As an advanced anode material for lithium-ion batteries, tin-chalcogenides receive substantial attention due to their high lithium-ion storage capacity. Here, tin chalcogenide (SnSe 0.5 S 0.5 ) nanoplates are synthesized using a facile and quick polyol-method, followed by heating at different temperatures. Results show that the as-prepared of SnSe 0.5 S 0.5 heated at temperature of 180 °C exhibits the best electrochemical performance with an outstanding discharge specific capacity of 1144 mA h g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 after 100 cycles and 682 mA h g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 after 200 cycles with a high coulombic efficiency (CE) of 98.7%. Even at a high current density of 5 A g −1 , this anode material delivers a specific capacity of 473 mA h g −1 . The high electrochemical performance of SnSe 0.5 S 0.5 is shown by in-situ XRD analysis to originate from an enhanced Li + intercalation and an alloy conversion process.

In this paper, a receptor-mediated liposomal drug delivery system (DDS) was developed aiming to deliver cisplatin (cis-diaminedichloroplatinum(II); CDDP) targeting the liver. Acetyl glycyrrhetinic acid (AGA) was chosen as the hepatic targeting ligand and acetyl glycyrrhetinic acid-poly(ethylene glycol)-stearate (AGA-PEG-ST) was synthesized. Anionic 5-cholestene-3-beta-ol-3-hemisuccinate (CHO-HS) was also synthesized. The liposomal CDDPs were prepared by employing these functional moieties with phosphatidylcholine (PC) at various ratios. Meanwhile, methoxypolyethylene glycol-stearate (MPEG-ST) with an analogous structure but without AGA was also prepared as a control. The particle sizes of AGA modified liposomes ranged from 120 nm to 180 nm and the zeta potentials were located between −39.7 mV and −3.18 mV. The liposomes had encapsulation percentages of 51.5–61.7% and a loading capacity of 23.2–26.7% for CDDP. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations showed that the liposomes had spherical morphologies with homogeneous distribution. In vitro cytotoxicity of CDDP-loaded liposomes against HepG2 human liver cancer cells and A549 human lung epithelial carcinoma cells were evaluated by MTT assays. The results demonstrated that the introduction of AGA could enhance the cytotoxicity of liposomal CDDP against HepG2 cells but showed less significant impact on A549 cells. CLSM observation and FCM measurement further confirmed that AGA modified liposomes had a stronger affinity to HepG2 cells than that of liposomes without AGA. The tissue distribution of calcein in mice indicated that AGA modified liposomes resulted in higher accumulation in the liver than that of liposomes without the AGA ligand. These results demonstrated the promise of AGA decorated anionic liposomes for hepatic targeted delivery of cisplatin.

The effect of ethylene glycol bis(propionitrile) ether(DENE) as a novel electrolyte additive on the electrochemical performance of a graphite anode was studied in this paper. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), charge/discharge tests, cyclic voltammetry(CV), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) were used to investigate the SEI film and the cycle performance of graphite anode. The initial charge capacities of the graphite electrode in the electrolytes without and with 1% DENE were 319 mAhg −1 and 349 mAhg −1 , respectively. After 60 cycles, the charge capacities without and with 1% DENE were 315 mAhg -1 and 350 mAhg -1 , respectively. and the capacity retention rates were 95.8% and 98.1%, respectively. DENE promoted the formation of a thin and uniform SEI layer and improved the stability of the electrode. The addition of DENE effectively improved the electrochemical performance of graphite anodes.

We report evaporation of ethanol/water mixture droplets on both pillar-arrayed and micro-holed polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces. Analysis of wettability shows that (i) when the pillar-to-pillar spacing is 5 μm, the pillar-arrayed PDMS surfaces are Cassie-Baxter-wetted; (ii) when the pillar-to-pillar spacing is 20 or 50 μm, part of each pillar-arrayed surface is Cassie-Baxter-wetted while the other part Wenzel-wetted; (iii) all micro-holed PDMS surfaces are Cassie-Baxter-wetted; (iv) the advancing and receding contact angles increase with the increase of the pillar-to-pillar spacing, while they decrease with the increase of the hole-to-hole spacing. The investigation on evaporation of mixture droplets demonstrates that (i) evaporation on pillar-arrayed PDMS first proceeds with constant contact radius mode (CCR) due to the strong adhesion between the surface and the droplet; (ii) on micro-holed surfaces CCR stage is also observed for the surface with the hole-to-hole spacing of 5 μm, while it is not found at high ethanol concentration for surfaces with the hole-to-hole spacings of 20 μm and 50 μm, which is attributed to the weak adhesion between the micro-holed surfaces and the droplet. Finally, the evolution of droplet volume and its two-third power are discussed.

Families of bio-based hyperbranched epoxy (HBPEEs) were successfully prepared using renewable xylitol, bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin as feedstocks. The structure and physical performances of HBPEEs were characterized by FTIR, NMR, GPC and viscosity evaluation. Then, they were used as high efficient tougheners for diglycidyl of bisphenol A/diethylenetriamine (DGEBA/DETA) networks. The results indicated that the incorporation of HBPEEs into the DGEBA system can significantly enhance the mechanical properties and solvent resistance properties of the hybrid (HBPEEs/DGEBA). In particular, toughened hybrids with 15 wt% HBPEE-2 exhibited the outstanding impact strength than that of neat DGEBA (37.4 kJ/m 2 vs. 11.8 kJ/m 2 ) due to its excellent compatibility of with DGEBA. Simultaneously, the ductile fracture morphology of the modified hybrids was also confirmed by SEM. In addition, the activation energies of HBPEE-2/DGEBA hybrids calculated from the non-isothermal curing kinetics were lower than that of neat DGEBA. All of the results suggested that the bio-based HBPEEs could be used as efficient tougheners applied in epoxy resins industry.

Monolayer WS 2 (1L-WS 2 ) possesses direct band gap, which is beneficial for light emitting applications. However, high quality sample obtained via mechanical exfoliation suffers from ultralow yield of large flakes while large 2D material monolayers synthesized by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) unintentionally induce many defects, resulting in low photoluminescence (PL) intensity. Herein, we firstly control the 1L-WS 2 scalable growth through H 2 introduction at the beginning of the CVD synthesis. Its domain size can be increased from 1 μm up to 20 μm with higher coverage, compared to that synthesized without H 2 introduction. Then, we propose scalable ways to anneal the obtained large 1L-WS 2 in Ar diluted hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) atmosphere at 750 °C or to treat it with (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPS). Its PL intensity can be increased to 12 times by H 2 S or more interestingly to 30 times by MPS, respectively. Our systematic analyses show that the drastic PL improvements are mainly attributed to the reduction of structural defects by H 2 S and MPS, which is facilitated via the H– bond in them. The results help to explore routes to obtaining large-size single crystalline transition metal dichalcogenides monolayer (1L-TMDCs) and intense PL emission.

Mechanical damage and microbial infestation were critical issues during strawberry transportation. This study prepared a modified polyvinyl formal (PVFM) vibration-damping material and investigated its application in strawberry transportation. This modified PVFM was primarily composed of polyvinyl alcohol, starch, formaldehyde, and allyl isothiocyanate. Our results showed that the modified PVFM had good vibration-damping and antifungal properties with 0.137 g/m 3 of density, a water absorption ratio value of 6.24, 278 Pa of tensile strength, 3.86 Pa of elastic modulus, a buffer coefficient of 0.318, and antifungal rates of 68.8% and 80.6% against Bacillus anthracis and Botrytis cinerea , respectively. Moreover, this modified PVFM could enhance the storage life of strawberry by improving PAL activity from 376 to 3,125 U/g, inhibiting POD activity with a maximum value of 3.1 U/g, and decreasing CAT activity from 324 to 35 U/g. The modified PVFM presented a good vibration-damping capacity and the potential to extend strawberry shelf life. Practical applications Berry fruits were vulnerable to mechanical damage caused by vibration during transportation, resulting in quality deterioration, rot, and aging. In this study, modified polyvinyl formal (PVFM) was prepared and was of low density and displayed good mechanical, vibration-damping, and antifungal properties. The modified PVFM could improve the storage life of strawberry. Thus, the modified PVFM could have potential application in berry fruits transportation.

A series of high comprehensive performance composite phase-change materials (PCMs) were designed and prepared by a physical blending and evaporation method. Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) were introduced as supporting materials to keep the shape of polyethylene glycol (PEG) stable during the phase-change process, and expanded graphite (EG) was used to synergize with the PEG to enhance the infrared thermal stealth performance. The comprehensive performance and structure–property relationships of the composite PCMs were investigated by means of various characterization techniques. The CNF30/PEG69/EG1 composite exhibited the best comprehensive performance: a high PEG melting enthalpy of 144.3 J/g due to a high crystallinity of the PEG, good thermal stability, a shape stabilization effect and superior IR attenuation performance. The EG was proved to be an effective supporting material which contributed to the enhancement of the crystallinity of PEG, and played an important role as a nucleating agent in the crystallization process of the PEG. The synergistic effect of PEG and the small amount of EG gave the composites excellent infrared stealth performance.

Double fluoride 2,5-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (BFO) monomer was synthesized. Copolymerization of BFO, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxypheny)propane (bisphenol A) and 3′3-disulfonate-4′4-dichloro dipheny sulfone (SDCDPS) at different molar ratio resulted in a new poly (aryl ether sulfone) containing 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole polymers (SPAESO). The structures of monomer BFO and copolymer were confirmed by FT-IR and 1 H NMR. The TEM pictures showed that the ion clusters were formed and distributed evenly in SPAESO copolymer matrix. The sulfonated polyoxadiazole membranes exhibited excellent thermal, dimensional and oxidative stability and lower methanol diffusion coefficient. The proton conductivity of SPAESO-3 was 7.5 × 10 −2 Scm −1 at 120 °C while the methanol permeability coefficient of SPAESO-3 was only 2.23 × 10 −7 cm 2 S −1 at 25 °C. According to the comprehensive performance, the sulfonated polyoxadiazole membranes may be the alternative materials as proton exchange membrane for PEMFC at medium-high temperature operation.

Developing a long-term stable electrolyte is one of the most enormous challenges for Li–O2 batteries. Equally, the high flammability of frequently used solvents seriously weakens the electrolyte safety in Li–O2 batteries, which inevitably restricts their commercial applications. Here, a binary mixture of highly concentrated tetraglyme electrolyte (HCG4) and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (TTE) was used for a novel electrolyte (HCG4/TTE) in Li–O2 batteries, which exhibit good wettability, enhanced ionic conductivity, considerable nonflammability, and high electrochemical stability. Being a co-solvent, TTE can contribute to increasing ionic conductivity and to improving flame retardance of the as-prepared electrolyte. The cell with this novel electrolyte displays an enhanced cycling stability, resulting from the high electrochemical stability during cycling and the formation of electrochemically stable interfaces prevents parasitic reactions occurring on the Li anode. These results presented here demonstrate a novel electrolyte with a high electrochemical stability and considerable safety for Li–O2 batteries.

Hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) were prepared by a facile chemical exfoliation method. Then cosolution film casting method was used to obtain poly(butylene adipate) (PBA)/BNNSs nanocomposites. The incorporated BNNSs changed the formation condition of the polymorphic crystals of PBA. The results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) showed that BNNSs significantly facilitated the formation of α-form crystals for isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization. Compared to pure PBA at 28 °C, the α-form crystals would not disappear until the temperature decreased to 13 °C with the addition of 0.5 wt % BNNSs. In addition, the excellent heterogeneous nucleation ability of BNNSs was identified by the nonisothermal and isothermal crystallization process. The enzymatic degradation experiments exhibited that PBA/BNNSs nanocomposites possessed a considerably lower degradation rate than neat PBA. This work demonstrates that BNNSs is an efficient material to regulate the formation of polymorphic crystals and the degradation behavior of PBA.

Tungsten and aluminum were directly incorporated into SBA-15 via one-step synthesis method under an acidic medium. The W- and Al-incorporated SBA-15 was applied as support for Pt nanoparticles to catalyze glycerol hydrogenolysis toward 1,3-propanediol. A combination of the characterization techniques showed that the tungsten and aluminum were incorporated into SBA-15 homogeneously, and the platinum nanoparticles could be uniformly dispersed on the modified-SBA-15. The catalytic performance of Pt-loaded SBA-15 could be significantly improved after the incorporation of tungsten and aluminum into SBA-15, reaching a 1,3-PDO selectivity near 50% when the glycerol conversion was 66%. The glycerol hydrogenolysis reaction proceeds through a dehydration–hydrogenation process, and the enhanced 1,3-PDO selectivity greatly benefited from the synergism between Brønsted acid and Lewis acid sites, which is tightly related with the incorporation of tungsten and aluminum species on the modified SBA-15.
