Co3O4 with three different crystal plane structures – cubes bounded by {001}planes, truncated octahedra enclosed {111} and {001} planes, exposed {111}planes is synthesized using a very simple one-step hydrothermal method. The kinds of exhibit significantly electrochemical performances the effect planes on performance comprehensively studied.
The cellulose nanofibers of bacterial aerogel (BCA) are modified only on their surfaces using a trimethylsilylation reaction with trimethyichlorosilane in liquid phase followed by freeze-drying. obtained hydrophobic aerogels (HBCAs) exhibit low density (≤6.77 mg/cm3), high surface area (≥169.1 m2/g), and porosity (≈ 99.6%), which nearly the same as those BCA owing to degrees substitution (≤0.132). Because energy decreased three-dimensional web-like microstructure, was comprised ultrathin...
Flexible and crack-free bacterial cellulose (BC)–silica composite aerogels (CAs) are prepared through a sol–gel process followed by freeze drying, in which the BC matrix silica gel skeleton form an interpenetrating network microstructure. The BC–silica CAs exhibit low density (0.02 g cm−3), high specific surface area (734.1 m2 g−1) thermal conductivity (0.031 W m−1 K−1), almost same as pure aerogels. Due to synergic effects of skeleton, obtained show excellent robustness flexibility overcome...
Bacterial cellulose (BC)–silica composite aerogels (CAs) with interpenetrating network (IPN) microstructure are prepared through a permeation sol–gel process followed by freeze drying. The IPN structure is constructed diffusing the precursor into three-dimensional (3D) BC matrix permeating catalyst gradually to promote in situ condensation of form SiO2 gel skeleton from outside inside. used here Na2SiO3 instead traditional tetraethoxysilane. This could offer excellent mechanical properties...
Hierarchical C@MoS<sub>2</sub>@C hollow spheres with active MoS<sub>2</sub> nanosheets being sandwiched by carbon layers have been produced using a modified template method.
Abstract Ni–Fe (oxy)hydroxide and Co–Fe are among the most active oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts in alkaline media. Fe is essential for high activity, but details of how incorporated into Ni or Co structure affects catalysis remain incompletely understood. This study concerns two different modes incorporation to form Co(Fe)O x H y , which both yield increased OER activity result species that differ chemical reactivity electrochemical response. films were cathodically deposited...
The electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 (CO2 RR) to CO, formate, methane, and other high-value compounds is a promising technique. However, current electrocatalysts suffer from drawbacks such as few active catalytic sites, poor selectivity low stability, etc, which restrict the practical application. Although monatomic metal catalysts have been widely reported in recent years, high performance non-noble aerogels were rarely investigated for RR. Herein, Cu-Bi with boosted RR activity well...
Downsizing the building blocks of hierarchical structure towards molecular layer level helps to improve Li storage performance significantly.
By grafting (aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) as the buffer layer on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) surface, SAMs of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS), phenyltrichlorosilane (PTCS), vinyltrichlorosilane (VTCS), and p-tolyltrichlorosilane (TTCS) were fabricated flexible polymer substrate. The properties accurately controlled by adjusting immersing time substrates in solutions concentration solutions. acted templates, TiO2 micropattern was successfully deposited OTS, TTCS, PTCS SAMs.
One-step rapid synthesis of ultra-high strength hydrophobic bulk silica aerogels through neck-strengthening effect induced by high polycondensation reaction.
TiO2 aerogels have been employed for the degradation of formaldehyde (HCHO) via photocatalytic generation reactive oxygen species (ROS) (O2−, ·OH), and its pore size plays a crucial role in affecting decomposition efficiency. However, there remains lack comprehensive understanding regarding internal mechanisms underlying influence on HCHO decomposition. In this study, we prepared by sol–gel method, added polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to introduce flexible molecular chains regulation, obtained...
Abstract Intensively studied polymeric particle production technologies often rely on the combination of polymer self‐assembly and processing techniques. Herein, an elegant crystallization transition‐mediated strategy is proposed to confine molecular within a limited range, avoiding need for extra steps. This approach enables regenerated nanofibrous chitin clusters woven with helical nanofibers. By dissolving β ‐chitin in aqueous NaOH solution adjusting degree deacetylation (DD value)...
Abstract Self‐assembly affords a rich design space in fabricating polymeric nanomaterials. However, the crystalline polymer often exhibits vigorous self‐assembly process due to extensive inter‐ and intra‐molecular interactions, leading challenge controlling their behavior at nanoscale. Herein, this work proposes competing strategy regulate molecular tendency of chitin (a semi‐crystalline polysaccharide) for achieving regenerated nanofibers with helical structure. This approach focuses on...
