Preparation of micro-nano hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres containing MnFe_2O_4 absorbent by self-reactive quenching method

Fe–Fe2O3–MnO2–sucrose–epoxy resin and O2 as reaction system and feed gas,separately,were used to prepare micro-nano hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres containing MnFe2O4absorbent by self-reactive quenching method which is integrated with flame jet,selfpropagating high-temperature synthesis(SHS),and rapidly solidification.The morphologies and phase compositions of hollow microspheres were studied by scanning electron microscope(SEM),transmission electron microscope(TEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and energy dispersive spectroscopy.The results show that the quenching products are regular spherical substantially with hollow structure,particle size is between few hundreds nanometers and 5 lm.Phase compositions are diphase of Fe3O4,Mn3O4,and MnFe2O4,and the spinel soft magnetic ferrite MnFe2O4 with microwave magnetic properties is in majority.Collisions with each other,burst as well as‘‘refinement’’of agglomerate powders in flame field may be the main reasons for the formation of micro-nano hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres containing MnFeOabsorbent.

In situ regulating intimately connected heterostructure by decomposition of solid solution oxides toward high-efficient water oxidation

Heterogeneous interfaces produced by interdomain interactions on a nanoscale performs a crucial role in boosting the properties of an electrocatalyst toward oxygen evolution reaction(OER)process.Herein,a series of dual-phase electrodes with intimately connected heterointerfaces are prepared by in situ decomposing solid solution oxide of Ni_(x)Co_(y)Fe_(100-x-y)O,which grew on Ni foam massively via an ultrafast combustion approach.Particularly,with high-reaction kinetics caused by the reduction treatment at 450℃,the less electronegative Fe and Co are more oxyphilic than Ni,which facilitated their co-exsolution and formation of CoFe_2O_4/NiO oxide with enriched oxygen vacancies.Benefiting from the nanoporous framework,heterojunction structure,and oxygen defects,the self-supporting electrodes present rapid charge/mass transmission and provide abundant active sites for OER.The optimized sample(R-SNCF4.5)shows low overpotentials of 226 and 324 mV at 10 and100 mA·cm^(-2),a small Tafel slope(46.7 mV·dec^(-1)),and excellent stability.The assembled R-SNCF4.5//Pt/C/NF electrolyzer demonstrates continuous electrolysis over 50 h at a current density of 10 mA·cm^(-2),under 1.51 V.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations verify that the strong electronic modulation plays a critical part in the CoFe_2O_4/NiO hybrid by lowering the energy barriers for the ratedetermining steps,and Fe sites are the most active OER sites.

Review on Intrinsic Electrocatalytic Activity of Transition Metal Nitrides on HER

Hydrogen energy is considered as an ideal energy with the advantages of green,sustainability,and high energy density,and water splitting is one of the efficient strategies for green hydrogen without carbon emission.As for cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction(HER),besides the Pt-based electrocatalysts with excellent electrocatalytic activities on HER,transition metal nitrides(TMNs)as cheap and facile-prepared electrocatalysts have shown remarkable electrocatalytic activities.Incorporation of N atom in metal interstitial lattice results in the unique structure of TMN with high electronic conductivity,strong chemical stability,and d-band contraction.Although the intrinsic electrocatalytic activities of TMNs are mostly lower than those of Pt,it also attracted much attention to the development of TMN with higher intrinsic activity by electronic structure modulation.Here,we review the recent improvement strategies for the intrinsic electrocatalytic activities of TMN catalysts on HER by electronic structure modulation,such as facet,alloying,doping,vacancy,heterostructure,and hybridization.Some important breakthroughs of TMNs have been made;however,the scale application of TMNs with high activity in commercial water electrolyzer is urgent to explore.The future development of TMNs is proposed to focus on developing facile synthesis methods,elucidating regulation mechanism and catalytic mechanism,and enhancing activity and stability.

Preparation of hollow ceramic microspheres absorbent based on self-reactive quenching technology

A1 ＋ BaO2 ＋ Fe2O3 ＋ sucrose and O2 as reaction system and feeding gas, respectively, are used to prepare hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres （HMCMs） absorbent based on self-reactive quenching technology. The morphologies, particle size distribution, hollow structure and phase compositions were characterized by scanning electron microscope （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and size analysis. The results show that the quenching products possess high sphere-forming rate, and most of them are hollow structures. Owing to the self-burst, the particle size is between 40 and 70 μm. The phase compositions contain Al2O3, Fe3O4, Fe2O3, Ba2Fe14O22, BaO2 and BaFe4O7. The microwave absorbing tests show that the lowest reflectivity of HMCMs is -19 dB. The frequency bands less than -10 dB are from 13.0 to 15.8 GHz. The reasons for HMCMs possessing good microwave absorbing properties may be their magnetic and electrical properties as well as special hollow structure.
