Inspired by the traditional Chinese “pancake-making” method, the efficient electromagnetic interferences (EMI) shielding composite carbon films are conveniently obtained by assembling graphene oxide (GO) sheets, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and Co/C nanocomposites into a laminated “nacre-like” structure. The developed composite carbon films are characterized by a shielding effectiveness (SE) up to ≈51 dB in X band with a small thickness of ≈34.3 µm. Moreover, the composite carbon film shows favorable flexibility and the SE values almost keep a constant after repeatedly bending test. These results demonstrate a promising approach to simply fabricate a flexible and highly efficient EMI shielding material.

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites have been widely used in various fields and have inevitably produced large amounts of composite waste. The recycling of carbon fibers with high value has become an active research topic at related institutions and production enterprises. In this paper, the catalytic pyrolysis of T700 carbon fiber/epoxy composites in molten salt was studied. Due to the efficient solubility of molten ZnCl2 for the epoxy matrix and catalytic fracture of the C–N bonds by the action of Zn2+ ions, the epoxy composites can be completely degraded at 360 °C in 80 min under standard pressure, and the reclamation efficiency was significantly enhanced compared with conventional pyrolysis reclamation without a catalyst. The types and contents of the main oxygen-containing functional groups on the surfaces of the fibers reclaimed with ZnCl2 were similar to those of the virgin fibers, and the graphitization structure of the carbon fibers was not destroyed in the pyrolysis process. The tensile strength of a monofilament of the fibers reclaimed with ZnCl2 was obviously higher than that of fibers reclaimed in air; it reached a high retention rate that was about 95% that of the virgin fibers. The fibers reclaimed with ZnCl2 after sizing exhibited a desirable reinforcing effect on the flexure performance and interlaminar shear strength of unidirectional carbon fiber/epoxy composites which was close to the performance levels of composite samples containing commercial T700 carbon fibers. Therefore, efficient technology to reclaim high-quality carbon fibers from epoxy matrices has been devised.

A self-assembly method is introduced to prepare composite phase change materials (PCMs) consisting of 1-octadecanol (OD) and graphene. The shape stability and thermal properties of 1-octadecanol/graphene composite PCMs with three-dimensional network structure are investigated. Graphene is dispersed evenly in OD matrix and the three-dimensional network structure is getting tighter with increasing ratio of graphene. OD is completely encapsulated at relatively low amount of graphene about 1.5 wt%. XRD and Raman results show that the combination between OD and graphene is physical adsorption. The 1-octadecanol/graphene (OG) composite phase change materials possess excellent shape stability, which can prevent the leakage of molten OD during phase transition. In addition, around 99.3% phase change enthalpy of pure OD is maintained by connected network structure of graphene while the melting and solidifying temperature merely have small fluctuations. The thermal conductivity of composite phase change material with 1.5 wt% graphene increases to 0.358 W/(m K), which is 1.5 times higher than that of pure OD. Furthermore, the porous network of graphene can delay the evaporation and thermal decomposition point of the composite phase change materials, thus extending the operating temperature of OD efficiently. This work provides a promising way to encapsulate low-temperature organic phase change materials with little carbon additives, and enhance the thermophysical properties of base materials simultaneously.

Graphical Doped to reduce : FeN x -decorated carbon nanotubes are prepared by utilizing ZnO nanowires as a sacrificial template and Fe–polydopamine (Fe–PDA) complex as metal and carbon sources (see figure). The evaporation of Zn at high temperature results in a high surface area of the carbon nanotubes, and the FeN x species contribute greatly to the oxygen reduction reaction activity of the catalyst. It is of increasing importance to develop highly active and economical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts, which have great significance for the large-scale implementation of various energy conversion systems, including metal–air batteries and fuel cells. Herein, a novel method to synthesize FeN x -decorated carbon nanotubes as a high-efficiency ORR catalyst, by utilizing ZnO nanowires as a sacrificial template and a Fe–polydopamine complex as metal and carbon sources, is reported. The obtained catalyst shows great potential for replacing Pt/C as the ORR catalyst under various pH conditions, from alkaline to acidic electrolytes. The high conductivity, large surface area of the carbon nanotube, and highly active FeN x species contributed greatly to the high performance of the catalyst. The work presented herein paves a new way for the synthesis of 1D porous nanomaterials for a broad range of energy-related applications.

Among conventional hydrogen storage materials , LiBH 4 has been regarded as one of the best hydrogen transporters due to its relatively large hydrogen capacities. However, because of its extraordinarily high dehydrogenation temperatures, LiBH 4 was not suitable for hydrogen storage due to its stable thermodynamic features. Herein, we present a novel approach to LiBH 4 that uses solid-state multi-hydroxyl mannitol as a reactant, regulating hydrogen release below 69.9 °C. More than 7 wt% H 2 could be released with ultra-fast rates at 140 °C from the LiBH 4 -mannitol composite. XRD , FTIR , and SEM tests revealed that the reaction between mannitol (H δ+ ) and LiBH 4 (H δ− ) to produce hydrogen was accompanied by the generation of large amounts of heat in situ, which further promoted the decomposition of LiBH 4 for hydrogen production , exceeding the theoretical dehydrogenation amount of H δ+ - H δ− reaction. This work indicates possibilities for the development of fast and easy high-capacity hydrogen generation systems based on complex hydrides.

Molecular composites using rigid-rod macromolecules as the reinforcement have attracted tremendous research interest. However, dispersion of rigid-rod macromolecules at molecular level in the matrix remains a great challenge. Herein, we report new epoxy (EP)-based molecular composites with sulfonated aromatic polyamides , poly( p -sulfophenylene terephthalamide) (sPPTA) and poly(benzidine-2,2′-disulfonic acid terephthamide) (PBDT), as the reinforcement, which disperse uniformly in epoxy. Covalent bonds formed by the reaction between the sulfonic acid groups of the polyamides and epoxy prevent reaction-induced phase separation during high temperature curing. The novel molecular composites exhibit extraordinarily high strength and toughness, with maximum tensile strength of sPPTA/EP and PBDT/EP (100.2 ± 4.8 MPa and 121.9 ± 12.5 MPa, respectively) increased by ∼81% and ∼120%, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, the improvement of mechanical properties surpasses those of molecular composites, nanofiller reinforced thermosets and liquid crystalline thermosets ever reported.

In this work, LiBH 4 –20 wt% PP composite was prepared by ball-milling with as-synthesized hierarchical pyrolysis polyaniline (PP) and LiBH 4 , and the hydrogen sorption performance as well as catalytic mechanism of the composite was studied. It is found that the onset desorption temperature of the composite decreases to 75 °C, almost 235 °C lower than that of the milled LiBH 4 . Moreover, the composite could release 4.1 wt% H 2 and rehydrogenate a total of 4.4 wt% H 2 when the temperature raiseds up to 400 °C, showing an outstanding reversibility, which even 3.9 wt% H 2 can be kept after five cycles. Through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, we found that the PP surface forms some nanoholes after hydrogenation-dehydrogenation cycles, which leads to the confinement of some LiBH 4 in the PP nanoporous structure, therefore, the hydrogen sorption kinetics and reversibility are significantly enhanced. In addition, we also found the oxygenic groups of the PP can react with LiBH 4 forming LiBO 2 and Li 3 BO 3 , where the containing Li–B–O bonds loaded in the porous structure of the PP catalyze the hydrogenation reaction of LiBH 4 .

Herein, we present the preparation of nano-TiO 2 –silicone resin composite films by double liquid phase spray deposition. The films exhibit better adhesion stability and photocatalytic activity under a hydrodynamic erosion condition than conventional nano-TiO 2 composite films. The TiO 2 layer morphology and effective TiO 2 coverage ratio (CR) were affected by the initial curing time (ICT) of the silicone resin, e.g., the increase in an ICT from 10 to 40 min resulted in a CR change from 79.1 to 98.7%. The surface morphology evolution of composite films was studied under a hydrodynamic erosion period of 4 weeks. Obtained results allowed the 4-week evolution to be divided into four stages (pitting, crack pregnant, banded stripping, and surface stripping periods), additionally revealed that the CR of all samples was remained above 65%. The photocatalytic activity of composite films before and after 4-week hydrodynamic erosion was evaluated by rhodamine B degradation experiments. The 4-week erosion only led to the decrease of the photodegradation efficiencies by less than 40% in all cases. Thus, the fabricated TiO 2 –silicone composite films demonstrated excellent durability and photocatalytic activity under the conditions of long-term hydrodynamic erosion, allowing one to conclude that this work paves the way to the fabrication of next-generation photocatalytic materials for industrial applications.

Dipentene-maleic anhydride (DPMA) was prepared by the Diels–Alder addition of dipentene with maleic anhydride. DPMA was converted via ammonolysis with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) to form N-(3-amino-benzoic acid)terpene-maleamic acid (ABDPMA), which was then converted to zinc soap (ABDPMA-Zn) or calcium soap (ABDPMA-Ca). Their chemical structures were confirmed by FT-IR and ICP-AES. Thermal stabilizing effects of ABDPMA-Ca/ABDPMA-Zn were compared with ABTMA-Ca/ABTMA-Zn (ABTMA: N-(3-amino-benzoic acid)tung-maleamic acid), C36DA-Ca/C36DA-Zn (C36DA: dimer fatty acid), ZnMA/ZnO (MA: maleic acid), EFC/ZnSt2/ESBO (EFC: calcium salt of epoxidised fatty acid; ESBO: epoxidised soybean oil, and CaSt2/ZnSt2 (St: stearic acid). Thermal stabilities of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) compounds were determined using Congo Red test, discoloration test, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Dynamic mechanical and tensile properties of the PVC compounds were also studied. Besides better plasticization performance, ABDPMA-Ca/ABDPMA-Zn improved the long thermal stability of PVC compared with ABTMA-Ca/ABTMA-Zn, C36DA-Ca/C36DA-Zn, and CaSt2/ZnSt2.

Summary To make better use of solar energy, lauric acid/expanded graphite (LA/EG) composite phase change materials (PCMs) were synthesized to collect and store solar energy as latent heat thermal energy. The results of thermal characteristics show that when the mass fraction of EG is 5%, 10%, and 15%, the latent heat of LA/EG is 164.5, 156.9, and 148.0 J/g, and the thermal conductivity is 2.73, 7.98, and 10.54 W/(m·K). Leakage test shows that LA/EG PCMs with EG mass fraction of 10% and 15% are form stable after phase change. One thousand thermal cycles prove good thermal reliability of LA/EG. TG analysis indicates LA/EG PCMs have good thermal stability within operating temperature range. The Ultraviolet-visible spectra reveal that the absorbance of LA/EG composite PCMs would increase as the mass fraction of EG increases. Photothermal conversion experiment results indicate that the photothermal conversion efficiency of LA/EG composite PCMs increases as the mass fraction of EG increases, and the efficiency can reach 95% when the mass fraction of EG is 15%. Moreover, it was also found that the process of photothermal conversion can be accelerated with stronger illumination intensity or smaller heat transfer size. All the results show that the prepared LA/EG PCMs can convert solar energy into thermal energy and store it in the form of latent heat at the same time, which indicates it has promising prospect in the application of solar energy conversion and storage.

An effective and green method to incorporate graphene oxide into quaternized hemicelluloses to form a hemicelluloses based film was introduced in this study. Tight, homogeneous, and smooth surfaces of the film were obtained from the SEM image. Data on the mechanical properties of the films indicated that the hybrid films prepared from QH and GO (component of GO was 4.8%) exhibited a high tensile strength of 43.83 MPa. This finding suggested that addition of GO contributed to the desirable mechanical properties of the hybrid film. The hybrid films exhibited high sensitivity to humidity; they could be bent spontaneously under wet conditions within seconds and stretched under dry conditions. In addition, the results of DMA indicated that the storage modulus of the hybrid films had an order of magnitude change in value at different humidities. These characteristics show that films can be potentially used in bio-medicine, packaging materials, and humidity sensors.

A series of composite aerogels with different precursor mass ratios were prepared from graphene oxide (GO) and chitosan (CS) by conducting the crosslinking step after lyophilization, the method of which was recently found beneficial to enhance the adsorptive properties of aerogels . The composite aerogels were then employed for the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) from water, and the one prepared at GO:CS= 1:2 (w/w) was selected as the optimal compromising the adsorption and mechanical properties. The maximum adsorption amounts of MO and MB were calculated to be 543.4 and 110.9 mg/g at 25 °C. Especially, the effects of pH on adsorption of MO and MB in both single and binary systems were investigated in detail. The aerogel possessed pH-responsive feature for single dye adsorption, tending to adsorb MO at low pH while to adsorb MB at high pH. In the binary system, the pH-responsive feature remained and selective adsorption was observed at low initial dye concentration. In contrast, synergistic adsorption occurred instead at high initial concentration, and MB and MO could be efficiently removed simultaneously in the whole pH range of 3–11.
