1D Ceric Hydrogen Phosphate Aerogels: Noncarbonaceous Ultraflyweight Monolithic Aerogels.

ABSTRACT: Ceric hydrogen phosphate gels possess a very unique spatial organization, being nearly amorphous materials with a fibrous structure. Using a sol-gel approach, we succeeded in preparing bulky gels containing as much as 20,000 molecules of water per cerium atom. Supercritical treatment of these gels made it possible to obtain the first ultralight monolithic noncarbonaceous aerogels with a density as low as 1 mg/cm³.

Weldable and closed-loop recyclable monolithic dynamic covalent polymer aerogels

Project description:ABSTRACT Owing to their low density, high porosity and unique micro-nanostructures, aerogels are attractive for application in various fields; however, they suffer from shrinkage and/or cracking during preparation, mechanical brittleness, low production efficiency and non-degradation. Herein, we introduce the concept of dynamic covalent polymer chemistry to produce a new class of aerogels—referred to as DCPAs. The resulting lightweight DCPAs have the potential to be prepared on a large scale and feature high porosity (90.7%–91.3%), large degrees of compression (80% strain) and bending (diametral deflection of 30 mm) without any cracks, as well as considerable tensile properties (an elongation with a break at 32.7%). In addition, the DCPAs showcase the emergent characteristics of weldability, repairability, degradability and closed-loop recyclability that are highly desirable for providing versatile material platforms, though hardly achieved by traditional aerogels. Taking advantage of their robust porous structures, we demonstrate the potential of DCPAs for applications in thermal insulation and emulsion separation. These findings reveal that the dynamic covalent bond strategy would be generalized for the production of a new generation of aerogels with customized features for functioning in the field of intelligent and sustainable materials. Dynamic covalent polymer aerogels (DCPAs) are constructed for the first time. It represents a new concept of aerogels with emerging characteristics of weldability, repairability, and closed-loop recyclability.

A facile route for 3D aerogels from nanostructured 1D and 2D materials.

Project description:Aerogels have numerous applications due to their high surface area and low densities. However, creating aerogels from a large variety of materials has remained an outstanding challenge. Here, we report a new methodology to enable aerogel production with a wide range of materials. The method is based on the assembly of anisotropic nano-objects (one-dimensional (1D) nanotubes, nanowires, or two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets) into a cross-linking network from their colloidal suspensions at the transition from the semi-dilute to the isotropic concentrated regime. The resultant aerogels have highly porous and ultrafine three-dimensional (3D) networks consisting of 1D (Ag, Si, MnO(2), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs)) and 2D materials (MoS(2), graphene, h-BN) with high surface areas, low densities, and high electrical conductivities. This method opens up a facile route for aerogel production with a wide variety of materials and tremendous opportunities for bio-scaffold, energy storage, thermoelectric, catalysis, and hydrogen storage applications.

Monolithic MXene Aerogels Encapsulated Phase Change Composites with Superior Photothermal Conversion and Storage Capability.

Project description:The inherently intermittent feature of solar energy requires reliable energy conversion and storage systems for utilizing the most abundant solar energy. Phase change materials are potential solutions to store a large amount of heat produced by solar light. However, few of the phase change materials have the ability to efficiently convert solar energy into heat; additionally, phase change materials need to be encapsulated in porous substrates for enhancing their leaking resistance and photo-to-thermal performance. In this work, monolithic MXene aerogels, fabricated by Al3+ cross-linking and freeze-drying, were used as the encapsulation and photothermal materials. The composites phase change materials of MXene/polyethylene glycol can be made with a large polyethylene glycol loading above 90 wt% with the maximum of 97 wt%, owing to the large porosity of MXene aerogels. The low content of MXene has a limited impact on the phase transition temperature and enthalpy of polyethylene glycol, with an enthalpy retention rate ranging from 89.2 to 96.5% for 90-97 wt% polyethylene glycol loadings. MXene aerogels greatly improve the leaking resistance of polyethylene glycol above its melting point of 60 °C, even at 100 °C. The composites phase change materials also show outstanding cycling stability for 500 cycles of heat storage and release, retaining 97.7% of the heat storage capability. The optimized composite phase change material has a solar energy utilization of 93.5%, being superior to most of the reported results. Our strategy produces promising composite phase change materials for solar energy utilization using the MXene aerogels as the encapsulation and photothermal materials.

The investigation of an organic acid assisted sol-gel method for preparing monolithic zirconia aerogels.

Project description:In our previous work, a citric acid assisted sol-gel method was developed for preparing monolithic metal oxide aerogels. Such method adopted citric acid as the gelator, which replaced the well-studied proton scavenger propylene oxide. In this work, we have further extended this "organic acid assisted" sol-gel method and investigated the gelation mechanism. Four different organic acids (butanedioic acid, l-malic acid, l-aspartic acid and mercaptosuccinic acid) with an identical main chain but different side groups were used as the gelators for preparing monolithic zirconia aerogels. It was found that complex interactions including covalent bond and coordination bond interactions between organic acids and zirconium ions were vital to give a rigid gel network. After supercritical drying, crystalline zirconia aerogels can be obtained with high surface areas over 330 m2 g-1 and large pore volumes over 3.574 cm3 g-1.

Pd hydride metallene aerogels with lattice hydrogen participation for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction.

Project description:Hydrogen adsorption and desorption in single-phase catalysts often occur at a single catalytic site based on the traditional hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) pathway, which makes it difficult to break the limitation entailed by the Sabatier principle. Herein, β-Pd hydride metallene (β-PdHene) aerogels are synthesized as advanced HER catalysts. A lattice hydrogen-involved mechanism is reported to separate adsorption and desorption sites, which is thermodynamically favorable compared to the traditional reaction pathway. In situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry and theoretical calculations reveal that lattice hydrogen as additional active sites directly participate in the HER process. Consequently, β-PdHene aerogels exhibit a low overpotential of only 20 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and remarkable HER stability, which are even comparable to commercial Pt/C. Our work opens an avenue to rationally develop highly active HER catalysts, bypassing the design limitations of catalysts under traditional mechanisms.

Vertical porous 1D/2D hybrid aerogels with highly matched charge storage performance for aqueous asymmetric supercapacitors.

Project description:Asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) have attracted widespread attention because of their high energy density, high power density and long cycle life. Nevertheless, the development of anodes and cathodes with complementary potential windows and synchronous energy storage kinetics represents a pivotal challenge. We propose to construct nanochannel-coupled vertically porous CNF/Ti3CNTx and CNF/rGO hybrid aerogel electrodes via a unidirectional bottom-up cryoprocess. The vertically porous structure will greatly shorten the ion diffusion path and enhance the charge/ion transfer/diffusion kinetics, and the inserted cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) will impede the re-stacking of the nanosheets and enlarge the interlayer nano-channels, thus improving the accessibility of electrolyte ions. Ultimately, all-solid-state ASCs assembled based on nanochannel-coupled vertically porous MXene and graphene aerogel can achieve an excellent energy density of 20.8 Wh kg-1 at 2.3 kW·kg-1, a high multiplicity performance, and retains 95.1% of energy density after 10,000 cycles. This work not only demonstrates the great superiority of nanochannel-coupled vertically porous hybrid aerogels, but also provides an effective strategy for designing asymmetric supercapacitor electrodes with matched structural and electrochemical properties.

Monolithic Phosphate Interphase for Highly Reversible and Stable Zn Metal Anode.

Project description:Zinc metal battery (ZMB) is promising as the next generation of energy storage system, but challenges relating to dendrites and corrosion of the zinc anode are restricting its practical application. Here, to stabilize Zn anode, we report a controlled electrolytic method for a monolithic solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) via a high dipole moment solvent dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP). The DMMP-based electrolytes can generate a homogeneous and robust phosphate SEI (Zn3 (PO4 )2 and ZnP2 O6 ). Benefiting from the protecting impact of this in situ monolithic SEI, the zinc electrode exhibits long-term cycling of 4700 h and a high Coulombic efficiency 99.89 % in Zn|Zn and Zn|Cu cell, respectively. The full V2 O5 |Zn battery with DMMP-H2 O hybrid electrolyte exhibits a high capacity retention of 82.2 % following 4000 cycles under 5 A g-1 . The first success in constructing the monolithic phosphate SEI will open a new avenue in electrolyte design for highly reversible and stable Zn metal anodes.

Synthesis of Conductive Carbon Aerogels Decorated with β-Tricalcium Phosphate Nanocrystallites.

Project description:There has been substantial interest in research aimed at conductive carbon-based supports since the discovery that the electrical stimulus can have dramatic effect on cell behavior. Among these carbon-aerogels decorated with biocompatible polymers were suggested as future materials for tissue engineering. However, high reaction temperatures required for the synthesis of the aerogels tend to impair the stability of the polymeric networks. Herein, we report a synthetic route towards carbon-aerogel scaffolds decorated with biocompatible ceramic nanoparticles of tricalcium phosphate. The composites can be prepared at temperature as high as 1100 °C without significant effect on the morphology of the composite which is comparable with the original aerogel framework. Although the conductivity of the composites tends to decrease with the increasing ceramic content the measured conductivity values are similar to those previously reported on polymer-functionalized carbon-aerogels. The cell culture study revealed that the developed constructs support cell proliferation and provide good cell attachment suggesting them as potentially good candidates for tissue-engineering applications.

Photocatalytic hydrogen generation of monolithic porous titanium oxide-based glass-ceramics.

Project description:A large relative surface area is crucial for high catalytic activity. Monolithic catalysts are important catalytic materials because of minimal self-degradation. Regarding large surface area catalysts, the glass-ceramics (GCs) with high formability, obtained by heat-treatment of the precursor glass, are plausible candidates. This study examines the photocatalytic behaviour of porous GCs obtained after acid leaching of MgO-TiO2-P2O5 GCs. After heat-treatment, anatase TiO2 was precipitated along with other phases. The diffraction intensity ratio between anatase and other phases was the maximum for a heat-treatment temperature of 900 °C. After acid leaching of the GCs, the relative surface area decreased with increasing TiO2 fraction; the surface area was also affected by the sample morphology. H2 generation was observed from porous GCs, while GCs without etching exhibited approximately zero activity. Thus, it was demonstrated that high surface area and prevention of the reduction reaction to Ti(III) are important for tailoring monolithic photocatalytic materials.

Aerogels of 1D Coordination Polymers: From a Non-Porous Metal-Organic Crystal Structure to a Highly Porous Material.

Project description:The processing of an originally non-porous 1D coordination polymer as monolithic gel, xerogel and aerogel is reported as an alternative method to obtain novel metal-organic porous materials, conceptually different to conventional crystalline porous coordination polymer (PCPs) or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Although the work herein reported is focused upon a particular kind of coordination polymer ([M(μ-ox)(4-apy)₂]n, M: Co(II), Ni(II)), the results are of interest in the field of porous materials and of MOFs, as the employed synthetic approach implies that any coordination polymer could be processable as a mesoporous material. The polymerization conditions were fixed to obtain stiff gels at the synthesis stage. Gels were dried at ambient pressure and at supercritical conditions to render well shaped monolithic xerogels and aerogels, respectively. The monolithic shape of the synthesis product is another remarkable result, as it does not require a post-processing or the use of additives or binders. The aerogels of the 1D coordination polymers are featured by exhibiting high pore volumes and diameters ranging in the mesoporous/macroporous regions which endow to these materials the ability to deal with large-sized molecules. The aerogel monoliths present markedly low densities (0.082⁻0.311 g·cm-3), an aspect of interest for applications that persecute light materials.
