The TiO2 sol was prepared hydrothermally in an autoclave from aqueous TiOCl2 solutions using as a starting precursor. Titanate nanotubes were obtained when the sol-gel-derived TiO2 solwas treated chemically with a 10 M NaOH solution and subsequently heated in the autoclave at 150C for 48 h. The samples were characterized using XRD, TEM, SEM, EDX, FF-IR, and BET surface area analyzer. The experimental results revealed that the phase, shape and morphology, surface property and the photocatalytic activity were greatly affected by the calcination temperatures and amount of sodium present in the different samples. On the basis of different experimental evidences, formula Na2Ti3O7 center dot nH(2)O, Na2-xHxTi3O7 center dot nH(2)O and H2Ti3O7 center dot nH(2)O has been proposed for the nanotubes depending on the extent of exchange reaction of sodium with proton. A systematic study, dealing with the photocatalytic activity of the titanate nanotubes, was also carried out as a function of sodium contents and calcination temperatures. The photocatalytic activity of samples, obtained before and after calcination containing different amounts of sodium, was evaluated using the photooxidation of a dye, amaranth, as probe reaction. The as-prepared nanotubes, with or without sodium contents, showed no photocatalytic activities but when the samples containing partial or without sodium ions were heated at different temperatures, photocatalytic activity was drastically increased following the change in phase.

Confined growth and dispersion of FeP nanoparticles in highly mesoporous carbons as efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction

Munzir H. Suliman, Turki N. Baroud, Mohammad N. Siddiqui, Mohammad Qamar, Emmanuel P. Giannelis

Summary: The mesopore size of the carbon is a key design parameter for iron monophosphide (FeP) catalysts supported on highly mesoporous carbons (HMCs) for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Smaller mesopores lead to finely dispersed and smaller FeP nanocrystals, while larger mesopores result in larger and agglomerated nanoparticles, impacting the activity of the catalysts. Electrocatalysts based on FeP immobilized on mesoporous carbons show lower overpotential and Tafel slope compared to those based on commercial activated carbon, indicating the importance of mesopore size in determining the performance of electrocatalysts.

Summary: This study investigated the characteristics of H-2 production from a decomposition reaction using a bismuth ferrite catalyst, which showed a higher H-2 production rate than the TiO2 photocatalyst due to its ability to respond to both UV and visible light emitted from liquid-phase plasma. The bismuth ferrite catalyst prepared by sol-gel reaction method demonstrated optical properties such as absorption of visible-light over 610 nm and a bandgap of approximately 2.0 eV.

Sulfur-doped SnO2 nanoparticles encased in porous carbon derived from a metal-organic framework for lithium-ion battery anodes

Munisamy Maniyazagan, Perumal Naveenkumar, Hassan Zuhaib, Hyeon-Woo Yang, Woo Seung Kang, Sun-Jae Kim

Summary: This study proposes a Sn-based LIBs anode material called sulfur-doped porous carbon skeleton nanoparticles with SnO2 incorporated using a metal organic framework (MOF) technique (Sn@C-800). This material minimizes SnO2 particle aggregation, volume expansion, and prevents SnO2 from coming into contact with the electrolyte. The inclusion of sulfur increases electrical conductivity and provides sites for lithium-ion storage. Sn@C-800 exhibits a high-rate capacity of 1067 mAh g(-1) at 0.1 A g(-1) and remarkable cycle performance of 1188 mAh g(-1) at 1.0 A g(-1). After 1000 cycles, the reversible capacity increases to 637 mAh g(-1). This paper introduces a method for producing Sn-based LIBs anode materials with outstanding performance.

Building optimal SEI through control of morphology and chemical composition for high-performance lithium-ion batteries

Hyeon-Woo Yang, Munisamy Maniyazagan, Perumal Naveenkumar, Woo Seung Kang, Sun -Jae Kim

Summary: SiOx has potential as an anode material for high energy density lithium-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity, but its long-term durability and storage performance are compromised by continuous solid-electrolyte-interphase (SEI) growth. In this study, we propose an optimal SEI with unique morphology and chemical composition, which facilitates the transport of Li ions during cycling. By adding nanodiamond (ND) and octadecylamine (ODA) additives, we successfully construct nanoscale pillar structure and inorganic Li-N and LiF-rich SEI on the Ti-SiOx@C electrode, resulting in a superior capacity retention of 91.0% at 1C after 500 cycles.

Perumal Naveenkumar, Munisamy Maniyazagan, Hyeon-Woo Yang, Woo Seung Kang, Sun -Jae Kim

Summary: SiOC and SnS@SiOC composite materials were prepared by thermal pyrolysis method, while SnS was prepared by CTAB-assisted hydrothermal method. The presence of crystalline carbon phase in SiOC was confirmed by high-magnification TEM images. SEM and TEM images established the nanoplate-like morphology of SnS and the nanoparticle nature of silicon-oxy carbide. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy validated the chemical state of elements in the SnS@SiOC composite. CV graphs showed that SiOC behaved non-faradic process, while SnS and SnS@SiOC composite exhibited a combined lithium-ion storage mechanism. The rate capability of SnS@SiOC composite was superior to SnS and SiOC electrode materials. The initial discharge capacity of SiOC, SnS, and SnS@SiOC was 1191 mAh g-1, 1007 mAh g-1, and 1315 mAh g-1 @ 0.1 A g-1, respectively. At a current density of 1 A g-1, SiOC, SnS, and SnS@SiOC composite provided the 1000th cycle discharge capacity of 196.8, 437.5, and 570 mAh g-1, respectively. After 800 cycles @ 5 A g-1, SnS and SnS@SiOC composite delivered a discharge capacity of 448.7 and 491.8 mAh g-1, with capacity retention of 94% and 90%, respectively. Silicon oxy carbide and SnS synergistically increase lithium-ion storage capacity and cycle stability for long-term energy storage and conversion applications.

Selenium-decorated nitrogen-rich honeycomb-like g-C3N4 as anode materials for lithium ion batteries

Hassan Zuhaib, Maniyazagan Munisamy, Naveenkumar Perumal, Hyeon-Woo Yang, Woo Seung Kang, Sun -Jae Kim

Summary: Heteroatom doping is an efficient method to modify the electronic properties of carbon for better lithium storage capacity. Here, we report a straightforward approach to synthesize selenium-decorated honeycomb-like g-C3N4 (Se-H-g-C3N4) for the anode of a Li-ion battery. The Se doping significantly widened the gap between carbon sheets, providing more active sites for Li-ion storage and enhancing the diffusion rate. As a result, Se-H-g-C3N4 outperformed bulk g-C3N4 and honeycomb-like g-C3N4 (H-g-C3N4) in terms of rate capability and specific capacity.
