Highly dendrite-suppressing gel polymer electrolytes for lithium metal batteries are presented utilizing perfluoropolyether-functionalized 2D boron nitride nanoflakes as a multifunctional additive.
Polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membranes with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are prepared by interfacial polymerization using trimesoyl chloride (TMC) solutions in n-hexane and aqueous of m-phenylenediamine (MPD) containing functionalized CNTs. The CNTs the reactions pristine acid mixture (sulfuric nitric 3:1 volume ratio) varying amounts acid, reaction temperature, time. an optimized condition found to be well-dispersed polyamide layer, which is confirmed from atomic force microscopy, scanning...
Development of localized inflammatory environments by M1 macrophages in the cardiac infarction region exacerbates heart failure after myocardial (MI). Therefore, regulation inflammation and their timely polarization toward regenerative M2 suggest an immunotherapy. Particularly, controlling cellular generation reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause differentiation, developing macrophage phenotypes propose a therapeutic approach. Previously, stem or dendritic cells were used MI for...
Au(I)–alkanethiolates (Au(I)–SRs, R = –(CH2)nH, n 2−10, 12, 14, 16, and 18) are synthesized by mixing gold salt, HAuCl4, n-alkanethiols in tetrahydrofuran. Au(I)–SRs show a highly ordered layer structure, the ordering increases as length of alkyl chain increases. with ≥ 4 emit bright orange-red light (λem ∼ 610 nm) visible to naked eye upon irradiation UV light, emission intensity increasing chain. We also found that noticeable aurophilic interactions between Au(I)–Au(I) exist for longer...
A series of composite polymer electrolytes containing poly(ethylene glycol)-grafted graphene oxide fillers were prepared for all-solid-state lithium-ion battery applications.
Nanocomposite membrane containing CNTs and GO exhibits considerably improved performances by the synergistic combinations of GO, which can increase dispersity in a polymeric matrix.
Here we report new H3PO4-doped cross-linked benzoxazine–benzimidazole copolymer membranes showing high proton conductivity and long-term durability for use in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells at elevated temperatures (>100 °C).

The reliability and durability of energy storage devices are as important their essential characteristics (e.g., power density) for stable output long lifespan thus much more crucial under harsh conditions. However, extreme conditions is still a big challenge because unavoidable performance decays the inevitable damage components. Here, we report high-temperature operating, flexible supercapacitors (f-SCs) that can provide reliable severe electrochemical, mechanical, thermal outstanding...
H2SO4-doped dense polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes based on poly[2,2′-(2-benzimidazole-p-phenylene)-5,5′-bibenzimidazole] (BIpPBI) containing benzimidazole side groups were developed for use in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). BIpPBI was prepared by the polycondensation of 3,3′-diaminobenzidine with 2-benzimidazole terephthalic acid (BITA) polyphosphoric acid. Many basic properties characterized and compared conventional PBI (mPBI). The membrane has an entirely amorphous structure...
The membrane filtration process has received much attention as one of the most promising water purification techniques. However, it still several disadvantages, such organic‐, oil‐, and biofouling, contamination by microorganisms, difficulty in rejecting heavy metal ions, which are closely related to surface properties. Various approaches have been used prepare membranes with antifouling, antimicrobial, or ion removal properties on their surfaces. all these not yet reported. It might be...
