Abstract
Reasonable design and synthesis of high-efficiency rare earth oxides-based materials as alternatives to noble-metal catalysts are of great significance for oxygen electrocatalysis. Herein, we report three-dimension (3D) Rosa centifolia-like CeO2 encapsulated with N-doped carbon (NC) composites (CeO2@NC) for enhancing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities. This synthetic method allows CeO2 to tune the oxygen vacancy concentration and electronic structure of a series of CeO2@NC catalysts due to its large oxygen-storage-capacity (OSC) property. Moreover, benefiting from the exposed active sites in NC as well as the synergy between CeO2 and NC, among as-prepared samples, the resultant CeO2@NC-900 delivers a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.854 V, which is more positive compared with counterpart of NC-900 (0.806 V) and even comparable to that of commercial Pt/C catalyst (0.855 V). This indicates that the ORR electrocatalytic activity of CeO2@NC-900 is significantly improved. Meanwhile, CeO2@NC-900 exhibits satisfactory performance toward OER. For practical application, the CeO2@NC-900 involved rechargeable Zn-air battery possesses excellent energy efficiency, superior stability, and large energy density (666.1 Wh kgZn-1 at 5 mA cm-2). This approach provides a valid way to develop advanced rare earth oxides-based materials for energy applications.

Abstract
The construction of high-efficiency electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution, oxygen reduction, and oxygen evolution reactions (HER/ORR/OER) is critical for the overall water splitting system, fuel cells, and rechargeable metal-air batteries. Here, we report a viable strategy for tuning the size of a Co-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF). As a result, a nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon-supported ultrafine Co nanoparticle electrocatalyst (Co/NGC-3) with multifunctional activity was developed. Owing to the smaller ZIF-67 polyhedrons with relatively uniform distribution, more effective active sites, and a strong coupling effect of Co-pyridinic-N, the proposed Co/NGC-3 catalyst exhibited an impressive HER activity. It also showed brilliant catalytic activity in both the ORR and OER, delivering a more positive half-wave potential and a lower overpotential than that of the Pt/C catalyst, respectively. Moreover, the Co/NGC-3 involved the Zn-air battery displayed satisfactory power density, excellent energy density, and superior stability. This approach provides an efficient strategy for the preparation of high-performance multifunctional electrocatalysts for energy-related applications.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2019; 380:120842. [PMID: 31326831 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.120842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2019] [Revised: 06/25/2019] [Accepted: 06/27/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
To explore the simple, facile, environmental friendly and low cost catalytic technique to decolorize harmful dye contaminants in solution and understand the mechanism is an interesting and practical research. In this paper, we provide a highly efficient and convenient method for fast decolorization of dyes (methylene blue and rhodamine B) in aqueous solution catalyzed by iron octacarboxyphthalocyanine (FeOCPc) or cobalt octacarboxyphthalocyanine (CoOCPc). Compared to the traditional methods, our method is very simple. The 30 mg/L methylene blue could be decolorized almost absolutely less than 30 min just by dispersing FeOCPc powders into the dye solution. The decolorization of rhodamine B at high concentration (30 mg/L) could be achieved to 100% decolorization degree less than 20 min in the presence of FeOCPc and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (BuOOH). Moreover, the ESR and HPLC-MS measurement were performed to determine the active radicals and various intermediates in decolorization processes and the possible catalytic mechanism was proposed. It is noted that both FeOCPc and CoOCPc catalysts show the different catalytic oxidation behaviors depending on the oxidant (O2 or BuOOH). Our investigation provides a novel, low cost and convenient strategy to purify the environmental pollutions.

Abstract
We synthesized α-Fe₂O₃ (hematite) thin films with two different nanoscopic morphologies through self-assembly between a Fe-precursor and a Pluronic tri-block copolymer (F127) followed by aging and calcination. Relative humidity (RH) during the aging step of the spin-coated films was found to be critical in determining the morphologies. A network structure of nanowires ∼6 nm in diameter formed when the RH was 75%. The resulting nanowire hematite thin film (NW) had 150-250 nm-sized macropores. When the RH was 0%, a mesoporous hematite thin film (MP) with a wormlike pore structure and a pore size of ∼9 nm formed. Investigation of the electrochemical properties of these films revealed that they had very high specific capacitances of 365.7 and 283.2 F g(-1) for NWs and MPs, respectively, at a current density of 3 A g(-1) in a 0.5 M Na₂SO₃ electrolyte. Both of these capacitance values are considerably higher than those previously reported for hematite-based electrodes. We attributed this to the high porosity of the thin films, which enables ready access of electrolyte ions to the electrode surfaces, and their ultra-thin size, comparable to that of the depletion layer, allowing the low conductivity of hematite to be overcome. The higher capacitance of NWs than MPs is likely due to the accelerated electron transport through the crystalline nanowires in NWs.

Abstract
We discuss here the state of the art on hybrid materials made from single (SWCNT) or multi (MWCNT) walled carbon nanotubes and MN4complexes such as metalloporphyrins and metallophthalocyanines. The hybrid materials have been characterized by several methods such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electrochemical microscropy (SECM). The materials are employed for electrocatalysis of reactions such as oxygen and hydrogen peroxide reduction, nitric oxide oxidation, oxidation of thiols and other pollutants.
