Selective electrochemical oxidative coupling of methane mediated by Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-δ and its chemical stability

ABSTRACT: Efficient conversion of methane to value-added products such as olefins and aromatics has been in pursuit for the past few decades. The demand has increased further due to the recent discoveries of shale gas reserves. Oxidative and non-oxidative coupling of methane (OCM and NOCM) have been actively researched, although catalysts with commercially viable conversion rates are not yet available. Recently, Catalytic conversion of methane to ethene is limited by poor conversion, selectivity, and catalyst stability. Here a solid oxide electrolysis process is reported as a promising method for selective, partial oxidation of methane with low overpotentials.

In situ electrochemical reconstruction of Sr2Fe1.45Ir0.05Mo0.5O6-δ perovskite cathode for CO2 electrolysis in solid oxide electrolysis cells.

Project description:Solid oxide electrolysis cells provide a practical solution for the direct conversion of CO2 to other chemicals (i.e. CO), however, an in-depth mechanistic understanding of the dynamic reconstruction of active sites for perovskite cathodes during CO2 electrolysis remains a great challenge. Herein, we identify that iridium-doped Sr2Fe1.45Ir0.05Mo0.5O6-δ (SFIrM) perovskite displays a dynamic electrochemical reconstruction feature during CO2 electrolysis with abundant exsolution of highly dispersed IrFe alloy nanoparticles on the SFIrM surface. The in situ reconstructed IrFe@SFIrM interfaces deliver a current density of 1.46 A cm-2 while maintaining over 99% CO Faradaic efficiency, representing a 25.8% improvement compared with the Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-δ counterpart. In situ electrochemical spectroscopy measurements and density functional theory calculations suggest that the improved CO2 electrolysis activity originates from the facilitated formation of carbonate intermediates at the IrFe@SFIrM interfaces. Our work may open the possibility of using an in situ electrochemical poling method for CO2 electrolysis in practice.

Exceptional electrocatalytic oxygen evolution via tunable charge transfer interactions in La0.5Sr1.5Ni1-xFexO4±δ Ruddlesden-Popper oxides.

Project description:The electrolysis of water is of global importance to store renewable energy and the methodical design of next-generation oxygen evolution catalysts requires a greater understanding of the structural and electronic contributions that give rise to increased activities. Herein, we report a series of Ruddlesden-Popper La0.5Sr1.5Ni1-xFexO4±δ oxides that promote charge transfer via cross-gap hybridization to enhance electrocatalytic water splitting. Using selective substitution of lanthanum with strontium and nickel with iron to tune the extent to which transition metal and oxygen valence bands hybridize, we demonstrate remarkable catalytic activity of 10 mA cm-2 at a 360 mV overpotential and mass activity of 1930 mA mg-1ox at 1.63 V via a mechanism that utilizes lattice oxygen. This work demonstrates that Ruddlesden-Popper materials can be utilized as active catalysts for oxygen evolution through rational design of structural and electronic configurations that are unattainable in many other crystalline metal oxide phases.

Exchange bias effect in polycrystalline Bi0.5Sr0.5Fe0.5Cr0.5O3 bulk.

Project description:Bulk Bi0.5Sr0.5Fe0.5Cr0.5O3 (BSFCO) is a new compound comprising the R3c structure. The structural, magnetic property and exchange bias (EB) details are investigated. The material was in the super-paramagnetic (SP) state at room temperature. Exchange bias usually occurs at the boundary between different magnetic states after field cooling (HFC) acts on the sample. Here the result shows that changing HFC from 1 to 6 T reduces the HEB value by 16% at 2 K at the same time. Meanwhile, HEB diminishes as the ferromagnetic layer thickness increases. The variation of (the thickness of ferromagnetic layer) tFM with the change of HFC leads to the tuning of HEB by HFC in BSFCO bulk. These effects are obviously different from the phenomenon seen in other oxide types.

Enhanced Electrochemical Performance of MnCo1.5Fe0.5O4Spinel for Oxygen Evolution Reaction through Heat Treatment.

Project description:MnCo1.5Fe0.5O4 spinel oxide was synthesized using the sol-gel technique, followed by heat treatment at various temperatures (400, 600, 800, and 1000 °C). The prepared materials were examined as anode electrocatalysts for water-splitting systems in alkaline environments. Solid-state characterization methods, such as powder X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), were used to analyze the materials' crystallographic structure and surface characteristics. The intrinsic activity of the MnCo1.5Fe0.5O4 was fine-tuned by altering the electronic structure by controlling the calcination temperature, and the highest activity was observed for the sample treated at 800 °C. A shift in the valence state of surface cations under oxidative conditions in an alkaline solution during the oxygen evolution reaction was detected through ex situ XAS measurements. Moreover, the influence of the experimental conditions on the electrocatalytic performance of the material, including the pH of the electrolyte and the temperature, was demonstrated.

Promoting exsolution of RuFe alloy nanoparticles on Sr2Fe1.4Ru0.1Mo0.5O6-δ via repeated redox manipulations for CO2 electrolysis.

Project description:Metal nanoparticles anchored on perovskite through in situ exsolution under reducing atmosphere provide catalytically active metal/oxide interfaces for CO2 electrolysis in solid oxide electrolysis cell. However, there are critical challenges to obtain abundant metal/oxide interfaces due to the sluggish diffusion process of dopant cations inside the bulk perovskite. Herein, we propose a strategy to promote exsolution of RuFe alloy nanoparticles on Sr2Fe1.4Ru0.1Mo0.5O6-δ perovskite by enriching the active Ru underneath the perovskite surface via repeated redox manipulations. In situ scanning transmission electron microscopy demonstrates the dynamic structure evolution of Sr2Fe1.4Ru0.1Mo0.5O6-δ perovskite under reducing and oxidizing atmosphere, as well as the facilitated CO2 adsorption at RuFe@Sr2Fe1.4Ru0.1Mo0.5O6-δ interfaces. Solid oxide electrolysis cell with RuFe@Sr2Fe1.4Ru0.1Mo0.5O6-δ interfaces shows over 74.6% enhancement in current density of CO2 electrolysis compared to that with Sr2Fe1.4Ru0.1Mo0.5O6-δ counterpart as well as impressive stability for 1000 h at 1.2 V and 800 °C.

Diffusion Barriers Minimizing the Strength Degradation of Reactive Air Brazed Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ Membranes during Aging.

Project description:The separation of oxygen from air by means of inorganic ceramic membranes requires gas-tight ceramic-metal joints that enable reliable permeation operation in the oxygen partial pressure gradient at 850 °C. Reactive air brazing is a promising method to solve this challenge. However, reactive air brazed BSCF membranes suffer from a significant strength degradation that is caused by unhindered diffusion from the metal component during aging. In this study, we investigated how diffusion layers applied on the austenitic steel AISI 314 influence the bending strength of BSCF-Ag3CuO-AISI314 joints after aging. Three different approaches were compared as diffusion barriers: (1) aluminizing via pack cementation, (2) spray coating with NiCoCrAlReY, and (3) spray coating with NiCoCrAlReY and an additional 7YSZ top layer. Coated steel components were brazed to bending bars and aged for 1000 h at 850 °C in air prior to four-point bending and subsequent macroscopic as well microscopic analyses. In particular, coating with NiCoCrAlReY showed low-defect microstructures. The characteristic joint strength was raised from 17 MPa to 35 MPa after 1000 h aging at 850 °C. In addition, the dominant delamination fracture between the steel and the mixed oxide layer, observed in the reference series with uncoated steel, could be replaced by mixed and ceramic fractures of higher strength. The effect of residual joint stresses on the crack formation and path is analyzed and discussed. Chromium poisoning could no longer be detected in the BSCF, and interdiffusion through the braze was effectively reduced. Since the strength degradation of reactive air brazed joints is mainly caused by the metallic joining partner, the findings on the effect of the diffusion barriers in BSCF joints might be transferred to numerous other joining systems.

Modulating the Energy Band Structure of the Mg-Doped Sr0.5Pr0.5Fe0.2Mg0.2Ti0.6O3-δ Electrolyte with Boosted Ionic Conductivity and Electrochemical Performance for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells.

Project description:Achieving fast ionic conductivity in the electrolyte at low operating temperatures while maintaining the stable and high electrochemical performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is challenging. Herein, we propose a new type of electrolyte based on perovskite Sr0.5Pr0.5Fe0.4Ti0.6O3-δ for low-temperature SOFCs. The ionic conducting behavior of the electrolyte is modulated using Mg doping, and three different Sr0.5Pr0.5Fe0.4-xMgxTi0.6O3-δ (x = 0, 0.1, and 0.2) samples are prepared. The synthesized Sr0.5Pr0.5Fe0.2Mg0.2Ti0.6O3-δ (SPFMg0.2T) proved to be an optimal electrolyte material, exhibiting a high ionic conductivity of 0.133 S cm-1 along with an attractive fuel cell performance of 0.83 W cm-2 at 520 °C. We proved that a proper amount of Mg doping (20%) contributes to the creation of an adequate number of oxygen vacancies, which facilitates the fast transport of the oxide ions. Considering its rapid oxide ion transport, the prepared SPFMg0.2T presented heterostructure characteristics in the form of an insulating core and superionic conduction via surface layers. In addition, the effect of Mg doping is intensively investigated to tune the band structure for the transport of charged species. Meanwhile, the concept of energy band alignment is employed to interpret the working principle of the proposed electrolyte. Moreover, the density functional theory is utilized to determine the perovskite structures of SrTiO3-δ and Sr0.5Pr0.5Fe0.4-xMgxTi0.6O3-δ (x = 0, 0.1, and 0.2) and their electronic states. Further, the SPFMg0.2T with 20% Mg doping exhibited low dissociation energy, which ensures the fast and high ionic conduction in the electrolyte. Inclusively, Sr0.5Pr0.5Fe0.4Ti0.6O3-δ is a promising electrolyte for SOFCs, and its performance can be efficiently boosted via Mg doping to modulate the energy band structure.

Plasma engraved Bi0.1(Ba0.5Sr0.5)0.9Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ perovskite for highly active and durable oxygen evolution.

Project description:The development of highly active and cost-effective catalysts based on noble metal free oxygen electro-catalysis is critical to energy storage and conversion devices. Herein, we highlight a plasma-treated Bi0.1(Ba0.5Sr0.5)0.9Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ perovskite (denoted as P-Bi0.1BSCF) as a promising catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media. H2/Ar plasma engraving could significantly increase electrochemically active O22-/O- concentration and tune the electronic structure of Co ions efficiently, and consequently tailor the intrinsic electrocatalytic ability for OER. Of note, P-Bi0.1BSCF, with unique crystalline core/amorphous shell structure, exhibits an enhanced intrinsic OER activity and higher stability than the noble metal IrO2 catalyst, which outperforms most of the reported perovskite catalysts. The present work provides new insights into exploring efficient catalysts for OER, and it suggests that, in addition to the extensively applied for surface treatment of various catalysts such as carbons and metal oxides, the plasma engraved perovskite materials also exhibits great potential as precious metal-free catalysts.

Two orders of magnitude enhancement in oxygen evolution reactivity on amorphous Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ nanofilms with tunable oxidation state.

Project description:Perovskite oxides exhibit potential for use as electrocatalysts in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, their low specific surface area is the main obstacle to realizing a high mass-specific activity that is required to be competitive against the state-of-the-art precious metal-based catalysts. We report the enhanced performance of Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (BSCF) for the OER with intrinsic activity that is significantly higher than that of the benchmark IrO2, and this result was achieved via fabrication of an amorphous BSCF nanofilm on a surface-oxidized nickel substrate by magnetron sputtering. The surface nickel oxide layer of the Ni substrate and the thickness of the BSCF film were further used to tune the intrinsic OER activity and stability of the BSCF catalyst by optimizing the electronic configuration of the transition metal cations in BSCF via the interaction between the nanofilm and the surface nickel oxide, which enables up to 315-fold enhanced mass-specific activity compared to the crystalline BSCF bulk phase. Moreover, the amorphous BSCF-Ni foam anode coupled with the Pt-Ni foam cathode demonstrated an attractive small overpotential of 0.34 V at 10 mA cm-2 for water electrolysis, with a BSCF loading as low as 154.8 μg cm-2.

Magnetoelectric and magnetodielectric coupling and microwave resonator characteristics of Ba0.5Sr0.5Nb2O6/CoCr0.4Fe1.6O4 multiferroic composite.

Project description:A multiferroic composite consisting of single phases of 30 vol.% magnetostrictive ferrite and 70 vol.% relaxor ferroelectric has been synthesized. The ferrite exhibits a diffuse dielectric phase transition (DPT)with the transition temperature varying from 450 K to 600 K and an activation energy of 0.29 eV. Magnetically, it has a soft behavior with 70 emug-1 saturation magnetization and a Curie transition at ~620 K. The relaxor ferroelectric phase on the other hand exhibits two clear DPTs at 390 K-400 K and 150 K-300 K. The composite of these two shows a soft ferromagnetic behavior reminiscent of the ferrite along with 3 DPTs. There is strong coupling between the two orders - magnetostrictive and piezoelectric in the composite. The capacitance decreases by 45% in the presence of magnetic field corresponding to a sensitivity of 0.9% kOe-1, an extremely large value. The magnetoelectric coupling constant is found to be 20.6 mVcm-1Oe-1, a large value for a bulk composite. Microwave band stop filters of different thicknesses made from the composite have resonant frequencies which upshift in the presence of magnetic field indicating a multiferroic behavior with possibility for electric field tuning of resonant frequency.
