Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites have been widely used in various fields and have inevitably produced large amounts of composite waste. The recycling of carbon fibers with high value has become an active research topic at related institutions and production enterprises. In this paper, the catalytic pyrolysis of T700 carbon fiber/epoxy composites in molten salt was studied. Due to the efficient solubility of molten ZnCl2 for the epoxy matrix and catalytic fracture of the C–N bonds by the action of Zn2+ ions, the epoxy composites can be completely degraded at 360 °C in 80 min under standard pressure, and the reclamation efficiency was significantly enhanced compared with conventional pyrolysis reclamation without a catalyst. The types and contents of the main oxygen-containing functional groups on the surfaces of the fibers reclaimed with ZnCl2 were similar to those of the virgin fibers, and the graphitization structure of the carbon fibers was not destroyed in the pyrolysis process. The tensile strength of a monofilament of the fibers reclaimed with ZnCl2 was obviously higher than that of fibers reclaimed in air; it reached a high retention rate that was about 95% that of the virgin fibers. The fibers reclaimed with ZnCl2 after sizing exhibited a desirable reinforcing effect on the flexure performance and interlaminar shear strength of unidirectional carbon fiber/epoxy composites which was close to the performance levels of composite samples containing commercial T700 carbon fibers. Therefore, efficient technology to reclaim high-quality carbon fibers from epoxy matrices has been devised.

A strategy of in-stack dry reforming of methane (DRM) is proposed by using La 0.6 Sr 0.2 Cr 0.85 Ni 0.15 O 3-δ -loaded Ni foam (LSCrN@NF) as a CH 4 –CO 2 reformer, fuel gas distributor, and anode current collector in a SOFC stack. The prepared LSCrN exists as a single phase in a perovskite structure ; its reduced form contains exsolved Ni nanoparticles embedded on the surface of the LSCrN substrate. Introduced into an NF, the reduced LSCrN@NF demonstrates high DRM activity that increases with the increase of LSCrN amount to an optimum of about 42%. With the LSCrN@NF in-stack DRM, the conversions of CH 4 and CO 2 into CO and H 2 increase. Thus, the electrode polarization resistance, including the cathode and anode , decreases to 0.62, 1.07, and 3.93 Ω cm 2 at 800 °C, 750 °C, and 700 °C, respectively. Consequently, the peak power density (PPD) of the cell using 45% CH 4 -45% CO 2 –10% N 2 as fuel is 1.17, 0.94, and 0.47 W cm −2 , significantly higher than that of the cell without LSCrN@NF in-stack DRM. In addition, the voltage of the cell with LSCrN@NF in-stack DRM is stable on a level between 0.81 and 0.82 V at 400 mA cm −2 and 750 °C for 270 h without detected carbon deposition in the Ni–Y 2 O 3 stabilized ZrO 2 anode. This LSCrN@NF in-stack DRM strategy is also adopted with a large-scale (13 × 13 cm 2 ) single cell, which shows an extrapolated PPD of 428.3 mW cm −2 at 750 °C and is operated for 40 h at 400 mA cm −2 without noticeable performance degradation .

Developing non-noble metal catalysts with excellent electrocatalytic performance and stability is of great significance to hydrogen production by water electrolysis, but there are still problems of low activity, complex preparation and high cost. Herein, we fabricated a novel Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 dual-functional electrocatalyst by a one-step fast electrodeposition on nickel foam (NF). While maintaining the electrocatalytic performance of Ni 3 S 2 , the existence of heterostructure and Ni(OH) 2 co-catalyst function greatly improves the overall water splitting performance of Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 –NF. Hence, It shows a low overpotential of 66 mV at 10 mA cm −2 for HER and 249 mV at 20 mA cm −2 for OER. The dual-functional electrocatalyst needs only 1.58 V at 20 mA cm −2 when assembled two-electrode electrolytic cell. Impressively, the electrocatalyst also shows outstanding catalytic stability for about 800 h when 20 and 50 mA cm −2 constant current was applied, respectively which demonstrates a potential electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Recently, the development of high-performance bifunctional oxygen catalysts integrated with flexible conductive scaffolds for rechargeable metal-air batteries has attracted considerable interest, driving by fast-growing wearable electronics . Herein, we report a flexible bifunctional oxygen catalyst thin film consisting of Co–N–C bifunctional catalysts embedding in carbon nanotube (CNT) networks. The catalyst is readily prepared by pyrolysis of cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-67) that are in-situ synthesized in CNT networks. Such catalyst film demonstrates very high catalytic activities for oxygen reduction (onset potential: 0.91 V, and half-wave potential: 0.87 V vs. RHE) and oxygen evolution (10 mA cm −2 at 1.58 V) reactions, high methanol tolerance property, and long-term stability (97% current retention). Moreover, our integrated catalyst film shows very good structure flexibility and robustness. Based on the obtained film air electrodes, flexible Zn–air batteries demonstrate low charging and discharging overpotentials (0.82 V at 1 mA cm −1 ) and excellent structure stability in the bending tests . These results indicate that presently reported catalyst films are potential air electrodes for flexible metal–air batteries.

A weakly acidic H 3 BO 3 solution (pH = 5.1) was used to synthesize new oxygen-evolution catalysts for water splitting under mild conditions. Two novel oxygen-evolution catalysts, Co–BA i and Mn–BA i (BA i = inorganic boric acid), were obtained in the H 3 BO 3 solution with added Co 2+ and Mn 2+ , respectively. The average oxygen evolution rate in the H 3 BO 3 solution with Co 2+ was 0.3133 μmol/h, about 70 times greater than the rate without a metal ion ; the rate with Mn 2+ was 1.13 μmol/h, about 250 times greater. The phases, morphologies, and compositions of the Co–BA i and Mn–BA i catalysts were analysed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy .

In this work, we fabricated NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ @NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Nd 3+ @TiO 2 (Tm@Nd@TiO 2 ) core@shell nanoparticles and investigated their near-infrared (NIR) photocatalytic activities. Comparing to traditional TiO 2 based upconversion (UC) photocatalysts (i.e., NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ @TiO 2 , named Tm@TiO 2 ), Tm@Nd@TiO 2 exhibits enhanced photocatalytic activity under NIR light irradiation. The photocatalytic activity of Tm@Nd@TiO 2 under 980, 808, and 980 + 808 nm laser irradiation is 4.40, 5.84, and 9.83 times as high as that of Tm@TiO 2 under only 980 nm irradiation, respectively. The ethylene degradation rate of Tm@Nd@TiO 2 under 980 + 808 nm laser irradiation is 6.4 times as that of Tm@TiO 2 . The photocatalytic activity of Tm@Nd@TiO 2 under visible + NIR irradiation is even comparable with (∼2/3) that under UV light irradiation during Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Tm@Nd@TiO 2 can be attributed to the stronger light absorption in NIR region ascribed to Nd 3+ , lower water absorption and the enhanced UC emission of Tm@Nd with unique core@shell nanostructures. This work can provide a possible route to improve the NIR photocatalytic activity and stimulate the applications in many other fields.

Narrow bandgap semiconductor MgIn 2 S 4 has been readily grown onto In 2 O 3 nanofibers by an in situ growing method. The so-formed MgIn 2 S 4 -In 2 O 3 hybrid nanofibers are characterized by strong visible light absorption and intimate MgIn 2 S 4 /In 2 O 3 heterointerfaces. Under visible light illumination ( λ ≥ 400 nm), the hybrid nanofibers demonstrate an exceptionally high photocatalytic activity for Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) disinfection, outcompeting pristine MgIn 2 S 4 , naked In 2 O 3 nanofibers, and many other photocatalytic systems reported. Specifically, the hybrid nanofibers achieve a 7 log reduction in viable cells for merely 20 min illumination while pristine MgIn 2 S 4 and naked In 2 O 3 nanofibers alone are almost inactive. Further analysis indicates that the hybrid nanofibers essentially form a type-II semiconductor heterojunctions which enable spatial separation of photocarriers. Owing to the intimate heterointerfaces, photocarriers can be promptly separated and accumulated respectively in In 2 O 3 and MgIn 2 S 4 thereby allowing continuous generation of copious reactive species for disinfection. This work signifies the usefulness of heterointerfaces in promoting photocarrier separation and provides a useful strategy to upgrade photocatalytic performance from otherwise almost inactive semiconductors.

Palladium catalyst (Pd) are made attention to application in alcohol fuel cells due to unique performance, as well as the resource abundance and low cost, but the catalyst performance and stability of the catalysts are still not satisfied. In this article, the novel PdFe/B-N-G catalysts with the double element alloying and dual-doping for ethanol electro-oxidation are successfully prepared and determined by XRD, TEM and XPS. TEM results reveal a relatively uniform and high dispersion of Pd particles is observed on PdFe/B-N-G catalyst. The XPS analysis indicates that Pd(0) contents of the PdFe/B-N-G catalyst are increased on account of the B, N-doping effect. Being explored as the catalyst to the ethanol oxidation reactions, the PdFe/B-N-G catalysts exhibit the better electrocatalytic activity with higher current densities and catalyst stability compared to those of PdFe/G and Pd/B-N-G, which can be attributed to the synergistic effect of the enhanced PdFe alloying and the B, N-doping, that can produce more activity sites dispersing on the surface of graphene. Thus, the novel PdFe/B-N-G catalysts can be the potential alternate in alcohol fuel cells.

A novel S/BiOCl thermocatalyst in response to heat excitation was successfully synthesized by a one-step method and then added into polymeric matrix to give corresponding films. The results obtained show that the surfaces of as-prepared films with S/BiOCl were truly degraded via thermocatalytic reactions at ambient conditions. The average molecular weights of experimental films have fallen dramatically, comparing to the comparisons. In addition, the changes of chemical groups were simultaneously observed in the process. Thus this thermocatalytic process maybe a very fascinating route to come true the degradation of polymeric films with lower temperature triggered.

Four types of palladium (Pd) nanoparticles were prepared from the systems containing PdCl2 or Na2PdCl4 with or without the assistance of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). Two types of Pd nanoparticles obtained in the absence of PVP were obviously larger than those synthesized with the assistance of PVP. The former large Pd particles showed typical features in cyclic voltammetry in H2SO4 solution, whereas two types of small Pd nanoparticles did not. However, small nanoparticles treated first in an electrochemical way in 0.5 M KOH solution displayed the adsorption and desorption peaks similar to those of typical Pd-modified electrodes in H2SO4 solution. Large Pd nanoparticles from the PdCl2 synthesis system showed a catalytic specific current of 629 mA/mg in the electrocatalysis of ethanol, whereas large particles from the Na2PdCl4 system showed a current of 262 mA/mg. The maximum catalytic currents of small Pd nanoparticles without surface cleaning treatment were 1382 and 1019 mA/mg for samples from the Na2PdCl4 and PdCl2 systems, respectively, higher than those being treated in KOH solution first, and the electrocatalytic stability of the two untreated samples was better. However, small nanoparticles after the electrochemical treatment can reach the maximum catalytic current faster. The synthesis and structure–property relation of four types of Pd nanoparticles have been discussed and analyzed on the basis of systematically experimental data.

Lowering the dehydrogenation temperature and maintaining high dehydrogenation capacity are greatly hindering the practical application of α-AlH 3 for the hydrogen fuel cell industry. Herein, the layered accordion-like V 2 C MXene is synthesized and doped into α-AlH 3 by mild ball milling . The 1 wt.% V 2 C-catalyzed α-AlH 3 possesses excellent dehydrogenation performance with a low initial decomposition temperature of 70.5 °C and a high hydrogen release capacity of 8.1 wt.%. Furthermore, 7.8 wt.% of hydrogen could be quickly released from α-AlH 3 -1 wt.% V 2 C composite within 15 min at 120 °C, with a lower activation energy of 69.5 kJ/mol than that of as-received sample. The excellent dehydrogenation performance is attributed to the high activity of the zero valence V catalyst which is transformed from the multivalent V during ball milling and to promote dissociation and reorganization of hydrogen. This effective approach significantly enhances the dehydrogenation of α-AlH 3 , providing a hopeful approach for modifying metal hydrides .
