In situ chemo‐polymerized polypyrrole‐coated filter paper for high‐efficient solar vapor generation

“…48,70 The peaks at 1162, 1072, and 881 cm −1 are ascribed to stretching vibration of the C─N and C─N + groups; on the other hand, the peaks at 2925 cm −1 (N─H), 1545 cm −1 (C═C), 1440 cm −1 (C─C), 1209 cm −1 (C─C), 987 cm −1 (C═C), 828 cm −1 (C─H), and 779 cm -1 (C─H) are attributed to PPy stretching modes. 59,74,75 After deposition of PPy layers onto the surface of filter paper, the composite membrane shows a near-zero transmission value and a low reflection (approximately 20%) in the entire solar spectrum, as shown in Figure 2B, and the solar absorption ratio is estimated by the following equation: 73 The Raman spectra of PCP and pure PPy particles exhibits the characteristic Raman shifts of PPy as shown in Figure 2A, such as 1592, 1497, 1376, 1239, 1088, 973, and 937 cm −1 .…”

“…This indicates the enhanced interactions between the supporting materials and the PPy as the photothermal materials. 59,74,75 After deposition of PPy layers onto the surface of filter paper, the composite membrane shows a near-zero transmission value and a low reflection (approximately 20%) in the entire solar spectrum, as shown in Figure 2B, and the solar absorption ratio is estimated by the following equation:…”

Simplified fast synthesis of strong-coupling composite supercapacitor materials by one-step bipolar pulse electrodeposition

“…The high-intensity peak at 1559 cm −1 is attributed to the symmetric stretching of the aromatic CC ring, the peak at 1345 cm −1 is related to the ring-stretching mode of PPy, the peak at 1053 cm −1 is attributed to C–H in-plane deformation, and the peak at 940 cm −1 corresponds to the CC backbone stretching, indicating the successful polymerization of PPy. 48–50 In addition to that, it can be seen that there are three distinct peaks at 471, 512 and 674.5 cm −1 , which are caused by Co 9 S 8 . 51–53 Meanwhile, the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra in Fig.…”

Decontamination of Mustard Gas with Processable Dry Reactive Polymers via Oxidation–Chlorination

“…The decontamination of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) has always been an important research subject in public safety as well as in national defense areas because of the increasing potential threats of chemical attack from terrorist organizations. − To date, great efforts have been made to develop different active materials against CWAs, including nanocrystalline metal oxides, − enzymes, − metal–organic frameworks, , transition-metal carbides, and reactive polymers. − To meet the growing demand of self-detoxifying protective clothes and coating, polymers with reactive moieties, which are capable of degradation of CWAs, have been extensively investigated because of their good processing performance, potential of being fabricated into textiles, and feasibility of sorbent modification. − It makes sense to incorporate processable polymers with self-decontamination function into protective materials, which could enhance protective performance and avoid secondary contaminations caused by CWA residue. − Moreover, polymeric decontamination materials would show completely different behaviors not only in processibility but also in mechanisms, kinetics and applicable scenarios, with the corresponding small molecule decontamination agents. Thus, a lot of research needs to be done in order to comprehensively clarify the feasibility of polymer materials as active decontamination materials as well as their decontamination behaviors.…”
