  • Publication number: 20250092546
    Abstract: A preparation method for a one-dimensional Ni12P5/Ni2P polycrystalline heterostructure catalyst used for high-efficiency water oxidation is provided. In particular, nickel foam is used as a conductive carrier and a nickel source, sodium phosphite is used as a phosphorus source, and the one-dimensional polycrystalline heterostructure catalyst is synthesized therefrom by means of a two-step hydrothermal-phosphorization method. The combination of the one-dimensional heterostructure and the nickel foam conductive carrier is beneficial for charge transfer and the release of bubbles on the surface of an electrode/electrolyte. The prepared Ni12P5/Ni2P/NF catalyst has a relatively low electrocatalytic water oxidation overpotential and long-term stability in an alkaline solution. After the Ni12P5/Ni2P/NF is loaded with monatomic Ir, the water oxidation overpotential can be further reduced.

  • Publication number: 20250092539
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical fields of electrocatalysis and chemical industry, and specifically relates to an electrocatalytic water oxidation homogeneous diatomic catalyst, and a preparation method therefor and a use thereof. The catalyst comprises a carrier and a homogeneous diatomic active site having an adjacency structure, and the active site is anchored in the carrier; the carrier is at least one of an oxide, a hydroxide and an oxyhydroxide of a 3d transition-metal; a coordination structure is formed between the double atoms and the carrier. The intrinsic activity of a diatomic dispersed catalytic material prepared by the method in an electrocatalytic water oxidation reaction is equivalent to that of the existing natural photosynthetic system II having the highest efficiency, at the same time, the water oxidation initial potential is merely 170 mV, and the stability is kept for 650 h under a current density of 20 A cm?2; and the preparation method is simple and has low cost.

  • Publication number: 20250051941
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a bismuth-copper single-atom alloy catalyst, a preparation method and an application thereof. The catalyst includes copper nanoparticles and bismuth atoms. The copper nanoparticles are of a polycrystalline structure, and the bismuth atoms are dispersed in the copper nanoparticles in a single-atom form. The catalyst is prepared by means of thermal decomposing the metal complex and the followed in-situ electroreduction. The preparation method of the bismuth-copper single-atom alloy catalyst of the present invention is simple to operate, and the single-atom bismuth content is adjustable. The single-atom bismuth content can be adjusted by changing reaction conditions.

  • Publication number: 20180171749
    Abstract: A millable bridge plug system includes a mandrel, an upper cap end, a sealing member, ring members, cone assemblies, slip devices and a lower cap end. The sealing member, ring members, cone assemblies and slip devices are positioned on and around the mandrel. Ring members abut against an upper end and a lower end of the sealing member. The other sides of the ring members abut against the cone assemblies, and the cone assemblies engage respective slip devices. The upper cap end attaches to the first slip device, and the lower cap end attaches to the second slip device. The lower cap end holds the mandrel and second slip device together to resist rotation during milling.
