In this paper, the effect of the electric field on the properties of a new chitosan-molybdenum (Chit-Mo) composite coating obtained by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was investigated. The composite coatings obtained showed different morphologies depending on the conditions used during the deposition process. Chemical composition results and microstructure analysis showed homogeneous distribution of molybdenum in a chitosan matrix. Corrosion test results showed that the Chit-Mo composite coatings can increase corrosion resistance of 1020 steel in NaCl medium (3.5 %). The coatings obtained at 5 V, pH 5.5, and using a low concentration of reagents (suspension 1: chitosan 0.5 g/L and 1 mM sodium molybdate) reached an inhibition efficiency of up to 76.7 %. Therefore, the results obtained in this work prove the achievement of a new class of chitosan-based composite materials with potential application in the protection of metal structures against corrosion.

Advancements in printing techniques are essential for fabricating next-generation displays. Lead halide perovskites demonstrate great potential as light emitters of solution-processed light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In particular, the perovskite/polymer composite emitters exhibit exceptional luminescent characteristics, mechanical flexibility, and environmental stability due to the improved film morphologies and defect passivation achieved through the introduction of polymer additives.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are promising energy storage devices due to their high theoretical energy density and cost-effectiveness. However, the shuttle effect of polysulfides during the charging and discharging processes leads to a rapid decline in capacity, thereby restricting their application in energy storage. The separator, a crucial component of Li-S batteries, facilitates the transport of Li+ ions.

Maize seedlings in cold regions and high latitude often face abiotic stress. As a result, weak seedlings affect maize production, The commonly used seed coating agents in production are mainly to prevent biological stress of pests and diseases, and have little effect on seedling vigor and abiotic resistance. In this experiment, the combination of graphene oxide (GO) and seed coating agent can effectively prevent pests and diseases and increase the growth of seedlings.

Radiative cooling is an excellent strategy for mitigating global warming, by enhancing heat fluxes away from the Earth, thus balancing the Earth's heat flow. However, for randomly particle-dispersed radiative cooling materials, the particle content as high as 94-96 wt % or 60 vol %, far exceeds the critical pigment percentage (40-50%) of traditional coatings, preventing its large-scale application. Here, inspired by particle deposition under gravity in solution, we demonstrate an auto-deposited SiO composite radiative cooling coating (ADRC) which reduces the amounts of particles required and lowers costs.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have emerged as promising, sustainable materials, with applications in sensors, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and composites. Their modification with block copolymers such as PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymers of the Pluronic family has been attempted many times in the literature, with claims that such modification would happen by an anchor(PEO)-buoy(PPO)-anchor(PEO) mechanism. However, there is much disagreement in the literature on this.
