The catalytic properties of the structured catalysts towards hydrochlorination of acetylene were tested in a fixed- bed reactor with the AuCl3 loaded on activated carbon pellets as a reference. For isopyknic catalysts, the structured catalyst with only one fifth of the Au amount as that was used on the reference catalyst exhibited even a little higher acetylene conversion and much better stability than the latter no matter what the gas hourly space velocities of acetylene were used. The results indicated that the more homogeneous distribution of AuCl3 particles and better heat transfer along the fixed-bed reactor originated from the low pressure drop and high thermal conductivity of the SiC foam supported structured catalysts might be able to account for their improved efficiency and stability. It is befieved that these novel structured C/Au catalysts can be potentially applied in VCM industrialization in view of their greatly reduced cost and much prolonged life.展开更多

The thin birnessite MnO_2 nanosheets hydrothermally deposited on mesocarbon microbeads are in situ replaced by polypyrrole,which is then transformed to nitrogen-doped amorphous carbon layer by calcination in nitrogen atmosphere. The surface modified mesocarbon microbeads exhibit average discharge capacities of 444 and103 m A h g^(-1) at the current densities of 0.1 and 3 A g^(-1) , respectively, obvious higher than the corresponding values of the bare sample, 371 and 60 mA h g^(-1) . Moreover, the composite anode maintains a discharge capacity of 306 mA h g^(-1) after 500 cycles at 1 A g^(-1) , suggesting an excellent cycle stability. It is believed that the nitrogen-doped amorphous carbon layer has provided additional lithium storage capacity and stabilized the structure integrity of mesocarbon microbeads. This work demonstrates that the capacity and rate performance of commercial graphitic carbons can be much improved by simply introducing a nitrogen-doped carbon coating layer active for Li storage, making them attractive for high power Li-ion batteries.展开更多

The LiMn2O4 inherited the spherical morphology of the polymeric precursor but showed hollow porous structure assembled by nanocrystals of about 50–100 nm in size. When tested as cathode of Li-ion batteries, the LiMn2O4 hollow spheres exhibited excellent rate capability and cycle stability.A discharge capacity of above 90 mAh g-1was maintained at 10 C(1C = 120 mAg-1), and the cells can still deliver a discharge capacity over 100 mAhg-1after another 115 cycles at 0.5 C. With such excellent electrochemical properties, the prepared LiMn2O4 hollow microspheres could be promising cathode of Li-ion batteries for long term and high power applications.展开更多

The microstructure, composition and compression strength of the prepared TiC/Ti foam materials were characterized. It was confirmed that the incorporation of Ti into TiC resulted in an inter-bonded Ti-TiC-Ti layered structure in the struts, which enhanced the plasticity of the composite foam materials.展开更多

Nano-TiO2 particles were immobilized onto these SiC foam supports by a composite sol-gel method. The phase, surface morphology, the type of conduction and the photocatalytic activity of the TiO2-SiC composite photocatalysts were studied. The TiO2 coated on p-type Si-free SiC support showed the highest photocatalytic efficiency in degradation of 4- aminobenzenesulfonic acid (4-ABS) in aqueous solution as compared to that coated on n-type SiC support and p-type SiC supports with residual Si or Si02 on the surface. The result showed that the TiO2 coatings immobilized on p-type semiconductive SiC foam supports exhibited obviously higher photocatalytic activity in comparison to that coated on n-type SiC foam support. The p-n heterojunctions formed between the p-type SiC supports and n-type TiO2 coatings might be able to account for the better charge separation and transfer as well as the photocatalytic activity of the TiO2-SiC composite photocatalyst.展开更多

The size effects of TiO2 polymorphs (mainly rutile, anatase and TiO2-B) on their electrochemical performance and the latest efforts in nanoengineering titania anodes through enhancing their ionic or electronic transportation or both are reviewed in this work. We suppose that micron- or submicron- sized porous structures assembled by TiO2 nanoparticles, nanowires/nanotubes or nanosheets with a high percentage of exposing high reactive facets together with a conductive percolating network are ideal anodes not only for high rate lithium storage but also for high packing densities of the active materials.展开更多
