Porous polydivinylbenzene particles were prepared by dispersion polymerization, using AIBN as initiator, acetonitrile as solvent, calcium carbonate and polypyrrolidone used as dispersion stabilizer and porogen. Ratio of dispersion stabilizer with monomer affects the specific surface area and porous structure. Calcium carbonate and polypyrrolidone used porogen were studied.

Sensor Applications

The use of graphene and its derivatives in the development of electrochemical sensors has been growing in recent decades. Part of this success is due to the excellent characteristics of such materials, such as good electrical and mechanical properties and a large specific surface area. The formation of composites and nanocomposites with these two materials leads to better sensing performance compared to pure graphene and conductive polymers. The increased large specific surface area of the nanocomposites and the synergistic effect between graphene and conducting polymers is responsible for this interesting result. The most widely used methodologies for the synthesis of these materials are still based on chemical routes. However, electrochemical routes have emerged and are gaining space, affording advantages such as low cost and the promising possibility of modulation of the structural characteristics of composites. As a result, application in sensor devices can lead to increased sensitivity and decreased analysis cost. Thus, this review presents the main aspects for the construction of nanomaterials based on graphene oxide and conducting polymers, as well as the recent efforts made to apply this methodology in the development of sensors and biosensors.

Abstract Construction of metal selenides with a large specific surface area and a hollow structure is one of the effective methods to improve the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors. However, the nano-material easily agglomerates due to the lack of support, resulting in the loss of electrochemical performance. Herein, we successfully design a three-dimensional graphene (3DG) encapsulation-protected hollow nanoboxes (CoSe2-SnSe2) composite aerogel (3DG/CoSe2-SnSe2) via a co-precipitation method coupled with self-assembly route, followed by a high temperature selenidation strategy. The obtained aerogel possesses porous 3DG conductive network, large specific surface area and plenty of reactive active sites. It could be used as a flexible and binder-free electrode after a facile mechanical compression process, which provided a high specific capacitance of 460 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, good rate capability of 212.7 F g-1 at 10 A g-1, and excellent cycle stability due to the fast electron/ion transfer and electrolyte diffusion. With the as-prepared 3DG/CoSe2-SnSe2 as positive electrodes and the AC (activated carbon) as negative electrodes, an asymmetric supercapacitor (3DG/CoSe2-SnSe2//AC) was fabricated, which delivered a high specific capacity of 38 F g-1 at 1A g-1 and an energy density of 11.89 W h kg-1 at 749.9 W kg-1, as well as a capacitance retention of 91.1% after 3000 cycles. This work provides a new method for preparing electrode material.

The as spun amorphous (Fe78Si9B13)99.5Zr0.5 (Zr0.5) and (Fe78Si9B13)99Zr1 (Zr1) ribbons having a Fenton-like reaction are proved to bear a good degradation performance in organic dye wastewater treatment for the first time by evaluating their degradation efficiency in methylene blue (MB) solution. Compared to the widely studied (Fe78Si9B13)100Zr0 (Zr0) amorphous ribbon for degradation, with increasing cZr (Zr atomic content), the as-spun Zr0, Zr0.5 and Zr1 amorphous ribbons have gradually increased degradation rate of MB solution. According to δc (characteristic distance) of as-spun Zr0, Zr0.5 and Zr1 ribbons, the free volume in Zr1 ribbon is higher Zr0 and Zr0.5 ribbons. In the reaction process, the Zr1 ribbon surface formed the 3D nano-porous structure with specific surface area higher than the cotton floc structure formed by Zr0 ribbon and coarse porous structure formed by Zr0.5 ribbon. The Zr1 ribbon’s high free volume and high specific surface area make its degradation rate of MB solution higher than that of Zr0 and Zr0.5 ribbons. This work not only provides a new method to remedying the organic dyes wastewater with high efficiency and low-cost, but also improves an application prospect of Fe-based glassy alloys.
