The electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis using water (along with nitrogen) as a hydrogen source is proposed as an alternative green and clean technology to the energy-intensive and CO2-emitting process (Haber-Bosch) for ammonia production. Besides, a selective electrocatalyst for ammonia synthesis versus the competing hydrogen evolution remains elusive. This study aims to investigate the electrocatalytic activity of non-noble metal Co and Fe-free perovskite oxide-based composite cathode (La0.75Sr0.25Cr0.5Mn0.5O3-δ-Ce0.8Gd0.18Ca0.02O2-δ) towards ammonia synthesis from H2O and N2. The electrocatalyst was synthesized via a sol-gel process and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ammonia was successfully with a maximum formation rate of 2.5 × 10-10 mol s-1 cm-2 and Faradaic efficiency of 0.52% at 400 oC and applied voltage of 1.4 V. The results demonstrated that the proposed non-noble metal-based electrocatalyst is a promising material for the carbon-free ammonia synthesis process.

Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) have attracted wide attention, but the shuttle effect of polysulfide hinders their further practical application. Herein, we develop a new strategy to construct a Ketjen black@zeolite imidazole framework-8/polypropylene composite separator. Such a separator consists of Ketjen black (KB), zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) and polypropylene (PP) with a low coating load of 0.06 mg cm−2 and is denoted as KB@ZIF-8/PP. KB@ZIF-8/PP can absorb polysulfides because of the Lewis acid-base interaction between ZIF-8 and polysulfides. This interaction can reduce the dissolution of polysulfides and suppress the shuttle effect, thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of the battery. When tested at a current density of 0.1 C, an LSB with a KB@ZIF-8/PP separator exhibits low polarization and achieves a high initial capacity of 1235.6 mAh/g and a high capacity retention rate of 59.27% after 100 cycles.

Abstract To prepare an efficient supercapacitor, an activated carbon from agave wastes was prepared and their electrochemical performance was evaluated as a novel electrode for supercapacitor. The carbon was prepared by two thermal pyrolysis processes under nitrogen atmosphere. The first pyrolysis was achieved at 500°C until the charring of the bagasse, in the second pyrolysis step, the char was impregnated with different mass ratios of KOH (1:2 − 1:4) and thermally treated at 800 or 900°C, for 1 h under N2 flow. The textural analysis showed that the activated carbon had a specific surface area of 1462 m2 g− 1 and depicted a type I isotherm (IUPAC) characteristic of a microporous carbon. Raman spectroscopy and XRD measurements confirm that the activated carbon contains a small graphitization degree and a disordered structure. The electrochemical study of the symmetric carbon supercapacitor was carried out in 1M Li2SO4 solution as the electrolyte. The electrochemical performance of the coin cell supercapacitor was evaluated under an accelerated ageing floating test consisting of potentiostatic steps at different voltages (1.5, 1.6 and 1.8 V) for 10 h followed by galvanostatic charge/discharge sequences, the overall procedure summarized a floating time up to 200 h. The highest capacitance was observed at a floating voltage of 1.5 V, with a large initial specific capacitance of 297 F g− 1.
