To clarify inconsistencies that still exist in the literature data, a systematic AFM study of polydopamine coating layers is performed for three different oxidants: air-O2, NaIO4, and KMnO4. The focus was on assessing reproducibility and uniformity in

Polydopamine (PDA) has shown great potentials in biomedical fields due largely to its unique physicochemical properties, including high photothermal transfer efficiency, excellent drug binding capacity, versatile adhesion ability, sensitive pH responsibility

The performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can be effectively increased with functionalized separators. Herein, it is demonstrated that polydopamine-based redox-active (PRA) separators can provide additional capacity to that of typical anode materials,

In this study, a high capacity (qm = 1351 mg g−1) with fast adsorption process (t < 5 min) towards bisphenol A (BPA) from water was achieved by an in-situ sp2 C dominant N-doped carbon (polydopamine-carbon, PDA-C). The adsorption mechanism facilitating

To meet the growing demand for lithium resources, it is ideal to develop a green and efficient approach for recovering lithium resources from discarded lithium-ion batteries. In this work, nanofiber membranes of 14-crown-4-ether polyimide (14C4PI) (Mn
