In the electro-Fenton system equipped with the fabricated cathode, the tetracycline (TC) removal efficiency reached 93.86% within 150 min, and total organic carbon (TOC) mineralization efficiency obtained 70.73% within 6 h. The excellent cathodic performance was due to the synergistic strategies, including Fe, N, and P co-doping and specific surface area enhancement <em>via</em> Zn modification of biochar which inherently contained endogenous N and P. The Fe/Zn-doped biochar, characterized by a high specific surface area, facilitated the formation of pyridinic-N and iron phosphide(Fe<em><sub>x</sub></em>P), thereby endowing the cathode with enhanced H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> generation and activation capabilities. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer (EPR) test and quenching experiment results showed hydroxyl radicals (OH<sup>•</sup>) and superoxide radicals (O<sub>2</sub><sup>•</sup>⁻) were identified as the primary oxygen-containing reactive species during the electro-Fenton process. Results also indicated that O<sub>2</sub> was first reduced cathodically to O<sub>2</sub><sup>•</sup>⁻ which subsequently combined with a proton to produce H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Then, the generated H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> was activated by the cathodic reactive component (Fe<em><sub>x</sub></em>P). Furthermore, ecotoxicity evaluation of TC degradation intermediates showed an overall trend toward reduced toxicity.

However, it is a high-demand energy process. Hence, developing highly efficient and inexpensive electrocatalysts is essential to overcoming this challenge. The cell voltage of the electrochemical water splitting is between 1.8 and 2 V, much higher than the theoretical minimum value of 1.23V, being the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the most kinetics limiting process, having overpotentials between 210-330 mV at a current density of 30mA cm<sup>-2</sup>. This work develops low-cost and scalable electrodes for OER by electrodeposition of NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) coatings, with different Ni:Fe ratios in the electrodeposition bath. Coating obtained with Ni:Fe ratio of 15:1 exhibits the best catalytic activity for OER and shows the lowest Tafel slope of 38.5 mVdec<sup>-1</sup> and the lowest overpotentials of only 206 and 244 in 1 M NaOH at 30 and 100 mAcm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively, which are the most favorable kinetics parameters respect to those found in literature reports. Furthermore, this developed coating material shows excellent electrocatalytic stability for OER after 80 h of operation at a high current density of 400 mAcm<sup>-2</sup> in an alkaline medium, which is a typical condition for practical operation of electrolyzers. The developed catalytic coating by electrodeposition technique shows high performance and stability, economical and straightforward reproducibility.

The findings highlighted the interplay between the material's recrystallization and its discharge characteristics, along with the corrosion mechanisms active during discharge. Experimental results showed that increased rolling deformation improved both the degree of recrystallization and the anodes' overall discharge performance. Recrystallized grains that were fine and evenly distributed mitigated the depth of corrosion pits, resulting in a smoother electrolyte interface.

A fast charger is a power converter which transforms energy from the AC electricity grid into the rectified DC current needed to charge battery packs. Depending on the type of the charger used, the rectified DC current may inject harmonic current components to the pack. As fast charging is a relatively new technology, limited research output has been found on the application of repetitive cycle tests featuring realistic AC charging current content over a long time. However, several battery testing procedures such as variable power pulses, have been proposed and are widely used to estimate the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries, yet all of them based on well-filtered DC current charging. This article proposes a novel battery testing protocol featuring artificial AC waveform signals used to simulate a fast charger of poor quality applied to commercial electric vehicle batteries. The analysis based on the proposed advanced testing profile estimates that the impact of high amplitude current ripple on battery deterioration can be up to 15% and is capable of providing a robust estimation of the internal impedance associated with a 20% battery capacity loss.","PeriodicalId":305,"journal":{"name":"Electrochimica Acta","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143872472","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}
