In this paper, three new hybrid phase transition compounds, [Hmpy]CdBr3 (1, Hmpy = N-methylpyrrolidinuium cation), [Hmpy]2CdBr4 (2) and [Hmpy]3CdBr3·CdBr4 (3), were synthetized by means of regulating the ratio of reactants. Systematic characterizations consisting of variable temperature X-ray single crystal diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dielectric measurements reveal that 1 with infinite one-dimensional (1D) [CdBr3]n− chains undergoes a phase transition around 278 K; 2 with isolated [CdBr4]2− tetrahedrons exhibits a high-temperature phase transition close to 367 K, accompanied by prominent switchable dielectric behavior. Interestingly, 1D [CdBr3]n− chains and isolated [CdBr4]2− tetrahedrons both exist in 3, associated with a phase transition at 320 K. The phase transitions in the three compounds are originated from the order-disorder transitions of the Hmpy cation. It is expected that our finding would promote the development of hybrid dielectric transition materials with adjustable properties.

Carbonaceous nanoparticles (CNPs), including carbon black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanopiece, were selected as nanoadditives for investigating the rheological behavior dependence of their polymer-based composites on morphological and interfacial structure. Polypropylene (PP) was adopted as matrix and a series of contents of CNPs were used for sample compounding. With identical concentration, the morphological structure of CNPs was emphasized as the dominant effect affecting the shear viscosity and the compressibility of PP/CNPs melts. The viscosity dependence on the CNPs contents and physical structure, such as particle size, aspect ratio, and specific area, was fully discussed in this work. The newly-introduced inner voids, induced around the interface region between matrix and CNPs during physical mixing, were contributive to the rheological deviation, which was further reflected from the melt compressibility. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An organic nitrogen/oxygen-rich polymer (PFN-NDIN) was prepared via Suzuki reaction between 2,7-bis(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-9,9-bis(3-N,N- dimethylaminopropyl)-9H-fluorene (FNB) and 4,9-dibromo-2,7-bis(3-(dimethyl-amino)propyl)naphthalenediimide (NDINBr 2 ) and utilized as a new inhibitor for HRB400 steels corrosion in alkaline medium of simulated concrete pore solution. The inhibition efficiency of this inhibitor was evaluated by electrochemical techniques. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results showed that the protective capacity of PFN-NDIN on HRB400 steel increased with increasing concentration to attain 92.85% efficacy with 400 ppm at 288 K. Potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) plots indicated that PFN-NDIN is effective and acts as a hybrid inhibitor. The adsorption behavior of PFN-NDIN was fitted and found to follow the Langmuir isothermal adsorption line, with discussion of the relevant thermodynamic parameters. The effect of temperature on this inhibitor's the rust-inhibiting effect was investigated. The surface was then studied, showing that the interfacial corrosion of HRB400 steel was inhibited by PFN-NDIN molecules. The relationship between PFN-NDIN molecules’ structure and the inhibition efficiency was investigated by quantum chemical calculations. Several parameters were calculated, the findings revealed that the prepared materials correlated well with their electronic contribution capability.

Shape-memory polymers are important smart materials with potential applications in smart textiles, medical devices, and sensors. We prepared trans-1,4-polyisoprene, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shape-memory composites using a simple mechanical blend method. The mechanical, thermal, and shape-memory properties of the composites were studied. Our results showed that the shape-memory composites could memorize 3 temporary shapes, as revealed by the presence of broad melting transition peaks in the differential scanning calorimetry curves. In the trans-1,4-polyisoprene/LDPE/HDPE composites, the cross-linked network and the crystallization of the LDPE and HDPE portions can serve as fixed domains, and all crystallizations can act as reversible domains. We proposed a schematic diagram to explain the vital role of the cross-linked network and the crystallization in the shape-memory process.

Aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) as one of the next-generation energy storage technologies have attracted both academic and industrial attention due to their high safety, low cost, and high specific energy, yet are facing interfacial challenges at the electrolyte/anode interface, e.g. uneven physical diffusion of Zn2+ flux, severe chemical corrosion, and disordered electrochemical deposition behavior of the zinc metal anode. To address these issues, herein, we propose a facile and effective electrolyte modulating strategy to construct a physico-chemo-electrochemically coupled stable interface between the aqueous electrolyte and zinc anode. The aqueous electrolyte modified using a tiny amount of water-soluble ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIMBF4) can form a positively charged organic EMIM+ adsorption layer and a protective inorganic Zn2+-conducting layer through the in situ decomposition of BF4− on the zinc anode surface, thus effectively homogenizing the Zn2+ diffusion flux and decreasing the chemical corrosion rate. Moreover, EMIM+ provides an electrostatic shielding layer, leading to the preferential and ordered electrodeposition of Zn2+ along the Zn (002). Benefiting from this physico-chemo-electrochemically multifunctional interfacial layer, the Zn//Zn symmetric cells achieve a considerably extended lifespan of up to 1200 h at 5 mA cm−2 and 5 mA h cm−2, and more than 450 h even at an ultrahigh current density and large deposition capacity (10 mA cm−2 and 10 mA h cm−2). Zn//Cu asymmetric cells also exhibit excellent reversibility with a high coulombic efficiency of 99.75%. Furthermore, the physically, chemically, and electrochemically stabilized interface enables the AZMB with a quinone-based cathode to offer high specific capacity (256.9 mA h g−1) and a decent capacity retention rate (83.9% after 300 cycles).

A series of polymeric surfactants , poly acrylic acid rosin polyethylene glycol esters (P-AAR-PEG), have been synthesized from natural diterpenic rosin. Their structures were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) and their molecular weights were characterized by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). Their critical micelle concentration (CMC), surface tension (γ CMC ), foaming property (FP), and hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) value were evaluated. Their thermal properties were measured by Thermal Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) and fluid behaviors were studied by Rotational Rheometer. The influence of concentration on the properties of oil-in-water emulsions was examined and contrasted the stability of emulsion by the mean droplet size between day1 and day7. The weight-average molecular weight of P-AAR-PEG ranged from 1770 to 5071. CMC values of P-AAR-PEG were ranged from 0.33 to 0.87 g/L and the corresponding γ CMC values were ranged from 37.8 to 39.1 mN/m respectively. Their CMC and γ CMC values decreased and then increased with the increment of molecular weight of hydrophile group. Rheological measurements indicated that the P-AAR-PEG solutions changed from pseudoplastic property to Newtonian with increasing shear rate. P-AAR-PEG1000 had good emulsion ability to turpentine in water. When the concentration of P-AAR-PEG1000 was 8 wt%, the emulsion remained stable for more than 7 days.

A (ZrC/SiC) 35 multilayer alternating coating with 500∼700 nm sublayers thickness and 70 interfaces was deposited on sharp leading edge C/C composites by continuous CVD method. Its mechanical property and ablation resistance were assessed by scratch test and oxy-acetylene flame respectively and compared with ZrC monolayered coating. The (ZrC/SiC) 35 multilayer alternating coating exhibited a high bonding strength via the regulation of sub-micro alternating stress field and the inhibition of crack propagation by 70 interfaces, showing a high critical load L C3 of 22.521 N, which was higher than that of ZrC monolayered coating of 5.688 N. Furthermore, the coating revealed excellent ablation resistance evidenced by its intact oxide layer, and the mass and linear ablation rates were only 0.17 mg/s and 0.87 μm/s respectively. The layer-by-layer oxidation behavior allowed the advantages of ZrC and SiC sublayers to be fully utilized, thus maintaining the layered oxide structure. Furthermore, the total 35 layers of thin ZrO 2 layers improved the fault tolerance ability of coating in harsh ablative environments.

Phase behavior of dodecane–tetradecane ( n -C 12 H 26 –C 14 H 30 , n -C 12 –C 14 ) binary system in bulk and confined in SBA-15 (pore diameters 8 nm; 15.9 nm) has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and transmission electron microscopy. The bulk system possesses some special phases relating to the rotator phase in normal alkanes. Dodecane–tetradecane mixtures confined in SBA-15 (8 nm) are a system miscible both in solid and liquid states with a phase diagram of a smooth curve. Dodecane–tetradecane system confined in SBA-15 (15.9 nm) exhibits not only solid–liquid (s–l) in all compositions but solid–solid transition in mole fractions of tetradecane 0.1–0.6, which forms a phase diagram of “loop line” shape. Melting temperatures of n -C 12 –C 14 /SBA-15 (8 nm) are lower than those of n -C 12 –C 14 /SBA-15 (15.9 nm) in all mole fractions. The evolution of the phase diagram of n -C 12 –C 14 confined in 8 nm, 15.9 nm pore sizes of SBA-15 and in bulk, respectively, shows a dramatic effect of confinement on phase behavior of normal alkane mixtures. The s–l phase boundary lines of n -C 12 –C 14 /SBA-15 (8, 15.9 nm) are fitted as \( T_{\text{m,r}}^{x} \) being [ \( xT_{{\text{m} ,r}}^{A} + \left( {1 - x} \right)T_{\text{m,r}}^{B} - D \) ], where D is a polynomial ∑ a

Spinel oxides with the general formula of MnCu x Co 2−x O 4 (x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 respectively) are used as coating materials on the metallic interconnect SUS 430 alloy to reduce the cathodic performance degradation by Cr poisoning and the interfacial resistance to improve the surface stability. The effect of Cu doping at the B position of spinel on the electrical conductivity and coefficient of temperature expansion (CTE) is investigated to determine the oxidation behavior and effectiveness as a protective layer. The result confirms that MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 spinel shows highest electrical conductivity of 105.46 S cm −1 at 750 °C in air and an average CTE value of 12.27 × 10 −6 K −1 at temperature range of 20–960 °C. MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 coating is stable enough after 2000 h cyclic oxidation at 750 °C. The growth of Cr 2 O 3 and formation of MnCr 2 O 4 in the scale layer are effectively suppressed by the presence of MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 coating. The oxidation kinetics obeys the parabolic law with a rate constant as low as 2.76 × 10 −15 g 2 cm −4 ·s −1 and the ASR contributed by the oxide scale is 8.04 mΩ cm 2 at 750 °C. The research indicates that MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 is a promising coating material for metallic interconnects of the intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells .

In this work, we prepared a hollow Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/carbon monolith (HCGCM) via a one-step carbonization method. The doping of nanomaterial and transition metal oxide can improve the poor conductivity and low capacitance of pure carbonaceous materials. The optimal addition concentration of polystyrene microspheres as a template provided the HCGCM composite with a hierarchical pore structure and a large specific surface area (1600 cm 2 /g), which is conducive to generating sufficient electroactive sites. At the same time, three dimensional (3D) interconnected pores shorten ion transport paths and reduced diffusion resistance of ions. Due to the existence of pseudocapacitive behavior, the HCGCM composite, as an electrode material working in a three-electrode system, achieved a high capacitance value of 1106 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g. In two-electrode system, the asymmetric supercapacitor had excellent stability performance and remained about 86.7% capacitance after 5000 cycles test. Moreover, it also exhibited a maximum energy density of 66.7 Wh/kg at power density of 750 W/kg. Thus, the strategy of manufacturing 3D porous electrodes is beneficial to improve the overall electrochemical performance of supercapacitors .

Constructing robust anode with strong aluminophilicity and rapid desolvation kinetics is essential for achieving high utilization, long-term durability, and superior rate performance in Al metal-based energy storage, yet remains largely unexplored. Herein, molybdenum nanoparticles embedded onto nitrogen-doped graphene (Mo@NG) are designed and prepared as Al host to regulate the deposition behavior and achieve homogeneous Al plating/stripping. The monodispersed Mo nanoparticles reduce the desolvation energy barrier and promote the deposition kinetics of Al. Additionally, Mo nanoparticles act as aluminophilic nucleation sites to minimize the Al nucleation overpotential, further guiding uniform and dense Al deposition. As a result, the dual-functional Mo@NG endows Al anodes with low voltage hysteresis, reversible Al plating/stripping with high coulombic efficiency, and excellent high-rate capability under 5 mA cm −2 . Moreover, the as-designed Al metal full batteries deliver a high capacity retention of 92.8% after 3000 cycles at 1 A g −1 . This work provides an effective solution to optimize the electrochemical properties of Al metal anode from the perspective of desolvation and deposition reactions, towards the development of high-safety and long-cycling aluminum-ion batteries.

Currently, wearable sensors have been widely used for human behavior monitoring. Among them, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) textile has the functions of power generation and active sensing, showing great advantages in energy collection and signal transmission. However, the TENG textiles face problems such as limited recognition accuracy, insufficient flexibility, missed fashion sense, and complex manufacturing processes. To address the above issues, a core–shell structure integrated conductive fiber (C-fiber) based on ionogel and a hollow silicone tube are displayed. Owing to the fact that the C-fiber can be synthesized through a simple one-step UV curing process, it has the potential for large-scale production. Due to the dyeability of ionogel and the transparency of hollow tube, the C-fiber has the ability to obtain personalized colors. This fiber can be further woven into a flexible fabric sensor (W-TENG) for high-precision human behavior monitoring. Noteworthiness, the W-TENG still has flexibility and output signal in environments ranging from −18 to 200 °C,the strong wide temperature adaptability stem from the heat and frost resistance of the materials. By assembling W-TENG onto the human body, daily movements, fall types, and post fall states can be perceived. Furthermore, complex motion data is trained by support vector machine (SVM), and the recognition accuracy for different fall categories can reach 100%. In practical applications, TENG could be equipped with custom bluetooth modules to monitor falls in real-time during walking, and provide timely treatment for the injured.
