Porous Sio2

The structures and applications of metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) have been attracting great interest due to the wide variety of possible applications, for example, chemical sensing, separation, and catalysis. N-[3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine is grafted on a porous SiO2 disk to obtain a modified porous SiO2 disk. A large-scale, continuous, and compact Cu3(BTC)2 membrane is prepared based on a modified porous SiO2 disk. The chemical structure, surface morphology, thermal stability, mechanical stability, and gas separation performance of the obtained Cu3(BTC)2 membrane is analyzed and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and a gas separation experiment. The results show that the prepared Cu3(BTC)2 membrane has an intact morphology with its crystal. It is continuous, compact, and intact, and has good thermal stability and mechanical stability. The result of the gas separation experiment shows that the Cu3(BTC)2 membrane has a good selectivity of hydrogen and can be used to recover and purify hydrogen.

Oligomeric Silsesquioxane

A new polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) designed with eight –(CH2)3–NH–(CH2)2–NH2 groups (PNEN) at its apexes was used as nanocomposite uploading into 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTESE)-derived organosilica to prepare mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation. The mixtures of BTESE-PNEN were uniform with particle size of around 31 nm, which is larger than that of pure BTESE sols. The characterization of thermogravimetric (TG) and gas permeance indicates good thermal stability. A similar amine-contained material of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) was doped into BTESE to prepare hybrid membranes through a copolymerized strategy as comparison. The pore size of the BTESE-PNEN membrane evaluated through a modified gas-translation model was larger than that of the BTESE-APTES hybrid membrane at the same concentration of additions, which resulted in different separation performance. The low values of Ep(CO2)-Ep(N2) and Ep(N2) for the BTESE-PNEN membrane at a low concentration of PNEN were close to those of copolymerized BTESE-APTES-related hybrid membranes, which illustrates a potential CO2 separation performance by using a mixed matrix membrane strategy with multiple amine POSS as particles.

Abstract Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most used polymers for microporous membrane fabrication due to its good thermal stability, chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and low cost. There have been numerous studies reporting the developments and applications of PP membranes. However, PP membrane with high performance is still a challenge. Thus, this article presents a comprehensive overview of the advances in the preparation, modification and application of PP membrane. The preparation methods of PP membrane are firstly reviewed, followed by the modification approaches of PP membrane. The modifications includes hydrophilic and superhydrophobic modification so that the PP membranes become more suitable to be applied either in aqueous applications or in non-aqueous ones. The fouling resistant of hydrophilized PP membrane and the wetting resistant of superhydrophobized PP membrane are then reviewed. Finally, special attention is given to the various potential applications and industrial outlook of the PP membranes.

Catalytic Support

Pt/UiO-66 nanocomposites with platinum target concentration of 3 wt.% were prepared by 3 preparation methods, characterized and tested in the CO2 methanation process. Choice of the microporous UiO-66 metal-organic framework (Zr6O4(OH)4 with 1,4-benzene-dicarboxylate ligand) as catalytic support was motivated by the CO2 chemisorption capacity (proven by CO2-TPD profiles), large specific surface area (1477 m2/g) which favors a high dispersion of metal nanoparticles and good thermal stability. The preparation methods for the Pt/UiO-66 nanocomposites are: (1) wetimpregnation followed by reduction in H2 at 200 °C for 2 h; (2) wet-impregnation followed by reduction with an aqueous solution of NaBH4; and (3) “double-solvent” method, followed by reduction with NaBH4. The UiO-66 based nanocomposites were characterized by N2 adsorption–desorption (BET method), XRD, and SEM/TEM. The Pt/UiO-66 catalyst prepared by method 3 was chosen for catalytic testing due to its highest surface area, smallest platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) size, the localization of PtNPs both on the grain’s internal and external surface and best thermal stability in the desired temperature range. Its capacity to adsorb and activate CO2 and H2 was evaluated in thermo-programmed desorption experiments (H2-TPD and CO2-TPD). Hydrogen is molecularly adsorbed, while CO2 is adsorbed both molecularly and dissociatively. The catalytic performance in the CO2 methanation process was evaluated by Temperature Programmed Reactions (TPRea, 2 °C/min, 30–350 °C), at atmospheric pressure. The best results were obtained at 350 °C, CO2:H2 molar ratio of 1:5.2 and GHSV ═ 1650 h−1. In these conditions CO2 conversion is almost 50% and CH4 selectivity is 36%, the rest of the converted CO2 being transformed in CO.

CO2 capture from coal- or natural gas-derived flue gas has been widely considered as the next opportunity for the large-scale deployment of gas separation membranes. Despite the tremendous progress made in the synthesis of polymeric membranes with high CO2/N2 separation performance, only a few membrane technologies were advanced to the bench-scale study or above from a highly idealized laboratory setting. Therefore, the recent progress in polymeric membranes is reviewed in the perspectives of capture system energetics, process synthesis, membrane scale-up, modular fabrication, and field tests. These engineering considerations can provide a holistic approach to better guide membrane research and accelerate the commercialization of gas separation membranes for post-combustion carbon capture.

Abstract Currently, there is considerable interest in developing advanced rechargeable batteries that boast efficient distribution of electricity and economic feasibility for use in large-scale energy storage systems. Rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries in terms of rate performance, cost, and safety. In this investigation, we employ Cu3(HHTP)2, a two-dimensional (2D) conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) with large one-dimensional channels, as a zinc battery cathode. Owing to its unique structure, hydrated Zn2+ ions which are inserted directly into the host structure, Cu3(HHTP)2, allow high diffusion rate and low interfacial resistance which enable the Cu3(HHTP)2 cathode to follow the intercalation pseudocapacitance mechanism. Cu3(HHTP)2 exhibits a high reversible capacity of 228 mAh g−1 at 50 mA g−1. At a high current density of 4000 mA g−1 (~18 C), 75.0% of the initial capacity is maintained after 500 cycles. These results provide key insights into high-performance, 2D conductive MOF designs for battery electrodes.

Polymeric membranes for gas separation have application in a wide range of industries such as natural gas sweetening and air enrichment. Recently, high-performance gas separation polymeric membranes have been developed based on a novel thermal rearrangement process that produces the resistant poly(benzoxazole) (TR-PBO). This review reports on the current state of the art TR-PBO membranes for gas separation and the underlying chemistry needed to achieve such high separation performance. Particular focus is applied to copolymers based on TR-PBO for membranes as these have attracted considerable research interest recently for their gas separation performance and superior mechanical properties compared with TR-PBO. Also included in this review is a discussion of the future directions of research on TR-PBO-based membranes for gas separation.

Indole-based poly(ether sulfone)s (PINESs), as novel high-performance polymers, have been obtained by the condensation polymerization of 4-hydroxyindole and hydroquinone with activated difluoro monomers via a catalyst-free nucleophilic substitution reaction. The structures of the polymers are characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and the results show good agreement with the proposed structures. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis measurements exhibit that polymers possess high glass transition temperature ( Tgs > 245°C) and good thermal stability with high decomposition temperatures ( Tds > 440°C). In addition, due to their special structure, PINESs are endowed with significantly strong photonic luminescence in N, N-dimethylformamide.

ABSTRACTReproducible fabrication of high performance metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) from compound semiconductors will require both good interfacial electrical characteristics and good thermal stability. While dielectrics such as SiO2, AIN, and GdGaOx have demonstrated low to moderate interface state densities, questions remain about their thermal stability and reliability, particularly for use in high power or high temperature widebandgap devices. In this paper we will compare the utility of two potential gate dielectric materials: GdOx and GaOx. GdOx has been found to produce layers with excellent surface morphologies as evidenced by surface roughness of less than I nm. Stoichiometric films can be easily obtained over a range of deposition conditions, though deposition temperatures of 500°C appear to offer the optimum interfacial electrical quality. By contrast GaOx films are quite rough, polycrystalline and show poor thermal stability. Further they exhibit a range of stoichiometries depending upon deposition temperature, Ga flux and oxygen flux. This paper will describe the relationship between deposition conditions and film characteristics for both materials, and will present electrical characterization of capacitors fabricated from GdOx on Si.
