Hydrogen production from biomass via hydrothermal gasification using Ni-Ce catalysts supported on Kaolin

Recently, PhD student Mr. Zhi-qiang Wang supervised by Prof. Zhen Fang, collaborated with Dr. Sonil Nanda (Dalhousie University) and Prof. Janusz A Kozinski (Lakehead University) published a research article in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy about Hydrogen production from biomass via hydrothermal gasification using Ni-Ce catalysts supported on Kaolin.

The development of efficient and stable catalysts for the effective gasification of biomass waste is crucial for advancing renewable hydrogen production. In this study, a Ni–Ce bimetallic catalyst supported on calcined kaolin (Ni–Ce/c-Kaolin) was prepared via co-impregnation and applied to the supercritical water gasification of cotton stalks at 340–400 °C and 16–30 MPa. Under the optimized conditions (380 °C, 5 min, 0.5 g cotton stalks, and 0.5 g catalyst), the H2 yield increased from 1.85 to 21.82 mmol/g, and the specific surface area rose from 4.74 to 26.46 m²/g; the introduction of 2.5 wt% Ce further enhanced catalytic activity, achieving an H2 yield 2.25 times higher than that of Ni/c-Kaolin. The addition of Ce altered the reduction behavior and electronic structure of Ni; XPS analysis indicated that the Ce3+/Ce4+ redox cycle promoted oxygen mobility, while TGA and FT-IR results revealed that Ce suppressed carbon deposition and facilitated the participation of surface hydroxyl groups in the reaction. Gasification experiments with different crop residues showed that cotton stalks exhibited the highest gasification efficiency (70.06%) and H2 yield (21.82 mmol/g), surpassing those of rice and wheat straw. Ni–Ce/c-Kaolin catalyst retained high catalytic activity and structural stability after undergoing recycling tests. This work reveals a new route for the high-value utilization of agricultural residues, while also confirming the potential of kaolin as an alternative to conventional alumina supports.

Results were published in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy:

高岭土负载Ni-Ce催化剂水热气化生物质制氢研究

最近,在方真教授的指导下,博士生王志强先生与加拿大Dalhousie大学助理教授Sonil Nanda博士和加拿大Lakehead 大学工学院院长Janusz A Kozinski院士合作,在《国际氢能杂志》上发表了一篇关于利用高岭土负载的Ni-Ce催化剂通过水热气化生物质制氢的研究文章。

开发高效稳定的催化剂用于生物质废弃物的有效气化对于推进氢气的生产至关重要。本研究采用共浸渍法制备了负载于煅烧高岭土上的Ni-Ce双金属催化剂(Ni-Ce/c-Kaolin),并将其应用于棉秆在340–400 °C和16–30 MPa 条件下的超临界水气化。在优化条件下(380 °C,5 min,0.5 g棉秆,0.5 g催化剂),H2产率从1.85 mmol/g 提高到21.82 mmol/g,比表面积从4.74 m²/g增加到26.46 m²/g;引入2.5 wt%的Ce进一步提高了催化活性,H2产率比Ni/c-Kaolin 提高了2.25倍。Ce的加入改变了Ni的还原行为和电子结构;XPS分析表明Ce3+/Ce4+氧化还原循环促进了氧的迁移,而TGA和FT-IR结果表明Ce抑制了积碳,并促进了表面羟基参与反应。不同农作物残渣的气化实验表明,相较于稻草和麦秸,棉秆的气化效率最高(70.1%),H2产率也最高(21.82 mmol/g)。Ni–Ce/c-Kaolin催化剂在循环使用后仍保持了较高的催化活性和结构稳定性。这项工作揭示了农业残渣高价值利用的新途径,同时也证实了高岭土作为传统氧化铝载体的替代材料的潜力。

Profs. Janusz Kozinski and Zhen Fang visited bamboo products and ganoderma enterprises in Taining

参访福建新创艺竹木公司生产车间visiting the workshop of Fujian Xinchuangyi Bamboo and Wood Company

At 9:49 am on August 18, 2025, under a clear sky without a single cloud, Profs. Kozinski and Zhen Fang set off from Nanjing with immense joy, boarding a southbound bullet train to Taining. After transferring in Nanchang, they arrived at Taiping Station at 4:01 pm, where the sky displayed the distinctive clouds (sea of clouds and colorful clouds) of late summer and early autumn in Taining. Upon arrival at the station entrance, they met with Mr. Fangqiu Liao, Vice Chairman of the Taining Municipal Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). Five minutes later, they reached the hotel. After a 15-minute rest, they drove to the county government office to meet with CPPCC Chairman Mr. Qiurong Jiang to discuss the utilization of Taining’s rich bioresources and the development of its tourism industry. Half an hour later, accompanied by Vice Chairman Liao, they visited century-old prestigious schools (the alma mater of Prof. Zhen Fang): Taining Experimental Primary School and Taining No.1 Middle School. On the track field of Taining No.1 Middle School, they happened to encounter several students practicing soccer, and Prof. Kozinski demonstrated his soccer skills to them.

The next morning, accompanied by Mr. Jun Yang, Executive Deputy Director of the County Industrial Park, Ms. Fang Lu, Chairman of the Association for Science and Technology, and Mr. Jun Jiang Department Director of CPPCC, Profs. Kozinski and Zhen Fang visited Fujian Xinchuangyi Bamboo and Wood Technology Co., Ltd., a bamboo product precision processing enterprise that mainly produces bamboo sticks, coffee sticks, disposable environmentally friendly bamboo knives, forks, spoons, and tableware. During the discussion with Mr. Suping He, owner of the company, Profs. Kozinski and Zhen Fang believed that the company’s disposable environmentally friendly bamboo products make a significant contribution to the national green industry economy through bamboo substitution for plastic and local bamboo resource advantages. They hope that the company can make profits and continue to grow and develop. During the discussion, Prof. Kozinski hopes to bring European businessmen to collaborate soon and suggests strengthening cooperation on the recycling of bamboo waste resources.

Afterwards, Profs. Kozinski and Fang visited Fujian Mushroom Hall Biotechnology Co., Ltd. in the park. The company mainly produces food, beverages, health products, and other products, integrating edible mushroom cultivation, production and processing, tourism and sightseeing into a highly integrated primary, secondary, and tertiary industry. During the discussion with General Manager Mr. Gaobang Chen, Prof. Fang believed that the deep processing project of edible and medicinal mushrooms happened to be consistent with the research of research group, such as the existing technology to prevent the re precipitation of Ganoderma hot-water extract. Both parties have signed a cooperation agreement.

Originally from a Catholic and former Papal country, Prof. Kozinski visited Ganlu Temple during the long summer lunch break in a small county town and offered incense and prayers for the economic development of Taining. Subsequently, a visit was made to Gendu Lijia for rural revitalization and construction, and encourage a young overseas returned student from Toronto the owner of Ananbanna Homestay, his dream with come true as a successful entrepreneur in Taining

In the third day, on the morning of August 20, 2025, Profs. Kozinski and Zhen Fang participated in the “Suggestions for the 15th Five Year Plan” interview activity organized by the CPPCC. Local leaders such as Mr. Changping Zhang, Mr. Qiurong Jiang, and Mr. Zhenhua Zhao also attended. Under the questioning by hostess Ms. Miao Yu, Prof. Kozinski gave his views and suggestions on how Taining can become a world tourist destination, and believed that under the leadership of Mr. Zhang, Jiang and Zhao, Taining’s goals will definitely be achieved, and Bodhisattva will bless Taining with continuous progress. Prof. Fang proposed to implement the gold medal education strategy and transform the disadvantage of small population county into an advantage in cultivating elites.

After lunch, Profs. Kozinski and Zhen Fang boarded the high-speed train heading north to Nanjing. At 18:34 in the afternoon, they arrived at Nanjing South Station, and arrived at the hotel and residence at 8:00 pm. When the high-speed train was running within Zhejiang province, the screen displayed a scorching summer temperature of 40 degrees Celsius outdoors, and the train speed reached 350 km/h. Prof. Kozinski excitedly took a picture of the number and sent it to his students and families in Toronto, greatly admiring China’s high-speed rail achievements. Prof. Fang said that the three cities of Montreal, New York, and Toronto are in a triangular relationship with a distance of less than 600 km. If a 350 km high-speed railway is connected to the three cities, it will take less than 2 hours to reach them, greatly serving the people and promoting employment, we don’t know where the money will be used? Prof. Kozinski expressed his agreement, believing that Canada and the United States can learn from China’s successful experience by building high-speed railways between big cities.

Two days later, Prof. Kozinski rushed to Nanjing Lukou Airport early in the morning, hastily embarking on a journey back to Canada to fulfill his dream from over 20 years ago in Montreal. After a flight of over 10 hours (by way of Osaka), successfully arrived in Toronto, where temperature jumped to only 20 degrees Celsius. Prof. Kozinski successfully completed the 2-month work plan in extremely hot Nanjing at Nanjing Agricultural University.

Prof. Janusz A Kozinski, Engineering Dean at Lakehead, a world well-known scientist in renewable energy, is Fellow of Canadian Academy of Engineering and the Board member of the Academy, he severed as Associate Vice-principal of McGill, Founding President, Hereford University of Technology and Engineering (UK), Engineering Dean at U Saskatchewan and York.

Joule heating for carbon material Synthesis: Mechanisms, material evolution, and sustainable prospects

Recently, under the supervision of Associate Professor Wei Chen, master’s student Miss Zijun Pan published a review article titled “Joule heating for carbon material Synthesis: Mechanisms, material evolution, and sustainable prospects” in an international academic journal Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews.

This comprehensive review systematically explores the research progress and application potential of Joule heating as an emerging electrothermal technique for carbon material synthesis. By integrating multiple perspectives—including material synthesis, mechanistic simulation, and sustainability assessment-the article highlights the highly efficient tunability of Joule heating in the preparation of various carbon materials such as graphitic carbon, flash graphene, and carbon nanotubes, and elaborates on heteroatom-doping and metal-loading functionalization strategies. Furthermore, by combining machine learning and multiscale simulations, the study elucidates the structural evolution mechanisms of materials under extreme thermal conditions. Through life-cycle assessment (LCA), it also verifies the remarkable economic and environmental advantages of this technique, providing a theoretical foundation and technological pathway for the green manufacturing of carbon materials.

The results were published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews:

Stainless steel catalyzed pyrolysis of waste oil: Biofuel production, catalyst regeneration and environmental assessment

Recently, Master graduate student Mr. Guo-qiang Zhu (currently a PhD student at City University of Hong Kong) supervised by Associate Prof. Lu-jiang Xu and Prof. Zhen Fang published a research article in Chemical Engineering Journal about stainless steel catalyzed pyrolysis of waste cooking oil.

Valorizing waste cooking oil into biofuels not only achieves renewable green fuels but mitigates waste disposal. Here, we demonstrate a catalytic pyrolysis process using novel regenerable austenitic stainless steel catalysts containing Fe (II) and Fe (III) active phases. Firstly, an activated SS catalyst with austenite Fe and metal oxides showed outstanding deoxygenation performance, directionally promoting the enrichment of alkene. And then, optimal pyrolysis conditions were investigated via response surface methodology and determined as temperature 550 °C, single catalyst layer and feeding rate 3 mL/h. Besides, catalyst exhibited exceptional cyclic stability over 10 consecutive cycles, attributed to its unique coke-mediated regeneration mechanism. Distinguished with active surface sites, the regenerated catalyst recovered the catalytic activity and made coke deposits form carbon nanotube structure where the regeneration mechanism was proposed in terms of experimental results and characteristics of coke and catalyst. Eventually, life cycle assessment was conducted stressing on the reduction of global warming potential and environment impact for whole process and sensitivity of key parameters. Overall, this work provides fundamental insights into coke-catalyst interactions while establishing an industrially viable pathway for sustainable biofuel production.
