Preparation Of Coo/Rgo@Ni Foam Electrode And Its Electrocatalytic Reduction Of Co2, Qian Guo, Jia-Long Fu, Cheng-Yan Zhang, Chao-Yue Cai, Cheng Wang, Li-Hua Zhou, Rui-Bo Xu, Ming-Yan Wang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The worldwide extensive release of carbon dioxide (CO2) has caused serious environmental pollution and unprecedented climate change problems. Thus, for the sustainable development of human society, it is very necessary to convert CO2 to renewable fuels through clean and economical processes. The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is regarded as a promising approach for the recycling of carbon resource and the generation of sustainable fuels. However, the slow kinetics and formation of multiple products in CO2RR hinder its large-scale application. Hence, great research efforts are made to develop electrocatalysts with high product …

Preparation And Electrocatalytic Performance Of Nico2O4/Ni Foam For Hydrogen Peroxide Electrooxidation, Wei-Wei Chen, Fei-Fan Zhang, Jia-Liang Du, Yi Wang, Chun-Lin Zhao, Kai Zhu, Dian-Xue Cao, Gui-Ling Wang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electrodes of Ni foam supported NiCo2O4 nanowires were prepared by hydrothermal method, followed by a thermal treatment in air, and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the NiCo2O4 nanowires had a diameter of about 50 nm with a length up to 3 ~ 5 μm. The catalytic performances of the Ni foam supported NiCo2O4 nanowires for H2O2 electrooxidation were studied by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The results show that the Ni foam supported NiCo …

Superhydrophobic Surface On Aluminum Alloy By Hydrothermal Method And Its Electrochemical Performance, Xiao-Hang Chen, Mo-Jing Chen, Yu-Lin Min, Qun-Jie Xu

Journal of Electrochemistry

Superhydrophobic film formed on a metal surface is an effective way for corrosion protection. In this paper, the superhydrophobic film was prepared on the surfaces of aluminum alloy by hydrothermally treating with a solution containing CeCl3·7H2O and CO(NH2)2 , and a self-assemble process. The electrochemical measurements and surface morphology results confirmed that the best superhydrophobicity and electrochemical performance could be achieved with the contact angle of 155.5o after six hours of hydrothermal reaction. Furthermore, the inhibition efficiency of 99.6% was obtained in 3.5 wt% NaCl aqueous solution, indicating the excellent corrosion resistance …

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

Magnetism and catalytic activity of nanoscale layered two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have gained an increasing research interest in the recent past. To broaden the current knowledge and understanding on this subject, in this work, together with my collaborators, I study the magnetic and electrocatalytic properties of hydrothermally grown pristine and transition metal doped (10% of Co, Ni, Fe and Mn) 2H-MoS2 nanosheets/nanocrystals (NCs), with the particle size of 25-30 nm. A broad range of experimental measurements such as x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray photo absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, magnetic, catalytic and electron spin resonance have been employed …

Hydrothermal Synthesis Of Pure Li4Ti5O12 And Its Electrochemical Performance, Wen-Jun Xie, Yu-Shi He, Hong Wang, Xiao-Zhen Liao, Zi-Feng Ma

Journal of Electrochemistry

Spinel Li4Ti5O12 was prepared by hydrothermal method using commercial anatase (TiO2) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH) as raw materials. The effects of the LiOH concentration of lithium hydroxide, hydrothermal reaction time and calcination temperature on the structure and electrochemical performance of Li4Ti5O12 were investigated. The formation process of Li4Ti5O12 was also proposed. The micro-structure and morphology wereas characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM techniques, and the electrochemical performance was analyzed by galvanostatic charge-discharge test. The results show that the pure phase spinel Li4Ti5O12 can be …

solid solutions were synthesized for the first time by the hydrothermal method. The electrical properties of the solid solutions have been studied in air and under reducing conditions. Solid solutions with the fluorite structure were formed in all of the studied range of substitution after calcination at 1500°C. With increasing substitution up to 30 mol %, the electronic conductivity increases under a reducing atmosphere. The solid solution has good mixed electronic and ionic conductivity; the total conductivity is 0.42 S/cm at and 700°C with an estimated ionic conductivity of ca. .
