Transition Metal Oxides Anchored Onto Co-Doped Carbon Nanotubes As Bifunctional Electrocatalysts
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
It has been well established that rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are safe, environmentally friendly, and have a high theoretical energy density, making them a promising battery technology. Like many technologies there are challenges that need to be overcome. The main setback for ZABs is the slow reaction kinetics for the oxygen reduction reaction and the oxygen evolution reaction (ORR/OER) at the air electrode. Traditionally, adding precious metal catalysts to the air electrode, like Pt/Ru, will improve the reaction kinetics. However, precious metal catalysts are expensive and unstable during cycling of the discharge and charge reactions. Transition metal oxides combined with nanocarbon materials have been shown to improve the ORR and OER kinetics while staying cost effective [1], [2]. Heteroatom doping, e.g. -N, -B, and -S, of carbon materials has the ability to improve ORR performance [3]. When co-doping carbon nanotubes with sulfur and nitrogen, sulfur has the ability to replace the carbon atoms easily, creating more active sites for catalyst material [3], [4]. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects that co-doping of carbon nanotubes with nitrogen and sulfur combined with transition metal oxides have on the reaction kinetics at the air electrode. Impregnating the combined transition metal oxides and N,S co-doped CNTs into a gas diffusion layer (GDL) made of porous carbon ensures that the catalyst is deposited throughout the GDL [2]. Previous work has been done on Zn- and Ni-based tri-metallic and tetra-metallic oxides with N-CNTs. Nickel-based oxides had high efficiency, while the Zn-based tetra-metallic oxides demonstrated poor ORR performance leading to poor overall efficiency. Based on the literature, it is predicted that using N,S-CNTs with tri-metallic and tetra-metallic oxides will improve ORR performance. Various electrochemical and microstructural characterization techniques; e.g., linear sweep voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, will be used to examine each sample. The goal of this work is to improve the ORR performance of previously studied tri-metallic and tetra-metallic oxides and improve the cyclability of ZABs. [1] N.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
