In this paper, the authors constructed a composite of FeS<sub>2</sub>@rGO-H as the carrier of sulfur. XRD, Raman, XPS SEM and BET analyses were used to characterize the obtained samples. The results showed that the prepared reduced graphene (rGO-H) obtained by the hydrazine hydrate and hydrothermal reduction method had a very high degree of reduction, which helped to accelerate the rapid transport of lithium ions in the positive sulfur electrode. And the FeS<sub>2</sub> fixed on rGO-H could inhibit the “shuttle effect” of polysulfide lithium and improved the cycling performance of sulfur positive electrode. Thus, the obtained composite FeS<sub>2</sub>@rGO-H/S exhibited excellent electrochemical properties: its initial discharge capacity was up to 1529.2mAh/g at 0.1C, which was 91 % of the theoretical specific capacity of S.

In order to understand the influence of the wall effect on flow regime transformation, a comprehensive experimental analysis, considering the effects of bed diameter, static bed height, and the properties of particles, was conducted using pressure drop data and visualization images. A new Hurst analysis, combined with a multi-scale resolution methodology, has been established to diagnose flow regimes, which successfully reflected the bubble characteristics of the fluidization system on the <em>meso</em>-scale. A generalized flow regime diagram was proposed based on the analysis of experimental data, and the influence of key factors on the velocity of flow pattern transformation was further investigated. On this basis, in the absence of preset function forms, the data-driven symbolic regression method was used to simultaneously search for the equation form and various parameters of the prediction correlation, and an empirical correlation formula for predicting the transformation of each flow pattern was automatically generated with excellent predictability.

There is an urgent need to design and develop efficient flame retardants to reduce the fire risks. Cotton clothes have been utilized in all human life to make them more convenient. But despite its wide utilization, its quick ignition makes it vulnerable to accidents. The present article is based on the preparation of covalently functionalized phosphorous grafting flame retardants for cotton fabric. The microwave irradiation facilitates the rapid synthesis of highly efficient flame retardant material from graphene oxide and polyphosphoric acid (PPA). In this method, in-situ basic reduced GO (BRGO) was synthesized and interacted with phosphorus functional groups, where negative counterparts of BRGO readily reacted with PPA leading to the formation of strong phosphorous and oxygen covalent bonds. The resultant P@BRGO is then coated on cotton fabric and checked for its flame retardancy by using spirit lamp test, vertical flammability test (VFT) and limiting oxygen index (LOI). The spirit lamp test reveals that the P@BRGO protected the cotton fiber from ignition for up to 754 s on continuous flame, while BRGO endowed cotton sustain for up to only 24 s. The mean LOI of P@BRGO/cotton is 43.14 % which is considerably higher than that of BRGO/cotton (23.04 %) and blank fabric (17.8 %).
