Graphene-based storage materials for high-power battery applications are provided. The storage materials are composed of vertical stacks of graphene sheets and have reduced resistance for Li ion transport. This reduced resistance is achieved by incorporating a random distribution of structural defects into the stacked graphene sheets, whereby the structural defects facilitate the diffusion of Li ions into the interior of the storage materials.

Methods for the epoxidation of alkenes are provided. The methods include the steps of exposing the alkene to a two-component catalyst system in an aqueous solution in the presence of carbon monoxide and molecular oxygen under conditions in which the alkene is epoxidized. The two-component catalyst system comprises a first catalyst that generates peroxides or peroxy intermediates during oxidation of CO with molecular oxygen and a second catalyst that catalyzes the epoxidation of the alkene using the peroxides or peroxy intermediates. A catalyst system composed of particles of suspended gold and titanium silicalite is one example of a suitable two-component catalyst system.

Embodiments include metal catalyst compositions and methods of forming metal catalyst compositions. A metal catalyst composition can be formed by (a) contacting a supported metal catalyst surface with a ligand-containing alumina precursor for a predetermined contact time to form an intermediate layer having a plurality of aluminum moieties that chemically bond to the supported metal catalyst surface, optionally, contacting the intermediate layer of aluminum moieties with an inert gas for a predetermined intermediate stripping time to remove unreacted ligand-containing alumina precursors, (b) reacting the aluminum moieties with an oxidation reagent for a predetermined reaction time to convert at least a portion of the ligands to hydroxyl groups thereby forming a layer of the alumina over-coat on the supported metal catalyst surface or a previously formed layer of the alumina over-coat, (c) contacting the layer of the alumina over-coat formed in step (b) with an inert gas for a predetermined stripping time to remove unreacted oxidation reagents, replicating the sequential steps (a-c) to form an additional layer of the alumina over-coat, and (d) activating the alumina over-coat, after forming a final layer of the alumina over-coat, to form a plurality of pores therein.

摘要:
Oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes to unsaturated hydrocarbons is carried out over metal vanadate catalysts under oxidizing conditions. The vanadate catalysts are represented by the formulas M.sub.3 (VO.sub.4).sub.2 and MV.sub.2 O.sub.6, M representing Mg, Zn, Ca, Pb, or Cd. The reaction is carried out in the presence of oxygen, but the formation of oxygenate by-products is suppressed.
