Wood has unique advantages. However, the rigid structure and intrinsic insulating nature of wood limit its applications. Herein, a two-step process is developed to render wood veneers conductive and flexible. In the first step, most of the lignin and hemicellulose in the wood veneer are removed by hydrothermal treatment. In the second step, electroless Ni plating and subsequent pressing are carried out. The obtained Ni-plated veneer is flexible and bendable, and has a high tensile strength of 21.9 and 4.4 MPa along and across the channel direction, respectively, the former of which is considerably higher than that of carbon cloth and graphene foam. Moreover, this product exhibits high electrical conductivity around 1.1 × 103 S m−1, which is comparable to that of carbon cloth and graphene foam, and significantly outperforms previously reported wood-based conductors. This work reveals an effective strategy to transform cheap and renewable wood into a high value-added product that rivals expensive carbon cloth and graphene foam. The obtained product is particularly promising as a current collector for flexible and wearable electrochemical energy storage devices such as supercapacitors and Li-ion batteries.

This paper constructs planar-type graphene thin film current collectors for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The present planar-type current collector adopts FR-4 as the substrate and coats a copper thin film using thermal evaporation for the electric-conduction layer. A graphene thin film is then coated onto the current collector to prevent corrosion due to electrochemical reactions. Three different coating techniques are conducted and compared: Spin coating, RF magnetron sputtering, and screen printing. The corrosion rates and surface resistances are tested and compared for the different coating techniques. Single cell PEMFCs with the developed current collectors are assembled and tested. A PEMFC module with two cells is also designed and constructed. The cell performances are measured to investigate the device feasibility.

Nanostructured LiFePO4 is appealing cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries. Herein, however, we report the intriguing anode properties of carbon coated LiFePO4 nanocrystals. In the potential range of 0–3.0 V, the LiFePO4 nanocrystal electrodes afford high reversible capacity of 373 mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at a current rate of 0.05 A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] and retains 239 mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at a much higher rate of 1.25 A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]. In addition, it is capable of sustaining 1000 cycles at 1.25 A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] without any capacity fading. Such superior properties indicate that nanostructured LiFePO4 could also be promising anode for rechargeable battery applications.
