A 3LiBH 4 /MnF 2 composite was prepared by mechanically milling a mixture of LiBH 4 and MnF 2 . The decomposition properties of the 3LiBH 4 /MnF 2 composite were investigated and compared with those of the 3LiBH 4 /MnCl 2 composite. Differing from the case for the 3LiBH 4 /MnCl 2 composite where only cation substituti…

Aluminum hydroxides (a family of seven compounds) are key raw materials in the aluminum industry, and indeed an extremely large variety of experiments and simulations was performed in the last 50 years on this class of materials. However, many of their properties still remain a matter of debate, as a comprehensive and…

We report on the spontaneous formation of superhydrophobic poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP)/graphene composite microspheres with uniform size via gelation. When the suspension of PVDF-HFP/graphene (0.25 wt. % with respect to PVDF-HFP) in DMF adsorbs water vapor, it changes to a hybrid gel. A dr…
