Porous Pb (Zr 0.95 Ti 0.05 ) O 3 / x MgO (PZT/MgO, x =0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 wt%) ferroelectric ceramics were prepared with MgO nanoparticles as reinforcing phase. The effects of MgO nanoparticles on the phase, microstructure, electrical and mechanical properties of as-prepared ceramics were investigated. The results show that the grain size is reduced obviously when increasing the amount of MgO. Compared with pure porous PZT, T C of MgO-added PZT ceramics shifts to higher temperature. Moreover, dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties show no much degradation. Further, PZT/MgO ceramics possess enhanced mechanical properties compared to pure porous PZT ceramics, the largest increment of the fracture toughness and hardness being 31.3% and 19.8%, respectively. The optimal electrical and mechanical properties are obtained with the addition of less than 0.5 wt% MgO nanoparticles.

The electrochemical performance of the lithium−oxygen (Li−O 2 ) batteries largely depends on the material and architecture of the catalytic cathode. In this paper, to avoid the parasitic reactions of carbon and binder with discharge products and reaction intermediates, we proposed an effective design of a free-standing catalytic cathode for Li−O 2 batteries. The FeCo 2 O 4 @Ni electrode consists of FeCo 2 O 4 nanosheets grown directly on nickel (Ni) foam. The resultant hierarchical macroporous/mesoporous structure provides sufficient space for the insoluble discharge product Li 2 O 2 and catalytically active sites for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Consequently, the carbon- and binder-free self-supporting electrode has demonstrated a high discharge capacity with relatively low charge overvoltage and a better cycle performance than the corresponding carbon-based electrodes.

Flexible pressure sensors attract wide attentions in recent years for their significant applications in wearable electronics and health monitoring. It is strongly desired that a pressure sensor possesses both low detection limit and wide measuring capability, covering a broad pressure range from Pa to hundred kPa, to meet diverse demands in different applications. This paper proposes a novel flexible pressure sensor based on thermosensation, using a multilayered and graded-porosity polydimethylsiloxane/silver nanoparticle sponge as piezo-thermic transduction. The sensor exhibits a high sensitivity, a low detection limit of 4.1 Pa, and a wide measuring range up to 200 kPa, which leads to a high range-to-limit ratio of about 50 000. The pressure sensor is monolithically integrated with a temperature sensor and dissolves temperature-compensation. The unique combination of properties makes it feasible to monitor various human signals from subtle wrist pulse to finger tapping pressure and foot stepping pressure by a single device, which shows competent capabilities for multifarious applications in wearable electronics and health monitoring.

Hollow carbon nanosheets with predominant mesopores have been demonstrated as a promising electrode material for supercapacitor , but their low specific surface area with relatively low micropore proportion limits their specific capacitance and energy density . Herein, we develop a novel extrusion plant microtube strategy to synthesize micron-sized nitrogen-doped hollow porous carbon nanosheets (MNHPCS) from dandelion fluff having the specific natural thin-wall and hollow tubular bundled structure through high-pressure extrusion, carbonization and KOH activation. The optimized MNHPCS displays strutted bilayer nanosheet structure, large SSA of 1593 m 2 g −1 , high micoporosity of 71.2 % and high heteroatom content (5.2 at.% for N, 7.0 at.% for O). Importantly, MNHPCS prepared by the new technique overcomes the drawbacks of hollow carbon nanosheets and presents an excellent capacitance of 378 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 and rate capability of 57 % at 80 A g −1 in 6 M KOH. Furthermore, the energy density of MNHPCS//MNHPCS based supercapacitor in EMIMBF 4 can reach up to 84 Wh kg −1 . Most importantly, MNHPCS can be easily achieved from various plant wastes having hollow tubular structure, which would provide a clearly method on selecting plant precursors for producing hollow porous carbon nanosheets applied on supercapacitors.

Precursors of a nickel-based metal–organic framework, denoted Ni-MOF, and the loofah plant were prepared by the microwave method, and “tree blossom” Ni/Nitrogen doped Carbon (NC)/ Carbon (C) composites were prepared by in situ pyrolysis under an argon atmosphere. During pyrolysis, the morphology, specific surface area, porous structure and electromagnetic parameters of the Ni/NC/C composites were adjusted by adjusting the pyrolysis temperature. The maximum reflection loss of the corresponding Ni/NC/C composites can reach −63.1 dB at 13.84 GHz and a thickness of 2 mm when the pyrolysis temperature was 650 ℃ and the filling amount was 16 wt%. And the effective absorption bandwidth was 35.44 GHz when the thickness was adjusted from 1 mm to 5.5 mm within the range of 2–40 GHz. Excellent performance comes from conduction loss, dipole and interface polarization, magnetic resonance, multiple electromagnetic reflections and scattering, and equilibrium impedance matching.

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 .

Levofloxacin (LEV) infiltrated in groundwater has threatened the safety of drinking water . For in-situ remediation of LEV-contaminated groundwater, there exists a main challenge of exploiting proper high efficient backfill medium in utilizing charming permeable reactive barriers (PRBs). Herein, three porous shapeable three-component hydrogen-bonded covalent organic aerogels (H C OA-1, H C OA-2 and H C OA-3) were fabricated based on a multiple-linking-site strategy to evaluate for adsorptive removal of LEV. The three H C OAs exhibited satisfactory performance in LEV adsorption that could integrate high adsorption capacity, good antiion interference, excellent recyclability and wide pH tolerance. The different regularity of kinetics and isotherms of three H C OAs signified that electrostatic effect, pore preservation, hydrogen bonding probably govern the adsorption process in combination, coupling with π-π electron-donor-acceptor (EDA), dipole-dipole and hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction besides. In addition, the response surface methodology (RSM) was employed for studying the single and synergetic effects of selected variables and optimizing operation conditions. Furthermore, a laboratory PRB column packed with processable H C OA-2 was set up to investigate the LEV removal, and the breakthrough data was explained by Adams-Bohart, Thomas, BDST and Yoon-Nelson models. We believe could hopefully bring H C OAs into the real in-situ remediation of such challenging and persistent LEV-polluted groundwater with further massive-scale efficiently.

Porous organic Polymers (POPs) can not only exhibit high specific surface area and pore volume, but also tunable pore size distribution. Herein, copolymers of 2-hydroxyethylmethylacrylate (HEMA) and divinylbenzene (DVB) with specific pore structure were synthesized via a dispersion polymerization strategy, and then immobilized metallocene catalysts with well-defined pore structure were obtained on the produced POP supports. The nitrogen sorption and Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) results demonstrate that the pore structure of the immobilized metallocene catalyst is highly dependent on the pore structure of the POPs , and the pore structure of metallocene catalysts or the POPs has a significant influence on the molecular chain growth of the produced polyethylene. By tuning the distribution of the active species scattered in the micro- and the narrow meso-pore range (roughly ≤4 nm), the chain growth of the polyolefin can be tailored effectively during the polymerization process, although differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and temperature rising elution fractionation (TREF) results show that the chemical composition distributions (CCDs) of produced PE from the POPs-supported metallocene catalysts are not determined by polymerization activity or molecule chain length, but mainly by the active site species scattered in the supported catalysts. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) shows that the produced polyethylene has highly porous fabric which consists of nanofiber and spherical beads of micron dimension.

A porous graphene (PG) bionanocomposite of PG, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and anti-indole-3-acetic acid (anti-IAA) antibody for sensitive and label-free amperometric immunoassay of IAA was reported. A PG film was produced by a pre-reduction/electrochemical reduction process on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and then a homogeneous AuNPs layer electrodeposition on the PG film. The anti-IAA antibody was immobilized onto the AuNPs through electrostatic adsorption and covalent conjugation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), cyclic voltammetry (CV), elecro-chemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to characterize the PG film and the stepwise modification of the immunosensor. The electrochemical immunosensor exhibited a wide linear range from 2 × 10−11 to 2 × 10−8 g mL−1 with a detection limit of 0.016 ng mL−1 (S/N = 3) and showed significant linearity R2 = 0.9970. In addition, the proposed immunosensor showed acceptable selectivity and has been applied to the determination of IAA in the extract samples of several plant seeds with acceptable relative derivation (%) ranging from −5.25% to 4.24% between the immunosensor and high performance liquid chromatography. The proposed chemical pre-reduction and electro-reduction guided protocol can be extended to the preparation of many other functionalized PG nanocomposite films for wide applications.

Gaseous Hg 0 is one of the most deadly and hard-to-dispose pollutants. The oxidation of Hg 0 is a promising route, but the rational design and synthesis of highly efficient catalysts still remain grand challenges. Herein, CuO@Cu 2 O (or Cu x O) heterostructured nanoparticles uniformly monodispersing on porous carbon monolith were designed and successfully synthesized using oligo( m -phenylenediamine)-Cu 2+ complex as raw material. The Cu x O-carbon catalyst contains ∼28 wt% of Cu. Based on density functional theory calculation, the CuO@Cu 2 O junction interfaces can accelerate the Hg 0 oxidation by significantly reducing the energy barriers of reaction. Only 1 mg of the catalyst can catalyze the oxidation of more than 90 % of Hg 0 with [HCl] = 0.5 ppm, [O 2 ] = 6 vol%, T = 150 °C. The poisoning effect of either SO 2 or H 2 O on the catalysts is weak. Moreover, a long-term test confirmed that the Hg 0 oxidation rate can maintain more than 90 % even in the co-presence of SO 2 (5000 ppm) and H 2 O (10 vol%).

The reactive and stable catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction are highly desirable for low temperature fuel cells. The commercial oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysts generally reply on noble metal based nanomaterials, which suffer from inherent cost and selectivity issues. At present, it still remains challenge for designing efficient non-noble metal-based oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysts. Herein, we successfully synthesize Co nanoparticles supported on three-dimensionally N-doped holey graphene aerogels hybrids by the high-temperature calcination of the graphene aerogels-polyallylamine-Co II hybrids. The component optimized hybrids show the excellent electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media, which is comparable to commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst. Meanwhile, the hybrids also show eminent tolerance for CO and methanol, attributing to their excellent oxygen reduction reaction selectivity. The three-dimensionally interconnected structure of graphene aerogels, N-doping, uniform dispersion and high crystallinity of Co nanoparticles, and holey structure of graphene contribute to the striking oxygen reduction reaction activity of hybrids.

Sn-based materials receive a lot of attention because of their high theoretical specific capacity, acceptable price, and good electrical conductivity. However, Sn-based materials have a large volume expansion in the circulation process, leading to the rapid decay of capacity. According to the ion diffusion time formula: t = L2/2D, where L is the diffusion length or the particle size, and D is the diffusion constant of the ions and the electrons. It can be seen that reducing the particle size can significantly improve the multiplier performance of the material. At present, the main methods for preparing nano-sized metal/carbon composites are the high-energy ball grinding method, hydrothermal method, calcined metal, and organic matter precursor. In this paper, sodium alginate was used as a precursor system for the Fe-doped Sn @3D carbon composite material, which was applied to the lithium-ion battery anode to obtain excellent electrochemical performance (1133.5 mAhg −1 after 200 cycles at 0.2 Ag −1 ). The increase in the specific surface area of Fe-doped Sn @3D carbon also increases the charge transfer efficiency and further improves the multiplier performance of the electrode. Meanwhile, the nano-size and structure can better buffer the volume expansion and protect the structure of the electrode.
