A versatile strategy for a facile approach to chemical graft MOFs onto polypyrrole nanotubes (PPyNTs@MOFs) is designed and fabricated rationally by means of 1,4-dibromobutane linkage. Various MOFs arranged randomly close-packed on PPyNTs, including Co, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Al, Ti, Cr, Zr and V, have been synthesized successfully. The as-prepared PPyNT@UIO-66 hybrids, used as a cathode carrier, exhibit excellent cyclic stability in Li-S batteries via strong physical and chemical adsorption/affinity with polysulfides.

Most of the developed flexible hydrogel supercapacitors struggle to maintain their electrochemical stability and structural integrity under tensile strain. Therefore, developing a flexible supercapacitor with excellent mechanical properties and stable electrochemical performance under different strains remains a challenge. Based on the previous cartilage-like structure, we designed a new coarse nanofiber bundle and ordered network.

GO/Co-MOF/PPy-350 (GPC-350) was synthesized by in situ growth of ultrafine Co-MOF on graphene oxide (GO), followed by encapsulation with polypyrrole (PPy) and calcination at 350.0℃. Meanwhile, MoS-MWCNTs (MoS-CNTs) were produced via the in situ synthesis of MoS within multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).

Exploiting inexpensive composite phase change materials (PCMs) with comprehensive characteristics of high encapsulation efficiency, good leakage resistance, strong flexibility, high heat conductivity, and powerful light absorption is considerably imperative for their solar-thermal and solar-thermal-electric conversion. Herein, polypyrrole (PPy) modified halloysite (HNT/PPy) was assembled into the pores of melamine formaldehyde (MF) sponge to construct hierarchical porous structure (MHP), in which PPy serves as light absorber and heat conducting agent to consolidate the light absorption and thermal conductivity, while the interwoven HNT in MF not only acts as carrier to provide sufficient space for guaranteeing more PCMs' encapsulation, but also dramatically narrows MF's pore size and prevents PCMs' leakage. As expected, the MHP can encapsulate as high as 95 wt% of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with extremely high latent heat of 177.

A platform was developed to accurately detect the content of ofloxacin (OFX) based on molecularly imprinted polypyrrole-MWCNTs-OH/1,3,5-Tris(4-aminophenyl) benzene (TAPB)-2,5-dimethoxybenzene-1,4-dicarboxaldehyde (DMTP)-covalent organic framework (MIP-MWCNTs-OH/COF)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) sensor (MIP-MWCNTs-OH/COF/GCE). The complex of MWCNTs-OH and COF synergistically enhanced the active area and electrochemical signal, based on which a molecularly imprinted membrane was polymerized on its surface to further improve the selectivity. Under optimized conditions, the prepared MIP-MWCNTs-OH/COF/GCE sensor exhibited strong detection performance to OFX in a linear range 1.
