Herein, we innovatively crafted a novel CNT/MoS 2 /FeCo-LDH cathode membrane using a facile vacuum filtration method. Benefiting from the unique heterostructure between FeCo-LDH and MoS 2 , the prepared CNT/MoS 2 /FeCo-LDH cathode membranes catalyzed the production of high-concentration H 2 O 2 (7.59 mg/L) at a low current density of 1.50 mA/cm 2 . The peak degradation efficiency of phenol (98.80 %) was reached in only 60 min. Under optimized operating conditions, the phenol removal rate of the CNT/MoS 2 /FeCo-LDH cathode membrane remained above 80.00 % within a wide pH range (3.0–9.0), demonstrating excellent adaptability. The synergistic incorporation of Mo, Fe, and Co ions facilitated additional chemical reaction pathways for Fenton-like reactions, thereby significantly enhancing hydrogen peroxide production. Notably, our approach exhibited moderate total organic carbon degradation efficiency, even for the actual pretreatment of coking wastewater, presenting a promising strategy for addressing recalcitrant industrial wastewater.
As a part of biomimetic gelatinous polymer actuator (BGPA), hydrogel artificial muscle has the advantages of extreme flexibility, low driving voltage and controllable driving direction. However, such artificial muscles do not have self-healing properties and it is difficult to continue using them if they break, which considerably reduces their lifespan. In this paper, we propose a hydrogel artificial muscle with self-healing capability by gluing a membrane of electrodes with a pleated structure to a self-healing actuator layer. The crosslinking reaction between polyacrylic acid molecular chains and carboxylated chitosan (CLC) molecular chains was utilized to fabricat e self-healing actuator layers, while multi-walled carbon nanotubes and chitosan were employed for electrode films. The impact of CLC doping content on the self-healing properties, mechanical properties, electrical response output force properties, and electrochemical properties of self-healing artificial muscles was investigated. Experimental results demonstrated that the output force density of the self-healing artificial muscle could reach 14.7 mN g−1 with an addition of 0.2 g CLC; even after fracture-self-healing, the maximum output force density of the artificial muscle still remained above 90%, and the maximum stretching stress of the actuator film maintained a range from 91% to 99%, showcasing exceptional self-healing performance.
