Article Synopsis
- * A new hybrid material called semi-interpenetrating dual-polymer network (DPN) organogels is introduced, using cross-linked poly(ionic liquid)s and poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) to enhance stability and mechanical performance.
- * The DPN organogels show impressive durability and flexibility, retaining 87.5% performance after 10,000 cycles, and can produce various colors, making them suitable for applications in energy-efficient buildings and wearable tech. *
Article Synopsis
- - The development of stretchable electrochromic (EC) devices, suitable for wearable tech and adaptive camouflage, faces challenges due to the need for transparent conductive electrodes that maintain stability during use and chemical reactions.
- - Researchers have created a conductive electrode using wrinkled, semi-embedded Ag@Au nanowire networks on elastomer substrates, enhancing the electrochemical stability of the device.
- - The resulting EC devices show improved color stability, shifting between yellow and green, and withstand up to 40% stretching and releasing cycles without significant damage, thanks to the protective Au layer and flexible structure.
Article Synopsis
- Porous carbon nanofibers (CACNFs) are created by carbonizing and activating cellulose acetate (CA) nanofibers in a single step, enhancing their thermal stability and surface properties through ZnCl coating.
- * The characteristics of CACNFs were significantly affected by the concentration of the dipping solution, which improved their morphology, crystal structure, and specific surface area.
- * CACNFs exhibited impressive electrochemical properties as supercapacitor electrodes, with high specific capacitance and excellent stability over many cycles, indicating their potential for energy storage applications.*
