Summary: The structure and surface morphology of electrode materials greatly affect the electrochemical performance in supercapacitors. In this study, a self-supporting, flexible layer of continuously reinforced carbon nanotube woven film (CNWF) was developed using the FCCVD technique. A series of flexible CNWF/PANI composite films were then produced by forming polyaniline (PANI) in the conductive network of CNWF through CVEP in various aqueous electrolytes. The CNWF/PANI1-15C composite electrode displayed a distinct coral-like PANI layer with a well-defined sharp nanoprotuberance structure, a 48% doping degree, and a quick reversible pseudocapacitive storage mechanism.

Summary: The binary polymer nanocomposite (PTh/nNiO) was synthesized by chemical oxidation polymerization followed by mechanical mixing. The ternary polymer nanocomposites (PTh/cMWCNT/nNiO) were synthesized through an interface in-situ chemical oxidation polymerization method. The structure, morphology, elemental composition, and electrochemical performance of the synthesized samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The specific capacitance values obtained for PTh/nNiO and PTh/cMWCNT/nNiO composites are 365 F g(-1) and 419 F g(-1), respectively, and the ternary composite may be a promising candidate for supercapacitor application.

Summary: Hydrophobic coatings inspired by the lotus effect have gained popularity for their ability to solve various problems. The sol-gel method, utilizing silica, alumina, and titania, is explored as an environmentally friendly approach to produce water-based hydrophobic coatings. This study focuses on producing water-based hydrophobic coatings for cotton and polyester fabrics using a one-step sol-gel method. The coated fabrics exhibited improved hydrophobic properties, altered surface morphologies, and lower air permeability compared to uncoated fabrics. TEOS-PDMS coating provides a promising approach for enhancing the hydrophobic and surface properties of cotton and polyester fabrics.

Summary: Pt/C and SO42-/ZrO2 were used as catalysts for the synthesis of p-aminophenol through the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene in water with formic acid as the hydrogen source. The optimal Pt loading for PAP selectivity was found to be 1 wt%. The presence of different valence states of Pt affected both the nitrobenzene hydrogenation and formic acid decomposition. Among different solid acid catalysts tested, SO42-/ZrO2 exhibited the highest catalytic activity for p-aminophenol formation. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the conversion of nitrobenzene reached 80.0%, with a selectivity of 47.6% for p-aminophenol.

Summary: The mechanism of the reaction between CO2 and styrene oxide for cyclic carbonate was revealed using density functional theory calculations. The noncatalytic reaction occurred via a concerted mechanism, while in the presence of guanidine and tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) co-catalysts, the epoxide ring-opening by nucleophilic attack of an iodide anion was predicted to be the rate-determining step. Guanidine acted as the H-bond donor to activate styrene oxide, facilitating the reaction with a lower activation barrier.

Summary: Copper nanorods (Cu-NRs) exhibit significant plasmonic behavior and can act as efficient catalysts in redox processes and coupling. A benign decarboxylative approach, utilizing localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) assisted catalysis with Cu-NRs, has been developed for the production of alkane analogues from alkyl carboxylic acids under visible light. The catalyst shows a broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance, without the need for an external oxidant or proton source. A plausible mechanism for this recyclable nano-catalyst has also been proposed based on control experiments.
