In the present work, a kind of amine alkyl siloxane N -butyl-N-((1,1,3-trimethyl-3,3-diphenyldisiloxaneyl)methyl)butan-1-amine (BTDMBA) was synthesized and used to capture SO 2 . Its thermal decomposition temperature is 160℃, which is comparable with that of Ionic liquids (ILs), but its viscosity is only 125 mPa∙s at 25℃ after the absorption of SO 2 , which is much lower than that of ILs. The reaction mechanism is that BTDMBA reacted with SO 2 to form charge transfer complex BTDMBA∙SO 2 . The reaction enthalpy and entropy change are −83.95 kJ/mol and −240.48 J·mol −1 ·K −1 , respectively, which are more negative than that of ILs. By comparing the enthalpy and entropy change of amine alkyl siloxane and absorbents reported in literatures, an unexpected entropy enthalpy compensation phenomenon was discovered and the isokinetic temperature was found to be 371 K. Based on this phenomenon and the optimization objective function, it was also found that with the decrease of entropy change, the optimal absorption and desorption temperature difference increased initially and decreased afterwards. The maximum of entropy changes is −201 J·mol −1 ·K −1 for absorbent to achieve recycle absorption capacity 0.79 mol/mol under the condition of absorption pressure 0.002 bar and desorption pressure 1 bar.

Researchers are accustomed to utilizing traditional solid-state and sol–gel routes to synthesize Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP). No regulation mechanism is proposed to illustrate the growth process of NVP in solvothermal environment. In current work, uniform spherical particles with positive charge are synthesized by molecular self-assembly of nanosphere micelles using structural guiding agent polyethylene glycol (PEG) and surfactant Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Nanoflower-shaped NVP sample is successfully prepared in the 100 % methyl alcohol medium, derived from the plate V 2 O 5 (negative charge) combining with the nuclear nanospheres (positive charge) with the induction of electrostatic attraction. Based on the multi-dimensional tests and molecular dynamic calculation, the protective mechanism of polar solution for NVP system is proposed for the first time, that is, methanol solvent system can better protect the morphological features of NVP than water environment to maintain the original special nanoflower morphology. Due to the distinctive and stabilized nanoflower construction, the optimized NVP60 sample can provide more extra active sites for the efficient de-intercalation of Na + and possess a large contacting area with electrolyte, resulting in the facilitated kinetic characteristics and superior electrochemical performance. The optimized NVP60 cathode possesses superior sodium storage property in both half cell and full cell. This work proposes a synergetic strategy combining theory and experiment to design and synthesize the modified NVP-based cathode materials from the molecular bonding aspect, further promoting the development of high performance cathode for SIBs.

The dynamic surface tension and dilational viscoelasticity properties of amphiphilic polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers were investigated to probe the hydrophobic chain effect on the interfacial properties and the demulsification behaviors. The values of dynamic parameters n and t * representing diffusion speed of the molecules obtained according to the Rosen equation decreased with the increasing of bulk concentration. Taking the hydrophobic effect into consideration, the t * values decreased and n values increased with the increase of alkyl chain length, suggesting easier adsorption and faster diffusion for longer hydrophobic chain which was opposite to the tendency of traditional surfactants. Further dilational viscoelasticity studies demonstrated that the properties referring to adsorption and exchange-diffusion were probably affected by the aggregates conformation at the interface. Subsequently, from the demulsification experiments a conclusion can be drawn that the amphiphilic dendrimers with branched dendritic structure possesses superior properties of breaking W/O crude oil emulsions, showing a certain correlation to the dilational viscoelasticity properties.

Over the past few years, ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely reported as reaction media for reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). In particular, almost all the ILs with the structure [Hmim][RCOO] (R represents an alkyl group) have been used as ligands for a reverse ATRP system. However, the facile, simple and low-cost ILs, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazole chloride ([Rmim][Cl]), have rarely been employed as ligands for reverse ATRP. In this article, a [Rmim][Cl] was successfully employed as a ligand for the reverse ATRP of methyl methacrylate with Fe(III) as catalyst and 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator. The key to success is to adjust the FeCl3/[Rmim][Cl] molar ratio value to 1 : 1. The results indicated that the polymerization with [Rmim][Cl] as a ligand proceeded in a controlled/“living” fashion, as evidenced by the first-order kinetic plot, low polydispersity index values, and increase in polymer molecular weight with monomer conversion. The effects of various experimental parameters, including different catalysts, reaction temperatures, solvents, and molar ratios of FeCl3/[Rmim][Cl], on the polymerization were investigated in detail. Furthermore, 1H NMR and gel permeation chromatography analyses confirmed the halogen-containing chain-end functionality of the resultant polymer.

ObjectivesIn our previous research, we have developed a new combination disinfectant, glutaraldehyde‐didecyldimethylammonium bromide (GD). It was verified that GD had a strong effect on both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In this work, Candida albicans was selected as an object, and it could be killed by GD. We aimed to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanism of GD effecting on C. albicans.Methods and ResultsThe results of sterilization experiment indicated that GD was effective on C. albicans. Flow cytometry and atomic absorption spectrometry were applied to detect cell membrane damage of C. albicans. Luciferase reaction and Bradford method were carried out to detect ATP content and protein quantitation. Transmission electron microscopy was used for intracellular organelles morphological observation. In order to study changes in mitochondrial membrane potential, Rh 123 was used as an indicator. DNA conformation analysis was performed by molecular modelling and circular dichroism. The results indicated that membrane permeability was increased rapidly owing to GD effect, and the leaked K+ and Mg2+ were about 12·1 and 12·4 times those of the control, respectively, at 10 min after GD treatment. Simultaneously, ATP and protein also leaked rapidly out of the cell. Mitochondrial membrane potential was destroyed, succinic dehydrogenase activity was significantly decreased and DNA conformation was changed because of GD action.ConclusionsGlutaraldehyde‐didecyldimethylammonium bromide disinfected C. albicans through distorting cell membrane integrity and permeability, disturbing the intracellular homeostasis by intracellular substances leakage, especially K+, Mg2+, ATP and protein, causing electrolyte imbalance of mitochondria, changing DNA structure, which finally led to cell death.Significance and Impact of the StudyThis study focused on the cellular and molecular mechanism of GD as a disinfectant against C. albicans. It is important to provide theoretical support to GD against Candida albicans in practical application.
