A sodium-ion conducting poly(vinyl alcohol)-based gel polymer electrolyte membrane is developed by plasticizing with an ionic liquid , for the fabrication of electric double-layer capacitors. Sodium triflate is selected as the sodium salt. 1-Ethyl-3 methylimidazoliumtrifluoromethanesulfonate is employed as the plasticizer . The properties of the electrolyte membranes are analyzed in terms of their crystallinity , morphology, thermal stability, electrochemical stability window, ionic transference number, and ionic conductivity . The composition with poly(vinyl alcohol) - 30% sodium triflate + 10% 1-ethyl-3 methylimidazoliumtrifluoromethanesulfonate shows the optimal performances such as good thermal stability up to 150 °C and wide electrochemical stability window of 4.70 V. It is thus employed in the fabrication of electric double-layer capacitors, serving as both ion-conducting electrolyte and separator. The capacitor shows almost 100% coulombic efficiency and stable charge-discharge cyclic property with almost 100% capacity retention after 1000 cycles, when charging up to 1.6 V and 2.0 V with a specific capacitance of 103.7 and 127.8 F g −1 , respectively. It compares well with that made of a liquid electrolyte . This excellent performance is attributed to the sodium triflate with large-sized anions and thus high ionic conductivity (3.8 × 10 −3 S cm −1 ) of the electrolyte membrane.

Rechargeable Na-O 2 batteries have attracted significant attention as energy storage devices owing to their theoretically high energy storage capacity and the natural abundance of sodium. However, practical applications of this type of battery still suffer from low specific capability, poor cycle stability, instable electrolytes, and unstable polymer binders. Herein, we report a facile method of synthesizing binder free and flexible cathodes with Co 3 O 4 nanowire arrays vertically grown onto carbon textiles. When employed as a cathode for Na-O 2 batteries, this cathode exhibits superior performance, including a reduction of charge overpotential, high specific capacity (4687 mAh/g), and cycle stability up to 62 cycles. These enhanced performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of the porosity and catalytic activity of the Co 3 O 4 nanowire catalyst.

A new kind of nanocomposite (NC) hydrogel with Na-montmorillonite (MMT) is presented in this article. The NC hydrogels were synthesized by free radical copolymerization of acrylamide and (3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (ATC) in the presence of MMT and N,N ′-methylene-bis-acrylamide used as chemical cross-linker. Due to the cation-exchange reaction between MMT and ATC (cationic monomer) during the synthesis of NC hydrogels, MMT platelets were considered chemical “plane” cross-linkers, different from “point” cross-linkers. With increasing amount of MMT, the crosslinking degree enhanced, causing a decrease of the swelling degree at equilibrium. Investigations of mechanical properties indicated that NC hydrogels exhibited enhanced strength and toughness, which resulted from chemical interaction between exfoliated MMT platelets and polymer chains in hydrogels. Dynamic shear measurements showed that both storage modulus and loss modulus increased with increasing MMT content. The idea described here provided a new route to prepare hydrogels with high mechanical properties by using alternative natural Na-MMT. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

Birefringent materials are of great important as opto-electronic functional devices in solid laser system. Investigations on the design of new birefringent materials with large birefringence is meaningful. In this study, structure-birefringence relationship between AgGaS 2 (AGS) and NaGaS 2 (NGS) was systematically investigated. In the structures, the high ionic Na + cations broke the three dimensional (3D) [GaS] network to 2D layers, which results in the regular packing of GaS 4 tetrahedra and further the birefringence (~0.09, nearly twice that of AGS at ~1064 nm). Meanwhile, the blue-shift of the UV cutoff edge to 307 nm and a wide band gap of 3.9 eV has been observed in NGS. The property characterizations were carried out using the as-grown NGS single crystal with a size of 4 × 4 × 0.3 mm 3 by high temperature flux method. The results indicate that NGS may be a promising IR birefringent material and the cation substitution-oriented design strategy could be used to regulate the structure and optical properties of materials.

ABSTRACT Sodium dehydroacetate ( DHA-Na ) is a fungicidal preservative widely used in food and animal feed. DHA-Na can induce coagulation disorders in rats and poultry by inhibiting carboxylation of vitamin K-dependent proteins; it can also impair bone development in zebrafish. However, the effects of DHA-Na on broiler chicken bones remain unknown. Here, we assessed whether DHA-Na impairs bone development in broiler chickens. We administered Suji yellow chickens with 200 to 800 mg/kg DHA-Na, 2 mg/kg vitamin K, or both for 2 mo. Bone metabolite–related serum indicators, tissue micromorphology, and relevant protein expression were monitored during the treatment period. We also assessed primary chicken osteoblast activity, differentiation, and bone metabolite–related proteins after treatment with DHA-Na, vitamin K, or both. The results demonstrated that DHA-Na reduced bone index values and serum and bone osteoblast differentiation marker levels but blocked bone vitamin K cycle. DHA-Na also increased serum osteoclast differentiation marker levels, as well as the bone ratio of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand to osteoprotegerin ratio. Moreover, DHA-Na reduced bone trabecular number, thickness, and area and increased trabecular separation considerably. In general, compared with the control group, the DHA-Na group demonstrated impairments in osteoblast activity and differentiation, as well as in the vitamin K cycle. By contrast, vitamin K supplementation led to considerable attenuation of the DHA-Na-induced decrease in osteogenic marker levels, along with a considerable increase in serum bone absorption marker levels and restoration of DHA-Na-induced bone microstructure damage. Vitamin K also attenuated DHA-Na-induced impairment in osteoclasts. In conclusion, the results indicated that in broiler chickens, DHA-Na supplementation can damage bones by inhibiting osteoblast function and increasing osteoclast activity; this damage can be prevented through vitamin K supplementation.

Mixed matrix composite membranes (MMCMs) have shown advantages in reducing VOCs and CO 2 emissions. Suitable composite layer, substrate, and good compatibility between the filler and the matrix in the composite layer are critical issues in designing MMCMs. This work develops a high-performance UiO-66-NA@PDMS/MCE for VOCs adsorption and CO 2 permea-selectivity, based on a simple and facile fabrication of composite layer using amidation-reaction approach on the substrate. The composite layer shows a continuous morphological appearance without interface voids. This outstanding compatibility interaction between UiO-66-NH 2 and PDMS is confirmed by molecular simulations. The Si─O functional group and UiO-66-NH 2 in the layer leads to improved VOCs adsorption via active sites, skeleton interaction, electrostatic interaction, and van der Waals force. The layer and ─CONH─ also facilitate CO 2 transport. The MMCMs show strong four VOCs adsorption and high CO 2 permeance of 276.5 GPU with a selectivity of 36.2. The existence of VOCs in UiO-66-NA@PDMS/MCE increases the polarity and fine-tunes the pore size of UiO-66-NH 2 , improving the affinity towards CO 2 and thus promoting the permea-selectivity for CO 2 , which is further verified by GCMC and EMD methods. This work is expected to offer a facile composite layer manufacturing method for MMCMs with high VOC adsorption and CO 2 permea-selectivity.

Recent experimental and theoretical studies on the family of Li-rich layered materials show that they can deliver much higher capacities than traditional Li-transitional metal oxides. This also leads to great interests in Na-rich layered oxides as alternative positive electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage. Herein, we report a Na-rich material, Na2SeO3 with an unconventional layered structure as a positive electrode material in NIBs for the first time. This material can deliver a discharge capacity of 232 mAh g−1 after activation, one of the highest capacities from sodium-based positive electrode materials. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates the oxidation state of selenium remains unchanged during the charge process. Theoretical simulation shows that after removal of Na, spin is situated around oxygen atoms near the Na vacancy, and the projected density of state of oxygen electron is close to the Fermi level. These suggest the involvement of oxygen during charge-discharge. This work will propel new searches of high-capacity sodium-based positive electrode materials.

As a significant branch of cathodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), the O3-type layered oxide usually receives extensive attention due to its high theoretical capacity. Due to the high tetrahedral site energy of Na+ diffusion transition state, the kinetics of the charge and discharge processes is sluggish. When the concentration of Na+ decreases, the transition metal layers undergo relative slip, leading to layer structure rearrangement and interface degradation, which result in a decrease in performance. In this work, we propose a strategy to optimize the above problem by varying the sodium content to prepare biphasic cathode materials. The prepared Na0.85Fe0.22Ni0.33Mn0.45O2 cathode has an O3/P2 biphasic structure. It shows excellent electrochemical performance, with an initial discharge specific capacity of 121.3 mAh g–1 at 0.1 C and a capacity retention rate of 94.9% after 100 cycles at 0.2 C. A small amount of P2 is introduced into the phase structure of the O3 to improve the diffusion kinetics and enhance the cycling stability. Due to the cooperative effect of O3/P2, the phase transition of O3/P2–O3/P3/P2 occurs in the electrochemical process, and the complex phase transition of O3–O’3 is inhibited. This study provides an idea for the preparation of high-performance cathode materials.

Room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) provides a longer and tunable afterglow time compared to conventional fluorescence, enabling complex information encryption effects. However, traditional RTP materials have a short afterglow, and acquiring the requisite raw materials is challenging. In this study, RTP carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized using a multifaceted method, achieving an extended lifetime of 743.55 ms. The afterglow duration of 23.5 s under 254 nm excitation. Additionally, the afterglow intensity was enhanced through Na doping. Notably, the B2O3 matrix confine the vibration and rotation of the CDs chromophores. Mechanisms such as hydrogen bonding and covalent bonding collectively mitigate nonradiative decay of the triplet exciton. Furthermore, the potential application of these materials in information encryption is demonstrated. This investigation serves as a valuable reference for enhancing the afterglow properties and applications of RTP-CDs.

The sodium-conductive ceramic Na-β-Al 2 O 3 serves as an indispensable solid electrolyte material in Na-S battery systems, primarily owing to its exceptional ionic transport properties for Na + ions coupled with remarkable resistance to thermal degradation. However, its limited conductivity at low temperatures restricts practical applications, necessitating strategies to enhance performance. In this paper, a series multicomponent-doped Na 2 Al 10−5 x (Li 2 x Mg x Zn x Ni x )O 16−3.5 x ( x ≤ 0.4) was synthesized through solid-state reaction method, with their phases, microstructures, and electrical properties being thoroughly studied. The results revealed that the highest ionic conductivity (1.2 × 10 −2 S/cm at 300°C) was achieved for the sample x = 0.1, which is five times higher than that of the parent material, significantly exceeding the undoped sample (2.38 × 10 −3 S/cm at 300°C). In addition, the sodium ion migration pathways in Na-β-Al 2 O 3 -based materials were investigated by the bond-valence-based method.

N2O/CO2 separation in the tail gas of adipic acid presents a significant challenge due to the closely resembling physical characteristics exhibited by CO2 and N2O. Herein, adsorption and separation performances of CO2 and N2O on FAU-type zeolite Y with different cations (Na+ and Ag+) were studied comprehensively. After Ag+ exchange, zeolite Y changes from a CO2-selective adsorbent to a N2O-selective adsorbent. AgY shows high N2O uptake (95.7 cm3/g) but relatively low adsorption heat (23.1 kJ/mol), making it suitable for N2O/CO2 separation. In situ Fourier transform infrared spectrometry indicates that N2O is successfully adsorbed on AgY. The breakthrough experiment reveals that AgY exhibits superior performance in the separation of N2O/CO2 at a flow rate of 20 mL/min while also exhibiting a favorable retention time and ratio of retention time with CO2 breakthrough time, which can reach up to 4.1 min and 0.24, respectively, which makes it an optimum N2O/CO2 separation material reported so far.
