To enhance the reduced graphene oxide hydrogels' capacitive performance, many modifiers are used to add doped element into the materials and improve the structure. The isomers of aminophenol which contain amino and hydroxyl groups on the benzene ring are employed as structure regulator and modifier to synthesize high-performance reduced graphene oxide hydrogels. The influences of preparation conditions including ratios of graphene oxide to aminophenol isomers, temperature, reaction times on the samples’ structure and properties have been investigated. The results show that the oligomer of o-aminophenol is formed on reduced graphene oxide sheets while the molecules of p, m-aminophenol are bound to the sheets; and that the hydrogel prepared in the presence of p-aminophenol has larger specific surface area, total pore volume , specific capacitance and good rate capability (74.0% of 427.0 F g −1 retains at 100 mV s −1 ) than other. The cells assembled by the optimized hydrogels exhibit the energy density of 14.07 Wh kg −1 at power density of 124.3 W kg −1 , and 4.96 Wh kg −1 at 6.78 kW kg −1 . Furthermore, 92.2% of initial capacitance can be retained after 20,000 cycles for the cells assembled by the optimal hydrogel. This kind of material may be found its use in energy storage field.

The unique microstructure of biomaterials provides inspiration in materials structure design and performance breakthroughs. Here we prepared a MoAlB reinforced Al matrix composites with laminated structure and strong interfacial bonding. This work mainly focuses on the relationship between tribological properties of the MoAlB/Al laminated composites and the MoAlB layer orientation. The results show that the tribological properties of the composites deeply depend on the relation of sliding direction VS. the MoAlB layer orientation, while the dependency gradually decreases with the MoAlB content increasing. The friction coefficient and wear rate of the composites can be decreased by 55.5% and 95.1%, lower than those of pure Al, when 15 vol% MoAlB reinforcement is added. The friction and wear mechanisms of the MoAlB/Al laminated composites are proposed, and the outstanding tribological properties are ascribed to the formation of tribochemical worn film and different stress states caused by the laminated structure.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have received increasing attention due to their unprecedented potential for energy-efficient gas separation. Compared with other MOF materials (like ZIF), fabrication and microstructural manipulation of high-performance Ti-MOF-based membranes, although being very attractive due to their excellent chemical and thermal stability, remained relatively less investigated due to the limitations of available titanium sources and heating modes. In this study, different Ti sources (TPOT, TiS 2 , and MXene) and heating modes (conventional heating, multi-mode microwave heating, and single-mode microwave heating) were examined for the preparation of NH 2 -MIL-125 membranes showing diverse microstructures and gas separation performances. The present work revealed that for the first time, MXene , the new two-dimensional Ti carbide , could be used as Ti source for synthesizing MOF membranes. The best performing NH 2 -MIL-125 membranes, which were obtained with TiS 2 as the metal source under single-mode microwave heating, exhibited the highest H 2 /CO 2 selectivity (ca. 17.2) as well as considerable H 2 permeance (1.7 × 10 −7 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 ), owing to an enhanced non-thermal effect of single-mode microwave heating and balanced dissolution rate of TiS 2 .

Using nitrogen, the morphological evolution of iron oxide/alkoxide particles was investigated by altering the reaction temperature in a one-pot solvothermal synthesis , resulting in a series of particles with different shapes, such as smooth sheet-like, rough sheet-like and cubic particles. The particle shape began to transform at 180 °C due to the altered crystallization and compositions, accompanied by the evolution of the magnetic properties without post-calcination. Based on the above research, large flower-like particles could be prepared by a two-step heating process. In virtue of the structural and morphological advantages, the flower-like particles were applied in fabricating a superwetting surface.

The successful one-pot synthesis of MCM-41/MFI composite is mainly concentrated on the trivalent heteroatom of Al 3+ and Fe 3+ , however there are almost no reports about the one-pot synthesis of Ti-MCM-41/MFI composite. In this work, we reported the one-pot synthesis of Ti-MCM-41/MFI composite with a temperature-gradient hydrothermal strategy using hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide CTAB and silicalite-1 seed as structure directing agents as well as ammonia solution as alkali source, and its application as heterogeneous catalyst in the cyclohexene epoxidation reactions. The impact of Si/Ti molar ratio and ammonia dosage as well as CTAB amount on the formation and property of Ti-MCM-41/MFI composite were systematically investigated. In addition, a possible partial transformation mechanism of Ti-MCM-41/MFI composite sample was proposed. The synthesized Ti-HMZ-50-N3.77-Se0.05 sample with ordered mesoporous structure and high content of framework titanium active centers revealed the eminent cyclohexene epoxidation performance, achieving a 32.51 % of cyclohexene conversion and a 61.27 % selectivity of cyclohexene oxide within 5 h of reaction.

Single crystals of three new organic–inorganic hybrid compounds, tri[1-(diaminomethylene)uronium] hexachlorobismuthate ((C 2 H 7 N 4 S) 3 BiCl 6 ·H 2 O, HATU-BCH), bis[1-(diaminomethylene)uronium] pentabromobismuthate, ((C 2 H 7 N 4 S) 2 BiBr 5 , HATU-BB), and bis [3,5-diamino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-2-ium] pentaiodobismuthate ((C 2 H 5 N 4 S) 2 BiI 5 , OHATU-BI), have been successfully grown by slow evaporation method. Their structures were determined by single - crystal X-ray diffraction, in which all anion sublattice structures consist of hexahalobismuthates octahedra with different connection modes involving isolated, shared-corner, and shared-edge. The spectra characters were studied by Infrared and Raman spectra, which interpreted by calculation of the density functional theory (DFT) method and diffuse reflectance spectra. Thermal properties were characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry.

A hybrid water-soluble humics-based binder (humics/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)) was studied to enhance the electrochemical performance of a Li-ion battery cathode (LiFePO 4 ) in this work. Molecular dynamics simulations of binder active fractions with related materials (LiFePO 4 and Al) were performed to explore the binding mechanisms. Humics serve to connect the active material and provide a conducting bridge in the cathode. To improve the adhesion between the particles and current collector, CMC is added as an auxiliary fraction with a mass ratio of humics to CMC of 3:1. The scanning electron microscope results indicate that the morphology of the electrode with the hybrid humics/CMC binder is more uniform than that of electrodes with conventional polyvinylidene fluoride and CMC binders. The electrochemical performance and cycling stability of the cathode materials are obviously enhanced. The reversible specific capacity can reach 152.3 mAh g −1 at 0.5 °C after 100 cycles. The rate capability is greatly improved, with a specific capacity as high as 105 mAh g −1 at 8 °C. The humics/CMC composite can be regarded as a novel, environmentally friendly and high-efficiency binder for application in Li-ion batteries.

Antimony (Sb) is an attractive anode material for lithium-ion batteries with high theoretical capacity. However, its practical application is greatly hindered by the rapid capacity fading due to the large volume expansion during lithiation. Tuning the morphology of active materials at the nanoscale or designing reasonable components is essential to address this issue. Employing an antimony sulfide nanorod as semi-sacrificial template, here, we successfully synthesize one-dimensional MoS 2 sheets-decorated Sb@Sb 2 S 3 @C(MoS 2 -Sb@Sb 2 S 3 @C) nano-structure via facile thermal carbonization of Mo-polypyrrole complex coating film. During annealing, metallic Sb from the partial reduction of Sb 2 S 3 nanorods is embedded into amorphous carbon nanotubes that are derived from polypyrrole and simultaneously MoS 2 nanosheets forms on the surface of Sb-Sb 2 S 3 -C nanostructures. This unique hierarchical tubular composite not only can serve as robust skeleton frameworks for accommodating volume changes of metallic Sb and Sb 2 S 3 during cell cycling, but also are characterized by high electronic conductivity (because of the amorphous carbon nanotubes and metallic Sb) and abundant active sites, both of which are beneficial for the improvement of Li-ion storage properties. As expected, the MoS 2 -Sb@Sb 2 S 3 @C composite exhibit a high specific capacity (1596 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 ), high rate capability (481 mAh g −1 at 5 A g −1 and 355 mAh g −1 at 8 A g −1 ), and stable cycling performance (760 mAh g −1 maintained after 100 cycles at 1 A g −1 ). Our work potentially sheds some light on future development of alloy-type anodes for battery applications.

Carbon nanosheets (CNS) have garnered significant interest as anode materials for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to the excellent potassium storage kinetics and rate performance. Moreover, tuning the thickness of CNS can enhance the potassium storage performance by exposing abundant surface active sites and shortening the K + migration path. Herein, crystallization-induced thickness tuning of carbon nanosheets in polyvinyl pyrrolidone-potassium chloride (PVP-KCl) solution is reported to enhance the fast potassium storage. PVP with varying molecular weights is employed to induce the crystallization behavior of KCl, leading to the formation of KCl grains with controllable sizes. Concurrently, these KCl grains act as hard templates for dispersing the PVP molecules to fabricate carbon nanosheets on the surface during annealing. PVP with high molecular weight is beneficial for hindering ion migration to reduce crystal sizes, which can decrease the thickness of carbon nanosheets. The ultrathin structure exposes abundant potassium storage sites, endowing CNS with high reversible capacity (359.0 mAh/g at 100 mA/g). The reduction in the migration path of K + ions facilitate rapid ion and electron transport kinetics, resulting in rate performance with a capacity of 181.9 mAh/g at 1 A/g. Our work extends the application of the crystallization-induced strategy for controllable designing carbon nanosheets, and puts forward some conceptions on improving the potassium storage performance of carbon anode materials.

Endotaxial nanostructures can reduce lattice thermal conductivity through enhancing phonon scattering without affecting electrical transport, leading to a high thermoelectric performance. On the other hand, band engineering can enhance electrical transport by improving the Seebeck coefficient through valence band convergence and the resonance level. In this paper, the synergistic effect of band engineering and endotaxial nanostructures was implemented in SnTe thermoelectric materials by alloying with AgCuTe and doping with Indium. The positron annihilation lifetime spectra show that the vacancy concentration in SnTe was reduced after alloying with AgCuTe, which led to a decreasing hole concentration and improved carrier mobility. Additionally, the diffusion of Ag in the matrix during the preparation can facilitate valence band convergence. Therefore, the power factor of SnTe is greatly increased to 18 μW cm−1 K−2 at 800 K, which can be further increased to 21.4 μW cm−1 K−2 at 800 K after In doping due to resonance level formation. Meanwhile, Cu2Te endotaxial nanostructures also can be observed in the TEM image after SnTe alloying with AgCuTe. So, the lattice thermal conductivity significantly reduced to 0.93 W m−1 K −1 in In-doped and AgCuTe-alloyed SnTe. Finally, we obtain an enhanced ZT value of 1.14 in Sn1.02In0.01Te–1%AgCuTe at 800 K.

The interactions of ions and molecules with material surface are highly dependent on the surface properties of the material. Therefore, the distribution of ions or molecules near the material surface may be affected by the surface properties. This phenomenon can be significant enough for controlling the structure of a material synthesized in the sub-micrometer scale confinement space of a template. This work confirms that inverse opals are perfect templates for offering confinement space, while their different surface properties can strongly affect ion and block copolymer distribution in the confinement space. This surface effect principle can be used for the controlled synthesis of colloids with complex composition. As an example, four kinds of mesoporous magnetic bioactive glass colloids with ordered mesopores, core–shell structure, open surface pores, or disordered mesopores are prepared by using polystyrene and carbon inverse opal templates. This work reveals that inverse opal templates possess great advantage in controlled synthesizing colloidal structures due to their surface effect on ions and molecules and confinement space.

Hollow carbon nanosheets with predominant mesopores have been demonstrated as a promising electrode material for supercapacitor , but their low specific surface area with relatively low micropore proportion limits their specific capacitance and energy density . Herein, we develop a novel extrusion plant microtube strategy to synthesize micron-sized nitrogen-doped hollow porous carbon nanosheets (MNHPCS) from dandelion fluff having the specific natural thin-wall and hollow tubular bundled structure through high-pressure extrusion, carbonization and KOH activation. The optimized MNHPCS displays strutted bilayer nanosheet structure, large SSA of 1593 m 2 g −1 , high micoporosity of 71.2 % and high heteroatom content (5.2 at.% for N, 7.0 at.% for O). Importantly, MNHPCS prepared by the new technique overcomes the drawbacks of hollow carbon nanosheets and presents an excellent capacitance of 378 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 and rate capability of 57 % at 80 A g −1 in 6 M KOH. Furthermore, the energy density of MNHPCS//MNHPCS based supercapacitor in EMIMBF 4 can reach up to 84 Wh kg −1 . Most importantly, MNHPCS can be easily achieved from various plant wastes having hollow tubular structure, which would provide a clearly method on selecting plant precursors for producing hollow porous carbon nanosheets applied on supercapacitors.
