Victor Aristov and colleagues indicate that graphene has the potential to replace silicon in high-speed computer processors and other devices. Standing in the way, however, are today's cumbersome, expensive production methods, which result in poor-quality graphene and are not practical for industrial...
Super graphene-skinned materials are emerging membersof the graphenecomposite materials family, which are produced through the high-temperaturechemical deposition of continuous graphene layers on traditional engineeringmaterials. The high-performance graphene "skin" endowsthe traditional engineering materials with...
SnO 2 confining growth in layered graphene fibers toward superb volumetric lithium storage and flexibilityFor the burgeoning fiber-shaped batteries as a desirable wearable power supply, the priority is to construct fiber-shaped electrodes with high volumetric capacity because of the limited usable space...
17].The plasma-etched carbon cloth (P-CC) with defects and oxygen doping show enhanced catalytic activities for oxygen electrocatalysis [18]. Theoretically, it is revealed that the defective graphene containing carboxyl
59 In addition, Zhang's group prepared well-defined single-layer 2D nitrogen-rich graphene-like COFs (NG-COFs; Figure 5F).60 The single-layer NG-COFs with 11.65 Å in micropores and a packing distance of 3.34 Å are shown in Figure 5G. As anode materials for LIBs, the NG-COFs ...
Chemical C–N coupling from CO2 and NO3–, driven by renewable electricity, toward urea synthesis is an appealing alternative for Bosch–Meiser urea production. However, the unmatched kinetics in CO2 and NO3– reduction reactions and the complexity of C-
Due to their outstanding optoelectronic properties, lead-based halide perovskite materials have been applied as efficient photoactive materials in solution-processed solar cells. Current record efficiencies offer the promise to surpass those of silicon s
With the aim of fabricating multifunctional fibers with enhanced mechanical properties, electrical conductivity and electrochemical performance, we develop wet-spinning of composite formulation based on functionalized PEG-SWNT and PEDOT:PSS. The method of addition and loading are directly correlated to the...
Fig. 1. Synthetic route for the production of several valuable and intriguing furanic chemicals from lignocellulose through the selective oxidation of HMF and the wide applications of these products (2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA), 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furoic ...
Considering large-scale practical applications of composite PCMs, there are some negative factors in graphene- and CNT-based composite PCMs, such as complex preparation process, low yield, and high cost. These shortcomings have severely hindered their talent display in the fields of practical thermal...
