Book Metal Oxides Chalcogenides and Composites

Download or read book Metal Oxides Chalcogenides and Composites written by Aneeya Kumar Samantara and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the recent development of metal oxides, hydroxides and their carbon composites for electrochemical oxidation of water in the production of hydrogen and oxygen as fuels. It includes a detailed discussion on synthesis methodologies for the metal oxides/hydroxides, structural/morphological characterizations, and the key parameters (Tafel plot, Turnover frequency, Faradic efficiency, overpotential, long cycle life etc.) needed to evaluate the electrocatalytic activity of the materials. Additionally, the mechanism behind the electro oxidation process is presented. Readers will find a comprehensive source on the close correlation between metal oxides, hydroxides, composites, and their properties and importance in the generation of hydrogen and oxygen from water. The depletion of fossil fuels from the earth’s crust, and related environmental issues such as climate change, demand that we search for alternative energy resources to achieve some form of sustainable future. In this regard, much scientific research has been devoted to technologies such as solar cells, wind turbines, fuel cells etc. Among them fuel cells attract much attention because of their versatility and efficiency. In fuel cells, different fuels such as hydrogen, CO2, alcohols, acids, methane, oxygen/air, etc. are used as the fuel, and catalysts are employed to produce a chemical reaction for generating electricity. Hence, it is very important to produce these fuels in an efficient, eco-friendly, and cost effective manner. The electrochemical splitting of water is an environmentally friendly process to produce hydrogen (the greener fuel used in fuel cells), but the efficiencies of these hydrogen evolution reactions (cathodic half reaction) are strongly dependent on the anodic half reaction (oxygen evolution reaction), i.e., the better the anodic half, the better will be the cathodic reaction. Further, this oxygen evolution reaction depends on the types of active electrocatalysts used. Though many more synthetic approaches have been explored and different electrocatalysts developed, oxide and hydroxide-based nanomaterials and composites (with graphene, carbon nanotubes etc.) show better performance. This may be due to the availability of more catalytic surface area and electro active centers to carry out the catalysis process.

Book Theoretical Aspects of Transition Metal Catalysis

Download or read book Theoretical Aspects of Transition Metal Catalysis written by Gernot Frenking and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-06-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition metal catalysis belongs to the most important chemical research areas because a ubiquitous number of chemical reactions are catalyzed by transition metal compounds. Many efforts are being made by industry and academia to find new and more efficient catalysts for chemical processes. Transition metals play a prominent role in catalytic research because they have been proven to show an enormous diversity in lowering the activation barrier for chemical reactions. For many years, the search for new catalysts was carried out by trial and error, which was costly and time consuming. The understanding of the mechanism of the catalytic process is often not very advanced because it is difficult to study the elementary steps of the catalysis with experimental techniques. The development of modern quantum chemical methods for calculating possible intermediates and transition states was a breakthrough in gaining an understanding of the reaction pathways of transition metal catalyzed reactions. This volume, organized into eight chapters written by leading scientists in the field, illustrates the progress made during the last decade. The reader will obtain a deep insight into the present state of quantum chemical research in transition metal catalysis.

Book Application of Transition Metal Coordination for Energy Efficient Processes

Download or read book Application of Transition Metal Coordination for Energy Efficient Processes written by Sweta Shrestha and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this dissertation is to explore the application of transition metals in two energy-intensive processes, photochemical water oxidation and olefin/paraffin separation. Photochemical water splitting is widely studied and involves the exploitation of renewable resources solar energy and water to produce clean hydrogen along with oxygen. Water oxidation process to make oxygen is not thermodynamically and kinetically feasible, thus catalysts which can promote this reaction are needed. With efficient water oxidizing catalysts, the entire water splitting process is promoted. We are focusing on birnessite as catalysts for photochemical water oxidation. Birnessite are layered manganese oxides with intercalated cations and water molecules in the interlayer space. They are known as moderate water oxidizing catalysts. We have developed two strategies to enhance water oxidizing catalytic activity of birnessite. Our first strategy was the deposition of birnessite on zeolite surfaces. The synthesis method involves ion-exchanging Mn2+ cations along with alkaline earth metal co-cations (M2+: Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+) into zeolite followed by the precipitation of manganese oxides on zeolite surfaces. M2+ cations control the loading of Mn2+ cations into zeolite, such that the larger cationic size of M2+, the lower the loading of Mn. These samples are amorphous manganese oxides and referred to as M2+MnOx-Y. After treating with high concentration of K+ cations, there was improvement in crystallinity in manganese oxides forming birnessite, and we refer to them as KMnOx-Y(M2+).
