A novel strategy for the one-pot fabrication of free-standing polypyrrole films is presented in this work. The films are spontaneously formed at an air/ionic liquid interface through interface oxypolymerization. The thicknesses of the films are finely controlled from tens to hundreds of nanometers, and the films are uniform and compact. Asymmetrical films with different smoothness on the two sides of the film are also obtained and exhibit different water wettability. This method is extremely simple and does not need any equipment. It may bring about a general methodology for forming free-standing conducting polymer films.

This study presents the fabrication of a UiO-66-NH composite membrane on a porous carbon cloth-polypyrrole substrate (CC-PPy@UiO-66-NH) that demonstrates strongly coupled and highly ordered features to enhance CO capture efficiency. This free-standing configuration exhibits a higher adsorption kinetics with a slope of 0.48 mg g min for CO and superior adsorption selectivity, demonstrating that the adsorption kinetics rate of the CC-PPy@UiO-66-NH composite membrane for CO is approximately twice that of bulk UiO-66-NH (0.

In this study, an omnidirectional and high-performance free-standing monopole patch radio-frequency antenna was fabricated using a urea-functionalized phosphorene/TiO/polypyrrole (UTP) nanocomposite. The UTP nanocomposite antenna was fabricated via ball milling of urea-functionalized phosphorene, chemical oxidative polymerization of the UTP nanocomposite, and mechanical pelletizing of the composite. Based on experiments, the proposed UTP nanocomposite-based antenna exhibited long-term stability in terms of electrical conductivity.

Flexible supercapacitors (FSCs) have attracted much attention due to their strong mechanical flexibility, wearability and portability, which greatly rely on the employed flexible electrodes. The conductive polymer hydrogels with excellent flexibility, processability and capacitive performance are one of the most promising candidates, which are still limited by their poor mechanical properties. Constructing robust interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) is an effective approach to promote their mechanical properties.

A wide array of carbon materials finds extensive utility across various industrial applications today. Nonetheless, the production processes for these materials continue to entail elevated temperatures, necessitate the use of inert atmospheres, and often involve the handling of aggressive and toxic chemicals. The prevalent method for large-scale carbon material production, namely the pyrolysis of waste biomass and polymers, typically unfolds within the temperature range of 500-700 °C under a nitrogen (N) atmosphere.

Maneuver of conducting polymers (CPs) into lightweight hydrogels can improve their functional performances in energy devices, chemical sensing, pollutant removal, drug delivery, etc. Current approaches for the manipulation of CP hydrogels are limited, and they are mostly accompanied by harsh conditions, tedious processing, compositing with other constituents, or using unusual chemicals. Herein, a two-step route is introduced for the controllable fabrication of CP hydrogels in ambient conditions, where gelation of the shape-anisotropic nano-oxidants followed by in-situ oxidative polymerization leads to the formation of polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole hydrogels.
