As traditional capping ligands like oleic acid (OA) and oleylamine (OLA) cannot efficiently maintain the optoelectronic properties and stability of iodide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), post synthesis surface modification with some other ligand is a convenient and valid method to solve these problems to some extent. Here we promote a long carbon chain ligand with a thiol group, 1-Octadecanethiol (ODT), to realize the passivation of the surface of CsPbI 3 NCs after the synthesis process. After modification, our ODT-CsPbI 3 NCs exhibit excellent optical properties with a high PLQY of 93% and outstanding stability under different conditions compared to the untreated samples.

We report on an efficient method for the production carboxy-modified graphene (carboxy-GR), and its application to a highly sensitive immunoassay for the livestock feed additive clenbuterol. Octadecanoic acid is shown to self-assemble on carboxy-GR via intermolecular interaction. Goat anti-mouse IgG was conjugated to 1-octadecanethiol-modified carboxy-GR and then deposited by self-assembly on a C18-modified gold surface. The resulting sensor surface was used to quantify clenbuterol by both surface plasmon resonance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The assay works in the 0.01 ng∙mL −1 to 10 ng∙mL −1 concentration range and the lower detection limit is 6.57 pg∙mL −1 . It is concluded that this fairly simple method can be extended to immunoassays for other food additives.
Principle of sensor system and immunoassay. (i) Binding of ACG–IgG with the alkyl chain of 1-octadecanethiol through intermolecular force onto the gold substrate; (ii) absorbance of Ab CLB onto the surface of ACG-IgG; and (iii) detection of CLB using an immunoassay based on Ab CLB –ACG–IgG.
Polymer-based form-stable phase change materials (FPCMs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent shape stability and facileness, low-energy-consumption preparation. However, bio-based recyclable phase change energy storage materials (PCMs), crucial for reducing pollution and sustainable energy storage, have not yet been prepared. Herein, we prepared a novel bio-based recyclable PCM (DGEM-18/FA/MA/xBW), in which a novel epoxy resin (DGEM) was synthesized by using bio-based magnolol and epichlorohydrin, bio-based 2-Furanmethanamine (FA) and C36-alkylenediamines bismaleimide (MA) were used to construct a reversible crosslinked network based on epoxy-amine ring opening and Diels-Alder (D-A) reactions as the supporting frame. And 1-Octadecanethiol (ODT) and bio-based beeswax (BW) with phase change property were introduced into this supporting frame by grafting on the C=C of Magnolol via “thiol-ene” click reaction and physical blending, respectively. The D-A and rD-A reactions proceed at the temperature below 80 ℃ and above 120 °C, respectively, which provides recyclability of the crosslinked network. The ODT and beeswax provide phase change latent heat up to 119.1 J/g for the sample DGEM-18/FA/MA/1.1BW. Furthermore, taking DGEM-18/FA/MA/0.4BW as an example, its shape memory performance has been explored, as well as its potential applications in recyclable thermal management coatings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the preparation of bio-based recyclable FPCMs.
