Nanosize anatase TiO2 powders have been synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis by using technical grade TiOSO4 as precursor and urea as precipitating agent. The initial pressure of the reaction system was set at 6 MPa. Stirring speed was fixed at 300r/min. The reaction system reacted at the temperature ranged from 110 to 150°C for holding 2hrs to 8hrs and the concentration of the precursor was ranged from 0.25M to1.5M. XRD patterns show that the synthesized powders are in the form of anatase phase. Calculated grain size is ranged from 6.7 to 8.9nm by Scherrer method from the line broadening of the (101) diffraction peak of anatase. The specific surface area of the powders synthesized under different conditions is ranged from 124 to 240m2/g. The grain size of the powders increases with the increase of the reaction temperature, holding time and precursor concentration, respectively. The specific surface area decreases with the increase of reaction temperature and holding time, and does not obviously change with the change of precursor concentration when the concentration of the precursor is less than 1M. However, when the concentration is higher than 1M, the specific surface area will decrease quickly with the increase of the precursor concentration. XRD and DSC-TG analysis shows that the synthesized anatase TiO2 will begin to transform to rutile TiO2 at about 840°C. When heated to 1000°C for holding 1h, the anatase powders will transform to rutile completely.

Supercapacitor with high specific capacity is desirable for various energy storage and high powerdensity applications. Though Graphene has been the preferred material for high current density, nanocomposites have been attempted to increase the specific capacitance. Hydrothermal synthesis of cadmium sulfide/graphene (CdS/G) nanocomposite with CdS nanoparticles anchored/decorated over the graphene sheets is reported. The structural studies reveal the hexagonal phase of the prepared materials. The specific surface area (BET) and porosity is found to increase upon nanocomposite formation. The electrochemical characteristics such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), GCD and EIS of the CdS/G nanocomposite have been investigated. The capacitance of CdS/G nanocomposite almost doubled to 248 Fg−1 indicating the enhanced performance of the nanocomposite system and in addition it also showed excellent cycling stability of 74.8 percent after 1000 cycles. The supercapacitor investigated retained the initial energy density after charge-discharge, at 0.5 A/g for 1000 cycles. The graphene nanosheets increased the specific surface area and interfacial electron transfer of the composite material. It enhances the specific capacitance and cyclic stability of the supercapacitor device.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to prepare a new modified activated carbon fibers (ACFs) of high specific capacitance used for electrode material of supercapacitor. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the specific capacitance of ACF was significantly increased by using the phenolic resin microspheres and melamine as modifiers to prepare modified PAN-based activated carbon fibers (MACFs) via electrospinning, pre-oxidation and carbonization. The symmetrical supercapacitor (using MACF as electrode) and hybrid supercapacitor (using MACF and activated carbon as electrodes) were tested in term of electrochemical properties by cyclic voltammetry, AC impedance and cycle stability test. Findings It was found that the specific capacitance value of the modified fibers were increased to 167 Fg-1 by adding modifiers (i.e. 20 wt.% microspheres and 15 wt.% melamine) compared to that of unmodified fibers (86.17 Fg-1). Specific capacitance of modified electrode material had little degradation over 10,000 cycles. This result can be attributed to that the modifiers embedded into the fibers changed the original morphology and enhanced the specific surface area of the fibers. Originality/value The modified ACFs in our study had high specific surface area and significantly high specific capacitance, which can be applied as efficient and environmental absorbent, and advanced electrode material of supercapacitor.

Titania powders were prepared under hydrothermal conditions by employing organic molecule β-cyclodextrin(CD) as template, and characterized by means of TGA、XRD、BET . The effects of the pH on the specific surface area and photocatalytic performance of titania were discussed. The results showed that titania powders were anatase structure;the titania powders with specific surface area up to 216.2 m2g-1 were prepared while the system pH was about 1 , and the powders had the best photocatalytic activity.

Several ZSM-23 zeolites with different acid distributions are synthesized by two-stage temperature-varied crystallization and changing the species of aluminum source via conventional hydrothermal synthesis. The crystallinity, micropores, external specific surface area and the Si/Al ratios are measured by XRD, BET, ICP and XPS, indicating that both the body phase and the surface of the zeolite synthesized by two-stage temperature-varied crystallization have higher Si/Al ratio, and the zeolite synthesized with aluminum nitrate as the aluminum source exhibit the largest specific surface area. The properties of acidity and Pt obtained by NH3-TPD, TEM, Py-IR and H2-TPR show that the suitable B-acid distribution leads to high Pt dispersion over the zeolite. Applying these catalysts to the isomerization of n-dodecane, the zeolite synthesized with aluminum sulfate as aluminum source by two-step temperature-varied crystallization shows the best isomerization performance, that the selectivity of i-dodecane reaches 81.2% at 90.7% conversion. Therefore, the matching of acidity, external specific surface area and Pt dispersion of the zeolites is the key to improve the isomerization performance of long-chain alkanes.

Pelagic clay is an emerging marine resource with strong hydrophilicity, fine particles and a large specific surface area. In this work, a 1T-MoS2/pelagic clay composite was fabricated by hydrothermal synthesis. In the composite, 1T-MoS2 nanosheets are evenly dispersed on the surface of the clay minerals, significantly reducing the agglomeration of MoS2. Compared with pure 1T-MoS2, the 1T-MoS2 nanosheets generated on the surface of pelagic clay have significantly smaller lateral dimensions and thicknesses. Moreover, the specific surface area is much larger than that of the pure 1T-MoS2 nanosheets fabricated by the same method, indicating that the active sites of the MoS2 sheets are fully exposed. In addition, the composite exhibited excellent hydrophilicity, leading to a high dispersibility in aqueous solutions. In this work, the composite was used as a catalyst in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), and the conversion of 4-NP reached up to 96.7%. This result shows that the 1T-MoS2/pelagic clay composite is a promising catalyst in a variety of reactions.
