In situ contrast-matched neutron scattering was used to probe the electrolyte infiltration behavior of activated supercapacitor carbon electrodes using an aquoeus 1 M NaCl solution. It was found that only about 20% of the pore volume was infiltrated at chemical equilibrium. The partial infiltration can be attributed to the co-existence of hydrophilic and hydrophilic pores. The study suggests that...
Three dimensional graphene networks (3DGNs) are promising electrode materials in electrochemical applications because they provide short diffusion pathways for electrolyte ions and fast transport channels for electrons, and act as an ideal scaffold for forming composites with pseudocapacitive materials to obtain a synergistic effect. This review offers an overview of recent advances in the synthesis...
Escherichia coli is the predominant pathogen in catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) and cystitis. CAUTI treated with prophylactic antibiotics induces antibiotic resistance in hospitals and nursing homes. Therefore, we developed a physical method to treat cystitis by using activated carbon (AC) fibers to remove lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the bladder. An in vitro assay showed that...
Acrolein (ACR) is a metabolite of cyclophosphamide (CYP) and induces hemorrhagic cystitis (HC). Here, we investigated the effectiveness of ZnO/carbon fiber (CF) composites as catalysts for removing ACR through photodegradation. Specimens composed of CF and zinc oxide (ZnO) were prepared and annealed at 200–400°C in air. For the ZnO/CF specimen annealed at 200°C (CZ200), a continuous and porous ZnO...
Thermal buckling of initially compressed single-walled carbon nanotubes subjected to a uniform temperature rise is presented by using molecular dynamics simulations. Comprehensive numerical calculations are carried out for armchair and zigzag carbon nanotubes with various geometric dimensions. The results show that thermal buckling can occur beyond a critical value of temperature when the tube is...
Buckling and postbuckling analysis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with (n,n)- and (n,0)-helicity, when acted upon by the destabilizing loads of axial compression, torsion and external pressure, is presented by using molecular dynamics simulation. Based on the interatomic interactions given by Brenner and Lennard–Jones potentials, the molecular dynamics method is used to determine the postbuckling...
