In this paper, corrosion resistance of the Mg–4.0Zn–0.2Ca alloy was modified by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) process. The microstructure and phase constituents of MAO layer were characterized by SEM, XRD and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corrosion resistance of MAO treated Mg–4.0Zn–0.2Ca alloy in the simulated body fluid were characterized by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The microstructure results indicated that a kind of ceramic film was composed by MgO and MgF 2 was formed on the surface of Mg–4.0Zn–0.2Ca alloy after MAO treatment. The electrochemical test reveals that the corrosion resistance of MAO treated samples increase 1 order of magnitude. The mechanical intensity test showed that the MAO treated samples has suitable mechanical properties.

The photoelectrocatalytic water splitting of molybdenum disulfide is hindered by the intrinsic large electrical resistance among adjacent layers, serious photo-generated carrier recombination and limited utilization of visible light . Herein, we construct MoS 2 /MoO 2 heterostructures via a facile in situ hydrothermal route, in which a Schottky junction is established between the MoS 2 semiconductor and metallic MoO 2 . As a result, the photoelectrochemical current density of MoS 2 /MoO 2 is enhanced about 1.6 times than that of pure MoS 2 , achieving −10.3 mA cm −2 at −1.8 V vs. SCE, which can be attributed to the reduced electron transfer resistance, enlarged photo-generated carrier separation efficiency and enhanced light absorption due to the presence of metallic MoO 2 .

The photoconductivity and the gas sensing property of TiO 2 at room temperature under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation were compared with those under visible light irradiation (≥420 nm), respectively. It was found that UV light could cause the photoconductivity of TiO 2 and its sensing response to both ethylene and oxygen, while the visible light at 420 nm could cause the photoconductivity of TiO 2 and its sensing response to oxygen but not to ethylene. This indicates that the photo-assisted gas sensing performance of TiO 2 was dependent on its light-excited behavior: The intrinsic excitation of TiO 2 induced by UV light could produce both the holes and electrons, which exhibited a respective response to ethylene and oxygen, while the extrinsic excitation of TiO 2 induced by visible light maybe only produced the free electrons but not free holes, resulting in only a response to oxygen. Furthermore, it was found that the visible-light enhanced conductivity maybe depend on the Ti–bonded hydroxyls (Ti–OH) at TiO 2 surface. With the removal of Ti–OH by increasing temperature, the visible light could not produce the photoconductivity of TiO 2 . It was proposed that Ti–OH groups act as the shallow trapped level to cause the extrinsic excitation of TiO 2 .

Nanostructure of ordered polyaniline-graphene (PANI-rGO PMAS ) hybrid nanomaterials is assembled based on poly(2-methoxyaniline-5-sulfonic acid) (PMAS) functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO PMAS ) nanosheets. The presence of PMAS not only improves dispersibility of reduced graphene oxide nanosheets, but also plays a key role for heterogeneous nucleation of polyaniline (PANI) nanorods . The formation mechanism of ordered PANI-rGO PMAS hybrid nanomaterials was studied in details by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV–vis). The conductivity of PANI-rGO PMAS hybrid with 17 wt% rGO PMAS is as high as 4480 S/m, compared with 2.93 S/m for pure PANI. The cyclic voltammetry tests indicate that, PANI-rGO PMAS containing 2 wt% rGO PMAS possesses fast response to redox reactions and excellent reversible stability. It has a high specific capacitance of 385 F g −1 at the scan rate of 10 mV s −1 with potential ranges from −0.2 to 0.8 V. This ordered polyaniline-graphene hybrid has potential applications for flexible supercapacitors, sensors, batteries, electromagnetic materials and thermoelectric materials, etc.

Herein, oriented boron nitride (BN)/alumina (Al 2 O 3 )/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composites were obtained by filler orientation due to the shear-inducing effect via 3-D printing. The oriented BN platelets acted as a rapid highway for heat transfer in the matrix and resulted in a significant increase in the thermal conductivity along the orientation direction. Extra addition of spherical Al 2 O 3 enhanced the fillers networks and resulted in the dramatic growth of slurry viscosity. This, together with filler orientation induced the synergism and provided large increases in the thermal conductivity . A high orientation degree of 90.65% and in-plane thermal conductivity of 3.64 W/(m∙K) were realized in the composites with oriented 35 wt% BN and 30 wt% Al 2 O 3 hybrid fillers. We attributed the influence of filler orientation and hybrid fillers on the thermal conductivity to the decrease of thermal interface resistance of composites and proposed possible theoretical models for the thermal conductivity enhancement mechanisms.

In this work, we co-doped barium (Ba) and zirconium (Zr) in a lithium garnet oxide , to improve its electrochemical properties . In the doping range of y = 0–1.0, the Li 6+y La 3−y Ba y NbZrO 12 (LLBNZO) oxides maintain a cubic crystal structure. A secondary phase of BaZrO 3 emerges when y ≥ 0.75. The ionic conductivity of the developed garnet oxides first increases with Ba-doping in the low doping range and then decreases in the high doping range. It reaches the maximum value in Li 6.5 La 2.5 Ba 0.5 NbZrO 12 when y = 0.5. Cyclic voltammetry shows that the garnet oxides have a wide electrochemical voltage window up to 6 V. The constant-current polarization results on the symmetric cells assembled from Li 6.5 La 2.5 Ba 0.5 NbZrO 12 reveal that this garnet oxide is chemically stable against metallic lithium and has stable cycling performance.

Graphene oxide (GO)-based nanocomposite films via facile and appropriate self-assembly methods have demonstrated many potential applications in wide fields. This study demonstrates a facile and clean route to prepare graphene oxide-dye composite films using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique at room temperature. By electrostatic interaction between cationic dye molecules and negatively charged GO sheets as well as π-π interactions, GO-dye composite LB films were formed spontaneously. As a soft platform for dye molecules, GO sheets induce dye molecules to self-assemble and form highly ordered structures containing H-aggregates and/or J-aggregates. The morphological characterization results show the formation of GO-dye composite films with smooth and dense surfaces. And the spectral results reveal that dye molecules stack in well-organized aggregates on the surface of GO sheets corresponding to monomers in bulk solution. The present research work about GO-dye composite films by LB method may provide new clues to prepare organized composite films and demonstrate potential applications in many fields.

High-performance conjugated microporous polymer (CMP)/TiO 2 photocatalytic antibacterial nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by in situ Sonogashira polymerization. TiO 2 was uniformly dispersed onto the surface and within the CMP which show the microporous nature with narrow pore size distribution. The high crystallinity and thermal stability of the CMP/TiO 2 nanocomposites are attractive for use as antibacterial materials. The composites we prepared showed excellent photocatalytic antibacterial properties for the inactivation of Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic antibacterial rates of nanocomposites against E. coli and S. aureus after 120 min of visible light irradiation were 98.14% and 100%, respectively. The superoxide anion ( O 2 − ) was confirmed to be an important substance in the antibacterial process above. The cytocompatibility of the antibacterial agents was studied in terms of cytotoxicity against NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. More than 95% of the cells were still alive in the presence of the nanocomposites, both without and with light irradiation, indicating the good cytocompatibility of the nanocomposites. Judging from the excellent photocatalytic antibacterial properties and ultralow toxicity of nanocomposites, these materials can be used in many fields such as medical treatment, transportation and construction.

The electro-polymerization of l -Theanine was investigated for the first time on glassy carbon electrode and the polymeric conditions and mechanism were discussed in detail. Hereafter, a simple and sensitive electrochemical sensor based on the poly( l -Theanine) film was established for sophoridine sensing. The electrode process of sophoridine was then studied by cyclic voltammetry and its determination was achieved by amperometry . The results revealed that the poly( l -Theanine) membrane effectively decreased the oxidation potential of sophoridine and greatly increased its response current. And this sensor, fabricated easily and simply as well as very easy surface update, showed good response for sophoridine with a wide linear range from 1.0 × 10 −6 to 1.4 × 10 −4 mol L −1 and a low detection limit of 5 × 10 −7 mol L −1 . The application of proposed method in analysis of real sample was also evaluated with good performance. This work promoted the potential applications of amino acid materials in electrochemical sensors.

This study aims to further enhance the anti-corrosion performances of Al coatings by constructing superhydrophobic surfaces. The Al coatings were initially arc-sprayed onto steel substrates, followed by deposition of polyurethane (PU)/nano-Al 2 O 3 composites by a suspension flame spraying process. Large-scale corrosion-resistant superhydrophobic PU/nano-Al 2 O 3 -Al coatings were successfully fabricated. The coatings showed tunable superhydrophilicity/superhydrophobicity as achieved by changing the concentration of PU in the starting suspension. The layer containing 2.0 wt.%PU displayed excellent hydrophobicity with the contact angle of ∼151° and the sliding angle of ∼6.5° for water droplets. The constructed superhydrophobic coatings showed markedly improved anti-corrosion performances as assessed by electrochemical corrosion testing carried out in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The PU/nano-Al 2 O 3 -Al coatings with superhydrophobicity and competitive anti-corrosion performances could be potentially used as protective layers for marine infrastructures. This study presents a promising approach for fabricatiing superhydrophobic coatings for corrosion-resistant applications.

We synthesized novel polyurethane (PU) membranes from isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with a molecular weight of 2000, aminopropyl-terminated poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) with a molecular weight of 2000, and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) via a two-step polymerization. The structure of each synthesized membrane was studied through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. The effect of the thermal behavior was determined by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The gas-permeability characteristics of the PU membranes were then tested for a single gas. The results show that the permeability of CO 2 ( P CO2 ) gradually increased with PDMS content. Among these PU membranes, PU-d (PEG/PDMS = 1:1, PEG/PDMS/IPDI/BDO = 1:3:2) showed the best P CO2 (132.6 Barrer) at 25°C and 1 bar pressure. The gas-permeability coefficients of each PU membrane at different operating temperatures were investigated, and the results show that P CO2 reached 302.6 Barrer at 65°C and 1 bar. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The flexible ZrO 2 /C composite nanofibrous film was fabricated by electrospinning and thermal treatment. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, and Fourier transform infrared spectra were used to characterize the morphology and microstructure of the ZrO 2 /C composite nanofibrous film. The ZrO 2 /C nanofibers exhibited rough surface and had the average diameter of about 230 ± 35 nm. And the ZrO 2 nanoparticles were incorporated in carbon matrix and in tetragonal and monoclinic. The flexural property of the ZrO 2 /C composite nanofibrous film was investigated in detail. The results showed that the flexural property of the nanofibrous film was greatly improved with addition of the ZrO 2 nanoparticles. Besides, with the increase of the contents of ZrO 2 nanoparticles, the flexural modulus of the nanofibrous film decreased, reached a lowest value, and then increased. The lowest flexural modulus of the ZrO 2 /C composite nanofibrous film in precursor concentration of 7.0 wt% was 8.55 ± 0.06 MPa.
