Composite asphalt binder has emerged as a potential solution for improving asphalt functionality at a wide spectrum of temperatures. Storage stability of modified binder remains a main concern to ensure homogeneity during various stages including its storage, pumping, transportation, and construction. The aim of this study was to assess the storage stability of composite asphalt binders fabricated using non-tire waste ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer (EPDM) rubber and waste plastic pyrolytic oil (PPO). The influence of addition of a crosslinking additive (sulfur) was also investigated. Two different approaches were employed in the fabrication of composite rubberized binders: (1) sequential introduction of PPO and rubber granules, and (2) inclusion of rubber granules pre-swelled with PPO at 90°C to the conventional binder. Based on the modified binder fabrication approaches and the addition of sulfur, four categories of modified binders were prepared, namely sequential (SA), sequential with sulfur (SA-S), pre-swelled (PA), and pre-swelled with sulfur (PA-S). For variable modifier dosages (EPDM:16%, PPO: 2, 4, 6, and 8%, and sulfur: 0.3%), a total of 17 combinations of rubberized asphalt were subjected to two durations of thermal storage (48 and 96 hours) and then characterized for their storage stability performance through various separation indices (SIs) based on conventional, chemical, microstructural, and rheological analyses. The optimal storage stability performance was achieved at a PPO dosage of 6% under the four candidate approaches. It was also observed that the SIs based on chemical analysis and rubber extraction test had a good correlation with rheology-based SIs compared to the conventionally used softening point difference. A composite modified binder with PPO and EPDM rubber having adequate storage stability is a promising step in the use of sustainable composite-modified binders in asphalt pavement construction.

In the post-lithium-ion battery era, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have been considered as a promising candidate because of their electrochemical and economic characteristics. However, as an emerging electrochemical storage technology, it is urgent to develop capable anode materials that can be produced at low cost and on a large scale to promote its practical application. Biomass-derived carbon materials as anodes of PIBs exhibit strong competitiveness by their merits of low weight, high stability, non-toxicity, and wide availability.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising candidates for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) owing to their safety features and compatibility with lithium metal anodes. However, the inferior ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability of SPEs hinder their application in high-voltage solid-state LMBs (HVSSLMBs). Here, a strategy is proposed to develop a dual-anion-rich solvation structure by implementing ferroelectric barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles (NPs) and dual lithium salts into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based SPEs for HVSSLMBs.

High-performance and cost-effective hole-collecting materials (HCMs) are indispensable for commercially viable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, we report an anchorable HCM composed of a triazatruxene core connected with three alkyl carboxylic acid groups (). In contrast to the phosphonic acid-containing tripodal analog (), molecules can form a hydrophilic monolayer on a transparent conducting oxide surface, which is beneficial for subsequent perovskite film deposition in the traditional layer-by-layer fabrication process.

Bicontinuous particle-stabilized emulsions (bijels) are unique soft materials that combine the bulk properties of two immiscible fluids into a single interconnected structure. This structure is achieved through the formation of two interwoven fluid networks, stabilized by an interfacial layer of colloidal particles. Bijels with submicron-scale domain networks can be synthesized solvent transfer-induced phase separation (STrIPS).
