Hierarchical porous architectures assembled by ultrathin mesoporous nanosheets are attractive for electrochemical energy storage. Herein, we present a facile and scalable strategy where two ultrathin mesoporous NiCoO2 sheets (similar to 2 nm) are anchored on both sides of a rGO sheet to form an ultrathin sandwich nanosheet (similar to 6 nm) using a chemical co-precipitation method. The sandwich nanosheets are randomly wrinkled, thus the framework built up by such sheets is porous and has a high specific surface area. The high quality rGO endows the composite with excellent conductivity. And the firm adhesion between the NiCoO2 sheet and flexible rGO also guarantees the integration of the electrode during electrochemical cycling. The electrochemical tests on the electrode made by such ultrathin sandwich nanosheets validate that the strategy is effective to obtain high performance electrodes for supercapacitors and lithium ion batteries. As an electrode of a lithium ion battery, it shows excellent cycling performance with a specific capacity close to 998 mA h g(-1) at a current density of 0.1 A g(-1); and as an electrode of a supercapacitor, capacitance retention of 87.6% is achieved over 2000 cycles at a constant current density of 20 A g(-1).

Microstructures, mechanical properties and surface wettability of La- doped diamond-like carbon films deposited by magnetron co-sputtering

Keke Meng, Leilei Yu, Shanglan Jing, Xin Tan, Xiangang Chen, Guoyong Wang

Summary: In this study, La-doped diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were prepared using magnetron co-sputtering technique. The effects of La content on the mechanical properties and surface wettability of the DLC films were investigated. The results showed that the doping of La resulted in smoother and locally graphitized DLC films, and revealed a different relationship between residual stress and sp3-C fraction compared to hardness and elastic modulus. Additionally, air-exposed DLC films underwent surface reactions with air molecules and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), leading to rapid color changes and affecting the surface wettability. The doping-induced enhancements in VOCs adsorption and sp2-C fraction contributed to the transition from hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity of the DLC film. This study provides insights into the complex microstructures and properties of La-doped DLC films, and offers a feasible method for preparing high-performance DLC films with low residual stress and adjustable surface wettability.

Summary: Inspired by spider silk's ability to collect water from a humid environment, a superwetting poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane with spindle-knotted structured fibers was prepared using the electrospinning method followed by oxygen plasma etching treatment. The membrane showed excellent separation efficiency for various oil-in-water emulsions, as the combination of special wettability property and spindle-knot structure facilitated quick accumulation of the emulsified oil droplets on the membrane surface. A model explaining this accumulation was developed and verified using an artificial fiber with micron-sized spindle-knot structure.
