In this paper, Co 3 O 4 /Ce(OH) 4 /C and Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 /C cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries are prepared by electroconversion. The morphology, structure, and electrochemical properties are investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, charge-discharge test, etc. The results show that Co 3 O 4 /Ce(OH) 4 /C and Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 /C have the same crystal structure, the diffraction peaks of the samples are sharp, and the material crystallinity is high, and both are of nanospherical porous morphology. In electrochemical performance, the first discharge-specific capacities of Co 3 O 4 /Ce(OH) 4 /C and Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 /C are as high as 185.7 and 94.2 mAh g −1 at a rate of 0.1 A g −1 . Moreover, the specific capacity of Co 3 O 4 /Ce(OH) 4 /C and Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 /C increases after 1000 cycles at the 0.5 A g −1 rates, and the coulombic efficiency remains around 100%, showing excellent cycle performance.

“…Broadening of the peaks for the BCO support and impregnated sample is suspected to be the result of interaction of different species, which was also reported by Morlanés et al [20] associated with the systems containing Ba and Ce. They also conclude that Ba may facilitate the reduction of Ce.…”

Ammonia (NH3) is a carbon-free and hydrogen-rich (17.8 wt% H2) chemical that has the potential to revolutionize the energy sector. Compared with hydrogen (H2), NH3 can be easily liquefied, stored, and transported globally. However, the conventional thermocatalytic process to synthesize NH3 accounts for 2% of global energy consumption and 1.2% of CO2 emissions annually. To make the process further efficient, new catalysts must be developed to allow for NH3 synthesis in milder conditions with high thermal stability. To this end, we have developed ruthenium (Ru) supported on perovskite (BaCexOy) via a ball-milling-assisted exsolution method that allows for a more tunable morphology. Reactivity is compared with the catalyst prepared via the conventional impregnation technique. The as-synthesized catalysts are characterized by XRD, H2-TPR, TEM, XPS, and APT. The NH3 synthesis is carried out in a packed-bed tube reactor thermochemically. Using N2 instead of Ar as the carrier gas during exsolution can favour reactivity by increasing active sites and perhaps improving metal-support interaction. The impregnated sample shows higher reactivity than the exsolved catalyst; however, the long-term durability is slightly better using the exsolved catalyst. Finally, APT results interestingly show that the exsolved catalyst is more resistant to hydride formation and hydrogen poisoning, which is one of the main deactivation mechanisms for such metallic catalysts.

“…However, only a limited number of reports detail metals beyond Ru and Pd to facilitate this chemistry (Table 1, Figure 1). 23,78,[97][98][99][100][101][102] 35 in all cases, Ru is regarded as a highly active metal for NH 3 thermal 78 and oxidative 84,85 reforming. Similarly, low metal contents generally make for more cost-effective materials, but deactivation phenomena may necessitate supra-stoichiometric loadings to prolong catalyst lifetime (vide infra).…”
