Smart and robust electrospun fabrics of piezoelectric polymer nanocomposite for self-powering electronic textiles
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The present work designs a piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) based on the electrospun nanofibers of the piezoelectric polymer, polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP), by uniformly drawing the spun membranes ...
General strategy to synthesize uniform mesoporous TiO2/Graphene/Mesoporous TiO2 sandwich-like nanosheets for highly reversible lithium storage
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Uniform oxide deposition on graphene to form a sandwich-like configuration is a well-known challenge mainly due to their large lattice mismatches and poor affinities. Herein, we report a general strategy to synthesize ...
Silicon nanofilms as anode materials for flexible lithium ion batteries

Due to highly tunable metallic compositions and surface functional groups, MXenes have attracted significant interests for a wide range of applications, such as energy storage, electromagnetic interference shielding, ...
Freestanding eggshell membrane-based electrodes for high-performance supercapacitors and oxygen evolution reaction
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
A type of freestanding, light-weight eggshell membrane-based electrode is demonstrated for supercapacitors and for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis. As a widely available daily waste, eggshell membranes have unique ...
High strength, ductility, and electrical conductivity of in-situ consolidated nanocrystalline Cu-1%Nb
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Nanocrystalline metals—with grain sizes less than 100 nm— have strengths exceeding those of coarse-grained and even alloyed metals [1], [2]. A bulk nanocrystalline Cu-1%Nb alloy was synthesized by an in-situ consolidation ...
