Summary: In this study, an efficient method was proposed to prepare ultrasensitive gas sensors based on porous reduced graphene oxide (PRGO) through photo-Fenton etching. The controlled etching enriched the vacancy defects of GO nanosheets and formed porous graphene oxide (PGO). The PGO was drop-coated on interdigital electrodes and hydrothermal reduced to achieve controllable reduction by varying the water amount. The gas sensor based on PRGO-5 min-6 h exhibited superior sensing and selective performance toward nitrogen dioxide (NO2), with an exceptional high sensitivity up to 12 ppm(-1) and a theoretical limit of detection down to 0.66 ppb. The excellent performance could be mainly attributed to the typical vacancy defects of PRGO, and the residue carboxylic groups on the edges facilitated the adsorption of polar molecules. The proposed process has great potential for scalable fabrication of high-performance NO2 gas sensors.

Summary: In this study, the mechanical properties and microstructure of near stoichiometric SiC fiber were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and FIB-TEM. It was found that the fiber strength retention rate decreased with increasing oxidation temperature, and the oxide scale thickness and crystallization rate increased. The oxidation behavior of SiC fiber treated in a simulated environment was different from that in air, but there were no significant differences in the oxidation process and crystallization mechanism. The increase of oxide layer thickness and the formation of cristobalite impaired the structural integrity and compactness of the oxide scale, leading to deterioration in mechanical properties. Therefore, improving the oxidation resistance of SiC fiber can be achieved by isolating the reaction between the oxidizing agents and SiC fiber or by increasing the crystallization temperature of cristobalite and reducing the crystallization rate in the oxidation process.

Summary: This study demonstrates the improvement of mechanical properties and reduction of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in graphene oxide (GO)/epoxy (EP) nanocomposites by enhancing the interface between GO and EP through functionalization and incorporating rigid-flexible interphases. The results reveal that the SiO2-PEA-GO hybrid exhibits better strengthening and toughening effects, as well as lower CTE, compared to the PEA-GO hybrid due to the presence of rigid-flexible interfaces with higher bonding strength and better energy dissipation mechanisms. Additionally, the nanocomposites with longer polyetheramine (PEA) molecules in the rigid-flexible interphases demonstrate higher strength and toughness, while maintaining a lower CTE. This work provides a promising strategy for constructing adjustable flexible-rigid interfacial structures and offers potential in developing GO/EP nanocomposites with high mechanical properties and low CTE.
