Architecture engineering of hierarchically porous chitosan/vacuum-stripped graphene scaffold as bioanode for high performance microbial fuel cell

The bioanode is the defining feature of microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology and often limits its performance. In the current work, we report the engineering of a novel hierarchically porous architecture as an efficient bioanode, consisting of biocompatible chitosan and vacuum-stripped graphene (CHI/VSG). With the hierarchical pores and unique VSG, an optimized bioanode delivered a remarkable maximum power density of 1530 mW m(-2) in a mediator-less MFC, 78 times higher than a carbon cloth anode.     

Connecting Chinese Standards to IEC Standards

During research on different stan- dards for electrical accessories and household electrical appliances it has been suggested that to connect Chinese standards to IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission)standards we should carry out essential innovations based on assimilat- ing according to our own practical conditions.This method is the only way to standardize and at the same time maintain Chinese characteristics.     

Analysis of the drude model in metallic films

A method, believed to be new, to simulate Drude parameters for collective oscillation of the free carriers in metallic films is proposed. Plasma resonance frequency and relaxation were simulated simultaneously from both the real and the imaginary parts of the dielectric function of a metallic film after consideration of their correlation in the Drude model. As examples, the contributions of the electrons in Ag films and of the free carriers in metallic silicide, NbSi(2) and TaSi(2), films have been studied.     

Microstructure and mechanical property of laser melting deposition (LMD) Ti/TiAl structural gradient material

This article presents fabrication, microstructure and mechanical properties study of Ti/TiAl functional gradient material. Ti–47Al–2.5V–Cr/Ti–6Al–2Zr–Mo–V gradient material was successfully fabricated by the laser melting deposition (LMD) manufacturing process. Microstructure and chemical composition was characterized by OM, SEM, TEM and EPMA. The Vickers hardness and room-temperature tensile property was evaluated on longitudinal direction. Results showed that fully lamellar (FL) microstructure consisted of γ-TiAl and α₂-Ti₃Al was formed on the Ti–47Al–2.5V–Cr side, while coarse basket weave microstructure was formed on the Ti–6Al–2Zr–1Mo–1V side. No cracking was found in the gradient zone after aging at 800 °C for 48 h. The room-temperature tensile strength of the as-deposited specimen is up to approximately 1198.8 MPa in the longitudinal direction, while the tensile elongation is approximately 0.4%, indicating a typical brittle fracture.     

PS-b-PNIPAAm嵌段共聚物多孔薄膜的制备及形貌研究

将两亲性PS-b-PNIPAAm嵌段共聚物(BCP)溶解在四氢呋喃中配制成浓度为2%(质量分数)的溶液,旋涂后得到初生嵌段共聚物薄膜,以乙醇为退火溶剂退火后,探讨了退火时间对薄膜微孔结构的影响,结果表明,随着退火时间的延长,膜表面的微相分离越明显,微孔结构的分布更均匀。进一步将在乙醇中退火预处理的薄膜分别在乙醇或去离子水中进行溶胀处理,通过选择性溶胀成孔法制备PS-bPNIPAAm纳米多孔膜。研究了溶胀时间、温度及溶剂类型对薄膜形貌的影响,结果发现升高溶胀温度和延长溶胀时间均有助于膜表面微孔结构的形成,且该过程中乙醇的成孔作用比水的作用更为明显。

Self-assembly synthesis of cactuslike Cu2O 3D nanoarchitectures via a low-temperature solution approach

Cu₂O nanocactuses were synthesized via a simple, low-temperature, and no time-consuming wet chemical route. The synthesized products were systematically studied by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the formation of Cu₂O nanocactuses was strongly depended on the addition of CTAB and NaOH. The structural evolution of the cactuslike Cu₂O was found to follow dissolution and recrystallization processes. It is noteworthy that the stepwise synthetic procedure was crucial to the growth of the final nanoarchitectures. UV–vis spectrum was also used to estimate the absorption and photodegradation ability of the nanocactuses.
