Graphical A mischievous child or a sea creature ? The urchin-like Te template is fabricated by photo-assisted electro-deposition at the PsS substrate, which was then used for replacing trace Pt, Au and Rh to obtain the Pt@Te-PsS, Au@Te-PsS and Rh@Te-PsS catalysts for HER. The obtained products showed excellent HER activity and stability, which achieves the highly efficient utilization of precious metals and provides an interesting method to lower their content in energy field. In this communication, the urchin-like Te template is obtained by photo-assisted electro-deposition to replace trace platinum, gold and rhodium to obtain the Pt@Te-PsS, Au@Te-PsS and Rh@Te-PsS catalysts in pursuit of their highly efficient utilization. The three-dimensional structure of urchin-like Te can not only accelerate the interface charge transfer, but also enhance the structural stability of the catalysts. Moreover, the electrons of Te are delocalized, to increase the electron density of interface and promote the hydrogen evolution reaction. Especially, the Pt@Te-PsS catalyst with the Pt loading of only 1.08 wt % exhibits extremely outstanding electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction activity. The finer hierarchical structure of Te template boosts the high HER performance with low precious metal loading, which highlights a new strategy for development of high-efficiency electrocatalysts.

A novel free-standing composite film electrode for Li-S battery is investigated. This novel electrode consists of polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated hollow sulfur microspheres (PVPS) that are homogeneously confined within the conductive composite matrix of graphene and poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS). The characteristic large surface area and wrinkled surface of graphene sheets allow the formation of a conductive layer on the surface of PVPS to suppress the polysulfide dissolution and accommodate the volumetric expansion of sulfur. The addition of PEDOT-PSS also enhances the adhesion between the PVPS and the graphene surface, the overall conductivity of the electrode, and the charge transportation during the charging and discharging processes. The best electrode performances are achieved for a composite film cathode with a sulfur content of about 63.9%, which delivers an initial specific capacity of around 1060 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C. This electrode also displays an excellent capacity retention of 75% after 500 cycles at 1C, corresponding to a capacity decay of only 0.05% per cycle.

One-dimensional, flexible yarn-shaped supercapacitors for woven cloth have the potential for use in different kinds of wearable devices. Nevertheless, the challenge that supercapacitors face is low energy density. In this paper, we present a low-cost and large-scale manufacturing method to construct a supercapacitor yarn with high power and high energy density. To construct the novel and flexible poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate)–polyacrylonitrile (PDEOT: PSS-PAN)/Ni cotton (PNF/NiC) capacitor yarn, an electrospinning technique was initially used to wrap the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers around the core Ni-coated yarn. The PEDOT: PSS–PAN nanofiber composite electrode was created using in situ deposition and H3PO4/PVA was used as a gel electrolyte. This electrode material has a yarn/nanofiber/PEDOT: PSS nanoparticle hierarchical structure, providing a high specific area and enhanced pseudocapacitance. The electrode demonstrated a high volumetric capacitance of 26.88 F·cm−3(at 0.08 A·cm−3), an energy density of 9.56 mWh·cm−3, and a power density of 830 mW·cm−3. In addition, the PNF/NiC capacitor yarns are lightweight, highly flexible, resistant to bending fatigue, can be connected in series or parallel, and may be suitable for a variety of wearable electronic products.Keywords:electrospinning;solid electrolyte;supercapacitor;PEDOT: PSS

Flexible resistive sensors based on crack structures have been widely studied in the field of electronic skin and health monitoring. However, it is still a challenge to develop resistive sensors with strong interface bonding forces due to the problem that the sensitive layer of traditional cracked sensors falls off easily. This paper reports a new type of graphene-based resistive sensor, which uses modified poly(sodium 4-phenylene sulfonate) and graphene nanosheets to prepare a highly conductive, fragile, film sensitive layer. Siloxane at the end of modified poly(sodium 4-phenylene sulfonate) is used to enhance the interface between the sensitive layer and the silicone rubber layer to prepare a flexible resistive sensor with a crack structure. The sensor has a high sensitivity (gauge factor up to 21980.28) and a high response speed (∼65 ms), with an effective working range of 0–4.7 % strain. The sensor has been successfully applied to human physiological signal detection. The neural network algorithm successfully predicted the corresponding blood pressure based on the pulse wave signal detected by the sensor. The average error of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure was 0.79 and 0.42 mmHg, and the error of ± 5 mmHg accounted for 91.2 % and 94.3 % of the total, respectively. The error value passed the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation standard, and reached the Class A standard of British Hypertension Society.

An all-solid-state miniature calcium ion selective electrode (ISE) based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT(PSS)) for continuous in situ measurement in seawater was studied. The electrode substrate was a platinum (Pt) wire of 0.5 mm diameter and PEDOT(PSS) was electropolymerized on one end of the Pt wire to act as the solid contact of this calcium ISE. The PEDOT(PSS) layer was covered with a calcium-selective poly(vinyl chloride) membrane, which contained ETH129 as calcium ionophore, potassium tetrakis-(p-chlorophenyl)borate as lipophilic anion and bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate as the plasticizer. Experiments using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and reversed chronopotentiometry illustrated that electropolymerized PEDOT(PSS) decreased the resistance and improved the stability of the electrode. The sensors can work stably in the calcium ion concentration range of 10−6–10−1 mol L−1 with the slope of 27.7 mV/decade. Also Na+, K+ and Mg2+ can hardly interfere with the performance of the electrode. This electrode was applied to measure the calcium ion concentration of seawater samples. The experimental data showed that the electrode can resist the corrosion of seawater and its reproducibility was good (SD < 0.1 mM kg−1). The lifetime of such an electrode was at least six months. Because of the wire-shape and the small size of such a liquid junction free calcium electrode, it is pressure-resistant and easy to package and seal, therefore it is suitable for use in underwater equipment for in situ seawater measurement.

The lack of highly permeable and selective separation membranes hampers the application of the energy-efficient membrane separation process for water remediation and CO 2 capture in molecular scale. Nanoparticles have been widely applied for tailoring pore structures and surface properties of the molecular separation membranes, thereby enhancing separation performance. However, limited by non-ideal nanoparticle aggregation, it remains a big challenge to fabricate such membranes on a large scale. Herein, we designed a kind of highly dispersed nanoparticles through grafting poly(sodium-p-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) on metal organic frameworks UiO-66 and deployed them for tailoring structure of polyelectrolyte membrane (PEM) for water remediation and Pebax (PEBA) symmetrical membranes for CO 2 capture, respectively. Because of electrostatic interaction, the PSS-grafted-UiO-66 (UiO-66-PSS) demonstrated nearly 100% dispersion in water and had an average particle size around 200 nm. Most interestingly, the introduction of the UiO-66-PSS finely tailored the affinity between membranes and target molecules, and the molecular structure of both PEM and PEBA membranes, thereby tripling the permeances of the membranes and slightly improving the selectivity of the membranes meanwhile. The PEM/UiO-66-PSS membranes demonstrated pure water permeance as high as 27.3 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 with MgSO 4 rejection above 98.7%. For CO 2 capture, the PEBA/UiO-66-PSS membranes exhibited 414.5 barrer with selectivity about 53.8. Taken together, the highly dispersed UiO-66-PSS shows strong promise in constructing molecular separation membranes with high separation performance for environmental remediation. Graphical abstract The highly dispersed PSS-grafted-UiO-66 finely tailored membrane structures of PEM membranes and the PEBA membranes and enhanced affinity between the target molecules and the aforementioned membranes, thereby tripling membrane permeances and improving the membrane selectivity slightly. The obtained PEM/UiO-66-PSS membranes and PEBA/UiO-66-PSS membranes show strong promise in water remediation and CO 2 capture, respectively.

Improved OLED systems have great potential for next-generation display applications. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the conductive polymers poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) have attracted great interest for advanced applications, such as optoelectronic products. In this paper, the simultaneous enhancement of the conductivity, roughness, and adhesion properties of transparent conductive films with PEDOT: PSS/CNTs is reported. These films prepared by a simple spin-coating process were successfully used to produce high-performance organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with an improved lifetime. Addition of PEDOT: PSS lowered the film sheet resistance and CNTs helped to enhance the stability and maintain the lifetime of the OLEDs. In addition, treatment with methanol and nitric acid changed the morphology of the polymer film, which led to greatly reduced sheet resistance, enhanced substrate adhesion, and reduced film roughness. The best performance of the film (PEDOT: PSS: CNT = 110: 1, W/W) was 100.34 Ω/sq.@ 90.1 T%. High transmittance, low sheet resistance, excellent adhesion, and low roughness (3.11 nm) were achieved synchronously. The fabricated OLED demonstrated a low minimum operating voltage (3 V) and could endure high voltage (20 V), at which its luminance reached 2973 cd/m2. Thus, the incorporation of CNTs within PEDOT: PSS electrodes has great potential for the improvement of the performance of OLED devices.Keywords:carbon nanotubes;PEDOT: PSS;spin coating;OLEDs;lifetime

Over the past decades, the urgent need for high strength conductive hydrogels in diverse applications has motivated an unremitting effort to combine the improved mechanical properties of hydrogels with conductive performances. In this work, high strength conductive hydrogels intensified with intermolecular hydrogen bonding are fabricated by in situ mixing poly(2-vinyl-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine- co -polyethylene glycol diacrylates) (PVDT-PEGDA) hydrogels with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS). The conductive hydrogels in deionized water exhibit high mechanical performances with compressive strength and tensile strength in the range of 7.58−9.52 MPa and 0.48−1.20 MPa respectively, which are ascribed to the intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions of diaminotriazine-diaminotriazine (DAT-DAT) in the network. Meanwhile, adding PEDOT/PSS can significantly increase both the specific conductivities and equilibrium water contents of the hydrogels. These cytocompatible conductive hydrogels may have a great potential to be used as electrical stimuli responsive soft biomaterials.

Graphene oxide/ carbon nanotubes (GO/CNTs) aerogels were prepared by adjusting the proportion of GO and CNTs, the corresponding reduced graphene oxide/CNTs (rGO/CNTs) aerogels were obtained by thermal reduction. Then, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT: PSS) was compounded with rGO/CNTs aerogels at a mass ratio of 1:1 to prepare rGO/CNTs/PEDOT: PSS (GCP) composites. Structural analyses revealed the strong π-π interaction between rGO/CNTs and PEDOT: PSS, which leads to the formation of ordered regions. Porous structures of rGO/CNTs aerogels act as conductive network skeleton to promote carrier transport in GCP composites, and the electrical conductivity of GCP composites improves effectively. The optimal electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of GCP5 were 1788.11 S cm −1 and 15.87 μV K −1 respectively. The maximum power factor and ZT merit of GCP5 achieved to 45.03 μW m −1 K −2 and 2.65 × 10 −2 at room temperature, which was almost 43 and 17 times than that of PEDOT: PSS.

Compared with the deposition of thin films on a solid substrate, using a liquid substrate provides an atomic level roughness and extra degree of freedom in manipulating the system conditions such as interfacial tension, which can be preferred for the fabrication of high-performance films. Herein, we develop a liquid-substrate-based spontaneous spreading (LSBS) technology that applies miscible liquids of high surface tension as the substrate and spreads the polymer solution under capillary forces for thin-film processing. We demonstrate the LSBS technology using a conductive polymer, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), and the spread thin films were then transferred to various untreated substrates. LSBS technology uses a miscible liquid substrate for the first time and mediates the spreading, solvent removal, and ion exchange process between the liquid substrate and PEDOT/PSS, increasing the crystallinity of the PEDOT/PSS, thereby significantly improving its electrical conductivity. The LSBS mechanism is investigated through the time–space relationship between spreading and solvent removal, from which we confirm the operating window. Our LSBS technology exhibits a spontaneous, scalable, and versatile process for forming polymer thin films with thicknesses from nano to micron scales on liquid substrates, providing an easy route to control the geometry and presenting universally applicable to different materials.

An electrochemical sensor based upon a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT-PSS) co-polymer film with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified microelectrode is reported for the determination of Fe(III). Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the AuNPs were immobilized on gold (Au) microelectrode by formation of a nanofilm with PEDOT-PSS. The individual particles and their cluster-like aggregates provide a larger active electrochemical area and higher conductivity, which facilitates the determination of Fe(III). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) shows the AuNPs/PEDOT-PSS/Au microelectrode possesses high conductivity. A low detection limit of 0.01 µM Fe(III) was obtained using the modified microelectrode by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) due to its large specific surface area, high conductivity, and the presence of more active sites. The optimized pH of the supporting acetate buffer was 2.0. The AuNPs/PEDOT-PSS/Au provided a linear range from 0.0119 μM to 7.14 μM. The modified electrode was successfully employed for the the determination of total dissolved iron in river water from Three Gorges with satisfactory results.

Ionic two-dimensional polymer (2DP) nanosheets with unique merits are attractive candidates for next-generation proton exchange membranes (PEMs), but the fabrication of large-area 2DP nanosheet-based PEMs is still awaiting success. Here, we report a flexible and intrinsically proton-conductive polyelectrolyte (Poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate), PSS) assisted assembling method to fabricate large-area PEMs (∼400 cm 2 ) using sulfonated 2DP nanosheets as building blocks. Specifically, the optimized membrane achieves a superior proton conductivity of 802 mS cm −1 (70 °C, 95 % relative humidity), owing to the construction of low-energy barrier proton conduction pathways consisted of high density of sulfonic acid groups provided by PSS and sulfonated 2DP nanosheets. Moreover, PEMs with enhanced properties can also be accomplished by introducing different polyelectrolyte, indicating the good versatility of this powerful platform method. This work opens opportunities in large-scale fabrication of 2DP nanosheet membranes and paves a way for fabricating other 2D material-based membranes for diverse applications.
