Wettability is an important property of solid surfaces, superwetting materials can be prepared by controlling the surface morphology and surface energy. In recent years, superwetting materials have been researched and used widely in the fields of self-cleaning, anti-fogging, microfluidics, and oil–water separation, but few studies about superwetting materials in chemical reactions have been conducted. In the multiphase reaction, the low solubility and diffusion rate of gas lead to inferior mass transfer, which restricts the reaction kinetics and reduces the reaction rate. Therefore, it may be a breakthrough to make the solid surface obtain underwater superaerophilicity. In this paper, 1H,1H,2H,2H -perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (POTS) with low surface energy was constructed on the palladium-carbon nanotubes (Pd-CNTs), as-prepared Pd-CNTs/POTS composite has excellent hydrophobicity and underwater superaerophilicity. When Pd-CNTs/POTS composite was utilized in the catalytic hydrogenation, Pd-CNTs/POTS composite shows higher catalytic activity than Pd-CNTs; the higher catalytic performance is attributed to the underwater superaerophilicity, which enables gaseous hydrogen to rapidly accumulate on the surface of material, increasing the gas–liquid–solid reaction interface formed. The strategy looks forward to providing a new way for developing novel and efficient heterogeneous catalysts and reaction systems.

In this work, we have successfully constructed carbon nanotube (CNT)-a-CoS x amorphous heterostructured catalysts using a two-step method. The abundant active sites, superior electron transport properties, and large electrochemically active specific surface area enable amorphous CNT-a-CoS x to exhibit higher hydrogen evolution reaction performance than crystalline CNT-c-CoS x in acidic conditions. To deliver a cathodic current density of 10 mA cm −2 , the required overpotential is only 76 mV. No significant performance degradation is observed after 60,000 s of electrochemical durability test. This facile strategy provides technical support for the design and construction of amorphous heterostructured electrocatalysts with high activity and stability for the generation of green hydrogen.

A novel Co-based organic frameworks/carbon nanotubes/silicon dioxide (Co-MOF/CNTs/SiO2)-modified Au electrode was fabricated and taken as a platform for gallic acid (GA) detection. The composite combined the advantages of Co-MOF, CNTs and SiO2, and higher electrochemical response of Co-MOF/CNTs/SiO2-modified electrode indicated that the composite material exhibited satisfied the catalytic activity towards GA. Moreover, the electrochemical oxidation process of GA was deeply investigated on the surface of electrode based on computational investigations. Hirshfeld charges and condensed Fukui functions of each atom in GA were calculated. Besides, the catalysis of Co-MOF to GA was further investigated based on density functional theory. The quantitative determination of GA was carried out and showed a linear range between 0.05–200 μM, with low limit of detection. The sensitivity value of the self-assembled electrochemical sensor was calculated to be 593.33 μA cm−2mM−1, and the selectivity, reproducibility and stability of the gallic acid sensor were also confirmed in the study.Keywords:gallic acid;electrochemical;electro-oxidation;detection;density functional theory

Rubber reinforcement technology is developing towards the direction of high efficiency and multi-functionality, and the reinforcement of rubber by a single-component filler can no longer meet the requirements. Nanocomposite fillers have become the development trend of high-performance reinforcing fillers due to the complementary advantages and synergistic reinforcing effects of each component. Reduced graphene oxide-carbon nanotubes (RGO-CNTs) composites were prepared by a method of electrostatic assembly. The non-covalent modified RGO-CNTs was used as a substance to grow in situ SiO 2 nanoparticles (RGO-CNTs-SiO 2 ), and the RGO-CNTs-SiO 2 three-phase fillers were obtained. The RGO-CNTs-SiO 2 three-phase fillers were further used to study the reinforcing properties of hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR). Furthermore, the effects of RGO-CNTs-SiO 2 with different component contents on the reinforcing properties of HNBR were systematically studied. The TEM images of RGO-CNTs-SiO 2 show that the RGO and CNTs promotes mutual dispersion, and the SiO 2 nanoparticles (average diameter 7 nm) are highly dispersed on the surface of RGO-CNTs. The characterization of RGO-CNTs-SiO 2 /HNBR indicates that the RGO-CNTs-SiO 2 efficiently weaken the filler network and improve the filler-rubber interaction. The results show that the three-phase fillers produce obvious synergistic reinforcing effects. The highest tensile strength (30.1 MPa) of RGO-CNTs-SiO 2 /HNBR is achieved at the RGO:CNTs mass ratio of 1:5, the RGO-CNTs mass percentage of 2%, and the filler loading of 50 phr. This work demonstrates the considerable promise for developing three-phase filler-based rubber composites .

Self-healing triboelectric nanogenerators (SH-TENGs) with fast self-healing, high output performance, and wearing comfort have wide and promising applications in wearable electronic devices. This work presents a high-performance hydrogel-based SH-TENG, which consists of a high dielectric triboelectric layer (HDTL), a self-healing hydrogel electrode layer (SHEL), and a physical cross-linking layer (PCLL). Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), obtained by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, were added into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to produce the HDTL. Compared with pure PDMS, the short-circuit transferred charge (44 nC) and the open circuit voltage (132 V) are doubled for PDMS with 0.01 wt% CNTs. Glycerin, polydopamine particles (PDAP) and graphene were added to poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to prepare the self-healing hydrogel electrode layer. SHEL can physically self-heal in ~1 min when exposed to air. The self-healing efficiency reaches up to 98%. The PCLL is made of poly(methylhydrosiloxane) (PMHS) and PDMS. It forms a good physical bond between the hydrophilic hydrogel and hydrophobic PDMS layers. The electric output performance of the SH-TENG can reach 94% of the undamaged one in 1 min. The SH-TENG (6 × 6 cm 2 ) exhibits good stability and superior electrical performance, enabling it to power 37 LEDs simultaneously.

The development of transition metal-based catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction with high active and stable performance is becoming an important means to reduce the energy consumption and cost of hydrogen products. In this paper, a two-step adding hydrothermal approach is conducted to manufacture 3D flower-like heteronanostructures composed of MoSe 2 -rGO-CNTs for the efficient electrocatalysis for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by acid medium hydrolysis. The physical structures and chemical compositions of the heteronanostructures were characterized with several techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The heterostructures of the flower-like MoSe 2 -rGO-CNTs are formulated by in situ combination of the monolayer rGO-CNTs and MoSe 2 crystals, where the excellent quality transverse heterostructures can boost the electrons transferring from the monolayer rGO-CNTs interfaces to the MoSe 2 crystals, accomplishing the electronic deployment of MoSe 2 -rGO-CNTs heterostructures for prominent electrocatalytic performance. After optimization, the as-synthesized MoSe 2 -rGO-CNTs heterostructures catalyst exhibited an excellent electrocatalytic activity in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 solution with an overpotential of 206 mV at the current density of 10 mA·cm −2 and a Tafel slope of 46.74 mV·dec −1 for HER reaction. The optimal MoSe 2 -rGO-CNTs heteronanostructures display an excellent HER electrocatalytic activity and superior long-term durability in an acidic medium. Graphical Abstract

A surge of effort has been devoted to establishing super-wetting membranes with versatility for oily waste water purification. However, persistent challenge remains the lower separation flux. Moreover, the majorities of catalysts are only adsorbed on the surface and easily fall off after multiple cyclic separations. In this work, an effective strategy has been taken to construct a composite membrane consisting of polyacrylic acid functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs-PAA) and MIL101(Fe)@platinum nanoparticles (MIL101(Fe)@Pt NPs). The obtained CNTs-PAA/MIL101(Fe)@Pt composite membrane can achieve degradation of dye molecules and at the same time effective separation of oil-in-water emulsions. The separation throughput of this composite membrane can reach up to 11000 L m −2 h -1 bar -1 , which has exceeded most of the previous reported multifunctional separation membranes. Furthermore, this composite membrane has presented stable mechanical property and excellent anti-corrosion ability. This work gives comprehensive consideration to excellent separation performance, versatility and stability, which could have potential applications in practical oily wastewater treatment.

Developing a durable and efficient oil/water separation membrane for purification of the oily water is crucial for sustainable aquatic ecosystems and public health. Herein, a superhydrophobic and superoleophilic nanofibrous membrane was successfully developed with an improved mechanical strength via a facile method of blend-electrospun. By introducing an ultralow amounts of carbon nanotubes (CNTs, 0.15 wt%, 2.55 mg/g), the obtained composite membrane exhibited a satisfactory hydrophobic (water contact angle, WCA = 152°) and oleophilic nature (oil contact angle, OCA ∼ 0°, oil permeation time =91.63 ms). The as-prepared composite membrane exhibited a strong acid/alkali resistance (pH = 1–14), high thermal stability (160 °C), and good mechanical stability; it had a high oil-water separation flux (max = 9270 L m -2 h -1 ) and a separation efficiency of > 99% under the driving of gravity, indicating a significant applicability for energy-saving filtration. The integration of high performance, low cost, and a simple solution-based fabrication process makes the as-prepared membranes have a great potential for future applications.

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts are of central importance for electrocatalytic water oxidation and fuel generation, while it is still an urgent requirement to design and develop efficient OER catalysts with rapid kinetics and low overpotentials. Herein, we report an electrochemical deposition method to fabricate carbon nanotubes/N-doped cuprous sulfide (CNTs/N-Cu 2 S) composites using thiourea and a CuSO 4 solution as the S and Cu sources, respectively. The advantages of this strategy include low cost, simple processing and the absence of templates or surfactants that can otherwise affect the electrochemical properties of the products. The N supplied by the thiourea can be used as a doping agent as a result of the in situ formation of small N-Cu 2 S particles, which can increase larger surface area and create more active sites to enhance OER catalytic activity, compared with that obtained with materials synthesized without adding the thiourea. The synergic interface of CNTs and N-Cu 2 S can improve conductivity and efficient chemical transfer in the composites electrodes by introducing CNTs. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the CNTs/N-Cu 2 S-5cyc composites present an excellent activity with the current density of 10 mA cm −2 at a low OER overpotential of 280 mV, the Tafel slope of 63 mV dec −1 and a strong electrochemical stability in 1.0 M KOH solution.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is a fast analysis tool for the detection of a wide range of analytes . However, heterogeneous distribution of matrix/analyte cocrystal, variation in signal intensity and poor experimental reproducibility at different locations of the same spot means difficulty in quantitative analysis. In this work, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were employed as adsorbent for analyte cum matrix on a conductive porous membrane as a novel mass target plate. The sample pretreatment step was achieved by enrichment and dead-end filtration and dried by a solid-liquid separation. This approach enables the homogeneous distribution of analyte in the matrix, good shot-to-shot reproducibility in signals and quantitative detection of peptide and protein at different concentrations with correlation coefficient (R 2 ) of 0.9920 and 0.9909, respectively. The simple preparation of sample in a short time, uniform distribution of analyte, easy quantitative detection, and high reproducibility makes this technique useful and may diversify the application of MALDI-MS for quantitative detection of a variety of proteins.

Efficient lithium polysulfides (LIPSs) conversion is essential for enhancing the kinetics and suppressing the shuttle effect in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Metal tetraaminophthalocyanines (TaPcM), with abundant amino functional groups and stable metal-centered sites, exhibit remarkable catalytic activity and strong LIPSs adsorption capability in Li-S systems. In this study, nickel and copper atoms were individually anchored at the central coordination sites of tetraaminophthalocyanine (TaPc) molecules. The amino groups of TaPc served as branching points to establish chemical cross-linking bonds and π-π interactions with the surface of carbon nanotubes, thereby forming robust and stable cross-linking junctions. Electrochemical evaluations reveal that the as-designed S/TaPcNiCu/CNTs composite cathode delivers an impressive initial discharge capacity of 1139.7 mAh g −1 at 0.2C and retains 600.6 mAh g −1 after 500cycles at 1.0C, demonstrating excellent catalytic conversion of LIPSs and outstanding cycling stability. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate the synergistic roles of Ni and Cu active centers in LIPSs adsorption and catalytic conversion. This work highlights the promising potential of bimetallic TaPc for Li-S cathode applications, paving a new pathway for advancing Li-S battery technologies.

In response to the shortcomings of traditional surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates, such as short shelf life, poor uniformity, and low selectivity, this study innovatively proposed a three-dimensional composite substrate of CNTs/Ag/AgNWs/SiO 2 . This substrate demonstrates excellent SERS enhancement effects, with a detection limit of 10 −12 mol/L for the probe molecule Rhodamine 6G (R6G) and an enhancement factor (EF) of 8.947 × 10 8 . Further experiments confirmed the substrate’s superior uniformity and stability. The enhancement mechanism was investigated using both experimental methods and the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) approach. When commonly used pesticide thiram was used as the target analyte, the detection limit of the substrate reached 0.1 mg/L, which is significantly lower than the pesticide residue standards of China and the European Union. Additionally, the genetic algorithm (GA)-optimized Back Propagation (BP) neural network was introduced for the quantitative analysis of thiram concentrations. The experimental results indicated that the GA-BP algorithm achieved the training prediction accuracy of 92.5% for thiram, demonstrating good network performance. This method shows good selectivity and has broad application prospects in the detection of toxic chemicals, environmental pollutants, and food additives.
