In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used as cathodes for lithium–oxygen (Li–O2) batteries to confirm the effect of oxygen functional groups present on the CNT surface on Li–O2 battery performance. A coating technology using atomic layer deposition was introduced to remove the oxygen functional groups present on the CNT surface, and ZnO without catalytic properties was adopted as a coating material to exclude the effect of catalytic reaction. An acid treatment process (H2SO4:HNO3 = 3:1) was conducted to increase the oxygen functional groups of the existing CNTs. Therefore, it was confirmed that ZnO@CNT with reduced oxygen functional groups lowered the charging overpotential by approximately 230 mV and increased the yield of Li2O2, a discharge product, by approximately 13%. Hence, we can conclude that the ZnO@CNT is suitable as a cathode material for Li–O2 batteries.

Because of the increased demand for coal resources, the use of low-quality lignite increased. Heating-Pressing Utilizing is a better method to process fine lignite particles. The water resistance of lignite briquettes is important. In this study, the Baorixile lignite was dried in a lab-scale tube reactor and on pilot line. The oxygenic functional groups of lignite were analyzed at different temperature. The result indicated that carboxyl groups and phenols decreased as the temperature increasing, and phenols plays a more important role on the waterproof of lignite briquettes, especially at high temperature.

AbstractCarbon xerogels (CXs) synthesized from resorcinol and formaldehyde under different pH conditions were investigated. Both the textural and surface properties of the CXs depend closely on the pH used in the synthesis procedure. Concerning the texture, the mesoporous surface area (Smeso) increases and the micropore volume (Vmicro) decreases as the pH increases; concerning the surface chemistry, surface oxygen functional groups were easier to be created (by O2) on CX synthesized at lower pH. Application of these CXs as support of gold catalysts was also studied. Results showed that the oxygen activated CX that was synthesized at moderate pH (i.e., pH 6.0) was the most favorable support for gold catalysts used in selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol by molecular oxygen in liquid phase, due to the adequate amounts of surface oxygen functional groups created on the surface.
