“…In the absence of catalyst, an elevated temperature (commonly >500 °C) is required to realize the endothermic HI decomposition process. Consequently, continuous endeavors have been directed toward the development and optimization of advanced catalysts for the high-efficiency heterogeneous catalytic decomposition of HI. − …”

Graphene oxide (GO), GO reduced by hydrazine hydrate (rGO-HH), GO reduced by ethylene glycol (rGO-EG), Pt-decorated rGO-HH composite (Pt/rGO-HH), and Pt-decorated rGO-EG composite (Pt/rGO-EG), are fabricated for the heterogeneous catalytic decomposition of HI in a sulfur–iodine thermochemical cycle. Corresponding material characterization on various catalysts are performed to gain insight into the catalytic mechanism. rGO-HH presents better catalytic activity than the GO and rGO-EG counterparts, due to the increase of active sites (unsaturated carbon atoms) with the reduction of oxygen-containing groups and the formation of edge planes. Homogeneously dispersed fine Pt nanoparticles are obtained with employing rGO-EG as the support. The corrugation morphology and graphene edges benefit the nucleation, dispersion, and immobilization of Pt nanoparticles. As a consequence, Pt/rGO-EG presents better catalytic activity and stability than the convenient Pt/activated-carbon (Pt/AC) counterpart. Results indicate that the graphene-based catalysts hold a great promise for the catalytic decomposition of HI.

“…AC has been popularly used for various applications such as purification of water [4], heavy metal removal [5], capacitors [6], natural gas, and biogas storage [7], improving hydrogen production [8]. Also, AC can be used as catalyst supports for the gas-solid reaction [9] and hydrogen generation from the sulfur-iodine thermochemical water-splitting cycle [10].…”

Activated carbon has been popularly utilizing for countless applications such as purification of water, heavy metal removal, and natural gas and biogas storage. In this study, a novel phenomenon of activated carbon powder (ACP) has been utilized to realize a disposable water-activated battery. The battery is environmentally friendly because it is based on an ACP-loaded anode and a multiwalled carbon nanotube-coated air-cathode. The air-cathode was integrated on the backside of a paper-based proton exchange membrane. The battery case was made of cardboard for low cost and biodegradability. The proton exchange membrane was attached to the battery case. The anode was separately fabricated and could be simply set in the battery case for power generation. Because the air-cathode was used, the battery case could be reused for many cycles. The anode could also be reused for some cycles. Although the output power capacity of the battery is low in the range of mW kg−1 of ACP, it is made of low-cost and abundant materials, and therefore being able to be scaled up. The battery is a biodegradable on-demand micropower generation.

“…AC can be produced from almost all carbon-rich and inexpensive precursors (such as coconut shell, wood, saw dust) by physical activation or chemical activation [8]. AC has also been known for its catalyst support capacities in gas-solid reaction [9] and hydrogen generation from sulfur-iodine thermochemical water-splitting cycle [10].…”

In this research, a novel property of activated carbon powder (AC powder) has been utilized to realize a disposable paper-based battery. AC powder was loaded on a 3D carbon paper substrate to make the anode. The cathode was integrated directly on the paper-based battery case by coating multiwalled carbon nanotube mixed with potassium ferricyanide on a side of a sheet of filter paper, the other side worked as a paper-based proton exchange membrane. This design provides a simple but practical disposable water-activated battery. The developed battery generated the maximum power density of 10.4 µW/cm2 at the AC powder concentration of 17 mg/cm2. Although, the output power of the battery is low, it is made of low-cost and abundant materials, and therefore being able to scale up. The battery is a disposable and on-demand micropower generation activated anytime, anywhere by water.
