Summary: Despite the extensive utilization of carbon nanostructures as sensors, the factors influencing their performance are not fully understood. Most of the established principles only apply to nanocarbon species dispersed in polar environments, so they cannot explain the behavior of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) suspended in organic solvents by conjugated polymers (CPs). Our research provides a thorough understanding of this topic by investigating SWCNT nanocomposites based on polyfluorenes and their co-polymers. The study reveals the complex interactions between polymer structure, SWCNT chirality, and solvent characteristics, leading to a revised mechanism of solvatochromism in SWCNTs.

Summary: Researchers synthesized a lithiophilic 3D copper foam host with uniformly distributed nano-flower-like ZnO particles (CuF/ZnO) and obtained a composite lithium metal anode (CuF/Li2O-LiZn@Li) containing Li2O, LiZn alloy, and pure Li by infusion of molten Li.

Summary: To meet the demand for high-energy-density batteries, researchers have focused on alloy-type and conversion-type anode materials. However, the initial cycling process leads to irreversible lithium loss, reducing the energy density. Various prelithiation techniques have been developed to compensate for the loss, including cathode prelithiation which has shown promising results. This review discusses recent advances in anode and cathode prelithiation and the challenges that need to be overcome for practical applications.

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.
