Abstract
The development of Li-CO2/O2 battery with high energy density and long-term stability is urgently needed to fulfill the carbon neutralization and pollution-free environment targets. The biomass-derived heteroatom-doped carbon catalyst with the combination of high-efficiency catalytic activity and sustainable supply is a promising cathode catalyst in Li-CO2/O2 battery. Specifically, the unique morphology and mesopore structure can promote the transfer of CO2, O2, and Li+. Abundant channel pores can provide discharge products accommodation to the largest extent. Nitrogen dopant, the commonly recognized active sites in carbon, can improve the electron conductivity and accelerate the sluggish kinetic reaction. Therefore, utilizing the louts leaves as the precursor, we successfully prepare the cellular-like nitrogen-doped activated carbon nanosheets (N-CNs) through the appropriate pyrolysis carbonization method. The as-synthesized carbon nanosheets display a three-dimensional interconnecting pore structure and abundant N-dopant actives, which dramatically improve the electrochemical catalytic activity of N-CNs. The Li-CO2/O2 battery with the N-CNs cathode delivers a high discharge capacity of 9825 mAh g−1, low overpotential of 1.21 V, and stable cycling performance of 95 cycles. Thus, we carry out a facile method for N-doped carbon nanosheets preparation derived from the cheap natural biomass, which can be the effective cathode catalyst for environmental-friendly Li-CO2/O2 battery.

Lai BL, Wei HX, Luo ZN, Zheng T, Lin YH, Liu ZQ, Li N. ZIF-8-derived Cu, N co-doped carbon as a bifunctional cathode catalyst for enhanced performance of microbial fuel cell. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 856:159083. [PMID: 36191712 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 09/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The development of bifunctional catalysts is an effective way to simultaneously address the slow kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the cathode and biofilm contamination in the microbial fuel cells (MFC). Cu-N/C@Cu composites were synthesized as bifunctional cathode catalysts for MFC by doping, adsorption, and two calcinations by using Cu-ZIF-8 as the precursor. The higher Cu-Nx content confers excellent ORR catalytic activity to the optimized Cu-N/C@Cu-2 catalyst. The half-wave potential for Cu-N/C@Cu-2 in a neutral solution is 0.67 V vs. RHE, which is close to that of commercial 20% Pt/C (0.70 V vs. RHE). The maximum power density of the MFCs assembled with Cu-N/C@Cu-2 reached 581 ± 13 mW m-2, which is even better than that using Pt/C (499 ± 13 mW m-2). Moreover, the results of antimicrobial activity and biomass test show that the higher Cu content made Cu-N/C@Cu-2 effective against the contamination of cathode biofilm. And the 16S rDNA results find that the community structure of the biofilm is favorable for the power production and purification of MFC. This work shows that copper-based materials can be used as potential bifunctional catalysts to promote MFC applications in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The role of the cathode catalyst is crucial in a single chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) to overcome the energy barrier. The present work aims todevelop a metal-free cathode catalyst from anagro-waste, areca nut husk and to evaluate its performance in MFC. Activated carbon with amorphous graphitic structure was synthesised at a pyrolysis temperature of 500 °C from the areca nut husk. The surface area of activated carbon is 1261.6 m2/g with an average particle size of 35.23 μm. The electrochemical characterisation of the cathode in oxygen saturated atmosphere reveals, a loading rate of 5 mg/cm2 possesses an equivalent conductivity to that of Pt catalyst. An Open Circuit voltage of 864 mV with a power density of 590 mW/m2 and a current density of 1.03517 A/m2 at 611.8 Ω was obtained. These results make the novel metal free catalyst a potential alternative to metal-based catalysts.

Abstract
: Although microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been developed over the past decade, they still have a low power production bottleneck for practical engineering due to the ineffective interfacial bioelectrochemical reaction between exoelectrogens and anode surfaces using traditional carbonaceous materials. Constructing anodes from biomass is an effective strategy to tackle the current challenges and improve the efficiency of MFCs. The advantage features of these materials come from the well-decorated aspect with an enriched functional group, the turbostratic nature, and porous structure, which is important to promote the electrocatalytic behavior of anodes in MFCs. In this review article, the three designs of biomass-derived carbon anodes based on their final products (i.e., biomass-derived nanocomposite carbons for anode surface modification, biomass-derived free-standing three-dimensional carbon anodes, and biomass-derived carbons for hybrid structured anodes) are highlighted. Next, the most frequently obtained carbon anode morphologies, characterizations, and the carbonization processes of biomass-derived MFC anodes were systematically reviewed. To conclude, the drawbacks and prospects for biomass-derived carbon anodes are suggested.

Abstract
Using chicken manure as raw material to prepare activated carbon as a dispersant, a novel biochar-loaded nano-zerovalent iron composite (nZVI@CMBC) was developed and applied to remove hexavalent chromium, i.e., Cr(VI), in wastewater. The dispersion of nano-zerovalent iron (nZVI) particles on the surface of chicken manure–derived biochar (CMBC) successfully inhibited the aggregation of magnetic iron particles and effectively reduced the size of nZVI particles. The results demonstrated that under acidic conditions, the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) by the nZVI@CMBC composite could reach 124.12 mg g−1. The pseudosecond-order kinetic model had a good agreement with the adsorption kinetics of the nZVI@CMBC composite, implying that the adsorption of Cr(VI) is based on the multi-layer chemical adsorption. Therefore, this study provides a new clue and strategy for removing Cr(VI) in wastewater.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 805:150340.

Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts have been considered as one of the key components in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Heteroatom-doped carbon quantum dots (CQDs) derived from biomass have attracted wide attention due to their rich functional groups, excellent properties, and environmental friendliness. Herein, orange-peels-derived N, S co-doped carbon quantum dots (N, S-CQDs) are in-situ anchored on copper-vacancy-rich Cu nanowires/Cu foam (V-Cu NWs/CF), obtaining the N, S-CQDs/Cu2O-Cu NWs, to catalyze ORR in MFCs. The interaction between N, S-CQDs and V-Cu NWs/CF from the N, S-CQDs/Cu2O-Cu NWs is bridged by the C-S-Cu bond, which is demonstrated to be the active site towards ORR and plays an important role in promoting electron transfer by in-situ Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterizations. In MFCs, the maximum power density (924.5 ± 32.5 mW·m-2) of N, S-CQDs/Cu2O-Cu NWs is 1.34 times that of Pt/C (686.5 ± 28.0 mW·m-2), and its long-term stability also outperforms the Pt/C. This study provides inspiration for synthesis of efficient ORR electrocatalysts with metal-ligand active sites creating by heteroatom-doped CQDs and cationic-metal-vacancy-rich materials.

Abstract
The synthesis of metal-free carbon-based electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) to replace conventional Pt-based catalysts has become a hot spot in current research. This work proposes an activation-assisted carbonization strategy, to manufacture N-doped ultra-thin carbon nanosheets (GWS180M800) with high catalytic activity, namely, melamine is used as an accelerator/nitrogen source, and walnut green peels biological waste as a carbon source. The melamine acts as a nitrogen donor in the hydrothermal process, effectively enhancing the nitrogen doping rate. The content of pyridine nitrogen groups accounts for up to 48.5% of the total nitrogen content. Electrochemical tests show that the GWS180M800 has excellent ORR electrocatalytic activity and stability, and makes a quasi-four-electron ORR pathway clear in the alkaline electrolyte. The initial potential and half slope potential are as high as 1.01 and 0.82 V vs. RHE, respectively. The GWS180M800 catalyst has a better ability to avoid methanol cross poisoning than Pt/C has. Compared with 20 wt% Pt/C, GWS180M800 has improved methanol tolerance and stability. It is a metal-free biochar ORR catalyst with great development potential and application prospects. This result provides a new space for the preparation of valuable porous nano-carbon materials based on carbonaceous solid waste and provides new ideas for catalyzing a wide range of electrochemical reactions in the future.

Abstract
Designing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts with excellent performance has far-reaching significance. In this work, a high-activity biomass free-metal carbon catalyst with N and S co-doped was successfully prepared by using the KOH activated awn stem powder as the precursor with organic matter pore-forming doping technology, which is named TAAS. The content of pyridine nitrogen groups accounts for up to 36% of the total nitrogen content, and a rich pore structure is formed on the surface and inside, which are considered as the potential active centers of ORR. The results show that the specific surface area of TAAS reaches 191.04 m2/g, which effectively increases the active sites of the catalyst, and the initial potential and half slope potential are as high as 0.90 and 0.76 V vs. RHE, respectively. This study provides a low-cost, environmentally friendly and feasible strategy for the conversion of low-value agricultural and forestry wastes into high value-added products to promote sustainable development of energy and the environment.

Abstract
The use of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is quickly spreading in the fields of bioenergy generation and wastewater treatment, as well as in the biosynthesis of valuable compounds for microbial electrolysis cells (MECs). MFCs and MECs have not been able to penetrate the market as economic feasibility is lost when their performances are boosted by nanomaterials. The nanoparticles used to realize or decorate the components (electrodes or the membrane) have expensive processing, purification, and raw resource costs. In recent decades, many studies have approached the problem of finding green synthesis routes and cheap sources for the most common nanoparticles employed in MFCs and MECs. These nanoparticles are essentially made of carbon, noble metals, and non-noble metals, together with a few other few doping elements. In this review, the most recent findings regarding the sustainable preparation of nanoparticles, in terms of syntheses and sources, are collected, commented, and proposed for applications in MFC and MEC devices. The use of naturally occurring, recycled, and alternative raw materials for nanoparticle synthesis is showcased in detail here. Several examples of how these naturally derived or sustainable nanoparticles have been employed in microbial devices are also examined. The results demonstrate that this approach is valuable and could represent a solid alternative to the expensive use of commercial nanoparticles.

Abstract
Biochar is widely used for the adsorptive removal of Cd from water and soil, but the Cd-enriched biochar produced carries a risk of secondary pollution. In this work, biochar derived from rice straw was used to adsorb Cd from plating wastewater. The Cd-enriched biochar showed a saturated adsorption capacity of about 63.5 mg/g and could be recycled and used in a mesoporous carbon-supported CdS (CdS@C) photocatalyst after pyrolysis carbonization and a hydrothermal reaction. The results demonstrated that the as-prepared CdS@C photocatalyst contained mixed cubic and hexagonal CdS phases, with a considerably lower band gap (2.1 eV) than pure CdS (2.6 eV). CdS@C exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic performance for the degradation of organic dyes under visible light irradiation compared with pure CdS due to its excellent light-harvesting capacity and efficient electron-hole separation. Moreover, the continuous formation of active species (h+, •OH, and O2•−) was responsible for the photodegradation of organic dyes using CdS@C. This work provides new insights for the safe disposal of Cd-enriched wastewater and for improving the economic viability of Cd-contaminated resources by recovering a value-added photocatalyst.
