Carbon dioxide conversion to fuel over alumina-supported ruthenium catalysts.

In this study, ruthenium-based catalysts were prepared for CO hydrogenation. Incipient-wetness-impregnation of the alumina-support with ruthenium (III) nitrosyl nitrate solution to achieve 0.5 wt% Ru loading on supports was used to prepare these catalysts.

Optimization and evaluation of the distribution of Fischer-Tropsch products over a cobalt-based catalyst utilising design expert software.

Modelling biomass to liquid via the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) system allows researchers to investigate the most efficient parameters while running the system under optimal conditions. As part of the design of experiments (DOE) procedure, a special data simulation method based on response surface methodology (RSM) is utilized to thoroughly analyse the impact of operating circumstances. The objective of this study was to examine the factors that affect the production of C, C-C, and C in FTS process, and then optimize the critical factors utilising factorial design and response surface techniques.

Nonsacrificial Nitrile Additive for Armoring High-Voltage LiNi Co Mn O Cathode with Reliable Electrode-Electrolyte Interface toward Durable Battery.

High-capacity Ni-rich layered oxides are considered as promising cathodes for lithium-ion batteries. However, the practical applications of LiNi Co Mn O  (NCM83) cathode are challenged by continuous transition metal (TM) dissolution, microcracks and mixed arrangement of nickel and lithium sites, which are usually induced by deleterious cathode-electrolyte reactions. Herein, it is reported that those side reactions are limited by a reliable cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) layer formed by implanting a nonsacrificial nitrile additive.

Modulating the Band Structure of Metal Coordinated Salen COFs and an In Situ Constructed Charge Transfer Heterostructure for Electrocatalysis Hydrogen Evolution.

A series of crystalline, stable Metal (Metal = Zn, Cu, Ni, Co, Fe, and Mn)-Salen covalent organic framework (COF) complex are prepared to continuously tune the band structure of Metal-Salen COF , with the purpose of optimizing the free energy intermediate species during the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) process. The conductive macromolecular poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is subsequently integrated into the one-dimensional (1D) channel arrays of Metal-Salen COF to form heterostructure PEDOT@Metal-Salen COF via the in situ solid-state polymerization method. Among the Metal-Salen COF and PEDOT@Metal-Salen COF complexes, the optimized PEDOT@Mn-Salen COF displays prominent electrochemical activity with an overpotential of 150 mV and a Tafel slope of 43 mV dec .
