To confer cellulose fibers antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, chitosan (CS)/lignosulfonates (LS) multilayers were constructed on fibers surfaces through layer-by-layer deposition technique. The formation of CS/LS multilayers on cellulose fibers surfaces was verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and zeta potential measurement. The surface morphologies of CS/LS multilayers on fibers surfaces were observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results showed that characteristic element (i.e. N and S element) content increased with increasing bilayers number, the surface LS content increased linearly as a function of bilayers. Zeta potential of modified fibers was inversed after deposition of each layer. AFM phase images indicated that the cellulose microfibrils on fibers surfaces were gradually covered by granular LS aggregate. The antimicrobial testing results demonstrated that CS/LS multilayers modified fibers with CS in the outermost layer exhibited higher antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli . The antioxidant testing results showed that antioxidant activity of CS/LS multilayers modified fibers was better than that of original fibers under the same oxidation conditions.

Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are considered as one of the most potential candidates in electroluminescence territory owing to their unique quantum confinement effect and excellent thermal stability of the light. Nevertheless, heterogeneous energy domain distribution leads to severe non-radiative recombination in the process of energy transfer, which enormously hinders the performance and application of PeLEDs. Herein, an ambipolar amino acid, 5-aminovaleric acid (5AVA), is demonstrated to be able to coordinate lead and halides simultaneously with its carboxyl and amidogen groups. The coordinated ambipolar molecule not only reconstitutes energy domains of perovskites but also minimizes the interfacial defects of PeLEDs. Accordingly, the presence of 5AVA in perovskite precursors leads to dramatic suppression of the n = 1 and n = 2 phases and accelerates energy transfer from wide bandgap domains to narrow bandgap ones. As a result, maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 19.3% (18.20% ± 1.10%) is achieved in quasi-2D green PeLEDs with current efficiency of 61.7 cd A −1 .

In this paper, LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite as anode for aqueous lithium ion battery has been successfully synthesized by in-situ carbon coating method using oxalic acid and glucose as double carbon sources. XRD results confirm the rhombohedral NASICON-type LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 structure of the as-prepared composite. The LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite using double carbon sources (LTP-OG-10) disperses well, and the coated carbon layer has the appropriate thickness of 3–7 nm, which result in proper balance of the good electrical conductivity and the fast kinetics of diffusion of lithium ions . LTP-OG-10 exhibits better electrochemical performance compared with those using oxalic acid (LTP-O) or glucose (LTP-G) single carbon source. LTP-OG-10 anode delivers the discharge capacity of 112.5 mA h g −1 , 96.8 mA h g −1 , and 54.2 mA h g −1 at 0.2 C, 5 C and 20 C, respectively, much larger than that of LTP-O and LTP-G. Moreover, LTP-OG-10 demonstrated excellent cycling performance, with the capacity retention of 71.1% after 400 cycles at 0.2 C, 22.9% higher than that of LTP-G. The good electrochemical properties of LTP-OG-10 is mainly ascribed to the increase of defects, high-quality and appropriate thickness of carbon layer. Our study reveals that preparing LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite using double carbon sources is an efficient approach to enhance its electrochemical properties.

Surface modification of nanomaterials with polymers is an effective route to render new functions and improve the performance of the final nanocomposites. Here, a facile method was developed to fabricate polyacrylic acid (PAA)-grafted monodisperse SiO 2 nanoparticles (SiO 2 -PDA-PAA) through a combination of mussel inspired chemistry and Michael addition reaction. To obtain the products, the SiO 2 nanoparticles were first coated with polydopamine (PDA) through self-polymerization of dopamine under rather mild conditions. The PDA thin films can then be further conjugated with amino-terminated PAA, which was synthesized by chain transfer free radical polymerization using cysteamine hydrochloride as a chain transfer agent and acrylic acid as a monomer. The SiO 2 -PDA-PAA nanocomposites were characterized via transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The effects of contact time, solution pH, temperature and methylene blue (MB) concentration on the removal of MB were investigated. The results demonstrated that SiO 2 -PDA-PAA showed significant improvement in adsorption efficiency towards MB. The kinetics and isotherm studies showed that pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models were well fitted the experimental data. The values of thermodynamics parameters such as entropy change ( ΔS 0 ), enthalpy change ( ΔH 0 ) and Gibbs free energy ( ΔG 0 ) were calculated based on the Van’t Hoff equation. The negative values of thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption of MB was a feasible, spontaneous and exothermic process. In summary, we developed a facile method to fabricate SiO 2 -based polymer nanocomposites, which showed obviously enhanced adsorption capability towards MB.

The triazol-3-ylamine and three different kinds of Schiff base compounds are self-assembled on bronze surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization measurements show that the triazol-3-ylamine and Schiff base self-assembled films can protect bronze from corrosion in 0.5 M HCl solution. The corrosion efficiency increases with the self-assembly time increasing and reaches a stable value after 8 h. The highest corrosion efficiency of the bronze electrode modified with self-assembled films reaches 95.81% after immersing in 0.005 M 2,4-Dibromo-6-[(4H-[1,2,4]Triazol-3-ylimino)-methyl]-phenol Schiff base solution for 10 h. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electrochemical microscope are used to characterize the inhibitive ability of the self-assembled films. Quantum chemical calculations and dynamic simulations indicate that the triazol-3-ylamine and Schiff bases molecules can absorb on the copper surface via chemisorption. The adsorption energy increases with the number of aromatic rings.

The ultrahigh piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 ≥ 1000 pC/N) exhibited by piezoelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 (PZT) ceramics not only captivates researchers but also holds considerable practical value across various applications. While significant progress has been made in enhancing piezoelectricity of PZT-based ceramics, novel mechanisms need to be proposed to explain the piezoelectric behavior of new systems with ultrahigh d 33 . In this study, we initially employ LiNbO 3 as an additive to enhance the piezoelectric properties of the Pb(Ni 1 / 3 Nb 2 / 3 )O 3 –PbZrO 3 –PbTiO 3 ceramics. and the optimal performance is achieved by incorporating 1.5 mol% of LiNbO 3 into the system, resulting in an ultrahigh d 33 ∼1178 pC/N ( d 33 * ∼1560 p.m./V (@ E = 5 kV/cm)). The corresponding mechanism for this superior piezoelectric response involves the AB-site co-doping effect, especially the ( Li Pb ′ − Nb Zr / Ti ∙ ) defect dipoles formed by the introduction of LiNbO 3 . In particular, the addition of LiNbO 3 leads to a more uniform distribution of domain sizes, thereby further enhancing the ultrahigh piezoelectricity. These findings pave the way for a deeper under-standing of the origin of ultrahigh piezoelectric properties and make substantial contributions to the advancement of piezoelectric materials for practical applications in electromechanical devices.

Despite polylactide (PLA) representing one of the most promising biodegradable materials, its applications lag far behind owing to the disadvantages of inherent brittleness and flammability, which is challengeable to simultaneously overcome. In this work, a phosphorus-containing core-shell starch nanoparticle (FR-CSS) was synthesized via soap-free emulsion polymerization for concurrent improvement of toughness and flame retardancy of PLA. The results revealed that with the incorporation of 10 wt% FR-CSS, the elongation at break of PLA/10FR-CSS was prominently improved to 308% while the tensile strength was about 40.0 MPa. Particularly, the toughness of PLA/FR-CSS was as high as 108.2 MJ/m 3 , which was 48 times higher than that of neat PLA. Besides, the PLA/10FR-CSS exhibited improved flame retardancy with a UL-94 V-2 rating and a LOI value of 24.5%. These results established an integrated design strategy of incorporating phosphorus-containing core-shell nanoparticles to prepare PLA composites combined excellent toughness with enhanced flame retardancy, therefore broadening the application gallery of PLAs.

Hydrogel-based wound dressings are ideal materials as they could provide a moist environment to promote wound healing. Silk sericin is a natural macromolecular protein produced by silkworms and has positive effects on fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Sodium alginate is a natural polysaccharide known as a mouldable matrix. To develop novel hydrogel wound dressings, sodium alginate was functionalized with silk sericin to yield an injectable and mouldable semi-interpenetrating network hydrogel (SA/Se) using calcium ions as the crosslinking agents. Meanwhile, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized in situ by the phenolic hydroxyl group of tyrosine in sericin to enhance the antibacterial activity of the hybrid hydrogel. UV–visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy demonstrated the successful synthesis of AgNPs with average size of 15.7 nm in SA/Se-Ag0.2. Field emission scanning electron microscopy showed the macroporous structure of the hydrogel. The hybrid hydrogel had a swelling ratio of 32 and more than 5% of retention ratio after 50 h. It exhibited effective antibacterial activity through irreversibly disrupting bacterial membrane structure to result in bacterial lysis and death. Cell counting kit-8 assay suggested the hybrid hydrogel was highly cytocompatible. The animal experiment showed the wound contraction ratio in SA/Se-Ag0.2 group was 99% after 12 days, indicating it can effectively promote wound healing. This novel hydrogel is promising for wound healing and tissue engineering.

(Ba,Sr) 3 MgSi 2 O 8 :Eu 2+ , Mn 2+ phosphors with 430/505/660 nm tri-bands or 430/660 nm dual-bands emission were demonstrated in this work by controlling the appearence or not of green emitting intermediate phases, (Ba,Sr) 2 SiO 4 :Eu 2+ . Through varying the stoichiometric amount of SiO 2 in precursor, the coexistence of green emitting intermediate phase tended to be sensitive and diversified. Laser Microzone Raman spectrum was employed to look insight into the lattice stretch and the preferential occupation sites of Ba 2+ ions in Sr 3 MgSi 2 O 8 lattices. The local structure and the crystal field of Eu 2+ luminescent centers were found to be disturbed by distorted arrangement of cross-linked [MgO 6 ] octahedra and [SiO 4 ] tetrahedra. This mechanism approach provided some new insights to further understanding the adjustment strategy of green emitting intermediate phases in (Ba,Sr) 3 MgSi 2 O 8 :Eu 2+ , Mn 2+ phosphor potentially applied as red/blue dual-bands emitting or red/green/blue tri-bands emitting materials.

A higher porosity with better thermostability is desirable for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) resin. In this study, high molecular weight PVC resins are prepared by vinyl chloride monomer (VCM)-diallyl phthalate (DAP) suspension copolymerization in a 20-L reactor at 50 °C using DAP as chain extender. SEM, BET, and analyses of plasticizer absorption results show the high molecular weight poly(vinyl chloride) (HPVC) by DAP-VCM copolymerization is loose and porous. With increasing DAP content when the mass ratio of DAP/VCM (ω ) is below the gel point, the porosity and the degree of polymerization increase. Nevertheless, the bulk density and particle size decrease. When more than the gel point, these relationships are reversed. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the HPVC had better thermostability than that of commercial PVC, and its thermostability increases with increasing ω before it reaches the gel point. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Carbon resource recovery from toxic organic wastewater to reduce unnecessary energy loss and greenhouse gas emissions is rarely pursued. In the present study, a promising approach for formic acid (FA) recovery from EDTA wastewater was proposed by coupling ozonation and flow-electrode capacitive deionization (Ozo/FCDI). In the ozonation process, a FA productivity of 25% was obtained with the complete degradation of EDTA. The FA recovery from wastewater was compared under electrodialysis (i.e., without the use of flowable carbon electrodes, 0 wt%) and FCDI (i.e. using 5 wt% flowable carbon electrodes) processes and the results demonstrated the superiority of the FCDI process. After 390 min of operation, the accumulated FA concentration in the anode chamber of the FCDI system had increased to 633.6 mg/L with a low energy consumption of 8.0 kWh/kg FA, which was 1.8 times of the FA concentration in the electrodialysis (ED) process and nearly 6.4 times in the feed stream. These findings suggest the effective acquisition of high value-added FA in the Ozo/FCDI system; may provide new opportunities and challenges for the recovery of organic compounds.

Currently, polysaccharide-based hydrogels are widely studied macromolecular networks to modify drug dissolution from controlled-releasing matrix tablets. Among them, polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) films consisted of chitosan (CS) and sodium alginate (SA) could be obtained via spontaneously assembling under physiological gastrointestinal environment. Here, we utilized these self-assembled PEC films as an efficient coating materials to develop controlled-released matrix tablets through compression coating process, with paracetamol (APAP) as model drug. The constitutive and morphology characteristic studies on these PEC films illustrated that the mixture of CS and SA with the weight ratio of 1:1 would be an promising outer layer for compression-coating tablets. In addition, the in vitro drug releasing behavior experiments demonstrated that the optimized compression coating tablets displayed satisfied zero-order drug releasing profits. Furthermore, the in vivo pharmacokinetic studies of these APAP loaded compression-coated tablets in New Zealand rabbits gave that the T max (12.32 ± 1.05 h) was significantly prolonged ( p < 0.01), compared to that (0.89 ± 0.26 h) of common APAP tablets (Jinfuning ® ) after oral administration. These studies suggest that the compression-coated tablets with self-assembled PEC film as coating outer layer may be a promising strategy for peroral controlled release delivery system of water soluble drugs.
