The level of functionalization decreases in carbons with reduced amorphous and increased graphitic character. Thermal decomposition of electrodepositied carbons has been investigated and zero order kinetics have been identified. A relationship has been identified between elevated oxygen functionalization and increased pseudo-capacitance, with carbons deposited at 0.15 A cm−2 showing capacitances of 400 F g−1 in 0.5 M H2SO4 at sweep rates of 10 mV s−1.]]> Wed 18 Mar 2020 12:27:30 AEDT ]]> Kinetic analysis of the anodic carbon oxidation mechanism in a molten carbonate medium https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20671 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:11:32 AEST ]]> Characterization of carbonate derived carbons through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36716 2SO4 and the synthesized carbons has been investigated in a manner which may be generalised to analyse other supercapacitive systems, and the electrolyte coverage, porosity, and Mott-Schottky behaviour of the materials have been quantified. High, frequency-dependent, capacitances of up to 160 F g−1 have been obtained for carbons deposited at either low temperature or low current density, and for carbons deposited in binary Li2CO3–K2CO3 eutectics.]]> Tue 27 Feb 2024 14:03:13 AEDT ]]> Thermal and electrochemical impact of kaolin on a direct carbon fuel cell https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46305 Tue 15 Nov 2022 10:07:55 AEDT ]]> Carbon electro-catalysis in the direct carbon fuel cell utilising alkali metal molten carbonates: a mechanistic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38192 Tue 10 Aug 2021 16:28:51 AEST ]]> Thermal investigation of a doped alkali-metal carbonate ternary eutectic for direct carbon fuel cell applications https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26869 Thu 16 Mar 2017 14:30:42 AEDT ]]> Influence of counter ions of ammonium for nitrogen doping and carbon properties in hydrothermal carbonization: characterization and supercapacitor performance https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43377 Thu 15 Sep 2022 16:14:33 AEST ]]> An investigation of mineral distribution in coking and thermal coal chars as fuels for the direct carbon fuel cell https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33540 Thu 15 Nov 2018 15:26:24 AEDT ]]> Nitrogen doped heat treated and activated hydrothermal carbon: NEXAFS examination of the carbon surface at different temperatures https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33541 Thu 15 Nov 2018 15:26:23 AEDT ]]> Synchrotron based NEXAFS study on nitrogen doped hydrothermalcarbon: insights into surface functionalities and formation mechanisms https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33542 Thu 15 Nov 2018 15:26:23 AEDT ]]> Silicate formation in a ternary alkali metal carbonate melt https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46656 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:02:50 AEDT ]]> Gas atmosphere effects over the anode compartment of a tubular direct carbon fuel cell module https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46626 2 atmosphere when compared with a N2 atmosphere, where mass transport limitations in the anode compartment and the additional two-electron oxidation pathway from CO contribute. This hypothesis is verified by comparing the slurry arrangement to a solid working anode where mass transport is not required. In order to maximize the carbon utilization efficiency, operating below the thermodynamic temperature limit for reverse Boudouard gasification (700 °C) is recommended with agitation in slurry-based systems. For a maximum power output, operating under CO2 at higher temperatures (>800 °C) and passing the CO containing flue gas over an oxygen reduction cathode achieve optimal results.]]> Mon 28 Nov 2022 13:29:36 AEDT ]]> Optimized electrolytic carbon and electrolyte systems for electrochemical capacitors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36848 2CO3-Na2CO3-K2CO3 eutectic is used to produce highly amorphous carbon with considerable oxygen functionalization in a process focusing on the conversion of CO2 to value-added carbon. Electrochemical characterization of materials using multiple techniques in different electrolytes allowed for the optimization of these materials as electrochemical capacitor electrodes. Variation in capacitive performance of the investigated materials has been provided based on their physical characteristics. The synthesized carbons are hybrid materials, showing both pseudocapacitive and electric double layer contributions to the total performance. Annealing under nitrogen at 800 °C is shown to widen pores in the carbon material, resulting in an increase in medium scan rate (5-10 mV.s-1) capacitance. A stable specific capacitance of 425 F.g-1 is obtained at 5 mV s-1 in 0.5 M Na2SO4 after 1000 cycles.]]> Mon 13 Mar 2023 14:32:38 AEDT ]]> Predicting slow pyrolysis process outcomes with simplified empirical correlations for a consistent higher heating temperature: biochar yield and ash content https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44461 Fri 14 Oct 2022 09:07:54 AEDT ]]> Carbonate reduction and the properties and applications of carbon formed through electrochemical deposition in molten carbonates: a review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26455 Fri 10 Jul 2020 13:31:04 AEST ]]> The properties and performance of carbon produced through the electrochemical reduction of molten carbonate: a study based on step potential electrochemical spectroscopy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36855 2g-1 have been produced through the electrolytic reduction of molten Li2CO3-K2CO3-Na2CO3 at the eutectic composition (43.5:25:31.5 mol%) onto /graphite at 600 °C and 0.30 A cm-2 under a 60 mL min-1 CO2 gas flow. These carbons have been shown to consist largely of amorphous carbon with some spherical and flake-like conglomerates. Functionalised oxygen has been observed in synthesised carbons using FTIR and XPS. Synthesised carbons have been investigated in 3-electrode cells and analysed using cyclic voltammetry and step potential electrochemical spectroscopy (SPECS) at room temperature. Capacitances as high as 450 F g-1 have been observed at 0.0833 mV s-1 scan rates. The EDLC and pseudo-capacitive behaviour of produced carbons have been analysed and it has been found that the produced carbons behave hybrid capacitors with considerable pseudo-capacitive contributions.

With respect to temperature of carbon deposition, carbon electrodeposited at 500°C has been identified as the best electrical double layer capacitor type material, and as a superior material for pseudocapacitive applications. The performance of a control activated carbon has been compared with the electrodeposited carbons, and it has been shown that, when electrodeposited at low current densities, the resultant carbon performance is superior to the activated carbon.]]> Fri 10 Jul 2020 12:56:42 AEST ]]>
