spontaneously forming the BIEF and“ion reservoir”at the heterogeneous interface.Besides,the generation of cross-linking pathways further promotes the transportation of electrons/ions,which guarantees rapid diffusion kinetics and excellent structure coupling.Consequently,superior sodium storage performance is obtained for the WS_(2)/Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) heterojunction,with only 0.2%decay per cycle at 5.0 A g^(-1)(25℃)up to 1000 cycles and a high capacity of 293.5 mA h g^(-1)(0.1A g^(-1)after 100 cycles)even at-20℃.Importantly,the spontaneously formed BIEF,accompanied by“ion reservoir”,in heterojunction provides deep understandings of the correlation between structure fabricated and performance obtained.

Although Mg-based hydrides are extensively considered as a prospective material for solid-state hydrogen storage and clean energy carriers,their high operating temperature and slow kinetics are the main challenges for practical application.Here,a Mg-Ni based hydride,Mg_(2)NiH_(4) nanoparticles(~100 nm),with dual modification strategies of nanosizing and alloying is successfully prepared via a gas-solid preparation process.It is demonstrated that Mg_(2)NiH_(4) nanoparticles form a unique chain-like structure by oriented stacking and exhibit impressive hydrogen storage performance:it starts to release H2 at~170℃ and completes below 230℃ with a saturated capacity of 3.32 wt%and desorbs 3.14 wt% H_(2) within 1800 s at 200℃.The systematic characterizations of Mg_(2)NiH_(4) nanoparticles at different states reveal the dehydrogenation behavior and demonstrate the excellent structural and hydrogen storage stabilities during the de/hydrogenated process.This research is believed to provide new insights for optimizing the kinetic performance of metal hydrides and novel perspectives for designing highly active and stable hydrogen storage alloys.

Developing suitable electrode materials capable of tolerating severe structural deformation and overcoming sluggish reaction kinetics resulting from the large radius of potassium ion(K+)insertion is critical for practical applications of potassium-ion batteries(PIBs).Herein,a superior anode material featuring an intriguing hierarchical structure where assembled MoSSe nanosheets are tightly anchored on a highly porous micron-sized carbon sphere and encapsulated within a thin carbon layer(denoted as Cs@MoSSe@C)is reported,which can significantly boost the performance of PIBs.The assembled MoSSe nanosheets with expanded interlayer spacing and rich anion vacancy can facilitate the intercalation/deintercalation of K+and guarantee abundant active sites together with a low K+diffusion barrier.Meanwhile,the thin carbon protective layer and the highly porous carbon sphere matrix can alleviate the volume expansion and enhance the charge transport within the composite.Under these merits,the as-prepared Cs@MoSSe@C anode exhibits a high reversible capacity(431.8 mAh g^(-1) at 0.05 A g^(-1)),good rate capability(161 mAh g^(-1) at 5 A g^(-1)),and superior cyclic performance(70.5%capacity retention after 600 cycles at 1 A g^(-1)),outperforming most existing Mo-based S/Se anodes.The underlying mechanisms and origins of superior performance are elucidated by a set of correlated in-situ/ex-situ characterizations and theoretical calculations.Further,a PIB full cell based on Cs@MoSSe@C anode also exhibits an impressive electrochemical performance.This work provides some insights into developing high-performance PIBs anodes with transition-metal chalcogenides.
