Renewable saccharide-derived porous carbon foams with metal particles for CNT and graphene substrates in electrochemical applications. iScience 2025; 28:112050. [PMID: 40129705 PMCID: PMC11931389 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2025.112050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2024] [Revised: 01/02/2025] [Accepted: 02/13/2025] [Indexed: 03/26/2025] Open
Abstract
Harnessing the potential of renewable saccharides, porous carbon foams embedded with metal nanoparticles have been innovatively synthesized, pushing the boundaries of electrochemical applications. By embedding metal nanoparticles in carbon foams derived from saccharides and metal salts, substrates for the growth of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and multi-layer graphene through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are created. The influence of varying saccharide-to-metal precursor ratios on the morphology of these nano-structured carbons is examined. The diameters of carbon nanotubes formed at different saccharide to nickel (Ni) ratios are compared, with corroborative insights from X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Substituting cobalt (Co) salts for Ni precursors reveals notable differences in carbon morphologies. The resulting carbon nanotube-carbon foam composites exhibit remarkable properties, enabling the creation of hierarchical carbon foams. Furthermore, their potential as carbon electrodes for electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) is evaluated, highlighting their promise in cutting-edge electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Single atom catalysts (SACs), which can provide the combined benefits of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, are a revolutionary concept in the field of material research. The highly exposed catalytic surfaces, unsaturated sites, as well as unique structural and electronic properties of SACs have the potential to catalyze numerous reactions with unmatched efficiency and durability when stabilized on a suitable support. In this review, we have provided an intuitive insight into the strategies adopted in the last 5 years for morphology control of SACs to know about its impact on metal-support interaction and various organic transformations with special reference to metal oxides, alloys, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and carbon-based supports. This review also includes a brief description of unparalleled potentials of SACs and the recent advances in the catalysis of industrially important organic transformations, with special emphasis on the C-C cross-coupling reaction, biomass conversion, hydrogenation, oxidation and click chemistry. This unprecedented and unique perspective will highlight the interactions occurring within SACs that are responsible for their high catalytic efficiency, which will potentially benefit various organic transformations. We have also suggested plausible synergy of various other concepts such as defect engineering and piezocatalysis with SACs, which can provide a new direction to sustainable chemistry. A good understanding of the different types of metal-support interactions will help researchers develop morphology-controlled SACs with tunable properties and establish mechanisms for their exceptional catalytic behaviour in industrially important organic transformations.

Cellulose Nanofiber-Alginate Biotemplated Cobalt Composite Multifunctional Aerogels for Energy Storage Electrodes. Gels 2023; 9:893. [PMID: 37998983 PMCID: PMC10671317 DOI: 10.3390/gels9110893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Tunable porous composite materials to control metal and metal oxide functionalization, conductivity, pore structure, electrolyte mass transport, mechanical strength, specific surface area, and magneto-responsiveness are critical for a broad range of energy storage, catalysis, and sensing applications. Biotemplated transition metal composite aerogels present a materials approach to address this need. To demonstrate a solution-based synthesis method to develop cobalt and cobalt oxide aerogels for high surface area multifunctional energy storage electrodes, carboxymethyl cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and alginate biopolymers were mixed to form hydrogels to serve as biotemplates for cobalt nanoparticle formation via the chemical reduction of cobalt salt solutions. The CNF-alginate mixture forms a physically entangled, interpenetrating hydrogel, combining the properties of both biopolymers for monolith shape and pore size control and abundant carboxyl groups that bind metal ions to facilitate biotemplating. The CNF-alginate hydrogels were equilibrated in CaCl2 and CoCl2 salt solutions for hydrogel ionic crosslinking and the prepositioning of transition metal ions, respectively. The salt equilibrated hydrogels were chemically reduced with NaBH4, rinsed, solvent exchanged in ethanol, and supercritically dried with CO2 to form aerogels with a specific surface area of 228 m2/g. The resulting aerogels were pyrolyzed in N2 gas and thermally annealed in air to form Co and Co3O4 porous composite electrodes, respectively. The multifunctional composite aerogel's mechanical, magnetic, and electrochemical functionality was characterized. The coercivity and specific magnetic saturation of the pyrolyzed aerogels were 312 Oe and 114 emu/gCo, respectively. The elastic moduli of the supercritically dried, pyrolyzed, and thermally oxidized aerogels were 0.58, 1.1, and 14.3 MPa, respectively. The electrochemical testing of the pyrolyzed and thermally oxidized aerogels in 1 M KOH resulted in specific capacitances of 650 F/g and 349 F/g, respectively. The rapidly synthesized, low-cost, hydrogel-based synthesis for tunable transition metal multifunctional composite aerogels is envisioned for a wide range of porous metal electrodes to address energy storage, catalysis, and sensing applications.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 286:131577. [PMID: 34298297 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
SnO2 quantum dots (SQD) were prepared by utilizing the soft-chemical approach. The formed SQD's were annealed in two kinds of environments: air and nitrogen (N2). Each annealing environment resulted in significant improvement in the performance of water oxidation and electrochemical supercapacitor performance. The specific capacitance of the SQD's under the N2 annealing process (SQD-N2) shows significantly better electrochemical performance. A specific capacitance of 79.13 F/g was achieved for SQD-N2 sample by applying a current of 1 mA, which was approximately 1.5 times greater than that of the pristine SQD's. A cycle stability of 99.4% over 5000 cycles was achieved by SQD-N2. The process of nitrogen annealing environment brings down the bandgap from 3.37 to 1.9 eV. The SQD-N2 sample shows the highest photocurrent over SQD and SQD-Air samples. From the LSV study, SQD-N2 shows the photocurrent density of 4.82 mA/cm2, which is 1.43 times greater than pristine SQD sample. The nitrogen-annealing environment provides the optimal environment to tune the average crystallite size and crystallinity nature of SQD's to improve the optical properties like bandgap to enhance the water oxidation and also electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Nickel-cobalt oxides were prepared by coprecipitation of their hydroxides precursors and a following thermal treatment under a moderate temperature. The preformed nickel-cobalt bimetallic hydroxide exhibited a flower-like morphology with single crystalline nature and composed of many interconnected nanosheets. The ratio of Ni to Co in the oxides could easily be controlled by adjusting the composition of the original reactants for the preparation of hydroxide precursors. It was found that both the molecular ratio of Ni to Co and the annealing temperature had significant effects on their porous structure and electrochemical properties. The effect of the Ni/Co ratio on the pseudocapacitive properties of the binary oxide was investigated in this work. The binary metal oxide with the exact molar ratio of Ni:Co = 0.8:1 annealed at 300 °C, showing an optimum specific capacitance of 750 F/g. However, too high an annealing temperature would lead to a large crystal size, a low specific surface area, as well as a much lower pore volume. With the use of the binary metal oxide with Ni:Co = 0.8:1 and activated carbon as the positive and negative electrode, respectively, the assembled hybrid capacitor could exhibit a high-energy density of 34.9 Wh/kg at the power density of 875 W/kg and long cycling life (86.4% retention of the initial value after 10000 cycles).

Abstract
Porous nanostructures of semiconductors are well-known for their ability to enhance the photocatalytic activity thanks to the large specific surface area and abundant active sites for the reactions, interfacial transport, and high utilization of light arising from multireflections in the pores. In this paper, we have successfully fabricated a special porous SrTiO3 three-dimensional (3D) architecture through a facile hydrothermal reaction at 150 °C, using layered protonated titanate hierarchical spheres (LTHSs) of submicrometer size as a precursor template. The SrTiO3 architecture is characterized by the 3D assembly of hundreds of highly oriented nanocubes of 60-80 nm by the partial sharing of (100) faces, thereby displaying porous but single-crystal-like features reminiscent of mesocrystals. Our experimental results have shown the key roles played by the template effect akin to that in topotactic transformation in crystallography and Ostwald-ripening-assisted oriented attachment in the formation of such nanocube assemblies. Compared to the solid SrTiO3 photocatalysts previously synthesized by high-temperature solid-state methods, the as-synthesized porous SrTiO3 nanocube assemblies have relatively large specific surface areas (up to 20.83 m(2)·g(-1)), and thus they have exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity in hydrogen evolution from water splitting. Expectantly, our synthetic strategy using LTHSs as the precursor template may be extended to the fabrication of other titanate photocatalysts with similar porous hierarchical structures by taking advantage of the diversity of the perovskite-type titanate.
