Superfine Ag2WO4 antibacterial powders, which are prepared by supersonic assisted homogeneous precipitation method, is added 1.0-1.5wt.% to sanitary ceramics, having 90% antimicrobial action, and achieve good bactericidal effects. The antibacterial ceramics with Ag2WO4 were soaked into acid and alkali for 3 months, and antibacterial activities had little change, keeping good antimicrobial durability. Finally, the antibacterial mechanism of Ag2WO4 ceramics is advanced.
Lignin was proposed to an attractive precursor for making carbon fibers (CFs) owing to its high carbon yield, low‐cost, and renewable sourcing. In this work, Lignin/polyacrylonitrile (PAN)‐derived CFs were prepared and characterized to investigate the effects of Lignin units on their porous texture and surface chemistry. The results showed that the LP20‐CF prepared from PAN with 20% Lignin had higher surface areas than that of the pristine LP0‐CF, and it possessed interconnected multidimensional network with fiber bonding. Moreover, Lignin/PAN‐derived CFs contained more oxygen functional groups of CO, COOR, and nitrogen functional groups of N‐6, NQ than the pristine CFs. These results indicated that the Lignin could be beneficial to achieve CFs with special structure, developed porosity and rich surface chemistry without activation. Therefore, the utilization of Lignin to produce pores and improve surface chemistry of CFs was a simple and effective strategy for preparing the low‐cost and high‐performance functional carbon materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
