Lithium–ion batteries (LIBs) has been developed over the last three decades. Increased amount of silicon (Si) is added into graphite anode to increase the energy density of LIBs. However, the amount of Si is limited, due to its structural instability and poor electronic conductivity so a novel approach is needed to overcome these issues. In this work, the synthesized chromium silicide (CrSi 2 ) doped Si nanoparticle anode material achieves an initial capacity of 1729.3 mAh g −1 at 0.2C and retains 1085 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles. The new anode also shows fast charge capability due to the enhanced electronic conductivity provided by CrSi 2 dopant, delivering a capacity of 815.9 mAh g −1 at 1C after 1000 cycles with a capacity degradation rate of <0.05% per cycle. An in situ transmission electron microscopy is used to study the structural stability of the CrSi 2 -doped Si, indicating that the high control of CrSi 2 dopant prevents the fracture of Si during lithiation and results in long cycle life. Molecular dynamics simulation shows that CrSi 2 doping optimizes the crack propagation path and dissipates the fracture energy. In this work a comprehensive information is provided to study the function of metal ion doping in electrode materials.

Polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PTC) materials can be used to install “brake” technology for the thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries. However, it still has poor cycle stability and obvious negative temperature coefficient (NTC) effect, which reduces the reliability of the material. In order to solve these problems, conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) modified multilayer graphene (MLG) conductive additive (PEDOT-MLG) is introduced into middle density polyethylene/carbon black (MDPE/CB) system. Compared with the conventional modification, the PEDOT modified MLG shows high conductivity and excellent thermal stability. In addition, the introduction of PEDOT-MLG into MDPE/CB can further reduce the room temperature resistivity due to the good compatibility between the modified graphene and the matrix, thus improving the PTC intensity to 7.1. What is more, MLG limits the re-aggregation of CB particles when the temperature further rises, which effectively weakens the NTC effect.

Bimetallic PdV/C nanoparticles have been synthesized by phase-transfer method for catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline electrolytes . PdV/C nanoparticles with different V contents are spherical with a mean diameter of 3–4 nm, and the addition of V expands the lattice parameter of Pd as shown by XRD . XPS analysis indicated the binding energy of Pd 0 3d peak increased by ca. 1 eV. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations results shows d-band center of Pd down-shift after V-doping. Based on the electrocatalytic results, introducing V can improve the catalytic activity for ORR, methanol crossover tolerance and stability. Especially, Pd 4 V/C shows higher initial potential (E onset = 1.027 V), excellent methanol crossover tolerance (98.03% retained) and long-term stability (81.30% retained), which are comparable with Pt/C JM . This work provides a new method of synthesizing PdV/C nanoparticles , which have the potential to be used as the cathode electrocatalysts for fuel cells.

A novel hyperbranched polymeric ionic liquid (HBP-AMIM + PF6 − ) was explored via a thiol-ene click reaction using thiol-ended hyperbranched polyesters (THBP) and 1-allyl-3-imethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (AMIMPF6). The effects of HBP-AMIM + PF6 − on the curing behavior, mechanical properties and thermal stability of benzoxazine/epoxy thermosets were investigated. The gelation time and differential scanning calorimetry of non-isothermal analysis indicated that the addition of HBP-AMIM + PF6 − significantly decreased the curing temperature of benzoxazine/epoxy thermosets. Simultaneously, the addition of HBP-AMIM + PF6 − also improved the strength, toghness and thermal properties of benzoxazine-epoxy thermosets. The addition of 3 wt% HBP-AMIM + PF6 − -2 could significantly improve the mechanical and thermal performance of thermosets compared with that of cured neat benzoxazine/epoxy resin. The tensile strength, tensile toughness, flexural strength and flexural modulus, impact strength of the thermosets were improved by about 76.6%, 279.3%, 57.8%, 22.3% and 80.4%, respectively, compared with those of cured neat resin. The toughening mechanisms was attributed to the “in situ” reinforcing and toughening mechanism.

2-Ethylhexyl nitrate (EHN) is an important material, which is produced by concentrated HNO 3 –H 2 SO 4 nitration process. But EHN is not a stable material, especially mixed with acids. To analyze the stability of EHN with concentrated acid under serious condition, four samples (pure EHN, concentrated sulfuric acid with EHN, concentrated nitric acid with EHN, and mixed acid with EHN) and three acids (sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and mixed acid) were measured by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC) in this paper. The results indicated that concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated nitric acid, and mixed acid all could decrease the onset decomposition temperature of EHN, especially concentrated sulfuric acid. DSC results also showed that the heat of EHN decomposition with nitric acid is larger than other samples. Based on ARC data, the kinetic parameters and T
D24 (temperature at which TMR
ad is 24 h) were calculated. The activation energy and T
D24 of the EHN with acids, especially with concentrate sulfuric acid, were much lower than the pure EHN. It can be concluded that acids could decrease the stability of EHN and that is an important reason for frequent accidents.

In order to simultaneously improve the dispersibility of graphene in the bismaleimide (BMI) resin and the interfacial interaction between them, the polytriazine@RGO nanocomposite (PTZ@RGO) with terminal amine was obtained by the method of one-step precipitation polymerization. The PTZ@RGO hybrid nanocomposite was then chosen as filler to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of BMI resin. Through effective surface modification, the compatibility and interface strength between graphene and BMI matrix were significantly improved, leading to the flexural strength , impact strength , anti-friction, wear resistance and thermal stability of PTZ@RGO/BMI composites were significantly improved as compared to those of neat BMI resin and RGO/BMI composites. The other properties including hardness and thermal properties of composites were all improved with increasing amount of PTZ@RGO fillers. These high performance BMI composites have a great potential for application in aerospace, mechanical engineering and other automobile brake devices.

Perovskite has shown attractive optoelectronic performances and is a potential material in lighting, anti-counterfeiting, sensor, and other optoelectronic devices. Recently, spin-coating has been widely used in fabricating high-performance perovskite films, but it is difficult to process and apply in practice. In this paper, the CsPbBr 3 /Cs 4 PbBr 6 composite perovskite quantum dots with photoluminescence quantum yield of 36% and high storage stability were prepared by using room temperature ligand-assisted precipitation method and controlling the proportion of CsBr/PbBr 2 . In addition, the composite perovskite was ground and dispersed in the inks system. After adjusting the composition and ratio of the resin components, the inks were suitable for screen printing with a viscosity of 2439 mPa•s, an initial dryness of 25 mm/30 s, and a thorough dryness of 100 s/100 μm. By printing, the perovskite films exhibited high coverage, strong green emission, and outstanding fluorescence recovery ability after exposure to water. Screen printing perovskite inks have the characteristic of being patternable, which provides a solution for preparing a perovskite film in the application.

Supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs), owing to their capacities in harnessing physicochemical properties of ionic liquid for exceptional CO 2 solubility, have emerged as a promising platform for CO 2 extraction. Despite great achievements, existing SILMs suffer from poor structural and performance stability under high-pressure or long-term operations, significantly limiting their applications. Herein, a one-step and in situ interfacial polymerization strategy is proposed to elaborate a thin, mechanically-robust, and highly-permeable polyamide armor on the SILMs to effectively protect ionic liquid within porous supports, allowing for intensifying the overall stability of SILMs without compromising CO 2 separation performance. The armored SILMs have a profound increase of breakthrough pressure by 105% compared to conventional counterparts without armor, and display high and stable operating pressure exceeding that of most SILMs previously reported. It is further demonstrated that the armored SILMs exhibit ultrahigh ideal CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of about 200 and excellent CO 2 permeation of 78 barrers upon over 150 h operation, as opposed to the full failure of CO 2 separation performance within 36 h using conventional SILMs. The design concept of armor provides a flexible and additional dimension in developing high-performance and durable SILMs, pushing the practical application of ionic liquids in separation processes.

We explore two strategies to improve the performance of hybrid solar cells fabricated using poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and colloidal PbSe nanocrystals, which have reached a 1 sun power conversion efficiency of 2.9%. Using an atomic passivation strategy towards inorganic ligand-capped nanocrystals, the electron mobilities of PbSe quantum dot films are improved from 1.95 × 10−6 cm2 V−1 s−1 to 1.15 × 10−5 cm2 V−1 s−1. Employing ultrasmall PbSe nanocrystals allows us to adjust their bandgaps towards the type II heterojunction with P3HT, thus achieving efficient charge separation and transfer between the polymer/inorganic constituents. The device performance dropped to half after 10 days' storage, and the P3HT/PbSe interface was found to play a primary role in this efficiency degradation.

In this article, semi-interpenetrating polymer network (Semi-IPNs) based on nitrile rubber (NBR) and poly(methyl methacrylate- co -butyl acrylate) (P(MMA-BA)) were synthesized. The structure and damping properties of the prepared Semi-IPNs blends were characterized and by fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG), and tensile mechanical properties. The results showed that interpenetrating network based on P(MMA-BA) and NBR was successfully obtained, which showed the improved thermal stability compared to NBR/P(MMA-BA)-based two-roll mill blends. Furthermore, Semi-IPNs showed significantly better the dynamic mechanical properties than that of the two-roll mill system. With the increasing feed ratio of BA and MMA during the preparation of Semi-IPNs, the loss peak position for P(MMA-BA) in NBR/PMMA IPNs shifted to a lower temperature from 20°C to −17°C, and when NBR in Semi-IPNs was accounted for 40 wt %, the dynamic mechanical thermal analysis showed that much more advanced damping material with wider temperature range (−30°C < T < 80°C) as tan δ > 0.45 can be achieved. Therefore, it was expected as a promising way to obtain the excellent damping materials with good oil-resisted properties according the Semi-IPNs system. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

The development of organic lithium batteries (OLBs) offers a promising opportunity for the advancement of green and sustainable energy storage systems. However, organic cathode materials face challenges in terms of conductivity, electrochemical activity, and dissolution. Here, we address these limitations by introducing a sulfur-linked carbonyl compound called poly(dichlorobenzoquinone sulfide) (PDBS), which is polymerized in situ on reduced graphene oxide by a mixed solvent thermal method. The resulting carbonyl compound electrode materials exhibit favorable properties as organic cathode materials for OLBs. After 4000 cycles at a current density of 1000 mA g −1 , the carbonyl compound electrodes exhibit a discharge capacity of 102 mAh g −1 . This remarkable performance indicates excellent stability and long cycle life, which are crucial for practical applications. These results suggest that PDBS, a designable sulfur-linked carbonyl compound, holds great promise as an effective organic cathode material for OLBs. In addition, this work provides valuable insights into improving the electrochemical performance of organic cathode materials.

Hybrid direct carbon fuel cells (HDCFCs) present its inherent and unparalleled advantages in converting chemical energy from organic waste, biomass, and coal directly into clean energy with high efficiency. However, the progress of HDCFC technology continues to be hampered by the sluggish anode reaction kinetics. Herein, an effective design strategy for HDCFC anode is proposed, a Cu-modified Sr 2 Fe 1.3 Cu 0.2 Mo 0.5 O 6-δ (SFCM) perovskite oxide is developed to meet the requirements of intermediate-temperature HDCFC anode. The Cu-doping SFCM anode demonstrates excellent redox structural stability and catalytic activity. In addition, the electrolyte-supported single cell with Cu-doping SFCM anode has improved the peak power density from 285.5 mW cm −2 to 489.3 mW cm −2 at 800 °C with activated carbon as the fuel. The significantly enhanced anode catalytic activity is primarily due to the improved interfacial activity and chemical adsorption of CO. Therefore, the present work shows an effective strategy for designing and developing novel high-performance HDCFCs anode materials .
