Wormhole-like mesoporous carbon from gelatine (WMCG) with two different pore diameters have been synthesized by adopting a modified infiltration treatment. The infiltration effect on the morphology was investigated. The results show that the WMCG sample was obtained after dehydration, pyrolysis and silica removal process. The pore diameters WMCG are 15.2 and 4.8 nm with specific surface areas of 280 m2/g, total pore volumes of 0.5 cm3/g and the thermal stability up to 1400 °C. The bimodal pore of WMCG obtained as the high step of infiltration level effect.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, the degradation processes of commercial supercapacitors aged at 2.7 V and 65 °C for 2000 h were studied. The crystallinity, thermal stability, and specific surface areas of the carbon electrodes of the supercapacitors were measured. Significant changes and degradations in the carbon electrodes were observed for the aged supercapacitors. New functional groups were also found on the surface of the electrodes. The degradation of the lattice structures and the reduction in the specific surface area were as well observed for the aged supercapacitors. It was suggested that the aging of supercapacitors significantly changed the electrode surface which affects considerably electrical properties and functionality of supercapacitors. We have also performed experiments which suggest that the aging effect on the electrode is not uniformly distributed through its length.

Wettability is one of the key chemical properties of coal dust, which is very important to dedusting. In this paper, the theory of liquid wetting solid was presented firstly; then, taking the gas coal of Xinglongzhuang coal mine in China as an example, by determination of critical surface tension of coal piece, it can be concluded that only when the surface tension of surfactant solution is less than 45 mN/m can the coal sample be fully wetted. Due to the effect of particle dispersity, compared with the contact angle of milled coal particle, not all the contact angles of screened coal powder with different sizes have a tendency to increase. Furthermore, by the experiments of coal samples’ specific surface areas and porosities, it can be achieved that the volume of single-point total pore decreases with the gradual decreasing of coal’s porosity, while the ultramicropores’ dispersities and multipoint BET specific surface areas increase. Besides, by a series of contact angle experiments with different surfactants, it can be found that with the increasing of porosity and the decreasing of volume percentage of ultramicropore, the contact angle tends to reduce gradually and the coal dust is much easier to get wetted.

In this work, five nanocrystalline first transition-metal (Ti, Mn, Co, Ni and Zn) oxide nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning and controlled calcination. The morphology, crystal structure, pore size distribution and specific surface area were systematically studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), surface and pore analysis, and thermo gravimetric analyzer (TGA). The results reveal that the obtained nanofibers have a continuously twisted three-dimensional scaffold structure and are composed of neat nanocrystals with a necklace-like arrangement. All the samples possess high specific surface areas, which follow the order of NiO nanofiber (393.645 m2/g) > TiO2 nanofiber (121.445 m2/g) > ZnO nanofiber (57.219 m2/g) > Co3O4 nanofiber (52.717 m2/g) > Mn2O3 nanofiber (18.600 m2/g). Moreover, the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution was investigated in detail by employing the five kinds of metal oxide nanofibers as photocatalysts under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation separately. The results show that ZnO, TiO2 and NiO nanofibers exhibit excellent photocatalytic efficiency and high cycling ability to MB, which may be ascribed to unique porous structures and the highly efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. In brief, this paper aims to provide a feasible approach to achieve five first transition-metal oxide nanofibers with excellent performance, which is important for practical applications.

In this paper, we present a novel approach for the synthesis of carbon microspheres via the polymerization of a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE). By using Span 80 and Tween 80 as emulsifiers, 1iquid paraffin as oil phase, and the mixture of resorcinol/formaldehyde (R/F) solution as aqueous phase, an O/W emulsion was obtained. This emulsion phase inverted to a W/O HIPE induced by ammonia which served as the polymerization catalyst. Carbon microspheres (CMs) were prepared by polymerization of the HIPE, followed by drying and carbonization. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyzer were used to characterize as-prepared CMs. The results indicate that, in case of 0.25 wt% ammonia of the HIPE, the diameters of CMs decreased from about 2 to 1 μm when the mass fraction of aqueous R/F decreased from 0.714 to 0.357; the apparent density and the specific surface areas of the CMs, however, did not change obviously, which are about 0.6 g/cm3and 200 m2/g, respectively. The dosage of ammonia has a significant influence on the morphology and properties of CMs. With increasing of the ammonia mass to 1 wt% of the HIPE, the resultant carbon materials comprise not only CMs, but also some carbon sheets; the apparent density of which increased to 0.9 g/cm3and the specific surface areas of which decreased to below 100 m2/g. In addition, the other parameters for CMs preparation were also investigated. It was found that the proper conditions were controlling the temperature of 303-333 K and the oil/aqueous phase mass ratio of 2.5:7.

A gas quenching process to deal with steel slag and its characteristics of the new technology was briefly introduced. The grinding characteristics, mineral phases of gas quenching steel slag and the potential economic benefits of using it as cement mixing material was studied by compared to heat-stew steel slag. The results indicated that the specific surface areas (S) and grinding times (t) of the gas quenching steel slag showed a first order exponential decay relationship. With the extension of time, the specific surface areas of heat-stew steel slag was tending to balance earlier than that of gas quenching steel slag; The energy consumption of gas quenching steel slag was much lower than that of heat-stew steel slag. Gas quenching steel slag was comprised of C2S, C3S, a certain amount of (Ca2(Al, Fe)2O5)and RO phase, but the content of RO phase was relatively low, which increased the grindability of the quenching steel slag, so that the grindability of gas quenching steel slag was much better than that of heat-stew steel slag. Gas quenching steel slag prepared for cement addictives would bring great economic benefits.
