Fluorographites (CF x ) are ultrahigh-energy-density cathode materials for alkaline-metal primary batteries. However, they are generally not rechargeable. To elucidate the reaction mechanism of CF x cathodes, in situ transmission electron microscopy characterizations and ab initio calculations are employed. It is found that it is a two-phase mechanism upon K/Na/Li ion insertion; crystalline KF (crystalline NaF nanoparticles and amorphous LiF) is generated uniformly within the amorphous carbon matrix, retaining an unchanged volume during the discharge process. The diffusivity for K/Na/Li ion migration within the CF x is ≈2.2–2.5 × 10 –12 , 3.4–5.3 × 10 –12 , and 1.8–2.5 × 10 –11 cm 2 s –1 , respectively, which is comparable to the diffusivity of K/Na/Li ions in liquid-state cells. Encouraged by the in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results, a new rechargeable all-solid-state Li/CF x battery is further designed that shows a part of the reversible specific discharge capacity at the 2nd cycle. These findings demonstrate that a solid-state electrolyte provides a different reaction process compared with a conventional liquid electrolyte, and enables CF x to be partly rechargeable in solid-state Li batteries.

This study describes the fabrication and properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) filtration membranes modified by blending with ionic liquid block copolymer P(MMA- b -MEBIm-Br), which is synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization method. The attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron analyses reveal that the ionic liquid block copolymers are immobilized on PVDF membrane surface. The modified PVDF membrane exhibits excellent charged and antifouling properties because of the charged and hydrophilic properties of the copolymer. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy also indicate the morphological characteristics of the membrane and demonstrate that the surface porous structure becomes denser after adding the copolymer. The data of filtration and the zeta potential of the membranes suggest that the charged properties of the ionic liquid block copolymers are mainly responsible for the improvement of the reversible fouling ratio and the decrease in the total fouling ratio of the membranes. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Biofouling is a great challenge for polymeric membrane ion-selective electrodes applied in environmental monitoring. Herein, we propose a simple and universal approach to immobilize silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on ISEs for biofouling mitigation. As a proof-of-concept, a PVC-based carbonate-selective electrode is chosen as a model sensor. Ag NPs can be readily formed on the surface of electrode membrane by immersion of the electrode into an AgNO 3 solution, followed by immersion in a NaBH 4 solution. Experimental results show that the Ag NPs modification does not impair the electrode’s analytical performance (i.e., selectivity, sensitivity, response time, and detection limit), but provides the electrode with excellent antibacterial properties and improved analytical stability when exposed to a high concentration marine bacterial suspension of 10 8 CFU mL −1 . The Ag NPs show a low release rate and excellent rechargability on the electrode, thus ensuring sustainable biofouling resistance. Moreover, the proposed method demonstrates good applicability to other electrodes based on polymeric membranes, such as chloride-selective electrode and lead-selective electrode.

Combining photodynamic antimicrobials with nonwovens is prospective. However, common photosensitizers still have drawbacks such as poor photoactivity and the inability to charge. In this study, a photodynamic and high-efficiency antimicrobial protective material was prepared by grafting bis benzophenone-structured 4,4-terephthaloyl diphthalic anhydride (TDPA) photosensitizer, and antimicrobial agent chlorogenic acid (CA) onto spunbond-meltblown-spunbond (SMS) membranes. The charging rates for · OH and H 2 O 2 were 6377.89 and 913.52 μg/g/h. The light absorption transients structural storage remained above 69% for 1 month. High electrical capacity remained after seven cycles indicating its rechargeability and recyclability. The SMS/TDPA/CA membrane has excellent bactericidal performance when under illumination or lightless conditions, and the bactericidal efficiency of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus reached over 99%. The construction of self-disinfection textiles based on the photodynamic strategies proposed in this paper is constructive for expanding and promoting the application of textile materials in the medical field.

Near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) with high brightness, small sizes, good hydro-dispersivity, and intrinsic surface-functional groups are desirable in biological applications. In this work, Cr3+-doped zinc gallogermanates Zn1+xGa2−2xGexO4:Cr (ZGGC) PLNPs were hydrothermally synthesized via 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as an additive, or APTES and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as two co-additives. Addition of APTES not only dramatically enhances the 696 nm NIR luminescence intensity, but also obviously decreases the particle size and introduces amino groups. In particular, the x = 0.1 series ZGGC (ZGGC0.1) with the addition of n moles equivalent APTES (ZGGC0.1-nA) had smaller particle sizes than the x = 0.2 counterpart (ZGGC0.2-nA). The NIR afterglow intensities increased with the APTES introduction. The ZGGC0.2-2.5A sample (also named as ZGGC, Si, -NH2) exhibited maximum luminescence intensities both in solid and aqueous states. With APTES, Si atom is doped and –NH2 groups are modified, the trap depth and density become larger, and the afterglow intensities and decay time are significantly enhanced. More notably, co-addition of CTAB (ZGGC0.2-2.5A-C) (also named as ZGGC, Si, −NH2') further enhances hydro-dispersivity and luminescence intensity, decreases particle sizes, and results in more prominent amino groups. The trap density is drastically higher than that without CTAB (i.e. ZGGC0.2-2.5A). Change of Cr3+ microenvironment in the crystal and more defects introduction contribute to the enhanced brightness. As expected, the ZGGC,Si,-NH2' PLNPs possess excellent biocompatibility, deep tissue penetration and distinguished bioimaging properties, and rechargeability with orange LED light. The ZGGC,Si,-NH2' PLNPs should provide to be an excellent nanomaterial for various functionalization and bioimaging applications.
