In this paper, recycling spent nickel-cadmium (Ni–Cd) batteries in producing a ternary NiO/CdO/Co₃O₄ nanocomposite (BAT) was introduced as a novel, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly procedure. For this purpose, Ni, Cd, and Co elements were recovered, with leaching recoveries of 91, 99, and 99.5 %, respectively, using sulfuric acid. The leach liquor was used as the starting feed material in a sol-gel process. For a comparison matter, the same ternary nanocomposite was synthesized through a conventional co-precipitation method using nitrate precursors as a reference sample (REF). The calculated band gap energy of the BAT and REF was 2.05 and 2.40 eV. The optical properties improvement of the BAT sample, along with the proper contact interface, led to a rate constant of 0.0062 1/min in photocatalytic methylene blue (MB) degradation and 988.2 μmol/g.h in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE). A 2.5 times reduction in the charge transfer resistance from 2110 Ω in the REF sample to 849 Ω in the BAT was also observed. A combination of Z-scheme and type I charge transfer was proposed to justify the higher photocatalytic performance of the BAT sample.

The adsorption of oxygen atoms on metal surfaces is a pivotal factor in the processes of oxidation and corrosion. The results of oxygen adsorption energy calculations indicate that oxygen atoms are most stably adsorbed at sites adjacent to a higher number of Ti atoms on NbTiZr surface. This stability primarily stems from the strong interaction between Ti-<em>t</em>_<em>2g</em> orbitals and oxygen atoms, which is consistent with the experimental observation of a predominantly TiO₂ external oxide layer in NbTi-based alloys. The sequential adsorption of O atoms with different surface coverage rate on NbTiZr surface has also been studied. The calculations reveal that the average adsorption energy per oxygen atom increases with increasing oxygen coverage. And the order of adsorption ability is as follows: Ti &gt; Zr &gt; Nb. Additionally, it is observed that Ti can segregate on the surface, which can enhance both the adsorption and diffusion of oxygen atoms. What's more, based on the calculation results from Pilling Bedworth Ratio (PBR), it is inferred that the spallation observed on the surface of NbTiZr is due to the formation of Nb₁₂O₂₉ and Nb₂O₅, as confirmed experimentally. When the ratio of Ti to O is high, such as in the case of Ti segregation on the surface, the resulting oxide layer is loose and not compact. Additionally, work function measurements indicate that an oxidized surface with segregated elements is less stable than one without such segregation. Consequently, to enhance the oxidation resistance of NbTiZr, it is essential to avoid Ti segregation on the surface through various experimental processing methods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18227,"journal":{"name":"Materials Chemistry and Physics","volume":"337 ","pages":"Article 130616"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143529632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
