    Carbon shell encapsulation has emerged as an effective strategy for enhancing the durability of Pt-based electrocatalysts for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEFCs). Here, a nitrogen-doped carbon shell-encapsulated Pt catalyst supported on Ketjen black (Pt@C/KB) was synthesized, and its catalytic performance was characterized. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance and anti-poisoning properties were investigated in 0.1 M HClO4 with and without H2SO4 or H3PO4 poisoning, using a rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) technique. Despite a decrease in the electrochemical surface area (ECSA), Pt@C/KB encapsulated by a thin graphene-like carbon shell (<1 nm thick) showed high selectivity for the four-electron reaction due to its superior anti-poisoning properties, as well as improved ORR activity and durability. The H2O2 yield of Pt@C/KB, the precursor of hydroxyl radicals, was decreased approximately one third compared to bare Pt catalyst and the gap was more pronounced in the low potential (E ≤ 0.1 V/RHE) where close to practical anode potential, suggesting that Pt@C/KB can be applied as a new anode catalyst. Applying carbon core-shell catalysts to both the cathode and anode is a prospectively effective approach for improving the cell performance by improving the ORR activity and anti-poisoning properties, as well as for extending the lifespan of PEFCs.

    Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have remarkable properties such as high conductivity, high porosity, and high oxidation resistance, which make them excellent candidates for supporting electrocatalysts in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this study, high-crystallinity, high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), which were prepared by enhanced direct injection pyrolytic synthesis (e-DIPS), were used as a support for a metal electrocatalyst. Platinum (Pt) nanoparticles of uniform size were synthesized by a facile solvothermal method and distributed evenly on the surface of the SWCNTs (Pt/SWCNT). Electrochemical measurements using cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry showed that the Pt/SWCNT exhibited higher mass activity and specific activity compared to commercial Pt nanoparticles supported on graphitized carbon (Pt/C). A PEMFC membrane electrode assembly (MEA) utilizing Pt/SWCNT as the cathode layer (Pt/SWCNT-MEA) with low Pt loading demonstrated high-efficiency performance with power density per gram of Pt that was three times higher than that of Pt/C. Furthermore, in a durability test using a high-voltage triangular wave between 1.0 and 1.5 V to induce corrosion of the catalyst and carbon support, simulating harsh conditions of actual repeated start-up/shut-down cycles during long-term use, the Pt/SWCNT-MEA retained high performance even after 10,000 potential cycles. These results indicate that SWCNTs show promise as an excellent support material for electrocatalysts, offering high performance and durability, and thus can contribute to realizing PEMFCs with superior performance.

    Though expensive platinum (Pt) is used as catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), insufficient durability remains as a bottleneck for commercialization of PEFCs. Improving both catalytic performance and durability by graphene encapsulation is an attractive strategy to solve this problem. In this study, graphene-encapsulated PtFe core-shell catalyst is synthesized with dimethyl formamide (DMF) and a pair of Pt and Fe electrodes without using any metal salts by utilizing the solution plasma (SP) process. TEM and EELS results show synthesized PtFe nanoparticles are encapsulated with close to single-layered highly crystallized graphene. Although commercial Pt/C showed significant performance degradation (ECSA −33%, MA −68%) after 50,000 cycles of accelerated durability test (ADT), PtFe core-shell catalyst shows remarkably improved durability (ECSA −13%, MA −19%) while graphene shell clearly remains. The improved durability is more prominent in the single cell test, the decrease in maximum power density after 6000 cycles of ADT was significantly lower as −1.2%, compared to that of Pt/C (−52.1%). This study introduces a novel and attractive catalyst synthesis process by the SP method followed by heat treatments and suggests graphene encapsulation can improve long-term durability of catalyst while maintaining ORR activity.

    Developing an effective method for synthesizing high-performance and durable catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction is of great importance for cost reduction and the wide application of fuel cells. This study presents a simple and effective strategy using a plasma reaction in the liquid phase to synthesize carbon-shell-encapsulated Pt and PtFe catalysts. A carbon-shell-encapsulated PtFe catalyst alloyed with up to 29 at.% Fe exhibits a mass activity of 730 mA·mgpt−1 and a specific activity of 1772 μA cm−1, which are 2.4 and 5 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C, respectively. The carbon shell effectively maintained the low oxidation state of Pt by suppressing the formation of Pt–OH and significantly improved the durability of the catalyst in accelerated durability tests, increasing the gap in mass activity with Pt/C by a factor of up to six after 50,000 cycles. In addition, the decrease in the electrochemical surface area by the carbon shell enabled a more stable 4-electron reaction over a wide potential range. This study may provide fascinating insights into the effect of the carbon shell contributing to the improvement of the catalytic activity and durability of fuel cells as well as the novel plasma-based synthesis strategy of core-shell catalyst.

    Electrochemical reduction of CO2comprising the CO2reduction reactuib (CO2RR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is one of the most promising technologies for electrification of the chemical process industry. Here, the performance of a electrocatalyst with a three-dimensional structure of InZnCu on Cu foam (CF) is presented. This electrocatalyst was fabricated by electrodeposition of In and Zn over Cu and exhibited a superior reduction of CO2to CO at a Faradaic efficiency of 93.7% at -0.7 V and an excellently long duration of 100 h. Due to the synergy of the thin In layer, the Zn nanosheets provided a high surface-active area and strong mechanical robustness during the reaction. Additionally, a two-electrode system was constructed based on the CF-modified surface, which provided valuable guidelines on the overall CO2RR-OER system for further evolution. Furthermore, due to the facile synthesis, the bimetal-layer double hydroxide (LDH) exhibited high conductivity and high OER performance. Hence, the two-electrode system assembled excellent electrocatalysts for the CO2RR-OER (InZnCu/CF||Cu(OH)2NWs@NiCo-LDH/CF) with high conversions of CO2to CO of 67% and 88% at 2 and 50 mA cm-2, respectively. Notably, the CO2RR-OER system exhibited excellent stability in a 40 h CO2conversion with a constant current density of 2 mA cm-2at an ultralow voltage of 1.59 V. Moreover, the calculation of the energy input converting CO per ton of CO2resulted in a low energy input range for further development in scalability. This overall CO2RR-OER proposes development in electrochemical CO2reduction for industrial applications.

    Highly dense sulfonic acid-functionalized mesoporous electrolytes with high proton conductivity under dry conditions were prepared using tetramethoxysilane and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane in the presence of surfactants. Impedance spectroscopy and quasielastic neutron scattering measurements showed that the proton conductive properties of the mesoporous electrolytes depended significantly on the sulfonic acid densities on the surface of the mesoporous walls. This finding was also supported by molecular dynamics simulations. The proton conductivity of the mesoporous electrolyte with the highest acid density of 3.1 SO3H molecules/nm2 showed a value of 0.3 mS/cm at 433 K even under dry conditions. This value was higher than that for Nafion by about 2 orders of magnitude. Such high proton conductivity is thought to be induced by proton hopping in the hydrogen-bonded networks that were predominantly formed by neighboring sulfonic acid groups. © 2013 American Chemical Society.

    A nylon 6-clay hybrid (nanocomposite, NCH) was developed by Toyota CRDL group. In the NCH, the silicate layers of clay mineral are dispersed on a nanometer level and are strongly interacted with the matrix, and then significant improvements in the mechanical properties of the material or the discovery of unexpected new properties were realized. Polypropylene (PP) is the most widely used polymer, and then an appearance of a PP-clay nanocomposite has been desired for a long time. As a PP does not include any polar groups in its backbone, it was thought that the homogeneous dispersion of the silicate layers would not be realized. But we have developed successfully PP-clay nanocomposite using organoclay and modified PP. That is, organophilic clay, PP oligomer carrying polar groups and PP were melt-blended. This is a direct polymer intercalation process for preparing polymer nanocomposites by melt compounding, a useful process from an industrial standpoint. We have also developed successfully other polyolefin polymers (polyethylene), polyolefin rubbers (ethylene-propylene elastomer, ethylene-propylene diene monomer) and nanocomposites by this direct polymer intercalation process or by techniques based on direct polymer intercalation process. These prepared polyolefin nanocomposites exhibit superior mechanical, thermal and gas barrier properties. © The Society of Polymer Science, Japan (SPSJ) All rights reserved.

    The angular distributions of elemental composition of films prepared by laser ablation of perovskite oxide SrZrO3 have been investigated using electron probe microanalysis with wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy. Each constituent element showed two modal distribution composed of a broad cos m θ (m=2-3) distribution and a sharp cosn θ (n=8-23) distribution. Oxygen showed a broader distribution than that of Sr and Zr. At the polar angle close to surface normal direction (polar angle <12°), Zr concentration was higher than that of Sr in vacuum whereas in oxygen-containing atmosphere their concentrations were about the same. Below oxygen pressure of 1.3 Pa, Sr and Zr concentration increased and decreased with the increase in polar angle, respectively, whereas in oxygen partial pressure of 10 Pa, both elements showed no angular dependences. Broadening of angular distribution of all the elements was observed when deposition was performed under oxygen partial pressure of 10 Pa, which is considered to be caused by collisional scatterings of more than ten times with ambient gas molecules. © 2008 American Vacuum Society.

    A novel and general approach to prepare polyolefin-clay hybrids by using the maleic anhydride modified polyolefins and organophilic clay during melt-blending was reported. The silicate layers of the clay were exfoliated and homogeneously dispersed at the monolayers in the hybrids. The hybrids exhibited remarkable reinforcement compared to conventional composites filled with talc which were dispersed at micrometer level.

    Novel liquid crystalline composites composed of a nematic two-frequency-addressing liquid crystal and organized clay mineral (about 1 wt %) have been prepared. The particles of clay mineral were dispersed homogeneously in the liquid crystal. The composite cells became transparent within 50ms when a 60 Hz electric field was applied. The transparent state was maintained after the field was switched off. It transformed into a turbid light scattering state by applying 1.5kHz electric field which caused dynamic scattering in the cell. The light transmittance of both memory states did not change after 20 h without the electric field. © 2006 Taylor & Francis.

    The novel liquid crystalline composites cell based on a nematic two-frequency-driving liquid crystal and organized clay exhibited reversible and bistable electro-optic effects between the transparent and light scattering states. In this paper, the factors affecting the electro-optic effect of the composites were investigated. The wettability of the liquid crystal on the organized clay strongly affected to their memory capability. The memory effect decreased drastically with decreasing the clay content in the composites with clay content below 1 wt.%. Not only the composites themselves but also the treatment of the substrates affected to the electro-optic effect. The treatment for the homogeneous alignment gave the better memory effect for the transparent state.

    Nylon 6‐clay hybrid (NCH) is a molecular composite of Nylon 6 and uniformly dispersed silicate monolayers of montmorillonite. In this study the preferred orientation of montmorillonite and Nylon‐6 crystallites in a thick (3 mm) injection‐molded bar of NCH has been investigated using x‐ray diffraction and electron micrography (TEM). It is clear that this bar has a triple layer structure consisting of surface, intermediate, and middle layers which have different preferred orientation. In the surface layer both the silicate monolayers and the chain axes of Nylon‐6 crystallites are parallel to the bar surface though the latter are randomly oriented within the plane. In the intermediate layer the silicate monolayers remain parallel to the bar surface but the Nylon‐6 crystallites rotate by 90° so that the chain axes would be perpendicular to the bar surface or the silicate monolayers. In the middle layer the silicate monolayers are randomly oriented around the flow axis of the NCH bar while remaining parallel to it, and the Nylon crystallites are randomly oriented around the flow axis while keeping their chain axes perpendicular to the silicate monolayers. It may be concluded that such preferred orientation of Nylon 6 crystallites is induced by the clay because the crystallites in the pure Nylon 6 bar have no preferred orientation. ©1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    We synthesized nylon 6‐clay hybrid materials using four types of clay minerals, montmorillonite, saponite, hectrite, and synthetic mica. The mechanical properties of their injection molded specimens were measured according to ASTM. Nylon 6‐clay hybrid using montmorillonite was superior to the other hybrids in mechanical properties. This might result from the difference in the interaction between nylon molecules and silicates in the hybrids. To clarify this hypothesis, we synthesized intercalated compounds of the clay minerals with glycine as the model of the hybrids, and analyzed the interaction using 15N cross polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The 15N‐NMR result reveals that the positive charge density on the nitrogen of the intercalated compound based on montmorillonite was largest in all the intercalated compounds. It was suggested that montmorillonite interacted strongly with nylon 6 by ionic interaction. This ionic interaction was one of the reasons why these hybrid materials had superior mechanical properties. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Copyright © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    In this report, we added hexamethylene diamine (HMDA) to nylon 6-clay hybrid (NCH), in which some silicate layers were laminated and these laminated layers were dispersed in the nylon 6 matrix. The diamine-modified NCH had sufficient elongation and impact strength. However, the strength and modulus slightly decreased. The silicate layers were pillared by diammonium ion of the diamine in the diamine-modified NCH. It is considered that the decrease of mechanical properties results in a lowering of the surface area between the silicate layers and nylon 6.

    The molecular structure of nylon in nylon 6-clay hybrid (NCH), in which clay silicates were dispersed uniformly, was analyzed using a field desorption mass spectrometer. The main peaks of fragment ions from the mass spectrum of NCH, were classified into ion groups. Two possible molecular structures of NCH were postulated supposing different locations of the copolymerized nylon 12 monomer unit (12-aminolauric acid) which was intercalated in the clay prior to the polymerization to enhance the miscibility between the clay and nylon 6. We compared the experimental fragment ion groups with those from the expected structures. From these results, it became clear that nylon 12 monomer units did not exist only at the end of nylon 6, but also occur randomly along the nylon 6 main chain. NCH without having any 12-aminolauric acid units was proved to have improved thermal properties.

    Nylon 6–clay hybrid is a molecular composite of nylon 6 and uniformly dispersed silicate layers of montmorillonite. One‐pot synthesis of the hybrid was carried out by the following procedures. Montmorillonite was dispersed in water, and then ε‐caprolactam, acid (phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, benzenesulfonic acid, isophthalic acid, trichloroacetic acid, or acetic acid), and 6‐aminocaproic acid were added to the dispersion. The mixtures were reacted at 260°C for 6 h, yielding the nylon 6–clay hybrids (1potNCHs). X‐ray diffraction revealed that the silicate layers of 1potNCH by phosphoric acid were uniformly dispersed in the nylon 6 matrix. The 1potNCH had excellent mechanical properties. The strength and the modulus of the hybrid increased compared with previously reported nylon 6–clay hybrid (NCH) synthesized by montmorillonite intercalated with 12‐aminolauric acid. The heat distortion temperature (HDT) of the 1potNCH was 160°C, which was 8°C higher than that of NCH. In other 1potNCHs, montmorillonite had a smaller effect on the increase of those properties, and interlayer spacing of montmorillonite was observed at ca. 20 Å. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    It was found that montmorillonite was intercalated with ϵ‐caprolactam. X‐ray diffraction revealed that the chain axes of the ϵ‐caprolactam were parallel to the montmorillonite plates. The intercalated montmorillonite was swollen by molten ϵ‐caprolactam at 200°C. ϵ‐Caprolactam and 6‐aminocaproic acid (accelerator) were polymerized with the intercalated montmorillonite at 260°C for 6 h, yielding a nylon 6‐clay hybrid. X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron micrography revealed that the silicate layers of the hybrid were uniformly dispersed in the nylon 6 matrix. Mechanical properties of the hybrid were improved. The strength and the modulus of the hybrid increased compared with the previously reported nylon 6 clay‐hybrid (NCH) synthesized by montmorillonite intercalated with 12‐aminolauric acid.

    Nylon 6-clay hybrid (NCH) is a molecular composite of nylon 6 and uniformly-dispersed silicate layers of montmorillonite. Gas permeabilities in NCH films were measured to estimate the gas barrier properties. Montmorillonite crystal layers assume planar orientation in NCH. Crystallinity of nylon 6 in NCH was a little larger than that of nylon 6. The gas permeability in NCH decreased with the increase in the montmorillonite content. NCH had a good gas barrier properties compared with nylon 6. The superior gas barrier properties of NCH are ascribed to the increase of tortuosity factor due to the planar orientation of montmorillonite crystal layers.

    High‐resolution 13C‐NMR spectra were studied for two different crystalline structures of nylon 6 in the solid state by the cross polarization/magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) method. Two crystalline structures, α‐form and γ‐form, gave different chemical shifts for methylene carbons. The results showed that the hydrogen bonds between intermolecular chains are stronger in the γ‐form than in the α‐form. This strongly supports the results of the X‐ray study of nylon 6 by Malta et al. Our results also showed that interamolecular delocalization of positive charges occurs in the γ‐form through hyperconjugation in which the dihedral angle between the π bond and neighboring σ bonds is 30° while no such effect can be expected in the α‐form in which the angle is 0°.

    Vinylbenzyl-type polyamide macromers (<B>1</B>) of various average molecular weights (<I>M</I><SUB>n</SUB>; 3900, 5400, and 8400) were prepared by the anionic ring-opening polymerization of a bicyclic oxalactam, 8-oxa-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-7-one (abbreviated as BOL, <B>2</B>) followed by a reaction with <I>p</I>-vinylbenzylamine. The relative reactivity of the macromer (M<SUB>1</SUB>) in the radical copolymerization with styrene (M<SUB>2</SUB>) was found to be lower than that of <I>p</I>-methylstyrene from the estimation of the reciprocal monomer reactivity ratio (1/<I>r</I><SUB>2</SUB>). The resulting graft copolymer composed of a polystyrene stock and polyamide branches was characterized by structural analysis, solubility test, and determination of moisture sorption. Two kinds of transparent binary blend films, which were i) the graft copolymer and homopolystyrene and ii) the graft copolymer and polyBOL, were cast on a glass plate from the corresponding chloroform and chloroform-methanol (9:1) solutions, respectively. In the case of the former film comprising mainly polystyrene, the hydrophilic polyamide segment of the graft copolymer as a really minor component was found to be located on the glass-side surface from the contact angle measurement and the attenuated total reflection-infrared spectroscopy.
