Wearable, flexible sensors based on hydrogel fabrication have recently gained significant attention due to their unique properties. However, developing hydrogel sensors that maintain high sensitivity and work effectively in sub-zero temperatures remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a hydrogel with surfaces featuring randomly distributed microspines is synthesized by combining sodium alginate (SA) and acrylamide (AM) as the hydrogel components. To fabricate a wearable sensor, a highly conductive MXene layer is inkjet-printed onto the surface of the hydrogel microspines. The resulting sensor exhibits a remarkable array of features, including exceptional sensitivity (15.03 kPa −1 ), a low detection limit (10 Pa), a vast operating range (0.12–70 kPa), rapid response and recovery (40/100 ms), reliable performance (over 1000 cycles), and outstanding resistance to low temperatures (-20 °C). Moreover, this hydrogel-based sensor facilitates the efficient collection of human monitoring data, such as vocal patterns, pulse, and joint movements, even when operating at −20 °C and in ice bath conditions. Importantly, the surface-based inkjet MXene hydrogels could be assembled into a deformable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), allowing mechanical energy harvesting. The TENG exhibited peak output voltage and current values of 5 V and 2.5 μA, respectively.

Recently, we have constructed a high strength and thermoplastic supramolecular poly( N -acryloyl glycinamide) (PNAGA) hydrogel which can be developed as printable bioinks. However, the PNAGA hydrogel is low in stiffness and toughness, potentially limiting its application as load-bearing soft tissue scaffolds. In this work, we fabricate a supramolecular polymer double-network hydrogel based on hydrogen bonding crosslinked PNAGA and Fe 3+ -coordination crosslinked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The combined hydrogen bonding and ionic crosslinks contribute to high-strength nonswellable PNAGA/CMC-Fe hydrogels (Tensile strength of 2.9 MPa and compressive strength of 7.3 MPa at 80% strain without fracture) and stiffness (Young's modulus of 1.2 MPa and compressive modulus of 1.5 MPa). Furthermore, these reversible double physical crosslinks enable the PNAGA/CMC-Fe hydrogels to dissipate energy efficiently with a high toughness (12.3 MJ m −3 ) and tear energy (3700 J m −2 ), meanwhile imparting self-recoverability, anti-fatigue ability and self-healability to the network. This cytocompatible supramolecular polymer double network hydrogel with excellent multifaceted mechanical performances are promising to exploited as load-bearing soft tissue engineering scaffolds .

In this contribution, we reported the synthesis of poly( N -isopropylacrylamide)- block -poly(acrylic acid) (PNIPAAm- b -PAA) copolymer networks via sequential reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The PNIPAAm- b -PAA block copolymer networks were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The volume phase transition (VPT) temperatures of the PNIPAAm- b -PAA hydrogels were measured by means of micro-differential scanning calorimetry (micro-DSC). It was found that the block copolymer hydrogels displayed the VPT temperatures lower than the control PNIPAAm hydrogel. Compared to the control PNIPAAm hydrogel, the deswelling and reswelling properties of the block copolymer hydrogels were significantly improved. The improved thermoresponsive properties of the PNIPAAm- b -PAA hydrogels have been interpreted on the basis of the formation of the architecture of the block copolymer networks.

A new organic-inorganic composite coating was generated on AZ31 alloy surface with sol-gel method to improve the anti-corrosion performance and biocompatibility of AZ31 alloy in the physiological environment. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization , pH variations in modified-simulated body fluid (m-SBF) demonstrated that the silane/Mg(OH) 2 composite coating significantly enhanced the anti-corrosion ability and slowed down the degradation of AZ31 alloy under in vitro condition. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that the major composition of in-situ formation layer was Mg(OH) 2 . The surface morphology , chemical and phase constitutions of the composite coating were detected using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results demonstrated that the composite coating was uniform and defect-free. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) was also employed to characterize the corrosion products of all specimens immersed in m-SBF after 30 days. MTT and ALP tests indicated that the composite coating greatly enhanced the cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts on the AZ31 alloy surface.

Latent heat storage performance of a layered perovskite-type compound, 1-C 14 H 29 NH 3 ) 2 ZnCl 4 (C 14 Zn), embedded in a series of silica gel (SG) with pore sizes of d = 15–200 nm is investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and powder X-ray diffractions (XRD). C 14 Zn in the nanopores of silica gel shows size-dependent phase transition temperature, enthalpy change and supercooling. They have a stable transition temperature and heat capacity at each size in a short-term thermal cycling. Similar X-ray diffraction patterns are observed for the nano-sized and the bulk C 14 Zn. The encapsulation of a phase change material in nanopores is a new way of tuning its thermal energy storage properties for a wider range of temperature regulation.

Thin film capacitors with large energy storage density and high breakdown strength are widely used in modern electronic fields. To solve the problems of interface effect and different polarization mechanism between matrix and fillers in conventional heterogeneous structure composite thin film capacitors, a new-type inorganic microcrystal-amorphous composite film of 0.92BaTiO 3 -0.08Bi(Ni 0.5 Zr 0.5 )O 3 (0.92BT-0.08BNZ) are prepared by sol–gel method. The amorphous matrix improving the breakdown strength is introduced into the film by adjusting preparation technology. Moreover, the nano-scale polar microcrystalline regions (fillers) are introduced and uniformly distributed in the amorphous matrix under various annealing temperatures. Through investigating the influence of different amorphous matrix and microcrystal trend on the dielectric and energy storage properties, it is found that synergistic effect between the polarized microcrystalline regions and the amorphous matrix are optimal at an annealed temperature of 550 ℃. The result shows that a high energy storage density of 103.7 J cm −3 and an efficiency of 88.3% are obtained under the electric field of 8.30MV cm −1 . Simultaneously, the excellent dielectric and energy storage stability is achieved in a wide temperature range of 20–200 °C. Conclusively, this microcrystal-amorphous composite film overcome the low energy storage capability and poor thermal stability of conventional composite films and provide a feasible way for preparing high energy storage performance films.

In the present work, molecular imprinting silica xerogel (MISX) with selective recognition function aiming to regulate drug therapy was synthesized using biomimetic method with poly(ethyleneimine)s (PEIs) as the polymer template and levorotatory ofloxacin (LOFL) as recognition template. Ultraviolet spectroscopy wavelength scanning was used to test the removal process of LOFL, and characteristics of selective loading ofloxacin (OFL) into MISX were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Molecular recognition functionality of MISX was intensively studied, including OFL loading and release. The results suggested that MISX possessed ability to recognize and selectively adsorb LOFL into MISX in OFL aqueous solution. Amorphous phase of adsorbed molecules contributed to molecular recognition because amorphous state increased the stability of LOFL that were selectively adsorbed into MISX, which induced stronger hydrogen bonding formed between LOFL and MISX so as to improve LOFL recognition ability. In vitro release revealed that OFL-MISX tablet initially released LOFL and later gradually OFL into dissolution medium. Thus conversion of drug release with different pharmacological activity had special value in delivering systems.

As an environmentally friendly aerogel with outstanding performances, the improvement of mechanical properties is urgently required for cellulose aerogel development. In this study, a cellulose aerogel with good mechanical properties was successfully fabricated using nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) as reinforcer. Characterization results demonstrated that NCC was embedded well into the cellulose aerogel. Tests and evaluation showed that the compressive modulus of the NCC reinforced cellulose aerogel was significantly improved, about 6 times higher than that of the pure cellulose aerogel. Furthermore, after modification with trimethylchlorosilane via a cold plasma treatment, the NCC reinforced aerogel became hydrophobic but its oleophilic property remained. This aerogel showed good adsorption capacity, reached saturation rapidly and possessed good reusability. Reinforced mechanical properties with NCC make this cellulose aerogel a very promising material for highly efficient separation and extraction of organic pollutants and oils from water.

To enhance the reduced graphene oxide hydrogels' capacitive performance, many modifiers are used to add doped element into the materials and improve the structure. The isomers of aminophenol which contain amino and hydroxyl groups on the benzene ring are employed as structure regulator and modifier to synthesize high-performance reduced graphene oxide hydrogels. The influences of preparation conditions including ratios of graphene oxide to aminophenol isomers, temperature, reaction times on the samples’ structure and properties have been investigated. The results show that the oligomer of o-aminophenol is formed on reduced graphene oxide sheets while the molecules of p, m-aminophenol are bound to the sheets; and that the hydrogel prepared in the presence of p-aminophenol has larger specific surface area, total pore volume , specific capacitance and good rate capability (74.0% of 427.0 F g −1 retains at 100 mV s −1 ) than other. The cells assembled by the optimized hydrogels exhibit the energy density of 14.07 Wh kg −1 at power density of 124.3 W kg −1 , and 4.96 Wh kg −1 at 6.78 kW kg −1 . Furthermore, 92.2% of initial capacitance can be retained after 20,000 cycles for the cells assembled by the optimal hydrogel. This kind of material may be found its use in energy storage field.

In this report, hybrid silica sol–gel coating was prepared using Ce(NO 3 ) 3 (Sol-Ce) as catalyst. Structure, surface morphology and anticorrosion ability of Sol-Ce solution/coating were studied by infrared spectroscopy (IR), scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), potentiodynamic scan (PDS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). IR results showed that Ce(NO 3 ) 3 had a stronger influence on reactivity of alkoxysilane. EDS results revealed that the fraction of Fe in Sol-Ce coating was significantly lower than regular acid-catalyzed hybrid silica sol–gel coating (Sol-Ac) and Sol-Ac with Ce(NO 3 ) 3 -doped coating (Sol-Ac/Ce). The results of PDS and EIS demonstrated that Sol-Ce coating had better anticorrosion ability than Sol-Ac and Sol-Ac/Ce on carbon steel. The enhanced anticorrosion performance of the Sol-Ce coating might result from the following two reasons: (a) Ce(NO 3 ) 3 as a catalyst could alleviate the negative effects of low pH with using acid catalyst (dissolution of carbon steel) and (b) Ce(NO 3 ) 3 could impede corrosion of carbon steel as corrosion inhibitor.

A new composite gel polymer electrolyte of nonwoven fabric (NWF) and methyl cellulose (MC) with good mechanical properties and outstanding thermal and electrochemical stability is prepared by a simple and green casting process followed by absorbing liquid electrolyte. Its characteristics are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Due to the synergistic action between MC matrix and the NWF framework, the composite gel polymer electrolyte achieves higher ionic conductivity (0.29 mS cm−1) at ambient temperature and larger lithium ion transference number (0.34) than those for the conventional Celgard 2730 separator (0.21 mS cm−1 and 0.27, respectively) in 1 mol L−1 LiPF6 electrolyte, and their activation energies are similar. In addition, the composite membrane shows better mechanical strength than the pure MC membrane. The evaporation rate of the liquid electrolyte at elevated temperature is much decreased. The assembled Li//LiFePO4 cell using this composite gel membrane exhibits better cycling retention and higher discharge capacity than those based on Celgard 2730 separator and pure MC gel membrane. These fascinating characteristics suggest that this unique composite gel polymer electrolyte can be used for lithium ion batteries with good performance and low cost.

Quasi-solid-state lithium metal battery is a promising candidate for next generation high energy density and high safety power supply. Despite intensive efforts on electrolytes, uncontrolled interfacial reactions on lithium with electrolyte and patchy interfacial contacts still hinder its practical process. Herein, we bring in rationally designed F contained groups into polymer skeleton via in-situ gelation for the first time to establish quasi-solid-state battery. This method achieves a capacity retention of 90% after 1000 cycles at 0.5C with LiFePO 4 cathodes. The interface constructed by polymer skeleton and reaction with –CF 3 lead to the predicted solid electrolyte interface species with high stability. Furthermore, we optimize molecular reactivity and interface stability with regulating F contained end groups in the polymer. Comparisons on different structures reveal that high performance solid stable lithium metal batteries rely on chemical modification as well as stable polymer skeleton, which is more critical to construct robust and steady SEI with uniform lithium deposition. New approach with functional groups regulation proposes a more stable cycling process with a capacity retention of 94.2% at 0.5C and 87.6% at 1C after 1000 cycles with LiFePO 4 cathodes, providing new insights for the practical development of quasi-solid-state lithium metal battery.
