In this paper, cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was employed to prevent the restack of the thermally reduce graphene oxide (TRG) sheets. A facile approach was demonstrated to effectively enlarge the interlayer distance of the TRG sheets through the ionic interaction between the intercalated CT…

Humic acid amide (HA-amide) was prepared by amidation of HA and dodecylamine (DDA) with carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) as coupling reagent. Furthermore, HA-amide was added to poly (lactic acid) (PLA) as a nucleating agent to prepare poly (lactic acid)/humic acid amide composites (PLA/HA-amide) by melt blending. The struct…

For the first time, WO2.72 nanowires were in-situ grown on carbon cloth by a simple solvothermal reaction. The nanowire WO2.72/carbon cloth (NW WO2.72/CC) electrode showed good electrochemical performance with specific capacitance (Cs) reaching up to 398 F g−1 at a current density of 2 A g−1. The capacitance of 240 F…

Abstract Spin caloritronics investigates the interplay between the transport of spin and heat. In the spin Seebeck effect, a thermal gradient across a magnetic material generates a spin current. A temperature difference between the energy carriers of the spin and lattice subsystems, namely the magnons and phonons, is…

CoFe2O4 (core)/BiFeO3 (shell) nanoparticles are prepared by varying the relative molar concentration of core and shell materials (40%CoFe2O4-60%BiFeO3, 50%CoFe2O4-50%BiFeO3, and 60%CoFe2O4-40%BiFeO3). The core-shell nature is confirmed from transmission electron microscopy on these samples. A plot of ΔM (=MFC-MZFC) vs…

We investigated the thermoelectric properties of the ternary half-Heusler compound, TiNiSn, when introducing C and N. The addition of C or N to TiNiSn leads to an enhanced power factor and a decreasing lattice thermal conductivity by point defect phonon scattering. The thermoelectric performances of TiNiSn alloys are…
