Enhanced Interfacial Contact and Lithium-Ion Transport in Ionic Liquid Polymer Electrolyte via In-Situ Electrolyte-Cathode Integration by Zehua Chen, Mianrui Li, Shengguang Qi, Li Du

“…Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent flexibility, strong interfacial adhesion, and good processibility. However, the poor interfacial contact between the separate solid polymer electrolytes and electrodes leads to large interfacial impedance and, thus, hinders Li transport. …”

Study on the mechanical properties and microstructure of PVA fiber-reinforced waste glass powder concrete by Yi Zhao, Siwen Chen, Shuisheng Yu, Shuai Wu, Yijie Bao

“…The –C–OH groups in PVA fibers form hydrogen bonds with –OH groups in cement hydration products, aided by the non-circular cross section and molecular structure of the fibers, enhancing adhesion at the cement matrix interface. An appropriate amount of PVA fibers increases the Ca/Si ratio in waste glass powder concrete, reducing C–S–H production at the interfacial bond and thereby improving the internal structure of the concrete. …”
