In this paper, antimony doped tin oxide (ATO) was firstly used as a conductive material in the microporous layer (MPL). ATO had higher electrochemical stability than XC-72 carbon powder. With the same thickness of MPL, the electrochemical corrosion behavior of gas diffusion layers (GDLs) prepared with ATO and XC-72 carbon powder in the simulated PEMFC operation environment were examined and the results showed that the GDL prepared with ATO had higher durability after oxidation for 55 h. Besides, the fuel cell performance with the GDLs prepared with ATO and XC-72 carbon powder as the cathode GDLs were evaluated and a very small difference between those two cells was observed at low current densities, which demonstrated that GDL prepared with ATO had wide application prospects.

In this work, one novel electrochemical sensor was prepared by alternative deposition of phosphomolybdic acid (PMoA) and poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) on an indium tin oxide glass substrate through layer-by-layer assembly. The performance of as-prepared electrode was evaluated with both of oxidizing compounds of iodate and H 2 O 2 and reducing compounds of dopamine and ascorbic acid as models. The results showed that corresponding current response of redox peak increased linearly with the concentration of above compounds increasing in certain ranges, respectively. Limits of detection to them were in the range of 1.0×10 −4 - 4.3×10 −4 mg mL −1 with cyclic voltammetry (CV) in 0.1 mol L −1 NaAc-HAc buffer (pH 5.0). The electrode showed high stability and remained 95 % of its initial activity even after 100 cycles of CV scan. When applied in real samples of table salts, juice and human serum, high recoveries of 96.84 to 100.33 % were achieved with relative standard deviations of 1.11-3.96 % (n=3) at three spiked levels. Moreover, it was also successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of dopamine and ascorbic acid in human serum with differential pulse voltammetry. The results indicated that PMoA/PEI multilayer modified electrode can be used as a universal electrochemical sensor for sensitive detection of redox compounds.

In this manuscript, a simple one-pot heat-up method has been used to prepare multi-component copper–tin–sulfur nanomaterials, including binary Cu1.94S, ternary Cu4SnS4, and Cu1.94S/Cu4SnS4 nanocrystals by varying the reaction temperature, reaction time, and the type of copper source. Post-synthetic ligand exchange (LE) has further been introduced to replace the long-chain ligands originating from 1-dodecanethiol. It has been found that the LE process not only changes the surface ligands but also significantly affects the crystal structure and optical properties of nanocrystals. After LE, the crystal structures of Cu1.94S and Cu4SnS4 transformed to Cu7S4 and Cu3SnS4, respectively, with the Cu1.94S/Cu4SnS4 nanocrystals showing the same trend. This phenomenon could be ascribed to the loss of Cu+ originating from the strong complexation of Cu+ and ammonia with the formation of [Cu(NH3)n]2+ ions under aerobic conditions. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) has been used to characterize the ligands on the surface before and after LE, which further demonstrated that the –SH was replaced during LE. Meanwhile, the band gaps of the obtained nanocrystals after LE show an obvious shift in the near-infrared region due to the evolution of crystal structures. This study will provide useful guidance for the LE of nanocrystals and the application of copper-based sulfide nanomaterials in optoelectronics and other fields.

The Ni-P/TiN/PTFE (poly tetra fluoroethylene) composite coatings were prepared by electroless plating method on Ti plate, which was used as bipolar plates of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The morphology, crystallographic texture, electrochemical corrosion, contact resistance, and hydrophobic property of the Ti bipolar plates with coatings were investigated. The results revealed that Ni-P/TiN/PTFE coating had a dense surface morphology, uniform distribution of composite particles. Ti with coating showed 0.48 μA cm 2 of corrosion current in the simulated solution of PEMFCs and 6 mΩ cm 2 of interfacial contact resistance (ICR). The hydrophobicity test showed that the coating interface was flat and the wetting angle was 112.4°. In conclusion, The Ni-P/TiN/PTFE composite coatings exhibit superior improvement in corrosion resistance, interface hydrophobicity, and conductivity to Ni-P, Ni-P/TiN, and Ni-P/PTFE coatings. The Ni-P/TiN/PTFE coating was suited for bipolar plate surface modification of bipolar plates.

The icing phenomenon in nature can cause serious economic losses and security concerns. Eco-friendly anti-icing and deicing surfaces have been developed to address these issues. In this study, a photothermal superhydrophobic coating was fabricated by a facile polymerization process in the presence of micro–nano structured SiO2/TiN particles followed by a two-step spraying technology. The optimal coating displays remarkable superhydrophobic performance with a water contact angle of 159.1° and a water roll-off angle as low as 1.2°; it survives tape peeling, Taber abrasion, and solution immersion and demonstrates weather and corrosion resistance. More importantly, the SiO2/TiN coating shows excellent anti-icing/deicing property and can withstand multiple icing/thawing cycles. The excellent anti-icing/deicing performance is attributed to the robust superhydrophobic surface and the photothermal effect of TiN nanoparticles. Our fluorine-free design strategy provides important guidance for actual large-scale eco-friendly anti-icing/deicing application.

The facile development of a sustainable and durable flame-retardant approach for protein silk is of interest. Inspired by silk tin-weighting technology, this study developed a novel and sustainable in-situ deposition strategy based on biomass phytic acid to impart durable flame-retardant performance to silk fabrics. The chemical structure of insoluble chelating precipitation, and the surface morphology, thermal stability, combustion behavior, flame-retardant capacity, laundering resistance, and flame-retardant mode of action of the tin-weighting silk samples, were explored. The Sn-, P-, Si-containing insoluble chelating precipitation formed within the fiber interior and combined with silk fibers through electrostatic attraction and metal salt chelation. As a result, the tin-weighting silk displayed excellent self-extinguishing capacity, with the damaged length reduced to 9.2 cm and the LOI increased to 31.6 %; it also achieved self-extinguishing after 30 washing cycles, demonstrating high flame-retardant efficacy and laundering resistance. Moreover, the tin-weighting silk also showed the obvious suppression in smoke and heat generation by 55.6 % and 35.7 %, respectively. The synergistic charring action of phosphate groups, tin metal salts, and silicates was beneficial for enhancing the fire safety of silk. The tin-weighting treatment also displayed a minor impact on mechanical performance of silk fabrics.

Benzene, a common volatile organic compound (VOC) detected in indoor environments, poses challenges for its removal because of its stable molecular structure and low-concentration. In this study, we successfully synthesized tin-doped titanium dioxide (Sn-TiO 2 ) using a simple hydrothermal method. Various characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunner–Emmet–Teller (BET) and molecular probes were employed to analyze the phase composition, structure and morphology, as well as photocatalytic properties of TiO 2 and Sn-TiO 2 . The characterization results showed that moderate addition of tin doping not only effectively enhanced the capture ability of benzene molecules but also promoted hydroxyl radicals (·OH) generation, which was further validated by in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectra and density function theory (DFT) calculations. Degradation experiments on gaseous benzene revealed that under 15 W ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation in humid and closed conditions for 60 min, 1 % Sn-TiO 2 achieved a benzene degradation efficiency of 93.14 %, with almost complete mineralization. Furthermore, flow system experiments demonstrated efficient decomposition of trace amounts of benzene (∼10 mg/m 3 ) in the air to satisfy emission standards when employing 1 % Sn-TiO 2 at a flow rate of 100 L/min.

Flexible pressure sensors have attracted much attention because of their application prospects in wearable devices, electronic skin, and health monitoring. However, it is still difficult to obtain pressure sensors with excellent performance simply and efficiently. Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a widely used transparent conductive material, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is an elastic insulating material with the advantages of easy processing and stable mechanical properties. ITO nano-crystalline particles are dispersed into PVA polymers to form an ITO nanocrystalline-PVA composite film with good electrical conductivity as a piezorestoresistive material, fabricating a pressure sensor with excellent performance. The pressure sensor possesses superior sensitivity (641.15 kPa −1 ), wide detection range (0–80 kPa), fast response time (10.93 ms), and recovery time (8.05 ms), and excellent stability (more than 1500 cycles). The pressure sensor shows excellent performance in a variety of applications, such as pulse testing, speech recognition, and detection of various joint movements of the human body (such as knees, fingers, elbows, etc.). The sensor has application prospects in health monitoring and motion perception.

As a common coal-based solid waste, fly ash is widely used in material filling. However, due to the high resistivity of fly ash itself, the antistatic performance of the filling material is poor. Therefore, antistatic composite powder was prepared by coating nano-sized antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) on the surface of fly ash, and its preparation mechanism was discussed. The composite powders were characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD and FTIR. The results show that the interaction between SiO2and SnO2appears at the wave number of 727.12 cm−1, and the obvious SnO2crystal phase appears on the surface of fly ash. The volume resistivity of calcined fly ash is 1.72 × 1012Ω·cm, and the volume resistivity of ATO fly ash is reduced to 6 × 103Ω·cm. By analyzing the limiting oxygen index, melt index, tensile strength, elongation at break, cross-section morphology and surface electrical resistivity of EVA, it was found that the addition of antistatic powder to EVA can improve its antistatic performance without deteriorating the mechanical properties of EVA.

The extreme pH and complex composition of radioactive wastewater pose great challenges to the chemical stability and properties of adsorbents. Herein, three kinds of metal-doped tin sulfides were developed by a simple one-pot method for cesium removal. DFT calculations combined with experiments were conducted to reveal their structures, stability, and adsorption properties. It was found that the crystal structures of tin sulfide became more stable after doping by Ni and Al. Particularly, the Al-doped material (NAlSS) exhibited the highest stability and adsorption performance because of the highest −COHP value of the Sn-S bond in NAlSS and the low binding energy between NAlSS and Cs + . The industrial application of the powdery NAlSS was further solved by wet spinning using glutaraldehyde cross-linked sodium alginate and hydroxyethyl cellulose (SHG) as the supporters. The obtained salt-resistant hydrogel fibers (SHG-NAlSS) exhibited excellent adsorption performance and stability in wide pH (2 ∼ 12) and temperature (298.15 ∼ 328.15 K) ranges. The maximum adsorption capacity reached 401.34 mg·g −1 within 10 min. The material was successfully applied for Cs + removal from wastewater, and the distribution coefficient of Cs + reached 255020.33 mL·g −1 . After 10 adsorption–desorption cycles, the adsorbent maintained good stability. These results, along with the fixed-bed adsorption, demonstrate that the developed material can be used as a candidate for Cs + removal from radioactive wastewater.

Trimethyl tin (TMT) is a good stabilizer for plastic products but is also a toxic environmental pollutant. Selenium has good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has been widely used in the poultry industry. However, it has not been reported whether selenium enrichment can antagonize TMT-induced viral hepatitis in poultry. To fill this gap, AA broiler models exposed to TMT for 42 d were established and fed a Se-enriched diet at the same time. H&E staining showed that selenium could significantly alleviate TMT-induced liver inflammation. Further analysis of the underlying mechanism revealed that TMT induced nitrosation stress (RNS), increased NO content and iNOS expression, which in turn activated the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway and induced pyroptosis. However, selenium enrichment can reverse this situation, that is, reduce the occurrence of RNS, reduce the degree of pyroptosis, and thus alleviate the occurrence of inflammation. In our study, we demonstrated for the first time that TMT could induce hepatotoxicity other than neurotoxicity in poultry and that selenium could antagonize TMT-induced hepatotoxic hepatitis in chickens through the RNS/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway.

To improve the friction performance and service life of protective coatings in humidity-fluctuating environments, porous hard titanium nitride (TiN)–molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) composite coatings were prepared by using direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) with the mode of oblique angle deposition (OAD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technologies. The structure and chemical component were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. The tribological properties of these TiN–MoS2composite coatings were investigated. The results indicate that the porous TiN–MoS2composite coating exhibited outstanding friction performance and long service life under humidity-fluctuating environments. At the initial 20% relative humidity (RH) stage, the MoS2on the porous TiN–MoS2composite coating surface worked as an effective lubricant; thus, the coating demonstrated excellent lubrication performance, and the friction coefficient (COF) was about 0.05. As the humidity was alternated to 70% RH, the lubrication effect diminished due to the production of molybdenum oxide (MoO3), and the COF was about 0.2, which was attributed to the degradation of MoS2on the wear track and the release of fresh MoS2from the porous TiN matrix. After the environmental conditions shifted from 70% to 20% RH, the MoO3was removed, and the lubrication effect was restored. In summary, TiN–MoS2porous composite coating offers a promising approach for lubrication in humidity-fluctuating environments.
