The title of the article was 《Less-Energy Consumed Hydrogen Evolution Coupled with Electrocatalytic Removal of Ethanolamine Pollutant in Saline Water over Ni@Ni3S2/CNT Nano-Heterostructured Electrocatalysts》.Category: ethers-buliding-blocks The author mentioned the following in the article:
Energy crises, environmental pollution, and freshwater deficiency are critical issues on the planet. Electrolytic hydrogen generation from saline water, particularly from salt-contained hazardous wastewater, is significant to both environment and energy concerns but still challenging due to the high energy cost, severe corrosion, and the absence of competent electrocatalysts. Herein, a novel strategy is proposed for energy-efficient hydrogen production coupled with electro-oxidation removal of ethanolamine pollutant in saline water. To achieve this, an active and durable heterostructured electrocatalyst is developed by in situ growing Ni@Ni3S2 core@shell nanoparticles in cross-linked 3D carbon nanotubes’ (CNTs) network, achieving high dispersibility and metallic property, low packing d., and enriched exposed active sites to facilitate fast electron/mass diffusion. The unique Ni@Ni3S2/CNTs nano-heterostructures are competent for long-term stably electro-oxidizing environmental-unfriendly ethanolamine at a high c.d. of 100 mA cm-2 in saline water, which not only suppresses oxygen and chloride evolution reactions but also decreases the energy consumption to boost hydrogen production Associated with exptl. results, d. functional theory studies indicate that the collaborative adsorption of electrolyte ions and ethanolamine mols. can synergistically modulate the adsorption/desorption properties of catalytic active centers on Ni@Ni3S2/CNTs surface, leading to long-term stabilized electrocatalysis for efficient ethanolamine oxidation removal and less-energy hydrogen simultaneous production in saline water. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of 1,2-Diphenyldisulfane(cas: 882-33-7Category: ethers-buliding-blocks)
1,2-Diphenyldisulfane(cas: 882-33-7) belongs to ethers.Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, thus the alpha hydrogens of ethers are more acidic than those of simple hydrocarbons. They are far less acidic than alpha hydrogens of carbonyl groups (such as in ketones or aldehydes), however. Category: ethers-buliding-blocks
