Abstract Transition metal nitrides (TMNs) are considered as potential electrode materials for high‐performance energy storage devices. However, the structural instability during electrochemical reaction process severely hinders their wide application. A general strategy to overcome this obstacle is fabricate nanocomposite TMNs on conducting substrate. Herein, honeycomb‐like CoN‐Ni 3 N/N‐C nanosheets in situ grown a flexible carbon cloth (CC) via mild solvothermal method with...
With the development of material engineering and coating industries, superhydrophobic coatings with exceptional water repellence have increasingly come into researchers’ horizons. The corrosion resistance, self-cleaning, anti-fogging, drag-reduction, anti-icing properties, etc., meet featured requirements from different application fields. In addition, endowing essential performance conformities, such as transparency, UV anti-reflection, water-penetration thermal insulation, flame...
A series of shape memory nanocomposites based on diglycidyl ether bisphenol (DGEBA) E51/methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA)/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) with various stoichiometric ratios (rs) DGEBA/MHHPA from 0.5 to 1.2 and filler contents 0.25 0.75 wt % are fabricated. Their morphology, curing kinetics, phase transition, mechanical properties, thermal conduction, behaviors systematically investigated. The prepared materials show a wide range glass transition temperatures (Tg)...
Graphene based conducting polymer composites have demonstrated remarkable potential in supercapacitors. Here we develop a facile one-step cyclic voltammetric codeposition method for the fabrication of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/conducting redox composite film on graphite paper (GP) substrate using (GO) and dye N-methylthionine (NMTh) as precursors. The morphology, composition, structure were characterized scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),...
Abstract The performance of asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) is strongly restricted by the capacity gap between positive and negative electrodes. To address this issue, two new electrode materials deriving from Co‐ Fe‐based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs, Co‐TAMBA‐d, Fe‐TAMBA‐d) through a single‐step sintering method have been developed considering superiorities derivatives MOFs including large surface areas, sufficient metal‐atom‐doping content, extreme wettability to bath solution....
Recently, bioinspired mushroom or reentrant microstructures have attracted intersts of researchers for their amazing water superrepellence property. However, basic principles exquisite design improving repellence are still lacking. This paper reports a novel 3D-printed biomimetic superhydrophobic surface with petal-like inspired by the droplet pinning effect nepenthes peristome. Then, parameters such as petal number, proportion and spacing distance studied optimized to improve repellence,...
Oil/water separation is widely studied because of the growing discharge industrial and domestic oily water, as well frequent petroleum spills; however, on-demand continuous oil/water has seldom been reported. For this purpose, we prepared opposite wetting nickel meshes by creating FeNiOx(OH)y micro-/nanostructures on surface further modification. The morphology, chemical composition, property were investigated SEM, EDS, XRD, Raman spectrum, XPS, contact angle measurement. as-prepared...
Designing smart surfaces with tunable wettability has drawn much attention in recent years for academic research and practical applications. Most of the previous methods to achieve such demand some particular materials that inherently have special features or complicated structures which are usually not easy obtain. A novel strategy is proposed by using surface patterned shape memory polymers chemically crosslinked polycyclooctene shows a giant deformability up ≈730% strain. The possess...
Superhydrophobicity originating from the "lotus effect" enables novel applications such as self-cleaning, anti-fouling, anti-icing, anti-corrosion, and oil–water separation. However, their real-world are hindered by some main shortcomings, especially organic solvent problem, complex chemical modification of nanoparticles, poor mechanical stability obtained surfaces. Here, we report for first time solvent-free, modification-free, mechanically, chemically, UV robust superhydrophobic powder...
