- Advanced materials for energy storage and gas sensing are being developed, with a focus on PANI@MnO@rGO ternary nanocomposites synthesized through a multi-step process.
- * The nanocomposites showed impressive results as gas sensors, particularly for NH gas, with a peak response of 15.56 at a temperature of 100°C and quick response times.
- * For supercapacitor applications, the materials demonstrated pseudocapacitive behavior with a capacitance of 185 F/g and great stability over 4000 cycles, highlighting their potential in these technologies.
Four novel terephthaloyl thiourea chitosan (TTU-chitosan) hydrogels were synthesized via a cross-linking reaction of chitosan with different concentrations of terephthaloyl diisothiocyanate. Their structures were investigated by elemental analyses, FTIR, SEM and X-ray diffraction. The antimicrobial activities of the hydrogels against three species of bacteria (Bacillis subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and three crop-threatening pathogenic fungi (Aspergillus fumigatus, Geotrichum candidum and Candida albicans) are much higher than that of the parent chitosan.
