Vol. 5, Iss. 1

Active sites of Pt/CNTs nanocatalysts for aerobic base-free oxidation of glycerol

Minjian Pan, Jingnan Wang, Wenzhao Fu, Bingxu Chen, Jiaqi Lei, Wenyao Chen, Xuezhi Duan*, De Chen, Gang Qian*, Xinggui Zhou

We have combined the model calculations with the DFT calculations to understand the nature of the size effects in Pt/CNTs catalyzed base-free glycerol oxidation. The Pt(100) facet has been identified as the dominant active sites for both the glycerol conversion and the products formation.

Biomass-derived porous carbon highly efficient for removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II)

Anqi Wang, Zhikeng Zheng, Ruiqi Li, Di Hu, Yiran Lu, Huixia Luo*, Kai Yan*

Vol. 4, Iss. 4

Lignin-based porous carbon (LPC) with layered graphene-like structure was synthesized. LPC exhibited excellent adsorption performances for removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II). Factors affecting the Pb(II) and Cd(II) removal by LPC were examined in details. Recyclability, adsorption isotherms and kinetics of LPC were investigated.

Vol. 4, Iss. 3

Construction of highly-stable graphene hollow nanospheres and their application in supporting Pt as effective catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction

Huaifang Zhang, Jubing Zhang, Kunhao Liu, Yunqi Zhu, Xiaoyu Qiu*, Dongmei Sun, Yawen Tang*

We report a sacrificial template-based stratagem to prepare 3D highly-stable graphene hollow nanospheres supported Pt nanohybrids (3D r-GO@Pt HNSs). Benefiting from the unique structural and compositional advantages, the 3D r-GO@Pt HNSs exhibit observably enhanced ORR activity and excellent stability under acidic condition.

Ionic liquid/tetraglyme hybrid Mg[TFSI]₂ electrolytes for rechargeable Mg batteries

Zheng Ma, Maria Forsyth, Douglas R. MacFarlane, Mega Kar*

Vol. 4, Iss. 2

The electrochemical reversibility of magnesium is demonstrated from a dry hybrid electrolyte, comprised of an ionic liquid and ether-functional organic solvent. The coordinating nature of ether-functional solvents and the high stability of ionic liquids make these electrolytes attractive for high energy density rechargeable magnesium batteries.

Vol. 4, Iss. 1

Efficient hydrolysis of hemicellulose to furfural by novel superacid SO4H-functionalized ionic liquids

Wei Hui, Yan Zhou, Yan Dong, Zhi-Jun Cao, Fei-Qiang He, Min-Zhong Cai, Duan-Jian Tao*

The cover art features a novel super acidic IL ([Ch-SO4][CF3SO3]) for efficient hydrolysis of hemicellulose (derived from corn cob) to furfural with a yield of 82%.

Back Cover

High loading FeS2 nanoparticles anchored on biomass-derived carbon tube as low cost and long cycle anode for sodium-ion batteries

Kongyao Chen¹, Gaojie Li¹, Yanjie Wang, Weihua Chen*, Liwei Mi*

Vol. 5, Iss. 1

From low-cost and renewable natural herb, high loading mesh-like FeS2/carbon tube/FeS2 composites are prepared simply and exhibit outstanding sodium storage performance, which may provide green and low cost preparation method for specially structured metal sulfides/carbon composites.

Vol. 4, Iss. 3

Anion intercalated layered-double-hydroxide structure for efficient photocatalytic NO remove

Wangchen Huo, Tong Cao, Xiaoying Liu, Weina Xu, Biqin Dong, Yuxin Zhang*, Fan Dong*

Through utilizing a facile calcining and reconstructing routes, the ZnAl-LDH intercalated the single anions in the ZnAl cationic interlayer without an ionic impurities is favorably synthesized. This strategy would tune the band gap and promote the activation of NO and O₂ for improving photocatalytic NO oxidation.

Redox active ionic liquid as efficient mediator and solvent for visible light-driven B₁₂ catalytic reactions

Hisashi Shimakoshi, Noriyuki Houfuku, Li Chen, Yoshio Hisaeda*

Vol. 4, Iss. 2

A redox active ionic liquid was used as the solvent and mediator for a visible light driven catalytic reaction by the B₁₂ complex, and the catalytic efficiency was increased in the redox active ionic liquid compared to those in other solvent systems such as DMF, MeOH, and a redox inactive ionic liquid.

Vol. 4, Iss. 1

Thermal characterization of bio-based phase changing materials in decorative wood-based panels for thermal energy storage

Damien Mathis*, Pierre Blanchet, Véronic Landry, Philippe Lagière

This study was focused on assessing the thermal properties of decorative wood-based panels containing bio-based phase changing materials for thermal energy storage in buildings.
