An article for joule heating is described, including a three-dimensional substrate on and/or in which a pyrolyzate of a phenolic resin or polymer forms an electrically conductive carbon network. Such articles may be incorporated in structured materials applications, which may include support, sorbent, and or catalyst components. Also described are methods of fabricating such articles and structured materials, and apparatus comprising same, and methods of use of such articles and structured materials and apparatus for conducting material transformation processes requiring input of heat for their performance, such as CO2 adsorption, methane pyrolysis for hydrogen and carbon production, hydrogen-assisted conversion of CO2 to hydrocarbons, including catalytic conversion of CO2 to olefins, catalytic conversion of CO2 to propane (liquefied petroleum gas), and catalytic conversion of CO2 to renewable natural gas, reverse water gas shift reaction, steam ethane cracking, propane cracking, steam methane reforming, and dry methane reforming.
A joule heating structure, comprising a three-dimensional substrate having an electrically conductive carbon network coated on a surface of the substrate, wherein the electrically conductive carbon network has a G/D Raman spectral intensity ratio in a range of from 1 to 6, and a resistivity in a range of from 0.8 Ω-m to 300 Ω-m.
A joule heating structured material assembly, comprising a porous monolith channelized with a multiplicity of substantially aligned channels extending therethrough to open ends at opposite faces of the porous monolith, wherein each channel is bounded by channel walls defining interior wall surfaces of the channel, wherein the channel walls have an electrically conductive carbon network coated on said interior wall surfaces, and wherein the electrically conductive carbon network has a G/D Raman spectral intensity ratio in a range of from 1 to 6, and a resistivity in a range of from 0.8 Ω-m to 300 Ω-m.
An apparatus for conducting a heat-mediated transformation of a material, comprising a vessel having an inlet to receive the material in an interior volume of the vessel, and an outlet for discharging a product of the heat-mediated transformation of the material, and a joule heating structure disposed in the interior volume of the vessel, the joule heating structure comprising a three-dimensional substrate having an electrically conductive carbon network coated on a surface of the substrate, wherein the electrically conductive carbon network has a G/D Raman spectral intensity ratio in a range of from 1 to 6, and a resistivity in a range of from 0.8 Ω-m to 300 Ω-m, and is arranged to provide joule heat for the heat-mediated transformation of the material upon flow of electrical current through the electrically conductive carbon network.
A process for carrying out a heat-mediated transformation of a material, comprising:
