As an important component of the lithium ion batteries, the separator has attracted much attention by researchers. In this paper, a polymer electrolyte separator based on the blended polymer of polyvinylidene fluoride and cellulose acetate was obtained via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS), meanwhile, the Al(OH) 3 particles was used as the addition doping into the blended polymer matrix. The structure, for example, pore size, porosity and the crystallization of the resulting separators were characterized. The thermal stability, ionic conductivity and electrochemical performance were also investigated. The results indicated that the PVDF-CA/Al(OH) 3 separator presented high porosity (68.6%), high electrolyte uptake (403.9%), especially superior thermal stability (thermal shrinkage ratio was 4.6% at 160 °C) and excellent ionic conductivity (2.85 mS cm −1 ). In addition, the rate capability (128.28 mA h g −1 at 8 C) and cycle performance (151.97 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles at 1 C) were also superior to those of the commercial polypropylene separator, demonstrating that the PVDF-CA/Al(OH) 3 separator can be a promising separator for the high-safety and high-rate dischargeable lithium ion battery.

Li 2 Mg 3 Ti 1-X (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) X O 6 (0 ≤x ≤ 0.25) ceramics were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction process. Their crystal structures, sintering characteristics, Raman spectra and microwave dielectric properties were then investigated. XRD patterns of the sintered samples indicated that all compositions showed a single phase and the rock-salt structure. As the (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) 4+ contents increase, the variations of ε r values showed a downward trend, which could be explained by the changes of polarizabilities and the shift of Raman vibration modes. Q·f values initially increased to a maximum value and then decreased with increasing of x values. In addition, τ f values decreased almost linearly with the x values, which significantly correlated with the thermal expansion coefficient. Excellent combined microwave dielectric properties with ε r = 14.79, Q·f = 204,900 GHz and τ f = −18.43 ppm/°C were obtained for Li 2 Mg 3 Ti .95 (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) .05 O 6 ceramic sintered at 1550 °C.

ABSTRACT In this study, La(OH) 3 -loaded Juncus effusus (La-JE) with a three-dimensional structure was prepared via an in-situ precipitation and then wrapped in a cellulose membrane. The La-JE not only avoided the leakage of La(OH) 3 but also was separated from solution easily. The optimal pH for phosphate removal by the La-JE was 6. The removal rate of phosphate was positively correlated with adsorption time, La-JE dosage and reaction temperature, and negatively correlated with phosphate concentration. The adsorption process conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetic model and was better fit by Freundlich model. At 25°C, the maximum adsorption capacity of the La-JE was 22.75 mg·P/g. The influence of SO 4 2– , Cl – , NO 3 – , NH 4 + , HCO 3 – and CO 3 2– on phosphate removal was negligible, suggesting that the La-JE had good anti-interference ability. Mechanism analysis showed that the removal process of phosphate was related to both ligand exchange and surface precipitation. The application in real water environment exhibited that the La-JE had good potential for advanced dephosphorization of sewage treatment plant and natural waterbody remediation.

In this study, a novel dual-mode luminescence phosphor KBaLu(MoO4)3:Tb3+,Yb3+ has been synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reactions, and the crystal structures have been determined for the first time. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data reveal that its space groups are C2/c. The crystalline structure is constituted by K/BaO8 distorted square antiprisms, distorted LuO8 polyhedra and two kinds of distorted MoO4 tetrahedra, which form chains lying along the c-axis. Spectroscopic properties and energy transfer mechanisms are investigated by detailed analyses of emission and excitation spectra and excited-state lifetimes. The KBaLu(MoO4)3:Tb3+,Yb3+ phosphor shows dominant green emissions in the visible region, which are due to 5D4 → 7F5 transition of Tb3+ under excitation light in ultraviolet region as well as a 980 nm laser, and the CIE coordinates are close to the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) standard values for primary green (0.310, 0.595). With the increasing temperature, the luminescence of KBaLu(MoO4)3:Tb3+,Yb3+ phosphor decreases almost linearly with the CIE coordinate variation from (0.326, 0.616) to (0.327, 0.530), which results in photoluminescence color variation from primary green to yellowish-green. The present results demonstrate the successful synthesis of a dual-mode luminescence material KBaLu(MoO4)3:Tb3+,Yb3+ phosphor with both up- and down-conversion luminescence properties; moreover, it can be used as a potential spectrum converter in display lighting and anti-counterfeiting.

This study explores the synergistic effect of T-CUS 245C combined with cyclosporin A, and its possible mechanism. T-CUS 245C is an immunotoxin conjugated with tastuzumab and recombinant cucurmosin 245C (CUS 245C ). Cyclosporin A is a calcium antagonist mainly used as an immune-suppressive agent, which enhances the cytotoxicity of immunotoxins through an unknown mechanism. The sulforhodamine B assay, flow cytometry, DNA fragmentation apoptosis assay, and western blot analysis were used to evaluate the synergistic effects of cyclosporin A combined with T-CUS 245C on proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cells with HER-2-overexpressing. Meanwhile, using confocal microscopy and flow cytometry, the effect of cyclosporin A on the intracellular distribution of T-CUS 245C was observed and quantified. The results of this study showed that the combination index of cyclosporin A combined with T-CUS 245C is less than 0.7, indicating that cyclosporin A significantly enhances the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction induced by T-CUS 245C in SK-OV-3 cells. The confocal microscopy and flow cytometry results show that cyclosporin A effectively increases the dispersion of T-CUS 245C in the cytoplasm by promoting the endolysosomal escape. This study demonstrates that cyclosporin A combined with T-CUS 245C has a synergistic anticancer effect, by facilitating the release of T-CUS 245C in the intracellular space. Graphical Abstract

Tissue degeneration due to diseases, accidents, and wars is a worldwide issue. One of the methods used by regenerative medicine (RM) to aid tissue repair is by using a biodegradable tissue engineering scaffold (TES). Different body tissues have variable regeneration abilities, and hence, they require TES with variable degradation rates. This paper focuses on synthesising four polyurethane foam scaffolds (PUFS) with variable degradation rates based on the concentration of incorporated chain extender (CE) poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (P3HB). The polyol employed is poly (propylene fumarate) (PPF) along with aliphatic 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). GPC provided the molecular weight (M n = 455.67 g mol −1 , M w = 587.15 g mol −1 ) and PDI (1.29) of the PPF. FTIR and 1 H and 13 C NMR confirmed the proposed structures (C C, COOR, and NHCOO) of the PUFS. The FESEM images revealed a bimodal pore structure , with random, irregular, interconnected pores (242–340 µm) and discrete void spaces (735–860 µm). The size of PUFS pores and void spaces (PU4 > PU3 > PU2 > PU1) is directly proportional to their respective degradation rates. The TGA/DTA curves show a decrease of an onset thermal decomposition temperature from PU1 to PU4 (267.17 ºC PU1, 267.28 ºC PU2, 256.01 ºC PU3 and 240.72 ºC PU4) due to the respective increase in CE concentration. The results of in-vitro degradation analysis at day 70, revealed significant difference between the weight loss (%) of each group (PU1 = 4.09 ± 0.18%, PU2 = 8.03 ± 0.17%, PU3 = 13.14 ± 0.12% and PU4 = 20.21 ± 0.19%). Thus, PUFS with a higher concentration of P3HB have a faster degradation rate due to the associated P3HB hydrolysable ester/-COOR functional group within the PUFS backbone. The chemical structure , bimodal morphology, and variable degradation rate of these PUFS could be employed for various RM applications.

Red-light-emitting materials, as pivotal components of warm white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), have drawn increasing public focus. Among these, Mn4+-doped red light-emitting fluorides have drawn considerable attention when combined with an InGaN chip; however, they suffer from poor water stability under humid conditions. In this work, a novel fluoride red phosphor, Cs30(Nb2O2F9)9(OH)3·H2O:xMn4+ (CNOFM), with good water resistance was synthesized for the first time using a facile co-precipitation method at ambient temperature. Experiments were implemented for the precise analysis of its crystal structure, optical properties, micro-morphology, thermal behavior, and waterproof properties. 6.66% Mn4+-doped CNOFM maintained a stable crystal structure and possessed strong PL intensity located at 633 nm with high color purity of 96%. CNOFM showed better thermal and waterproof stability compared with the commercial K2SiF6:Mn4+ red phosphor. Without any surface modifications, the PL intensity remained at about 83% of the initial value after immersion in water for 60 min, and the mechanism was investigated. Finally, a warm WLED with a CRI of 92.3 and CCT of 3271 K was fabricated using the CNOFM red phosphor.

Spinel lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) based Li-ion battery (LIB) is attractive for hybrid/full electric vehicles because of its abundant resources and easy preparation. However, operation under an elevated temperature could cause severe capacity fading of the spinel cathodes. In this work, 1, 3-propane sultone (PS) is investigated as an electrolyte additive for improving the cyclability of the LiMn2O4/graphite LIB at elevated temperature. The charge and discharge measurement proves that PS can significantly enhance the cyclability of 053048-type LiMn2O4/graphite pouch cell at 60°C. Compared to the cell without additive, the capacity retention of the cell using electrolyte with 5% PS increases from 52 to 71% after 180 cycles. The improved cyclability is attributable to the modification of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on both positive and negative sides of the LiMn2O4/graphite cell by PS, which effectively prevents anode and cathode from structural breakdown and inhibits the electrolyte decomposition.

Li 4 Mg 3 [Ti 0 · 6 (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) 0.4 ] 2 O 9 (LMT 0.6 (MN) 0.4 O) ceramics doped with 1–5 wt% lithium fluoride (LiF) were prepared through a conventional solid-state reaction at a relatively low sintering temperature . The influences of the LiF additive on the micromorphology, crystal phase composition, and sintering behavior, as well as the microwave dielectric properties of the LMT 0.6 (MN) 0.4 O ceramics were explored in depth. The addition of the LiF sintering additive reduced the densification temperature of the LMT 0.6 (MN) 0.4 O ceramics from 1450 °C–950 °C. X-ray powder diffractometer patterns indicated that a single phase formed for all experimental samples. Scanning electron microscopy photographs revealed that dense and homogeneous microstructures were obtained at 950 °C for the LMT 0.6 (MN) 0.4 O ceramics with 3–5 wt% LiF. Additionally, the optimized microwave dielectric properties, including ε r = 16.24, Q·f = 107,828 GHz (at 8.13 GHz), and τ f = −6.25 ppm/°C were achieved in the prepared LMT 0.6 (MN) 0.4 O ceramics with 4 wt% LiF at the sintering temperature of 950 °C. Furthermore, the excellent chemical compatibility between this component and silver were confirmed based on the results of XRD and EDS analyses, suggesting that the LMT 0.6 (MN) 0.4 O ceramics with 4 wt% LiF could be a suitable material for the application of low temperature co-fired ceramics.

Embedding CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskites QDs in inorganic glass matrix via in-situ crystallization has been regarded as a feasible strategy to improve their stability against water, heat, and light irradiation. However, the tunable-emission range of these CsPbX3-nanocrystals-embedded glasses is still narrow, insufficient to cover a wide color gamut. Herein, a simple synthetic method was developed in this study to obtain the tunable-emission CsPb(Cl/Br)3 quantum dots (QDs) in boro-germanate glass (CsPb(Cl/Br)3 QDs@glass) by controlling the molar ratio of PbBr2/PbCl2. With the increase of the PbBr2 concentration from 1.6 to 3.2 mol%, the emission wavelength of CsPb(Cl/Br)3 QDs@glasses can be shifted from 448 to 485 nm, and the corresponding photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) increases from 0.61 to 24.43%. In addition, the CsPb(Cl/Br)3 QDs@glass exhibits impressing promotion of thermal stability, photostability, and water resistance due to the excellent protective function of the glass matrix. As a proof-of-concept experiment, a LED device was fabricated by employing the optimal CsPb(Cl/Br)3 QDs@glass with a commercial 375 nm UV chip, yielding an intense cyan light. All the results indicate that the investigated CsPb(Cl/Br)3 QDs@glasses may find promising applications as color convertors in wide-color-gamut liquid crystal displays (LCDs).

New strategies for silica coating of inorganic nanoparticles became a research hotspot for enhancing the mechanical stability of colloidal particles and protecting colloidal particles against oxidation and agglomeration, and so on. In this paper, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)-functionalized Mn doped (AF MnD) ZnS QDs was prepared to be firsyly through the use of silane coupling agents to form an active layer of silica, then sol–gel reaction of TEOS co-deposited with APTES on the surface of resultant active layer of silica. The emitted long lifetime room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of the resultant nanomaterials allows an appropriate delay time so that any fluorescent emission and scattering light can be easily avoided. The APTES anchored on the layer of silica can bind 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) species to form TNT anion through acid–base pairing interaction, the TNT anion species may increase the charge-transfer pathways from the nanocrystals to nitroaromatic analytes, therefore further enhance the quenching efficiency of RTP. Moreover, APTES as capped reagents can enlarge the spectral sensitivity and enhance RTP response of nanocrystals to the electron-deficient nitroaromatic and nitrophenol species. Meanwhile, AF MnD ZnS QDs also exhibited a highly selective response toward TNT analyte through significant color change and quenching of 4 T 1 to 6 A 1 transition emission. This AF MnD ZnS QDs based sensor showed a very good linearity in the range of 0.05–1.8 μM with detection limit down to 50 nM (quenching percentage of phosphorescence intensity of 8%) and RSD of 3.5% ( n = 5). The reported QDs-based chemosensors here open up a promising prospect for the sensitive and convenient sensing of TNT explosive.

Poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) is an aliphatic polycarbonate synthesized from carbon dioxide and propylene oxide. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a type of thermoplastic polyester produced by biological fermentation. The blending of PHB with PPC can effectively enhance the mechanical properties and barrier properties of PPC. Bionanocomposites of PPC/PHB enhanced by cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) are prepared via a two-step process using polyethylene glycol as a carrier. Results show that the oxygen barrier properties of the composites increased with the increase of the CNC content. When the CNC content is 1 wt%, the oxygen barrier performance increases nearly 18 times. The assumed model can predict the barrier performance of composites with the combined influence of morphology and CNC distribution. This will make PPC/PHB/CNC nanocomposites a very promising degradable material for food packaging application.
