Limited by the notorious Li dendrites growth and serious polysulfide shuttle effect, the development of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is stagnant. Herein, a multifunctional separator composed of Cu-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) and Li-Nafion was proposed to address the above intractable issues. The Cu-MOF with homogeneous porous structure and abundant Lewis acidic sites not only promotes uniform Li + flux, but also exhibits a strong chemical interaction with polysulfides to inhibit the shuttle effect. Moreover, the narrow pore size distribution in the Cu-MOF and negatively charged gap endowed by the -SO 3 − groups both act as ion sieve to facilitate the passage of Li + and restrict the migration of polysulfide anions, synergistically mitigating the dendritic Li growth and polysulfides shuttling. As a result, the symmetric cell with MOF/Nafion separator achieves ultralong cycling stability (1000 h) and ultralow overpotential of 20 mV at a current density of 1.0 mA cm −2 . Importantly, in the assembled Li-S full battery, the modified PP separator presents the superior cycle stability with capacity retention of 90% after 300 cycles at 0.5 C. Current outcomes open up a new route to design functional separators with ion permselective for realizing the dendrite-free and high-performance Li-S battery.

Co 9 S 8 is a potential anode material for its high sodium storage performance, easy accessibility, and thermostability. However, the volume expansion is a great hindrance to its development. Herein, a composite containing Co 9 S 8 nanofibers and hollow Co 9 S 8 nanospheres with N, S co-doped carbon layer (Co 9 S 8 @NSC) is successfully synthesized through a facile solvothermal process and a high-temperature carbonization. Ascribed to the carbon coating and the large specific surface area, severe volume stress can be effectively alleviated. In particular, with N and S heteroatoms introduced into the carbon layer, which is conducive to the Na + adsorption and diffusion on the carbon surface, Co 9 S 8 @NSC can perform more capacitive sodium storage mechanism. As a result, the electrode can exhibit a favorable reversible capacity of 226 mA h g −1 at 5 A g −1 and a favorable capacity retention of 83.1% at 1 A g −1 after 800 cycles. The unique design provides an innovative thought for enhancing the sodium storage performance.

In this study, a lead dioxide electrode co-modified with carbon microspheres and neodymium (CMS-Nd-PbO2) was prepared. The structural morphology and electrochemical properties of the four electrodes, PbO2, CMS-PbO2, Nd-PbO2, and CMS-Nd-PbO2, were compared by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance, respectively. The results showed that the prepared CMS-Nd-PbO2 electrode had higher surface denseness and higher electrode activity. Based on the accelerated lifetime experiment, the actual working life of four electrodes was studied, and the CMS-Nd-PbO2 electrode had a relatively long lifetime, increased 24.60% compared with the PbO2 electrode. The influencing parameters of electrochemical degradation of bisphenol S (BPS) by CMS-Nd-PbO2 electrode, the ability of different electrodes to generate hydroxyl radicals, reaction mechanism, and the possible BPS degradation pathways were also discussed. Further, the safety of the prepared electrode was evaluated. Under the optimal parameters, the removal rate of BPS and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were 96.49% and 51.84%, respectively. The dissolved lead ion concentration in the solution after electrochemical oxidation was lower than the WHO standard. The CMS-Nd-PbO2 electrode showed promising applications in the degradation of emerging contaminants wastewater.

Although advanced reduction processes (ARPs) based on UV/S(IV) (UV/sulfite) processes could achieve higher dechlorination and degradation efficiencies for organic pollutants , the mineralization and detoxification efficiencies still need to be further improved. In this study, post-reoxygenation was employed to improve the mineralization and detoxification of chloramphenicol (CAP) in UV/S(IV)-ARPs. The effects of initial pH and aeration rate on the dechlorination and mineralization efficiency of CAP were investigated. At the optimized conditions (pH 3.0, aeration rate of 0.3 L min −1 ), 92.75 % of dechlorination efficiency and 29.3 % of COD removal were obtained after 2 h of reoxygenation. Meanwhile, the effects of inorganic anions (Cl - , SO 4 2- , HCO 3 – , NO 3 – , and HPO 4 2- ) on the removal of COD and dechlorination efficiency were also evaluated. Furthermore, the electron paramagnetic resonance analysis disclosed that SO 4 •- and HO • mainly contributed to the mineralization of CAP. Further degradation and mineralization of CAP were confirmed in the post-reoxygenation UV/S(IV)-ARPs (PRO-UV/S(IV)-ARPs) and the intermediates were identified. The ecotoxicity prediction and residual toxicity assessment revealed that the ecotoxicity of CAP solution was significantly reduced after the treatment of post-reoxygenation. Overall, the PRO-UV/S(IV)-ARPs provides a promising choice with straightforward operation for the purification and detoxification of CAP wastewater.

Tribrachia star-shaped random copolymers with tunable thermosensitive phase transition temperature were designed and synthesized via a simple one-pot ammonolysis reaction approach with trimesic acid as cores. The self-assembly micellization behavior of the copolymers in aqueous solution was examined by surface tension, UV–vis transmittance, transmission electron microscope, and dynamic light scattering measurements, etc. The results indicated that the resultant copolymers formed thermosensitive micelle aggregates through hydrophobic interactions among the isopropyl groups of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) PNIPAM chains and inter-star association at a polymer concentration above critical aggregation concentrations from 4.06 to 6.55 mg L−1, with a cloud point range from 36.6℃ to 52.1℃, and homogeneously distributed micelle size below 200 nm. The arm length and the compositional ratios of the two comonomers had effect on physicochemical properties of the polymer micelle aggregates. Particularly, the cloud point values were enhanced as the (N,N-dimethylacrylamide) DMAM monomer was introduced and reached to 36.6℃ and 41.0℃–44.7℃ when the mass ratio of NIPAM to DMAM was 90:10 and 80:20, respectively. The thermo-triggered drug release and cytotoxicity were evaluated to confirm the applicability of the random copolymer micelle aggregates as novel drug targeted release carriers.

To realize the high-efficiency photodegradation of antibiotics, a novel S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 8 (CrO 4 )O 11 was proposed and successfully prepared in this work. The 10% g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 8 (CrO 4 )O 11 heterojunction exhibits the highest degradation rate of norfloxacin (NOR) and bisphenol A (BPA). The degradation rate of NOR on 10% g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 8 (CrO 4 )O 11 is about 1.38 and 2.33 times higher than that of pure Bi 8 (CrO 4 )O 11 and g-C 3 N 4 , respectively. Further, the degradation rate of BPA over 10% g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 8 (CrO 4 )O 11 heterojunction is bout 1.35 and 9.11 times higher than that of pure Bi 8 (CrO 4 )O 11 and g-C 3 N 4 , respectively. The formation of S-scheme heterojunction facilitates the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and reduces the recombination of charge carriers, which was confirmed by photocurrent, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, steady-state and time-resolved transient photoluminescence spectrum, etc. The in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, radical trapping experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance results demonstrate that the charge transfer is in accord with S-scheme mechanism.

Here, a series of thermoplastic shape memory poly(aryl ether ketone)s (PAEKs) with programmable transition temperature were synthesized via a condensation polymerization reaction. The introduction of flexible segments and side groups onto PAEK main chains promoted the formation of the alternating rigid-flexible structures and the enhanced shape memory properties. The synthesized PAEKs exhibited the great thermal stability and strength which could greatly meet the demands in engineering applications. In addition, non-contact actuation of the shape memory behaviors of PAEKs was realized through the integration of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with magnetocaloric effect. More significantly, small-angle X-ray scattering analysis was utilized to reveal the transition of molecular chains and phase states during the stretching and heating processes. The change of internal structures and orientation of molecular chains during the deformation process might contribute to the regulation of shape memory behaviors. These studies on the fabrication of shape memory PAEKs with non-contact magnetic actuation performances and the investigation of their structural variation during the stretching and heating process were expected to open doors for the fabrication and investigation of new type of shape memory polymers.

A series of multiblock sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)s (SPAES) with various block lengths and predictable ion exchange capacity were synthesized from 4,4′-difluorodiphenyl sulfone, 4,4′-dihydrodiphenyl sulfone and 4,4′-biphenol by one-pot and two-pot polymerization. 1 H-NMR and FTIR spectra confirmed the structure that sulfonic acid groups were introduced precisely on the poly(arylene ether sulfone)s by post-sulfonation which resulted in controllable sulfonation degree. The proton exchange membranes (PEMs)-based SPAES displayed excellent dimensional, thermal, antioxidant stability, proton conductivity and mechanical properties (maximum tensile stress >35 MPa). Thermogravimetric analysis indicated the prepared SPAES began to degrade above 310 °C. The effects of polymerization processes, those were, one-pot hydrophobic segment process, one-pot hydrophilic segment process and two-pot process, on the properties of polymers were investigated. The proton conductivity and microphase separation of SPAES PEMs increased in order of those prepared by one-pot hydrophobic segment process, two-pot process and one-pot hydrophilic segment process. The highest conductivities of SPAES synthesized by the above processes under 80 °C and 100% relative humidity were 213 (MS4), 297 (MB3) and 360 mS·cm −1 (MQ2), respectively.

Tetra-aminophenyl porphyrin (TAPP)-grafted Zn–Ag–In–S quantum dots (ZAIS QDs)/poly(maleic anhydride- alt -1-octadecene) (PMAO) nanoparticles were synthesized and their photoluminescence properties as well as photodynamic properties were studied. ZAIS QDs showed the brightest photoluminescence and highest quantum yield at an optimized Zn feeding molar ratio of 20%. Those TAPP-grafted nanoparticles (i.e., ZAIS/PMAO- g -TAPP) were able to produce 1 O 2 in aqueous solution under light irradiation as indicated by the 1 O 2 indicator, 9,10-anthracenediyl-bis(methylene) dimalonic acid (ADMA). ZAIS/PMAO- g -TAPP nanoparticles also demonstrate good biocompatibility and low dark toxicity even at a concentration as high as 2.8 mg·mL −1 , whith can be applied as both a fluorescence probe and a photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent. The PDT treatment showed that the viability of melanoma A2058 cells was less than 10% after treatment with the 420 nm light irradiation for 15 min at a photosensitizer concentration of 1.7 mg·mL −1 . During the PDT treatment with Escherichia coli , the survival rate of the bacteria decreased by −95% after light irradiation at the same concentration. Such dual-functional ZAIS/PMAO- g -TAPP nanoparticles researched in this study demonstrate promising potential for fluorescence labeling as well as effective PDT treatment against cancer cells and bacteria.

To achieve practical high energy density of Li-S battery, it is crucial to construct high-loading sulfur electrodes. However, the poor mechanical stability and severe shuttle effect of high-loading sulfur cathodes during cycling limit the cycling stability. Herein, a mechanically robust network binder with strong affinity towards polysulfides has been designed to stabilize the high-loading sulfur electrode. Lithium polysilicate (LSO) possesses abundant strong polar Si-O and Si = O bonds, which not only can effectively adsorb polysulfides but also firmly connect tamarind polysaccharide gum (TPG) biopolymer chains. As a result, the c-LSO-TPG binder can efficiently maintain the integrity of high-loading sulfur cathode and suppress the polysulfide shuttling during cycling. In particular, under a high sulfur loading of 5.4 mg cm −2 , the sulfur electrode can run 200 cycles steadily, delivering an areal capacity of 2.7 mAh cm −2 . This provides a new avenue for the research and development of robust binders for high-loading and long-lifespan Li-S batteries.

Two complexes of Tb 3+ , Gd 3+ /Tb 3+ and one heteronuclear crystal Gd 3+ /Tb 3+ with phenoxyacetic acid (HPOA) and 2,4,6-tris-(2-pyridyl)- s –triazine (TPTZ) have been synthesized. Elemental analysis, rare earth coordination titration, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) analysis show that the two complexes are Tb 2 (POA) 6 (TPTZ) 2 ·6H 2 O and TbGd(POA) 6 (TPTZ) 2 ·6H 2 O, respectively. The crystal structure of TbGd(POA) 6 (TPTZ) 2 ·2CH 3 OH was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The monocrystal belongs to the triclinic system with the P-1 space group. In particular, each metal ion is coordinately bonded to three nitrogen atoms of one TPTZ and seven oxygen atoms of three phenoxyacetic ions. Furthermore, there exist two coordinate forms between C 6 H 5 OCH 2 COO – and the metal ions in the crystal. One is a chelating bidentate, the other is chelating and bridge coordinating. Fluorescence determination shows that the two complexes possess strong fluorescence emissions. Furthermore, the fluorescence intensity of the Gd 3+ /Tb 3+ complex is much stronger than that of the undoped complex, which may result from a decrease in the concentration quench of Tb 3+ ions, and intramolecular energy transfer from the ligands coordinated with Gd 3+ ions to Tb 3+ ions.

The Zn/Sn ratio in Cu2ZnSn(S, Se)4 (CZTSSe) films has been regulated to control the composition-related phase, defect, and photoelectric properties for high performance kesterite solar cells. It is found that the increase in the Zn/Sn ratio can slightly narrow the energy band gap to extend the light absorption range and improve the photocurrent. Optimal Zn/Sn ratio of 1.39 in CZTSSe film is obtained with the least secondary phase, the lowest defect density, and the longest charge recombination lifetime. Up to 10.1% photoelectric conversion efficiency has been achieved by this composition regulation.
