Due to the degradation of lithium-metal anode, lithium dendritic growth and other challenging problems like interface resistance among electrolyte and electrode may damage the actual performance of lithium-metal batteries (LMB). Recently, ceramic nanofillers Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7P(O4)3 (LATP) and Li0.33La0.557TiO3 (LLTO) seem to be suitable solid-state electrolytes for lithium metallic solid-state batteries with outstanding energy densities and highly safer energy storage devices. Herein, the solid-state electrolytic materials are composed of a fast ion-conducting solid-state LATP, LLTO, and optimized amount of adequate polarized poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) electrolyte with lithium salt (LiClO4) to fabricate the dual semi-solid-state polymer electrolyte (DSPE) membrane. The prepared membrane provides a promising solution for battery safety and the most challenging problems of interface resistance. The proposed DSPE membrane is investigated via analytical techniques; testing results showed that the DSPE membrane possesses excellent electrochemical performance, including suitable Li-transference numbers and improved ionic conductivities with enhanced stability. Furthermore, the DSPE membrane is beneficial to resist the growth of Li dendrites effectively. The symmetrical cell Li//DSPE//Li exhibits excellent stability at a high current density of 1 mA/cm2 over 1000 h, and the membrane sustains long-cycle performance with a high retention of 95% after 100 cycles. The designed DSPE membrane opens a path of fabricating a safe electrolyte membrane for elevated temperature metal-ion battery applications.

Cost-effective, clean, highly transparent, and flexible as well as a coatable packaging material is envisioned to solve or at least mitigate quality preservation issues of organic materials, originating from moisture interaction under ambient conditions. Liquid phase processing of packaging coatings using nano-clay and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) has been developed and reported. Detailed analysis of the developed coating revealed moisture permeability of 2.8 × 10−2 g·cm/m2·day at 40 °C and 85% relative humidity (RH), which is in close accordance with Bharadwaj’s theoretical permeability model. Moreover, the developed coatings are not only more than 90% transparent, when exposed to white light, but also exhibit excellent flexibility and even after going through 10,000 bending cycles maintained the same blocking effect against moisture.

It's crucial to fabricate commercial-level electrodes with high mass loading of active materials for supercapacitors to address the growing need for commercial-level flexible energy storage devices. In this work, we reported the direct growth of ZnCo2O4 nanonest-like structure composed of nanowires with high mass loading (5 mg cm−2) on the substrate of carbon cloth (CC, hereafter denoted as [email protected]) via a simple hydrothermal method. The [email protected] electrode was characterized by a variety of techniques including SEM/TEM, XRD/XPS, and BET/BJH. The [email protected] electrode possesses a holey characteristic with various electroactive sites for the utilization of electrolyte and delivered high specific capacitance of 1467 (1320 Cg-1) Fg−1 at 1.2 Ag-1 with outstanding cycling retention of 95% at 12 Ag-1 and high Coulombic efficiency after 10,000 cycles. In addition, we employed power's law to explore the charge storage kinetics of [email protected] electrode to investigate the capacitive and diffusion-controlled charge storage quantification. The [email protected] electrode displayed high capacitive storage properties (42% capacitive at 15 mVs−1). Thus, the admirable electrochemical performance of the ZnCo2O4 electrode highlights the potential application in supercapacitors for future endowers.

(1 − x)(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3–xBi(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O3 ceramics with x = 0.00 mol.% (0BMN), 0.01 mol.% (1BMN), 0.03 mol.% (3BMN), and 0.05 mol.% (5BMN) were synthesized using a solid-state processing technique. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of uncalcined samples up to 730 °C showed that the maximum weight loss was observed for 3BMN, whereas the minimum weight loss was attributed to the 0BMN sample. After that, calcination was performed at 800 °C for 4 h. The XRD of calcined samples showed the successful formation of the perovskite phase with no impurity phases. 1BMN and 3BMN samples showed some of the lattice strain; however, a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) existed around x = 0.03 between the rhombohedral and tetragonal structure. The TGA of the green pellets showed weight loss up to the sintering temperature (1100 °C) and during the 3 h holding period. 5BMN showed the maximum weight loss up to sintering temperature, as well as during the holding period, whereas 0BMN displayed the minimum weight loss up to sintering temperature, as well as some weight gain during the holding period. The relative permittivity (εr) was maximum at low frequencies, but the addition of BMN improved the εr. The frequency dependence of dielectric loss (tanδ) showed that the maximum loss was observed for 3BMN at lower frequencies, and 5BMN showed the maximum loss at higher frequency among all samples.

Plastic bottles are generally recycled by remolding them into numerous products. In this study, waste from plastic bottles was used to fabricate recycled polyethylene terephthalate (r-PET) nanofibers via the electrospinning technique, and high-performance conductive polyethylene terephthalate nanofibers (r-PET nanofibers) were prepared followed by copper deposition using the electroless deposition (ELD) method. Firstly, the electrospun r-PET nanofibers were chemically modified with silane molecules and polymerized with 2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl trimethylammonium chloride (METAC) solution. Finally, the copper deposition was achieved on the surface of chemically modified r-PET nanofibers by simple chemical/ion attraction. The water contact angle of r-PET nanofibers, chemically modified r-PET nanofibers, and copper deposited nanofibers were 140°, 80°, and 138°, respectively. The r-PET nanofibers retained their fibrous morphology after copper deposition, and EDX results confirmed the presence of copper on the surface of r-PET nanofibers. XPS was performed to analyze chemical changes before and after copper deposition on r-PET nanofibers. The successful deposition of copper one r-PET nanofibers showed an excellent electrical resistance of 0.1 ohms/cm and good mechanical strength according to ASTM D-638.

Hybrid composites have great potential for specific strength and specific stiffness, effective in aerospace industries, submarines, and light-weight automotives. The mechanical strength and adhesiveness of hybrid laminates can be enhanced by effective use of matrix materials in different ratios of epoxy resin and epoxy hardener. Gentle use of resin and hardener in the fabrication of hybrid composites can alter tensile modulus, the bonding strength between matrix and fabric. Spectacular progress has been achieved by the selection of appropriate amounts of resin and hardener in the hybridization of composite laminate. Hybridization was made by Kevlar inorganic/organic fabrics and glass fabrics stacked with epoxy matrix material. To achieve the combination of mechanical properties and bonding strength, transparent epoxy resin and hardener of commercial grades mixed in various ratios are incorporated as matrix material to fabricate laminate. Three different sheets, named A (3:2), B (4:1), and C (2:3), were embedded by the hand layup method to prepare a hybrid composite. Experimental tests, according to ASTM 3039, were performed to determine the tensile mechanical properties. Peel tests, according to ASTM 6862-11, were performed to investigate the interlaminar strength between Kevlar and glass layers. Shore A and Shore C hardness durometers were used to find out the hardness of the specimens at different spots using the ASTM D-2240 standard. Finally, physical testing, such as density and then water absorption, was carried out using the ASTM D-570 standard to check the swelling ratio of the different specimens. The results obtained highlight that the specimen of the glass/Kevlar hybrid embedded in the ratio 3:2 in lamination has the best mechanical properties (tensile strength and hardness) and the lowest swelling ratio, while the material system in the ratio 4:1 shows the best interlaminar properties and adhesion capabilities.
