Abstract As interest in smart textiles grows, fiber-based supercapacitors are gaining attention as promising devices for powering wearable electronics. Herein, we have demonstrated a two-step manufactured hybrid fiber with excellent energy storage properties. Anhydrous MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) sheets are primarily spun in synergy with liquid crystal carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to produce a continuous fiber as a promising electrode material, which solves the problem of poor rate capability owing to the sheet re-stacking of MXene. MnO 2 @MXene/CNT fibers are subsequently prepared by electrochemical deposition with controlled time. The optimal content of MXene (10 wt%) and a perfect thickness of the MnO 2 layer (4 μm) are testified to achieve an excellent capacitance of 371.1 F cm −3 in three-electrode system, which is about 200% and 1800% higher than that of 10 wt%-MXene/CNT and CNT fiber electrode, respectively. Symmetric fiber supercapacitor is assembled by paralleling two fibers with LiCl/PVA gel electrolyte, manifesting a superior cycling stability of 86.3% after 10000 cycles. Graphical Abstract Anhydrous MXene nanosheets and CNTs are incorporated by a high yield spinning technique to prepare continuous hybrid fibers as a conductive framework for MnO2 deposition, exhibiting stable and outstanding energy storage properties in supercapacitor.

Halloysites are a kind of aluminosilicate clay with a morphology of a nanotube. The inner wall of halloysite is positively charged, and the external surface is negatively charged. In this work, we propose a simple and facile method to prepare Ag NPs loaded in the lumen of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). Herein, N -acetyl- l -cysteine modified silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with negative charges spontaneously and stably resided in the lumen of HNTs via electrostatic interactions. The images of transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy showed that Ag NPs with a size of ~2.6 nm were uniformly distributed in the lumen of HNTs. The catalytic activity of the obtained Ag NPs/HNTs composites was evaluated by the reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) as a model reaction. When the molar ratio of Ag and 4-NP was set at 0.008, the rate constant of the reaction was found to be 0.91 min −1 , two times higher than that of Ag NPs adsorbed on the external surface of HNTs. Additionally, no Ag NPs were found in the supernatant after the Ag NPs/HNTs suspension was stirred for 30 min. Such structural stability implies good reusability as a catalyst.

In this work, Fe-series (Fe, Co, Ni) doped titanate nanotubes were synthesized via a simple, one pot hydrothermal process using commercial TiO 2 powder as the precursor. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV–Vis. SEM and TEM results show that regularly uniform nanotubes were obtained and they possess homogeneous tubular structures with open ends. There is no significantly morphological and structural difference between TiNTs and Fe-series doped TiNTs. Furthermore, the photocatalytic properties of TiNTs and Fe-series doped TiNTs were studied using the degradation of ciprofloxacin. Fe-series doped TiNTs exhibit higher catalytic activities than those of TiNTs and commercial TiO 2 .

We demonstrate a sensitive and rapid colorimetric assay for selective detection of copper ions based on the strong coordination between Cu(II) ions and the tetrahydroxyaurate anions [Au(OH) 4 ] − on the surface of thermally treated bare gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The method for making the unmodified GNPs is simple and results in a nanomaterial with a highly specific response to Cu(II). The thermal treatment of the bare GNPs and the recognition of Cu(II) ions is accomplished in a single step within 5 min. The presence of Cu(II) causes the color to change from red to purple-blue. The limit of detection (LOD) is 0.04 μM of Cu(II) when using UV–vis spectrometry and ratioing the absorbances at 650 and 515 nm, respectively. The method also is amenable to bare eye (visual) inspection and in this case has an LOD of 2.0 μM of Cu(II).
Due to the strong coordination of Cu(II) ions with the tetrahydroxyaurate anions [Au(OH) 4 ] - on the thermally treated bare GNPs, Cu(II) can directly induce the aggregation of the GNPs, resulting in an obvious color change from wine-red to purple-blue.

Multifunctional fibers have attracted widespread attention due to applications in flexible smart wearable devices. However, simultaneously obtaining a strong and functional woven fiber is still a great challenge owing to the conflict between the properties mentioned above. Herein, mechanically strong and highly conductive cellulose/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite fibers were spun using an aqueous alkaline/urea solution. The microstructure as well as physical properties of the resulting fibers were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, mechanical and electrical measurement. We demonstrated that carboxylic CNTs can be well dispersed in alkali/urea aqueous systems which also dissolved cellulose well. The subsequent wet spinning process aligned the CNTs and cellulose molecules inside the regenerated composite fiber well, enhancing the interaction between these two components and endowing the composite fiber having a 20% CNT loading with an excellent mechanical strength of 185 MPa. Benefiting from the formation of conductive paths, the composite fiber with the diameter of about 50 μm possessed an electrical conductivity value in the range of 64–1274 S/m for 5–20 wt% CNT loading. This excellent mechanical strength and high electrical conductivity enable the composite fiber to exhibit a great potential in joule heating; the heating temperature of cellulose/CNT-20 fiber reached more than 55 °C within 15 s at 9 V. In addition, the multifunctional filaments are further manufactured as a water sensor to measure humidity. This work provides a potential material that can be applied in the fields of wearable electronics and smart flexible fabrics. Graphic abstract

Crystallinity of bottlebrush polymers due to side chain crystallization has been considered to be related to the length of the side chains only under the assumption of complete participation of crystallization by all side chains. Recent experimental results revealed that in poly( n -alkyl methacrylate)s a fraction of side chains could not crystallize due to constraints imposed by the trapped main chain entanglements and required expansion of main chain-main chain distance. This result renders the original simplified consideration of the origin of crystallinity in bottlebrush polymers questionable. In this work, we introduce a new parameter f c , the fraction of crystallizable side chains, to better describe the crystallinity of bottlebrush polymers. A linear relationship between the melting enthalpy and the number of alkyl groups in side chains for bottlebrush polymers reported repeatedly indicates that f c remains essentially unchanged when bottlebrush polymers had the same main chain structure and grafting degree but different side chain lengths. The slope of the above-mentioned linear relationship is thus \(\Delta H_{\text{CH}_2}\times f_{c}\) , where \(\Delta H_{\text{CH}_2}\) stands for the melting enthalpy of one mole alkyl group packed into the crystal. With a known value of f c , it is possible to estimate the value of \(\Delta H_{\text{CH}_2}\) . In case of poly( n -alkyl methacrylate)s, we estimated \(\Delta H_{\text{CH}_2}\) of hexagonal crystal being at most 5.74 kJ/mol with the knowledge of possibly smallest f c of 0.67 obtained from small angle X-ray scattering data. Therefore, the crystallinity of bottlebrush polymer would be calculated based on the equation \(X_{\rm{c}}=f_{\rm{c}}\times\frac{N_{\rm{c}}}{N}\) with N and N c being the number of alkyl groups in a side chain and those packed in the crystalline structure, respectively. Both chemical structure and grafting degree of bottlebrush polymers affect f c .

The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior of poly(acrylamide- co -diacetone acrylamide) (poly(AM- co -DAM)) copolymer in aqueous solutions was studied. The results demonstrate the LCST linearly decreases as the molar fraction of DAM ( f
DAM ) increases. In the range of f
DAM < 0.36, the transmittance increases as f
DAM decreases because the more hydrophilic copolymer chains can form looser aggregates with a lower refractive index. The transmittance exhibits a minimum when f
DAM is less than 0.28 as the chains form micelle-like structure with a size smaller than the wavelength. The LCST decreases with the initial polymer concentration, but it levels off when the polymer concentration is high enough. Moreover, no hysteresis can be observed in the change of transmittance during the heating-cooling process because no additional hydrogen bonds are formed in the collapsed state due to the steric hindrance of the large side groups in DAM units.

Constraining the electrochemical reactivity of free solvent molecules is pivotal for developing high-voltage lithium metal batteries, especially for ether solvents with high Li metal compatibility but low oxidation stability ( <4.0 V vs Li + /Li). The typical high concentration electrolyte approach relies on nearly saturated Li + coordination to ether molecules, which is confronted with severe side reactions under high voltages ( >4.4 V) and extensive exothermic reactions between Li metal and reactive anions. Herein, we propose a molecular anchoring approach to restrict the interfacial reactivity of free ether solvents in diluted electrolytes. The hydrogen-bonding interactions from the anchoring solvent effectively suppress excessive ether side reactions and enhances the stability of nickel rich cathodes at 4.7 V, despite the extremely low Li + /ether molar ratio (1:9) and the absence of typical anion-derived interphase. Furthermore, the exothermic processes under thermal abuse conditions are mitigated due to the reduced reactivity of anions, which effectively postpones the battery thermal runaway.

A new symmetrical diamine that contains benzimidazole ring, 6,6’-bis[2-(4-aminophenyl)benzimidazole], was synthesised directly from p -aminobenzoic acid and 3,3’-diaminobenzidine via benzimidazolisation condensation. The diamine monomer was polymerised with various commercial dianhydrides by a conventional two-step polymerisation reaction to obtain the corresponding polyimides. The obtained polyimides were amorphous and could be used to produce flexible, yet tough, transparent films exhibiting excellent thermal stability with glass transition temperatures of 334 °C to 412 °C and 5 % weight loss temperatures above 540 °C in nitrogen. These polymers also demonstrated outstanding mechanical properties with a tensile strength of 177 MPa to 224 MPa and a tensile modulus of 3.5 GPa to 5.7 GPa. The excellent thermal and mechanical properties of these polyimides are most likely attributable to the rigid-rod structure and the presence of hydrogen bond between the macromolecular chains.

Azobenzene compounds have been widely used in many fields and through their response to light they can be used to regulate the properties of ordered structures. In this paper, sub-micrometer colloidal SiO 2 spheres were prepared and azobenzene groups were grafted on the surface of SiO 2 microspheres. The SiO 2 microspheres grafted with azobenzene groups could self-assemble to form photosensitive photonic crystals, whose photonic bandgaps red-shifted as irradiated by UV light due to the structure change of the azobenzene groups.

Most research efforts focus on synthesis of new biocides. This study shows that orientating biocidal groups on top surface with the help of a low-surface-tension constituent also imparts enhanced antibacterial ability. A CO 2 -philic biocidal silicone with pyridinium pendants was synthesized by hydrosilylation reaction of (45% methylhydrosiloxane)–dimethylsiloxane random copolymer (P(MHS–DMS)) and 4-vinylpyridine and subsequent quaternization of pyridine groups with 6-perfluorooctyl-1-bromohexane. The fluorinated pyridinium silicone was impregnated into cotton yarns in supercritical CO 2 to form a 50 nm thickness biocidal layer at 24 MPa and 50 °C. Pyridinium groups preferentially segregated to the top surface with the aid of low-surface-tension perfluorooctyl segments and provided higher biocidal efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli compared to their counterparts that were quaternized with 1-bromohexane at similar total pyridinium content of about 4.65 × 10 16 /cm 2 . The synthesis and coating results were characterized by FTIR, SEM, and XPS. The stabilities of fluorinated pyridinium silicone layer toward washing cycles, UV irradiation, and storage were good. The presented strategy uses environmentally benign CO 2 as solvent and affords a general method to functionalize polymers for improved biocidal capability due to the surface orientation of pyridinium groups.

Abstract All-inorganic perovskite materials have many advantages such as adjustable emission range, narrow emission peaks, and good crystallinity, which have attracted widespread interest. They can be used as solar cells, LEDs, photodetectors, displays, and other optoelectronic devices. However, poor environmental stability is the major factor limiting its applications. We introduced a Poly(styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene) SEBS polymer to create perovskite/SEBS composite films which have excellent stability even in the water environment. Besides, due to the elastic nature of SEBS, the composite films exhibited good mechanical deformability and could maintain most of its fluorescence intensity after being stretched hundreds of times. A WLED device was constructed by stacking CsPbBr 3 /SEBS films and CsPbI 3 /SEBS films over a blue LED. The WLED performed well with color rendering index of 82.6 with chromaticity coordination (0.35, 0.36) and color temperature 4784 K. Graphic Abstract
In order to create a stable and flexible photoluminescent material, we combined a

nanocrystals forming a flexible photoluminescent composite. The composite films
