A facile method combined with electroless nickel plating and carbonization to fabricate textured Ni-coated carbon tube for flexible strain sensor

Fabrication of Ni-Encapsulated Carbon Tube/Poly(dimethylsiloxane) Composite Materials for Lightweight and Flexible Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Material

“…The nitrogen atom in −NH 2 and oxygen atom in −OH have a lone pair of electrons in the hybrid orbital. These electrons can occupy the vacant electron orbital of Pd particles. ,, As expected, the Pd signal is detected in the Cl–Pd cotton; of note, Pd particles are equably displayed on the substrate (Figure c). The H 2 PO 2 + in the ECP solution can deoxidize the absorbed Pd 2+ into Pd atoms.…”

“…Crystalline Bragg peaks at ∼45, ∼52, and ∼76°are evident in the XRD pattern of ECP-Ni cotton (Figure 2e), suggesting that face-centered cubic (FCC)structured Ni granules were generated on the fiber surface. 32,36,37 Additionally, there are some well-proportioned, consecutive, and series of spheroidal particles on the fiber cover in the SEM images (Figure 2fI,II), and an EDS characteristic peak of nickel appears in the Figure 2fIII spectrum, indicating that the fabrication of ECP-Ni cotton was accompanied by an Ni-encapsulated fiber fabric (Figure 2fIV demonstrates the structural representation). According to Figure 2a, a satisfactory textured Ni-encapsulated plant fiber was created using the straightforward ECP-Ni technique on commercial cotton.…”

“…It should be noted that the core tier (vegetable fiber) could cling to the metal's inner surface under the condition of high temperatures after being carbonized. 1,36 Specifically, the internal vegetable fiber is transferred to an amorphous carbon tube with an Ni/carbon tube structure. The cotton with hollow characteristic makes it possible to successfully reduce the mass density.…”

Impact of mesoporous SiO2 support for Ni/polypyrrole nanocomposite particles on their capacitive performance

“…Metallic Ni has been preferred over NiO as the former is superior in magnetic, catalytic and conducting properties and thus would improve the application prospects in areas of magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic fluid, electronic goods, automotive catalytic converters and biotechnology. 40–43 The mesoporous structure of SiO 2 support will ensure good active site accessibility, fast electron and ion transportation at the electrode/electrolyte interface, reduce the ion diffusion path and can accommodate the expanded volume during cycling operation. 9,44 The porous structure can also improve the dispersibility of the active site and hence the contacting area.…”
