The carboxylic group content of PMA-100 and the rate of complexation reaction were measured. Effects of the mass ratio of PMA-100 to Mn（II） （n）, pH, background electrolyte, etc on the rejection rate （R） and permeate flux （J） were investigated. The results show that carboxylic group content of PMA-100 is 9.5 mmol/g. The complexation of Mn（II） with PMA-100 is rapid and completed within 5 min at pH 6.0. Both R and J increase with pH increasing in the range of 2.5-7.0, and R increases with the increase of n at pH 6.0 while J is little affected. The background electrolyte leads to the decrease of R, and CaCl2 has much greater effect on R than NaCl at the same ionic strength.展开更多

Here,one-dimensional（1D） MnO N-doped carbon nanofibers（MnO-NCNFs） were successfully developed by electrospinning combined with high temperature pyrolysis. The MnO-NCNFs exhibit promising electrochemical performance,methanol tolerance,and durability in alkaline medium. The outstanding electrocatalytic activity is mainly attributed to several issues.First of all,the uniform 1D fiber structure and the conductive network could facilitate the electron transport. Besides,the introduction of Mn into the precursor can catalyze the transformation of amorphous carbon to graphite carbon,while the improved graphitization means better conductivity,beneficial for the enhancement of catalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction（ORR）. Furthermore,the porous structure and high surface area can effectively decrease the mass transport resistance and increase the exposed ORR active sites,thus improve utilization efficiency and raise the quantity of exposed ORR active sites. The synergistic effect of MnO and NCNFs matrix,which enhances charge transfer,adsorbent transport,and delivers efficiency in the electrolyte solution,ensures the high ORR performance of MnO-NCNFs.展开更多

Here in this paper, a two-step electrochemical deposition method has been developed to coat Ni fibers with reduced graphene oxide and MnO2 subsequently, giving rise to Ni@reduced-graphene-oxide@MnO2 sheath-core flexible electrode with a high areal specific capacitance of 119.4 mF cm^-2 at a current density of 0.5 mA cm^-2 in 1 mol L^-1 Na2SO4 electrolyte. Using polyvinyl alcohol（PVA）-LiCl as a solid state electrolyte, two Ni@reduced-grapheneoxide@Mn02 flexible electrodes were assembled into a freestanding, lightweight, symmetrical fiber-shaped micro-supercapacitor device with a maximum areal capacitance of26.9 mF cm^-2. A high power density of 0.1 W cm^-3 could be obtained when the energy density was as high as0.27 mW h cm^-3. Moreover, the resulting micro-supercapacitor device also demonstrated good flexibility and high cyclic stability. The present work provides a simple, facile and low-cost method for the fabrication of flexible, lightweight and wearable energy conversion/storage micro-devices with a high-performance.展开更多
