Carbon dioxide, being one of the major greenhouse gases responsible for global warming, its atmospheric level grows ever faster since the beginning of industrial era. Great efforts have been devoted to developing versatile technologies/processes to adjust and manipulate the rapid growth of CO 2 emission. Besides CO 2 capture and storage/sequestration (CCS) to control its emission, chemical utilization of the captured CO 2 (CCU) emerges to be a rational technique for economical benefits as well as environmental concerns. As for the aim of CO 2 utilization, an environmentally benign CO 2 /water reversible acidic system was developed for the copper (II)-catalyzed selective oxybromination of electron-rich aromatics without the need of any conventional acid additive and organic solvent. Notably, up to 95% yields of the bromination products were attained with good regio-selectivity when cupric bromide was used as the catalyst and lithium bromide as a cheap and easy handling bromine source under supercritical CO 2 . The catalytic system worked well for electron-rich aromatics including ethers, sulfides and mesitylene. Carbonic acid in situ formed from CO 2 and water is supposed to act as the proton donator in the Brønsted acid-promoted reaction. Notably, CO 2 in this study serves as a reaction medium and a promoter in conjunction with water and also provides safe environment for aerobic reactions. Given with excellent reaction efficiency as well as no need of neutralization disposal, this process thus represents an environmentally friendly approach for aerobic bromination of aromatics with essential reduction of CO 2 emission as well as an economically beneficial way for application of captured CO 2 .

In an attempt to control Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , CaCO 3 , and CaSO 4 deposits in industrial recycling water systems, an acrylic acid (AA)-allyloxy poly(ethylene glycol) polyglycerol carboxylate (APEG-PG-COOH) copolymer was synthesized as a nonphosphorus inhibitor. The synthesized polymer was characterized by 1 H NMR. The performance of PAA/APEG-PG-COOH on inhibition of Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , CaCO 3 and CaSO 4 precipitation was studied through static scale inhibition tests. It was shown that PAA/APEG-PG-COOH exhibited excellent ability to control inorganic minerals, with approximately 100% CaSO 4 inhibition and 99.89% Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 inhibition at levels of 3 and 6 mg/L PAA/APEG-PG-COOH, respectively. PAA/APEG-PG-COOH also displayed ability to prevent the formation of CaCO 3 scales. The effects on formation of Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , CaCO 3 and CaSO 4 were investigated with combination of Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis, respectively.

Soluble and thermally stable polycarbonate polyurethane elastomers were synthesized through a solvent-free and nonisocyanate melt transesterification process. The conditions of this process were studied, and the optimum conditions were as follows: the catalyst dibutyltin oxide dosage was 0.125 wt %, the raw material molar ( n ) ratio of dimethyl 1,6-hexamethylene dicarbamate (HDC) to poly(carbonate macrodiol) (PCDL) was n (HDC)/ n (PCDL) = 1:0.99, the reactants were prepolymerized under 100°C for 1 h and then under 185°C and a high vacuum for 4 h. Three different PCDLs were selected to participate in the reaction under the conditions mentioned previously, and their structures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The products obtained from this process were still stable under 280°C. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015 , 132 , 41377.

Poor room-temperature ionic conductivity and lithium dendrite formation are the main issues of solid electrolytes. In this work, rod-shaped alumina incorporation and graphite coating were simultaneously applied to poly (propylene carbonate) (PPC)-based polymer solid electrolytes (Wang et al., 2018). The obtained alumina modified solid electrolyte membrane (Al-SE) achieves a high ionic conductivity of 3.48 × 10 −4 S/cm at room temperature with a wide electrochemical window of 4.6 V. The assembled NCM622/Al-SE/Li solid-state battery exhibits initial discharge capacities of 198.2 mAh/g and 177.5 mAh/g at the current density of 0.1 C and 0.5 C, with the remaining capacities of 165.8 mAh/g and 161.3 mAh/g after 100 cycles respectively. The rod-shaped structure of Al 2 O 3 provides fast transport channels for lithium ions and its Lewis acidity promotes the dissociation of lithium salts and release of free lithium ions. The lithiophilic Al 2 O 3 and Graphite form intimate contact with metallic Li and create fast Li + conductive layers of Li-Al-O layer and LiC 6 layer, thus facilitating the uniform deposition of Li and inhibiting Li dendrite formation during long-term cycling. This kind of composite Al-SE is expected to provide a promising alternative for practical application in solid electrolytes.

An ion-exchange material – Poly(diallyldimethylammonium carbonate) (PDDACA) containing mobile carbonate has been prepared and it has been blended in a fixed carrier membrane material – polyvinylamine (PVAm) containing abundant amine-group to adjust the carrier microenvironment of the fixed carrier membrane. It makes the mobile carrier cruise around the fixed carrier. On one hand, the CO 2 can be transported continuously in the swing area of fixed carrier through the mobile carriers, the passivity of fixed carrier can be overcome and the utilization efficiency of fixed carrier can be enhanced. On the other hand, a loose and low crystalline system will be obtained by blending two polymers, the number of effective mobile carrier will be increased with mobile carriers unlocking from the crystalline area, and the loose and low crystalline system will provide a good environment for the movement of mobile carriers. These are conducive to enhance the performance of blend membrane in comparision with single polymer membrane. The CO 2 permeance and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of PVAm-PDDACA membrane, which concurrently contains fixed amine carriers and movable carbonate carriers, can reach 909 GPU and 102 at 0.11 MPa, respectively. The performance of PVAm-PDDACA membrane is enhanced obviously in comparision with PVAm membrane and PDDACA membrane.

Plastic waste has caused severe environmental problems. Some additives in plastics, like organophosphates, enter the environment with plastic waste, causing significant harm to plants and creatures. However, the primary method of recycling phosphorus-containing plastic, especially polycarbonate and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (PC/ABS), is a mechanical method, which not only does not effectively separate plastics and organophosphates but also tends to cause polymer degradation during recycling. In order to overcome these problems, we proposed an efficient and sustainable approach to recycle of phosphorus-containing plastic. In this method, N, N -dimethylcyclohexylamine (DMCHA), a switchable hydrophilicity solvent (SHS), was used to react with and extract organophosphates in plastic, achieving the goal of complete separation of plastic and organophosphates. PC/ABS can be recovered by precipitation. Dissolved organophosphates can also be easily recovered due to the switching characteristics of SHS. Both of recovered materials were of high purity and were close to virgin materials. This technique is an easy and efficient approach to separate plastic and organophosphates, which has excellent application prospects in recycling phosphorus-containing plastic.

Fast curing hydrogels are highly valuable in the skin care industry. Multi-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a commonly used crosslinking agent for the preparation of fast curing hydrogels. However, the hydrogel preparation using multi-arm PEG crosslinking agents usually requires the end group modifications of reactants, which makes the preparation process complicated and produces hydrogels with low curing rates. In the present study, a fast in situ curing hydrogel, 4-arm-PEG-succinimidyl carbonate/carboxymethyl chitosan (PEG-SC/CMCS), was prepared using 4-arm-PEG-SC as the crosslinking agent and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), a derivative of natural polysaccharide with excellent comprehensive properties, as the framework without any end groups modified. The structure and properties of the prepared hydrogel were characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, rheology and swelling kinetics. The effects of reaction conditions on the structure and properties of hydrogel were investigated. The PEG-SC/CMCS hydrogel exhibited pH-sensitive swelling behaviors. Its application potential in skin care products is demonstrated with its excellent sustained-release performance of Vitamin C, a model drug for skin treatment, and high adsorption capacity of heavy metal ions that are easily deposited on skin surface. Our work has provided a new strategy for building multifunctional gel materials for skin care and offered a PEG-SC/CMCS hydrogel with great application potentials.
