For the control of pulverized coal, we propose a dust suppressant by applying a blend of mixed polyethylene oxide (g-PEO) and sodium dodecyl sulfate ( SDS ). In our experimental study, the thermal characteristics, critical micelle concentration ( CMC ), wettability and adhesion of the dust suppressant are investigated. It was found that g-PEO had a low fusing temperature and its combustion temperature was close to that of coal, thus, the solution containing g-PEO applied coal dust control did not affect the use of the coal. Based on steady-state fluorescence using pyrene as a fluorescent label, quantitative analysis revealed that the CMC s of g-PEO and SDS were 1 and 20 g/L in g-PEO& SDS solution, respectively. The solution containing SDS had the best wettability, but it only had a short-term effect. The solution containing g-PEO showed negligible wetting ability to wet coal dust. The solution containing g-PEO& SDS had better wetting ability and adhesion. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the coal dust covered by g-PEO& SDS on its surface could form a thin layer of armor by holding the particles together after air-drying. It was concluded that the g-PEO& SDS solution containing g-PEO for 1 g/L and SDS for 20 g/L could suppress coal dust and maintain a long-term effect.

Polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes are regarded as promising electrolyte materials because of their safety and flexibility. However, low ionic conductivity at ambient temperature and poor mechanical properties have been a hindrance to its development. In this work, we thermally compressed the PEO-based electrolytes and explored the ionic conductivity, mechanical performance, free volume, and thermal properties of the electrolyte under different thermal pre-compressing strains (TPC-strains). The results show that TPC-strain can significantly improve the ionic conductivity, in-plane strength, stiffness, and cell specific capacity as well as the mechanical integrity of solid polymer electrolytes within the battery environment. However, it also results in a reduction in the modulus and stiffness of the SPEs in the through-plane. In particular, applying a TPC-strain of 10%–20% to the SPEs by thermal compressing may be a suitable option, which can increase the ionic conductivity of the through-plane to a factor of 3.4 compared with the uncompressed electrolyte, and increase the in-plane strength by up to 141%, resulting in better mechanical integrity during charging/discharging processes. At the same time, the compression modulus can be maintained at 80% or higher.

A foam sol clay (FSC) mixture, mainly composed of fly ash (FA), surfactant ( n -amylamine) and polyethylene oxide (PEO), was proposed for coal dust control. The FA surface, modified by a FSC solution, stability and foamability were investigated. It was found that the FA surface in alkaline solution was deprotonated to form a negative charge, which could be adsorbed by the polar head group of n -amylamine via electrostatic interactions . As a result, with increasing surfactant, the particles gradually converted from hydrophilic to hydrophobic and attached at gas-liquid interfaces so that the contact angle, zeta potential , froth stability and foamability increased. At a surfactant concentration (c a ) of 35 g/L, a monolayer three-dimensional network was formed and the maximum foamability and half-life were obtained. Upon further increasing c a , a bilayer and particle clusters were formed by surfactant chain-chain interaction, resulting in particles becoming hydrophilic again, and the FSC solution having stronger mechanical resistance against flowing, so that the viscosity rapidly increased and the diffusion of free surfactant molecules was hindered at the froth surfaces. Thus, the contact angle, froth stability and foamability decreased. PEO could bond sodium dodecyl sulfate and water to form a dual adsorption layer and hydrogen, respectively, which enhanced the wettability of the FSC on coal dust surfaces. PEO could adsorb and curl FA particles to form a thin layer of armor after froth air-drying. It was concluded that the froth generated by the FSC solution, including 200 g/L FA, 35 g/L c a and 1 g/L PEO, could control coal dust with a long-term effect.

Solid-state electrolytes with high ionic conductivity , large electrochemical window, good mechanical properties , and easy processability are needed for high-energy solid-state lithium batteries . In this work, composite membranes consisting of lithium garnet (i.e. Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 , LLZTO) particles and Li-salt-free polyethylene oxides (PEOs) are produced as solid-state electrolytes. Li-ion-conducting particles in nano-scale are crucial for the enhancement of conductivity and the membranes containing ~40 nm LLZTO particles exhibit conductivities nearly two orders of magnitude larger than those with the micro-scale ones, which is attributed to the difference in specific surface area related to the percolation effect. Compared to the conventional PEO doped with lithium salt, the insulating PEO in PEO:LLZTO membrane electrolyte is conducive to the suppression of lithium dendrite growth owing to prohibition of current flow. With PEO:LLZTO membrane electrolytes in conductivity of 2.1×10 −4 S cm −1 at 30 °C and 5.6×10 −4 S cm −1 at 60 °C, the solid-state LiFePO 4 /PEO:LLZTO/Li and LiFe 0.15 Mn 0.85 PO 4 /PEO:LLZTO/Li cells deliver energy densities of 345 Wh kg −1 (662 Wh L −1 ) and 405 Wh kg −1 (700 Wh L −1 ) (without the package weight or volume) with good rate capability and cycling performance. This study suggests that the conjunction of nano-scale Li-ion-conducting particles and an insulating polymer provides a promising solution to produce powerful solid-state electrolytes for high-performance solid-state lithium batteries .

In order to improve the electrochemical performance and efficiently prepare a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) for the lithium-metal battery (LMB), a fumed SiO2 (FS) with surface Si–OH group was used to fabricate FS-modified poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)–LiClO4-based SPE by a facile preparation process. The influences of the FS content on the morphological properties, thermal properties, lithium salt dissociation, mechanical properties, and electrochemical properties of SPE were systematically analyzed. Results indicate that FS with the hydrophilic property was widely distributed throughout the amorphous phase of SPE, thus the crystallinity of SPE was reduced to 25.83% when the FS mass loading was 6.85 wt%. In addition, a greater dissociation degree of lithium salt was achieved after the addition of FS, and a higher ion conductivity of 3.03 × 10−4 S cm−1 and Li-ion migration number of 0.396 were recorded at 60 °C. The all-solid-state Li/SPE/Li coin cell showed excellent stable cyclability (380 h) and the LiFePO4 (LFP)/SPE/Li coin cell demonstrated good discharge specific capacity and coulomb efficiency of 96 mA h g−1 and 100.2%, respectively, after 100 cycles of galvanostatic charge–discharge operation under 0.5C at 60 °C. Thus, based on collective results, it is expected that SPE presented in this work is a promising electrolyte for next-generation high-energy all-solid-state LMB with enhanced safety.

The poly(ethylene oxide) based composite solid electrolyte(PEO-CSE) is an effective solution for developing high-performance solid-state lithium battery . However, the poly(ethlene oxide)(PEO) based solid-state lithium battery using 4.0 V cathode suffers from severe interfacial instability problems. In this work, we add additive lithium difluorophosphate(LiPO 2 F 2 ) into the PEO-CSE to form a stable and low resistance interphase at the cathode/electrolyte interface during charge/discharge process. The electrochemical stability window of PEO-CSE increases to ∼5.0 V. Besides, the electrochemical performance of PEO based solid-state lithium battery with LiCoO 2 as cathode is excellent. The discharge capacity of LiCoO 2 /Li cell with LiPO 2 F 2 reaches 108.5 mAh g −1 at 1.0C. In contrast, the discharge capacity that without LiPO 2 F 2 is only 60.0 mAh g −1 . Meanwhile, the PEO-CSE with LiPO 2 F 2 cell delivers stable cycle performance at 4.2 V. The capacity retention maintains 88.5% compared with 16.1%(without LiPO 2 F 2 ) after 100 cycles. Furthermore, it's still maintains 83.3% after 150 cycles. In addition, the cathode/electrolyte interface is analyzed by transmission electron microscope(TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). Galvanostatic intermittent titration test(GITT) is used to analyze the dynamic diffusion performance. This strategy provides a simple and effective way to improve the high voltage stability of the cathode/electrolyte interface.

Three types of inorganic electrolytes [Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 (LGPS), 75Li 2 S·24P 2 S 5 ·1P 2 O 5 (LPOS), Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP)] with different particle sizes and electrochemical properties are selected as active fillers incorporated into poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix to fabricate hybrid solid electrolytes. The optimum composition of each filler is found in consideration of ionic conductivity. Their electrochemical characteristics are investigated. The optimal conductivities are 1.60 × 10 −5 , 1.18 × 10 −5 , and 2.12 × 10 −5 S cm −1 at room temperature for PEO-1%LGPS, PEO-1%LPOS, and PEO-20%LAGP, respectively. The electrochemical stability windows of these hybrid solid electrolytes are all above 5 V (vs. Li + /Li). The results show that these fillers have positive effects on the ionic conductivity, lithium ion transference number, and electrochemical stability. The relationship between the type of filler and electrochemical properties has been investigated. All-solid-state cells LiFePO 4 /Li are fabricated and present fascinating electrochemical performance with high capacity retention and good cycling stability. This work provides promising electrolytes prepared by a simple method.

We prepare the mesoporous polythiophene–WO 3 film through in situ polymerization which is initiated by WO 3 , and fabricate the electrochromic device with the composite film. The influences of the electrolyte ions, film morphologies and counter electrode on the electrochromism of the devices are explored by UV–Vis transmittance spectra and cyclic voltammetry tests. With the aim to enhance the contrast optical transmittance, we develop the binary composite electrolytes of LiClO 4 and N(C 4 H 9 ) 4 ClO 4 solution which can promote intercalation/deintercalation process. Besides that, we use polyethylene oxide as pore-forming agent on the polythiophene–WO 3 films, so that it will be easier for electrolyte ions to diffuse in the porous film. A NiO layer also has a complementary effect on the cathodic coloration films and increases the contrast optical transmittance remarkably. Equipped with the binary electrolyte and the NiO layer as the counter electrode, the film device exhibits high performance with the contrast optical transmittance (ΔT) of 62 % and the coloration efficiency of 212.6 cm 2 /C.

Novel green-emitting fluorescent microspheres (GreFMPs) were assembled by loading highly luminescent gold nanoclusters (Arg/ATT/AuNCs) on dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs) via PEI-mediated electrostatic adsorption. The fluorescence microspheres exhibit excellent monodispersion with average diameters about (254.5 ± 34.6 nm). Compared with free Arg/ATT/AuNCs, the GreFMPs have similar fluorescent properties and biocompatibility but superior environmental tolerance. Subsequently, an immunochromatographic assay based on GreFMPs (GreFMP-ICA) has been successfully developed, which is highly selective toward alpha fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum. Under the optimal parameters, there is a good linear range between 0.5 and 160.0 ng/mL, the limit of detection was found to be about 0.5 ng/mL, and the recovery and relative standard deviation are 81.0 ~ 100.6% and 3.5 ~ 16.6%, respectively. These results manifested that the GreFMPs are beneficial for the rational design of the ICA platform, and the proposed GreFMP-ICA has the potential to screen AFP in clinical applications. Graphical

This study presents a dual-carbon modified LiMn0.6Fe0.4PO4 cathode (LMFP/SWNT/C) through the combined integration of amorphous carbon and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The composite was synthesized via a solvothermal approach followed by carbonization, forming a homogeneous conductive network with enhanced graphitization (IG/ID ratio = 3.24–4.24 versus 0.98–0.99 for LMFP/C). Electrochemical characterization revealed superior performance, including a high discharge capacity of 160.8 mAh g−1 at 0.1C and excellent cycling stability (124.9 mAh g−1 with 92.6% capacity retention after 280 cycles at 1C). In-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) coupled with distribution of relaxation times (DRT) analysis indicated that the addition of SWNTs could improve the electronic conductivity. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of hybrid carbon architectures for optimizing LMFP cathode materials.

To overcome the critical limitations of conventional phase change composites (PCCs)—including low thermal anisotropy, phase change material (PCM) leakage, and inefficient photo-thermal conversion—we develop a hierarchically engineered PCC by integrating chitosan (CS) aerogel, unidirectionally aligned carbon fibers (CFs), and polyethylene glycol (PEG2000). The CS aerogel matrix suppresses PEG leakage via hydrogen-bonding networks while enabling directional CF alignment, achieving record axial thermal conductivity (6.61 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹) and exceptional anisotropy (ratio: 11.9). Despite reduced PEG loading with CF content, the composites retain high latent heat (136.6 kJ·kg⁻¹ at 15 wt% CFs) and mechanical robustness. The aligned CF network synergistically enhances broadband solar absorption and directional heat transfer, enabling ultrahigh solar-thermal efficiency (98.5 % at 3.0 sun irradiation). Remarkably, the system exhibits excellent cyclic stability and outdoor operational reliability. This work establishes a scalable paradigm for sustainable thermal energy storage by concurrently resolving the trade-offs among PCM encapsulation, anisotropic thermal management, and photo-thermal conversion.
