Electrochemical Performance of a Hybrid NiCo2O4@NiFelt Electrode at Different Operating Temperatures and Electrolyte pH

Transition metals such as nickel and cobalt as an alternative to Pt and Pd can be used for oxygen evolution reactions (OERs) and hydrogen production reactions (HERs) in alkaline environments, facilitating green hydrogen production as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. In this study, an NiCo2O4 catalyst was produced by a sono-hydrothermal method using urea as a hydrolysis agent. The electrochemical performance of the catalyst-coated NiFelt electrode was evaluated at different KOH concentrations (0.25, 0.5, and 1 M) and four operating temperatures in the interval of 20–80 °C. The electrode characteristics were investigated via electrochemical spectroscopy (cyclic voltammetry, EIS, multistep chronopotentiometry, multistep chronoamperometry) using two different reference electrodes (Ag/AgCl and Hg/HgO), to obtain insight into the anodic and cathodic peaks. XRD, SEM, EDS, and TEM analyses confirmed the purity, structure, and nanoscale particle size (20–45 nm) of the NiCo2O4 catalyst. The electrode showed symmetric CV with Ag/AgCl, making this reference electrode more appropriate for capacitance measurements, while Hg/HgO proved advantageous for EIS in alkaline solutions due to reduced noise. The overpotential of the catalyst-coated NiFelt decreased by 108 mV at 10 mA/cm2 compared to bare NiFelt, showing a good potential for its application in anion exchange membranes and alkaline electrolyzers at an industrial scale.

Characteristics candlenut shell-based activated Carbon for reduction Iron (Fe) in surface water from Bratasena Tulang Bawang, Lampung

Candlenut shells are only used as fuel, and some are thrown away, so their use has not been maximized. Because of their high carbon content, candlenut shells may be used to create adsorbents. This study looks at how different activator concentrations of KOH activators can be used to make adsorbents from candlenut shells. The study will investigate how various activator concentrations affect the ability of adsorbents based on candlenut shells to bind molecules. Furthermore, the investigation will examine the possible uses of these adsorbents in diverse sectors, including air purification and wastewater treatment. This research was carried out using the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method, which consisted of 1 activator KOH concentration of 0.5 M, 1 M, 1.5 M, 2 M, and 2.5 M with 3 replications each. The finding demonstrated that adsorbent products activated with 0.5 M KOH yield the highest quality and satisfied SNI 06-3770-1995 requirements for an ash and water content of 10.21% and 0.98%, respectively. The adsorbent product has an iodine absorption capacity of approximately 639.39 mg/g, comparable to SNI 06-3770-1995. For iron metal, the adsorbent product exhibits an adsorption capacity and absorption efficiency of 0.14 mg/g and 98.30%, respectively. The Freundlich adsorption isotherm model is suitable for this investigation, with a Kf value of 0.14 mg/g and an R2 of 0.9999.

Tailoring Macro/Meso/Microporous Structures of Cellophane Noodle-Derived Activated Carbon for Electric Double-Layer Capacitors.

To address the bottleneck associated with the slow ion transport kinetics observed in the porosity of activated carbons (ACs), hierarchically structured pore sizes were introduced on ACs used for electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) to promote ion transport kinetics under fast-rate charge-discharge conditions. In this study, we synthesized cellophane noodle-derived activated carbon (CNAC) with tailored porous structures, including the pore volume fraction of macro/meso/micropores and the specific surface area. The porous structures were effectively modulated by adjusting the KOH concentration during chemical activation. In addition, optimized KOH activation in CNAC modulated the chemical bonding ratios of C=O, pyrrolic-N, and graphitic-N. Given the hierarchically designed porous structure and chemical bonding states, the CNAC fabricated with optimized KOH activation exhibited a superior ultrafast rate capability in EDLCs (132.0 F/g at 10 A/g).

Integrating physical knowledge and artificial intelligence approaches for simulation and optimization of direct urea fuel cell

Direct urea fuel cell (DUFC) has recently gained attention as a potentially effective fuel cell because of urea’s ease of use, low-cost, high-energy density, and toxicity-free nature. To develop a fast and accurate mathematical tool to model and optimize the performance of DUFC, this study, for the first time, combined the kinetic model and artificial intelligence approaches. Accordingly, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed based on the synthetic datasets produced from the verified kinetic model and then was optimized by particle swarm optimization to determine the optimal conditions for DUFC. The peak power density output and substrate-based energy recovery were chosen as the target functions that depend on several fundamental operating and designing parameters (i.e., types of catholyte, membrane thickness, diffusion layer thickness and porosity, feeding flow rate, temperature, urea and KOH concentrations). Along with significantly reducing the computational simulation time to the kinetic model (from 1500 s to 2 s), the proposed approach exhibited superior accuracy compared to the response surface methodology. With nickel nanoparticles as the anode catalyst material and pure oxygen as the catholyte, the highest power density output and energy recovery from DUFC were predicted at 15.1 mW/cm2 and 19.6 %, respectively. On the other hand, with the natural air supply, the optimal power density and energy recovery values were only 14.4 mW/cm2 and 18.9 %, respectively, due to lower oxygen concentration. These poor performances suggest that more efficient catalyst materials for DUFC need to be further investigated and applied.

The Dominant Effect of Electrolyte Concentration on Rechargeability of γ-MnO2 Cathodes in Alkaline Batteries

Achieving high cycle life rechargeable γ-MnO2 cathodes in alkaline batteries face many challenges. Chief among these is the inability of the γ-MnO2 polymorph to retain its structural integrity when cycled to high utilization of its theoretical capacity ∼300 mAh g−1. In this paper, we investigate the root cause of failure of MnO2 cathodes under deep cycling in the one-electron discharge range and establish a strong link between capacity fade and the amount of birnessite formed. We uncover the underlying cause of failure by cycling industrial scale γ-MnO2 cathodes at various levels of theoretical capacity utilization (100%, 50%, and 30%) and in different KOH concentrations (37, 25, and 10 wt%). To determine materials evolution the cycled cathodes were dissected, characterized and analyzed using SEM, XRD, FIB/SEM, EIS, and XPS. Based on our findings, we propose that one major cause of failure of MnO2 cathodes stems from the solubility of Mn+3 formed during discharge which effectively results in destruction of the γ-MnO2 phase and amorphization of the cathode. The results show that the bulk of the γ-MnO2 phase is preserved only in ∼10 wt% KOH, which indicates the attractive range of KOH concentration for cycling of rechargeable γ-MnO2 cathodes.

Simultaneous determination of several forms of phosphate in food by ion exchange chromatography

The phosphate group is a group of food additives commonly used for moisturizing, improving the structure, and retaining the color and flavor of products prepared from meat, fish, milk, baked goods, and beverages. A reliable and fast ion exchange chromatography method developed for the simultaneous determination of several forms of phosphate (orthophosphoric acid; pyrophosphate, triphosphate, and hexametaphosphate) in food. Samples were extracted with deionized water at a temperature of 25 ± 5oC for 30 minutes. The extracts were determined by ion exchange chromatography under the conditions: Dionex IonPacTM AS11 column (4 x 250 mm, 9 µm) and Dionex IonPaxTM AG11 column (4 x 50 mm, 9 µm) with the gradient program of KOH concentration from 20 mM to 80 mM. The flow rate is 1 mL/min. The method has good specificity, the calibration curves of the four substances have correlation coefficient values R2 > 0.9999, repeatability and recovery meet the requirements of AOAC. The detection limits (LOD) and quantification limit (LOQ) of each substance in the phosphate group are 12 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg, respectively. The method was applied to simultaneously determine several forms of phosphate in 50 food samples: 15/50 samples detected pyrophosphate, 2/50 samples detected triphosphate, 18/50 samples detected hexametaphosphate and 44/50 samples detected ortho-phosphoric acid, 6/50 samples not detected any form of phosphate. The concentration of phosphate group in detected samples varied from 67.9 mg/kg to 2499 mg/kg.

Preparation of porous biochar from fusarium wilt-infected banana straw for remediation of cadmium pollution in water bodies

The problem of cadmium pollution and its control is becoming increasingly severe issue in the world. Banana straw is an abundant bio raw material, but its burning or discarding in field not only causes pollution but also spreads fusarium wilt. The objective of this paper is to utilize biochar derived from the wilt-infected banana straw for remediation of Cd(II) pollution while to eliminate the pathogen. The activity of wilt pathogen in biochar was determined by PDA petri dish test. The Cd(II) adsorption of the biochar was determined by batch adsorption experiments. The effects of KOH concentration (0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 M) on the physicochemical characteristics of the biochar were also observed by BET, SEM, FTIR, XRD and XPS. Results showed that pristine banana straw biochar (PBBC) did not harbor any pathogen. The specific surface area (SSA) and Cd(II) adsorption capacity of 0.75 M KOH modified banana straw biochar (MBBC0.75M) were increased by 247.2% and 46.1% compared to that of PBBC, respectively. Cd(II) adsorption by MBBC0.75M was suitable to be described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm. After Cd(II) adsorption, the CdCO3 were confirmed by XRD and observed through SEM. The weakness and shift of oxygen-containing functional groups in MBBC0.75M after Cd(II) adsorption implied that those groups were complexed with Cd(II). The results showed that pyrolysis could not only eliminate banana fusarium wilt, but also prepare porous biochar with the wilt-infected banana straw. The porous biochar possessed the potential to adsorb Cd(II) pollutants.

Improved microwave-assisted saponification to reduce the variability of MOAH determination in edible oils

BackgroundMineral oil aromatic hydrocarbon (MOAH) analysis in foods is a major analytical challenge. Quantification is associated with a high uncertainty. The sources of uncertainty are multiple, but the major one is related to data interpretation and integration, which is partially derived from insufficiently efficient sample preparation. Recently, an updated ISO method for the analysis of mineral oil in fats and oils and a standard operating procedure for infant formula analysis have been published. Both methods reported significantly different (up to 1.25) distributions of the internal standards used for quantification (i.e., tri-tert-butyl benzene (TBB) and 2-methyl naphthalene (2-MN)) over the different solvent phases used in the saponification step. ResultsIn this work, a microwave-assisted saponification and extraction method was optimized for MOAH analysis to solve the problem related to the MOAH internal standards partition. The paper examines the impact of the solvent mixture used, the concentration of KOH on the partition of TBB and 2-MN, and the effect of the matrix and the washing step to extract the unsaponifiable fraction containing the mineral oils. SignificanceThe optimized procedure achieved a TBB/2-MN ratio of 1.05 ± 0.01 tested in five different fats and oils, namely, sunflower, rapeseed, coconut, palm, and extra virgin olive oils. The method can significantly contribute to reducing the uncertainty of the MOAH quantification when saponification is applied.

Влияние минерализатора и продолжительности синтеза на сорбционные свойства ситинакита и иванюкита

Titanosilicates with the structure of sitinakite and ivanyukite were synthesized with the use of enrichment wastes of quartz-leucoxene concentrate (Yarega deposit, Komi Republic) by autoclave method. It was found that using a mixture of mineralizer KOH and NaOH at a concentration of 0.15 and 1 mol/l, K-Na sitinakite was formed. Increasing the concentration of KOH to 0.45 mol/L and decreasing NaOH to 0.7 mol/L led to crystallization of ivanyukite. The obtained titanosilicates are characterized by high sorption activity towards Sr2+ and Cs+ cations. Sorption capacity of K-Na sitinakite and ivanyukite for Sr2+ was 95–110 and 102–114 mg/g, respectively. The Cs+ sorption capacity for K-Na sitinakite is 240 mg/g, the sorption capacity for ivanyukite is much higher — 370–380 mg/g. It was shown that the differences in the sorption capacity of K-Na sitinakite and ivanyukite are caused by the features of the crystal structure.

Controlled Synthesis of Bead‐like Pt as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Electrocatalytic Ammonia Oxidation

AbstractPromoting electrocatalytic ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) holds the key to develop efficient direct ammonia fuel cells (DAFCs) and ammonia‐mediated hydrogen production (AMHP). Recent investigations indicated that Pt with the exposure of (100) facet has a moderate *N intermediate bonding strength, resulting in the highest AOR electrocatalytic activity among others. Therefore, maximizing the exposure of (100) planes with high active surface area is highly desired for efficient electrocatalysts. In this paper, Pt catalyst composed of directional alignment of nanoparticles around 50 nm (Pt‐100/C) were synthesized by hydrothermal method in the presence of KOH. The KOH concentration was found to modulate the one‐dimensional alignment of nanoparticles. The electrocatalyst showed the largest electrochemically active areas and the highest peak current density (3.14 mA cm−2), and the catalyst exhibited high stability after 500 cycles. A series of electrochemical tests and structural characterizations show that unique bead‐structured Pt combines the excellent activity of nanoparticles with the structural stability of nanowires. A scheme for “exchanging electrodes” has been proposed to solve the problem of catalyst poisoning caused by AOR in AMHP.

AAS, FTIR and SEM were analyzed after impregnation with different concentrations and times. The results of the analysis of potassium metal showed the highest absorption occurred at a concentration of 5N within 21 hours at 25.4570%. The application of the activated carbon catalyst from palm kernel shells was conducted in making biodiesel. The process of making biodiesel was carried out with a reaction time of 120 minutes at a temperature of 60℃ with a molar ratio of 1: 12 using a catalyst of 2% (% w/w). Biodiesel yield testing referred to SNI 04-7182-2015. The analysis results obtained showed 879 kg/m3 density, 6.1 cst viscosity, 0.5 acid number, and 174℃ flash point.

Potassium-Hydrogen Hybrid Ion Alkaline Battery: A New Rechargeable Aqueous Battery Combined a K+ Storage Cathode and an Electrochemical Hydrogen Storage Anode.

A rechargeable aqueous hybrid ion alkaline battery, using a proton and a potassium ion as charge carriers for the anode and cathode, respectively, is proposed in this study by using well-developed potassium nickel hexacyanoferrate as the cathode material and mesoporous carbon sheets as the anode material, respectively. The constructed battery operates in a concentrated KOH solution, in which the energy storage mechanism for potassium nickel hexacyanoferrate involves the redox reaction of Fe2+/Fe3+ associated with potassium ion insertion/extraction and the redox reaction of Ni(OH)2/NiOOH. The mechanism for the carbon anode is electrochemical hydrogen storage. The cathode made of potassium nickel hexacyanoferrate exhibits both an ultrahigh capacity of 232.7 mAh g-1 under 100 mA g-1 and a consistent performance of 214 mAh g-1 at 2000 mA g-1 (with a capacity retention of 92.8% after 200 cycles). The mesoporous carbon sheet anode exhibits a capacity of 87.6 mAh·g-1 at 100 mA g-1 with a good rate and cyclic performance. The full cell provides an operational voltage of 1.55 V, a capacity of 93.6 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1, and 82.4% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 2000 mA g-1 along with a low self-discharge rate. The investigation and discussion about the energy storage mechanisms for both electrode materials are also provided.

Preparation and Characterization of Cellulose Derivatives from Agricultural Wastes

Background: Rice straw was pretreated with dilute alkaline and acid solutions to extract cellulose, which was then converted into cellulose acetate with acetic anhydride and phosphotungstic acid (H3PW12O40·6H2O). The concentration of KOH and the duration of immersion in acetic acid solution affected the removal of hemicellulose and lignin, and after pretreatment with 4% KOH and immersion in acetic acid for 5 hours, the treated rice straw contained 83wt.% cellulose. Phosphotungstic acid has been shown to be an excellent catalyst for the acetylation of rice straw cellulose. The degree of substitution (DS) values had a substantial effect on the solubility of cellulose acetate, and acetone-soluble cellulose acetate with DS values about 2.2 can be generated by varying the amount of phosphotungstic acid and acetylation duration. Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the preparation and characterization of cellulose derivatives from agricultural wastes. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Communicable Diseases Control, Director General of Health Services, Dhaka, Bangladesh. For this investigation the rice plant straw was collected from Magura district region. The collected straws were then treated with 3 wt% nitric acid and 1.5 wt% NaOH solution separately. Statistical analyses of the results were be obtained by using window-based Microsoft Excel and Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-24). Results: This study observed that the rice straw contained about 35.67% cellulose, 5.50% hemicellulose and 30.18 % α-cellulose. And the wheat straw contained about 43.99% cellulose, 7.30% hemicellulose and 36.70% α-cellulose. The degree of acetylation and degree of substitution of the synthesized cellulose acetate from rice straw were 39.046% and 2.413 respectively. On the other hand, the degree of acetylation and degree of substitution of the synthesized cellulose acetate from wheat straw were 40.79% and 2.59 respectively. ....

Synthesis of kaliophilite by alkaline fusion and ultrasonic treatment method from kaolin raw material

Mexico has important kaolin deposits, which must be assessed to obtain products with a high commercial value, such as kaliophilite as raw material for biodiesel production. Two kaolins, A and B, with approximate SiO2:Al2O3 ratios of 1 and 1.2, respectively, were used as raw materials to produce kaliophilite. Both kaolins were obtained from the municipality of Agua Blanca in the State of Hidalgo, Mexico. Kaolins are a source of Al and Si for the synthesis of kaliophilite through an alkali fusion process at 700 °C followed by ultrasonic treatment at 28 kHz to different times and for Kaolin-KOH ratios of 1:1 and 1:1.2 (mass: mass). The kaolins as received and the alkaline mixtures heat and ultrasonically treated were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The most suitable kaolin for synthesizing kaliophilite was kaolin A with the Si/Al mass ratio of approximately 1, which exhibited a higher crystallinity index range from 54 to 79.6%. Higher KOH concentrations promote the amorphous material formation decreasing the kaliophilite amount. The crystallinity index was increased when the time of ultrasonic treatment was increased.

Analysis of biodiesel and fatty acids using state-of-the-art methods from non-edible plants seed oil; Nicotiana tobaccum and Olea ferruginia

The long-term socioeconomic and environmental alternative to fossil fuels is biodiesel. Current biodiesel manufacturing research has developed competitive, sustainable methods. The study validates and explains biodiesel benefits while increasing output. Physicochemical characterizations, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), elemental analysis (EA), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission (ICP-OES), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are studied. In this study, we discovered two inedible plant seeds, specifically Olea ferruginea (OF) and Nicotiana tobaccum (NT), which exhibited significant oil contents of 30–49% by weight; both seeds had minimal amounts of free fatty acids contents of 1.1% and 0.9%, and biodiesel yield 96.4–97.9% after an optimization process, i.e., methanol/ oil ratio (6:1), KOH concentration (0.32), temperature (65 °C), stirring rate (700 rpm), and time (60 mins). A comprehensive analysis was performed to investigate and contrast the physical, chemical, and compositional attributes of the FAMEs with those of mineral diesel. Gas chromatography determined biodiesel's chemical composition and detected various fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) i.e. palmitic (9.7–14.0), stearic (1.8–3.2), oleic (25.5–47.2), linoleic (8.5–32.2), α-Linolenic (3.6–1.1), arachidic (2.4–0.8), and gondoic acid was (48.5–0.5%), respectively. In novel biodiesel characterization, NMR spectroscopy defines and assigns sample chemical structures to identify and quantify unsaturated long-chain alkyl esters. NMR spectroscopic biodiesel methanol quantification is an alternative to official methods. 1H NMR revealed the molecular hydrogen nuclei. This study examines all biodiesel purity and transesterification performance parameters. Producing cost-effective and optimal biodiesel requires the intent of these properties. Inedible seeds can be cultivated in infertile terrain to improve biodiesel production and solve the energy dilemma.

PENGARUH KONSENTRASI KOH PADA PROSES EKSTRAKSI RUMPUT LAUT (Kappaphycus alvarezii) TERHADAP SIFAT ALKALI TREATED COTONII (ATC)

One of the superior fishery commodities abundant in Indonesian waters is Kappaphycus alvarezii seaweed. The seaweed type K. alvarezii can be used to make Alkali Treated Cottonii (ATC), a raw material for carrageenan. Making ATC goes through seaweed extraction stages, which can be done using conventional methods. Data collection for this research was carried out using observation, interviews, and active participation. The results of ATC processing using conventional methods and variations of KOH show that the administration of KOH affects the quality of the ATC product; the higher the ATC, the higher the yield percentage and temperature produced by the extract solution. The best use of KOH is in the treatment with a KOH concentration of 8%, a water content of 13.73%, a yield of 73.62%, and a temperature of 58.15%.

Nitridated Nickel Mesh as Industrial Water and Alcohol Oxidation Catalyst: Reconstruction and Iron‐Incorporation Matters

AbstractNickel mesh (NM) is used in industrial alkaline water electrolyzers due to its cost‐effectiveness and conductivity. However, the decisive factors that advance the efficiency and sustainability of such electrodes are only partially understood. Herein, an efficient NM‐based electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction is developed via a single‐step nitridation route on a commercially used NM substrate and sheds light on the role of reconstruction and iron content to boost catalyst performance and durability. Remarkably, the activated Ni3N/NM catalyst required an overpotential of 0.46 V to deliver 1 A cm−2 in ambient conditions (1 M KOH, 25 °C). This overpotential decreases substantially to 0.28 V in industrially relevant conditions (6 M KOH, 85 °C) and is maintained for 235 h. Ni3N/NM partially transformed into NiFe layered (oxy)hydroxide in both conditions, while the active structure's Fe content is reconstruction condition dependent (temperature and KOH concentration). Electrodes reconstructed under industrially relevant conditions performed better than ambient reconstructed ones due to a more pronounced iron‐incorporation from KOH and the evolution of porous morphologies. In industrial environments, activated Ni3N/NM excels in selectively converting benzyl alcohol to benzoic acid, achieving an impressive yield of 96%.

Analytical study of KOH wet etch surface passivation for III-nitride micropillars

III-Nitride micropillar structures show great promise for applications in micro light-emitting diodes and vertical power transistors due to their excellent scalability and outstanding electrical properties. Typically, III-Nitride micropillars are fabricated through a top-down approach using reactive ion etch which leads to roughened, nonvertical sidewalls that results in significant performance degradation. Thus, it isessential to remove this plasma etch induced surface damage. Here, we show that potassium hydroxide(KOH) acts as a crystallographic etchant for III-Nitride micropillars, preferentially exposing the vertical m-plane, and effectively removing dry etch damage and reducing the structure diameter at up to 36.6nm/min. Both KOH solution temperature and concentration have a dramatic effect on this wet etch progression. We found that a solution of 20% AZ400K (2% KOH) at 90°C is effective at producingsmooth, highly vertical sidewalls with RMS surface roughness as low as 2.59nm, ideal for high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Thermochemistry of the dissolution of tetra-4-sulfophthalocyanine nickel in aqueous solutions KОН at 298.15 K

We have obtained a nickel tetra-4-sulfophthalocyanine complex, soluble in water. The standard enthalpies of formation of a compound can be considered as the sum of the additive group contributions of fragments of these molecules. We assessed this value using a method based on group systematics with a Benson-type classification of fragments, taking into account the influence of the primary environment of the atoms. In order to obtain the value of the contribution of Ecompl(N)4-Ni, we used the bomb calorimetry method. The enthalpy of combustion of tetrakis (4-methoxyphenyl) porphine and its complex with nickel tetrakis (4-methoxyphenyl) porphine nickel were experimentally determined. Thermal effects of dissolution of crystalline nickel tetra-4-sulfophthalocyanine in aqueous solutions of various KOH concentrations (from 0.002 to 0.02 mol∙L−1) at 298.15 K were determined by the direct calorimetric method. The measurements were carried out in a calorimeter with an isothermal shell equipped with a reaction vessel with a volume of 60 cm3, electric calibration at T = (293.15–308.15) ± 0.01 K and P = 100.5 ± 0.7 kPa, and automatic temperature registration. The standard enthalpy of formation of dissociation products of the tetra-4-sulfophthalocyanine complex with nickel in an aqueous solution has been calculated.
