PVA hydrogels with high strength and toughness are fabricated by dual physical and chemical cross-linking. The best comprehensive mechanical properties can be achieved by reaction at room temperature followed with freeze-thaw and annealing treatment. Besides, the mechanical properties of PVA hydrogel increased first and then decreased with the increase of molecular weight or mass fraction. By changing the reaction solvent, the mechanical properties of PVA hydrogel could also be effectively adjusted. Therefore, the influences of various factors on the mechanical properties of PVA hydrogel can be obtained.

Two kinds of TiO2 nanobelts were prepared from commercial P-25 powders via an alkaline hydrothermal method with and without an acid etching process. The uncauterized nanobelts (TNs) exhibited a smooth surface, and mixed phases of anatase and TiO2 (B), whereas the cauterized ones (CTNs) displayed a rough surface and a pure anatase structure. TNs and CTNs were then deposited onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface with a conductive adhesive (CA), and the resulting chemically modified electrodes exhibited electrocatalytic activities in the oxidation of nucleobases in a 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 7.4. For guanine and adenine, well-defined oxidation peaks were observed in voltammetric measurements at about +0.62 and +0.89 V, respectively, at a potential sweep rate of 100 mV s−1, whereas for cytosine, uracil and thymine, the voltammetric features were not obvious. The average surface coverages (Γ) of guanine and adenine on the CTNs/CA/GCE electrode were estimated to be 4.75 × 10−10 and 7.44 × 10−10 mol cm−2, respectively, which were about twice those at the TNs/CA/GCE electrode. The enhanced activity of the CTN-based electrode towards purine nucleobase oxidation was ascribed to the large specific surface area and anatase structures with enhanced (001) facets of the CTN that facilitated adsorption of the analytes onto the electrode surface and charge transport through the electrode surface layer.

Carbon resource recovery from toxic organic wastewater to reduce unnecessary energy loss and greenhouse gas emissions is rarely pursued. In the present study, a promising approach for formic acid (FA) recovery from EDTA wastewater was proposed by coupling ozonation and flow-electrode capacitive deionization (Ozo/FCDI). In the ozonation process, a FA productivity of 25% was obtained with the complete degradation of EDTA. The FA recovery from wastewater was compared under electrodialysis (i.e., without the use of flowable carbon electrodes, 0 wt%) and FCDI (i.e. using 5 wt% flowable carbon electrodes) processes and the results demonstrated the superiority of the FCDI process. After 390 min of operation, the accumulated FA concentration in the anode chamber of the FCDI system had increased to 633.6 mg/L with a low energy consumption of 8.0 kWh/kg FA, which was 1.8 times of the FA concentration in the electrodialysis (ED) process and nearly 6.4 times in the feed stream. These findings suggest the effective acquisition of high value-added FA in the Ozo/FCDI system; may provide new opportunities and challenges for the recovery of organic compounds.

Two-dimensional (2D) graphene-based materials are widely applied as electrodes for supercapacitors due to their vast surface area and excellent charge mobility. However, the pursuit of the theoretical capacitance of graphene has lasted besides the improvements of charge/discharge rate and cycling life. In this work, a nitrogen and fluorine co-doped holey graphene hydrogel (NF-HGH) was synthesized by using consecutive solvothermal treatments for creating vacancies on the graphene basal plane and introducing heteroatoms into the graphene framework. The NF-HGH as an electrode for supercapacitors exhibited a remarkable electrochemical performance of 345.4 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte. In addition, the specific capacitance of the assembled all-solid-state flexible symmetric supercapacitor (SSC) was 67.3 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, with an outstanding long-term cycling stability over 10 000 cycles. The delivered maximum energy and power densities were 7.99 W h kg−1 and 10.08 kW kg−1, respectively. The abundant pyrrolic-N doped at the edge of etched vacancies and the formed semi-ionic C–F bonds around pyrrolic-N were critical for electrochemical developments, which provided a sensational method to construct carbonaceous frameworks for energy storage systems.

A polyimide–MWCNT composite (PNP@CNT) synthesized from 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic-dianhydride (NTCDA) and phenylene diamine (PDA) was investigated as a novel anode for aqueous Na-ion batteries. This composite demonstrates a high reversible capacity of 149 mA h g−1 at quite a low potential of −0.65 V (vs. SCE), superior rate capability and long-term cycling stability. The feasibility of PNP@CNTs in aqueous Na-ion full batteries is also confirmed in conjunction with the Na0.44MnO2 cathode, possibly serving as a high performance aqueous Na host anode for large-scale electric energy storage applications.

Single-crystalline chromium doped bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3−xCrxO12, x = 0.0–0.5) nanosheets with exposed {110} facets have been synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process. The Bi4Ti3−xCrxO12nanosheets possess well-defined tetragonal shapes with landscape dimension of 100–300 nm and thickness of 10–30 nm. The in-plane surfaces of the nanosheets lies on {001}, and the side surfaces are (110) and (10). Extension of the light absorption from the ultraviolet region to the visible-light region arises from the Cr 2p levels confirmed by XPS spectra. The Bi4Ti2.6Cr0.4O12 nanosheets with high stability showed the highest photocatalytic performance of H2 evolution from water under visible-light irradiation. Furthermore, the heterostructures by using the NiOx nanoparticles tightly coupled on the surface of Bi4Ti2.6Cr0.4O12 nanosheets, exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity due to the decrease in the recombination rate of the photoinduced electrons and holes, demonstrating that NiOx/Bi4Ti2.6Cr0.4O12 nanosheet is a promising candidate as a visible light photocatalyst.

An effective and highly selective molecularly imprinted material was prepared by suspension polymerization for the isolation and pre-concentration of synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) in seawater . The obtained MIPMs were proved to have more uniform size and porous structure, with maximum adsorption capacity of 8.43 mg g − 1 almost two times more than NIPMs (4.43 mg g − 1 ). The MIPMs showed no significant deterioration of the adsorption capacity after five rounds of regeneration. An off-line molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) method followed by HPLC–DAD was proposed for the detection of DES in seawater , and recoveries were satisfactorily higher than 77%. Four seawater samples in aquaculture area were analyzed and 0.61 ng mL − 1 DES was detected in one sample. The result demonstrated that this method can be used for the rapid separation and clean up of trace residual of DES in seawater.

Three-dimensional (3D) graphene-based porous materials with a combination of low density, superelasticity , excellent mechanical resilience and tunable functionalities can be used in diverse applications. Here we report an approach of fabricating the stable and flexible 3D graphene aerogel materials with tunable functionality via a general silane-assisted processing that maintains an effective control of the chemistry, architecture and functionality of these porous structures. Simultaneous reduction and functionalization were achieved under both a low temperature and a low graphene oxide concentration in aqueous solution via using a facile one-step co-assembly method. The introduction of silane bonding tailors both the porous microstructure and the surface property of the lightweight aerogel effectively, subsequently providing improved mechanical properties and versatile functionalities including super compressive elasticity, outstanding cyclic resilient property, good electrical conductivity , stable viscoelastic properties, high level energy absorption capacity, excellent hydrophobicity , remarkable thermal stability and extremely high sensitivity of elasticity-dependent electrical conductivity. This opens up scalable and low-cost ways to the integration of microscopic two-dimensional graphene sheets into macroscopic 3D graphene aerogel materials, thus providing the possibility of fabricating novel lightweight porous aerogel materials with controllable functionalities and reversible compressibility for applications in numerous fields.

A new nanocomposite was prepared by combining Magnesium silicate hydroxide (MSH) with decomposed gelatin under one-pot hydrothermal synthesis conditions. The chemical reaction process involved the MSH formation and the gelation decomposing into carbonaceous species. The characterization of resultant nanoparticles revealed that the nanocomposite was a combination of hydrogenated amorphous carbon and MSH. And the addition of gelatin during synthesis increased the content of granular nanoparticles in nanocomposite samples. The results of tribological experiments of MSH modified by carbon (MSH@C) as lubricant additive showed that the nanocomposites presented much better anti-wear property and friction stability than the MSH without modification. Thus MSH@C nanocomposites were expected to be a promising candidate for lubricant additives. The amorphous carbon film was detected on the wear scar which might account for the significant tribological property.

Polyurethane (PU) has been widely used as a glue in various areas. However, adhesion in the presence of water is greatly impeded and results in most synthetic adhesive failure. In this study, we designed and synthesized a novel PU construction; underwater PU adhesives were created by the incorporation of synthetic glycerol monomethacrylate (GMA). Furthermore, the urethane structure helped the adhesive eliminate the interfacial water barrier through interactions that were stronger than hydrogen bonding, and GMA as a crosslinking agent was used to generate post-covalent-crosslinking networks through radical polymerization. This enhanced the cohesion so the diffusion of water molecules could be overcome. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, underwater adhesion measurements, and tensile tests were used to characterize the chemical and mechanical properties of the as-obtained adhesive. This led to an adhesive with a better mechanical strength and interfacial adhesion in water, and the results show that the mechanical properties (tensile strength, Young's modulus, and tensile elongation) of the GMA–PU adhesive were higher than those of the pure PU. As for the 4% GMA, the tensile strength was enhanced by 24.3% and the elongation was enhanced by 125.23% over those of the pure PU. This confirmed that the incorporation of GMA into the PU matrix indeed induced increasing cohesion, and the sample's adhesive strength was 21.19 ± 3.9 MPa; this indicated a superior adhesive strength over that of the pure PU. In addition, we can foresee that underwater adhesion will play an important role in prospective surgery and engineering areas. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018 , 135 , 46579.

In this study, cellulose pulp and urea were used to synthesize cellulose carbamate (nitrogen content reaches 4.5%) by low-cost and environmentally friendly solid-liquid phase method. Cellulose carbamate fluid was prepared by using sodium hydroxide aqueous solution as solvent. The fluid was regenerated and formed in a coagulation bath , and finally a regenerated cellulose membrane with high transparency and separation ability was obtained. The simple chemical treatment of cellulose not only greatly increased the mass fraction of cellulose dissolution (It has reached 15%) and retains the original crystal form and thermal stability of cellulose. The surface of the membrane was relatively dense, and the inside has regular microchannel . The factors affect the transparency and water flux of regenerated cellulose membranes were discussed by orthogonal experimental range analysis. The ability of the regenerated cellulose membrane to reject dyes was tested. The results showed that the rejection of methyl blue and congo red reached 100%, and the rejection rate of methyl orange reached 60%. The oil/water separation ability and the anti-pollution ability of the regenerated cellulose membrane were tested. The oil/water separation effect reached 100%. This membrane may have application prospect in water treatment, biotechnology.
