The influence of polybenzoxazine modified ammonium polyphosphate (BMAPP) on the thermal behavior and flame retardancy of a rigid polyurethane foam (PU) are investigated via thermogravimetric analysis (TG), TG coupled with infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR), UL-94 vertical burning testing and limit oxygen index (LOI). The TG testing results indicate that BMAPP can enhance the thermal stability of PU, both under air and nitrogen conditions. The initial degradation temperature of the BMAPP/PU composites is 264 °C in air, which is 22 °C and 30 °C higher than that of ammonium polyphosphate (APP)/PU composites and neat PU, respectively. The reason might be attributed to the better dispersion and compatibility of BMAPP particles in PU compared with APP, which can prevent the PU chain from degrading at low temperatures. The LOI value results demonstrate that BMAPP has higher flame retardancy in PU than APP. Residue analysis implies that polybenzoxazine is partially converted into Si–O as char residue during combustion.

Safe operation of electrochemical capacitors (supercapacitors) is hindered by the flammability of commercial organic electrolytes. Non-flammable Water-in-Salt (WIS) electrolytes are promising alternatives; however, they are plagued by the limited operation voltage window (typically ≤2.3 V) and inherent corrosion of current collectors. Herein, a novel deep eutectic solvent (DES)-based electrolyte which uses formamide (FMD) as hydrogen-bond donor and sodium nitrate (NaNO 3 ) as hydrogen-bond acceptor is demonstrated. The electrolyte exhibits the wide electrochemical stability window (3.14 V), high electrical conductivity (14.01 mS cm −1 ), good flame-retardance, anticorrosive property, and ultralow cost (7% of the commercial electrolyte and 2% of WIS). Raman spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory calculations reveal that the hydrogen bonds between the FMD molecules and NO 3 − ions are primarily responsible for the superior stability and conductivity. The developed NaNO 3 /FMD-based coin cell supercapacitor is among the best-performing state-of-art DES and WIS devices, evidenced by the high voltage window (2.6 V), outstanding energy and power densities (22.77 Wh kg −1 at 630 W kg −1 and 17.37 kW kg −1 at 12.55 Wh kg −1 ), ultralong cyclic stability (86% after 30 000 cycles), and negligible current collector corrosion. The NaNO 3 /FMD industry adoption potential is demonstrated by fabricating 100 F pouch cell supercapacitors using commercial aluminum current collectors.

Traditional superhydrophobic cotton fabrics (SCFs) for oil/water separation were usually fabricated by surface coating with inorganic nanoparticles combined with nonrenewable and nonbiodegradable or even toxic fossil-based chemicals, which would lead to secondary environmental pollution after their lifetime. In this study, we report robust, nanoparticle-free, fluorine-free SFC, which was prepared by acid etching followed by surface coating with epoxidized soybean oil resin (CESO) and subsequent modification with stearic acid (STA). No toxic compound and no nanoparticle were included within the SCF and all the raw materials including cotton fabric, CESO and STA are biodegradable and derived from biological resources. The SCF showed excellent mechanical stability and chemical/environmental resistances. The superhydrophobicity of the SFC survived from mechanical abrasion , tape peeling, ultrasonication , solvent erosion and low/high temperature exposure. The SCF also exhibited good acid/alkali resistance with contact angle over 150° toward different pH water droplets. Moreover, the SCF could efficiently separate oil/water mixtures with efficiency above 97.9% and the superhydrophobicity remained after reusing for at least 10 times. The fully biological-derived SCF with excellent mechanical and chemical resistances exhibit great potential for separation of oil/water mixtures.

Polymeric ionic liquid-based gel electrolyte films are a new generation of electrolyte materials for flexible energy storage device applications. In this work, Li-ion conducting gel electrolyte films are prepared with the polymeric ionic liquid poly(diallydimethylammonium) bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide (poly(DADMATFSI)) as the host polymer and the lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt as the dopant . The crystalline nature, thermal stability, ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability window of the polymeric electrolyte films are analyzed by various characterization techniques. It is found that the polymeric electrolyte films exhibit high flexibility and excellent thermal stability. Their room-temperature electrical conductivity increases with increasing LiTFSI concentration and reaches a high value of 1.00 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 20 wt% LiTFSI. The ionic transference numbers of the polymeric electrolyte films are in the range of 0.98–0.99, indicating that they are perfect ion conductors. Finally, the electrochemical stability window of the 20 wt% LiTFSI-doped polymeric electrolyte film is determined as approximately 6 V, which is a promising value for flexible energy storage device applications.

Inorganic metal chalcohalides are significant semiconductive materials for photovoltaics, photodetetion and infrared optics. Thus it is considerably rewarding to develop a new synthetic strategy to provide more degrees of freedom for atomic coordination to tune the optical and electronic properties of metal chalcohalides. In this work, the mixed-anion strategy is performed to synthesize two new metal chalcohalides Cs2InPS4X2 (X = Cl, Br) with mixed-anion structure by the reaction of InPS4 and CsX. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that they are isostructural and crystallize in the centrosymmetric space group P21/n, consisting of zero-dimensional structure [In2P2S8X4]4− (X = Cl, Br) built from tetrahedral [PS4]3− and octahedral [InS4X2]7− (X = Cl, Br) through edge-sharing, with Cs cations filling in intervening voids. The UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy measurement reveals that Cs2InPS4Cl2 and Cs2InPS4Br2 exhibit large optical bandgaps of 3.21 eV and 3.12 eV, respectively. The electronic structure calculations show that the bandgap mainly originates from the [InS4X2]7− (X = Cl, Br) mixed-anion groups. First-principles calculations indicate that the birefringence of Cs2InPS4Cl2 and Cs2InPS4Br2 is ∼0.08 and ∼0.05 at 2090 nm, respectively. Furthermore, thermal analysis reveals that the Cs2InPS4X2 (X = Cl, Br) are thermostable up to 400 °C. This discovery enriches the structural diversity of inorganic chalcohalides and provides an insight for the exploration of new semiconductive materials.

Two energetic salts of cyclo-N 5 − , O-methylisoure pentazolate ( 1 ) and guanidinoacetic acid pentazolate ( 2 ), were synthesized by metathesis reaction. All the energetic cyclo-N 5 − salts were characterized by single-crystal XRD, IR spectroscopy, 1 H and 13 C multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, thermal analysis (DSC) and elemental analysis. They exhibit good thermal stability with decomposition temperatures of more than 100 °C and they are in excellent agreement with those reported non-metallic salts. Salt 1 also exhibits strong π-π interactions. The standard enthalpies of formation and detonation performances of these salts were calculated using Gaussian 09 and EXPLO5 v6.01 programs. The detonation velocities of compound 1 and 2 are both about 7400 m s −1 and these two salts exhibit low mechanical sensitivity (IS>23 J, FS>220 N). Therefore, in this work, the synthesis of the new pentazolate salts enriches the cyclo-pentazolate salts system, which is conducive to the exploration of more heat-resistant and higher detonation velocities pentazolate salts.

To develop low-cost, high-capacity and long-life anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, glucose-C and F-doped C coated SiO composites with adjustable pore structure (p-SiO@gl-C@F-doped C) are synthesized by facile and scalable methods. The combination of the heterogeneous dual-carbon shells and porous structure significantly promotes the reaction kinetics of the electrode, effectively suppresses and buffers the volume expansion of SiO, and largely enhances the stability of solid electrolyte interface of the electrode. In a half cell, the optimized p-SiO@gl-C@F-doped C (7:3) composite shows a stable discharge capacity of 785 mAh g −1 at a current density of 200 mA g −1 . The discharge capacity is maintained at 772 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles. At a current density of 400 mA g −1 , the electrode shows a discharge capacity of 633 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles, with a capacity degradation of ∼0.0096% per cycle from the 2nd cycle to the 500th cycle. The full cell which is composed of the commercial LiFePO 4 as a cathode and the optimized composite as an anode, exhibits high capacity and good cycling stability.

The hydrogenation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone with water as solvent is a crucial reaction for producing fine chemicals. However, the development of highly stable catalysts is still a major challenge. Here, we prepared a Ru nanoparticles incorporated in mesoporous-carbon (Ru-MC) catalyst to achieve high stability in acidic aqueous medium. The Ru-MC showed excellent catalytic performance (12024 h −1 turnover frequency) in the hydrogenation of LA-to-GVL. Compared with Ru supported on mesoporous carbon catalyst (Ru/MC) prepared by conventional wet impregnation method, the Ru-MC showed excellent reusability (more than 6 times) and thermal stability (up to 600 °C). Based on H 2 -TPR-MS characterization, it was proposed that the incorporated structure significantly increased the interaction between Ru nanoparticles and carbon support, which effectively prevent the leaching and sintering of Ru nanoparticles and contributed to increased high reusability and thermal stability of the Ru-MC.

Commercial lithium-ion batteries have safety risks due to the use of electrolyte-containing flammable organic solvents. The development of all solid-state lithium ion batteries with solid electrolyte is a feasible technical way to improve the safety of batteries. In this work, PVDF-based composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) were prepared by coupling Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The electrochemical performance and interfacial compatibility between composite electrolyte and electrode were improved by the combination of appropriate amount of Li-ion-conducting particles and the insulating polymer. The corresponding solid-state battery of LiFePO 4 |PVDF-LLZTO-CSE| Li is fabricated and delivers initial discharge capacity of 162.4 mAh g -1 , and coulomb efficiency is approximately 98.5%. And the solid-state battery exhibits satisfactory rate capability and cycling stability at room temperature. This study suggests that a combination of the lithium garnet particles and insulating polymer is one of the promising methods to solve the problem of liquid electrolyte.

The cyclotriphosphazene-based epoxy resin hexa-[4-(glycidyloxycarbonyl) phenoxy]cyclotriphosphazene defined as CTP-EP was successfully synthesized from hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, p -hydroxybenzaldehyde and epichlorohydrin. Its chemical structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and 31 P NMR spectroscopy . The prepared compound was cured with diamino diphenyl methane (DDM), diamino diphenyl sulfone (DDS) and m -phenylenediamine (mPDA), respectively. The flame retardant properties, thermal degradation behavior and flame retardant mechanism of the cured CTP-EP were investigated. The LOI values of all cured CTP-EP samples increased from 19.9% for cured diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) to above 30% and successfully passed UL-94 V-0 rating, which demonstrated that the prepared CTP-EP thermoset exhibited excellent flame retardancy. The dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA) test demonstrated that the glass transition temperature ( Tg ) enhanced from 155 °C for the cured DGEBA to 167 °C for CTP-EP thermoset . The results of thermogravimetric analysis/infrared spectrometry (TG-IR) tests suggested that the phosphazene group and high aromatic content in CTP-EP thermoset stimulated the dehydration of the matrix at earlier degradation process and the formation of char layer, which retarded the release of pyrolysis gas and enhanced the thermal stability of the cured CTP-EP at high temperature. The cone calorimeter tests (cone) test revealed that heat release rate (HRR), total heat release (THR), smoke production rate (SPR) and total heat production (TSP) of the cured CTP-EP decreased significantly compared with the cured DGEBA. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the phosphazene groups in CTP-EP obviously stimulated the formation of the intumescent, compact and stable char layer, which enhanced the flame retardancy of the matrix during combustion. Consequently, the underlying materials were protected from further degradation and combustion during a fire and result in the efficient flame retardancy of CTP-EP thermoset.

V-based alloy membranes have huge potential for hydrogen separation and purification due to their higher hydrogen permeability , but suffer from hydrogen embrittlement . To address this matter, Pd and Fe have been chosen as alloying additions in V-based membranes to inhibit hydrogen embrittlement and maintain high hydrogen permeation performance based on the lattice-matching strategy. The phase structure, composition, microstructure and hydrogen permeation properties of V-Pd-Fe ternary alloy are investigated systematically, and the V-Fe and V-Pd binary alloys are presented for comparison. The results show that the prepared V-Pd-Fe ternary can match almost perfectly with pure V in lattice constants . Attributing to the lattice-matching strategy, the V-Pd-Fe ternary alloy exhibits more excellent hydrogen permeable properties than that of V-Fe and V-Pd binary alloys . The reduction of hydrogen embrittlement is ascribed to the lower hydrogen solubility that induced by the lattice distortion and electronegativity of Fe and Pd. Meanwhile, the manipulated lattice constant that parallel to pure V maintains high hydrogen permeation performance. Additionally, the designed ternary V 87.8 Pd 8 Fe 4.2 alloy exhibits exceptional long-term hydrogen permeation stability at 573 and 623 K, and hydrogen flux gradually decreases at 673 and 723 K is observed due to the interdiffusion between Pd film and V 87.8 Pd 8 Fe 4.2 substrate and defects in the Pd coating. This study offers new scenario and method for optimized hydrogen permeable properties and restrains hydrogen embrittlement in the alloy membrane.
