Abstract

Li2ZrO3 based sorbents were synthesized for CO2 capture at high temperature between 500 and 700 degrees C. Monoclinic ZrO2, tetragonal Li2ZrO3, Li2CO3, K2CO3 and LiKCO3 phases were detected by XRD and Raman spectroscopy. The sorbents showed high stability and moderate capture efficiency. The addition of K resulted in the improvement of capture efficiency from 0.052 g CO2 g mat(-1) in materials without K to 0.083 g CO2 g mat(-1) in the doped solid. Here, we report an experimental setup of Raman spectroscopy coupled with online mass spectrometry and a demonstration of its capabilities using lithium zirconates as sorbents for high temperature CO2 capture. Operando Raman spectroscopy allowed us to follow up the phase evolution during the capture process for the first time. The results obtained confirmed the presence of molten K and Li carbonates when the K-doped zirconates were exposed to CO2 at 500 degrees C.

Study of the sorption properties of alkali zirconate-based sorbents at high temperature in the presence of water and low CO2 concentration

Diana Peltzer, John Munera, Laura Cornaglia

Summary: Li2ZrO3, K-doped Li2ZrO3, and mixed Li2ZrO3-Na2ZrO3 based sorbents were synthesized via wet impregnation method and their structural, performance, and reactivity were characterized. The addition of water was found to improve the capture properties, while also impacting the regeneration efficiency, with KLiZr showing better stability than NaLiZr. The study suggests that water enhances the reactivity of alkali zirconates by increasing ionic mobility.

Nicolas Gabriel Orsetti, Martina Gamba, Sofia Gomez, Juan Pablo Yasno, Gustavo Suarez

Summary: In the current global environmental paradigm, lithium zirconate-based materials (LZOs) are of great technological interest in reducing the carbon footprint. They have various applications including tritium breeding ceramics, CO2 capture and industrial reuse, nanocoatings for lithium-ion and solid-state batteries, and catalytic materials for biodiesel and air-hydrogen fuel cells.

Operando DRIFT and In situ Raman Spectroscopic Studies on Aspects of CO2 Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis Catalyzed by Bulk Iron Oxide-Based Catalysts

Jana Weiss, Qingxin Yang, Ursula Bentrup, Evgenii Kondratenko, Angelika Brueckner, Christoph Kubis

Summary: Hematite can be used as a precursor for catalytically active iron (oxide) phases in CO2 Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The transformation from alpha-Fe2O3 to Fe3O4 is faster than further reduction to Fe (metallic iron) in a hydrogen atmosphere, with the rate depending on temperature. Surface formate species are formed at elevated temperatures in a CO2/H2 gas mixture, while exposure to CO2 and CO leads to surface carbonate-carboxylate species. Reduced samples with varying Fe3O4 and Fe contents did not show observable adsorbates under reaction conditions. Carbonaceous species, indicating carbidation, were observed for a catalyst with medium reduction degree.

Thimo S. Jacobs, Thomas P. van Swieten, Sander J. W. Vonk, Isa P. Bosman, Angela E. M. Melcherts, Bas C. Janssen, Joris C. L. Janssens, Matteo Monai, Andries Meijerink, Freddy T. Rabouw, Ward van der Stam, Bert M. Weckhuysen

Summary: This study investigates the local temperature variations in carbon dioxide methanation over a TiO2-supported Ni catalyst and links them to catalytic performance. Luminescence thermometry is used to measure the temperature-dependent emission and extract local temperatures. The findings highlight the importance of understanding and controlling temperature variations for optimizing catalyst performance.

Probing the structural organization of a low temperature transition mixture for CO2 capture through spectroscopic and theoretical studies

Tanja Traini, Duccio Tatini, Elisa Rossi, Gianluca Ciancaleoni, Pierandrea Lo Nostro

Summary: By investigating the molecular structure and adsorption capacity of a low temperature transition mixture (LTTM), the properties of the absorbing material can be optimized for the development of reusable carbon capture systems. The LTTM, composed of ethylene glycol, potassium hydroxide, and boric acid (3:1:1), can effectively absorb CO2 at room temperature and release it through boric acid catalysis.

K-doping effect in the kinetics of CO2 capture at high temperature over lithium silicates obtained from rice husks: In situ/operando techniques

Luis A. Salazar Hoyos, Betina M. Faroldi, Laura M. Cornaglia

Summary: K-doped lithium silicates were synthesized as CO2 sorbents using rice husks as silica source by two different doping methods, showing noticeable differences between the samples obtained. An improvement in capture efficiency was observed in the doped samples, especially at low temperature and CO2 partial pressure. The study of kinetics and operando spectroscopies allowed for the proposal of a transformation mechanism during the sorption step, highlighting the enhancement of surface reaction and volumetric diffusion processes in the CO2 capture process.

Operando studies reveal active Cu nanograins for CO2 electroreduction

Yao Yang, Sheena Louisia, Sunmoon Yu, Jianbo Jin, Inwhan Roh, Chubai Chen, Maria V. Fonseca Guzman, Julian Feijoo, Peng-Cheng Chen, Hongsen Wang, Christopher J. Pollock, Xin Huang, Yu-Tsun Shao, Cheng Wang, David A. Muller, Hector D. Abruna, Peidong Yang

Summary: This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the structural dynamics of Cu nanocatalysts during the electrochemical synthesis of fuels and chemicals. The presence of active Cu nanograins under CO2 reduction conditions and their role in supporting C-C coupling reactions were observed. Quantitative structure-activity correlation revealed that a higher fraction of Cu nanograins leads to higher selectivity for C2+ products. This research provides a powerful platform for advancing our understanding of the complex structural evolution of nanocatalysts under electrochemical conditions.

Operando Monitoring the Insulator-Metal Transition of LiCoO2

Eibar Flores, Nataliia Mozhzhukhina, Ulrich Aschauer, Erik J. Berg

Summary: In this study, the insulator-metal transition of LiCoO2 was investigated using operando Raman spectroscopy, DFT calculations, and a sample volume model. It was found that LCO follows a two-phase transition route at low cycling rates, but a solid-solution transition route is favored at higher rates, explaining its competitive rate capabilities. The research provides unique insights into fundamental processes governing the performance of state-of-the-art cathode materials for Li-ion batteries.

Operando Raman spectroscopic evidence of electron-phonon interactions in NiO/TiO2 pn junction photodetectors

Wenjun Wang, Zhu Mao, Yanyu Ren, Fanxu Meng, Xiumin Shi, Bing Zhao

Summary: The built-in potential field of the NiO/TiO2 interface in the photodetectors decreases the charge transfer resistance and changes the vibrational frequency of TiO2's phonon modes, which enhances the responsiveness of the photodetectors. Operando Raman spectroscopy has been proven to be a powerful tool for manufacturing highly responsive photodetectors.

Understanding Electrochemical Reaction Mechanisms of Sulfur in All-Solid-State Batteries through Operando and Theoretical Studies

Daxian Cao, Xiao Sun, Fei Li, Seong-Min Bak, Tongtai Ji, Michael Geiwitz, Kenneth S. Burch, Yonghua Du, Guochun Yang, Hongli Zhu

Summary: The reaction mechanism of sulfur (S-8) in all-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (ASLSBs) was investigated through operando Raman spectroscopy and ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy. It was found that no Li2S8, Li2S6, and Li2S4 were formed, but Li2S2 was detected. First-principles structural calculations revealed the formation energy of solid state Li2Sn (1=n=8), where Li2S2 was a metastable phase consistent with experimental observations. Partial S-8 and Li2S2 remained at the full lithiation stage, indicating incomplete reaction due to sluggish kinetics in ASLSBs.
