In this work, we developed a single-step process to cast epoxy composites having a high thermal conductivity but a low electric conductivity. Performance of the epoxy was improved by incorporating diamond microparticles that were covered with few-layer graphene sheets on surfaces. We found not only did this modified filler improve the dispersion of diamond in the polymer matrix but it also decreased the interfacial thermal resistance between the diamond and epoxy while preserving an excellent electrical insulation. Graphene on diamond particle surfaces was synthesized by a vacuum-based heating procedure. After 70 wt% of diamond fillers were added, we obtained a composite having a thermal conductivity of 2.85 W m−1 k−1, which is 101% better than that of the composite with 70 wt% pure diamond as the filler, and 1190% better than that of a neat epoxy, with electrical resistivity maintained at 2.2 × 1010 Ω m.

YSZ/(Ni, Al) composite coatings were deposited on Inconel600 superalloy with ball peening (BP) and without (non BP) treatment using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique, followed by vacuum sintering method. The structures and phase evolution of the coatings were studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The relation between microstructures and properties of the BPs-coated samples was discussed. The results show that the adhesion strength and gain mass of the BPs-coated samples with isothermal oxidation at 1100 °C for 100 h are 3.3 N and 0.00817 mg/cm 2 , respectively, while those of the non-BPs-coated sample are 2.6 N and 0.00559 mg/cm 2 , respectively. The EDS mapping analysis indicates that an obvious outward diffusion of Cr from the substrate to BPs coated samples occurs after isothermal oxidation. The BPs-coated sample shows the superior adhesion and oxidation resistance compared with non-BPs-coated samples.

The diffusion bonding between Ti and Ni was investigated in the presence and absence of an imposed electric current. Bonding was carried out over the temperature range of 873–1123 K and the current density range of 255–350 A/cm 2 . The formation and sequence of evolution of the three intermetallic phases, TiNi 3 , TiNi, and Ti 2 Ni, were investigated and discussed in light of calculations of Gibbs free energies of formation and interfacial energies associated with their nucleation. Within the experimental times and in the presence of a current, the growth of the three phases was parabolic. The evolution of the TiNi phase required an incubation period, while the relatively high growth rate of TiNi 3 suggests the possibility of another mechanism. The growth of all phases was enhanced by the application of a direct current, with no apparent dependence on its direction.

Backing materials play important role in enhancing the acoustic performance of an ultrasonic transducer. Most backing materials prepared by conventional methods failed to show both high acoustic impedance and attenuation, which however determine the bandwidth and axial resolution of acoustic transducer, respectively. In the present work, taking advantage of the structural feature of 3D graphene foam as a confined space for dense packing of tungsten spheres with the assistance of centrifugal force, the desired structural requirement for high impedance is obtained. Meanwhile, superior thermal conductivity of graphene contributes to the acoustic attenuation via the conversion of acoustic waves to thermal energy. The tight contact between tungstate spheres, epoxy matrix, or graphene makes the acoustic wave depleted easily for the absence of air barrier. The as-prepared 3DG/W80 wt %/epoxy film in 1 mm, prepared using ∼41 μm W spheres in diameter, not only displays acoustic impedance of 13.05 ± 0.11 MRayl but also illustrates acoustic attenuation of 110.15 ± 1.23 dB/cm MHz. Additionally, the composite film exhibits a high acoustic absorption coefficient, which is 94.4% at 1 MHz and 100% at 3 MHz, respectively. Present composite film outperforms most of the reported backing materials consisting of metal fillers/polymer blending in terms of the acoustic impedance and attenuation.

Immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) technique is frequently used in the purification of histidine-tagged (His-tagged) recombinant proteins. In this study, nickel(II)-immobilized carboxyl cotton chelator (CCC-Ni 2+ ) fibers was synthesized by a simple method based on the coordination effect between Ni 2+ and carboxyl group. The nickel content of the CCC-Ni 2+ fibers was determined to be 5 times larger than that of Ni 2+ -immobilized sulfhydryl cotton fiber (SCF-Ni 2+ ) fibers developed in our previous work. The prepared CCC-Ni 2+ fibers were then applied for the selective and rapid separation of His-tagged protein from escherichia coli ( E. coli ) cell lysates on the basis of the high affinity of Ni 2+ to 6 × His with a lab-in-syringe format. Benefiting from the good biological compatibility and high nickel content, the results showed that CCC-Ni 2+ fibers were able to selectively capture His-tagged proteins from complex E. coli cell lysates and exhibited a relatively large adsorption capacity toward His-tagged protein. The recoveries of His-tagged GFP in E. coli cell lysates were in the range of 89.8%-106.7% with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 9.4% (intra-day) and 10.3% (inter-day). Taken together, this efficient approach for the purification of recombinant proteins extends the application of CCC-based fibrous materials in biological analysis.

Stretchable strain sensors, as crucial components in wearable intelligent devices, have become one of the recent research hotspots with promising potential in human-interactive, personal health monitoring, and flexible smartphones. Graphene-based materials have been reported for high-performance strain sensors. However, there still remain some limitations such as their high production cost and low sensitivity and stretchability. Herein, a highly stretchable and ultra-sensitive strain sensor based on nickel nanoparticles and a graphene-coated polyurethane sponge (Ni@GPUS) ternary hybrid material has been reported. Herein, Ni@GPUS was fabricated via a series of techniques including preparation of a graphene-coated polyurethane sponge, electrodeposition of nickel nanoparticles, and encapsulation by polydimethylsiloxane. The obtained sensors can be stretched up to 65% and exhibit a remarkable gauge factor of up to 3360.09. Furthermore, a fast signal response (<100 ms) and 1000 cycles of stretching and bending prove the rapid steady state response and long-term durability of the sensor, respectively. In addition, the working mechanisms of the sensor have been proposed. Moreover, the strain sensor was used as a bodily motion sensor to monitor finger bending and facial muscle tension, showing great potential in the fields of flexible, stretchable, and wearable electronics.

Ni-Cr-Co-Ti-V-Al high-entropy alloy coating on Ti-6Al-4V was synthesized by laser surface alloying. The coating is composed of a B2 matrix and (Co, Ni)Ti 2 compounds with few β-Ti phases. Focused ion beam technique was utilized to prepare TEM sample and TEM observations agree well with XRD and SEM results. The formation of HEA phases is due to high temperature and rapid cooling rate during laser surface alloying. The thermodynamic parameters, ΔH mix , ΔS mix and δ as well as Δχ, should be used to predict the formation of the BCC solid solution, but they are not the strict criteria. Especially when Δχ reaches a high value (≥ 10%), BCC HEA will be partially decomposed, leading to the formation of (Co, Ni)Ti 2 compound phases.

A coordinatively unsaturated copper–nitrogen architecture in copper metalloenzymes is essential for its capability to catalyze the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the stabilization of analogous active sites in realistic catalysts remains a key challenge. Herein, we report a facile route to synthesize highly doped and exposed copper(I)–nitrogen (Cu(I)–N) active sites within graphene (Cu–N©C) by pyrolysis of coordinatively saturated copper phthalocyanine, which is inert for the ORR, together with dicyandiamide. Cu(I)–N is identified as the active site for catalyzing the ORR by combining physicochemical and electrochemical studies, as well as density function theory calculations. The graphene matrix could stabilize the high density of Cu(I)–N active sites with a copper loading higher than 8.5 wt%, while acting as the electron-conducting path. The ORR activity increases with the specific surface area of the Cu–N©C catalysts due to more exposed Cu(I)–N active sites. The optimum Cu–N©C catalyst demonstrates a high ORR activity and stability, as well as an excellent performance and stability in zinc–air batteries with ultralow catalyst loading.

In this study, we co-fabricated the Ni-based nanofibers using an electrospinning technique. The effects of viscosity, applied voltage and distance from needle to the collection plate on the fiber morphology were investigated. The fibers were sintered at temperatures ranging from 350 °C to 1200 °C and the results indicated that the crystallization was completed at 800 °C and the particle size increased with the temperature. The porosity of nanostructure can reach over 50% before reduction of the nickel oxide, which increased firstly with the temperature and then decreased over 800 °C. The nanocrystallization of an anode was helpful to maximize the electrochemical reaction sites for restraining the activation polarization and also to enlarge pores for rapid gas diffusion in fuel cells.

The research of a robust catalytic system based on single NiOx electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) remains a huge challenge. Particularly, the factors that dominate the catalytic properties of NiOx-based hybrids for HER have not been clearly demonstrated. Herein, a convenient protocol for the fabrication of NiOx@bamboo-like carbon nanotube hybrids (NiOx@BCNTs) is designed. The hybrids exhibit superb catalytic ability and considerable durability in alkaline solution. A benchmark HER current density of 10 mA cm–2 has been achieved at an overpotential of ∼79 mV. In combination with the experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, this for the first time definitely validates that the inherent high Ni0 ratio and the Ni0 on the interface of Ni/NiO play a vital role in the outstanding catalytic performance. Especially, the Ni0 on the interface of Ni/NiO performs superior activity for water splitting compared with that of bulk Ni0. These conclusions provide guidance for the rational design of the future non-noble metallic catalysts.
