Enhanced and Proficient Soft Template Array of Polyaniline-TiO Nanocomposites Fibers Prepared Using Anionic Surfactant for Fuel Cell Hydrogen Storage.

Porous TiO-doped polyaniline and polyaniline nanocomposite fibers prepared by the in situ polymerization technique using anionic surfactant in an ice bath were studied. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and XRD patterns for structural analysis. The surface morphology of the polyaniline and its nanocomposites was examined using SEM images.

Preparation of Anionic Surfactant-Based One-Dimensional Nanostructured Polyaniline Fibers for Hydrogen Storage Applications.

Polyaniline fibers were prepared in the presence of anionic surfactant in an ice medium to nucleate in one dimension and were compared to bulk polyaniline prepared at an optimum temperature. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate the structural analysis of the prepared samples. A conductivity study reveals that polyaniline fibers have high conductivity compared to bulk polyaniline.

Fabrication and Characterization of Flexible Solid Polymers Electrolytes for Supercapacitor Application.

In this work, solid flexible polymer blend electrolytes (PBE) composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) with different amounts of sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) salt mixed in double-distilled water (solvent) are prepared via solution casting method. The obtained films are characterized using several techniques. The study of the surface morphology of the polymer blend salt complex films via the POM technique reveals the presence of amorphous regions due to the NaSCN effect.

The Impact of Polymer Electrolyte Properties on Lithium-Ion Batteries.

In recent decades, the enhancement of the properties of electrolytes and electrodes resulted in the development of efficient electrochemical energy storage devices. We herein reported the impact of the different polymer electrolytes in terms of physicochemical, thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Since LIBs use many groups of electrolytes, such as liquid electrolytes, quasi-solid electrolytes, and solid electrolytes, the efficiency of the full device relies on the type of electrolyte used.

Bovine serum albumin functionalized blue emitting Ti C MXene quantum dots as a sensitive fluorescence probe for Fe ion detection and its toxicity analysis.

In the present work, an improved class of protein functionalized fluorescent 2D Ti C MXene quantum dots (MXene QDs) was prepared using a hydrothermal method. Exfoliated 2D Ti C sheets were used as the starting precursor and transport protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used to functionalize the MXene QDs. BSA-functionalized MXene QDs exhibited excellent photophysical property and stability at various physiological parameters.

Enhancement of the adsorptive performance of TiOnanoparticles towards methylene blue by adding suspended nanoparticles of Pt: kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamic studies.

Methylene blue (MB) is one of the most dangerous dyes found in numerous industries' wastewaters. Thus, the effect of suspended Pt nanoparticles (NPs) on the adsorption capability of TiONPs towards MB was investigated in this research. Factors affecting (adsorbate initial concentration, agitation time, solution pH, and temperature) the adsorption capacity of MB on the modified TiONPs were also studied.
