X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful tool to study surface properties (< 10
nm) and is being widely used in almost all branches of science and engineering. This review …

Silanes are widely used to enhance the corrosion resistance of cement-based materials by
endowing the substrate with hydrophobicity. However, their applications in fly ash/slag …

Sulfur cathodes are inexpensive and exhibit a high theoretical charge-storage capacity of
1672 mA· hg–1. Consequently, electrochemical lithium–sulfur batteries can attain a high …

Functioned covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted tremendous attentions in the
separation fields. Nonetheless, the application of COFs sorbents under complex flavoniod …

Urushiol monomers, which are used as a new ultraviolet curable binder (Ur Binder), have
been directly applied to prepare silicon/graphite electrodes of lithium batteries …

Vegetable tanning is an ancient process that uses polyphenols to transform animal hides
and pelts into durable and structurally stable leather. Inspired by this, polyamide 66 (PA66) …

In this paper, castor oil based UV-cured coatings are prepared via thiol-ene click reaction by
varying molar content of a self-synthesized phosphorus-containing flame retardant (DA), a …

Magnesium–sulfur batteries are elusive candidates for the post‐lithium‐ion battery. Their
critical challenge for commercialization is rapid capacity fading due to polysulfide shuttle …

A promising cathode material RGO/SiO 2/S composite for an advanced room-temperature
