The current paper describes enhanced electrochemical capacitive performance of chemically grown Cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)2) nanorods (NRs) decorated porous three dimensional graphitic carbon foam (Co(OH)2/3D GCF) as a supercapacitor electrode. Freestanding 3D porous GCF is prepared by carbonizing, high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) polymerized styrene and divinylbenzene. The PolyHIPE was sulfon...

Three new sulfonated porous coordination polymers (PCPs)/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been synthesized using solvothermal methods. These PCPs possess porous structures with non-coordinating sulfonic acid groups or sulfonate with dimethyl ammonium cations and exhibit high proton conductivity at a low humidity of 60% RH (relative humidity) at ambient temperature.

Oxygen-enriched carbon materials derived from carbon dioxide were functionalized using sulfonic acid to remove Sr ions from aqueous solutions. Synthesized sulfonated porous carbon materials (PC-SO3H) showed higher adsorption capacity and selectivity towards Sr than non-functionalized porous carbons (PC). The formation of the C-SO3H functional group in PC-SO3H and its ability to proton exchange ...

Herein 2,3-dialdehyde cellulose beads prepared from Cladophora green algae nanocellulose were sulfonated and characterized by FTIR, conductometric titration, elemental analysis, SEM, f-potential, nitrogen adsorption–desorption and laser diffraction, aiming for its application as a potential immunosorbent material. Porous beads were prepared at mild reaction conditions in water and were chemical...

Sulfonated activated carbon (SAC) is one of green catalysts that has been successfully synthesized from palm shell waste. The SAC have tested in the hydrolysis cellulose bunch to simple sugar. were prepared waste by converting followed sulfonating step. characterized using XRD, SEM, FTIR and gravimetric methods. show as porous amorphous materials acidic properties, a prerequisite for good catal...

Using facile diazonium chemistry, sulfonate groups have been covalently attached to single wall carbon nanotubes. The resulting sulfonated tubes form a stable aqueous dispersion in the presence of pyrrole monomer. Subsequent electropolymerisation results in a conductive, electroactive polypyrrole doped with sulfonated tubes being formed at unusually low potentials. The potential of this materia...

Up to now, various empty carbon fullerenes with different magic number "n", such as C10, Cow Cm, Cso,Cis** Cm and so on. have been obtained. The calix[n]arenes are a class of chalice-like rnacrocyclicmolecules that have attracted widespread attention as complex molecules with liquid crystal behaviors.These classes of compounds are cyclic ohgomers synthessid by condensation of a para-alkylated p...

Nowadays, aquatic pollution is one of the most important global challenges, due to discharges a wide variety various hazardous materials from different activities which have significant environmental, economic and healthy impacts. Industries related organic dyes onsume large amounts water contribute significantly growing problem pollution. The current study describes conversion plant wastes int...

New type of humidity sensor based on Carbon thin film active nano layers, modified with sodium salt of sulfonated Nickel phthalocyanine is presented. The sensor shows high sensitivity due to the high surface area of Carbon nanoparticles, good long-time stability and sensitivity in the range from 20 to 85 % relative humidity (RH). The response is linear in semilogarithmic plot – logarithm of imp...

Sulfonated carbon nanotubes (S-CNTs) and sulfonated graphene (S-Gra) with superior dispersibility were successfully prepared to modify poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) for applications in polymer solar cells (PSCs). The synergetic effect between S-CNTs/S-Gra and PEDOT:PSS could remove excess insulating PSS chains leading to an obvious phase separation between ...
