Summary: This study synthesized a novel, low cost, and environmentally friendly PANI/PVA-CuNi composite by chemically oxidizing aniline monomer and using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a film matrix. Various percentages of copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) were employed. The nanocomposites were characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy, FTIR, SEM-EDX, and TGA. The PANI/PVA-CuNi nanocomposites were tested for adsorption of methylene blue (MB) under different controlled conditions, and various kinetic models were used to evaluate the adsorption efficiency. The results showed that the PANI/PVACu50Ni50 and PANI/PVA-Ni composites removed 94% and 93% of methylene blue, respectively, in 180 minutes under specific conditions.

Summary: The addition of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and ball milling can improve the ignition and combustion properties of aluminum powder. However, the low PTFE content in Al-PTFE composites limits combustion efficiency. By establishing an interface layer with tannic acid (TA) and TA-Fe, the ignition temperature of Al-PTFE composites can be effectively decreased and aluminum agglomeration can be inhibited during combustion.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This research developed an effective approach to enhance the charging rates of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by strategically incorporating carbon nanotube (CNT) conductivity boosters into Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) electrodes. Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
