Organic carbonyl electrode materials of lithium batteries have shown multifunctional molecule design and high capacity, but have the problems of poor cycling and low rate performance due to their high solubility in traditional carbonate-based electrolytes and low conductivity. High-performance organic lithium batteries with modified ether-based electrolyte (2 m LiN(CF3SO2)2 in 1,3-dioxolane/dim...

a poly(lactic acid) (pla) based nanocomposite active packaging has been developed for the controlled release of tert-butylhydroquinone (tbhq) antioxidant. pla based active films were loaded with tbhq (3%wt) or mixture of modified cellulose nanofiber (mcnf) (8%wt) and tbhq (3%wt) to obtain active and nanocomposite active films, respectively. release studies indicated that the release rate of tbh...

Potentiometric sensing and electrochemical recycling of cadmium ion have been demonstrated over chemical interactive electrically conducting bio nanocomposite film comprised zinc oxide, sodium alginate, polypyrrole (ZnO/SA-g-PPy) using...

Self-assembled epitaxial BiFeO3-MgO and BiFeO3-MgAl2O4 nanocomposite thin films were grown on SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. A two-phase columnar structure was observed for BiFeO3-MgO codeposition within a small window of growth parameters, in which the pillars consisted of a magnetic spinel phase (Mg,Fe)3O4 within a BiFeO3 matrix, similar to the growth of BiFeO3-MgFe2O4 nanocomp...

Thermoelectric (TE) film has wide potential application in low-grade waste heat recovery and TE generation due to its quick response multifunctional integration. Multi-nanocomposite is a promising method solve the difficulty of maintaining temperature difference achieving high figure merit ZT. However, depletion layer induced by multi-nanocomposite typically degrades performance. This study pre...

UNLABELLED An excellent transparent film with effective absorption property in near-infrared (NIR) region based on cesium-doped tungsten oxide nanoparticles was fabricated using a facile double layer coating method via the theoretical considerations. The optical performance was evaluated; the double layer-coated film exhibited 10% transmittance at 1,000 nm in the NIR region and over 80% transmi...

Abstract Polymer inorganic nanocomposites are attracting a considerable amount of interest due to their enhanced electrical and optical properties. The inclusion nanoparticles into the polymer matrix results in significant change nanocomposite’s With this mind, we have developed nanocomposite film based on zinc oxide (ZnO) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) using solution casting method with varying conce...

This paper reports on a novel technology for low-noise un-cooled detection of infrared (IR) radiation using a combination of piezoelectric, pyroelectric, electrostrictive, and resonant effects. The architecture consists of a parallel array of high-Q gallium nitride (GaN) micro-mechanical resonators coated with an IR absorbing nanocomposite. The nanocomposite absorber converts the IR energy into...

Strawberries have a very short post-harvest life mostly due to their relatively high water content, intense metabolic activity and susceptibility to microbial rot. Antimicrobial low-density polyethylene nanocomposite films containing ZnO nanoparticles at different mass fractions were prepared by melt mixing and followed by compression moulding using a hot press machine. Fresh strawberries were ...

NIST RESEARCH SHOWS NANOCOMPOSITE CAN TAKE THE HEAT Remember the scene in “The Graduate” when a wouldbe mentor wraps his arm around young Benjamin and says, “I’ve got just one word for you . . . Are you listening? . . . Plastics!” If that film were being made in 1997, that one word might be nanocomposites. Nanocomposites are super plastics—compounds in which about 1 nm size particles of montmor...
