The sluggish electron transfer at the interface of microorganisms and an electrode is a bottleneck of increasing the output power density of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Mo-doped carbon nanofibers (Mo-CNFs) prepared with electrostatic spinning and high-temperature carbonization are used as an anode in MFCs here. Results clearly indicate that Mo2C nanoparticles uniformly anchored on carbon nanowire, and Mo-doped anodes could accelerate the electron transfer rate. The Mo-CNF ΙΙ anode delivered a maximal power density of 1287.38 mW m−2, which was twice that of the unmodified CNFs anode. This fantastic improvement mechanism is attributed to the fact that Mo doped on a unique nanofiber surface could enhance microbial colonization, electrocatalytic activity, and large reaction surface areas, which not only enable direct electron transfer, but also promote flavin-like mediated indirect electron transfer. This work provides new insights into the application of electrospinning technology in MFCs and the preparation of anode materials on a large scale.

“…Multiple materials compensate for certain attributes for each other, thereby achieving a synergistic effect. Unlike products made of a solo material, composites consisting of diverse materials have versatile functions that can satisfy demands of the manufacturers and scholars [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”

This study proposes the composites with a sandwich structure that is primarily made by the multi-step foaming process. The staple material is polyurethane (PU) foam that is combined with carbon fibers, followed by a Kevlar woven fabric. The composites are evaluated in terms of puncture resistance, buffer absorption, and electromagnetic wave shielding effectiveness (EMSE). The manufacturing process provides the composites with a stabilized structure efficiently. Serving the interlayer, a Kevlar woven fabric are sealed between a top and a bottom layer consisting of both PU foam and an aluminum film in order, thereby forming five-layered composites. Namely, the upper and lower surfaces of the five-layered sandwiches are aluminum films which is laminated on a purpose for the EMSE reinforcement. The test results indicate that the PU foam composites are well bonded and thus acquire multiple functions from the constituent materials, including buffer absorption, puncture resistance, and EMSE. There is much prospect that the PU foam composites can be used as a protective material in diverse fields owing to a flexible range of functions.

“…Along with advanced airplane materials, potential applications of CF are: CO 2 capture for reducing climate change [ 1 ]; battery electrodes applied to EVs [ 2 ]; and advancement of utilizations for thermally conductive carbon-reinforced composites [ 3 ]. Besides CF [ 4 , 5 ], several types of carbon reinforcements have been used, including: carbon nanotubes [ 6 , 7 ], carbon nanofibers [ 8 ], graphite, graphene, carbon black [ 9 ], and ultrathin carbon nanotube (CNT) veils to enhance interlaminar toughness [ 10 ].…”

A New Strengthening Process for Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastic Polyphenylene Sulfide (CFRTP-PPS) Interlayered Composite by Electron Beam Irradiation to PPS Prior to Lamination Assembly and Hot Press

Impact by hailstone, volcanic rock, bird strike, or also dropping tools can cause damage to aircraft materials. For maximum safety, the goal is to increase Charpy impact strength (auc) of a carbon-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyphenylene sulfide polymer (CFRTP-PPS) composite for potential application to commercial aircraft parts. The layup was three cross-weave CF plies alternating between four PPS plies, [PPS-CF-PPS-CF-PPS-CF-PPS], designated [PPS]4[CF]3. To strengthen, a new process for CFRP-PPS was employed applying homogeneous low voltage electron beam irradiation (HLEBI) to both sides of PPS plies prior to lamination assembly with untreated CF, followed by hot press under 4.0 MPa at 573 K for 8 min. Experimental results showed a 5 kGy HLEBI dose was at or near optimum, increasing auc at each accumulative probability, Pf. Optical microscopy of 5 kGy sample showed a reduction in main crack width with significantly reduced CF separation and pull-out; while, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron dispersive X-ray (EDS) mapping showed PPS adhering to CF. Electron spin resonance (ESR) of a 5 kGy sample indicated lengthening of PPS chains as evidenced by a reduction in dangling bond peak. It Is assumed that 5 kGy HLEBI creates strong bonds at the interface while strengthening the PPS bulk. A model is proposed to illustrate the possible strengthening mechanism.
