The objective of this study was to explore the route of glycerol conversion and product generation via the TiO2-induced photocatalytic oxidation in the presence of H2O2. Effects of TiO2 dosage (1-3g/L), H2O2 concentration (0.3-1.5M), light UV intensity (1.1-4.7mW/cm2) and irradiation time (4-8h) on the level of glycerol conversion and product selectivity were identified using a 2k factorial design. It was found that TiO2 and H2O2 played a simultaneous positive effect on the glycerol conversion in the presence of UV-light. Among all investigated parameters, the most important parameter on glycerol conversion and product selectivity was the irradiation time. Glycerol conversion and product generation can proceed via both h+-mediate and radical-mediated routes, but the radical-mediated route was dominant.

An extraordinary high-speed synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was discovered by synthesizing the AuNPs in ethanol-water mixtures using a solution plasma process (SPP). The influence of the ethanol mole fraction (χethanol) in the ethanol-water mixtures on the reduction rate of gold chloride ions to AuNPs under the SPP system was studied. The results indicated that the reaction rate of the AuNPs synthesis exhibited a maximum value (i.e. 35.2 times faster than in a pure water system) at the significant point where the partial molar volumes of ethanol and water changed drastically.

Lee H., Ueno T., Saito N.

JOM 67 巻 ( 11 ) 頁： 2550 - 2556 2015年10月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：JOM

Carbon nanomaterials were synthesized by using the solution plasma process and the carbon structure was precisely controlled through adjusting electrode gap distances. Transmission electron microscope and diffraction images showed ordered graphitic layers and clear ring patterns when the electrode distance was wider. The measurement of conductive properties has been improved approximately 400 times from 19 k Ω cm to 47 Ω cm, and the C/H ratio from the result of elemental analysis decreased from 0.31 to 0.18 with decreasing resistivity of carbon. These results showed that the electrode distance was an important factor to control the energy input during the synthesis of carbon materials in the plasma/gas zone generated by solution plasma processing and strongly affect the properties of synthesized carbon materials.

Extraction of genomic DNA from various types of samples is often challenging for commercial silica spin column. In this study, we proposed graphite oxide (GO)/cellulose composite as an alternative material for genomic DNA extraction. The purity of DNA and extraction efficiency were compared to that of commercial silica product. In this study, the total weight % of GO was fixed at 4.15% in GO/Cellulose composite. Chewed gum, nail clip, cigarette bud paper, animal tissue and hair sample were used as various genomic DNA sources for extraction experiments. Among all types of samples, the extraction efficiencies were 4 to 12 times higher than that of commercial silica spin column. The absorbance ratio of 260 nm to 280 nm (A260/A280) of all samples ranged between 1.6 and 2.0. The results demonstrated that GO/Cellulose composites might serve as an innovative solid support material for genomic DNA extraction.

Panomsuwan G., Saito N., Ishizaki T.

Electrochemistry Communications 59 巻頁： 81 - 85 2015年7月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：Electrochemistry Communications

The synthesis of boron-doped carbon nanoparticles (BCNP) has been achieved through a solution plasma process without the addition of a metal catalyst source using a mixture of benzene and triphenyl borate as precursor. The electrocatalytic activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of BCNP can be improved in terms of onset potential and current density compared to that of undoped carbon nanoparticles in alkaline solution. Moreover, BCNP possesses superior long-term durability and tolerance to methanol oxidation in the ORR.

Li O.L., Guo Y., Chang J.S., Saito N.

The disposal of enormous amount of stormwater sediments becomes an emerging worldwide problem. Stormwater sediments are contaminated by heavy metals, phosphorus, trace organic and hydrocarbons, and cannot be disposed without treatment. Thermal plasma decontamination technology offers a high decomposition rate in a wide range of toxic organic compound and immobilization of heavy metal. In this study, we compared the treatment results between two different modes of thermal plasma: (1) a non-transferred direct current (DC) mode and (2) a partial DC-transferred mode. The reductions of total organic carbon (TOC) were, respectively, 25% and 80% for non-transferred and partially transferred plasma, respectively. Most of the toxic organic compounds were converted majorly to CxHy. In the gaseous emission, the accumulated CxHy, CO, NO and H2S were significantly higher in partially transferred mode than in non-transferred mode. The solid analysis demonstrated that the concentrations of Ca and Fe were enriched by 500% and 40%, respectively. New chemical compositions such as KAlSi3O8, Fe3O4, NaCl and CaSO4 were formed after treatment in partially DC-transferred mode. The power inputs were 1 and 10 kW, respectively, for non-transferred DC mode and a partially DC-transferred mode. With a lower energy input, non-transferred plasma treatment can be used for decontamination of sediments with low TOC and metal concentration. Meanwhile, partially transferred thermal plasma with higher energy input is suitable for treating sediments with high TOC percentage and volatile metal concentration. The organic compounds are converted into valuable gaseous products which can be recycled as an energy source.

Panomsuwan G., Watthanaphanit A., Ishizaki T., Saito N.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics 17 巻 ( 21 ) 頁： 13794 - 13799 2015年6月

Black titania spheres (H-TiO<inf>2-x</inf>) were synthesized via a simple green method assisted by water plasma at a low temperature and atmospheric pressure. The in situ production of highly energetic hydroxyl and hydrogen species from water plasma are the prominent factors in the oxidation and hydrogenation reactions during the formation of H-TiO<inf>2-x</inf>, respectively. The visible-light photocatalytic activity toward the dye degradation of H-TiO<inf>2-x</inf> can be attributed to the synergistic effect of large-surface area, visible-light absorption and the existence of oxygen vacancies and Ti<sup>3+</sup> sites.

Fluorine-doped carbon nanoparticles (FCNPs) were synthesized via a simple one-step solution plasma process for the first time. This synthesis strategy can be achieved at relatively low temperature and atmospheric pressure without the involvement of a metal catalyst. A mixture of toluene (C<inf>6</inf>H<inf>5</inf>CH<inf>3</inf>) and trifluorotoluene (C<inf>6</inf>H<inf>5</inf>CF<inf>3</inf>) was used as a precursor for the synthesis. The fluorine doping content can be varied from 0.95 to 4.52 at%, depending on the precursor mixing ratio. The structural analyses reveal that FCNPs mainly exhibit a disordered amorphous structure. The incorporation of fluorine atoms results in the creation of more defect sites and disordered structure in the carbon particles. The electrocatalytic activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of FCNPs in an alkaline solution shows a significant improvement with increasing fluorine doping content, as reflected in an increased limiting current density and a positively shifted onset potential. In association with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, an improved ORR activity is possibly attributed to the intercalation of ionic C-F and semi-ionic C-F bonds in the carbon structure. In addition, FCNPs possess excellent long-term operation durability and strong tolerance to methanol oxidation compared to those of a commercial Pt-based catalyst. Our results from this study not only confirm the applicability of the solution plasma process to the synthesis of FCNPs with a controllable fluorine doping level but also provide detailed information of FCNPs as potential alternative ORR catalysts for the electrocatalysis research.

In this study, we designed and demonstrated the effectiveness of an integrated waste treatment system for contaminated stormwater sludge. The system is comprised of two components: pulsed arc electrohydraulic discharge (PAED) for aqueous-phase treatment and thermal plasma decontamination for solid-phase treatment. PAED provided a reduction of 80 % in total organic carbon (TOC) within a treatment time of 5 min in the aqueous phase. With a prolonged treatment of 30 min, the decontamination of TOC reached over 90 % in the aqueous phase, accompanied with 20 % carbon and 70 % sulfur decreases in weight in the solid phase. A huge weight reduction can be achieved prior to further solid treatment. The solid phase, named as the PAED-treated sludge, was separated by sedimentation and transferred to thermal plasma treatment. The thermal plasma-treated sludge was slightly melted, and the formation of slag was possible. X-ray energy dispersion solid analysis showed that carbon and sulfur were reduced to zero after treatment. Si, Mg, and Al decreased by 25, 30, and 60 %, respectively, while Ca and Fe enriched by 400 and 25 %, respectively. The emission gas analyses demonstrated a possible energy recovery from gaseous compounds with adequate gaseous treatment devices. This research demonstrates an innovative treatment approach of various sludge types, especially those types that contain high water contents and are severely contaminated by toxic organic compounds.

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanoparticles derived from acrylonitrile plasma for electrochemical oxygen reduction

Panomsuwan G., Saito N., Ishizaki T.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics 17 巻 ( 9 ) 頁： 6227 - 6232 2015年3月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanoparticles were synthesized via a solution plasma process, with acrylonitrile as a single-source precursor, followed by a post-thermal annealing process. The nitrogen-bonding states can be tuned by varying the annealing temperature. The best electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in terms of both onset potential and limiting current density can be achieved for the catalyst annealed at an optimal temperature of 800 °C because of the high content of graphitic-N catalytic sites and a large specific surface area.

Well-crystallized PdAu nanoparticles supported on Ketjen Black (KB) were successfully fabricated when both Pd and Au wires were served as the electrode pair by a solution plasma technique at atmospheric pressure. The synthesis of PdAu nanoparticles was almost simultaneous with their dispersion on KB. As-obtained PdAu nanoparticles were confirmed to be alloy by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) of each particle. PdAu nanoparticles with the average diameter of 2-5 nm were equably distributed on KB. PdAu nanoparticles showed good electrocatalytic activity both in acidic and alkaline solution corresponding to their obvious oxidation and reduction features. PdAu nanoparticles have improved electrochemical stability compared with the electrochemical properties of Pd and Au nanoparticles mixture after long time multi-scan cyclic voltammetry. Multi-scan cyclic voltammetry also presented the PdAu nanoparticles in alkaline solution have better stability than that in acidic solution. Thus as-obtained PdAu alloy nanoparticles would become a promising electrocatalysts for fuel cells or Li-air batteries. This novel process showed its potential applications in designing optimization of catalysts for fuel cells or Li-air batteries in future.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics 17 巻 ( 1 ) 頁： 407 - 413 2015年1月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Heteroatom-doped carbon matrices have been attracting significant attention due to their superior electrochemical stability, light weight and low cost. Hence, in this study, various types of heteroatom, including single dopants of N, B and P and multiple dopants of B-N and P-N with a carbon matrix were synthesized by an innovative method named the solution plasma process. The heteroatom was doped into the carbon matrix during the discharge process by continuous dissociation and recombination of precursors. The chemical bonding structure, ORR activity and electrochemical performance were compared in detail for each single dopant and multiple dopants. According to the Raman spectra, the carbon structures were deformed by the doped heteroatoms in the carbon matrix. In comparison with N-doped structures (NCNS), the ORR potential of PN-doped structures (PNCNS) was positively shifted from -0.27 V to -0.24 V. It was observed that doping with N decreased the bonding between P and C in the matrix. The multiple doping induced additional active sites for ORR which further enhanced ORR activity and stability. Therefore, PNCNS is a promising metal-free catalyst for ORR at the cathode in a fuel cell.

Journal of the Electrochemical Society 162 巻 ( 14 ) 頁： C741 - C743 2015年

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：Journal of the Electrochemical Society

An Mg(OH)2/carbon composite film was prepared on magnesium alloy AZ31 by an ascorbic acid (AA)-assisted hydrothermal method. All films were composed of crystalline brucite type Mg(OH)2. Film thickness decreased with an increase in the amount of AA added. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies revealed that a peak component related to sp2-hybridized carbons contributed to improve film conductivity. Film resistivity decreased with an increase in C content. The film obtained from the aqueous solution containing 10 g/L of AA showed the lowest corrosion current density of all samples.

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：Materials Today: Proceedings

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanoparticles (NCNPs) were synthesized by a solution plasma process followed by a thermal annealing at 900°C. Cyano-aromatic molecules, including cyanobenzene (C7H5N), 2-cyanopyridine (C6H4N2), and cyanopyrazine (C5H3N3), were used as single source precursors for the synthesis. The morphological features of NCNPs were governed by the aggregates and agglomerates of uniform nanosized particles (20-40nm). The structural analyses confirmed that NCNPs mainly exhibited a disordered amorphous carbon structure. The nitrogen doping contents determined from an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were found to be 0.58, 1.36, and 1.29 at% for NCNPs synthesized from cyanobenzene, 2-cyanopyridine, and cyanopyrazine, respectively. The improvements of oxygen reduction reaction activity and selectivity toward a four-electron pathway in an alkaline solution of NCNPs were correlated with the nitrogen doping content and nitrogen bonding state. The NCNPs also possessed excellent long-term durability and strong methanol tolerance in an alkaline solution compared to those of a commercial Pt/carbon catalyst.

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：RSC Advances

Platinum supported on carbon Vulcan XC-72 (Pt/Cs) for application as a cathode in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) was coated with silica layers by a sol-gel method with three types of surfactants with different charging properties. The three various types of surfactants (1) cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)), (2) anionic surfactant (sodium dodecylbezenesulfonate (SDBS)), and (3) non-ionic surfactant (Pluronic 123 (P123)) were applied to prevent agglomeration of the Pt nanoparticles and prevent detachment of the Pt nanoparticles from the carbon supports during operation. The degree of improvement depended on the type of surfactant applied in the sol-gel method. The formation of silica layers by SDBS and P123 significantly improved the durability of the Pt/Cs catalysts under acid conditions. Silica coated Pt/Cs formed using SDBS and P123 showed improved durability after 500 cycles in a cyclic voltammetry test in 0.5 M sulfuric acid (H<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf>) by 27.3% and 22.7%, respectively.

Cellulose conversion to sugar alcohol by solution plasma processing

Watthanaphanit A., Lee H., Saito N.

Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings 1745 巻頁： 22 - 27 2015年

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings

Cellulose was selectively converted to sugar alcohols (sorbitol and mannitol) over a supported-metal catalyst ruthenium on carbon (RuJC) by the application of plasma in cellulose aqueous suspension. Generally, conversion of cellulose to sugar alcohol should be done under H2 pressure and high temperature. The goal of using solution plasma process (SPP) in this study is to initiate "self-hydrogenation" by reactive hydrogen species generated from the plasma due to dissociation of water medium. The sugar alcohols were produced at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analysis indicates that the SPP is a potent tool to promote the conversion of cellulose to sugar alcohols.

A study on electron impact dissociative ionization of organosilicon precursors for plasma processing

Yun Y., Lee M., Inoue Y., Saito N., Takai O.

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 14 巻 ( 12 ) 頁： 9653 - 9656 2014年12月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

We discussed the electron impact dissociation behavior of the organosilicon molecules with methyl groups, based on the fragment pattern and molecular-orbital calculation of the bond dissociation energies for the molecules. From the calculation of bond dissociation energy of the organosilicon molecules, methyl groups, which bonded directly to the silicon atom, were found to have the weakest. Regarding the fragment patterns of the reactants investigated by a quadrupole mass spectrometer, the hexamethyldisiloxane was harder to dissociate than the trimethylmethoxysilane due to the strong Si-O bonding force, which also affected the dissociation in the plasma. From the above considerations, dissociation reactions by electron impact could be partly identified.

Well-crystallized Pd nanoclusters supported on Ketjen Black (KB) were successfully fabricated when Pd wires were served as an electrode pair by a solution plasma technique at atmospheric pressure. The synthesis of Pd nanoclusters was almost simultaneous with their dispersion on KB. Pd nanoclusters with the average diameter of about 2. nm were equably distributed on KB, and showed good electrochemical property corresponding to their obvious characteristic peaks. Multi-scan cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry clarified that as-prepared Pd nanoclusters have better electrochemical stability in alkaline solution than that of in acidic solution. Thus as-obtained Pd nanoclusters would become a promising electrocatalyst for fuel cells or Li-air batteries.
