The three-dimensional (3D) hybrid aerogels built from graphene and polypyrrole-derived nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (G-NCNTs) are synthesized by facile hydrothermal and heat treatment process using graphite oxide (GO) and polypyrrole nanotubes (PNTs) as precursors. The 3D G-NCNTs hybrid aerogels, in which the NCNTs are dispersed homogeneously in the graphene sheets, are designed to efficiently...
Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CNx-NTs), platinum (Pt)-based catalysts supports, were prepared by pyrolysis of polypyrrole nanotubes (PPy-NTs), which were synthesized using a self-degraded template method. The morphology, structure and physicochemical properties of CNx-NTs supports and Pt/CNx-NTs catalysts were investigated by scanning electron microscope, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, transmission...
Light-weight porous poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites were prepared by freeze-drying method. The effects of doping rGO nanosheets on the free volume and the thermal conductivity were systematically investigated. Experimental results indicated that the free volume decreased after addition of rGO due to the interfacial interaction between rGO and PVA, such as hydrogen...
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been demonstrated as an advanced support material for Pt nanoparticles (NPs) due to its excellent stability and abundant Lewis acid for anchoring metal NPs. However, its non-conductive nature and low surface areas still impede its application in electrochemical fields. Herein, a π–π stacking method is presented to prepare graphene/ultrathin g-C3N4 nanosheets composite...
A novel nitrogen-doped carbon material with honeycomb-like mesoporous structure was synthesized via carbonization of polyaniline under template and acted as support for the Pt catalyst. Pyrolysis temperature plays a significant role in enhancing electrochemical performance of Pt/mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon (Pt/MNC) catalyst. Considering comprehensively electrocatalytic activity and stability...
The microstructure, rheological and conductive properties of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/polycarbonate (PC) composites were investigated by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, positron annihilation coincidence Doppler broadening (CDB), oscillatory rheometry and electrical resistivity for different MWCNT contents. A 10 orders of magnitude increase in electrical conductivity was achieved...
Photoemission spectra of a C 84 film (mixture of two main isomers) have been measured and analyzed in the photon energy range from 13.4 to 129.3eV. The spectral intensities oscillate distinctly in the whole energy region. We quantitatively calculated the intensities of three lowest-binding-energy features (denoted by A–C). The A/B intensity ratios and the oscillatory behavior for individual...
Chemical vapor deposition growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was studied using three representative carbon source sources: CO, ethanol, and methane, and a catalyst of Ni ions incorporated in MCM-41. The resulting SWCNTs were compared for similar reaction conditions. Carbon deposits were analyzed by multi-excitation wavelength Raman, TGA, TEM and AFM. Catalytic particles in the Ni-MCM-41...
This research is aimed to increase the activity and utilization of Pt–Ru alloy catalysts and thus to lower the catalyst loading in anodes for methanol electrooxidation. The Pt–Ru/C catalysts were prepared by chemical reduction. The support of Vulcan XC-72 carbon black was pretreated by ozone at different temperatures for different times. The specific surface area of the samples was evaluated by the...
