Herein, nitrogen, oxygen codoped porous carbon nanofibers (CNFs) from corn residue-derived lignin are fabricated via the electrospinning method, followed by introduction of graphenes (GNs) via a simple “brush-coating and drying” process. The obtained GN-coated carbon nanofibers (CNFs@GNs) exhibit a 3D network architecture, abundance of heteroatoms, excellent electrical conductivity, high specific surface area (700.92 m 2 g −1 ), thus boosting the electrochemical performances. The CNFs@GNs electrode delivers a higher specific capacitance of 271.1 F g −1 than CNFs (200.3 F g −1 ) at 1 A g −1 . Furthermore, the assembled CNFs@GNs symmetric supercapacitor exhibits an energy density of 20.3 Wh kg −1 at the power density of 199.97 W kg −1 together with a high charge/discharge reversibility of 97.3% and Coulombic efficiency of 99.81% after 10 000 cycles. This “brush-coating and drying” strategy utilized here provides a convenient and efficient route for designing CNFs and GN composites and can be utilized in other active materials.

Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and chitosan (CH)-based blend films were prepared via a simple mixing and casting method. The films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis). Mechanical properties, thermogravimetric (TG), derivative thermogravimetric (DTG), and the inhibition of biofilm formation against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 ( P. aeruginosa PAO1) of CH/PVA films were investigated. The results indicated that CH and PVA in the blend films interacted by physical crosslinks consisting of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and intermolecular hydrogen bonds with compatibility, and were more thermally-stable than that of PVA. CH addition decreased the tensile strength and the light transmittance. CH60:PVA40 film showed notable activity against adhesion and inhibited biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa PAO1, indicating that CH60:PVA40 film could be applied as an antimicrobial and biofilm inhibiting food packaging material .

Due to flexible property and light weight, the lithiated Nafion membrane swollen with PC (PC-Li-Nafion) has been employed as both solid-state electrolyte and separator to fabricate solid-state Li-S cells. The electrochemical measurements of PC-Li-Nafion membrane show that its Li-ion transference number is 0.928, ionic conductivity of 2.1 × 10 −4 S cm −1 can be achieved at 70 °C and its electrochemical window is 0 ∼ +4.1 V vs. Li + /Li. It is observed that the Li dendrites are suppressed by using PC-Li-Nafion membrane due to its single-ion conducting property. The amounts of Li-Nafion resin binder and conductive carbon in the cathode are optimized as 40% and 10% respectively to make a balance of ionic and electronic conductivities . A thin-layer Li-Nafion resin with a thickness of around 2 μm is fabricated between the cathode and PC-Li-Nafion membrane to improve the interfacial contact and further enhance the specific capacity of the cell. When measured at 70 °C, the Li-S cell delivers a reversible specific capacity of 1072.8 mAh g −1 (S) at 0.05 C and 895 mAh g −1 (S) at 1 C. The capacity retention at 1 C is 89% after 100 cycles. These results suggest that high-performance solid-state Li-S cells can be fabricated with the Li-Nafion polymer electrolyte .

Carbon dots (CDs) have sparked tremendous attention owing to their unique properties and great potential in various fields. Herein, novel amphiphilic CDs (ACDs) were synthesized solvothermally by microwave heating a mixture of xylose and ethylenediamine in N, N-dimethylacetamide. The xylose-derived ACDs were monodisperse nanoparticles with an average diameter of about 1.81 nm, and exhibited excitation-dependent emission behavior in both aqueous and several common organic solvents . Furthermore, the synthesized ACDs can be uniformly dispersed into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution to fabricate transparent luminescent composites, the as-prepared PVA/ACDs composites not only exhibited excellent fluorescence with excitation-dependent emission performance, but also achieved water-induced shape memory behavior. The intrinsic reason and pH sensitivity of shape recovery were investigated, the results confirmed that a faster shape recovery can be obtained in water at pH 4 within 180 s. Further investigation illustrated that the sensitivity of additional hydrogen bonding between PVA and ACDs to the water molecular was highly related to the shape recovery of the luminescent composite. The green synthesis route for xylan-derived ACDs and fabrication of smart luminescent composite will open many possibilities for the valuable application of low-cost biomass.

SiBCN ceramic aerogels have excellent properties such as ultra-high temperature stability, low density and high thermal insulation . The aerogels have better potential applications in aerospace and other fields. However, similar to inorganic aerogels , the low mechanical strength of SiBCN ceramic aerogels are the main limitation of its application. Based on the principle of inorganic double network enhancement, the first network was constructed by PVA and HNTs , and HNTs/SiBCN dual network aerogels were constructed by SiBCN ceramic aerogels as the second network. The structure and mechanical properties were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area analyzer and pressure tester. Compared with SiBCN ceramic aerogels, 6 wt% HNTs-SiBCN ceramic hybrid aerogels have better microscopic properties (maintaining basic porous network structure and structural stability) and mechanical properties.The continuous HNTs first network can effectively transfer the stress load and enhance the strength of SiBCN ceramic aerogels.

Magnetic actuators, which use magnetic effects for actuation, are very useful in many areas, such as electrical equipment, soft robots, and medical instruments. However, they inevitably suffer damage during long-term use, leading to mechanical failure. Introduction of the self-healing concept can solve this problem to a certain extent and extend their service life. Herein, a room-temperature self-healing magnetic nanocomposite is obtained using a simple, efficient, and environmental-friendly strategy. In the authors' design, soft poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) polymeric materials are chosen as the matrix, and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles are utilized as a functional magnetic nanofiller to obtain a new magnetic nanocomposite. By balancing the self-healing property and mechanical performance, the optimal content of magnetic filler is determined to be 15 wt%. The optimized sample exhibits an ultimate tensile strength (0.44 MPa), a high tensile strain (400%), and an excellent self-healing efficiency (62.2% mechanical recovery of fracture strength) at 25 °C for 30 min. Furthermore, this composite material shows an excellent and healable magnetic actuation performance. This new nanocomposite provides great potential for the magnetic actuation application.

Oxide thermoelectric materials have a wide range of applications due to their excellent stability, low cost, and non-toxic properties. However, their low thermoelectric conversion efficiency limits their practical use. Therefore, improving the performance of oxide thermoelectric materials has become the focus of current research. Interface engineering is an important approach to enhance thermoelectric properties by optimizing electrical transport properties through multiphase composite regulation of phase interface structure. A series of Sr 0.6 La 0.4 Nb 2 O 6-δ /x wt% graphite (x = 0, 0.6, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) composite ceramics thermoelectric materials were prepared, and the mechanism for improving their thermoelectric properties was explored. Graphite serves as an electron momentum amplifier within the Sr 0.6 Ba 0.4 Nb 2 O 6-δ matrix, thereby augmenting both conductivity and power factor values significantly. Notably, the incorporation of 1.5 wt% graphite led to a remarkable enhancement in the thermoelectric power factor at 1073 K, reaching an impressive value of 254.84 μW/K 2 m - representing a notable increase of approximately 51 % compared to the unmodified sample - primarily attributed to the elevated electrical conductivity .

Boron nitride (BN) aerogels is a class of three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical network structure assembled from BN micro/nanostructures. The construction of BN/BN composite aerogel by introducing of BN micro/nano-structural units into the 3D BN aerogel scaffold provides an effective strategy for obtaining BN aerogel with improved all-round properties. Here, a novel kind of BN/BN composite aerogels has been developed by vacuum impregnation of ammonia borane (AB) into fiber-based BN aerogels, followed by high-temperature pyrolysis . The introducing of AB into BN aerogels makes the formation of unique AB/BN composite aerogels, and the high-temperature decomposition of AB results in the obtaining of a series of multifunctional composites, i.e. BN/BN composite aerogels. As compared with the porous BN microfibers in original BN aerogel, the self-assembled fibers in BN/BN composite aerogel are densely covered with high crystalline BN nanoflakes, which are generated by the AB decomposition. The obtained BN/BN composite aerogels have shown excellent thermal stability, significantly improved hydrophobic effect and heat transfer capability. This work provides a new idea for the future research and development of BN composite aerogels.

Traditionally polyvinylidene fluoride membranes have been used in applications such as membrane distillation , wastewater treatment , desalination and separator fabrication. Within this work we demonstrate that a novel carbon nanofiber/polyvinylidene fluoride (CNF/PVDF) composite membrane can be used as an interlayer for Lithium Sulfur (Li S) batteries yielding both high capacity and long cycling life. This PVDF membrane is shown to effectively separate dissolved lithium polysulfide with the high electronic conductivity CNF not only reducing the internal resistance in the sulfur cathode but also helping immobilize the polysulfide through its abundant nanospaces. The resulting Li S battery assembled with the CNF/PVDF composite membrane effectively solves the polysulfide permeation problem and exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. It is further shown that the CNF/PVDF electrode has an excellent cycling stability and retains a capacity of 768.6 mAh g −1 with a coulombic efficiency above 99% over 200 cycles at 0.5C, which is more than twice that of a cell without CNF/PVDF (374 mAh g −1 ). In addition, the low-cost raw materials and the simple preparation process of CNF/PVDF composite membrane is also amenable for industrial production.

A series of poly(methylvinylsiloxane) elastomer (VMQ) composites with improved oil resistance were prepared by introducing uniform polar polymer phases into VMQ matrix through the in situ reaction of reactive polar monomers—hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA)—during peroxide curing. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared measurements demonstrated that HEMA and HPMA had high reactivity and most of the monomers participated in the in situ reaction during peroxide curing. Transmission electron microscopic images showed that the uniform nanophases with the diameters in the range of 20–50 nm formed in the VMQ vulcanizates. The generated nanophases could interact with silica to form a strong filler network in the VMQ matrix, resulting in a significant increase of the modulus at low elongation of the VMQ vulcanizates. With increasing the content of polar monomers, the tensile strength decreased slightly, the elongation at break, the hardness and the 100% modulus increased, but the 300% modulus decreased significantly due to the decrease of the crosslink density. The incorporation of HEMA or HPMA into VMQ matrix could significantly improve the oil resistance of polysiloxane elastomer, and the oil resistance of the composites containing HEMA was a little better than that of the composites containing HPMA. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK, SP) with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and diethylethylammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([dema] [OTf]) were used to make SP/SiOx/OTf inorganic–organic composite membranes by the sol–gel method. The composite membranes were studied with respect to their structural, thermal, ionic liquid leeching (ILs), mechanical, and proton conduction properties. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) results showed that there exist intermolecular forces between the sulfonic groups, silica, and ILs in the composite membrane. Thermogravimetric (TG) results showed that the thermal stability of the SP/SiOx/OTf composite membrane is better than that of the pristine SPEEK membrane. IL leaching studies showed that the sulfonic group could help to reduce the loss of ILs. The introduction of silica in the SP/SiOx/OTf composite membrane could further reduce the loss of ILs, and also reduce the swelling degree of the composite membrane. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) data showed that the introduction of silica can increase the flexibility of membranes, and improve the mechanical properties. A proton conductivity of 2.003 × 10 −2 S/cm was obtained for a 50 wt% [dema][OTf] doped SP-66/SiOx/OTF-50 composite membranes at 220 °C under anhydrous conditions.

A study area in supercapacitor research is the design and manufacturing of composite electrode materials that combine the advantages of various materials. The rGO/CoFe 2 O 4 composite material is produced by growing cobalt ferrite particles on the surface of rGO using a simple and highly efficient thermal reduction technique. The results show that the electrochemical properties of rGO are significantly improved by the incorporation of cobalt ferrite. rGO sheets are used as supporting frameworks for the CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles, while the CoFe 2 O 4 particles provide more active sites for redox reactions. The prepared rGO/CoFe 2 O 4 show excellent electrochemical properties, with a high specific capacitance of 283 F/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g and a specific capacitance retention of 90.5% after 1000 cycles. The attractive performances exhibited by rGO/CoFe 2 O 4 composites make them potential electrode materials for supercapacitors in future.
