ABSTRACT

The coordinated configuration of atomic platinum (Pt) has always been identified as an active site with high intrinsic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we purposely synthesize single vacancies in a carbon matrix (defective graphene) that can trap atomic Pt to form the Pt-C3 configuration, which gives exceptionally high reactivity for HER in both acidic and alkaline solutions. The intrinsic activity of Pt-C3 site is valued with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 26.41 s-1 and mass activity of 26.05 A g-1 at 100 mV, respectively, which are both nearly 18 times higher than those of commercial 20 wt % Pt/C. It is revealed that the optimal coordination Pt-C3 has a stronger electron-capture ability and lower Gibbs free energy difference (ΔG), resulting in promoting the reduction of adsorbed H+ and the acceleration of H2 desorption, thus exhibiting the extraordinary HER activity. This work provides a new insight on the unique coordinated configuration of dispersive atomic Pt in defective C matrix for superior HER performance.

ABSTRACT

This work focuses on developing a novel adsorbent for CO2 capture, by coating polyethylenimine (PEI) on glass fiber matrix and using epichlorohydrin (ECH) as cross-linking agent. The physicochemical properties of the fibrous adsorbent were characterized. The CO2 adsorption capacity was evaluated. Factors that affect the adsorption capacity of the fibrous adsorbent were studied. The experimental results show that this fibrous PEI adsorbent exhibits a much higher adsorption capacity for CO2 compared with another PEI fiber prepared in our previous work, which employed epoxy resin as the cross-linking agent. A CO2 adsorption capacity as high as 4.12 mmol CO2/g of adsorbent was obtained for this fibrous PEI adsorbent at 30 degrees C, equal to 13.56 mmol CO2/g of PEI, with a PEI/ECH ratio of 20:1. The adsorbent can be completely regenerated at 120 degrees C.
