Using activated carbon as particle electrode, the effects of p H value, reaction temperature, electrolysis time and current on residual concentration of total organic carbon(TOC) were discussed in detail. The optimal conditions were obtained: pH 2.5, influent flow rate of 200 mL/min, 25 °C, 300 mA and 2h of electrolysis time, and the removal efficiency of TOC maintains at 35.57 %. The results of the electrochemical method indicate that ·OH radicals are produced in activated carbon anode in the electrolysis process and then adsorbed on the activated carbon surface. Microcell consists of ·OH radicals and the absorbed lignin. With the microcell reaction, the lignin is degraded, while the anodic polarized curve illustrates that the lignin is obviously oxidized in the anode. The contributions of direct and indirect electrolyses to the TOC removal ratio are about 50%, respectively.展开更多

The kinetic model of o-chloronitrobenzene degradation was studied, and the effects of pH, electrolysis time, particle electrode, electrolyte concentration, and initial concentration of the solution on degradation efficiency were investigated to determine the optimal operating conditions. The degradation of o-chloronitrobenzene by oxidation at the TDE was monitored by chemical oxygen demand(COD) measurements, UV-Vis absorption, and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). COD degradation by electrochemical degradation followed pseudo-first order kinetics with respect to the concentration of o-chloronitrobenzene solutions. Optimal reaction conditions included 15 g of activated carbon as the particle electrode, 400 mg/L o-chloronitrobenzene solution containing 0.10 mol/L Na2SO4, pH=3, and 60 min of electrolysis. The UV-Vis absorption spectra and HPLC results illustrate that the benzene ring in o-chloronitrobenzene was rapidly broken down to form aliphatic substances through electrochemical degradation. COD degradation was approximately 98.5% at optimal conditions.展开更多

The anodic constant potential method is employed to deposit manganese oxide as electroactive substances on the micro-electrode surface. Cyclic voltammetry and constant current charge-discharge method are both used to prepare electrode electrochemical performance testing, with a two-dimensional electrode without structure for comparison. Experimental results show that three-dimensional elec- trode structure can effectively enhance the charge storage capacity. At 1.0 mA/cm2 charge- discharge density, the three-dimensional electrode shows a capacitance of 17.88 mF/cm2, seven times higher than the two-dimensional electrode.展开更多

文摘Organic electrochemical transistors(OECTs)have garnered significant interest due to their ability to facilitate both ionic and electronic transport.A large proportion of research efforts thus far have focused on investigating high-performance materials that can serve as mixed ion doping and charge transport layers.However,relatively less attention has been given to the gateelectrode materials,which play a critical role in controlling operational voltage,redox processes,and stability,especially in the context of semiconductor-based OECTs working in accumulation mode.Moreover,the demand for planarity and flexibility in modern bioelectronic devices presents significant challenges for the commonly used Ag/AgCl electrodes in OECTs.Herein,we report the construction of high-performance accumulation-mode OECTs by utilizing a gate electrode made of three-dimensional(3D)-printed graphene oxide.The 3D-printed graphene oxide electrode incorporating one-dimensional(1D)carbon nanotubes,is directly printed using an aqueous-based ink and showcases exceptional mechanical flexibility and porosity properties,enabling high-throughput preparation for both top gates and integrated planar architecture,as well as fast ion/charge transport.OECTs with high performance comparable to that of Ag/AgCl-gated OECTs are thus achieved and present promising feasibility for electrocardiograph(ECG)signal recording.This provides a promising choice for the application of flexible bioelectronics in medical care and neurological recording.

文摘Radical-containing porous organic polymers(POPs)have drawn great interest in various applications.However,the synthesis of radical POPs remains challenging due to the unstable nature of organic radicals.Here,a persistent and stable three-dimensional silicon-diacetylene porous organic radical polymer was synthesized via a classic Eglinton homocoupling reaction of tetraethynylsilane.The presence of carbon radicals in this material was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance,and its paramagnetic behavior was analyzed by a superconducting quantum interference device.This unique material has a low-lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO)energy level(−5.47 eV)and a small energy gap(ca.1.46 eV),which shows long-term cycling stability and excellent rate capability as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries,demonstrating potential application in energy fields.

文摘Activated carbon after saturated adsorption of EDTA was used as particle electrode in a three-dimensional electrode reactor to treat EDTA-containing wastewater.Electrochemical method was used to regenerate activated carbon after many times of electrolysis.Based on the analysis of infrared spectra of activated carbon after adsorption and repeated electrolysis,EDTA was degraded into glycine,and then non-catalytic activated associated complex was formed with N—H bond on the activated carbon.The catalytic ability of the activated carbon vanished and the EDTA degradation efficiency was dropped.Activated carbon could be effectively regenerated by electrochemical method in the three-dimensional reactor.Effects of electric current,conductivity and pH on activated carbon regeneration were investigated,and the optimum conditions were concluded as follows:100-300 mA of current intensity,1.39 mS/cm of electric conductivity,60 min of electrolysis time and pH 6.0-8.0.Under the optimized conditions,the activity of the activated carbon can be recovered and the residual total organic carbon(TOC) was below 10 mg/L(the initial TOC was 200 mg/L) in the three-dimensional electrode reactor.
