文摘Epoxy-based nano-composites can be ideal electromagnetic interference(EMI)-shielding materials owing to their lightness,chemical inertness,and mechanical durability.However,poor conductivity and brittleness of the epoxy resin are challenges for fast-growing portable and flexible EMI-shielding applications,such as smart wristband,medical cloth,aerospace,and military equipment.In this study,we explored hybrid nanofillers of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNT)/reduced graphene oxide(rGO)as conductive inks and polyester fabrics(PFs)as a substrate for flexible EMI-shielding composites.The highest electrical conductivity and fracture toughness of the SWCNT/rGO/PF/epoxy composites were 30.2 S m^(−1)and 38.5 MPa m^(1/2),which are~270 and 65%enhancement over those of the composites without SWCNTs,respectively.Excellent mechanical durability was demonstrated by stable electrical conductivity retention during 1000 cycles of bending test.An EMI-shielding effectiveness of~41 dB in the X-band frequency of 8.2-12.4 GHz with a thickness of 0.6 mm was obtained with an EM absorption-dominant behavior over a 0.7 absorption coefficient.These results are attributed to the hierarchical architecture of the macroscale PF skeleton and nanoscale SWCNT/rGO networks,leading to superior EMI-shielding performance.We believe that this approach provides highly flexible and robust EMI-shielding composites for next-generation wearable electronic devices.

文摘All-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs) employing sulfide electrolyte and lithium(Li) anode have received increasing attention due to the intrinsic safety and high energy density.However,the thick electrolyte layer and lithium dendrites formed at the electrolyte/Li anode interface hinder the realization of high-performance ASSLBs.Herein,a novel membrane consisting of Li_(6)PS_(5) Cl(LPSCl),poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) and Li-salt(LiTFSI) was prepared as sulfide-based composite solid electrolyte(LPSCl-PEO3-LiTFSI)(LPSCl:PEO=97:3 wt/wt;EO:Li=8:1 mol/mol),which delivers high ionic conductivity(1.1 × 10^(-3) S cm^(-1)) and wide electrochemical window(4.9 V vs.Li^(+)/Li) at 25 ℃.In addition,an ex-situ artificial solid electrolyte interphase(SEI) film enriched with LiF and Li3 N was designed as a protective layer on Li anode(Li(SEI)) to suppress the growth of lithium dendrites.Benefiting from the synergy of sulfide-based composite solid electrolyte and ex-situ artificial SEI,cells of S-CNTs/LPSCI-PEO3-LiTFSI/Li(SEI) and Al_(2)O_(3)@LiNi_(0.5)Co_(0.3)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)/LPSCl-PEO3-LiTFSI/Li(SEI) are assembled and both exhibit high initial discharge capacity of 1221.1 mAh g^(-1)(135.8 mAh g^(-1)) and enhanced cycling stability with 81.6% capacity retention over 200 cycles at 0.05 C(89.2% over 100 cycles at 0.1 C).This work provides a new insight into the synergy of composite solid electrolyte and artificial SEI for achieving high-performance ASSLBs.

文摘As the miniaturization of electronic devices and complication of electronic packaging,there are growing demands for thermal interfacial materials with enhanced thermal conductivity and the capability to direct the heat toward heat sink for highly efficient heat dissipation.Pitch-based carbon fiber(CF)with ultrahigh axial thermal conductivity and aspect ratios exhibits great potential for developing thermally conductive composites as TIMs.However,it is still hard to fabricate composites with aligned carbon fiber in a general approach to fully utilize its excellent axial thermal conductivity in specific direction.Here,three types of CF scaffolds with different oriented structure were developed via magnetic field-assisted Tetris-style stacking and carbonization process.By regulating the magnetic field direction and initial stacking density,the self-supporting CF scaffolds with horizontally aligned(HCS),diagonally aligned and vertically aligned(VCS)fibers were constructed.After embedding the polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS),the three composites exhibited unique heat transfer properties,and the HCS/PDMS and VCS/PDMS composites presented a high thermal conductivity of 42.18 and 45.01 W m^(−1)K^(−1)in fiber alignment direction,respectively,which were about 209 and 224 times higher than that of PDMS.The excellent thermal conductivity is mainly ascribed that the oriented CF scaffolds construct effective phonon transport pathway in the matrix.In addition,fishbone-shaped CF scaffold was also produced by multiple stacking and carbonization process,and the prepared composites exhibited a controlled heat transfer path,which can allow more versatility in the design of thermal management system.

文摘To simultaneously endow thermal conductivity,high glass transition temperature(Tg)and healing capability to glass fiber/epoxy(GFREP)composite,dynamic crosslinked epoxy resin bearing reversibleβ-hydroxyl ester bonds was reinforced with boron nitride nanosheets modified glass fiber cloth(GFC@BNNSs).The in-plane heat conduction paths were constructed by electrostatic self-assembly of polyacrylic acid treated GFC and polyethyleneimine decorated BNNSs.Then,the GFC@BNNSs were impregnated with the mixture of lower concentration(3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane grafted BN micron sheets,3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl 3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate and hexahydro-4-methylphthalic anhydride,which accounted for establishing the through-plane heat transport pathways and avoiding serious deterioration of mechanical performances.The resultant GFREP composite containing less boron nitride particles(17.6 wt%)exhibited superior in-plane(3.29 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1))and through-plane(1.16 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1))thermal conductivities,as well as high Tg of 204℃(Tg of the unfilled epoxy=177℃).The reversible transesterification reaction enabled closure of interlaminar cracks within the composite,achieving decent healing efficiencies estimated by means of tensile strength(71.2%),electrical breakdown strength(83.6%)and thermal conductivity(69.1%).The present work overcame the disadvantages of conventional thermally conductive composites,and provided an efficient approach to prolong the life span of thermally conductive GFREP laminate for high-temperature resistant integrated circuit application.

文摘Glass fibers(GFs)/epoxy laminated composites always present weak interlaminar shear strength(ILSS)and low cross-plane thermal conductivity coefficient(λ⊥).In this work,silica-sol,synthesized from tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS)and KH-560 via sol-gel method,was employed to functionalize the surface of GFs(Si-GFs).Together with a spherical boron nitride(BNN-30),the thermally conductive BNN-30/Si-GFs/epoxy laminated composites were then fabricated.Results demonstrate that Si-sol is beneficial to the improvement of mechanical properties for epoxy laminated composites(especially for ILSS).The BNN-30/Si-GFs/epoxy laminated composites with 15 wt%BNN-30 fillers display the optimal comprehensive properties.In-planeλ(λ//)andλ⊥reach the maximum of 2.37 and 1.07 W.m-1.K-1,146.9%and 132.6%higher than those of SiGFs/epoxy laminated composites(λ//=0.96 W.m-1.K-1 andλ⊥=0.46 W.m-1K-1),respectively,and also about 10.8 and 4.9 times those of pure epoxy resin(λ//=λ⊥,0.22 W.m-1.K-1).And the heat-resistance index(THRI),dielectric constant(ε),dielectric loss(tanδ),breakdown strength(E0),surface resistivity(ρs)as well as volume resistivity(ρv)are 197.3℃,4.95,0.0046,22.3 kV.mm-1,1.8×1014Ω,and 2.1×1014Ω.cm,respectively.

文摘High-frequency electromagnetic waves and electronic products can bring great convenience to people’s life,but lead to a series of electromagnetic interference(EMI)problems,such as great potential dangers to the normal operation of elec-tronic components and human safety.Therefore,the research of EMI shield-ing materials has attracted extensive attention by the scholars.Among them,polymer-based EMI shielding materials with light weight,high specific strength,and stable properties have become the current mainstream.The construction of 3D conductive networks has proved to be an effective method for the prepara-tion of polymer-based EMI shielding materials with excellent shielding effective-ness(SE).In this paper,the shielding mechanism of polymer-based EMI shield-ing materials with 3D conductive networks is briefly introduced,with emphasis on the preparation methods and latest research progress of polymer-based EMI shielding materials with different 3D conductive networks.The key scientific and technical problems to be solved in the field of polymer-based EMI shielding materials are also put forward.Finally,the development trend and application prospects of polymer-based EMI shielding materials are prospected.

文摘Wearable strain sensors based on flexible conductive polymer composites(FCPCs)have attracted great attention due to their applications in the fields of human–machine interaction,disease diagnostics,human motion detection,and soft robotic skin.In recent decades,FCPC‐based strain sensors with high stretchability and sensitivity,short response time,and excellent stability have been developed,which are expected to be more versatile and intelligent.Smart strain sensors are required to provide wearable comfort,such as breathability,selfcooling ability,and so forth.To adapt to the harsh environment,wearable strain sensors should also be highly adaptive to protect the skin and the sensor itself.In addition,portable power supply system,multisite sensing capability,and multifunctionality are crucial for the next generation of FCPC‐based strain sensor.

文摘All-solution-processed organic solar cells(OSCs)(from the bottom electrode to the top electrode)are highly attractive thanks to their low cost,lightweight and high-throughput production.However,achieving highly efficient all-solution-processed OSCs remains a significant challenge.One of the key issues is the lack of high-quality solution-processed electrode systems that can replace indium tin oxide(ITO)and vacuum-deposited metal electrodes.In this paper,we comprehensively review recent advances in all-solution-processed osCs,and classified the devices as the top electrode materials,including silver nanowires(AgNWs),conducting polymers and composite conducting materials.The correlation between electrode materials,properties of electrodes,and device performance in all-solution-processed OSCs is elucidated.In addition,the critical roles of the active layer and interface layer are also discussed.Finally,the prospects and challenges of all-solution-processed OSCs are presented.

文摘The miniaturization and high integration of devices demand significant thermal management materials.Current technologies for the thermal management of electronics show some limitations in the case of multiple chip arrays.A device in multiple chip array is affected by heat from adjacent devices,along with thermal conductive composite.To address this problem,we present a nano composite of aligned boron nitride(BN)nanosheet islands with porous polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)foam to have mechanical stability and non-thermal interference.The islands of tetrahedrally-structured BN in the composite have a high thermal conductivity of 1.219 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1) in the through-plane direction(11.234W·m^(-1)·K^(-1)in the in-plane direction)with 16 wt.%loading of BN.On the other hand,porous PDMS foam has a low thermal conductivity of 0.0328W·m^(-1)·K^(-1) in the through-plane direction at 70%porosity.Heat pathways are then formed only in the structured BN islands of the composite.The porous PDMS foam can be applied as a thermal barrier between structured BN islands to inhibit thermal interference in multiple device arrays.Furthermore,this composite can maintain selective thermal dissipation performance with 70%tensile strain.Another beauty of the work is that it could have guided heat dissipation by assembling of multiple layers which have high vertical thermal conductive islands,while inhibiting thermal interference.The selective heat dissipating composite can be applied as a heatsink for multiple chip arrays electronics.

文摘The influence of the nanostructure of the conductive network composite(CNC)on the performance of ionic electroactive polymer(IEAP)actuators has been examined in detail.We have studied IEAP actuators consisting of CNCs with different volume densities of gold nanoparticles(AuNPs)and the polymer network.Varying the concentration of AuNPs in CNC thin films was used as a means to control the CNC-ion interfacial area and the electrical resistance of the CNC,with minimum effect on the mechanical properties of the actuator.Increasing the interfacial area and reducing the resistance,while maintaining porosity of the composite,provide means for generating motion of more ions into the CNC at a significantly shorter time,which results in generation of strain at a faster rate.We have demonstrated that cationic strain in actuators with denser CNCs is improved by more than 460%.Denser CNC structures have larger interfacial areas,which results in attraction/repulsion of more ions in a shorter time,thus generation of a larger mechanical strain at a faster rate.Also,time-dependent response to a square-wave voltage was improved by increasing the AuNP concentration in the CNC.Under 0.1 Hz frequency,the cationic strain was increased by 64%when the AuNP concentration was increased from 4 to 20 ppm.

文摘Developing an effective method for improving the reproducibility of positive temperature coefficient(PTC)effect is of great significance for large-scale application of polymer based PTC composites,owing to its contribution to the security and reliability.Herein,we developed a carbon black(CB)/high density polyethylene(HDPE)/poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)composite with outstanding PTC reproducibility,by incorporating 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide([OMIm][NTf2])into the composite.After multiple repeated temperature cycles,the PTC performance of as-prepared material keeps almost unchanged and the varition of resistance at room temperature is less than 7%.Our studies revealed that[OMIm][NTf2]contributes to the improvement of PTC reproducibility in two ways:(i)it acts as an efficient plasticizer for refining the co-continuous phase morphology of HDPE/PVDE blends;(ii)it inhibits the crystallization of PVDF through the dilution effect,leading to more overlaps of the volume shrinkage process of HDPE and PVDF melt which results in the decrease of interface gap between HDPE and PVDF.This study demonstrated that ionic liquids as the multifunctional agents have great potential for improving the reproducibility in the application of the binary polymer based PTC composites.

文摘Development of biomaterial based flexible electronics has got intensive attention owing to the potential applications in the wearable and epidermal devices.Silk fibroin,as a natural textile material with excellent performance,has been widely concerned by industry and academy.However,the property of electrical insulation limits his development in the field of flexible electronics.In this paper,a regenerated silk fibroin/carbon nanotube(RSF/CNT)conductive film has been successfully fabricated and applied in flexible capacitive-type pressure sensor and wearable triboelectric nanogenerator by a facile method.The electrical conductivity and mechanical property of RSF/CNT film was optimized by investigating with different composite ratio from 10 to 90%(W_(RSF)/W_(CNT)).The RSF/CNT film has a good photothermal response and electric heating performance.We furtherly demonstrated that the RSF/CNT based sensor can be used as epidermal self-powered sensor for multifunction human motion monitoring and Morse code compilation.The observed research results have shown that the RSF/CNT film has a wide range of potential application prospects in the wearable electronics field.
