In this paper, a non-fullerene electron acceptor , SF(DPPFB) 4 , which owns a spirobifluorene core and four diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) arms end capped by 4-fluorobenzene, is designed and synthesized for solution-processable organic solar cells (OSCs). SF(DPPFB) 4 shows similar absorption bands as those of its non-fluorinated parent compound, SF(DPPB) 4 . However, the terminal fluorine atoms reduce the energy levels of SF(DPPFB) 4 , especially, its lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level decreases by 0.04 eV than that of SF(DPPB) 4 , which enlarges the energy offset between the electron donor and acceptor, favorable for the dissociation of excitons in OSCs. Moreover, the fluorination improves the electron mobility of SF(DPPFB) 4 . Thus, the OSCs with poly(3-hexylthiophene) as the electron donor and SF(DPPFB) 4 as the electron acceptor can provide a maximum power conversion efficiency of 4.42%, with a lifted short-circuit current ( J sc ) of 8.48 mA cm −2 .

Excellent crystallinity and uniform composition distribution of the Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) absorber are indispensable factors for the fabrication of photovoltaic device with excellent performance. Here, a facile and effective method is developed to improve the composition uniformity of CZTSSe absorber. It is inspiring that by replacing the acetates with chlorides as the solutes in the precursor solution , the issue of the composition non-uniformity especially for the distribution of Cu and Sn, which is ascribed to the rich-carbon in the acetate-based CZTSSe absorber, is able to be avoided. Due to less organic residues and composition uniformity, the grain size and the crystallinity of absorber could be significantly enhanced, and the photovoltaic performance of chloride-based CZTSSe solar cell is improved remarkably. Furthermore, substituting CuCl 2 with CuCl as the copper source in the precursor solution is able to obtain a stable solution, and the quality of CZTSSe absorber is further improved. As a consequence, 8.48% efficient CZTSSe solar cell has been yield.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising candidates for all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) due to their advantages of good interfacial adhesion and shape flexibility. However, the low ionic conductivity at room temperature (RT) and inferior electrochemical stability at high voltages limit the practical applications of SPEs. In this work, we demonstrate a cryogenic engineering to improve PEO-based SPEs for ASSLBs operated at RT. The rapid in situ cooling process will lead to the uniform formation of PEO crystal nuclei, which can limit the PEO crystal growth in SPEs. The novel crystallization structure could promote the ionic conductivity of SPEs effectively. Such improved cryogenic SPEs display a superior ionic conductivity of 2.17 × 10 −5 S cm −1 and a superior electrochemical stability at RT. A discharge capacity of 154.9 mAh g −1 can be achieved at 0.1 C and RT when LiFePO 4 (LFP) is used as the cathode. The discharge capacity can remain at ~98%, even after 100 cycles performed at 0.1 C. Notably, cryogenic SPEs can be utilized in 4 V-class ASSLBs. A high discharge capacity of 118 mAh g −1 can be achieved at 0.2 C and RT with the LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O 2 (NCM622) as the cathode and can retain a 94.1% capacity even after 100 cycles. These extraordinary performances of cryogenic SPEs break new ground for the fabrication of ASSLBs operated at RT and high voltages.

Biosynthesized nanocomposites are attracting growing interests because they are environmentally friendly. Ag 2 S nanoparticles (Ag 2 S NPs) are deposited in situ on the surfaces of TiO 2 nanotubes (TNTs) via Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 to form Ag 2 S/TNT nanocomposites. The prepared Ag 2 S/TNTs nanocomposites are characterized using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results show that Ag 2 S NPs smaller than 8 nm are successfully synthesized and fabricated on the TNT surfaces with relatively uniform distribution. The catalytic performance of the Ag 2 S/TNT nanocomposites is evaluated for catalytic reduction in the presence of NaBH 4 and the photocatalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) under visible light. The Ag 2 S/TNT nanocomposites show excellent catalytic activity and good stability in the 4-NP reduction process. The 4-NP degradation ratio reaches 98.3% in 50 min, and 87% conversion was achieved after eight cycles. The Ag 2 S/TNT nanocomposites also exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity for 4-NP at a rate of 0.69 h −1 , and the complete degradation of 4-NP was observed within 5 h. Therefore, this study offers an environmentally friendly approach to synthesize nanocomposites for practical applications.

A newly designed surface molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was developed using 4-methylimidazole as the template and ethylenediaminepoly (styrene-divinylbenzene) particles as the support material. The resulting MIP material was characterized with scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectrum, surface area, pore-size and thermal property measurements. Static adsorption, solid-phase extraction (SPE) and high-performance liquid chromatography were combined to study the adsorption characteristics and selective recognition performance of the polymer for 4-methylimidazole and its structural analogues. It was shown that the maximum binding capacities of 4-methylimidazole on the MIP and the non-imprinted polymer (NIP) were 416 and 227 µmol g−1 respectively. The binding process could be described by pseudo-second-order kinetics, and the adsorption equilibrium was achieved in 40 minutes. Compared with the corresponding NIP, the MIP exhibited much higher adsorption performance and selectivity for the template. After the separation of a mixture of 4-methylimidazole, benzimidazole and nitrophenol on the MIP–SPE and the NIP–SPE columns, the recoveries of 4-methylimidazole on the MIP–SPE and NIP–SPE columns were 96–102% and 34–39%, respectively, whereas those of benzimidazole and nitrophenol were below 19% on the two columns. In addition, more than 99% of 4-methylimidazole could be obtained on the MIP–SPE column from water and soil samples.

The structures of the three complexes are determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analyses, Fourier-transform infrared analysis, and photoluminescence. The fluorescent properties of the complexes in the solid state are investigated at room temperature, and the results indicate that they all show photoluminescent properties.

Energetic metal organic frameworks (EMOFs) are increasingly developed and have proven to be candidates for novel high energy density materials (HEDM). Here, two energetic metal complexes based on 3,5-diaminopyrazolone-4-oxime (DAPO) ligands were synthesized by simple steps and fully characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, X-ray single-crystal diffraction, and DSC-TG. The detonation performance was calculated using the Kamlet–Jacobs formula. The crystal densities of these complexes (C6H14N12O10Co (2) and C6H14N12O10Cd (3) are as high as 1.945 g cm−3 at 163 K and 2.072 g cm−3 at 298 K, respectively. Thermal analysis by the DSC-TG test shows that they all have good thermal stability with the highest decomposition temperatures of 287 °C and 344 °C, respectively. These two as-synthesized complexes exhibit excellent detonation performance; 2 (D = 8682 m s−1, P = 34.98 GPa) and 3 (D = 8383 m s−1, P = 33.78 GPa) have good detonation velocity and detonation pressure that are superior to those of TNT, which is widely used today. Thus, they show great promise for potential applications as thermally stable energetic materials.

Two new copper(II) complexes, {[Cu(bipmo)(npa)]} n ( 1 ) and {[Cu(bipmo)(pa)]} n ( 2 ) (bipmo=bis(4-(1 H -imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone), were synthesized by solvothermal methods and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data indicate that the solid state structures of 1 and 2 consist of neutral metal aromatic carboxylate layers, which are pillared by the weak interactions to generate 3D architectures. The topological structures of 1 and 2 are uninodal nets based on 4-connected nodes with the Schläfli symbol of (6 5 ·8).

In addition to growing on p-cresol, Pseudomonas putida NCIMB 9866 is the only reported strain capable of aerobically growing on 2,4-xylenol, which is listed as a priority pollutant by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Several enzymes involved in the oxidation of the para-methyl group, as well as the corresponding genes, have previously been reported. The enzyme catalyzing oxidation of the catabolic intermediate 4-hydroxyisophthalate to the ring cleavage substrate protocatechuate was also purified from strain NCIMB 9866, but its genetic determinant is still unavailable. In this study, the gene hipH, encoding 4-hydroxyisophthalate hydroxylase, from strain NCIMB 9866 was cloned by transposon mutagenesis. Purified recombinant HipH-His6 was found to be a dimer protein with a molecular mass of approximately 110 kDa. HipH-His6 catalyzed the hydroxylation of 4-hydroxyisophthalate to protocatechuate with a specific activity of 1.54 U mg−1 and showed apparent Km values of 11.40 ± 3.05 μM for 4-hydroxyisophthalate with NADPH and 11.23 ± 2.43 μM with NADH and similar Km values for NADPH and NADH (64.31 ± 13.16 and 72.76 ± 12.06 μM, respectively). The identity of protocatechuate generated from 4-hydroxyisophthalate hydroxylation by HipH-His6 has also been confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Gene transcriptional analysis, gene knockout, and complementation indicated that hipH is essential for 2,4-xylenol catabolism but not for p-cresol catabolism in this strain. This fills a gap in our understanding of the gene that encodes a critical step in 2,4-xylenol catabolism and also provides another example of biochemical and genetic diversity of microbial catabolism of structurally similar compounds.

Controllable morphological metal catalytic materials have always been a focus in research. In the previous work, hexapod AgCl was successfully synthesized. In this paper, hexapod Ag@AgCl microstructures with diverse Ag contents are prepared through NaBH4reduction. They are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the element distribution is proved by an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). They are porous dendritic microstructures with a large specific surface area and a rough surface, which display high catalytic performance and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) activity. Furthermore, the hexapod Ag@AgCl microstructure is devoted as a dual catalyst to monitor the reduction of 4-nitrothiophenol (4-NTP) to 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) in situ using SERS. Ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy was employed to evaluate the catalytic performance of the hexapod Ag@AgCl microstructures. The consequences show that the velocity of reaction became faster with a corresponding increase in silver content and the reaction mechanism was cleared. In addition to preparing a good catalyst, this work also promotes the combination of micro-nano materials and spectroscopy technology.Keywords:Ag@AgCl microstructure;in situ monitoring;surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy;4-nitrothiophenol reduction
