The design of playware based on the lessons learned from user-friendly robotics suggests a focus on a number of design criteria to help achieving playware systems that can and will be used according to the Playware ABC by anybody, anywhere, anytime. The design criteria are described in this paper, and they include: modularity, explicit immediate fe...
Anode graphite was recovered from a spent lithium ion battery (LIB) and reutilized as a carbon precursor to obtain graphene-based materials. Characterization results revealed that impurities were removed from the obtained graphite powder by cleansing processes. The as-synthesized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) from the purified graphite (LIB-rGO) dem...

In this study, three different Ag micro/nano leaves were successfully synthesized through a galvanic displacement reaction by adjusting the concentration of Ag+. The catalytic activities of the prepared Ag micro/nano leaves toward ORR showed strong dependence on their morphology. An optimal concentration of Ag+ can result in a well-defined Ag micro...
Cactus-like amorphous alumina microspheres (CA-AlOx) were fabricated by a facile solvothermal method without templates. The as-prepared CA-AlOx material exhibited the amorphous structure which is beneficial to the large specific surface area, developed pore structure, abundant functional groups and high reactivity of coordinatively unsaturated Al s...
