Flexible organic/inorganic piezoelectric nanocomposites are highly demanded for flexible wearable electronic devices due to their excellent mechanical flexibility and high piezoelectric performance. However, the output performance of ceramic-polymer-based piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) is restricted by the poor electrical conductivity of the organic matrix and the distinct discrepancy in mechanical strength between inorganic filler and organic matrix. Herein, we propose a flexible piezoelectric polymer nanocomposite based on CNTs@PZT nanofibers (NFs) network where the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were introduced into the piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) NFs to simultaneously improve the electrical conductivity and mechanical strength of nanocomposites. When subjected to a periodical bending deformation , the CNTs@PZT NFs network-based PENG with optimal addition of CNTs (0.6 wt%) generates a maximum electrical output up to ∼12.5 V and ∼80 nA cm −2 which is four times higher than that of PENGs without CNTs doping. An ultrahigh power density of 91.7 nW cm −2 is obtained with an external load resistance of 40 MΩ when pressed via a 10 N compressive force , and furthermore, the generated power could charge a capacitor and further light a commercial LED. This work may pave a new way for the development of high-output nanocomposite-type PENGs.

V 2 O 5 , as a lithium-free cathode material, has inherent defects such as sluggish kinetics and volume change and, at the same time, requires a lithium metal anode that tends to form dendrites in liquid electrolytes. Both the lithium dendrite and the flammable electrolyte solvent bring longtime safety issues. This work introduces nonflammable inorganic–organic composite solid electrolyte to inhibit the growth of the lithium dendrite and suppress the instability caused by V 2 O 5 nanometerization. However, the long-term cycling and rate performances are still insufficient even when reducing V 2 O 5 size to about 50 nm. As an improvement, sub-10 nm V 2 O 5 /C nanosheets are designed and prepared using corn stalks as precursors through simple impregnation and calcination process. The V 2 O 5 /C offers a much better electrode/electrolyte contact and interface stability than bulk V 2 O 5 and commercial V 2 O 5 in the inorganic–organic composite solid electrolyte. The discharge capacity is 228 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C after 50 cycles and ≈110 mAh g −1 at 2.0 C.

A cermet fuel electrode Cu/Ce 0.6 Mn 0.3 Fe 0.1 O 2-δ (Cu/CMF) is proposed for a reversible solid oxide electrochemical cell (SOC) with CO/CO 2 as the shuttle. Cu is inert for the carbon deposition and CMF is electrochemically active for CO oxidation and CO 2 reduction. The electrode polarization resistances in CO at 700, 750 and 800 °C are 0.328, 0.207 and 0.155 Ω cm 2 , respectively, presenting high electrochemical activity towards CO oxidation. The maximal power densities can reach up to 303.3, 482.2 and 691.9 mW/cm 2 at 700, 750 and 800 °C, respectively. When the reversible SOCs are operated in solid oxide electrolysis cell mode, the polarization resistance of the electrolysis cell for pure CO 2 reduction at 800 °C has the minimal value of 0.126 Ω cm 2 at 1.8 V. At 2.0 V, the current densities can reach up to 0.584 1.219 and 2.204 A/cm 2 at 700, 750 and 800 °C, respectively. The durability of the cell in CO for as long as 200 h indicates the electrode has remarkable stability. And the short-term stability characteristics for CO 2 electrolysis at different voltages illustrate that the cell performs well below 2.0 V. The harsh reducing environment at 2.0 V may be detrimental to the Cu/CMF electrode.

The composite after referred to as P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) was prepared via free radical polymerization by polymer including quaternary ammonium salt and epoxy group which grafted onto the surface of Ce-ZnO. ZnO nanorods, Ce-ZnO nanorods, P(DMDAAC-AGE), P(DMDAAC-AGE)/ZnO composites, P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composites and commercial antimicrobials were respectively treated on the cotton fabrics and their biological properties were investigated. There is a synergistic effect between Ce-ZnO and N + from the polymer in the fabric treated with P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite so that it had a better antibacterial activity than pure polymer and pure Ce-ZnO. The antimicrobial rate of fabric treated with P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite could reach up to 96%. And in order to investigate the durable ability, the fabric was washed multiple times to simulate the daily use washing. The result showed that the fabric still gave a superior antibacterial performance after 11 cycles (the equivalent of 55 times house laundering). Simultaneously, the differences in the amount of P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite deposited on the fibers after washing were also investigated.

A conducting polymer based composite material of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with pure insoluble ionic liquid (IL), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, was prepared through a cost-effective electrodeposition method. A very tiny amount of insoluble IL (less than 15 μL), containing 0.1 M conducting polymer monomer, was drop-coated on an electrode surface and then used for electropolymerization using a homemade electrochemical cell filled with aqueous supporting electrolyte. With this design, the consumption of expensive IL for the preparation of the PEDOT/IL composite was greatly reduced, and thus effectively reduced the cost. The prepared PEDOT/IL composite was found to be highly conductive and stable, and it exhibited a highly nanoporous microstructure and excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of dopamine (DA). Based on the excellent stability and electrocatalytic activity of the PEDOT/IL nanocomposite, a highly stable, sensitive and selective DA sensor with a detection limit of about 51 nM was developed.

The polymethacrylimide/silicate (PMI/silicate) composites were successfully prepared from the monomers of acrylonitrile (AN) and methacrylic acid (MAA) via the monomer in situ intercalation polymerization and free foaming. The formation of imide groups was monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results of FTIR and XPS indicated that the imide groups were gradually formed and cyano groups were dwindling but still existed during foaming and thermal treatment. The thermogravimetric analysis results revealed that the thermal stability of the PMI/silicate composites was improved, the rate of thermal degradation was reduced, and the residue was increased because of the addition of silicates. The results of dynamic mechanical analysis revealed that the rigidity and the glass transition temperature of the composites were improved. The limit oxygen index (LOI) and cone calorimeter (CONE) test showed that the fire-retardant properties were improved because of the barrier effect of silicates. The cell morphologies of the PMI/silicate composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the results showed that the silicate particles were distributed on the cell walls, but the cells slightly cracked. The mechanical properties were measured by tensile, flexural, and compressive strength. The mechanical strength, especially flexural strength, was significantly improved. The flexural strength of PMI/MMT, PMI/kaolin, and PMI/talc containing 8 wt% silicates was improved to 172%, 240%, and 233%.

Precursors of a nickel-based metal–organic framework, denoted Ni-MOF, and the loofah plant were prepared by the microwave method, and “tree blossom” Ni/Nitrogen doped Carbon (NC)/ Carbon (C) composites were prepared by in situ pyrolysis under an argon atmosphere. During pyrolysis, the morphology, specific surface area, porous structure and electromagnetic parameters of the Ni/NC/C composites were adjusted by adjusting the pyrolysis temperature. The maximum reflection loss of the corresponding Ni/NC/C composites can reach −63.1 dB at 13.84 GHz and a thickness of 2 mm when the pyrolysis temperature was 650 ℃ and the filling amount was 16 wt%. And the effective absorption bandwidth was 35.44 GHz when the thickness was adjusted from 1 mm to 5.5 mm within the range of 2–40 GHz. Excellent performance comes from conduction loss, dipole and interface polarization, magnetic resonance, multiple electromagnetic reflections and scattering, and equilibrium impedance matching.

In the past two decades, a lot of high-capacity conversion-type metal oxides have been intensively studied as alternative anode materials for Li-ion batteries with higher energy density. Unfortunately, their large voltage hysteresis (0.8–1.2 V) within reversed conversion reactions results in huge round-trip inefficiencies and thus lower energy efficiency (50%–75%) in full cells than those with graphite anodes. This remains a long-term open question and has been the most serious drawback toward application of metal oxide anodes. Here we clarify the origins of voltage hysteresis in the typical SnO 2 anode and propose a universal strategy to minimize it. With the established in situ phosphating to generate metal phosphates during reversed conversion reactions in synergy with boosted reaction kinetics by the added P and Mo, the huge voltage hysteresis of 0.9 V in SnO 2 , SnO 2 -Mo, and 0.6 V in SnO 2 -P anodes is minimized to 0.3 V in a ternary SnO 2 -Mo-P (SOMP) composite, along with stable high capacity of 936 mA h g −1 after 800 cycles. The small voltage hysteresis can remain stable even the SOMP anode operated at high current rate of 10 A g −1 and wide-range temperatures from 60 to −30 °C, resulting in a high energy efficiency of 88.5% in full cells. This effective strategy to minimize voltage hysteresis has also been demonstrated in Fe 2 O 3 , Co 3 O 4 -basded conversion-type anodes. This work provides important guidance to advance the high-capacity metal oxide anodes from laboratory to industrialization.

The efficient delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs to the tumor tissues unavoidably encounters numerous obstacles, such as poor tumor targeting capability, slow intracellular drug release and massive accumulation in the liver. In this study, by self-assembling methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (lactide) block copolymer (mPEG-PLA) and hyaluronic acid-paclitaxel conjugate (HA-PTX), the composite nanoparticles (mPPHP NPs) were fabricated for efficient therapy of cancer. mPPHP NPs formed self-assembled nanoparticles (116 nm in diameter) with a narrow size distribution; and showed a rapid release of PTX in the presence of hyaluronidase and esterase . mPPHP NPs exhibited enhanced internalization by cells via CD44 receptors and selected cytotoxicity against A549 cells in vitro . More importantly, compared with other PTX formulations, mPPHP NPs were demonstrated to present the reduced liver accumulation, excellent tumor-targeting ability and superior antitumor efficacy in vivo , with a TIR of 75.9%. The multifunctional composite nanoparticles could be developed as a promising nano-carrier for improved therapeutic efficacy.

Selective reduction of nitroarenes is extremely valuable in industrial chemical production. The main reduced products are usually aniline derivatives obtained using single-component noble- or transition-metal catalysts; however, other important products such as hydrazobenzene derivatives always involve in harsh conditions and multiple reaction steps. Here, we realize an unexpected switchable reduction of nitroarenes into aniline or hydrazobenzene derivatives with high yield and selectivity just by controlling the molar ratio of nitroarenes to N 2 H 4 ·H 2 O with a nickel–tungsten carbide composite nanocatalyst loaded on carbon (Ni-WC/C). A series of control experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the multiple interfaces between Ni and WC can induce a synergistic effect, significantly modulating the electronic structure of the Ni-WC/C catalyst, and endowing the catalyst with switchable selectivity and high activity for the reduction of nitroarenes by hydrogenation. This synergistic multi-interfacial catalyst may offer a new way to design and explore highly efficient and selective catalysts for the controllable reduction of nitroarenes and similar hydrogenation reactions.

The severe non-radiative recombination loss caused by SnO 2 /perovskite interface defects greatly hinders the further improvement of the performance and stability of flexible perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, a series of halides KM (M = F, Cl, Br, I) were inserted as interface layers to modulate the SnO 2 /perovskite interface. Both experimental and theoretical calculation demonstrated that F − exhibited stronger interface coupling effect between the SnO 2 and perovskite than other halide ions (Cl − , Br − , I − ). The F − had unique effects in effectively depressing SnO 2 /perovskite interface defects ascribed to the simultaneous formation of Sn F bonds and hydrogen bonds , resulting in reduced non-radiative recombination and improved interfacial contact. In consequence, the champion KF-modified flexible and rigid PSCs delivered outstanding PCE of 18.16 % and 21.36 %, accompanied by the enhanced V OC of 1.14 V and 1.16 V, respectively. Meanwhile, the stability of flexible PSCs was significantly ameliorated after KF modification, and about 84 % of the original efficiency could be retained even after 3000 bending cycles. This work provides a facile and efficient strategy for interface modulation to achieve high-performance and stable flexible PSCs.

The rapid and sensitive detecting technique for subgroup J of avian leukosis viruses (ALVs-J) needs to be developed as soon as possible in order to not only reduce economic losses but also ensure the food safety. In this paper, a novel electrochemical immunosensor was built based on mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (mpg-C 3 N 4 ). Mpg-C 3 N 4 was used as the sensor platform to bond with the primary antibodies (Ab 1 ). The compound of thionine and mpg-C 3 N 4 (Th-mpg-C 3 N 4 ) was synthesized for the first time to serve as the electroactive probe as well as the carrier of secondary antibodies (Ab 2 ). Compared to bulk g-C 3 N 4 , mpg-C 3 N 4 possesses larger specific surface area, smaller electrochemical resistance and abundant active sites. So the proposed electrochemical immunosensor exhibited amplified detective signals which realized the sensitive detection of ALVs-J. Under the opitimized conditions, the immunosensor exhibited outstanding analytical performance for the detection of ALVs-J whose titer ranged from 10 2.08 to 10 4.0 TCID 50 /mL (TCID 50 : 50% tissue culture infective dose) with a low detection limit of 120 TCID 50 /mL (S/N = 3). The sensitivity of the immnosensor was 6.15 μA/(TCID 50 /mL). This high sensitive immunosensor also displayed good selectivity, reproducibility and stability. Last but not least, this new strategy may be of great promise for clinic application in the future.
