A new trend in supercapacitor research has focussed on the construction of inexpensive electrode materials with high capacitor performances. In this study, we demonstrate the successful preparation of carbon-doped hollow titania spheres. The as-prepared titania spheres not only exhibit an advantage over existing methods because they are created in situ by directly carbonizing cationic polystyrene templates without the addition of carbon precursors, but also feature a narrow pore size distribution and a tuneable shell architecture. When the materials were applied as supercapacitor anodes, the electrochemical results reveal the superior performances of the supercapacitors over that of commercial P25. The higher performances were attributed to carbon doping. Thus, the reported C-doped hollow titania shows more potential as electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors.

ABSTRACTThe use of NMR relaxation measurements for the in-situ study of pore structure evolution during gel aging and drying is illustrated. The change in the pore size distribution and surface area of both wet and dried gels is examined as a function of aging conditions including temporal aging, thermal aging, changing pH, and changing pore fluid. The effect of pore fluid pH on dissolution/reprecipitation in ordered packings of monodisperse silica spheres is also examined as a model system for particulate gels. As expected, the pore size distribution narrows with increasing time of treatment in high pH pore fluids. Interpretation of high pH results for the wet state is complicated by a microporous layer which forms on colloidal silica resulting in significantly larger wet surface area as compared to the final dried material. Narrowing of the pore size distribution, which is of interest for maximizing drying rates, is maximized in the least time by using either high pH or repeated ethanol washes for the base-catalyzed gel (B2) used.

Pore Types

As an important nuclear fuel, uranium in sandstone uranium deposits is mainly extracted by in situ leaching. The porosity of sandstone is one of the important indexes determining in situ leaching efficiency. Moreover, the microscopic pore size distribution (PSD) of the uranium-bearing layer has an important effect on porosity. It is necessary to feature the pore structure by various techniques because of the different pore types and sizes in the uranium layer. In this paper, combined with nitrogen gas adsorption, nuclear magnetic resonance techniques and scanning electron microscopy, the full-scale PSD features of uranium-bearing sandstone in the northwest of Xinjiang are effectively characterized. The results show that pores structure of uranium-bearing sandstone include dissolution pores ( d ≤ 50 nm), intergranular pores (50 nm < d ≤ 200 µm) and microfractures. Intergranular pores of 60 nm and 1 µm are the significant contributors to pore volume. The effects of the pore volume of two pore types (dissolution pores and intergranular pores) on the porosity of uranium-bearing sandstone are analysed. The results show that intergranular pores have the greater influence on the porosity and are positively correlated to the porosity. Dissolution pores have little effect on the porosity, but it is one of the key factors for improving uranium recovery. Moreover, the greater the difference of PSD between sandstones, the stronger the interlayer heterogeneity of uranium-bearing sandstone. This kind of interlayer heterogeneity leads to the change of permeability in the horizontal direction of strata. It provides a basis for a reasonable setting of well type and well spacing parameters.
