Superhydrophobic Surfaces by Electrochemical Processes

This review is an exhaustive representation of the electrochemical processes reported in the literature to produce superhydrophobic surfaces. Due to the intensive demand in the elaboration of superhydrophobic materials using low‐cost, reproducible and fast methods, the use of strategies based on electrochemical processes have exponentially grown these last five years. These strategies are separated in two parts: the oxidation processes, such as oxidation of metals in solution, the anodization of metals or the electrodeposition of conducting polymers, and the reduction processed such as the electrodeposition of metals or the galvanic deposition. One of the main advantages of the electrochemical processes is the relative easiness to produce various surface morphologies and a precise control of the structures at a micro‐ or a nanoscale.     

Bioinspired Stimuli‐Responsive and Antifreeze‐Secreting Anti‐Icing Coatings

The detrimental impacts of icing on transportation and power industries are well‐known. Inspired by natural systems that secrete a functional liquid in response to stimuli, this work introduces an anti‐icing coating that responds to surface icing by releasing antifreeze liquid. It consists of an outer porous superhydrophobic epidermis and a wick‐like underlying dermis that is infused with antifreeze liquid. The functionality of the new coating is validated through condensation frosting, simulated freezing fog, and freezing rain experiments. In the tested conditions, the introduced anti‐icing skin delays onset of frost, rime, and glaze accumulation at least ten times longer than anti‐icing superhydrophobic and lubricant impregnated surfaces. Furthermore, the coating delays onset of glaze formation ten times longer than surfaces flooded with a thin film of antifreeze. In each of the icing scenarios, the fundamental mechanisms responsible for antifreeze release and their relation to required antifreeze replenishment rates are described.

A general synthesis for PEDOT-coated nonconductive materials and PEDOT hollow particles by aqueous chemical polymerization

A method for coating functionalized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) on nonconductive substrates in aqueous solution allows the deposition of PEDOT thin layers on various substrates, including silica and polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles, siliceous mesocellular foam, and chitosan-alginate fibers. The surface property is tuned by controlling the monomer composition in the aqueous solutions. Using appropriate organic solvents to remove the PS cores of PEDOT-coated PS nanoparticles, hollow PEDOT particles with single holes and PEDOT capsules can be formed.

Toward Flexible Polymer and Paper‐Based Energy Storage Devices

All‐polymer and paper‐based energy storage devices have significant inherent advantages in comparison with many currently employed batteries and supercapacitors regarding environmental friendliness, flexibility, cost and versatility. The research within this field is currently undergoing an exciting development as new polymers, composites and paper‐based devices are being developed. In this report, we review recent progress concerning the development of flexible energy storage devices based on electronically conducting polymers and cellulose containing composites with particular emphasis on paper‐based batteries and supercapacitors. We discuss recent progress in the development of the most commonly used electronically conducting polymers used in flexible device prototypes, the advantages and disadvantages of this type of energy storage devices, as well as the two main approaches used in the manufacturing of paper‐based charge storage devices.     

Electrochemical preparation and electrochemical behavior of polypyrrole/carbon nanotube composite films

Polypyrrole/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composite films were electrochemically deposited in the presence of an ionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), acting as both supporting electrolyte and dispersant. The effects of the surfactant and the MWNT concentrations on the structure of the resulting composite films were investigated. The electrochemical behavior of the resulting polypyrrole/MWNT composite film was investigated as well by cyclic voltammogram. The effect of the additional alternating electric field applied during the constant direct potential electrochemical deposition on the morphology and electrochemical behavior of the resulting composite film was also investigated in this study.     

Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles with both sensitive plasmonic properties and tunable magnetism

Monodisperse Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles with relatively uniform Fe cores and Ag shells have been successfully fabricated by a seed mediated method in a two-step reducing process, and then characterized by electron microscopy techniques (HRTEM, EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis spectroscopy,and magnetometry. The results demonstrate unique optical and magnetic properties for Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles. The surface plasmon resonance of Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles is red shifted as compared with that of pure colloidal nano-silver, while the plasmon band of Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles with thinner Ag shells is shifted to a longer wavelength. Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles have a narrow plasmon band and therefore sensitive plasmonic properties. The magnetism of Fe@Ag nanoparticles can be tuned from superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic by modifying the proportion between Fe and Ag contents. The multifunctional Fe@Ag core-shell nanoparticles have potential in optoelectronic, spintronic, and biomedicine applications.

Direct Ink Writing of Pickering Emulsions Generates Ultralight Conducting Polymer Foams with Hierarchical Structure and Multifunctionality

Porous materials with multiple hierarchy levels can be useful as lightweight engineering structures, biomedical implants, flexible functional devices, and thermal insulators. Numerous routes have integrated bottom-up and top-down approaches for the generation of engineering materials with lightweight nature, complex structures, and excellent mechanical properties. It nonetheless remains challenging to generate ultralight porous materials with hierarchical architectures and multi-functionality. Here, the combined strategy based on Pickering emulsions and additive manufacturing leads to the development of ultralight conducting polymer foams with hierarchical pores and multifunctional performance. Direct writing of the emulsified inks consisting of the nano-oxidant—hydrated vanadium pentoxide nanowires—generated free-standing scaffolds, which are stabilized by the interfacial organization of the nanowires into network structures. The following in situ oxidative polymerization transforms the nano-oxidant scaffolds into foams consisting of a typical conducting polymer—polyaniline. The lightweight polyaniline foams featured by hierarchical pores and high surface areas show excellent performances in the applications of supercapacitor electrodes, planar micro-supercapacitors, and gas sensors. This emerging technology demonstrates the great potential of a combination of additive manufacturing with complex fluids for the generation of functional solids with lightweight nature and adjustable structure-function relationships.
