Download or read book Fabrication of Carbon based Nanocomposite Materials for Energy Storage Processes written by Arturo Reza Ugalde and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our society's development depends on the way we use, store, and transform the energy. Currently, we have multiple sources of clean energy to cover the demand of a growing population. However, a big gap remains in the technology to efficiently store the energy that is not being consumed. The purpose of this thesis is to explore carbon-based composite materials to promote the development of new systems for the efficient conversion, use, and storage of energy: first, at small-scale storage (batteries) and second, at large-scale storage (power to gas). In both cases, different carbon allotropes and functionalization methods were considered. The first half of the thesis describes materials and methods to improve the air cathode in Zn-air batteries. These batteries are considered promising energy storage devices because of the numerous advantages such as high energy density, low-cost and abundance of Zn, environmental friendliness, and safety. The first study is focused on developing a double layer membrane fabricated with thermoplastic polyurethane, carbon nanotubes, and activated carbon membrane to improve the oxygen diffusivity and to prevent electrolyte leakage. For the second study, we developed a bifunctional electrocatalyst to promote the oxygen reactions in Zn-air batteries and achieve an electrically rechargeable configuration. The electrocatalyst was fabricated with Co3O4 particles attached to a functionalized carbon support. The second half of the thesis is focused on the catalytic methanation of CO. This process allows the reduction of the main greenhouse gas, through the power-to-gas technology. Renewable energy can be used to power a reactor where the CO/CO2 is reduced to methane, which can be transported and stored in current systems. We considered Ni-based catalysts and carbon-based supports with the purpose of improving the CO conversion, the selectivity to CH4, and the catalyst stability. This study first compares Ni supported on AC and Ni3Sn supported on AC to determine the effectiveness of Sn as a carbon fiber suppressor. In a second step, the study describes the fabrication method and catalyst performance of a core-shell structure using silica spheres grown on SWCNTs coated with the catalysts Ni3Sn and FeNi3 to improve the thermal stability and catalyst activity.

Download or read book Lignin Based Carbon NanomaterialsThe Future Scope written by Uma Addepally and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon, a versatile material available in nature, can assume various allotropic forms, which improves its chances of useful exploitation in various applications. The application scope increases for carbon when it is brought to nanosize structures, like fullerenes and related materials, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, graphene, and carbon nanocomposites with better mechanical, thermal, electronic, and electrical properties, coupled with chemical robustness. Various precursor materials used for carbon nanostructures include hydrocarbons, carbonaceous industrial wastes, carbon blacks, carbon nano-onions etc. The high cost of precursors in particular is caused by petro-based sources, and manufacturing costs are narrowing the applications of carbon materials in high-performance structural materials. One alternative is biobased precursor materials like lignin, a polymeric aromatic compound with various side chain substituents found in plant cell walls. Lignin consists of more than 60 % carbon on a theoretical basis and can be a green carbon source for the production of carbon-based nanomaterials. Worldwide data show that the paper and pulp industry alone produces ~5010 9 kg of lignin per annum. The E20 or E30 norms of biofuel blending shows that each ton of biomass produces ~1525 % (w/w) of lignin as a by-product. Therefore, precursor material limitation can be avoided if lignin-based sources are used for nanomaterial production. In addition to these, animal manure from herbivores can also be considered for the same beause the manure contains significant amounts of microbial, processed lignin in the rumen with decreased degree of polymerization, making it suitable to play with the structure for various applications, particularly with nanocomposites. Some of the applications based on lignin might require preliminary functionalizations to the source material. Lignin-based nanomaterials have various applications in many biocompatible-based applications, such as for cancer diagnosis, drug delivery, optical sensors, tissue engineering, energy storage devices, air filtration, oil-water separation, electronics, and catalysis, etc.
