A novel PEDOT-PSS coated sulfur@activated porous graphene composite (PEDOT/S@aPG) is prepared by the impregnation of sulfur with aPG and encapsulation with PEDOT-PSS as the cathode material for lithium–sulfur batteries. The abundant nanopores and large surface area of aPG can provide an intimate contact and strong interaction with S species. Furthermore, the conductive PEDOT-PSS layer can facilitate the charge transportation and prevent the dissolution of polysulfides. As a result, the as-prepared PEDOT/S@aPG composite cathode with a sulfur content of about 60.1% shows a higher specific discharge capacity (1198 mA h g−1 at 0.1 C) in the first cycle and good cycling stability, retaining a reversible capacity of 845 mA h g−1 after 200 cycles. Moreover, the PEDOT/S@aPG cathode also exhibits excellent rate capability, showing a high reversible capacity of 718 mA h g−1 at 2 C.

Rapid and accurate in situ determination of dopamine is of great significance in the study of neurological diseases. In this work, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonic acid) (PEDOT: PSS)/graphene oxide (GO) fibers were fabricated by an effective method based on microfluidic wet spinning technology. The composite microfibers with stratified and dense arrangement were continuously prepared by injecting PEDOT: PSS and GO dispersion solutions into a microfluidic chip. PEDOT: PSS/GO fiber microelectrodes with high electrochemical activity and enhanced electrochemical oxidation activity of dopamine were constructed by controlling the structure composition of the microfibers with varying flow rate. The fabricated fiber microelectrode had a low detection limit (4.56 nM) and wide detection range (0.01–8.0 µM) for dopamine detection with excellent stability, repeatability, and reproducibility. In addition, the PEDOT: PSS/GO fiber microelectrode prepared was successfully used for the detection of dopamine in human serum and PC12 cells. The strategy for the fabrication of multi-component fiber microelectrodes is a new and effective approach for monitoring the intercellular neurotransmitter dopamine and has high potential as an implantable neural microelectrode.

PVA/PSS composite gel membrane electrode for membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) was fabricated and characterised in the present study. The composite electrode with ion exchange surface is prepared by coating glutaraldehyde cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite hydrogel, with Poly (Sodium 4-Styrenesulfonate) (PSS) added into the network, on the surface of activated carbon (AC) electrode. The feasibility of the gel membrane is analyzed by rheological, swelling rates and ion exchange capacity tests. Then electrochemical test and desalination test are used to study the performance of the MCDI electrode. The results show that coating of composite hydrogel layer improved the hydrophilicity, specific capacitance and lower interfacial electron transfer resistance of the electrode. Finally, we assemble the asymmetrical CDI cell with PVA/PSS composite gel electrode and AC electrode. Compared with the AC electrode, the salt adsorption capacity of PVA6-PSS15 can reach 18.9 mg g−1 and stable charge efficiency at 73.0% at operating voltage of 1.2 V. The decrease in specific capacitance of PVA6-PSS15 after 50 cycles is 1.33%, indicating that the electrode has a good cycling life. The gel membrane coated electrode prepared by PSS provides a new idea for the development of MCDI.

Increasing the sulfur loading in the cathode of a lithium–sulfur battery is an important way to improve its capacity for practical applications. To achieve this, the present work proposes using PEDOT-PSS to encapsulate sulfur/carbon black (S/BP) by a facile solution mixing method and the formed composite is then coated on a porous carbon paper. It is believed that the formation of a core/shell structure in the PEDOT@S/BP composite can promote the electron transport and effectively impede the diffusion of polysulfides, and the porous carbon paper is able to retain the electrolyte containing the dissolved polysulfides in the cathode and alleviate the adverse effect of sulfur volumetric expansion. Due to such advantages, the proposed cathode, with a high sulfur loading of 3 mg cm−2, can yield a high reversible capacity of 1041 mA h g−1 and an excellent cycle stability with a capacity retention of 868 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles and an average coulombic efficiency of 99.4%.

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.

Thin-film composite (TFC) membranes with an interlayer were prepared extensively for desalination , but the hydrophilicity and permeability were not well improved. In this work, a smooth and hydrophilic interlayer was constructed by electrostatic air spray deposition (EASD) of poly (sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) on the polyethersulfone substrate and an ultra-thin separation layer was prepared using interfacial polymerization of piperazine (PIP) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) to acquire high-performance composite nanofiltration (NF) membranes. The polymer solution was atomized into tiny particles under a high-pressure electrostatic air spray effect, facilitating the deposition of PSS/PEI with good homogeneity and enabling a denser and smoother interlayer surface. The introduction of PSS/PEI enhanced the hydrophilicity of TFC membranes and increased the repulsion of divalent cations to improve the salt rejection. The impacts of PEI concentration and EASD time on the separation performance of NF membrane were explored. The optimized TFC-3 NF membrane had a permeate flux of 74.5 ± 1.6 L·m −2 ·h −1 under 0.5 MPa, which was 2.5 times higher than the water flux of conventional TFC-0 membrane, while retaining up to 99.2 ± 0.5 % of Na 2 SO 4 . This work provides a prospective strategy to develop high-performance TFC membranes with great extensive progress for seawater purification.

Osmotic energy has emerged as a highly promising renewable energy source due to its abundant reserves, environmental sustainability, and widespread availability. While the influences of conventional environmental factors such as temperature and pH on the performance of osmotic energy conversion membranes have been extensively studied, their performance and stability under harsh mechanical conditions, such as ultrasonic vibration, puncture, and stretching, remain poorly understood. To overcome this limitation, we developed innovative MXene/poly( p -phenylene-benzodioxazole) nanofibers (PBONF)-polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) (MXP-PSS) composite membranes by integrating rigid PSS-functionalized PBONF with negatively charged MXene nanosheets using a precisely regulated surface charge modification and interfacial engineering strategy. The resulting membrane exhibits exceptional mechanical properties with a longitudinal tensile strength of 299.27 ± 8.20 MPa and transverse puncture resistance of 1057.65 KPa, which is far superior to that of pure MXene membranes, as corroborated by finite element simulation. More importantly, the membrane demonstrates superior osmotic energy conversion performance, achieving peak power densities of 15.18 W/m 2 and 67.57 W/m 2 under 50-fold and 500-fold salinity gradients, respectively, while maintaining excellent ion selectivity (0.87 and 0.79) . Notably, the membrane retains stable power generation even under extreme conditions including ultrasonic vibration, mechanical stretching, and wide pH ranges , demonstrating unprecedented environmental durability. This work presents a breakthrough in developing highly mechanical, charge-tunable nanofluidic membranes for efficient osmotic energy harvesting in complex environments.

A novel and simple strategy to prevent swelling, disintegration, cracking and peeling-off of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) film in water was developed. This strategy was based on the film of a conducting polymer, poly(acrylic acid modified EDOT-co-EDOT):PSS (poly(EDOT-co-EDOT-AA):PSS). The film had high soaking stability, good adhesive ability, and high flexibility, which are crucial to maintaining long-term electrode stability in water of the PEDOT:PSS film. The most widely studied novel carbon nanomaterial, graphene, and a unique and versatile clay nanomaterial, halloysite, were introduced into poly(EDOT-co-EDOT-AA):PSS aqueous dispersion to prepare organic polymer–inorganic nanocomposites. Use of poly(EDOT-co-EDOT-AA):PSS film and its composite films as electrode coatings enabled long-term high performance of the film electrodes and provided high electrode stability and high adhesive ability. The structure, optical, flexibility, conductivity properties and morphology of poly(EDOT-co-EDOT-AA):PSS and its composites were systematically investigated. The performance of poly(EDOT-co-EDOT-AA):PSS film and its composite films, and their electrodes in sensing applications was also evaluated. The as-prepared electrochemical electrodes displayed high electrocatalytic activity in the detection of epinephrine, tryptophan, maleic hydrazide, and vitamin B6, as well as high sensing stability. The results indicated that poly(EDOT-co-EDOT-AA):PSS and its composites had potential applications for various electrode coatings.

Sulfonated poly(fluorenyl ether ketone) (SPFEK) membranes have been first modified by layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of positively charged polyelectrolyte PDDA (poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)) and negatively charged PSS (poly(sodium styrene sulfonate)). The membranes were investigated as an ion exchange membrane for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRBs). The permeability of the vanadium ions in VRBs was effectively suppressed by depositing the LbL thin film on the SPFEK membrane. The permeability decreased with increasing the number of PDDA/PSS bilayers. For the membrane with two self-assembly bilayers of PDDA/PSS, 50% and 10% of vanadium ion permeability of a pristine SPFEK and Nafion 117 membranes can be afforded, respectively. Moreover, the oxidative stability of the PDDA/PSS-SPFEK composite membrane is improved remarkably compared with the pristine one. Consequently, the performance of VRBs using the PDDA/PSS-SPFEK composite membrane exhibits the highest coulombic efficiency (CE) of 82.1% at 30 mA cm−2 and the longest duration stability in the self-discharge test.

Metal–organic framework (MOF) materials have great potential for solving dye contamination problems due to their excellent organic dye adsorption properties. However, MOF adsorbents present a tremendous drawback of poor separability. Herein, core–shell Fe3O4@ZIF-8-PSS with abundant active sites and sensitive magnetic responses was synthesized in one step via simultaneously introducing imidazole ligands and poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) modifiers into the dispersion of Fe3O4 microspheres. These magnetic Fe3O4@ZIF-8-PSS microspheres can be magnetically separated and recovered in only 10 seconds. Moreover, the addition of PSS increases the active sites of Fe3O4@ZIF-8-PSS, which is more favorable for the adsorption of organic dyes. The maximum adsorption capacity for crystal violet (CV) can reach 382 mg g−1. The adsorption process was consistent with the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The adsorption mechanism of Fe3O4@ZIF-8-PSS for CV is mainly attributed to electrostatic interactions and π–π interactions. The effects of solution pH and coexisting ions on the adsorption capacity were adequately discussed. These studies suggest that Fe3O4@ZIF-8-PSS not only has efficient adsorption properties but can also be easily separated by external magnetic fields after being used for organic dye wastewater treatment, which may endow it with considerable potential for wastewater treatment.

Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) residues in milk pose a major threat to human health, so there is an urgent need for a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for the determination of trace AFM1 in milk. In this study, a competitive immunochromatographic assay (ICA), using visual (PEI/PSS) 4 red silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) as signal amplification probes, was used for the highly sensitive detection of AFM1. The (PEI/PSS) 4 red SiNPs were used to label AFM1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) to prepare ICA for the detection of AFM1. After exploring the optimal conditions of mAb and immunoprobe dosage conditions, the lowest visual detection limit (VDL) of AFM1 in phosphate-buffered saline with Tween 20 (PBST, 10 mM, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA, 3% sucrose, 1% trehalose, and 0.5% Tween 20) can reach 0.1 pg/mL. The intuitive visually visible value of AFM1 in both PBST and milk was 10 pg/mL. The results showed that the immunochromatographic system based on high chroma color (PEI/PSS) 4 red SiNPs has high sensitivity and broad application prospects for the detection of trace AFM1 residues in milk. The high chroma (PEI/PSS) 4 red SiNPs are expected to be a convenient biomarker for improving the sensitivity of immune chromatography bands.
The schematic diagram shows the detection principle. In this work, in the competitive experiment, (PEI/PSS) 4 red SiNPs were selected as visual labeling materials, and the specific antibody combined with the labeled material was selected as an immune probe. The AFM1-BSA antigen coupled with the macromolecular BSA was fixed on the T line of the nitrocellulose (NC) membrane. The AFM1 in sample solution competes with AFM1-BSA for the specific binding site of immune probe. The detection sensitivity of this method for AFM1 is obtained by judging the change of the red signal intensity produced by the positive sample, compared with the color at the T line of the negative sample.

This study explored the depth treatment of desphenly chloridazon (DPC) wastewater by a novel synergetic dual-electrodes electrocatalytic (SDEs) system which consisted of Ni–Sb–SnO 2 /Ti anode (NSSTA) and PEDOT/PSS-CNTs modified activated carbon air diffusion cathode (PP-CNTs AC ADC). NSSTA exhibited an enhanced capability to produce reactive oxygen species (·OH and O 3 ), its O 3 production increased to 6.54 mg/L. PP-CNTs AC ADC was observed to have improved activity of catalyzing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with 648.23 mg/L H 2 O 2 generated. Owing to the synergetic effect of O 3 and H 2 O 2 , additional ·OH was obtained in SDEs system through the electro-peroxone reaction. Compared with the single-electrode electrocatalytic (SE) systems, the SDEs system showed superior pesticide degradation performance , higher mineralization current efficiency (MCE) and lower energy consumption (EC). In the SDEs system, the optimal 91.7% of DPC removal efficiency and 90.7% of DPC mineralization efficiency were obtained within 150 min by electrocatalytic oxidation of 17.5 ppm and 25 ppm pesticide wastewater at the current density of 11.94 mA/cm 2 , respectively. The treated water showed reduced acute toxicity than that of the raw wastewater, which suggested that the SDEs system is a promising technology for depth treatment of the pesticide industry effluent with simultaneous decontamination and detoxification realized.
