文摘In this study,a facile method was employed to synthesize strong,yet highly elastic polyurethane-urea(PUU)with typical characteristics and 94% optical transmittance.Graphene platelets(GNPs)were prepared and modified via a scalable and eco-friendly mechanochemical approach.The produced GNPs is at 1.6-nm thickness with high electrical conductivity of~950 S/m.The structure-property relations of PUU/GNP nanocomposites were comprehensively investigated through morphology and mechanical properties measurements.The strong interface and high-density hydrogen bonds between modified GNPs(M-GNPs)and PUU significantly enhanced the mechanical properties of the PUU nanocomposite.The PUU composite showed 66.7%and 36.2%increments in tensile and impact strengths,respectively,at 0.2 wt% M-GNPs.The reversible hydrogen bond between M-GNPs and PUU endowed the nanocomposite with self-healing properties achieving 97.8% healing efficiency of the strength after 5 h at 120℃.This study demonstrates the importance of surface modification and provides a simple yet robust approach for preparing high-performance and functional PUU/graphene composites.

文摘Graphite,encompassing both natural graphite and synthetic graphite,and graphene,have been extensively utilized and investigated as anode materials and additives in lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).In the pursuit of carbon neutrality,LIBs are expected to play a pivotal role in reducing CO_(2)emissions by decreasing reliance on fossil fuels and enabling the integration of renewable energy sources.Owing to their technological maturity and exceptional electrochemical performance,the global production of graphite and graphene for LIBs is projected to continue expanding.Over the past decades,numerous researchers have concentrated on reducing the material and energy input whilst optimising the electrochemical performance of graphite and graphene,through novel synthesis methods and various modifications at the laboratory scale.This review provides a comprehensive examination of the manufacturing methods,environmental impact,research progress,and challenges associated with graphite and graphene in LIBs from an industrial perspective,with a particular focus on the carbon footprint of production processes.Additionally,it considers emerging challenges and future development directions of graphite and graphene,offering significant insights for ongoing and future research in the field of green LIBs.

文摘With the convergence of sensor technology,artificial intelligence,and the Internet of Things,intelligent vibration monitoring systems are undergoing transformative development.This evolution imposes stringent demands on the miniaturization,low power consumption,high integration,and environmental adaptability of transducers.Graphene,renowned for its superlative physicochemical attributes,holds significant promise for application in micro-and nanoelectromechanical systems(M/NEMS).However,the inherent central symmetry of graphene restricts its utility in piezoelectric devices.Inspired by the sensilla trichoidea of spiders,a threedimensional(3D)cilia-like monolayer graphene omnidirectional vibration transducer(CGVT)based on a stress-induced self-assembly mechanism is fabricated,demonstrating notable performance and high-temperature resistance.Furthermore,3D vibration vector decoding is realized via an omnidirectional decoupling algorithm based on one-dimensional convolutional neural networks(1DCNN)to achieve precise discrimination of vibration directions.The 3D bionic vibration-sensing system incorporates a spider web structure into a bionic cilia MEMS chip through a gold wire bonding process,enabling the realization of three distinct mechanisms for vibration detection and recognition.In particular,these devices are manufactured using silicon-based semiconductor processing techniques and MEMS fabrication methodologies,leading to a substantial reduction in the dimensions of individual components compared to traditional counterparts.

文摘With the miniaturization and high-frequency evolution of antennas in 5G/6G communications,aerospace,and transportation,polymer composite papers integrating superior wave-transparent performance and thermal conductivity for radar antenna systems are urgently needed.Herein,a down-top strategy was employed to synthesize poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole)precursor nanofibers(prePNF).The prePNF was then uniformly mixed with fluorinated graphene(FG)to fabricate FG/PNF composite papers through consecutively suction filtration,hot-pressing,and thermal annealing.The hydroxyl and amino groups in prePNF enhanced the stability of FG/prePNF dispersion,while the increasedπ-πinteractions between PNF and FG after annealing improved their compatibility.The preparation time and cost of PNF paper was significantly reduced when applying this strategy,which enabled its large-scale production.Furthermore,the prepared FG/PNF composite papers exhibited excellent wave-transparent performance and thermal conductivity.When the mass fraction of FG was 40 wt%,the FG/PNF composite paper prepared via the down-top strategy achieved the wave-transparent coefficient(|T|2)of 96.3%under 10 GHz,in-plane thermal conductivity(λ_(∥))of 7.13 W m^(−1)K^(−1),and through-plane thermal conductivity(λ_(⊥))of 0.67 W m^(−1)K^(−1),outperforming FG/PNF composite paper prepared by the top-down strategy(|T|2=95.9%,λ_(∥)=5.52 W m^(−1)K^(−1),λ_(⊥)=0.52 W m^(−1)K^(−1))and pure PNF paper(|T|2=94.7%,λ_(∥)=3.04 W m^(−1)K^(−1),λ_(⊥)=0.24 W m^(−1)K^(−1)).Meanwhile,FG/PNF composite paper(with 40 wt%FG)through the down-top strategy also demonstrated outstanding mechanical properties with tensile strength and toughness reaching 197.4 MPa and 11.6 MJ m^(−3),respectively.

文摘We numerically investigate the effect of in-plane bending strain on valley-resolved conductance and valley polarization in a graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edges.The central region of the nanoribbon is bent into an arc with central angleφ.We find that the bending strain reduces the conductance but enhances the valley polarization.In the valley-resolved conductance spectra,there exist single-valley plateaus near the Dirac points and distinct Fano-type dips.Accordingly,a plateau of full valley polarization appears,which expands significantly at largeφ.At valleyresolved conductance dips,the valley polarization can be much larger than that in the unstrained case.The bending-induced enhancement of valley polarization can be explained by the features of pseudo-Landau levels in the bent region.Strain-induced valley polarization depends nonmonotonously on the nanoribbon width.These findings could be helpful in designing valleytronic devices with flexibility.
文摘In this study,the multi-scale(meso and macro)modelling was used to predict the electric response of the material.Porosity was introduced through a sugar-templating process to enhance compressibility and sensitivity.Mean-field homogenization was employed to predict the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposites,which was validated experimentally through I–V characterisation,confirming stable Ohmic behavior.The homogenised material parameters were incorporated into COMSOLMultiphysics to simulate diaphragmdeflection and capacitance variation under applied pressure.Experimental results showed a linear and stable capacitance response at the force magnitude of 0–7 N.The Graphene nanoplatelets(GnP)–Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)sensor demonstrated superior sensitivity(0.0032 pF/N)compared to the CNT–PDMS sensor(0.0019 pF/N),attributed to improved filler dispersion and higher effective surface area of GnP.Finite element simulations were further conducted to evaluate stress distribution in a GnP–PDMS-based capacitive sensor integrated into a shoe insole for gait analysis.The results correlated well with experimental capacitance changes,validating the sensor’s mechanical reliability and pressure sensitivity.This comparative study establishes the GnP–PDMS composite as a more effective candidate for low-cost,biocompatible,and high-performance flexible pressure sensors in wearable biomedical and gait monitoring applications.

文摘Improving device efficiency is fundamental for advancing energy harvesting technology,particularly in systems designed to convert light energy into electrical output.In our previous studies,we developed a basic structure light pressure electric generator(Basic-LPEG),which utilized a layered configuration of Ag/Pb(Zr,Ti)O_(3)(PZT)/Pt/GaAs to generate electricity based on light-induced pressure on the PZT.In this study,we sought to enhance the performance of this Basic-LPEG by introducing Ag nanoparticles/graphene oxide(AgNPs/GO)composite units(NP-LPEG),creating upgraded harvesting device.Specifically,by depositing the AgNPs/GO units twice onto the Basic-LPEG,we observed an increase in output voltage and current from 241 mV and 3.1μA to 310 mV and 9.3μA,respectively,under a solar simulator.The increase in electrical output directly correlated with the intensity of the light pressure impacting the PZT,as well as matched the Raman measurements,finite-difference time-domain simulations,and COMSOL Multiphysics Simulation.Experimental data revealed that the enhancement in electrical output was proportional to the number of hot spots generated between Ag nanoparticles,where the electric field experienced substantial amplification.These results underline the effectiveness of AgNPs/GO units in boosting the light-induced electric generation capacity,thereby providing a promising pathway for high-efficiency energy harvesting devices.
文摘Laser-induced graphene(LIG)has emerged as a versatile,sustainable material for advanced energy technologies,offering a scalable,catalyst-free,and programmable method to directly convert carbon-rich substrates into porous,conductive graphene.This single-step laser writing approach enables flexible,patternable electrodes without complex post-processing.With its high conductivity,large surface area,and tunable chemistry,LIG is well-suited for diverse applications including batteries,supercapacitors,dyesensitized solar cells(DSSCs),dual cells,water-splitting electrocatalysis,and triboelectric nanogenerators(TENGs).In energy storage,LIG improves charge transport,buffer volume changes,and provides a robust framework,enhancing capacitance,cycling stability,and rate capability.Its catalytic activity is further boosted through heteroatom doping or transition-metal incorporation,achieving HER/OER performance comparable to noble metals.In DSSCs,LIG functions as a flexible,low-cost alternative to platinum counter electrodes,while in TENGs,its strong triboelectric response and mechanical durability enable integration into self-powered,wearable systems.Despite the immense recent progress in this field,challenges remain regarding the scalability,long-term operational stability,and interfacial engineering of LIGbased composites.Further exploration into multi-laser systems,substrate diversity,and synergistic composite architectures will be crucial to optimizing device performance and reliability.Nevertheless,the green,cost-efficient,rapid,and programmable synthesis of LIG poses it as a cornerstone potential building block material in the development of future sustainable and multifunctional energy systems.Throughout the review we compare fabrication strategies,summarize performance metrics against relevant benchmarks,and identifying common mechanistic advantages conferred by the laser writing process.Remaining challenges-such as scale-up,precursor diversity,long-term environmental stability,and integration into complex device architectures-are outlined alongside prospective research directions.Collectively,this review article provides an in-depth perspective on the multifunctional nature of LIG,underscoring its promise in next-generation energy storage,conversion,harvesting applications,and laying the groundwork for future research directions.

文摘Carbon coatings for silicon(Si)-based anode materials are essential for designing high-performance Li-ion batteries(LIBs).The coatings prevent direct contact with the electrolyte and enhance anode performance.However,conventional carbon coatings are limited by their volume expansion and structural degradation,which lead to capacity fading and reduced durability.This study introduces a scalable and practical one-step carbon-coating strategy for directly coating silicon suboxide(SiO_(x))-based materials using aqueous quasi-defect-free reduced graphene oxide(QrGO)without post-treatment,unlike conventional graphene oxide(GO)-based coating methods.This simple process enables uniform encapsulation with QrGO for a highly adhesive and conductive coating.The QrGO-based composite anode material has several advantages,including reduced cracking due to volume expansion and enhanced charge carrier transport,as well as an increased Si content of 20 wt.%compared to the 5 wt.%in typical commercial Si-based active materials.In particular,the capacity retention of the QrGO-coated Si electrodes dramatically increases at high C-rate.The full cell exhibited long-term stability and capacity that were twice that of commercial SiO_(x)-based cells.Therefore,the QrGO-based one-step coating process represents a scalable,transformative,and commercially viable strategy for developing high-performance LIBs.

文摘We employed oxygen plasma treatment to activate the PTFE surface and introduce oxygencontaining polar groups(-OH,C-O,C=O),thereby enhancing surface energy and interfacial reactivity.We subsequently composited the modified PTFE(PTFE-O)with graphene oxide(GO),enabling tight interactions between the two phases through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces.Comprehensive characterizations,including XPS,FTIR,SEM,and contact angle analysis,confirmed the successful surface modification and uniform dispersion of GO.The optimized PTFE-O/GO composite exhibits a low resistivity of 2.41×10^(3)Ω·cm under a compression pressure of 2 MPa,demonstrating markedly improved conductivity and antistatic performance.These findings provide an effective route for constructing conductive PTFE-based composites and offer new insights into interface-engineered antistatic polymer materials.

文摘Artificial intelligence(AI)based models have been used to predict the structural,optical,mechanical,and electrochemical properties of zinc oxide/graphene oxide nanocomposites.Machine learning(ML)models such as Artificial Neural Networks(ANN),Support Vector Regression(SVR),Multilayer Perceptron(MLP),and hybrid,along with fuzzy logic tools,were applied to predict the different properties like wavelength at maximum intensity(444 nm),crystallite size(17.50 nm),and optical bandgap(2.85 eV).While some other properties,such as energy density,power density,and charge transfer resistance,were also predicted with the help of datasets of 1000(80:20).In general,the energy parameters were predicted more accurately by hybrid models.The hydrothermal method was used to synthesize graphene oxide(GO)and zinc oxide(ZnO)nanocomposites.The increased surface area,conductivity,and stability of graphene oxide in zinc oxide nanoparticles make the composite an ideal option for energy storage.X-ray diffraction(XRD)confirmed the crystallite size of 17.41 nm for the nanocomposite and the presence of GO(12.8○)peaks.The scanning electron microscope(SEM)showed anchored wrinkled GO sheets on zinc oxide with an average particle size of 2.93μm.Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX)confirmed the elemental composition,and Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)revealed the impact of GO on functional groups and electrochemical behavior.Photoluminescence(PL)wavelength of(439 nm)and band gap of(2.81 eV)show that the material is suitable for energy applications in nanocomposites.Smart nanocomposite materials with improved performance in energy storage and related applications were fabricated by combining synthesis,characterization,fuzzy logic,and machine learning in this work.

文摘The practical use of lithium metal anodes(LMAs)is impeded by uncontrolled dendrite growth,primarily caused by uneven Li-ion flux and significant volume changes during cycling.To overcome these challenges,we present binder-free holey wrinkled-multilayered graphene(HWMG)scaffolds for highperformance LMAs with long cycle life.Holey graphene oxide(HGO)sheets were restacked into particle-like holey wrinkled-multilayered graphene oxide(HWMGO)in a high-concentration GO suspension,in which few-layer HGOs were quickly stabilized and wrinkled during the drying process,and upon reduction,they transformed into HWMG.HWMG exhibited excellent adhesion due to chemical interactions via edge-located functional groups.Its particle-like morphology,with numerous nanopores and high porosity,conferred outstanding mechanical flexibility and low tortuosity,enabling uniform Li-ion flux,buffering volume expansion,and suppressing dendrite growth.As a result,excellent long-term stability over 800 cycles and a voltage hysteresis of ca.7 mV over 6000 h were realized for the HWMG scaffolds,and a high areal capacity of 3.34 mAh cm^(-2) at 0.3 C after 350 cycles was demonstrated in a full-cell configuration.This work promotes the practical application of LMAs by offering a scalable scaffold design that suppresses dendrites and enhances cycle life.

文摘When two layers of graphene are stacked with a twist angle of approximately 1.1°,strong interlayer coupling gives rise to a pair of flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene(TBG),resulting in pronounced electron–electron interactions.At half filling of the flat bands,TBG exhibits correlated insulating states.Here,we investigate the electrical transport properties of heterostructures composed of TBG and the antiferromagnetic insulator chromium oxychloride(CrOCl),and propose a strategy to modulate the correlated insulating states in TBG.During the transition from a conventional phase to a strong interfacial coupling phase,kink-like features are observed in the charge neutrality point(CNP),correlated insulating state,and band insulating state.Under a perpendicular magnetic field,the system exhibits broadened quantum Hall plateaus in the strong interfacial coupling regime.Electrons localized in the CrOCl layer screen the bottom gate,rendering the carrier density in TBG less sensitive to variations in the bottom gate voltage.These phenomena are well captured by a charge-transfer model between TBG and CrOCl.Our results provide insights into the control of electronic correlations and topological states in graphene moirésystems via interfacial charge coupling.

文摘Flash Joule heating(FJH),as a high-efficiency and low-energy consumption technology for advanced materials synthesis,has shown significant potential in the synthesis of graphene and other functional carbon materials.Based on the Joule effect,the solid carbon sources can be rapidly heated to ultra-high temperatures(>3000 K)through instantaneous high-energy current pulses during FJH,thus driving the rapid rearrangement and graphitization of carbon atoms.This technology demonstrates numerous advantages,such as solvent-and catalyst-free features,high energy conversion efficiency,and a short process cycle.In this review,we have systematically summarized the technology principle and equipment design for FJH,as well as its raw materials selection and pretreatment strategies.The research progress in the FJH synthesis of flash graphene,carbon nanotubes,graphene fibers,and anode hard carbon,as well as its by-products,is also presented.FJH can precisely optimize the microstructures of carbon materials(e.g.,interlayer spacing of turbostratic graphene,defect concentration,and heteroatom doping)by regulating its operation parameters like flash voltage and flash time,thereby enhancing their performances in various applications,such as composite reinforcement,metal-ion battery electrodes,supercapacitors,and electrocatalysts.However,this technology is still challenged by low process yield,macroscopic material uniformity,and green power supply system construction.More research efforts are also required to promote the transition of FJH from laboratory to industrial-scale applications,thus providing innovative solutions for advanced carbon materials manufacturing and waste management toward carbon neutrality.

文摘This study investigates the anisotropic thermal conductivity of aluminum matrix composites reinforced with graphene nano-plates(GNPs)and in situ ZrB_(2) nanoparticles,while simultaneously maintaining high strength and toughness.A discontinuous layered GNPs-ZrB_(2)/AA6111 composite was prepared using in situ melt reactions and semi-solid stirring casting technology,combined with hot rolling deformation processing.Microstructural analysis revealed that the GNPs were aligned parallel to the rolling direction-transverse direction(RD-TD)plane,whereas the ZrB_(2) nanoparticles aggregated into cluster strips,collectively forming a discontinuous layered structure.This multilayer arrangement maximized the in-plane thermal conductivity of the GNPs.The tightly bonded GNP/Al interfaces with the locking of CuAl_(2) nanoparticles ensured that the GNPs fully exploited their high thermal conductivity.Therefore,the GNPs-ZrB_(2)/AA6111 composite achieved high in-plane thermal conductivity(230 W/(m·K)),which is higher than that of the matrix(206 W/(m·K)).The improved in-plane thermal conductivity is primarily attributed to the exceptionally high intrinsic in-plane thermal conductivity of the GNPs and their two-dimensional layered structure.However,the composite exhibited pronounced thermal conductivity anisotropy in the in-plane and through-plane directions.The reduced through-plane thermal conductivity is predominantly caused by the intrinsically low through-plane thermal conductivity of the GNPs and the increased interfacial thermal resistance from the additional grain boundaries.
