However, the existing molten salt system is incapable of meeting the low-cost requirement of industrial production. The selection of molten salt electrolyte is closely related to its thermodynamic properties and its influence on electrolytic extraction in terms of electrochemical reaction and kinetics. Herein, the constructed potential fluoride electrolyte systems (CeF₃-LiF-BaF₂, CeF₃-LiF-NaF, CeF₃-LiF-KF, and CeF₃-LiF-NaF-KF melts) were systematically investigated with respect to theoretical electrochemical window, exchange current density at the molten salt/electrode interface during electrolytic reduction, and the effect of density in rare earth deposition. From a comprehensive point of view, the choice of molten salt system for electrolysis should combine the electrochemical reaction properties of rare earth metal ions in it and the physicochemical properties of the molten salt itself. The CeF₃-LiF-BaF₂ electrolyte was considered as the most promising molten salt system due to its various outstanding parameters (diffusion coefficients: 6.74×10⁻⁷ cm² s⁻¹, exchange current density: 0.649 A cm⁻², density: 4.046 g·cm⁻³).

However, their low electrical conductivity limits electron and ion conduction, leading to poor electrochemical performance. In this work, a novel CTF-based monolayer, namely F and Si co-doped CTF₀ (F,Si-CTF₀), was designed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results demonstrated that the co-doping of F and Si atoms on the CTF₀ surface creates more accessible adsorption sites for Li-ion adsorption. The energy analysis confirmed the stability of the F,Si-CTF₀ monolayer, which exhibits a notable adsorption energy of −3.53 eV for Li-ion. The F,Si-CTF₀ monolayer can accommodate five Li-ions, providing a theoretical specific capacity of 462 mAh g⁻¹ and a positive redox potential of 2.57 V. adsorption of Li ions on the F,Si-CTF₀ monolayer leads to a transition from a semiconducting to a metallic state, resulting in a notable enhancement in electronic conductivity. Moreover, the monolayer undergoes minor lattice variations (1.3 %) throughout the lithiation/delithiation process, demonstrating excellent cycling performance. Finally, Li-ion diffuses rapidly on the monolayer surface with a very small diffusion energy barrier of 0.078 eV. The findings suggest that the F,Si-CTF₀ monolayer can be used as a viable anode material in next-generation LIBs.

However, the practical use of Li-S batteries is significantly hindered by both the shuttle effect and slow conversion of polysulfides. In order to address the shuttle effect of polysulfides, we utilized a Y-MOF derivative Y₂O₃/YS@C composite material as a modifier layer for Li-S battery separators. Initially, we synthesized Y-MOF by reacting tetra-hydroxyacetate yttrium and isophthalic acid in a solution. Subsequently, we sulfurized the Y-MOF precursor with thioacetamide and heat-treated it at high temperature to obtain Y₂O₃/YS@C composite material. The strong affinity of metal sulfides for sulfur provides chemical anchoring ability for polysulfide, while the heterogeneous structure can couple non-homogeneous regions together to produce synergistic effects and better catalyze polysulfides. By using Y₂O₃/YS@C as a separator modifier, we effectively suppressed the shuttle effect of polysulfides and improved electrochemical performance.

To address this issue, a novel nanocomposite comprising Zinc Vanadate (ZVO) was prepared using a common hydrothermal technique and incorporated with multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) to form ZVO/MWCNT nanocomposite. Thus, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) has been modified using this ZVO/MWCNT nanocomposite, which offering a simple and affordable platform for the electrochemical detection of CBZ. The structure and composition of the nanomaterial were confirmed through various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, while its electrochemical characteristics were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. The GCE/ZVO/MWCNT modified electrode exhibited a broad linear response ranging from 0.05 to 110 μM, with a low detection limit of 0.005 μM and high sensitivity (2.93 μA μM⁻¹ cm⁻²), with recoveries ranging from 98 % to 99.93 %, respectively. Moreover, GCE/ZVO/MWCNT electrode demonstrated excellent stability, repeatability, and practical utility for CBZ detection. Based on electrochemical studies that indicate the formation of oxidized products consistent with a 2-electron transfer process. Therefore, this innovative GCE/ZVO/MWCNT modified electrode offers promising prospects for sensitive and selective CBZ determination, with potential applications in environmental monitoring and health protection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":278,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects","volume":"705 ","pages":"Article 135754"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142653962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
