In this paper, a polypyrrole-carbon nanotube hydrogel (PPy-CNT) with 3D macroporous structure was prepared by secondary growth method. This self-supporting material with good conductivity and biocompatibility can be directly used as anode in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). The prepared material had a uniform structure with rich 3D porosity and showed good water retention performance. The effect of the mass ratio of PPy and CNT in the hydrogel were also investigated to evaluate the electrical performance of MFC. The MFC with 10:1 PPy-CNT hydrogel anode could reached the maximum power density of 3660.25 mW/m3 and the minimal electrochemical reaction impedance of anode was 5.06 Ω. The effects of Congo red concentration, external resistance and suspended activated sludge on decolorazation and electricity generation were also investigated in the MFC with the best performance hydrogel. When the Congo red concentration was 50 mg/L and the external resistance was 200 Ω, the dye decolorization rate and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate could reach 94.35% and 42.31% at 48h while the output voltage of MFC was 480 mV. When activated sludge was present, the decolorization rate and COD removal rate could be increased to 99.55% and 48.08% at 48 h. The above results showed that the porous hydrogel anode had broad application prospects in synchronous wastewater treatment and electricity production of MFC.

Two-dimensional layered metal carbides (MXene) have a broad application prospect in electromagnetic absorption, but suffer from poor impedance matching, which limits the absorbing performance. Herein, an efficient nanocomposite absorber was successfully prepared via loading Co-substituted β 2 -keggin-type polyoxometalate doped with polypyrrole and Fe 3 O 4 on the surface of MXene . Polyoxometalate and HCl as a proton acid doped polypyrrole, with anions attached to the main chain, could adjust the electromagnetic parameters, making the nanocomposites material easily achieve the best conductivity and impedance matching; Fe 3 O 4 introduced magnetic loss, and the freedom of movement of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ caused multiple polarization; dipole polarization was induced by defects, dipoles and dangling bonds in nanocomposites; the charge accumulated at the three phase interface and led to interfacial polarization. We had conducted research on the absorbing properties of nanocomposites with different as-prepared unitary to ternary products, loading rates and component proportion. When the filling level was 45 wt%, an optimal reflection loss value of MXene/PPy@β 2 -SiW 11 Co/Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites at only 1.7 mm reached up to −62.6 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth of 9 GHz could be obtained at the low thickness range of 1.5–2.9 mm. These results demonstrated that the prepared nanocomposites were expected to be a promising electromagnetic wave absorber with thin thickness and high absorption intensity.

Polypyrrole@cellulose fibers (PPy@CFs) electrode materials are promising candidates in the energy storage. Various strategies have been pursued to improve their electrochemical performance. However, the poor conductivity, specific capacitance, and cyclic stability still hindered its application. Compared with the previous studies, we selected AQS with electrochemical activity as a dopant to improve these defects. It exhibits a high capacitance of 829.8 F g−1at a current density of 0.2 A g−1, which is much higher than that of PPy@CFs electrode material (261.9 F g−1). Moreover, the capacitance retention of PPy:AQS/p-PTSA@CFs reaches up to 96.01% after 1000 cycles, indicating superior cyclic stability. Therefore, this work provides an efficient strategy for constructing high-performance electrode materials for energy storage.Keywords:CFs;PPy;AQS;doping effect;electrochemical performance

With rapid advances in the portable electronics industry, the creation of microwave absorbing materials with high-performance to dissipate the unwanted electromagnetic wave is an important prerequisite. Herein, unique ternary organic-inorganic composites (C/Ni/PPy) were fabricated by hydrothermal method combined with in-situ polymerization approach. The correlation between structure, components, and microwave absorption capability is investigated in detail. The carbon matrix was prepared through a typical “carbonization-activation” procedure. Then, the PPy particles were decorated on the surface of the biomass carbon matrix incorporated with Ni particulates via an in-situ polymerization method. The microwave absorbing results suggest that the C/Ni/PPy ternary composites exhibit stronger dielectric loss and microwave absorption capabilities than C/PPy binary composites. A reflection loss of − 42.09 dB and an outstanding effective absorption bandwidth of 5.24 GHz are achieved simultaneously with a thickness of only 2.4 mm. The excellent microwave absorbing performances can be ascribed to the unique microstructure, enhanced polarization and the synergistic effects between dielectric loss and magnetic loss. The present work achieves a new paradigm to improve microwave absorption characteristics through the combination of dielectric components with magnetic materials. Furthermore, a prototype is proposed, which has broad application prospects for applications in next-generation wearable and portable electronics.

Covalent bond usually ensures a stable connection between nonmetallic atoms. However, the traditional reflux method usually requires the construction of complex instruments and equipment with tedious steps to ensure airtightness and reaction stability. In this work, an advanced method is adopted to bind core–shell CoFe 2 O 4 @PPy and rGO tightly via the aid of 2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)ethanamine (PyEA), dispense with a high-temperature environment or protective gas . Cobalt ferrite core and polypyrrole shell collaborate to approach suitable magnetic and conduction loss, while reduced graphene oxide usually provides a stable sheet structure for interface multiple reflections, and replenish the insufficient dielectric loss. The filled biscuit-shaped covalently bond CoFe 2 O 4 @PPy-rGO has a fantastically broad absorption bandwidth of 13.12 GHz under the thickness of 3.6 mm, together with a minimum reflection loss of −50.1 dB at 6.56 GHz, achieving both impedance matching and attenuation matching, and effectively responding to all electromagnetic waves in the X and Ku bands. Thus, the covalently bonded CoFe 2 O 4 @PPy-rGO has potential application in broadband absorption.

Transition metal phosphides have shown Pt-like hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity in acid and alkaline solution, while their HER performance in neutral-pH is really poor owing to the high resistance and inefficient mass transfer in neutral-pH electrolyte. In this work, the well-arranged core/shell PSS-PPy/Ni-Co-P growing on Cu foil, in which Ni-Co-P is the core and the mixed polymer of pyrrole and sodium polystyrene sulfonate is the shell, has been demonstrated to be a highly efficient electrocatalyst for HER in neutral-pH electrolyte. The PSS-PPy/Ni-Co-P/CF self-supporting electrode was easily synthesized by electrodeposition and chemical deposition at room temperature. According to the experiment and DFT calculation results, PSS-PPy not only improves the conductivity and hydrophilicity of Ni-Co-P, but also optimizes the electronic structure of Ni-Co-P. Thus, the PSS-PPy/Ni-Co-P shows remarkable HER activity with only overpotential of 106 and 67 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm −2 in neutral-pH and alkaline electrolytes, respectively. Furthermore, PSS-PPy/Ni-Co-P has excellent stability in neutral-pH, alkaline electrolytes and even seawater. The current surface modification method directs us to design more low-cost, high-efficiency and stable electrocatalysts for HER in neutral-pH electrolyte.

The one-dimensional hollow nanostructure can effectively decrease the diffusion distance of lithium ions and alleviate the volume change of SnO 2 during cycling. In this work, SnO 2 /ZnO hollow nanotubes were obtained from two different molecular weights of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) by combining electrospinning technology and heat treatment. Mechanism studies indicated the hollow nanotubes with different morphology could be controllable by varying the molecular weight of PVP. SnO 2 /ZnO nanotubes with high molecular weight PVP as precursor (SnO 2 /ZnO–H) had smaller diameter and denser structure, which as anode showed better stability and capacity in electrochemical test. The conductivity and stability of SnO 2 /ZnO–H were further improved after coated with Polypyrrole (PPy) by the in-situ polymerization. The reversible capacity of the batteries was improved, and the volume expansion of the metal oxide was restrained during charging and discharging. The SnO 2 /ZnO@PPy anode exhibited a high discharge capacity of 626.1 mA h g −1 of 0.2C after 100 cycles, showing an outstanding stability. Therefore, controllable hollow metal oxide nanotubes structures could be obtained via different the molecular weights of precursor polymer. And the hollow nanotubes after coating by PPy as anode materials exhibited the excellent electrochemical performance . This research provided an idea in further design and optimization of anode microstructure for lithium-ion batteries.

Photopiezocatalysts can take advantage of both solar light and environmental mechanical energy, holding high significance in building a sustainable society. However, designing high potent photopiezocatalysts remains challenging. In this study, we propose the asymmetric ternary heterojunction as an efficient strategy for achieving effective photopiezocatalysts. The BTO/PPy/TiO2 catalyst composed of BaTiO3 (BTO) and TiO2 nanosheets and polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles present both enhanced asymmetric interfacial charge separation as well as deformability under mechanical stimuli, leading to appealing photopiezocatalytic capabilities. The d33 of the ternary BTO/PPy/TiO2 heterojunction is 3.1 times that of the binary BTO/TiO2 counterparts. In-situ synchrotron-radiation-IR measurements indicates that electric fields excite electrons to higher energy levels and lead to larger electron densities in the heterojunction. The piezoelectric fields also enhance charge separations. Using cycled assembly, the ternary BTO/PPy/TiO2 heterojunctions are facilely constructed on a copper mesh substrate, and its application in effective photopiezocatalytic degradation reactions are demonstrated. We expect the study elucidate the mechanism underlining efficient energy conversion and application in the photopiezocatalytically active asymmetric heterojunction and inspire the design of efficient catalysts.

In order to obtain high dielectric properties nitrile rubber (NBR) dielectric elastomer composites, in this work, polypyrrole (PPy) was encapsulated on the surface of SrTiO 3 (STO) ceramic particles, and an insulating layer of poly (catechol/polyamine) (PCPA) was also covered on the outer surface of the STO-PPy core-shell particles (denoted as STO-PPy-PCPA particles), then the dielectric elastomer composites were prepared by adding STO and STO-PPy-PCPA to NBR, respectively. Due to the electrical conductivity of PPy, the dielectric constant of the STO-PPy-PCPA particles increases substantially. At the same time, the insulating layer of PCPA further prevents current leakage from the composite, which not only avoids premature electrical breakdown but also effectively reduces the dielectric loss. Compared with pure NBR, the dielectric constant of the prepared dielectric elastomer composites increased from 13 to 17.19 (20 phr STO-PPy-PCPA/NBR), and the actuated strain increased from 3.28 % to 13.86 % (5 phr STO-PPy-PCPA/NBR), which is 4.2 times that of pure NBR. This work successfully solves the current problems of requiring a large amount of ceramics to improve the dielectric constant and the tendency of conductive particles to agglomerate and premature breakdown. Graphical In this work, high performance NBR dielectric elastomer composites are obtained by synthesising the core-shell structure STO-PPy-PCPA and the actuated strain is enhanced from 3.28 % (pure NBR) to 13.86 (5 phr STO-PPy-PCPA/NBR).

A reactive-template vapor phase polymerization method for the preparation of bamboo-like polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubes has been successfully demonstrated in this paper. Herein, electrospun V 2 O 5 nanofibers were chosen as templates to deposit PPy, which served as the oxidants as well. This method can provide the fabrication of PPy nanostructures more easily than conventional routes due to its independence of removing template, which is usually a complex and tedious experimental process. The application of bamboo-like PPy nanotubes for Cr(VI) ions removal in aqueous solution has been explored. The resulting bamboo-like PPy nanotubes exhibited much higher adsorption performance than traditional PPy nanoparticles.

Ribbon-like nano-structures possess high aspect ratios, and thus have great potential in the development of high-performance microwave absorption (MA) materials that can effectively eliminate adverse electromagnetic radiation. However, these nano-structures have been scarcely constructed in the field of MA, because of the lack of efficient synthetic routes. Herein, we developed an efficient method to successfully construct polypyrrole (PPy) nano-ribbons using the self-assembly aggregates of a racemic surfactant as the seeds. The frequency range with a reflection loss value of lower than −10 dB reached 7.68 GHz in the frequency range of 10.32–18.00 GHz, and surpassed all the currently reported PPy nano-structures, as well as most other MA nano-materials. Through changing the amount of surfactant, both the nano-structures and MA performance can be effectively regulated. Furthermore, the reason behind the high-performance MA of PPy nano-ribbons has been deeply explored. It opens up the opportunity for the application of conducting polymer nano-ribbons as a lightweight and tunable high-performance MA material, especially in applications of special aircraft and flexible electronics.

In this study, a hierarchical rod-assembled, polypyrrole-modified Ce–Al–La trimetallic metal–organic framework (Ce–Al–La–MOFs@PPy) composite was successfully synthesized through a solvothermal method combined with in situ polymerization for efficient fluoride removal from aqueous solutions. The incorporation of conductive polypyrrole (PPy) into the multimetallic MOFs effectively enhanced the structural stability, surface properties, and adsorption performance of the material. Adsorption experiments demonstrated that the optimal metal-to-ligand molar ratio was 3:1, and the prepared adsorbent exhibited excellent fluoride removal performance under weakly acidic conditions (pH = 5). The maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir model reached 216.92 mg·g−1at 45 °C. Adsorption kinetics were well fitted by the pseudo-second-order model, indicating that the adsorption process was mainly governed by chemisorption. Mechanism investigations based on FTIR and XPS analyses demonstrated that fluoride removal mainly occurred through electrostatic attraction and coordination exchange between fluoride ions and the Ce/La active sites. In addition, the composite exhibited good selectivity, anti-interference ability toward coexisting ions, and satisfactory fluoride removal performance in practical industrial wastewater. These findings suggest that Ce–Al–La–MOFs@PPy is a promising adsorbent for efficient fluoride-contaminated wastewater treatment.
