Heterojunction formation has been considered as an effective way for exploring ultrahigh sensitive multi-metal oxide based gas sensors. Herein, unique hierarchical radial CeO 2 /ZnO heterostructures with excellent triethylamine (TEA) gas-sensing performance were successfully prepared via a feasible solvothermal method . The morphology, microstructure and gas-sensing performance of the composite were systematically characterized and investigated. The selective TEA gas response of the radial CeO 2 /ZnO heterostructure was increased by ten times as compared to that of pure ZnO phase, ascribing to the abundant reactive sites induced by the formation of n-n heterojunction . Furthermore, the radial CeO 2 /ZnO n-n heterojunction exhibited the best TEA gas sensitivity with R a /R g = 92.17 at an operating temperature of 200 °C, a fast response/recovery time of 29 s/23 s, and a long-term stable repeatability for at least 60 days. The excellent selectivity of CeO 2 /ZnO heterojunction for TEA sensing is also remained even when mixing with other interferent gases. The interface-dependent and enhanced TEA sensing property of CeO 2 /ZnO can be ascribed to its intriguing radial morphology, for which the CeO 2 nanoparticles located in the internal structure of the composite while the ZnO hexagonal prism grew radially outward. The well assembled hierarchical CeO 2 /ZnO n-n heterojunction with abundant accessible active sites significantly facilitate the surface reaction and diffusion of target gas molecules at the interface between CeO 2 and ZnO during gas sensing process.

Lithium-oxygen (Li-O 2 ) batteries with high theoretical energy density are well developed over the past decade, as the cycle performance and round-trip efficiency had enhanced prominently. However, there are still several obstacles that need to be tackled before commercial application. Among them, proper cathode structure design with low cost stands as a core problem. A Typical type of gas diffusion layer cathode are usually carbon paper, which is valuableness, meanwhile, cannot fit the application of flexible devices. In this work, non-woven fabrics were applied as basis materials to synthesis Fe 3 C/N-doped carbon tubes gas diffusion layer by a simple carbonization method. The resulting carbon cloth can be used directly as binder-free and current collector-free cathode for Li-O 2 batteries. More than 130 stable cycles were achieved. The composite synthesized in this paper has the possibility for future application in flexible lithium-oxygen batteries and provide a new strategy for the recovery of non-woven fabrics.

Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as an attractive treatment option for efficient removal of pathogenic bacteria. However, aPDT in deep tissue will encounter difficulties such as limited light penetration depth, insufficient oxygen (O 2 ) supply and inability to eliminate inflammation introduced by bacteria, which hinders its clinical application. Herein, the near infrared (NIR) strategy of simultaneously generating O 2 and CO was developed for aPDT based antibacterial therapy and mitigation of deep infection inflammation. Methods: We prepared NIR-mediated multifunctional aPDT nanoplatform (POS-UCNPs/ICG) producing therapeutic gas of O 2 and CO. The CO, O 2 and ROS generation of the nanoplatform were characterized by dye probes, respectively. The antibacterial activity and anti-inflammation of POS-UCNPs/ICG were demonstrated in vitro and in vivo . In addition, the therapeutic effects in vivo were serially analyzed by immunofluorescence staining, Masson's staining, hematoxylin and eosin staining, colony formation units (CFU) and so on. Results: NIR-mediated multifunctional aPDT nanoplatform was realized by combining the up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and partially oxidized SnS 2 (POS) nanosheets (NSs) as well as indocyanine green (ICG). Using a single 808 nm light, aPDT can be achieved via ICG molecules, meanwhile, O 2 /CO can be generated by POS NSs through upconversion light excitation. During the aPDT process, O 2 can enhance aPDT, while CO can regulate inflammation through the PI3K/NF-κB pathway. Therefore, POS-UCNPs/ICG groups had a highest percentage of healing area up to 91.55±1.26% in mouse abscess model. Conclusion: Due to enhanced aPDT and anti-inflammatory collaborative therapy, the POS-UCNPs/ICG composites showed remarkably accelerated recovery in animal abscess models. Such NIR light responsive nanoplatform with optimized antibacterial capacity and immunomodulatory functions is promising for clinical therapeutics of bacteria-induced infections.

Gas sensors based on metal oxide semiconductor adduce a low cost and reliable solution for the leakage detection of methane, which is highly explosive. However, it is a fact that MOS gas sensors suffer from a heavy cross sensitive response to volatile organic compounds such as ethanol and acetic acid. With the help of filters, metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors could become quite selective to methane. Here, a novel on-chip microfilter was designed for metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors. The on-chip microfilter is fabricated from porous alumina ceramics loaded with platinum on the surface. The active filter was continuously heated by sensor chips. Whereas, it was kept intact with sensing films and reactive gas molecules have to diffuse through the porous ceramics before reaching the surface of metal oxide semiconductor. It was found that both selective response and sensitive response to methane were enhanced by the on-chip microfilter. This is similar to the reported active filter, which is prepared from catalytic films and deposited directly on the top of sensor layer. Additionally, it was indicated that the on-chip microfilter not only limited to tin dioxide but also valid for indium oxide based on sensors.

Chiral covalent organic framework materials have many excellent properties, which have received much attention in the field of separation. Synthesized the covalent organic framework COF-TpBD (NH 2 ) 2 modified, respectively, by L-valine trifluoroacetyl derivative, L-hydroxyproline, and (1S)-(+)-10-camphorsulfonyl chloride, three capillary columns of chiral covalent organic framework materials were obtained for gas chromatography. Those columns are able to separate some chiral compounds, positional isomers, n-alkanes, n-alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbon mixture, and Grob's reagents. They are complementary to other chiral capillary columns and are possible for potential applications.

Detecting some appropriate target gases through the optimization of material structure is still applicable to some old sensing materials. In this work, we showed that hollow tin oxide (SnO 2 ) nanotubes (NTs) exhibited a remarkable sensing performance for nitric oxide (NO) at 160 °C. The sensing materials were prepared by direct annealing of electrospun precursor nanofibers , and hollow NTs can be obtained at an appropriate heating rate of 6 °C/min. Given the large surface area of hollow SnO 2 NTs, their sensing performance is better than that of solid SnO 2 NTs. The response of hollow SnO 2 NTs is approximately 33.3 upon exposure to 500 ppb of NO at 160 °C. The hollow SnO 2 NTs also exhibit good repeatability, long-term stability, and excellent selectivity . These remarkable sensing properties indicate that conventional SnO 2 still has great practical applications because of the fine design of the material structure and proper control of working conditions.

HKUST-1 nanocrystals (50–80 nm) were homogeneously dispersed in a polyetherimide (PEI) polymer matrix . The use of a capping agent (sodium formate) prevented the agglomeration of HKUST-1 nanocrystals in the casting solution. The highly dispersed HKUST-1 nanocrystals were found to strengthen the interactions with the PEI and minimize the interfacial holes by providing more accessible Cu unsaturated metal sites for the C O bonds on the five-membered rings of the PEI matrix. The PEI membrane loaded with 30 wt % HKUST-1 nanocrystals (30-N-HKUST-1/PEI) showed a high H 2 permeability (193.3 Barrer at 25 °C under 1.5 bar) and good ideal H 2 /CH 4 and H 2 /CO 2 selectivity factor of 101.7 and 20.6 in a single gas test, respectively. In the gas mixture test, it also showed a good separation performance, i.e., a H 2 /CH 4 and H 2 /CO 2 selectivity factor of 82.4 and 16.5 was measured, respectively. The 30-N-HKUST/PEI membrane was tested in a gas mixture at different temperatures (25–100 °C), different pressures (0–3 bar) and various time (5–72 h) to study the performance in more realistic conditions thus to be further considered in the separation of syngas.

Two series of 6FDA-based co-polyimide membranes were synthesized by adding different diamine monomer containing special functional groups: APAF (containing OH) and DABA (containing -COOH). The ODA/APAF and ODA/DABA series were heat treated at 450 °C and 350 °C, respectively. Thermal rearrangement of polymer chain segments is confirmed in ODA/APAF membranes by infrared spectroscopy, while addition of DABA in ODA/DABA membranes causes decarboxylation crosslinking. Positron lifetime measurements reveal existence of ultramicropores in polyimides. The thermal rearrangement in ODA/APAF membranes induces remarkable increase in both size and number of ultramicropores and therefore increase in fractional free volume (FFV), but the crosslinking in ODA/DABA causes significant decrease in both size and number of ultramicropores. The increase in FFV is favorable for gas permeation, but too large size of the micropore drastically deteriorates the gas selectivity. Finally, the ODA/APAF(3:7) shows a high CO 2 permeability of 127.4 Barrer with CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 34.2, which surpasses the 1991 Robeson upper bound. Besides, the ODA/DABA(3:7) exhibits a H 2 permeability of 22.6 Barrer with H 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 256.8, which also exceeds the 1991 Robeson upper bound. Our results indicate that the gas permeability and selectivity of polymer membranes can be effectively adjusted by tailoring the ultramicropore structures, and positron can provide precise information about micropores.

This paper reports two new series of benzimidazole functionalized polyimides and ionic polyimides for highly selective membranes with great potential for natural gas sweetening. It has been demonstrated that both the –NH groups in the benzimidazole moieties and the corresponding ionic groups after N -quaternization tighten the microporous structure and restrict polymer chain mobility through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction. The BET surface areas and d -spacing values decrease with benzimidazole molar content or the degree of ionization. Consequently, a linear correlation between CO 2 permeability coefficients with benzimidazole molar content or degree of ionization was observed due to the decrease of CO 2 diffusivity, and the monotonic increase of CO 2 /CH 4 selectivities is ascribed to the increase of both diffusivity selectivity and solubility selectivity. The benzimidazole-based copolyimide and the ionic copolyimide membranes exhibited high CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity under high-pressure mixed-gas conditions. In particular, the copolyimide PI-0.75 membrane displayed a mixed-gas CO 2 permeability of 27 Barrer and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 47 at 20 bar total pressure. The performance was much higher than those of the state-of-the-art commercial cellulose triacetate membranes for natural gas upgrading. The facile polymer synthesis and microporosity tunability, as well as the excellent mixed-gas separation performance, render the copolyimide membranes in this study promising towards economic membrane-mediated natural gas upgrading.

Hierarchical Beta (BEA-H) with intra-crystalline mesoporosity was synthesized by employing a designed template of N(CH 3 ) 2 -C 6 H 12 -N + (CH 3 ) 2 -CH 2 -(p-C 6 H 4 )-CH 2 -N + (CH 3 ) 2 -C 6 H 12 -N(CH 3 ) 2 [Cl-] 2 . Characterization results indicate that BEA-H was crystallized from the outer surface of quasi-spherical particle to the inner part. When it was used as a catalyst for the gas-phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime to ε-caprolactam, BEA-H exhibited a 2.3-fold longer lifetime in comparison to conventional Beta zeolite (BEA-C). The superior catalytic performance of BEA-H is attributed to its hierarchical pore structure and suitable acidity.

Catalytic oxidation of CH 4 has been proved to be an attractive option for landfill gas (LFG) upgrading. However, coking of catalysts in catalytic LFG deoxygen has been clearly observed in industrial applications. In this regard, it is necessary to investigate whether coke deposition originates from CH 4 or volatile organic compounds present in LFG, and the influence of coke deposition on catalytic performance. Herein, we evaluate the LFG deoxygen on Pt/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst in simulated LFG (CH 4 , CO 2 , O 2 , N 2 ) and its co-feed with representative volatile organic compounds, ethylbenzene , toluene, benzene and cyclohexane . The results show that the coking of the catalyst is originated from volatile organic compounds rather than CH 4 . The Pt/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst does not deactivate during LFG deoxygen process, even significant amount of coke deposited, up to 18.15% (mass). Characterization analyses reveal that although coke deposition overall covers the catalyst surface, resulting in mesopores blockage and a reduced number of accessible Pt sites, however, the coke formed, H-rich carbonaceous components, behaves as counterpart for O 2 elimination. Besides, the coke deposited is mainly filamentous. Thus, coke formation has little negative effect on the overall catalytic performance of Pt/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst ultimately. The results obtained in this work are helpful for the rational design of robust Pt based catalysts for LFG deoxygen without undue attention to their coking properties, and also favor the innovation of more attractive purification scheme configurations.

Fluorescent conjugated polymers are widely investigated for their excellent performance in detecting explosives. In this work, two simple monomers are used to synthesize two novel fluorescent conjugated polymers, 3 and 6 , with different conjugated structures via the linkages of “single bond” and “alkyne bond” by coupling reaction, and the fluorescence sensing performance for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is verified in both liquid and gas phases, aiming to demonstrate the influence of two different linkages on the fluorescence sensing properties. The fluorescent intensities of conjugated polymers in organic solvents gradually increase with increasing concentration within the low concentration range, while too high concentration leads to a decrease in the emission intensity because of the concentration quenching effect. The liquid-phase limit of detection of 3 and 6 for TNT is as low as 1.9 and 1.6 µ m in acetonitrile, respectively. The change rule of UV–vis absorption indicates that the static quenching model of TNT is predominant in liquid phase. Using a commercial portable explosives detector, 3 and 6 can effectively achieve the selective detection of gas-phase TNT above 15 ng within 7 s and 8 ng within 5 s, respectively, demonstrating the great potential for rapid on-site detection of trace explosives.
