PHC4 exhibits a high CO₂ adsorption capacity at 0 °C/1 bar (3.5 mmol g−1) and 0 °C/30 bar (15.8 mmol  g−1). Additionally, the presence of heteroatoms on the surface results in enhancement of interactions between CO₂ and the adsorbents which are evident from a high value of isosteric heat of adsorption (∼35 kJ mol−1) calculated using Clausius Clapeyron's equation. The reported activation synthesis strategy could be explored further to devise advanced functional nanomaterials for specific adsorption applications.]]> Thu 22 Jun 2023 10:25:37 AEST ]]> Milk derived highly ordered mesoporous carbon with CaF2 nanoclusters as an efficient electrode for supercapacitors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46376 2 nanoclusters along the pore wall structure using dairy milk as a carbon and calcium source through nano-hard templating approach wherein mesoporous silica SBA-15 with different pore diameters are used as template. CaF2 is introduced during the removal process of silica template and can help to enhance the charge transfer. Nitrogen adsorption results reveal that the prepared materials exhibit high specific surface area with bimodal porous structures which act as a media for the rapid ion transports through the regular and interconnected micro- and mesoporous structure. The mesoporous carbon samples also exhibit hexagonally ordered pores with rod shaped morphology, which is similar to that of the template, confirming that the templating process is successful. Finally, the optimised electrode is highly stable and offers the capacitance of 182 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 with almost 100% retention rate even after 5000 cycles due to a strong intimate coupling generated by the CaF2 nanoclusters within the wall structure. The electrode performance of milk derived carbon samples is much better than that of activated carbon, multiwalled carbon nanotubes and the mesoporous carbons without CaF2.]]> Thu 17 Nov 2022 09:55:45 AEDT ]]> Nanoporous carbon oxynitride and its enhanced lithium-ion storage performance https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44363 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:53:13 AEDT ]]> Recent advances of layered-transition metal oxides for energy-related applications https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44408 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:52:29 AEDT ]]> Intimately-coordinated carbon nitride-metal sulfide with high p-d conjugation for efficient battery performance https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48452 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:51:18 AEDT ]]> Hierarchical carbon structures from soft drink for multi-functional energy applications of Li-ion battery, Na-ion battery and CO<inf>2</inf> capture https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50887 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:27:36 AEDT ]]> Low-temperature catalytic hydrogen combustion over Pd-Cu / Al₂O₃ : Catalyst optimization and rate law determination https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50951 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:24:44 AEDT ]]> Recent Advances in Carbon-Based Electrodes for Energy Storage and Conversion https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50891 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:22:27 AEDT ]]> Highly enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of graphitic carbon nitride with 3D connected mesoporous structure https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39863 2/g). UV–Vis and PL spectra show that the absorption edges of mesoporous gCNs are slightly blue-shifted and the PL intensity is remarkably suppressed. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of gCN-KIT-6 under solar simulated irradiation is 1.92 mmol·g−1 h−1 which is much higher than that of gCN with 2D mesoporous structure, gCN from silica nanoparticle and bulk nonporous gCN. This high photocatalytic activity of gCN-KIT-6 can be attributed to 3D structure and the retarded electron-hole recombination.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:49:59 AEDT ]]> Recent Advances in Developing Hybrid Materials for Sodium-Ion Battery Anodes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46564 Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:44:08 AEDT ]]> Theoretical and experimental investigations of mesoporous C3N5/MoS2 hybrid for lithium and sodium ion batteries https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44155 C3N5 > g-C3N4. Bader charge analysis shows that the charge transferred from lithium and sodium ions is more distributed across the hybrid material as compared to the pure C3N5. It is experimentally found that the optimized mesoporous C3N5/MoS2 hybrid shows a 3.86 and 10.80 times increase in reversible capacities as compared to mesoporous g-C3N4 for lithium and sodium ion batteries, respectively. Based on the comparative mechanism studies, the limited intercalation kinetics and surface-derived ion storage hinder the application of the mesoporous g-C3N4 in lithium and sodium ion batteries, respectively.
