Composite electrodes with different graphene (GN)/TiO2 ratios and nano-activated carbon electrodes were prepared for electrocatalytic performance comparison. The electrodes were loaded with platinum (Pt) by use of chloroplatinic acid to promote their performance. Reactive Black 5 (RBk5) dye wastewater was treated as a challenging pollutant by use of advanced electrochemical oxidation technology. The composite materials were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), and Energy Disperse Spectroscopy (EDS). Results showed that the graphene electrode was prepared successfully and verified because all elements were uniformly loaded on the conductive carbon cloth. The effects of several operating parameters including material types, pH, initial concentration of RBk5, and current density on the removal performance of RBk5 were also assessed. The supporting electrolyte was NaCl solution of 1 g L−1. The concentration of RBk5 was detected using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer with a detection wavelength of 600 nm. The optimum parameters of the experiment were GN/TiO2 ratio of 1:4 and pH of 6.6. The removal efficiency of RBk5 could be higher than 95% under an initial concentration of RBk5 of 5 ppm and a current density of 2.5 mA·cm-2 when reaction time was 30 min.

The composite electrodes of cobalt oxide and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are prepared by a simple low-temperature solid-phase synthesis method with the assistance of polyethylene glycol and their pseudocapacitive performances are investigated in alkaline solution by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge tests, respectively. Transmission electron microscope images show that cobalt oxide is uniformly coated on multi-wall carbon nanotubes and the homogeneous hybrid nanostructure are considered to be responsible for their preferable electrochemical performances. The electrochemical tests further reveal that the composite can deliver a maximum specific capacitance of 217 F/g with a biggest utilization of Co element when the content of MWCNTs increases to 50 wt.%.

A potent cathode catalyst of octahedral cobalt oxide (Co3O4) was synthesized onto graphene (GR) nanosheets via a two-step preparation method. The precursor cobalt solution reacted with GR during the initial hydrolysis step to form intermediates. A subsequent hydrothermal reaction promoted Co3O4 crystallinity with a crystalline size of 73 nm, resulting in octahedral particles of 100–300 nm in size. Scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the successful formation of the Co3O4/GR composite. This catalyst composite was sprayed onto a carbon cloth to form a cathode for the hybrid electrolyte lithium-air battery (HELAB). This catalyst demonstrated improved oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution capabilities. The HELAB containing this catalyst showed a higher discharge voltage and stable charge voltage, resulting in a 34% reduction in overall over-potential compared to that without the Co3O4/GR composite. The use of saturated LiOH in 11.6 M LiCl aqueous electrolyte at the cathode further reduced the over-potential by 0.5 V. It is proposed that the suppressed dissociation of LiOH expedites the charging reaction from un-dissociated LiOH. This Co3O4/GR composite is a promising bi-functional catalyst, suitable as a cathode material for a HELAB operating in high relative humidity and highly alkaline environment.

In this study, for the first time nanostructured TiO2 and Fe2O3 was loaded on active carbon cloth (ACC) as electrodes to be used in an electrochemical oxidation system. This novel TiO2-ACC and Fe2O3 / TiO2-ACC composite electrodes(or modified electrodes) were characterized by scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM)and cyclic voltammetry(CV).During the degradation of dye wastewater, electrochemical oxidation system with TiO2-ACC and Fe2O3 / TiO2-ACC electrodes showed much higher activity than with ACC electrodes. The system with Fe2O3 / TiO2-ACC electrodes acquired the best COD removal: the COD of wastewater decreased from 33000 mg/L to 8700mg/L. The removal rate of COD reached 74%, which was 19% higher than ACC system.
