文摘Thermally conductive papers with electrical insulation and mechanical robustness are essential for efficient thermal management in modern electronics.In this study,we introduced a metal ion-assisted interfacial crosslinking strategy to strengthen sugarfunctionalized graphene fluoride(SGF)and cellulose nanofibers(CNF)by hydrogen bonding and metal ion crosslinking that leads to simultaneous enhancements in thermal conductivity and mechanical properties.The facile sugarassisted ball-milling exfoliation method was developed to achieve the exfoliation of graphite fluoride and hydroxyl group functionalization on the surface of graphene fluoride.Thanks to the good dispersibility of the SGF sheets in water,the flexible SGF/CNF composite papers with hydrogen bonding were prepared via vacuum-assisted filtration.We introduced hydrogen bonding and metal ion crosslinking into SGF/CNF papers to obtain densely packed composite papers.Ca^(2+)or Al^(3+)ion-crosslinked SGF/CNF papers exhibited superior thermal and mechanical properties owing to hydrogen bonding and metal ion crosslinking.SGF/CNF-Ca^(2+)and SGF/CNF-Al^(3+)papers at 50 wt%of SGF yield in-plane thermal conductivities of 72.93 and 75.02 W m^(-1) K^(-1),and tensile strengths of 121.5 and 135.7 MPa,respectively.A thermal percolation value was observed at 12.6 vol%of SGF filler content.In addition,the SGF/CNF papers exhibited electrical insulation properties.These remarkable characteristics of the metal ion-crosslinked SGF/CNF papers are attributed to the densely packed structures caused by the strong interfacial interactions from hydrogen bonding as well as metal ion-crosslinking that could promote phonon transport.High-performance metal ion-crosslinked SGF/CNF papers with these fascinating advantages offer great potential for the thermal management of flexible electronics.

文摘The microstructure design for thermal conduction pathways in polymeric electrical encapsulation materials is essential to meet the stringent requirements for efficient thermal management and thermal runaway safety in modern electronic devices.Hence,a composite with three-dimensional network(Ho/U-BNNS/WPU)is developed by simultaneously incorporating magnetically modified boron nitride nanosheets(M@BNNS)and non-magnetic organo-grafted BNNS(U-BNNS)into waterborne polyurethane(WPU)to synchronous molding under a horizontal magnetic field.The results indicate that the continuous in-plane pathways formed by M@BNNS aligned along the magnetic field direction,combined with the bridging structure established by U-BNNS,enable Ho/U-BNNS/WPU to exhibit exceptional in-plane(λ//)and through-plane thermal conductivities(λ_(⊥)).In particular,with the addition of 30 wt%M@BNNS and 5 wt%U-BNNS,theλ//andλ_(⊥)of composites reach 11.47 and 2.88 W m^(-1) K^(-1),respectively,which representing a 194.2%improvement inλ_(⊥)compared to the composites with a single orientation of M@BNNS.Meanwhile,Ho/U-BNNS/WPU exhibits distinguished thermal management capabilities as thermal interface materials for LED and chips.The composites also demonstrate excellent flame retardancy,with a peak heat release and total heat release reduced by 58.9%and 36.9%,respectively,compared to WPU.Thus,this work offers new insights into the thermally conductive structural design and efficient flame-retardant systems of polymer composites,presenting broad application potential in electronic packaging fields.

文摘Carbon fibre,steel fibre and graphite were used as conductive fillers to prepare cementitious materials with excellent electrothermal properties.The electrically conductive cementitious materials with different volume dosages were analysed through compressive and flexural strength,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and temperature rise tests.An equivalent circuit model was established to study the electrically conductive heat generation mechanism in the electrically conductive cementitious composites.The results indicate that the mechanical properties of cementitious composite materials with a ternary conductive phase are better than those of pristine cementitious materials because the fibrous filler improves their mechanical properties.However,the incorporation of graphite in the material reduces its strength.Introducing fibrous and point-like conductive phase materials into the cementitious material enhances the overall conductive pathway and considerably reduces the electrical resistance of the cementitious material,enhancing its conductive properties.The volume ratios of carbon fibre,steel fibre and graphite that achieve an optimal complex doping in the cementitious material were 0.35%,0.6%and 6%,respectively.This was determined using the mutation point of each circuit element parameter as the percolation threshold.In addition,at a certain safety voltage,there is a uniform change between the internal and surface temperatures of the conductive cementitious material,and the heating effect in this materialis is considerably better than that in the pristine cementitious material.

文摘Regulating lithium(Li)plating/stripping behavior in three-dimensional(3D)conductive scaffolds is critical to stabilizing Li metal batteries(LMBs).Surface protrusions and roughness in these scaffolds can induce uneven distributions of the electric fields and ionic concentrations,forming“hot spots.”Hot spots may cause uncontrollable Li dendrites growth,presenting significant challenges to the cycle stability and safety of LMBs.To address these issues,we construct a Li ionic conductive-dielectric gradient bifunctional interlayer(ICDL)onto a 3D Li-injected graphene/carbon nanotube scaffold(LGCF)via in situ reaction of exfoliated hexagonal boron nitride(fhBN)and molten Li.Microscopic and spectroscopic analyses reveal that ICDL consists of fhBN-rich outer layer and inner layer enriched with Li_(3)N and Li-boron composites(Li-B).The outer layer utilizes dielectric properties to effectively homogenize the electric field,while the inner layer ensures high Li ion conductivity.Moreover,DFT calculations indicate that ICDL can effectively adsorb Li and decrease the Li diffusion barrier,promoting enhanced Li ion transport.The modulation of Li kinetics by ICDL increases the critical length of the Li nucleus,enabling suppression of Li dendrite growth.Attributing to these advantages,the ICDL-coated LGCF(ICDL@LGCF)demonstrates impressive long-term cycle performances in both symmetric cells and full cells.

文摘Integrated conductive elastomers with excellent mechanical performance,stable high conductivity,self-healing capabilities,and high transparency are critical for advancing wearable devices.Nevertheless,achieving an optimal balance among these properties remains a significant challenge.Herein,through in situ free-radical copolymerization of 2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl acrylate(TEEA)and vinylimidazole(VI)in the presence of polyethylene glycol(PEG;Mn=400),tough P(TEEA-co-VI)/PEG elastomers with multiple functionalities were prepared,in which P(TEEA-co-VI)was dynamically cross-linked by imidazole-Zn^(2+)metal coordination crosslinks,and physically blended with PEG as polymer electrolyte to form a homogeneous mixture.Notably,Zn^(2+)has a negligible impact on the polymerization process,allowing for the in situ formation of numerous imidazole-Zn^(2+)metal coordination crosslinks,which can effectively dissipate energy upon stretching to largely reinforce the elastomers.The obtained P(TEEA-co-VI)/PEG elastomers exhibited a high toughness of 10.0 MJ·m^(-3) with a high tensile strength of 3.3 MPa and a large elongation at break of 645%,along with outstanding self-healing capabilities due to the dynamic coordination crosslinks.Moreover,because of the miscibility of PEG with PTEEA copolymer matrix,and Li+can form weak coordination interactions with the ethoxy(EO)units in PEG and PTEEA,acting as a bridge to integrate PEG into the elastomer network.The resulted P(TEEA-co-VI)/PEG elastomers showed high transparency(92%)and stable high conductivity of 1.09×10_(-4) S·cm^(-1).In summary,the obtained elastomers exhibited a well-balanced combination of high toughness,high ionic conductivity,excellent self-healing capabilities,and high transparency,making them promising for applications in flexible strain sensors.

文摘A series of divinylphenyl-acryloyl chloride copolymers(PDVB-co-PACl)is synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization employing tert-butyl acrylate and divinylbenzene as monomers.PDVB-co-PACl is utilized to graft on the surface of spherical aluminum nitride(AlN)to prepare functionalized AlN(AlN@PDVB-co-PACl).Polymethylhydrosiloxane(PMHS)is then used as the matrix to prepare thermally conductive AlN@PDVB-co-PACl/PMHS composites with AlN@PDVB-co-PACl as fillers through blending and curing.The grafting of PDVB-co-PACl synchronously enhances the hydrolysis resistance of AlN and its interfacial compatibility with PMHS matrix.When the molecular weight of PDVB-co-PACl is 5100 g mol^(-1)and the grafting density is 0.8 wt%,the composites containing 75 wt%of AlN@PDVB-co-PACl exhibit the optimal comprehensive performance.The thermal conductivity(λ)of the composite is 1.14 W m^(-1)K^(-1),which enhances by 20%and 420%compared to theλof simply physically blended AlN/PMHS composite and pure PMHS,respectively.Meanwhile,AlN@PDVB-co-PACl/PMHS composites display remarkable hydrothermal aging resistance by retaining 99.1%of itsλafter soaking in 90°C deionized water for 80 h,whereas theλof the blended AlN/PMHS composites decreases sharply to 93.7%.

文摘An all-solid-state ion-selective electrode(ISE)for the detection of potassium ions in complex media was developed based on functional peptides with both antibacterial and antifouling properties.While exhibiting unique antifouling property,the ISE capitalized on the high surface area of the conductive metalorganic framework(MOF)solid transducer layer to facilitate rapid ion-electron transfer,consequently improving the electrode stability.For a short period,the application of a±1 n A current to the ISE resulted in a slight potential drift of 2.5μV/s,while for a long-term stability test,the ISE maintained a stable Nernstian response slope over 8 days.The antifouling and antibacterial peptide effectively eradicated bacteria from the electrode surface while inhibited the adhesion of bacteria and other biological organisms.Both theoretical calculations and experimental results indicated that the incorporation of peptides in the sensing membrane did not compromise the detection performance of the ISE.The prepared antifouling potassium ion-selective electrode exhibited a Nernstian response range spanning from 1.0×10^(–8)mol/L to 1.0×10–3mol/L,with a detection limit of 2.51 nmol/L.Crucially,the prepared solid-contact ISE maintained excellent antifouling and sensing capabilities in actual seawater and human urine,indicating a promising feasibility of this strategy for constructing ISEs suitable for practical application in complex systems.

文摘Garnet Li_(7)La_(3)Zr_(2)O_(12)(LLZO)electrolytes have been recognized as a promising candidate to replace liquid/molten-state electrolytes in battery applications due to their exceptional performance,particularly Ga-doped LLZO(LLZGO),which exhibits high ionic conductivity.However,the limited size of the Liþtransport bottleneck restricts its high-current discharging performance.The present study focuses on the synthesis of Ga^(3+)þand Ba^(2+)þco-doped LLZO(LLZGBO)and investigates the influence of doping contents on the morphology,crystal structure,Liþtransport bottleneck size,and ionic conductivity.In particular,Ga_(0.32)Ba_(0.15)exhibits the highest ionic conductivity(6.11E-2 S cm^(-1) at 550 C)in comparison with other compositions,which can be attributed to its higher-energy morphology,larger bottleneck and unique Liþtransport channel.In addition to Ba^(2+),Sr^(2+)þand Ca^(2+)have been co-doped with Ga3þinto LLZO,respectively,to study the effect of doping ion radius on crystal structures and the properties of electrolytes.The characterization results demonstrate that the easier Liþtransport and higher ionic conductivity can be obtained when the electrolyte is doped with larger-radius ions.As a result,the assembled thermal battery with Ga_(0.32)Ba_(0.15)-LLZO electrolyte exhibits a remarkable voltage platform of 1.81 V and a high specific capacity of 455.65 mA h g^(-1) at an elevated temperature of 525℃.The discharge specific capacity of the thermal cell at 500 mA amounts to 63%of that at 100 mA,showcasing exceptional high-current discharging performance.When assembled as prototypes with fourteen single cells connected in series,the thermal batteries deliver an activation time of 38 ms and a discharge time of 32 s with the current density of 100 mA cm^(-2).These findings suggest that Ga,Ba co-doped LLZO solid-state electrolytes with high ionic conductivities holds great potential for high-capacity,quick-initiating and high-current discharging thermal batteries.
