Composite membrane separators are fabricated by coating one side of microporous polyethylene membrane with poly(methyl methacrylate) modified titanate nanoparticles that are synthesized through emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of methacrylate-functionalized titanate nanoparticles. The formed composite membrane separators exhibit great thermal-shrinking resistance due to the introduction of thermal resistant titanate nanoparticles. After immersed into electrolyte solution, the swelling poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres leads to the formation of gel electrolyte, thus stabilizing the electrolyte. Moreover, the porous structure of the coated layer can facilitate the swelling of electrolyte and the transport of lithium ions. The thus-assembled lithium ion battery shows an improved cycle performance and rate capability.

The misuse of antibiotics has increased the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), considered a class of critical environmental contaminants due to their ubiquitous and persistent nature. Previous studies reported the potentiality of bio-electro-Fenton processes for antibiotic removal and ARGs control. However, the production and fate of ARGs in bio-electro-Fenton processes triggered by microbial fuel cells are rare. In this study, the norfloxacin (NFLX) average residual concentrations within two days were 2.02, 6.07 and 14.84 mg/L, and the average removal efficiency of NFLX was 79.8 %, 69.6 % and 62.9 % at the initial antibiotic concentrations of 10, 20 and 40 mg/L, respectively. The most prevalent resistance gene type in all processes was the fluoroquinolone antibiotic gene. Furthermore, Proteobacteria was the dominant ARG-carrying bacteria. Overall, this study can provide theoretical support for the efficient treatment of high antibiotics-contained wastewater by bio-electro-Fenton systems to better control ARGs from the perspective of ecological security.

A novel La 0.9 Ca 0.1 Fe 0.9 Nb 0.1 O 3-δ (LCFNb) perovskite for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) anode is prepared by means of the citrate-nitrate route and composited with Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 1.9 (SDC) by impregnation method to form nano-scaled LCFNb/SDC anode catalytic layers. The single cells with LCFNb and LCFNb/SDC impregnated anodes both achieve relatively high power output with maximum power densities (MPDs) reaching up to 610, 823 mW·cm −2 in H 2 at 800 °C, respectively, presenting a high potential of LCFNb for use as SOFCs anode. The power outputs of the single cells with LCFNb/SDC composite anode in CO and syngas (CO H 2 mixture) are almost identical to that in H 2 at each testing temperature. This composite anode also presents excellent durability in both H 2 and CO for as long as 50 h, showing desirable anti-reduction and carbon deposition resistance abilities. Besides, the cell output is stable in 100 ppm H 2 S H 2 atmospheres for 20 h at a current density of 600 mA·cm −2 with negligible sulfur accumulation on the anode surface . Hence, a novel iron based perovskite LCFNb anode with remarkable cell performance, carbon deposition resistance and sulfur poisoning tolerance for SOFCs is successfully obtained.

Wide-bandgap photovoltaics (WBPV) could not only provide electrical energy by photoelectronic conversion of the invisible part of the solar spectrum, but also usually had the unique advantage of high open circuit voltage ( V oc). In this work, we reported a novel HTM based on tetrakis (N-phenothiazine) Spirobifluorene (Spiro-PT), its HOMO energy level could be well matched with MAPbBr 3 perovskite HOMO energy level. This HTM could effectively suppress nonradiative recombination, which leads to an increase in the photovoltage of WBPV to more than 1.41 V. As a result, the n-i-p mesoscopic structured WBPV achieved a champion PCE of 7.36% as well as excellent operational stability exhibiting 91% of initial efficiency after 500 h continuous illumination without encapsulation. Based on the high V oc of the MAPbBr 3 /Spiro-PT device, the photovoltaic electrochromic device showed a response speed (the average coloring time was 40 s and the bleaching time was 272 s) and high average visible light transmittance contrast (about 37% in 450–780 nm), the corresponding electrochromic device with maximum dynamic contrast up to 46% at 600 nm between bleached and colored states. This WBPV-powered electrochromic system could provide a pathway towards stand-alone smart window technique for future energy-saving buildings.

Laser-induced graphene (LIG) is a highly promising technology for assembling thin-film electronics with miniaturized surficial patterns, although hard to guarantee both high-quality formation of raw materials and high resolution of feature size. In this study, a combined microcontact printing (μCP) and LIG protocol is creatively utilized to fabricate ultra-thin graphene films with highly ordered micro-stripe arrays. In addition to realize various patterned structures with unique scalable and stackable characteristics, PAA concentration (4–8 wt%) is systematically investigated as a critical parameter to precisely control the feature size of micro-patterns before and after the irradiation process, including line width (before: 5.37–22.44 μm, after: 4.83–22.32 μm) and average height (before: 69.81–187.39 nm, after: 5.72–48.61 nm). By further exploring a defocused multi-lasing strategy, sheet resistance of the graphene array could be optimized dramatically from 634.1 kΩ/sq to 1.9 kΩ/sq, while maintaining low ablation (45.38 % porosity) and high carbon content (84.2 wt%). Lastly, the process is demonstrated to assemble different graphene based electronic devices with miniaturized sizes, including liquid sensors with sensitivity of 2.7 % μL −1 and electrothermal heaters with temperature-ramping rate as high as 24.7 °C/s and working temperature as high as 248 °C.

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.

Novel sulfonated poly (fluorenyl ether ketone) with pendant quaternary ammonium groups (SPFEKA) was successfully synthesized by one-pot copolymerization of bis(4-fluoro-3-sulfophenyl)sulfone disodium salt, 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone, bisphenol fluorene and 2,2′-dimethylaminemethylene-9,9′-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) fluorene (DABPF). The chemical structures were confirmed by FT-IR, and 1 H NMR. The thermal properties were fully investigated by TGA . The synthesized copolymers SPFEKAs are soluble in aprotic solvents, and can be cast into membranes on a glass plate from their N,N′-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solution. A new kind of amphoteric ion exchange membrane (AIEM) was obtained by immersed SPFEKA into 1 M sulfuric acid. The proton conductivities of these membranes are comparable to the most reported sulfonated polymers under the same conditions. The permeability of vanadium ions in vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) was effectively suppressed by introducing quaternary ammonium groups for Donnan exclusion effect . AIEM-20% possess a only 4.4% vanadium ion permeability of Nafion 115. Cell performance tests showed that the VRB assembled with AIEM-20% shows the highest coulombic efficiency (CE) at the current density of 50 mA/cm 2 , because of its lowest VO 2+ permeability. In conclusion, these ionomers could be promising candidates for ion-exchange membranes for VRB applications.

Directional water transport in garment materials plays a pivotal role in maintaining human thermal and wet comfort. In the present work, a new type of multilayer fibrous mat with the specific function of directional water transport was prepared via the combination of melt-electrospinning and solution-electrospinning. The polypropylene (PP) fibrous layer prepared by melt-electrospinning technology was located in the inner layer (next to the skin), while the polyacrylonitrile-containing hydrophilic nano-silica particles (PAN-SiO2) layer with remarkable hydrophilicity was located in the outer layer, which could effectively transport water to the outer surface of the composites. Treatment of the as-prepared PAN-SiO2/PP with an alkaline aqueous solution of dopamine not only increased the wettability of the PP layer, but also further improved the hydrophilicity of PAN-SiO2. A layer of cotton woven mesh was added between the TPP layer and TPAN-SiO2 to form a sandwich structure in order to accelerate water transport in the bilayered fibrous mats. The directional water transport, mechanical flexibility, and permeability of the prepared multilayered superfine fibrous mat were characterized systematically. The experimental results exhibited that TPAN-SiO2/cotton mesh/TPP exhibited an excellent accumulative one-way transport index (AOTI, 1071%), remarkable overall moisture management capacity (OMMC, 0.88), and reasonably high water vapor transport rate (WVT, 11.6 kg d−1 m−2), indicating it is a promising candidate for the development of novel textile materials for use in the field of sportswear for fast sweat release applications.

In this article, we constructed an electrochemical sensor for highly sensitive determination of β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) using the poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-functionalized reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite modified electrode (PDDA-rGO/GCE). The nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectrometry, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The experimental results demonstrated that the fabricated sensor exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity on the oxidation of NADH with a decreased about 200 mV in overpotential and 5.0-fold increment in the oxidation peak current compared to a bare GCE. Applying cyclic voltammetry, a wide linear range from 1.0 × 10 −7 to 2.9 × 10 −3 M with low limit of detection (LOD) of 3.4 × 10 −8 M and high sensitivity of 463.3 μA mM −1 cm −2 were obtained, which was superior to other NADH electrochemical sensors reported previously. Furthermore, the fabricated NADH sensor possessed excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. The oxidation mechanism of NADH at the PDDA-rGO/GCE was also discussed in detail.
A simple NADH sensing platform based on PDDA-rGO composite is constructed, which exhibits an ultra-low detection limit ( 3.4×10-8 M) towards the oxidation of NADH, and the electrochemical reaction mechanism of NADH is discussed in detail.

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.
