The direct synthesis of TiN nanoparticles on carbon black (CB) was achieved using an mpg-C(3)N(4)/CB composite as a template. The obtained TiN/CB composites ensured improved contact between TiN and CB, functioning as an efficient cathode catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). The preparation procedure developed in this study is applicable for the synthesis of a variety of supported nano-nitride catalysts.

This research examines the possibility of palm oil and oil palm trunk biochar (OPTB) from pyrolysis effectively serving as alternative processing oils and fillers, substituting petroleum-based counterparts in natural rubber (NR) composites. Chemical, elemental, surface and morphological analyses were used to characterize both carbon black (CB) and OPTB, by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) gas porosimetry, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influences of OPTB contents from 0 to 100 parts per hundred rubber (phr) on thermal, dielectric, dynamic mechanical, and cure characteristics, and the key mechanical properties of particulate NR-composites were investigated.

This study employed a high-speed rotating crushing process to modify pyrolyzed carbon black (CBp) using self-lubricating and low-friction polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The effects of PTFE content on the dispersion, mechanical properties, wear resistance, and thermal stability of modified PTFE-CBp/natural rubber (NR) composites were investigated. The rotating crushing process from the high-speed grinder altered the physical structure of PTFE, forming tiny fibrous structures that interspersed among the CBp particles.

Multifunctional polymer composites containing micro/nano hybrid reinforcements have attracted intensive attention in the field of materials science and engineering. This paper develops a multi-phase analytical model for investigating the effective electrical conductivity of micro-silicon carbide (SiC) whisker/nano-carbon black (CB) polymer composites. First, CB nanoparticles are dispersed within the non-conducting epoxy to achieve a conductive CB-filled nanocomposite and its electrical conductivity is predicted.

The removal of soot particles via high-performance catalysts is a critical area of research due to the growing concern regarding air pollution. Among various potential catalysts suitable for soot oxidation, cerium oxide-based materials have shown considerable promise. In this study, CeO samples obtained using a range of preparation methods (including hydrothermal synthesis (HT), sonochemical synthesis (SC), and hard template synthesis (TS)) were tested in soot combustion.

The reaction mechanism of soot oxidation on Mn (MnO), Mn-Ce (MnO-CeO), and Ce (CeO) catalysts in tight contact conditions was investigated using ITKA (isotopic transient kinetic analysis). The obtained results suggest that lattice-bulk oxygen from all studied catalysts takes part in the soot oxidation process but with varying relative contributions: for the Ce catalyst, this contribution is practically 100%, whereas with decreasing Ce content in Mn-Ce catalysts, the significance of lattice-bulk oxygen for soot oxidation diminishes. For the Mn catalyst, it is estimated to be below 50%.
