The study reports the construction of NbVO electrode material via coordination of Nb(V) and V(V) with histidine and serine-functionalized and boron-doped graphene quantum dot (HSBGQD) and subsequent annealing. The introduction of HSBGQD and rambutan peel leads to formation of small NbVO nanocrystal and low valent Nb and V species. The combination of small size and more reasonable tunnel structure accelerates the ion diffusion. The Nb(IV) and V(IV) double doping optimizes the tunnel structure, narrows the bandgap and creates new pathways for high-speed electron transfer. The integration of defect engineering with graphene surface modification enhance the intrinsic conductivity. The NbVO electrode shows exceptionally high specific capacitance of 2925.3 F/g, which is more than 142 times that of NbO. The symmetrical supercapacitor with NbVO electrodes and PVA/LiSO gel electrolyte offers high specific capacitance (263 F/g at 1 A/g), high-rage capacity (138 F/g at 50 A/g), cycling stability (capacitance retention of 95.2 % after 10,000-cycle), energy density (146 W h Kg at 996 W Kg and 77 W h Kg at 50181 W kg) and broad application prospect in wearable electronic devices.","PeriodicalId":363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141569157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research provided low- and high-grade manganese dioxide ores to examine SO removal in a packed bed reactor. To obtain characteristic parameters of mineral sorbents, XRD, XRF, BET, and mercury porosimetry were employed. Then, kinetic parameters of desulfurization reaction were determined using thermogravimeter analyzer (TGA) and random pore model (RPM) for a single pellet. In desulfurization experiments of simulated flue gas in a packed bed reactor and mass spectrometer (MS) apparatus, the breakthrough times were measured under various operating conditions. The onset of these breakthrough times or life-time of MnO reactor for the SO removal was predicted successfully by RPM for a packed bed reactor using related kinetic constants from TGA. In addition, reacted sorbets were recycled multiple times after washing with water. Not only does this simple method separate MnSO from unreacted sorbents as a valuable byproduct to reduce the FGD cost, but it also improves pore size distribution (PSD) of mineral MnO by creating large pores. Modified PSD of this recycled sorbent caused increased breakthrough time.","PeriodicalId":363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the binder-free electrode is an effective method to enhance the electrochemical performance and energy density of electrodes. The different fabrication technologies for binder-free electrodes have been explored in detail, especially focusing on surface growth on current collectors, self-assembly techniques, and the new technological methods. The design of electrochemically active materials, including carbon, metal compounds, and conductive polymers have been emphasized, along with the optimization of processes and the enhancement of performance, interface engineering and improvements in electrode functionality, the utilization of multifunctional performance materials, and the design and optimization strategies grounded in theoretical simulations. Depending on the actual situation, binder-free electrodes can increase energy density and specific capacitance 10% to 30% approximately.
