We report a large positive magneto-resistance (MR) in bubble decorated graphene oxide films that are derived from shellac biopolymer as a carbon source. These films were produced on a quartz substrate by heating the biopolymer coated substrate at 900 °C in an argon atmosphere. The characterization data of the films using Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy reveal that shellac can be used as a new carbon source to produce transparent bubble decorated graphene oxide films. The magneto-resistance results show a 130% change in the resistance of the films at 3 K under a perpendicular magnetic field of 15 T, and the value decreases exponentially up to 50 K. The observed MR properties of the bubble decorated graphene oxide films are explained using a weak anti-localization and quantum interference model in the low magnetic field region, while the Lorentz force accounts for the MR properties well in the high magnetic field region.

In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) interconnected porous Ni/SiC skeleton (3D Ni/SiC) was synthesized by binder-free hydrogen bubble template-assisted electrodeposition in an electrolyte containing Ni ions and SiC nanopowders. This 3D Ni/SiC skeleton served as a substrate for directly synthesizing nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets via electrodeposition, allowing the formation of a nickel-cobalt LDH nanosheet-decorated 3D Ni/SiC skeleton (NiCo@3D Ni/SiC). The multiscale hierarchical structure of NiCo@3D Ni/SiC was attributed to the synergistic interaction between the pseudocapacitor (3D Ni skeleton and Ni-Co LDH) and electrochemical double-layer capacitor (SiC nanopowders).

Fly ash (FA) is the main solid waste emitted from coal-fired power plants. Due to its high yield, low utilization rate, and occupation of a large amount of land, it exerts enormous pressure on the Earth's environment. With the deepening of the concept of sustainable development, exploring the reuse of industrial waste such as FA has become a key strategy.

One-dimensional micro-supercapacitors (1D micro-SCs) have been regarded as an efficient energy storage system to fulfill the ever-growing need for miniaturized electronics. Designing multi-dimensional nanoarchitectures on fibrous microelectrodes is an effective strategy to build a high-performance 1D micro-SC. In this work, Ni,S-doped Cu was firstly prepared on Cu wire as a micro-sized 1D current collector through Cu electrodeposition using a H bubble template and then co-doped with nickel and sulfur.

The developed strategies for synthesizing metal phosphides are usually cumbersome and pollute the environment. In this work, an ultrafast (30 s) quasi-solid-state microwave approach is developed to construct cobalt-molybdenum phosphide decorated with Ru (Ru/CoP-MoP) featured porous morphology with interconnected channels. The specific nanostructure favors mass transport, such as electrolyte bubbles transfer and exposing rich active sites.

In practical applications, polyurethane (PU) foam must be rigid to meet the demands of various industries and provide comfort and protection in everyday life. PU foam components are extensively used in structural foam, thermal insulation, decorative panels, packaging, imitation wood, and floral foam, as well as in models and prototypes. Conventional technology for producing PU foam parts often leads to defects such as deformation, short shots, entrapped air, warpage, flash, micro-bubbles, weld lines, and voids.
