The volatile compounds in 16 different storage containers and years of Xiangjiao Baijiu (XJBJ) were compared and analyzed via direct injection (DI) combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and headspace extraction (HS) coupled with gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) for the first time. Through HS-GC-IMS analysis, it was found that the succession rules of 14 compounds such as furfural during aging process. A total of 60 compounds were identified using DI-GC–MS. Twenty-five of these compounds were further quantified, and 19 compounds had odor activity values (OAVs) > 1, which were important contributor to aroma of XJBJ. Among them, those with OAVs >1000 included ethyl hexanoate, ethyl octanoate, ethyl butanoate, and ethyl pentanoate. Combining the results of quantitative, OAVs and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) revealed that 10 compounds such as ethyl octanoate were the important compounds that lead to the differences between different storage types of XJBJ.

High gas barrier polyethylene (PE) composites containing non-oxidized graphene flakes (GFs) were fabricated through solution blending. GFs were synthesized through ultrasonic-assisted electrochemical exfoliation of graphite. Then, GFs were functionalized via directly inducing PE molecular crystallization along their surface under proper temperature and PE/GFs ratio. The composites with only 0.5 wt% GFs gave a helium leak rate of 6.29 × 10 −8 Pa m 3 /s at 0.6 MPa, outperforming pure PE with a decrease of 83.4%. In addition, the interface interaction between PE and GFs is very weak, and the cohesive energy is only 0.1448 J m −2 . Therefore, at high GFs concentrations (>0.5 wt%), the continuous weak interfaces between the GFs interconnected networks and PE will reduce the effective diffusion path to a certain extent, leading to the reduction of gas barrier efficiency. In general, this method offers great promise for barrier materials that can be utilized in lightweight high-pressure gas storage vessels.
