A number of methods have been developed to exfoliate graphite oxide, and each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.

As a type of biodegrada polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, its environmentally friendly characteristic has been widely recognized around the world. However, its poor water resistance largely limits the popularization and application, due to a large number of hydrophilic groups in PVA molecules. In this work, glutaraldehyde and urea were used to react with PVA by acetal reaction, and then the plasticizers (glycerol, PEG-400, MgCl₂) were added to the system to destroy the hydrogen bonding of PVA and reduce its crystallinity, in order to achieve the plastic modification effect.

Polyimide (PI) is widely used in the field of insulating materials for electronic integrated circuits. With the continuous upgrading of the electronic communication industry, signal transmission is gradually developing toward high frequencies (such as 5G communication). In order to meet the requirements of faster signal transmission and lower dielectric loss, it is necessary to continuously reduce the dielectric constant of the insulating PI material on the printed circuit board (PCB).

Our country energy structure is "rich coal, less gas, lack of oil". Developing coal chemical resource utilization technology not only has important strategic significance for national energy security, but also has broad market prospects. Coal-tar, as a by-product of coking in the steel industry, is mainly composed of condensed aromatic hydrocarbons and has a relatively high carbon content. At present, it is mainly based on combustion, which brings a series of energy and environmental problems. Therefore, the efficient use of coal-tar resources is an industry problem that need to be solved urgently. The preparation of functional carbon materials from coal-tar is an effective way to explore the high value-added utilization of coal tar. In this paper, the main technology and application prospects of synthesizing porous carbon materials from coal-tar pitch were introduced. Analysis shows that the specific surface area and pore structure of the carbon material can be controlled by activation or template methods. However, due to the characteristics of coal tar raw materials, a single method is difficult to meet the development requirements of high-performance carbon materials. Therefore, adjusting the molecular structure of coal tar pitch by fine chemical technology, improving the molecular structure to change the physical and chemical properties of coal tar pitch is of great significance for the development of coal-tar pitch based carbon materials.

In this work, we prepare the conductive silver adhesive by using 90 wt.% silver powder with 10 wt.% epoxy matrix in order to produce a high-silver-content and high-performance conductive adhesive. We find silver nanoparticles would be produced by 0. 025 mol/L KI solution surface treatment of the silver powder under an in situ chemical reaction between the surface lubricant and the oxidized silver triggered by sunlight. These nano-sized silver particles are then sintered together on the surfaces of the silver micro-flakes and nano-particle balls in the silver powder during curing, which effectively increases the contact area between the adja-cent silver micro-flakes and nanoparticle balls, leading to decreasing electrical bulk resistivity and line resistance of the as-produced silver/epoxy conductive adhesive. Compared with the adhesive without KI surface treatment, our treated ones show 26% and 8% decrease in the electrical bulk resistivity and line resistance, respectively. It is applied to the photovoltaic panel to greatly improve its electrical conductivity.

Low loading amount of silicon particles and their weak interaction with the graphite matrix seriously restrict the commercial application of silicon/graphite anode materials. In this study, specific surface area of the graphite matrix is increased via the oxidation treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid and potassium permanganate. Sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate is used as the surfactant to improve the wet mixing uniformity of the nano-Si particles and graphite oxides (GOs). Citric acid is employed to catalyze the hydrolysis of sucrose which serves as carbon source, in order to generate integrated carbon coatings on the silicon/graphite composite materials after the pyrolysis step. Herein, the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements demonstrate that the improved carbon coating process can promote the reduction of GOs, obtain high graphitic Si/C composites, and realize the uniform dispersion of silicon particles in the graphite matrix. Owing to the synergistic effects, the resultant carbon-coated nano-silicon/graphite anode could retain a high specific capacity around 400 mAh/g after 100 cycles at the current density of 100 mA/g. The modification not only increases the specific capacity of the anode, but also effectively inhibits the volume expansion of silicon particles during the cycling process.
