Remarkable phosphate electrosorption/desorption by bimetallic MOF-derived hierarchically porous carbon electrode: In-situ creation of multiple active centers and boosting electrochemical activities

Engineering bimetallic capture sites on hierarchically porous carbon electrode for efficient phosphate electrosorption: multiple active centers and excellent electrochemical properties

“…44,45 Furthermore, the bimetallic modulation can boost the formation of oxygen vacancies thereby enriching the active centers in the phosphate electrosorption system. 35…”

“…31–34 The interconnected carbon network provides excellent electrical conductivity and ion transport channels, and the metal active sites generated in situ during the pyrolytic carbonization can be uniformly distributed on the skeleton, avoiding the aggregation of metal nanoparticles. 33,35…”

“…[31][32][33][34] The interconnected carbon network provides excellent electrical conductivity and ion transport channels, and the metal active sites generated in situ during the pyrolytic carbonization can be uniformly distributed on the skeleton, avoiding the aggregation of metal nanoparticles. 33,35 Herein, for the rst time, the novel Ti-La co-doped hierarchically porous carbon electrode materials (TLPCs) were synthesized via in situ growth of LaMOF on hierarchical TiO 2 followed by co-pyrolysis treatment. Composite materials with different Ti/La molar ratios were presented to investigate their electrosorption performances of phosphate.…”
