Polypyrrole deposited on titanium mesh (PPy–TiM) was fabricated via a galvanostatic method with titanium mesh as the substrate to electrochemically deposit polypyrrole (PPy) doped with p -toluene sulfonate anions. The influence of the deposition time on the characteristics of the PPy–TiM samples was investigated. Then, semitransparent flexible electrochemical capacitors were assembled with the optimal samples of PPy–TiM as electrodes and H 3 PO 4 –poly(vinyl alcohol) as the gel electrolyte. The testing results show that PPy in the optimal PPy–TiM electrode had a specific capacitance of about 326 F/g, and the capacitance of the assembled cells still remained unchanged or up even after 20,000 cycles. Just as expected, the cells possessed semitransparent and good flexibility, and three cells connected in series could drive an LED device. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2017

Methyl mercaptan (MM) is one kind of volatile sulfur compound (VSC) with odor and properties (inflammable, highly toxic, and corrosive) similar to H2S; therefore, the highly sensitive and selective monitoring of ambient MM by chemiresistors is strongly essential, but it remains a challenge owing to its relatively weak reducibility/response in comparison with H2S. In this study, a novel chemiresistor composed of hexahedral particles SBO-loaded CdS nanoparticles has been prepared via a facile chemical precipitation method for the super-sensitive and highly-selective recognition of MM. The heterostructural CdS/SBO (0.05%) chemiresistor exhibited an extremely high response (114.7) to 100 ppm MM at a relatively low operating temperature (100 °C) and was about 36- and 9-fold higher than pure SBO and CdS chemiresistor, respectively. Various characterizations suggested that the sulfurization–desulfurization reaction, the abundant oxygen vacancies, and the generation of n–n heterojunctions at the interface promote the redox reaction of surface-active substances, thereby, boosting the outstanding MM response characteristics. In addition, the heterostructural chemiresistor possesses good selectivity, weak humidity interference, a lower limit of detection (LoD) of 82 ppb, and long-term stability (∼6% decline of response after 120 days), which promises practical applications in air quality (odor) monitoring.

Clay minerals, naturally occurring two-dimensional layered nanomaterials, hold significant interest in electrochemical energy storage. However, their practical use is hindered by the pronounced stacking and aggregation of layers. Here, we selected eight clay minerals of kaolinite, halloysite, montmorillonite, vermiculite, palygorskite, sepiolite, talc and chlorite, employed a simple chemical water bath method to insert diamine molecules with different chain lengths between the layers of these minerals. This approach aimed to prevent stacking and aggregation while allowing controlled expansion of the layer spacing. Subsequently, the montmorillonite (M) with relatively high specific capacitance were selected for further discussion. X-ray diffraction results show that the layer spacings of diamine ( x DM, x = 2–6) modified montmorillonite (M/ x DM) could be optimized within 1.189 nm and 1.455 nm, of which the butanediamine (4DM) pillared montmorillonite composites (M/4DM) exhibited the most suitable layer spacing of 1.362 nm for efficient Na 2 SO 4 ion transportation. Additionally, the CeO 2 loaded montmorillonite (CeO 2 -M) composites were further prepared by the same method to obtain diamine pillared CeO 2 loaded montmorillonite (CeO 2 -M/ x DM). The specific capacitance of CeO 2 loaded and butanediamine pillared montmorillonite composites (CeO 2 -M/4DM) was 573.9 F g −1 , which was 33.9% higher than the counterpart without modification (CeO 2 -M). The assembled supercapacitor CeO 2 -M/4DM//AC exhibited almost no loss in capacitance after 10,000 cycles.

To improve the performance of electrochemical capacitors, there is a notable focus on carbon materials characterized by a large surface area, reasonable pore size, pore size distribution, appropriate electronic conductivity, and excellent chemical durability. Herein, the hierarchical porous carbon aerogel originating from sodium alginate (SA) with well-defined porosity are proposed. The resultant hierarchical porous carbon aerogel shows a substantial specific surface area of 2050.6 m2g−1with macropores, mesopores and micropores confirmed by techniques such as TEM, SEM, BET, etc., resulting from a sequence of aerogel formation-carbonization-activation. By electrochemical measurement, the hierarchical porous carbon aerogel exhibits a specific capacitance of 204 F g−1at an operating current density of 0.2 A g−1employing 6 M KOH aqueous solution. The hierarchical carbon aerogel displays outstanding cycling stability with a 96.2% capacity maintenance for 10,000 cycles at an operating current density of 1 A g−1.

Photochemical devices show great potential in applications ranging from electrical energy storage to future smart grids. Here, we report a metal-free composite film cell based on carbon dots (CDots) and polyaniline (PANI), which could achieve 24/7 discharge and photo-charging in seawater. CDots/PANI film cell has an open-circuit-voltage (OCV) of 0.95 V, a maximum power density of 380 mW m 2 , and the ability to discharge continuously for 40 h under solar irradiation of AM 1.5 G. It couples the reduction reaction of PANI, and the CDot-catalyzed oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) during discharge. While the light-induced CDot-catalyzed oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the reduction reaction of PANI during charging. In particular, in-situ TPV tests were used to verify the effect of the light-induced OER and the kinetic properties of the catalyst on the charge transfer at the interface. We believe this research may provide new ideas for sustainable energy conversion and storage.

As 3rd generation semiconductor, GaN material is promising for biosensor application, owing to its excellent chemical stability and high carrier mobility. Herein, GaN porous-layer (GNP) was self-assembly grown on GaN-coated sapphire substrate without doping by using simple low-temperature (LT) growth. The GNP with a pore density as high as ∼2.1 × 10 3 μm −2 can be realized by optimizing the growth temperature (620 °C) and layer thickness (22.4 nm), and its normalized conductivity can be tuned by simply changing the thickness. The optimized GNP was applied to chemiresistive detection of Cu 2+ with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 8 fM, a fast response speed of 1.5 min, a wide linear range (8 fM∼8 nM) and good repeatability. The LOD was improved 1.25∼10 6 fold compared with that of previously reported biosensor. The GNP biosensor features high sensitivity, simple structure, integratability, and low-cost. To our knowledge, it is the first time that GaN material was used for chemiresistive biosensor.

In this study, we developed a low-cost, reusable, and highly sensitive analytical platform for the detection of the human metabolite uric acid (UA). This novel analysis platform combines the graphene chemoresistor detection technique with a magnetic bead (MB) system. The heterojunction (single-layer graphene and HfO2thin-film material) of our graphene-based biosensor worked as a transducer to detect the pH change caused by the specific catalytic reaction between UA and uricase, and hence acquires a UA concentration. Immobilization of uricase on MBs can decouple the functionalization steps from the sensor surface, which allows the sensor to be reusable. Our microsensor platform exhibits a relatively lower detection limit (1 μM), high sensitivity (5.6 mV/decade), a linear range (from 1 μM to 1000 μM), and excellent linearity (R2= 0.9945). In addition, interference assay and repeatability tests were conducted, and the result suggests that our method is highly stable and not affected by common interfering substances (glucose and urea). The integration of this high-performance and compact biosensor device can create a point-of-care diagnosis system with reduced cost, test time, and reagent volume.Keywords:graphene;pH detection;uric acid detection;magnetic beads;chemoresistor

Porous carbons with high specific surface area are critical engineering materials for current electrochemical capacitors (ECs) technology. Controlling the pore size distribution of porous carbons remains a significant challenge as it is a key aspect in many applications. Herein, we synthesized porous carbon as the electrode material of ECs by means of a two-step synthesis procedure using abandoned feathers as carbon precursor and potassium hydroxide as activating agent. The optimal sample (AFHPC-800–1:3) exhibited an ultra-high specific surface area ( S BET ) of 3474 m 2 /g and a huge total pore volume ( V T ) of 1.82 m 3 g −1 as well as abundant small mesopores ranging from 2 to 5 nm in size. The ECs based on the AFHPC-800–1:3 electrode exhibited an ultra-high specific capacitance ( C sp ) of up to 709F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 . More interestingly, a capacitance of 212F g −1 was retained even at 100 A g −1 , demonstrating excellent high-rate capacitive performance. Furthermore, the symmetrical capacitor yielded an excellent energy density of 35.1 Wh kg −1 when the specific power density was 625 W kg −1 , substantiating the potential of the small mesopores in promoting the overall capacitance and energy density of electrode materials.

Electrochemical cell can overcome the inherent intermittence of the renewable energy sources, thus showing great potentials in applications ranging from electrical energy storage to future smart grid. However, the current electrochemical cells could not achieve the “total green” feature by fully utilizing the clean and abundant O 2 /H 2 O redox couples due to the enormous overpotentials for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen release reaction (OER). Herein, we report a “total green” electrochemical composite film cell based on carbon dots (CDots), which can realize both ORR and OER in the acid environment. The in-air voltage generation (0.95 V, with a maximum power of 5.3 μW) relies on the multiple-electron-transfer redox chemical reaction between the two active components inside the composite film, that is, ORR/OER of CDots and the redox reaction of polyaniline (PANI) on the electrode and the resulting proton concentration gradient. Interestingly, the cell can be self-recovered at low load, recharged by adding H 2 O 2 , or electrocharged at high load. We anticipate that current study may open up new opportunities for designing and developing total-green energy storage and conversion systems for diverse applications.

As a 2D material, Ti 3 C 2 (MXene) has been recently used as electrodes for electrochemical capacitors. Herein, a two-step procedure is used to obtain a highly opened layer structure for Ti 3 C 2 , which differs from the methods used in the literature for synthesizing exfoliated MXene. First, the mild NH 4 HF 2 etching agent is used to prepare the regular Ti 3 C 2 MXene. Second, KOH is added into the obtained solution for K + to intercalate the MXene. The K + intercalation is found to greatly increase the (002) crystal planar spacing of the Ti 3 C 2 from 10.8 to 12.4 Å. More importantly, this K + -intercalated MXene exhibits a highly opened layer structure, whereas the regular MXene only has a partially opened layer structure. Consequently, the former is expected to allow much more active sites exposed to liquid electrolyte, and also facilitates remarkably higher ion and electron transport efficiency. To investigate their electrochemical capacitance properties, the regular and K + -intercalated Ti 3 C 2 MXenes are used to fabricate binder-free electrodes on nickel foams by an electrophoretic deposition method. The K + -intercalated MXene-based electrode is found to have twice higher specific capacitance than the regular MXene. Furthermore, the K + -intercalated Ti 3 C 2 MXene-based electrode exhibits an excellent cyclic stability.

The boron-doped α-Ni(OH) 2 nanoflowers (B-α-Ni(OH) 2 ) with high specific surface area (400 m 2 g −1 ) were synthesized by the one pot liquid-phase method using P123 (EO 20 PO 70 EO 20 ) as template and NaBH 4 as alkali and boron sources. The size of the B-α-Ni(OH) 2 nanoflowers is about 300 nm and there are many porous. The 50 nm nanoplates are the basic structure units of nanoflowers and thickness of the nanosheets is approximately 5 nm. The content of B is about 15% among the Ni, B, O elements and boron exists mainly in the form of BO 2 − , which was confirmed by XPS characterization. B-α-Ni(OH) 2 nanoflowers exhibit a high specific capacitance of ~2296 F g −1 at a charge and discharge current density of 3 A g −1 with excellent cycling ability. The high specific capacitance and remarkable rate capability are promising for applications of B-α-Ni(OH) 2 nanostructures as advanced electrochemical capacitor materials with both high energy and cycling ability.

In this work, a microfluidic all-vanadium photoelectrochemical cell (μVPEC) was designed for the solar energy storage. The miniaturization design could enhance the photon and mass transport, reduce the internal cell resistance, and improve the uniformity of the light distribution. Because of these advantages, the developed μVPEC was able to yield good performance. Experimental results indicated that the developed μVPEC showed good photoresponse and operation stability. Besides, its performance was also evaluated under various operating conditions, including the membrane thickness, the light intensity and the vanadium ion concentrations. It was shown that although the vanadium ion permeation was small with thicker membrane, the increased proton transfer resistance decreased the photocurrent density. The increase of the light intensity could produce more photo-generated electron-hole pairs, which could improve the photoelectrochemical reaction rate and the conversion rate. It was also found that the photocurrent density was increased with the vanadium ion concentration as a result of the enhanced mass transfer. The results obtained in this work reveal that the developed all-vanadium photoelectrochemical cell shows the promising potential for the solar energy storage.
