The double-coated Si-based composite (nano-Si@carbon@void@graphene sheets) with the excellent electrochemical properties have been successfully designed and prepared via a spray drying method. The composite electrode at 0.1 A g −1 presents a high initial discharge/charge capacity of 2744.9/2389.8 mAh g −1 , representing high initial coloumbic efficiency of 87.1%. After 200 cycles, a high charge capacity of 1325.2 mAh g −1 is obtained. Even at 0.8 A g −1 and 1.6 A g −1 , the composite electrode still maintain high capacities of 1466.1 mAh g −1 and 561.5 mAh g −1 , respectively. The enhanced performance is mainly attributed to the double-coated structure with void space resulting from the carbon layer and wrinkled graphene sheets . The three-dimensional network structure from carbon shell and graphene is capable of improving the electrical conductivity of the composite, buffering the significant volume expansion due to the intercalation and deintercalation of lithium-ions on the Si-based electrode, providing accommodation space for the volume changes and diffusion paths for lithium-ions. Furthermore, the part amorphous structure derived from the nano-silicon exhibits a cushioning effect on the electrode structure during the discharge/charge process of lithium-ion batteries.

The compatibility between polypyrrole (PPy) and waterborne epoxy coating (EP) remains the main challenge. Here, phosphorylated poly (vinyl alcohol) (PPVA) and p-toluene sulfonic acid sodium (p-TSA) were simultaneously utilized as dopants to modify PPy and prepare water dispersible PPVA/p-TSA/PPy (PPVAT/PPy) solution. Additionally, poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and TSA were also adopted to prepare PVA/p-TSA/PPy (PVAT/PPy) for comparison. Denser film with granular morphology was observed for PPVAT/PPy nanocomposite film. Compared with PVAT/PPy-40 %, the tensile strength of PPVAT-8.0 %/PPy-40 % increased from 248.8–283.9 MPa. PPVAT/PPy displayed higher compatibility and interactions with EP compared to PPy-TSA and PVAT/PPy. Compared with EP, the impedance modulus of PVAT/PPy+EP and PPVAT/PPy+EP increased from 3.17×10 5 to 1.07×10 8 and 1.62×10 9 Ω·cm 2 ; corrosion current density I corr decreased from 1.49×10 −6 to 7.72×10 -8 and 4.01×10 -9 A·cm -2 ; corrosion potential E corr displayed a positive shift of 230 mV and 269 mV, respectively. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of PPVAT/PPy+EP reached 99.83 %, which is much higher than that of PVAT/PPy+EP (93.97 %). PPVAT/PPy+EP nanocomposite coating has been proved to have preferable long-term corrosion resistance based on electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS), polarization curves and salt water spray test. The simultaneous incorporation of phosphate anions, sulfate ions and PPy into EP was beneficial to fabricate high-performance anticorrosion coating.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have received increasing attention due to their unprecedented potential for energy-efficient gas separation. Compared with other MOF materials (like ZIF), fabrication and microstructural manipulation of high-performance Ti-MOF-based membranes, although being very attractive due to their excellent chemical and thermal stability, remained relatively less investigated due to the limitations of available titanium sources and heating modes. In this study, different Ti sources (TPOT, TiS 2 , and MXene) and heating modes (conventional heating, multi-mode microwave heating, and single-mode microwave heating) were examined for the preparation of NH 2 -MIL-125 membranes showing diverse microstructures and gas separation performances. The present work revealed that for the first time, MXene , the new two-dimensional Ti carbide , could be used as Ti source for synthesizing MOF membranes. The best performing NH 2 -MIL-125 membranes, which were obtained with TiS 2 as the metal source under single-mode microwave heating, exhibited the highest H 2 /CO 2 selectivity (ca. 17.2) as well as considerable H 2 permeance (1.7 × 10 −7 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 ), owing to an enhanced non-thermal effect of single-mode microwave heating and balanced dissolution rate of TiS 2 .

The lithium dendrite problem of Li 7 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO) solid electrolyte restricts the practical application and development of all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). Herein, a LiPON interlayer with Li + conductive and electron non-conductive dynamic properties is constructed at the Li/LLZTO interface. Results show that the electronic conductivity of solid electrolyte after LiPON modification decreased by nearly three orders of magnitude, indicating that it has good ability to hinder electron conduction . The interlayer enhances the wettability between the Li metal anode and LLZTO, resulting in a decrease of battery resistance from 3400 Ω to 700 Ω. The critical current density of the ASSLBs increase from 0.1 mA cm −2 to 1.2 mA cm −2 at room temperature, and the battery cycle number increase from 31 h to over 1000 h. XPS deep etching results show that the LiPON/LLZTO interface has good electrochemical stability. The Kelvin probe force microscope displays a sharp increase in potential within the LiPON interlayer, indicating its successful hindrance of electron conduction to the solid electrolyte. The effective inhibition of lithium dendrites growth is due to LiPON can promote the Li + transmission from LLZTO solid electrolyte to Li anode, and also hinder the electron conduction to LLZTO to form lithium dendrites.

The lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery holds great promising for the next-generation energy storage system due to its high theoretical specific capacity and energy density . However, the poor conductivity of sulfur species and the “shuttle effect” of polysulfides (PSs) severely limit the practical application of Li–S battery. Here, a large-scaled covalent triazine framework/multiwall carbon nanotube (CTF/MWCNT) hybrid used as a multi-functional separator modifier combining strong PSs-anchor ability of CTF with high electrical conductivity of MWCNT was proposed. The ordered porous structure and large specific surface area of CTF make it good physical trap ability for PSs shuttle, and the abundant pyridinic nitrogen groups of CTF render it effectively adsorb PSs by chemical sorption , while the high electrical conductivity of MWCNT can facilitate electron transfer . As it turns out that the multi-functional separator applied in Li–S battery shows significant enhancements in the utilization of sulfur, specific capacity, Columbic efficiency, rate capability (982 mAh g −1 at 2 C) and cycling stability (0.045% specific capacity loss per cycle at 1 C along 1000 cycles) as well as suppression of self-discharge and Li dendrite growth. Furthermore, it is practicable to incorporate the slurry cast multi-functional layer onto the commercial separator, which provides ideas for constructing advanced multi-functional separators for commercially viable Li–S battery.

Electrogenerated chemical polishing (EGCP) had been proved effective in improving both the smoothness and the flatness of copper surface in our previous work. In this paper the polishing ability, defined as the ratio between the material removal rate at the peak and at the valley of a rough surface, is studied theoretically and experimentally. In a mathematical model, the effects of the special wavelength L , the peak-to-valley height h of the workpiece surface profile and the working distance d between working electrode and workpiece surface on the polishing ability are studied. The results show that the polishing ability decreases with increasing the working distance and finally approaches the value ( d + h )/ d , if L is much larger than d . However, the effect of the working distance on polishing ability is negligible, if L is close to or less than d . The polishing ability also decreases with h decreasing. Based on the above analysis, an analytical expression of the polishing ability of EGCP is given. For validating the theoretical analysis, a copper surface is polished by EGCP and the change of the surface profile is measured and analyzed using the analytical expression. The measured polishing ability agrees well with the simulation results.

The use of garnet-type conductors as electrolytes for safe lithium solid-state batteries is impeded by the lack of critical processing strategy to stabilize and densify the cubic lithium garnets. The synthesis and processing of dense cubic lithium garnets are typically depending on solid state reaction as a result of unintentional Al contamination from the alumina crucibles at temperatures up to 1230 °C. High Al concentration is also believed to induce the sluggish migration of lithium ions . Here, we demonstrate an ultrathin, conformal γ-Al 2 O 3 surface coating on garnet solids by a hybrid microemulsion solid-state method for accomplishing rational and controllable synthesis and processing of dense cubic garnets with low Al concentration. The γ-Al 2 O 3 coating demonstrates fast-ion conducting Al-doped Li 6.75 La 3 Zr 1.75 Ta 0.25 O 12 phase with low Al concentration (~0.17 mol per formula unit), low tetragonal-to-cubic phase transformation temperature of 500 °C, and total conductivity of ~4.4 × 10 − 4 S cm − 1 . Specifically, the desired microstructures of the sintered pellets with uniform grains are revealed. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate that the nanoscale γ-Al 2 O 3 modification garnet conductor Li 6.75 La 3 Zr 1.75 Ta 0.25 O 12 is available to suppress lithium dendrites in symmetric Li/γ-Al 2 O 3 coating Li 6.75 La 3 Zr 1.75 Ta 0.25 O 12 /Li cells during lithium plating/stripping at room temperature, with current densities of 0.026 to 0.5 mA cm − 2 . The Li/γ-Al 2 O 3 coating Li 6.75 La 3 Zr 1.75 Ta 0.25 O 12 /LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 cell delivered a high initial discharge capacity of ~164.2 mAh g − 1 , more importantly, an outstanding cycling performance with a capacity retention of 90.16% after 30 cycles at 0.1C and room temperature. This new synthesis route and the utilization of nanoscale γ-Al 2 O 3 surface modification could open up new avenue to lithium garnet conductors with reliable synthesis for all-solid-state lithium batteries application.

Chemically integrated hybrid quantum dots ZnCo 2 O 4 /reduced graphene oxide (QDs ZCO/rGO) sheets nanocomposites are synthesized through polyol processes. rGO sheets grow and interweave to form basic skeletons. Ultrafine ZCO particles with a size of around 3.66 nm grow and embed on both sides of the rGO sheets, and the rGO sheets restrain the reunion of ZCO nanoparticles . The existence of rGO sheets and ZCO nanoparticles can engender the mutual synergistic effects so that hybrid QDs ZCO/rGO electrodes exhibit the excellent electrochemical properties . Owing to this special nanoparticles-on-sheets structure, the hybrid QDs ZCO/rGO electrodes exhibit an excellent initial discharge capacity for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (1325.9 mAh g −1 at the current density of 200 mA g −1 ), high rate stability (532.3/566.1 mAh g −1 at 4000 mA g −1 ) and outstanding electrochemical cyclic stability (657.6/668.2 mAh g −1 at 2000 mA g −1 after 2000 cycles with a capacity retention of 68.6%). For full-cells, high initial reversible discharging capacity (646 mAh g −1 at 200 mA g −1 ) and good cyclic stability (514 mAh g −1 at 200 mA g −1 after 100 cycles) are obtained. The superior performance of the as-prepared electrodes is ascribed to the advantage of nano-sized particles. With the successful synthesis of hybrid QDs ZCO/rGO nanocomposites, the facile synthetic route and unique growth of nanostructuring method can be extended to high electrochemical performance electrodes for commercial lithium-ion batteries.

Batch adsorption experiments were applied to evaluate the optimized conditions of adsorption. The results indicated that the TI-GO can reach equilibrium adsorption in 30 min and get maximum adsorption capacity at 293 K, pH 5.0. Besides, the adsorption kinetic and adsorption isotherm research indicated that the adsorption of TI-GO fit pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. In addition, the maximum adsorption capacity evaluated by Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation is 1478 mg/g.

Porous Al doped ZnO (AZO) nanosheets have been prepared as an efficient multifunctional water treatment material. Their fundamental properties were characterized by various spectroscopic testing methods. The AZO nanosheets displayed very rapid adsorption rate and high adsorption capacity for methyl orange (MO) dye. The kinetics and equilibrium of adsorption process were found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, respectively. Furthermore, the AZO nanosheets exhibited superior photodecolorizative activity compared with the commercial P25 TiO2 nanoparticles. It was found that Al doping increased the zeta potential of AZO nanosheets and then significantly enhanced the adsorption capacity for MO dye and, at the same time, retarded the recombination of photoexcited electron–hole pairs, and prolonged the lifetime of the photo-generated carriers, and then improved the semiconductor photocatalytic activity. In addition, the visible-light-driven dye photosensitized degradation was also an important reason for enhanced photodecolorizative activity. Therefore, AZO nanosheets are a potential multifunctional water treatment material combining highly efficient adsorption and photocatalytic degradation.
