The electrodeposition of rubidium from an ionic liquid (IL) N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C(4)mpyrr][NTf(2)]) has been performed and monitored at a Nickel mesh electrode by using in situ electrochemical-X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. At extremely high current values during the deposition of the metal, the solvent breakdown was also observed. By choosing suitable low current values, electrodeposition of Rb can be promoted over the IL degradation. IL degradation was characterised by carbonisation of the electrode-IL-vacuum interface, with the loss of fluorine being relatively pronounced, consistent with reduction of the [NTf(2)] anion.

Thermogalvanic and Thermocapacitive Behavior of Superabsorbent Hydrogels for Combined Low-Temperature Thermal Energy Conversion and Harvesting

Mark A. Buckingham, Shuai Zhang, Yuqing Liu, Jun Chen, Frank Marken, Leigh Aldous

Summary: Around two-thirds of society's generated energy is lost as waste heat. Thermogalvanic cells and thermocapacitors offer ways to convert and store thermal energy. By creating superabsorbent hydrogel matrices through vessel-templated synthesis, the ability to improve electrocatalysis, prevent electrolyte leakage, and achieve high thermocapacitance densities has been demonstrated, opening up new possibilities for harvesting and storing low-grade waste thermal energy.

Nanostructuring Electrode Surfaces and Hydrogels for Enhanced Thermocapacitance

Mark A. Buckingham, Florence Stoffel, Shuai Zhang, Yuqing Liu, Frank Marken, Jun Chen, Leigh Aldous

Summary: Thermogalvanic cells can convert waste heat energy into electrical energy, while thermocapacitors can store this electrical energy. This study investigates the use of nanostructuring to enhance the thermocapacitance performance of polyacrylate hydrogel containing [Fe(CN)(6)](3-/4-). The results show that modifying the electrode with nanomaterials increases the electroactive surface area and charging-discharging rates, while changing the degree of neutralization of the hydrogel significantly improves thermocapacitance when high concentrations of ferricyanide/ferrocyanide electrolyte are available.

Magnetite carboxymethylcellulose as biological macromolecule-based absorbent for cationic dyes removal from environmental samples

V. P. Vijayasree, Ninie Suhana Abdul Manan

Summary: CMC@Fe3O4 composite, a magnetic biological molecule, was synthesized and used as an adsorbent to remove cationic dyes from aqueous solutions. Various techniques were used to characterize the adsorbent, including FTIR, FESEM, XRD, VSM, and TGA. The adsorption process was influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, contact time, adsorbent concentration, and initial dye dosage. The synthesized adsorbent showed spherical shapes and different sizes. The adsorption capacity of the dyes was determined, and the adsorption processes were found to be exothermic reactions. The regeneration and reusability of the adsorbent were also evaluated.

Thermogalvanic cells demonstrate inherent physiochemical limitations in redox-active electrolytes at water-in-salt concentrations

Mark A. Buckingham, Kristine Laws, Huanxin Li, Yafei Kuang, Leigh Aldous

Summary: The majority of usable energy generated by humanity is lost as waste heat, but thermogalvanic systems can convert low-grade waste heat directly into electricity. The concentration of the redox couple is critical for power generation, with higher concentrations usually resulting in more power. This study demonstrates the use of Na+ and K+ counter ions to achieve the most concentrated stable aqueous ferricyanide/ferrocyanide thermocell to date.

Stefano Borocci, Armando Camerlingo, Felice Grandinetti, Maria Rutigliano, Nico Sanna

Summary: The complexes of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe with B3N3H6 were investigated using MP2, CCSD(T), and SAPT ab initio methods. The complexes can be described as mono-, di-, and tri-coordinated to the N atoms, with stability following the order N-mono < N-di < N-tri. The interactions are dominated by dispersion and the binding energies are within the range of 1 or 2 kcal mol(-1). The results were compared with a recent DFT study on larger BN sheets complexes [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 24 (2022) 2554-2566.].

Investigation of Ce-based buffer layers on electrochemical performance of YSZ-based symmetric solid oxide fuel cells

Chanchan Wang, Quan Yang, Yanzhi Ding, Xiaoyong Lu, Dong Tian

Summary: It has been found that the introduction of buffer layers improves the electrical performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SSOFCs). In this study, varying ratios of Gd-doped CeO2 were used as buffer layers in YSZ-based SSOFCs. The results demonstrate that the performance of SSOFCs is enhanced when a buffer layer is added, with the highest performance achieved using Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-delta (GDC20) as the buffer layer. This suggests that the use of GDC series buffer layers is an attractive strategy to optimize performance loss due to electrolyte-electrode interactions.
