Significant improvements in mechanical property and water stability of chitosan by carbon nanotubes

In this work, high storage modulus and high water stability of chitosan was prepared by incorporating chitosan-grafted carbon nanotubes (CNTs-g-CS). This dramatically improved mechanical property and water stability of chitosan would broaden its biochemical and electrochemical applications. The methodology adopted here by incorporating the CNTs-g-CS allowed a high amount of CNTs incorporation in chitosan without phase separations and enabled the preparations of a durable chitosan/CNTs nanocomposite-modified electrode for biosensor uses. The CNTs-g-CS was synthesized by grafting chitosan onto the carboxylated CNTs in acetic acid-added aqueous solution at 98 °C for 24 h. Thermal gravimetric analysis showed that the content of the chitosan grafts on the CNTs was about 25 wt% of the synthesized CNTs-g-CS. As compared with the ungrafted CNTs, the CNTs-g-CS exhibited a significantly improved dispersion in the chitosan matrix, as examined by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, resulting in significantly improved storage modulus and water stability of the chitosan nanocomposites as revealed by dynamic mechanical analysis and water treatments data, respectively. The storage modulus was significantly up by 134% from 6.4 GPa for the pure chitosan to 15 GPa for the chitosan nanocomposite containing 40 wt% CNTs-g-CS. The water stability of the chitosan nanocomposite films was significantly up from less than 12 h for the chitosan containing various amounts of ungrafted CNTs to at least 48 h for the chitosan containing 20, 30, and 40 wt% CNTs-g-CS.     

Effects of carbon nanotubes on the thermal stability and flame retardancy of intumescent flame-retarded polypropylene

Flame retardant mixtures of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and intumescent flame retardant (IFR) were embedded in polypropylene (PP) to investigate what will happen if the additives exhibit two different flame retardation mechanisms. TEM tests showed that CNTs dispersed homogenously in PP matrix without any visible agglomeration. The effects of CNTs on thermal stability and flammability of PP were investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) and cone calorimetry tests, respectively. Results indicated that the introduction of CNTs only enhanced thermal stability of materials in a certain temperature range, but caused a severe deterioration of flame retardancy due to the interaction of the network structure and the intumescent carbonaceous char. Furthermore, conditions for an intumescent flame retardation system to behave with high efficiency were also discussed by a secondary combustion test.     

High‐Efficiency Encapsulation of Pt Nanoparticles into the Channel of Carbon Nanotubes as an Enhanced Electrocatalyst for Methanol Oxidation

Pt‐based nanostructures serving as anode catalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) have been widely studied for many years. Nevertheless, challenging issues such as poor reaction kinetics and the short‐term stability of the MOR are the main drawbacks of such catalysts and limit their applications. Herein, we have developed a facile approach to encapsulate Pt nanoparticles (NPs) inside the nanochannels of porous carbon nanotubes (CNTs; Pt‐in‐CNTs) as a new enhanced electrocatalytic material. The as‐prepared CNTs offer simultaneously ordered diffusion channels for ions and a confinement effect for the NPs, which both facilitate the promotion of catalytic kinetics and avoid the Ostwald ripening of Pt NPs, thus leading to high activity and durable cycle life as an anode catalyst for MOR. This work provides a new approach for enhancing the stability and activity by optimizing the structure of the catalyst, and the Pt‐in‐CNTs represent the most durable catalysts ever reported for MOR.     

Microstructure control of MnO2/CNT hybrids under in-situ hydrothermal conditions

In this work, single-crystalline MnO₂ nanoparticles were directly grown on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) homogeneously under in-situ hydrothermal conditions, during which the CNTs were well dispersed in aqueous solution with the aid of dodecyl benzene sulphonic acid sodium (SDBS). This stable suspension ensures the continuous deposition of the MnO₂ nanocrystals. It was found that the MnO₂/CNTs nanocomposites formed in the presence of CNTs, but the MnO₂ nanowires formed without CNTs under the same hydrothermal conditions. Moreover, the as-synthesized MnO₂/CNTs sample showed a high specific capacity and cycling stability, which was ascribed to its highly-homogeneous hybrid nanostructure. This homogeneous MnO₂/CNTs nanocomposite is shown to be able to take full advantages of both the high capacity of MnO₂ and the high electron conductivity of CNTs by integrating them homogeneously. This homogeneous hybrid nanostructure is a promising electrode material for energy storage/conversion devices with excellent performances.

Microenvironment Effects in Electrocatalysis: Ionic‐Liquid‐Like Coating on Carbon Nanotubes Enhances the Pd‐Electrocatalytic Alcohol Oxidation

A new catalyst consisting of ionic liquid (IL)‐functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) obtained through 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition support‐enhanced electrocatalytic Pd nanoparticles (Pd@IL(Cl^?)‐CNTs) was successfully fabricated and applied in direct ethanol alkaline fuel cells. The morphology, structure, component and stability of Pd@IL(Cl^?)‐CNTs were systematic characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Raman spectra, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The new catalyst exhibited higher electrocatalytic activity, better tolerance and electrochemical stability than the Pd nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized on CNTs (Pd@CNTs), which was ascribed to the effects of the IL, larger electrochemically active surface area (ECSA), and greater processing performance. Cyclic voltammograms (CVs) at various scan rates illustrated that the oxidation behaviors of ethanol at all electrodes were controlled by diffusion processes. The investigation of the different counteranions demonstrated that the performance of the IL‐CNTs hybrid material was profoundly influenced by the subtly varied structures of the IL moiety. All the results indicated that the Pd@IL(Cl^?)‐CNTs catalyst is an efficient anode catalyst, which has potential applications in direct ethanol fuel cells and the strategy of IL functionalization of CNTs could be available to prepare other carbonaceous carrier supports to enhance the dispersivity, stability, and catalytic performance of metal NPs as well.     

Fabrication of Tiron Doped Poly-Pyrrole/Carbon Nanotubes on Low Resistance Monolayer-Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode for Selective Determination of Dopamine

In this paper, we described a novel sensor based on tiron-doped polypyrrole and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) fabricated on low resistance monolayer-modified glassy carbon electrode. First, the dodecylamine monolayer was chemically modified. Second, CNTs were controllably adsorbed onto dodecylamine. Then, tiron doped polypyrrole was electro-deposited on the CNTs film. The layer-by-layer modified electrode was sensitive to dopamine, while it made no response to even high concentration of ascorbic acid. Parameters influencing the dopamine response were optimized. High performance of the sensor was obtained, such as wide concentration range, low detection limit (3 nM), low background current, high stability, and reproducibility.     

Electrostatic Interactions Leading to Hierarchical Interpenetrating Electroconductive Networks in Silicon Anodes for Fast Lithium Storage

Recently, the frequency of combining MXene, which has unique properties such as metal-level conductivity and large specific surface area, with silicon to achieve excellent electrochemical performance has increased considerably. There is no doubt that the introduction of MXene can improve the conductivity of silicon and the cycling stability of electrodes after elaborate structure design. However, most exhaustive contacts can only improve the electrode conductivity on the plane. Herein, a MXene@Si/CNTs (HIEN-MSC) composite with hierarchical interpenetrating electroconductive networks has been synthesized by electrostatic self-assembly. In this process, the CNTs are first combined with silicon nanoparticles and then assembled with MXene nanosheets. Inserting CNTs into silicon nanoparticles can not only reduce the latter‘s agglomeration, but also immobilizes them on the three-dimensional conductive framework composed of CNTs and MXene nanosheets. Therefore, the HIEN-MSC electrode shows superior rate performance (high reversible capacity of 280 mA h⁻¹ even tested at 10 A g⁻¹), cycling stability (stable reversible capacity of 547 mA h g⁻¹ after 200 cycles at 1 A g⁻¹) and applicability (a high reversible capacity of 101 mA h g⁻¹ after 50 cycles when assembled with NCM622 into a full cell). These results may provide new insights for other electrodes with excellent rate performance and long-cycle stability.
