Plasma treatment and reduction are used to synthesize Pt nanoparticles (NPs) on nitrogen‐doped carbon nanotubes (p‐Pt/p‐NCNT) with a low Pt content. In particular, the plasma treatment is used to treat the NCNT to give it with more surface defects, facilitating a better growth of the Pt NPs, while the plasma reduction produces the Pt NPs with a reduced fraction of the surface atoms at the high oxidation...
A porous liquid crystalline elastomer actuator filled with an ionic liquid (PLCE‐IL) is shown to exhibit the functions of two classes of materials: electrically responsive, deformable materials for sensing and soft active materials for stimuli‐triggered actuation. On one hand, upon the order–disorder phase transition of aligned mesogens, PLCE‐IL behaves like a typical actuator capable of reversible...
This work reports an amorphization and partial desulfurization method to improve the performance of sulfide‐based materials for Na+ storage. Specifically, the polypyrrole derived carbon coated amorphous substoichiometric tin sulfide supported on aminated carbon nanotubes (PPY‐C@SnSx/ACNTs) with amorphized and substoichiometric tin sulfide (SnSx) is synthesized by simply thermal annealing the PPY‐C@SnS...
