In this paper, nanocarbon-isolated nano-sheet silicon(Si) electrode Si@CNT/C has been developed by pyrolysis of the compound of Si and polyaniline (PANI)/CNT nanocomposite. The results suggest that CNT content in electrode plays a decisive role in the specific capacity, rate capability, and long-term cycle stability of the battery. Si@CNT(M)/C/graphite(G) electrode with high (10.8wt%) CNT content demonstrates the specific capacity of 1201 mAh·g −1 at 100 mA·g −1 current density, which is much better than 491 mAh·g −1 for the Si@CNT(S)/C/G with low (1.3wt%) CNT content. After 500 cycles, the Si@CNT(M)/C/G electrode still remains 700 mAh·g −1 specific capacity, while the Si@CNT(S)/C/G electrode decreases to 200 mAh·g −1 . This is caused by CNT conductive network in the electrode, which can maintain not only the structural stability of the Si but also the conductivity throughout the cell cycles.

Normal alkane tetracosane (C 24 ) as a representative compound containing alkyl chains was loaded into various porous materials to obtain form-stable phase change materials (PCMs). In the pores of controlled porous glasses (CPGs), silica gels (SGs), SBA-15 and KIT-6, C 24 acquired tunable phase transition temperatures. By changing the pore sizes, C 24 displayed regulated temperature windows of around 6 K (via melting) and 10 K (via solid phase transition) in the CPGs, 9 K in the SG pores (via melting) and about 13 K in SBA-15 (via melting). Phase transition temperatures, degree of supercooling and enthalpies of phase transitions exhibited linear dependence on the reverse pore diameter. The transition temperature and enthalpy change also had relevance to pore geometries. The phase sequences and solid structures of C 24 in the pores changed largely. The study provides an insight into thermal properties of nano-sized PCMs.

Seawater electrolysis is an effective way to obtain hydrogen (H 2 ) in a sustainable manner. However, the lack of electrocatalysts with high activity, stability, and selectivity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) severely hinders the development of seawater electrolysis technology. Herein, sulfur-doped nickel-iron selenide nanosheets (S-NiFeSe 2 ) were prepared by an ion-exchange strategy and served as highly active OER electrocatalyst for alkaline seawater electrolysis. The overpotential is 367 mV, and it can run stably for over 50 h at 100 mA cm −2 . Excitingly, the S-NiFeSe 2 ∥Pt/C pair exhibits cell voltage of 1.54 V at 10 mA cm −2 under alkaline seawater conditions, which can run smoothly for 100 h without decay, and the efficiency of electricity-to-hydrogen (ETH) energy conversion reaches more than 80%. Such electrode, with abundant accessible reactive sites and good corrosion resistance, is a good candidate for seawater electrolysis. Moreover, density functional theory calculations reveal that the surface sulfur atoms can activate the adjacent Ni sites and decrease the free energy changes of the associated intermediates at the adjacent Ni sites for OER, and the step of *OH → *O is the potential rate-limiting step. In this work, the true reactive site in nickel-iron selenides is the Ni sites, but not the Fe sites as commonly believed.

Zeolite X is a potential electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption material owning to its advantages of good dielectric properties, light weight and large specific surface area. Herein, high-purity zeolite X was prepared from fly ash using a green synthesis approach, in which only trace water was used and achieved zero discharge of waste water. Physiochemical properties of fabricated zeolite X were comprehensively evaluated through XRD, PSD, SEM, TG-DSC and BET test. XRD pattern shows the successful preparation of zeolite X with good crystallinity and high purity, and the average particle size is ~ 2.45 μm, which conforms to Gaussian distributions. The fabricated zeolite X exhibits typical octahedral structure and good thermal stability. It is noteworthy that the specific surface area is up to 473.56 m 2 /g, representing porous structure, which is beneficial to EMW attenuation. What’s more, the abundant crystal water and adsorbed water existing in the sample is conductive to dipole polarization, which further consume EMW energy. The effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of the synthesized zeolite X is 2.08 GHz (13.36–15.44 GHz) at the thickness of 2.5 mm. This study provides an eco-friendly approach to change waste into valuables, and moreover the synthesized zeolite X is a potential EMW absorbing material.

A modified carbon nanotube composite film was designed and prepared by self-assembled molecular film technology. The carbon nanotubes modified by 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxy-silane (KH560) were grafted onto a silicon substrate by using N-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylethyl-enediamine (DA) molecules as an intermediate connecting layer. Compared with the silicon surface, the surface wettability of the modified carbon nanotube composite thin film changes from super-hydrophilic to hydrophobic. At the nanoscale, the surface adhesion and friction forces decreased by nearly 91% and 87%, respectively, and at the microscale, the friction coefficient was reduced by 84%. The anti-wear lifetime is prolonged to 72 min under an applied load of 1 N, which is over 35 times longer than that of silicon. Due to the great wear-resistant properties of modified carbon nanotubes, they are expected to be widely used in micro/nanoelectromechanical systems.

We report a successful fabrication of 0.6Ca 0.61 Nd 0.26 TiO 3 –0.4Nd(Zn 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 3 (hereinafter abbreviated as 6CNT–4NCT) microwave ceramics with good sintering activity and desired dielectric properties from EDTA-gel combustion synthesized powders in this paper. The as-synthesized nanopowders have been characterized by X–ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformation infrared (FT–IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, respectively. The sintering behavior and dielectric performance have been evaluated on the sintered ceramics. The as-obtained product with amorphous structure could be directly crystallized and produced pure 6CNT–4NCT solid solution phase with orthorhombic perovskite structure at a relatively low temperature of 700 °C, without formation of any intermediate phase. TEM images revealed that homogeneous and well dispersed spherical-shaped nanostructure with an average particle size of 23.8 nm was formed at 800 °C. Well-dense 6CNT–4NCT bulk ceramics with 98.8% relative density were obtained at a relatively low sintering temperature of 1225 °C due to high sintering activity of nanopowders. Moreover, the bulk ceramics exhibited a higher quality factor ( Q × f ) value than those prepared via the conventional solid-state reaction method. Desired microwave dielectric properties were achieved at 1200 °C: dielectric constant ε r = 57.2, Q × f = 59,360 GHz, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency τ f = + 1.95 ppm/°C. This study indicates that the EDTA-gel combustion route is a convenient, low-cost, and interesting route to fabricate high-quality microwave ceramics for practical applications.

In this study, Polyethyleneimine modified magnetic chitosan (MCS-PEI) was synthesized by grafting polyethyleneimine onto chitosan and adding magnetic Fe 3 O 4 with sodium polyphosphate as crosslinking agent. The structure of the prepared material was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDS, XRD and XPS, which showed MCS-PEI was successfully synthesized. After a series of single factor experiments, the adsorption data fitted well with the Langmuir model ( R 2 = 0.99), being the maximum adsorption capacity equal 181.8 mg g −1 . The pseudo-second-order model ( R 2 = 0.997) and Dubinin-Radushkevich model ( R 2 = 0.9598) indicated that the adsorption process was chemical adsorption. And thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption was spontaneous and exothermic. The adsorption rate decreased by no more than 4% after the four adsorption–desorption experiments. This work illustrates that MCS-PEI is an environmental friendly, efficient and low-cost adsorbent.

In this research, the inhibition mechanism of a pairs of homoisoflavonoid analogues (6-aldehydo-isoophiopogonanone A (AIO-A) and 6-aldehydo-isoophiopogonanone B (AIO-B)) on tyrosinase (Tyr) was investigated by multi-spectroscopic techniques combined with molecular docking. The results demonstrated that AIO-A suppressed the activity of Tyr in a reversible competitive-inhibition with a half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of (12.67 ± 2.52) × 10 –5 molˑL −1 , while AIO-B was a reversible mixed-inhibition with IC50 of (4.81 ± 0.74) × 10 –5 molˑL −1 . AIO-A/AIO-B bound to Tyr driven by the intermolecular interactions, including van der Waals interaction, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction, thereby resulted in a secondary structure change of Tyr and its intrinsic fluorescence quenching. The molecular docking revealed that an aldehyde oxygen atom in AIO-A and methoxyphenyl in AIO-B formed coordination with two Cu ions in the active center of Tyr protein. It can be deduced that the coordination with two Cu ions may prevent the entrance of substrate and then inhibit the catalytic activity of Tyr. The research might provide new perspectives on the inhibition mechanism of AIO-A and AIO-B on Tyr and functional research for the prevention and treatment of pigmented skin diseases and anti-browning of homoisoflavonoids as a food supplement.

Abstract In this study, polyaniline (PANI) is prepared by means of chemical oxidization polymerization and directly loaded on the modified fiber ball (m-FB) to obtain macroscale polyaniline/modified fiber ball (PANI/m-FB) composite, and then its removal ability of Cr(VI) is investigated. The effects of different parameters such as contact time, pH value and initial concentration on Cr(VI) removal efficiency are discussed. The experimental results illustrate that the favorable pH value is 5.0 and the maximum removal capacity is measured to be 293.13 mg g −1 . Besides, PANI/m-FB composites can be regenerated and reused after being treated with strong acid. The kinetic study indicates that the adsorption procedure is mainly controlled by chemical adsorption. More importantly, the macroscale of composites can avoid secondary pollution efficiently. Benefiting from the low cost, easy preparation in large scale, environmentally friendly, excellent recycling performance as well as high removal ability, PANI/m-FB composites exhibit a potential possibility to remove Cr(VI) from industrial waste water. Graphic Abstract The polyaniline (PANI) was coated on modified fiber ball (m-FB) to remove Cr(VI) in waste water, and this kind of PANI/m-FB composites can avoid secondary pollution efficiently due to its macrostructure. Furthermore, the removal capacity can reach to 291.13 mg/g and can be multiple reused.

An ambient-curable hybrid resin (ACHR) terminated with trimethoxysilane functional groups, synthesized through a simple ring-opening reaction between 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH560) and 4,4′-methylenebis (cyclohexylamine) (PACM), was applied to the surface of a transparent organic polymer to produce a robust, flexible, and transparent protective hybrid film, moisture cured at room temperature. The structure, morphology, and optical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the obtained hybrid film were evaluated. The hybrid film allowed the transmittance of more than 87% of visible light (at 600 nm), maintaining almost the same high transparency as bare PET film. The unique flexible segments and rigid segments in the inorganic–organic hybrid structure of the film realized superior resistance to bending and scratching. The hybrid film-coated PET demonstrated excellent flexibility, with an extremely low bending radius, illustrated by wrapping around a 1-mm mandrel bar without cracking. In addition, the hybrid film exhibited superior pencil hardness (of 2H) and excellent wear durability, i.e., no scratching after being subjected to 200 abrasion cycles using #0000 steel wool under a 19.6 kPa load. The robust, flexible, and transparent protective film developed here, and its simple and efficient preparation method, should have extensive application prospects.

Inorganic perovskite absorbers are promising candidates for next-generation photovoltaics due to their good thermal and light stabilities. Halide-mixed CsPbI x Br 3 − x reach a compromise between its structural tolerance and absorption edge, yet the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of the asfabricated cells can be considerably limited by the nonideal quality of solution-processed films. Here we demonstrated a fumigation strategy on colloidal perovskite films using dual- O -donor ethyl acetate (EA). By in-situ monitoring this stage with grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering technology, we reveal that EA fumigation would impose ripening barrier on colloidal inorganic perovskites and hence slow down the nucleation rate, leading to an intermediate state for processing high-crystallinity and oriented perovskite films with improved photophysical properties. An optimized PCE of 16.6% was finally yielded upon wide-bandgap (1.9 eV) perovskite absorber.

In order to refine the microstructure and improve the performance of direct energy deposited (DED) additively manufactured Al–Mg–Sc–Zr alloy, TiC-modified Al–Mg–Sc–Zr composites were prepared by DED and the effect of TiC content on the microstructure and performance was studied. In the absence of TiC particle, the microstructure of Al–Mg–Sc–Zr alloy prepared by DED consisted of fine grains with average size of 8.36 μm, and well-dispersed nano-Al 3 (Sc,Zr) particles inside the grains and Mg 2 Si phase along the grain boundaries. With the addition of 1 wt% TiC, the microstructure of TiC/Al–Mg–Sc–Zr prepared by DED became finer apparently compared with that without TiC; while the further increase of TiC content to 3 wt%, the microstructure of TiC/Al–Mg–Sc–Zr prepared by DED became coarser with appearance of a new kind of needle-like (Ti,Zr) 5 Si 3 phase. Also, the addition of TiC decreased the porosity of Al–Mg–Sc–Zr prepared by DED. Simultaneously, after the addition of TiC, the tensile strength increased from 283.25 MPa to 344.98–361.51 MPa, and the elongation increased from 3.61% to 9.58–14.10%. The potential mechanism of the microstructure evolution and strength improvement was discussed. This research will provide new insights into the available metal matrix composites by laser additive manufacturing (LAM).
