We report a simple and effective route to fabricate branched hierarchical flower-like nanostructures of ZnO on natural cotton cellulose fiber by combining electrospinning and the low-temperature hydrothermal growth technique. First, natural cotton cellulose nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning cotton cellulose /LiCl/DMAc solution. The electrospun cotton cellulose nanofibers served as flexible substrate, on which the branched, highly uniform, and dense flower-like ZnO were hydrothermally grown. The as-prepared cotton cellulose/ZnO nanocomposite fibers were characterized by SEM, HRTEM, EDS, TG, and UV-vis spectrophotometry. The modified cotton cellulose nanocomposite fibers were not only exhibiting dispersed uniformly, but also rendered excellent protection against UV radiation because of the incorporation of flower-like ZnO nanostructures. Therefore, the as-prepared nanocomposite fibers demonstrate a significant performance in ultraviolet protection and provide a potential application for ultraviolet detection.

In this research, ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induced graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was performed to modify the surface properties of poly-p-phenyleneterephthamide (PPTA) fibers. The improvement of adhesion with a rubber matrix was achieved due to the introduction of epoxy groups. The successful grafting of GMA on the PPTA fiber surface was ascertained by characterization using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tensile properties of PPTA fibers after each stage of surface modification were determined by tensile testing of single-filaments. A single-fiber pull-out test was applied to evaluate the adhesion of PPTA fibers with the rubber matrix. The pull-out force of grafted PPTA fibers exceeded that of the pristine fibers by 53.7%. Resorcinol–formaldehyde–latex (RFL) dipping was applied to further improve the adhesion properties. As a result, the fibers with GMA grafting followed by RFL dipping exhibited a 80.8% improvement compared with the pristine fibers and achieved much higher adhesion strength with rubber matrix, compared to the PPTA fibers modified with conventional industrial method of isocyanate (NCO) and RFL two bath dipping.

Herein, we report a photocatalytic heterojunction device of rutile TiO2 nanorod arrays based on a p–n silicon junction (TiO2@PN) and its full absorption of ultraviolet and visible light for synergistic photodegradation. The fabricated TiO2@PN had excellent photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) under irradiation of a 300 W Xe lamp, and its pseudo-first-order rate constant k was 0.221 h−1, which was greatly higher than that for TiO2 nanorod arrays based on an n–p silicon junction (TiO2@NP, 0.078 h−1) and glass (TiO2@G, 0.032 h−1). The higher photocatalytic performance of TiO2@PN could be attributed to the fact that the photovoltage (PV) of the p–n junction promotes separation of the electron–hole pairs of the TiO2, and the holes are thus left within the TiO2 nanorods to produce a strong oxidant of hydroxyl radicals (˙OH). Moreover, this heterojunction device could be easily fabricated in a large size for easy recovery and recycling, which shows its promise in the solar-driven degradation of environmental pollution.

Pure β-KYF4 nanocrystals codoped with Er3+/Yb3+ and Tm3+/Yb3+ were successfully synthesized via the thermal decomposition of trifluoroacetate precursors using oleic acid and octadecylene as coordinating solvents. The up-conversion optical properties of the β-KYF4 nanocrystals with different lanthanide (Ln)-doped ions (Yb3+/Er3+, Yb3+/Tm3+) were investigated. It is found that the colloidal dispersion of β-KYF4:Yb,Er/Tm nanocrystals display strong multiple up-conversion emission spanning from the deep UV-to-NIR regions under 980 nm excitation. Pure β-KYF4 nanocrystals codoped with Er3+/Yb3+ and Tm3+/Yb3+ can emit bright blue, green, yellow, and red emissions visible to the naked eye by adjusting the concentrations of Yb3+ sensitizer ion and Er3+ or Tm3+ activator ions. Moreover, the UC luminescent colors can be tuned for the four colors from blue to green to yellow and finally to red emission in the β-KYF4:X%Yb3+/(0.2%–2%)Er3+ and β-KYF4:25%Yb3+/0.2%Tm3+ colloidal samples. This work substantially expands our understanding of this category of KYF4 upconversion nanocrystals.

The narrow emission spectra of light emitting diodides (LED) as irradiation source has brought great challenge for the development of efficient photoinitiators sensitive to LED light. This paper described a series of novel unimolecular type II photoinitiators, containing thioxanthones as chromophores and benzodioxoles as coinitiators. The structures of the photoinitiators were characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometer. Study on the photophysical properties of the photoinitiators indicated that electron donors/acceptors as spacers between thioxanthone and benzodioxole affected both the UV–Vis absorption and the fluorescence emission. The long wavelength absorptions from 385 nm to 402 nm as well as low fluorescence quantum yields make the investigated benzodioxole derivatives quite attractive as efficient photoinitiators under UV-A and visible LED light irradiation. With a proper molecular design, the unimolecular photoinitiator exhibited higher initiation efficiency than the thioxanthone derivatives from the literature. Possible initiation mechanism was also proposed based on the photolysis study. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133 , 43239.

g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 photocatalysts were in-situ synthesized via a straightforward high-temperature calcination method and used to activate persulfate (PS) to degrade indole under different light irradiation. The prepared g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 photocatalysts were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, BET, XPS, FTIR, and photocurrent response analysis. The CNT 1:5 (mass ratio of g-C 3 N 4 to TiO 2 of 1:5) and CNT 24:1 (mass ratio of g-C 3 N 4 to TiO 2 of 24:1) showed the best performance in degradation of indole solution under UV and visible light, respectively. Free radical quenching experiments and band structure analysis determined that the UV/CNT 1:5 and PS-Vis/CNT 24:1 systems followed an S-scheme and type-II transfer mechanism, respectively. A detailed analysis using GC-MS revealed the indole's intermediate products and proposed the indole's degradation pathway. Furthermore, using natural water matrices, the removal of other typical organic compounds, including quinoline, pyridine, and phenol, was investigated in the UV/CNT 1:5 and PS-Vis/CNT 24:1 systems. The results of this study promote the application of g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 composites as organic degradation catalysts, reflecting the potential of composite materials in the removal of toxic organic compounds in coal chemical wastewater.

Marine biological fouling is a widespread phenomenon encountered by various oceanic ships and naval vessels, resulting in enormous economic losses. Herein, novel 4,5-dichloro-2-octyl-isothiazolone@sodium alginate/chitosan microcapsules (DCOIT@ALG/CS) were prepared through composite gel method using DCOIT as core materials, ALG and CS as shells, and CaCl2 as the cross-linking agent. The formed microcapsules (MCs) with Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were then filled in UV-curable polysiloxane (UV-PDMS), followed by UV irradiation to yield UV-PDMS/microcapsules/AgNPs (UV-PDMS/MCs/Ag) composite coatings. The constructed micro–nano dual-scale surface using the MCs and AgNPs improved the antifouling and antibacterial properties of UV-PDMS/MCs/Ag coatings. The as-obtained UV-PDMS/MCs/Ag coatings exhibited a static contact angle of about 160°, shear strength of 2.24 MPa, tensile strength of 3.32 MPa and elongation at break of 212%. The synergistic bacteriostatic effects of DCOIT and AgNPs in UV-PDMS/MCs/Ag coatings resulted in a bactericidal rate of 200 μg ml−1 towards Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with saturation at 100% within 10 min. In sum, the proposed composite coatings look promising for future marine transportation, pipeline networks and undersea facilities.

Pollution caused by per - and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) has raised global health concerns and there is an urgent need for researchers to find effective treatment methods. The covalent triazine framework (CTF) adsorbent materials with different structures based on various precursors using the ionothermal method were prepared and characterized in this study. Among them, F-doped CTF (F-CTF) is favorable for effective mass transfer in the adsorption process due to its rich microporous structure and large specific surface area. The maximum adsorption capacity (q max ) for PFOA reached 769.2 mg/g under the synergistic effect of electrostatic force and the interaction of F F. After six cycles of adsorption-desorption experiments, the adsorption and desorption rates of the F-CTF 400°C were stable at >90 %. This result indicates that F-CTF 400°C possesses high stability and recyclability. Furthermore, the desorption solution containing a high concentration of PFOA was treated directly by a UV/Na 2 SO 3 system, utilizing the e aq − within the system to decompose PFOA. The reduction and defluorination efficiencies for the desorption solution with high concentrations of PFOA reached 90 % and 40 %, respectively. The study results indicate that by leveraging the high adsorption selectivity and stable recoverability of F-CTF 400°C , the UV/Na 2 SO 3 system can completely remove PFOA. This approach offers a novel solution for the elimination of PFOA pollution in the environment.

Superhydrophobic coatings (SCs) can potentially reduce dust accumulation on the structure surfaces and mitigate environmental corrosion .In this study, a superhydrophobic coating composed of nano-SiO2, N-octyltriethoxysilane, and silane coupling agent was prepared for cement-based structures by green sol–gel method. By means of SEM, FTIR, XRD , EDS, and XPS, it was proved that cement-based superhydrophobic coatings were successfully formed on the surface of cement-based substrate. Two different techniques (brushing and replication) were used for fabricating cement-based superhydrophobic coatings (CBSCs), and their optimum preparation conditions were determined via orthogonal experiments. The obtained results revealed that the contact angle (CA) and sliding angle (SA) of the fabricated SCs reached 153° and 4°, respectively. Furthermore, the CBSCs exhibited outstanding self-cleaning properties and mechanical stability . Moreover, the chemical stability and UV-radiation resistance of the fabricated CBSCs were significantly improved compared with ordinary concrete.

Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) stand out owing to conspicuous catalytic activity, optical and electromagnetic properties, with applications ranging from photocatalysis to biosensor and photoelectric devices. Although photocatalysis with TiO 2 has emerged as a promising technique for preparing MNPs, the low photocatalytic efficiency of TiO 2 limits its practical utilization. Herein, a rapid photoreduction approach is presented to prepare MNPs under UV and visible light based on polydopamine (PDA)/TiO 2 composite surface. It found that the PDA-modified TiO 2 substrate can greatly enhance the photocatalytic efficiency and stability of MNPs, leading to rapid and highly-controllable preparation of MNPs. By this method, various Ag, Au, and Pd patterns with controllable metallization degree can be easily fabricated. In addition, the substrate can be effectively recycled through rapid photobleaching. This method will have a promising future in the preparation of MNPs for various applications.

In the realm of photodetector (PD) technology, photoelectrochemical (PEC) PDs have garnered attention owing to their inherent advantages. Advances in this field depend on functional nanostructured materials, which are pivotal in improving the separation and transport of photogenerated electron–hole pairs to improve device efficiency. Herein, a highly photosensitive PEC UV PD is built using integrated self-supporting SiC/ZnS heterojunction nanowire array photoelectrodes through anodization and chemical deposition. Compared with the original SiC nanoarrays, the optimized SiC/ZnS-25 nanoarrays exhibit high photocurrent density ( D ph , 809.2 µA cm −2 ), rapid rise/decay times ( τ r / τ d , 4/21 ms), high responsivity ( R λ , 1.226 A W −1 ), remarkable detectivity ( D * , 2.517 × 10 11 Jones), and large external quantum efficiency ( EQE , 40.57%) under 375 nm UV light with a bias voltage of 0.6 V. Furthermore, SiC/ZnS-25 delivers excellent self-powered performance, with R λ , D * , and EQE reaching 0.91 A W −1 , 1.69 × 10 11 Jones, and 30.24%, respectively. In addition, the device exhibits excellent long-term operation and aging stability under a bias voltage of 0.6 V and under self-powered conditions. The excellent photodetection behaviors of the SiC/ZnS PEC PD are mainly ascribed to the synergistic effect of the novel well-aligned nanowire geometry, heterojunction with ZnS nanofilms of optimal thickness, and integrated self-supporting configuration of the photoelectrode.

For large-area electronic and high shape complexity structure applications, various solution-processable materials are chosen as dielectric layer due to their simple molding process via spin-coating, casting, or 3D printing at room temperature. Herein, the acrylic-ended fluorinated hyperbranched polyaryletherketone ( hb -P6FAEK-Ace) was used as the prepolymer and then, the composition of photosensitive resin formula was regulated by adjusting the addition ratio of hb -P6FAEK-Ace and diluents (acrylimorpholine [ACMO] 1,6-Hexanediol diacrylate [HDDA]). These photosensitive resin solutions showed the relative low viscosities ranged ranging from 18 to 253 mPa S at 100°C which was in favor of the future 3D printing method and printing accuracy. Then, the obtained UV-cured films show the maximum tensile strength up to 71.9 MPa and superior thermal properties with the T g of 157°C–177°C and T 5% of 314°C–351°C. Moreover, they also exhibited the good dielectric performance with dielectric constants of 2.43–2.20 and dielectric loss of 0.013–0.014 at 1 MHz–1 GHz. These abovementioned satisfactory performance could be ascribed to the aromatic skeleton of hb -P6FAEK-Ace, introduced polarizability-CF 3 groups and the inner cavities for the hyperbranched structures, also the precise control of formula composition. Additionally, the curing degree, shrinkage of solid, and moisture properties were also researched thoroughly. This work provides a simple formula design though to construct the high performance and low dielectric photosensitive resin for the requirements of microelectronic applications.
