Zeolitic-Imidazolate Framework Derived Intermetallic Nickel Zinc Carbide Material as a Selective Catalyst for CO 2 to CO Reduction at High Pressure

The conversion of CO 2 into CO is an important step in CO 2 utilization to achieve clean fuels and value-added chemicals. Herein, we explored the pyrolysis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) loaded with different amounts of Ni 2+ to obtain Ni-Zn carbide (Ni 3 ZnC) embedded in N-doped carbon. Ni is present in the intermetallic compound, while Zn excess remains on the N-doped carbon. The Ni 3 ZnC phase catalyzes the selective hydrogenation of CO 2 into CO via the reverse water gas shift reaction, reaching 100 % CO selectivity at ~30 % CO 2 conversion at 450 °C and atmosphere pressure (CO 2 :H 2 =1:4, GHSV=30000 mL g cat -1 h -1 ). The methanation reaction of CO 2 /CO, which is usually favored over Ni catalysts, is suppressed. The selectivity to CO at the expense of CH 4 is related to the stability of chemisorbed CO in the Ni 3 ZnC surface, which is lower compared to Ni surfaces. The Ni 3 ZnC@NC catalyst is selective towards CO over a wide range of conditions, including high pressure, that is usually required for the conversion of CO to hydrocarbons and alcohols via the Fisher-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) process. Contrarily, a classical Ni/SiO 2 catalyst prepared by impregnation produces CH 4 under high pressure.

Zinc dendrite removal in a nickel-zinc battery with flow-through electrodes

The development and deployment of inexpensive energy storage technologies is critical to realizing a clean energy grid. Batteries are being used in this role, but there remains a need for research on systems that are designed specifically for stationary energy storage, with a focus on lowering the overall cost rather than prioritizing the system energy density, specific energy, and power output. Here, we report the development of ultra-thick (1 cm thick) electrodes with engineered flow channels and explore the variables determining how thick these electrodes can feasibly be. Our proof of concept cell, utilizing the alkaline Ni-Zn chemistry, shows stable cycling over the initial 60 cycles but still suffers from the common Zn dendrite growth at the anode. To extend the life of these systems we report our novel methodology to completely remove Zn dendrites by exploiting the flow-through nature of our electrode architecture.

Broadband and Tunable Microwave Absorption Properties from Large Magnetic Loss in Ni–Zn Ferrite

Highly effective electromagnetic (EM) wave absorber materials with strong reflection loss (RL) and a wide absorption bandwidth (EBW) in gigahertz (GHz) frequencies are crucial for advanced wireless applications and portable electronics. Traditional microwave absorbers lack magnetic loss and struggle with impedance matching, while ferrites are stable, exhibit excellent magnetic and dielectric losses, and offer better impedance matching. However, achieving the desired EBW in ferrites remains a challenge, necessitating further composition design. In this study, impedance matching is successfully enhanced and EBW in Ni–Zn ferrite is broadened by successive doping with Mn and Co , without incorporation of any polymer filler. It is found that Ni 0.4 Co 0.1 Zn 0.5 Fe 1.9 Mn 0.1 O 4 material exhibits exceptional EM wave absorption, with a maximum RL of −48.7 dB. It also featured a significant EBW of 10.8 GHz, maintaining a 90% absorption rate (RL < −10 dB) for a thickness of 4.5 mm. These outstanding properties result from substantial magnetic losses and favorable impedance matching. These findings represent a significant step forward in the development of microwave absorber materials, addressing EM wave pollution concerns within GHz frequencies, including the frequency band used in popular 5G technology.
