MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:2965. [PMID: 38930334 PMCID: PMC11205473 DOI: 10.3390/ma17122965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
The urgent removal of Cd, Co, and Ni from nitrate and sulfate is essential to mitigate the potential risk of chemical pollution from large volumes of industrial wastewater. In this study, these metal ions were rapidly recovered through applying voltage on nitrate and sulfate, utilizing laser-induced graphene/polyimide (LIG/PI) film as the electrode. Following the application of external voltage, both the pH value and conductivity of the solution undergo changes. Compared to Co2+ and Ni2+, Cd2+ exhibits a lower standard electrode potential and stronger reducibility. Consequently, in both nitrate and sulfate solutions, the reaction sequence follows the order of Cd2+ > Co2+ > Ni2+, with the corresponding electrode adsorption quantities in the order of Cd2+ > Co2+ ~ Ni2+. Additionally, using the recovered Co(OH)2 as the raw material, a LiCoO2 composite was prepared. The assembled battery with this composite exhibited a specific capacity of 122.8 mAh g-1, meeting practical application requirements. This research has significance for fostering green development.

Abstract
Due to the great advantages of low cost, high capacity, and excellent safety, the Zn metal is a promising candidate material for rechargeable aqueous battery systems. However, its practical applications have been restricted by the uncontrollable dendrite growth and electrode side reactions (such as corrosion, passivation, and hydrogen evolution reactions) during the plating process. Herein, we reveal that the dendrite growth would expose the electrode to more highly active tips, exacerbating the passivation of the electrode and the decomposition of the electrolyte by in situ optical microscopies. We propose a low-cost, nontoxic, low-concentration (less than 1 g/L), and effective electrolyte additive, saccharin sodium, which can guide an even Zn deposition without obvious electrode side reactions in the charge/discharge process. The saccharin anion acts as a "traffic assistant" of Zn2+ and demonstrates its great potential for practical application. The assembled Zn symmetrical battery shows an excellent cycling performance at a high current density and capacity (an extremely long cycle life over 3800 h is obtained at 5 mA/cm2 and 8 mA h/cm2, and 20 mA/cm2 and 5 mA h/cm2 show a lifetime over 800 h), and the full cell (coupled to an AC electrode) presents a stable cycle life with a capacity retention of 86.4% even after 8000 cycles at 5 mA/cm2. The saccharin sodium proposed in this work is promising to solve the anode problems in advanced Zn batteries.

Abstract
Cobalt-Nickel (Co-Ni) alloy coatings were prepared by jet electrodeposition on brass substrate under different Co2+/Ni2+ ratio contents (M = 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3) and solution flow rates (from 2.0 to 4.5 L/min). The surface morphology, element content, and phase structure of the coating were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The hardness and wear resistance of the coatings were also measured. The results showed that the Co content in coatings was greater than 70%, no matter at what flow rate and concentration. With an increase of the flow rate, the Co content in the coating increases, and the grain size on the surface of the coating decreases, which leads to increased hardness of the coating. However, the flow rate of the plating solution has little effect on the grain growth orientation, and the phase structure is dominated by the elemental content of the coating. The coatings are in a single phase of hexagonal close-packed (HCP) when the Co content is more than 80%, while the coatings are in dual phases of the HCP and face-centered cubic (FCC) when the Co content is less than 80%. With an increase in the Co content, the grain size decreases, and consequently, the hardness and wear resistance of the alloy increase. A Co-Ni alloy coating with stable composition can be obtained when the ratio of Co2+ to Ni2+ is 2:1.
