The results show that the vanadium leaching efficiency is 84% when the sample is roasted at 800℃ for 30 min by microwave irradiation and the H2SO4 concentration, liquid/solid ratio, leaching temperature, and leaching time are set as 20vo1%, 1.5:1 mL.g-1, 95℃, and 8 h, respectively. However, the vanadium leaching efficiency achieved for the sample subjected to conventional roasting at 900℃ for 60 min is just 71% under the same leaching conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis shows that the microwave roasted samples contain more cracks and that the particles are more porous compared to the conventionally roasted samples. According to the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analyses, neither of these roasting methods could completely destroy the mica lattice structure under the experimental conditions; however, both methods deformed the muscovite structure and facilitated the leaching process. Comparing with conventional roasting, microwave roasting causes a greater deformation of the mineral structure at a lower temperature for a shorter roasting time.展开更多

The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) in H2. Catalytic behaviour of the materials over anaerobic n-butane oxidation was studied through temperature-programmed reaction (TPRn). Catalytic evaluation of the sonochemical treated V2O5 products was also studied on microreactor. XRD patterns of all the vanadium samples were perfectly indexed to V2O5. The morphologies of the nanorod vanadium oxides as shown in SEM and TEM depended on the duration of the ultrasound irradiation. Prolonging the ultrasound irradiation duration resulted in materials with uniform, well defined shapes and surface structures and smaller size of nanorod vanadium oxide bundles. H2-TPR profiles showed that larger amount of oxygen species were removed from the nanorod V2O5 compared to the bulk. Furthermore, the nanorod vanadium oxide bundles, which were produced after 90, 120 and 180 min of sonochemical treatment, showed an additional reduction peak at lower temperature (-850 K), suggesting the presence of some highly active oxygen species. TPRn in n-butane/He over these materials showed that the nanorod V2O5 with highly active oxygen species showed markedly higher activity than the bulk material, which was further proven by catalytic oxidation of n-butane.展开更多

This method involves two procedures: low-temperature roasting of vanadium-bearing titanomagnetite and water leaching of roasting slag. During the roasting process, the reduction of iron oxides to metallic iron, the sodium oxidation of vanadium oxides to water-soluble sodium vanadate, and the smelting separation of metallic iron and slag were accomplished simultaneously. Optimal roasting conditions for iron/slag separation were achieved with a mixture thickness of 42.5 mm, a roasting temperature of 1200°C, a residence time of 2 h, a molar ratio of C/O of 1.7, and a sodium carbonate addition of 70 wt%, as well as with the use of anthracite as a reductant. Under the optimal conditions, 93.67% iron from the raw ore was recovered in the form of iron nugget with 95.44% iron grade. After a water leaching process, 85.61% of the vanadium from the roasting slag was leached, confirming the sodium oxidation of most of the vanadium oxides to water-soluble sodium vanadate during the roasting process. The total recoveries of iron, vanadium, and titanium were 93.67%, 72.68%, and 99.72%, respectively.展开更多

In order to compare with the numerical model, N-doped VOx films are prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering from a metallic vanadium target immersed in a reactive gas mixture of Ar+O2+N2. Both experimental and numerical results show that the addition of N2 to the process alleviates the hysteresis effect with respect to the oxygen supply. Film compositions obtained from the XPS analysis are compared to the numerical results and the agreement is satisfactory. The results also show that the compound of VN is only found at very low O concentration because of the replacement reaction of VN by O2 atoms with higher oxygen flow rate.展开更多

文摘A novel imidazole-functionalized dioxovanadium complex [V2O2(C2O4)(aIM)4] (aIM =1-allylimidazole) was synthesized by the reaction of VO(acac)2 with 1-allylimidazole and fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD),powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and elemental analyses.Interestingly,the oxalate was in-situ generated from the acetylacetone anion of VO(acac)2 and further coordinated with the vanadium cation and finally complex 1 was achieved.The crystal of complex 1 belongs to the monoclinic system,space group P21/n with a =10.7922(9),b =10.6296(8),c =13.2936(11) (A),μ =0.677 mm^-1,Mr =686.48,V =1516.9(2) A^3,Z =2,Dc =1.503 g/cm^3,F(000) =708,R =0.0543,and wR =0.1517 for 2459 observed reflections with Ⅰ 〉 2σ(Ⅰ).Notably,complex 1 is further used as catalyst in the oxidation of sulfides using H2O2 as the oxidant and exhibits excellent catalytic performance (conv.up to 95.6%,sele.up to 98.9%).

文摘Niobium pentoxide(Nb_(2)O_(5))anodes have gained increasing attentions for high-power lithium-ion batteries owing to the outstanding rate capability and high safety.However,Nb2O5 anode suffers poor cycle stability even after modified and the unrevealed mechanisms have restricted the practical applications.Herein,the over-reduction of Nb5+has been demonstrated to be the critical reason for the capacity loss for the first time.Besides,an effective competitive redox strategy has been developed to solve the rapid capacity decay of Nb_(2)O_(5),which can be achieved by the incorporation of vanadium to form a new rutile VNbO_(4)anode.The highly reversible V^(3+)/V^(2+)redox couple in VNbO_(4)can effectively inhibit the over-reduction of Nb^(5+).Besides,the electron migration from V^(3+)to Nb5+can greatly increase the intrinsic electronic conductivity for VNbO4.As a result,VNbO4 anode delivers a high capacity of 206.1 mAh g^(−1)at 0.1 A g^(−1),as well as remarkable cycle performance with a retention of 93.4%after 2000 cycles at 1.0 A g^(−1).In addition,the assembled lithium-ion capacitor demonstrates a high energy density of 44 Wh kg^(−1)at 5.8 kW kg^(−1).In summary,our work provides a new insight into the design of ultra-fast and durable anodes.

文摘With the rise of aqueous multivalent rechargeable batteries,inorganic-organic hybrid cathodes have attracted more and more attention due to the complement of each other’s advantages.Herein,a strategy of designing hybrid cathode is adopted for high efficient aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs).Methylene blue(MB)intercalated vanadium oxide(HVO-MB)was synthesized through sol-gel and ion exchange method.Compared with other organic-inorganic intercalation cathode,not only can the MB intercalation enlarge the HVO interlayer spacing to improve ion mobility,but also provide coordination reactions with the Zn^(2+)to enhance the intrinsic electrochemical reaction kinetics of the hybrid electrode.As a key component for the cathode of AZIBs,HVO-MB contributes a specific capacity of 418 mA h g^(-1) at 0.1 A g^(-1),high rate capability(243 mA h g^(-1) at 5 A g^(-1))and extraordinary stability(88%of capacity retention after 2000cycles at a high current density of 5 A g^(-1))in 3 M Zn(CF_(3)SO_(3))_(2) aqueous electrolyte.The electrochemical kinetics reveals HVO-MB characterized with large pseudocapacitance charge storage behavior due to the fast ion migration provided by the coordination reaction and expanded interlayer distance.Furthermore,a mixed energy storage mechanism involving Zn^(2+)insertion and coordination reaction is confirmed by various ex-situ characterization.Thus,this work opens up a new path for constructing the high performance cathode of AZIBs through organic-inorganic hybridization.

文摘Experiments comparing microwave blank roasting and conventional blank roasting for typical vanadium-bearing stone coal from Hubei Province in central China, in which vanadium is present in muscovite, were conducted to investigate the effects of roasting tempera- ture, roasting time, H2SO4 concentration, and leaching time on vanadium extraction. The results show that the vanadium leaching efficiency is 84% when the sample is roasted at 800℃ for 30 min by microwave irradiation and the H2SO4 concentration, liquid/solid ratio, leaching temperature, and leaching time are set as 20vo1%, 1.5:1 mL.g-1, 95℃, and 8 h, respectively. However, the vanadium leaching efficiency achieved for the sample subjected to conventional roasting at 900℃ for 60 min is just 71% under the same leaching conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis shows that the microwave roasted samples contain more cracks and that the particles are more porous compared to the conventionally roasted samples. According to the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analyses, neither of these roasting methods could completely destroy the mica lattice structure under the experimental conditions; however, both methods deformed the muscovite structure and facilitated the leaching process. Comparing with conventional roasting, microwave roasting causes a greater deformation of the mineral structure at a lower temperature for a shorter roasting time.

文摘The emergency of high-power electrical appliances has put forward higher requirements for the power density of lithium-ion batteries.Vanadium oxides with large theoretical capacities and high operating voltages are considered as prospective alternatives for the cathode of a new generation of lithium-ion batteries.However,the poor rate and cycling performance caused by the sluggish electrons/lithium transportation,irreversible phase changes,vanadium dissolution and large volume changes during the repeated lithium intercalation/deintercalation hinder their commercial development.Several optimizing routes have been carried out and extensively explored to address these problems.Taking V_(2)O_(5),VO_(2)(B),V_(6)O_(13),and V_(2)O_(3)as examples,this article reviewed their crystal structures and lithium storage reactions.Besides,recent progress in modification methods for the electrochemical insufficiencies of vanadium oxides,including nanostructure,heterogeneous atom doping,composite and self-supported electrodes has been systematically summarized and finally,the challenges for the industrialization of vanadium oxide cathodes and their development opportunities are proposed.

文摘A new layered vanadium oxide [ NH3 ( CH2 )2NH( CH2 )2NH3 ] [ V6O14 ] ( compound 1 ) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrometry and single crystal X ray diffraction.

文摘Self-assembled nanorod of vanadium oxide bundles were synthesized by treating bulk V2O5 with high intensity sonochemical technique. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) in H2. Catalytic behaviour of the materials over anaerobic n-butane oxidation was studied through temperature-programmed reaction (TPRn). Catalytic evaluation of the sonochemical treated V2O5 products was also studied on microreactor. XRD patterns of all the vanadium samples were perfectly indexed to V2O5. The morphologies of the nanorod vanadium oxides as shown in SEM and TEM depended on the duration of the ultrasound irradiation. Prolonging the ultrasound irradiation duration resulted in materials with uniform, well defined shapes and surface structures and smaller size of nanorod vanadium oxide bundles. H2-TPR profiles showed that larger amount of oxygen species were removed from the nanorod V2O5 compared to the bulk. Furthermore, the nanorod vanadium oxide bundles, which were produced after 90, 120 and 180 min of sonochemical treatment, showed an additional reduction peak at lower temperature (-850 K), suggesting the presence of some highly active oxygen species. TPRn in n-butane/He over these materials showed that the nanorod V2O5 with highly active oxygen species showed markedly higher activity than the bulk material, which was further proven by catalytic oxidation of n-butane.

文摘An innovative method for recovering valuable elements from vanadium-bearing titanomagnetite is proposed. This method involves two procedures: low-temperature roasting of vanadium-bearing titanomagnetite and water leaching of roasting slag. During the roasting process, the reduction of iron oxides to metallic iron, the sodium oxidation of vanadium oxides to water-soluble sodium vanadate, and the smelting separation of metallic iron and slag were accomplished simultaneously. Optimal roasting conditions for iron/slag separation were achieved with a mixture thickness of 42.5 mm, a roasting temperature of 1200°C, a residence time of 2 h, a molar ratio of C/O of 1.7, and a sodium carbonate addition of 70 wt%, as well as with the use of anthracite as a reductant. Under the optimal conditions, 93.67% iron from the raw ore was recovered in the form of iron nugget with 95.44% iron grade. After a water leaching process, 85.61% of the vanadium from the roasting slag was leached, confirming the sodium oxidation of most of the vanadium oxides to water-soluble sodium vanadate during the roasting process. The total recoveries of iron, vanadium, and titanium were 93.67%, 72.68%, and 99.72%, respectively.
文摘An original numerical model, based on the standard Berg model, is used to simulate the growth mechanism of Ndoped VOx deposited with changing oxygen flow in the reactive gas mixture. In order to compare with the numerical model, N-doped VOx films are prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering from a metallic vanadium target immersed in a reactive gas mixture of Ar+O2+N2. Both experimental and numerical results show that the addition of N2 to the process alleviates the hysteresis effect with respect to the oxygen supply. Film compositions obtained from the XPS analysis are compared to the numerical results and the agreement is satisfactory. The results also show that the compound of VN is only found at very low O concentration because of the replacement reaction of VN by O2 atoms with higher oxygen flow rate.
