Enhanced oxygen reduction reaction performance of Co@N-C derived from metal-organic frameworks ZIF-67 via a continuous microchannel reactor

Chenxu Wang et al.

Summary: Traditional methods for preparing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have limitations in terms of dispersion, efficiency, and continuity. In this study, a microchannel reactor was used to synthesize MOFs-derived zeolite-imidazole material using flash nanoprecipitation, resulting in highly dispersed ZIF-67 + PEI(FNP) with a significantly reduced synthesis time. The Co@N-C(FNP) catalyst obtained through flash nanoprecipitation and carbonization exhibited higher Co content and more active sites for oxygen reduction reaction compared to the Co@N-C(DM) catalyst prepared using a direct mixing method. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that the Co@N-C(FNP) catalyst showed excellent oxygen reduction performance, methanol resistance, and high stability. The Zn-air battery assembled with Co@N-C(FNP) as the cathode catalyst exhibited high open circuit voltage, high power density, and large specific capacity, comparable to Pt/C assembled batteries. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that the Co(220) crystal plane in Co@N-C(FNP) had stronger adsorption energy, leading to better electrocatalytic performance compared to the Co(111) crystal plane in Co@N-C(DM).

Influence of mineralogy and surfactant concentration on zeta potential in intact sandstone at high pressure

Faisal Ur Rahman Awan et al.

Summary: The study explored the zeta-potential of sandstones with different clay contents in the presence of brine, showing that clay-rich sandstone had lower zeta potentials than clay-poor sandstone at tested salinities. Surfactant SDBS was found to reduce zeta potential and increase repulsive forces, making the rock more hydrophilic. Additionally, electrophoretic zeta potentials were higher than streaming zeta potentials in the experiments.

Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets Improve the Adhesion of Fungicides to Leaves and the Antifungal Performance

Heng Zhi et al.

Summary: Pesticides play a crucial role in plant protection and food security, but their excessive use can lead to pollution and harm human health. To address this issue, researchers introduced self-assembled layered double hydroxides (LDHs) in a formulation with the antifungal agent azoxystrobin, which improves pesticide efficacy through slow release and good adhesion. The study also investigates the charge distribution in LDHs and the interactions between azoxystrobin and leaf surfaces mediated by hydroxyl groups on LDHs.
