TiO 2 hollow structure materials had become one of the hot spots because of their low density, high specific surface areas, and good photocatalytic activity. Till now, there were lots of works focused on them, such as their extensive application in catalysis, pharmacy, sensing device, photon transmission and the basis material of DSSC. Nevertheless, the drawbacks which are out control of nanoparticles phases on the surface, raw materials wasted and visible region absorption of its structure doesn't make it get better development in the field of photocatalysis research. In the present work, sulfonated-polystyrene latex particles with the diameter varying from 500~700 nm were prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization using KPS as the anionic initiator, which was used as the template to synthesize porous titania microspheres with tunable shell thickness and void volume with the calcination at 400°*** coating reaction was processed in the mixed solvent of ethanol and acetonitrile at room temperature by hydrolyzing TBOT in the presence of ammonia. The thickness of titania shells could be controlled by varying the concentration contents of titanium tetrabutoxide (TBOT) in the ethanol/acetonitrile mixed solvents with an appropriate volume ratio (3:1). The titania shell was composed of tiny nanoparticles with a size range from 10~15 nm. The XRD analysis indicated that the calcinations temperature promoted the phase transformation of amorphous titania to an anatase TiO 2 phase, and then to rutile TiO 2 phase. To investigate the absorption properties of the TiO 2 hollow spheres, the UV–visible spectra of the TiO 2 hollow spheres were also measured, it was found that the prepared hollow sphere showed a stronger absorption in the UV-visible region than that of the P25 with a slight peak-shift towards longer wavelength, which may lead to the enhanced photocatalytic activity of tinatia hollow spheres by 53% if compared with P25 powders. In summary, hierarchical and na

The effects of artificial xenon arc lamp ageing on E-glass/vinyl ester composite were investigated. The mechanical properties of the composite are investigated by static mechanical tests, the storage and loss moduli, Tg, the peak of tanδ by DMA, the peak location and peak intensity by FTIR for pure resin and the composite, and fracture development and the relationship between fracture density and fatigue stress level by SEM, respectively. It is found out that the most significant ageing factor is ultraviolet radiation, and that the introduction of glass fiber will accelerate the crosslink and degradation of resin.

One-dimensional nanomaterialshave attracted significant attention for a wide range of energy-related applications due to such unique advantages as short Li-ion insertion/extraction distance, facile strain relaxation upon electrochemical cycling, enhanced electron transport, and very large surface to volume ratio. We designed the single nanowire electrode devices as a unique platform for in situ probing the direct relationship between electrical transport, structure, and electrochemical properties of the single nanowire electrode to understand intrinsic reason of capacity fading. It demonstrates that during the electrochemical reaction conductivity of the nanowire electrode decreased, which limits the cycle life of the devices. Then, the prelithiation and Langmuir-Blodgett technique have been used to improve the cycling stability of nanowire electrode. Recently, we have synthesized SVO/PANI triaxial nanowires and fabricated hierarchical MnMoO 4 /CoMoO 4 heterostructured nanowires by combining "oriented attachment" and "self-assembly". The asymmetric supercapacitors based on the hierarchical heterostructured nanowires showed a high specific capacitance and good reversibility with a cycling efficiency of 98% after 1,000 cycles. Furthermore, we fabricated Li-air battery based on hierarchical mesoporous LSCO nanowires and nonaqueous electrolytes, which exhibits ultrahigh capacity over 11000 mAh g –1 , with the improvement of one order of magnitude than LSCO nanoparticles. We also designed and synthesized novel cucumber-like MnO 2 nanoparticles-enriched V 2 O 5 /PEDOT coaxial nanowires by layer-by-layer assembly with enhanced electrochemical performance. Recently we designed a nanoscroll buffered hybrid nanostructural VO 2 (B) composed of nanobelts and nanowires with greatly improved cycle life and rate capability. It is expected that our study may extend effective and helpful methods in directions that will solve the challenge of property degradation in energy storage an

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are receiving considerable attention as storage devices in the renewable and sustainable energy developments. However, facile fabrication of long-life and high-rate cathode materials for LIBs is required to facilitate practical application. Among the candidate materials for high power LIBs, sodium super ionic conductor (NASICON) structured polyanion-based orthophosphate Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 exhibits high energy and power density, and has been regarded as a prospective alternative cathode material in high power facilities such as electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and other power-supply equipment. Nevertheless, Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 still faces some challenges such as low electronic conductivity and capacity fading during cycling. Here we propose a rationally controllable synthesis of highly crystalline Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 nanospheres with a uniform carbon coating layer to restrain structure degradation during cycling. Additionally, acetylene black was used as the reducing agent and the template for particle growth, as well as a three-dimensional conductive and flexible network to provide a continuous electron pathway in the electrode. The uniform carbon layer and the conductive carbon network have a synergetic effect to enhance not only the cycling stability but also rate performance of Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 in the application for LIBs. The as-prepared cathode material has a discharge capacity of 142 mA h g -1 at 1 C rate, approaching its theoretical value (150 mA h g -1 ), and can even be cycled at a rate as high as 30 C without capacity fading. After 1000 cycles at a rate of 5 C, the as-prepared material has capacity retention of up to 83%, and can also tolerate 5000 cycles with a considerable capacity, demonstrating excellent cycling stability. Our work shows that this material has great potential for high-energy and high-power energy storage applications, and this rational method can be applied to synthesizing high-performance catho

Rechargeable lithium batteries have been widely used for consumer electronics and are desirable for the development of hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles, due to their high energy density and good environment compatibility. The enhanced electrochemical performance of electrodes depends on not only the material intrinsic characteristics, but also the designed morphologies. One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures can offer large surface area and efficient electron transport pathway to achieving high capacity. As a functional nanostructure, nanoscroll with open ends/edges could provide easy radial expansion by interlayer sliding to buffer the swelling during lithiation/delithiation. Herein, we report a nanoscroll buffered hybrid nanostructural VO 2 (B) (HNS) composed of nanobelts and nanowires with greatly improved cycle life and rate capability. It is found that this unique HNS with buffered section provides facile strain relaxation to accommodate the volume variations during lithiation/delithiation, which greatly enhance the structural stability and cyclability. Further, the interior of nanoscrolls and the interconnected voids between the hybrid nanostructures could shorten the lithium ion diffusion pathway for fast charge/discharge. As a result, the HNS cathode exhibits long-life performance with capacity retention over 82% after 1,000 cycles at C (1,000 mA g -1 ), and high rate up to ~20 C (2,000 mA g -1 ). This unique HNS can be applied to the next-generation high-performance batteries for portable electronics and large-scale energy storage devices. Constructing the nanoscroll buffered hybrid nanostructure described in this paper is a facile and effective method to enhance the electrochemical performance of other electrode materials.

The preparation and stabilization of metallic nanoparticles are of great importance in the field of nano-catalysis. The developments in supermolecular self-assembled porous materials enabled catalytic metal nanoparticles to be hosted inside the pores of such porous materials for enhancing the stability of these metallic nanoparticles, which is the drawback for bare metallic nanoparticles because of their deformation or aggregation. Herein, we report the design of a high-surface-area model catalytic system that consists of highly uniform PtPd bimetallic nanocrystals inside of mesocellular foam (PtPd@MCF) via one-step simple and easy impregnation route. The inorganic silica meso-channels play dual important roles in mass transfer of bimetallic nanoparticle synthesis and catalysis reation. This study represents a strategy in catalyst design that utilizes nanoscience to fabricate active catalyst sites, which are grown inside a support to produce a model heterogeneous catalyst. The results suggest that the high thermal stability of these composites are excellent nanocatalytic systems for high-temperature catalytic reations. The synthetic approach described here in facile and general for the design of practical catalysts and nanoreactors, which combined functionalities in all of the compositions. The design concept can also be extended to other metal/metal oxide compositions and porous materials for the design of various function composites.
