A composite luminescent material consisting of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) and MOF-5 using an in-situ growth method. The preparation of MOF-5 as a growth template was achieved via hydrothermal synthesis, with the addition of CTAB/TMB as a stencil agent to facilitate the formation of pores with an appropriate size. Subsequently, CsPbBr 3 QDs were grown in situ on the MOF under mechanical grinding conditions. The prepared CsPbBr 3 @MOF-5 composite materials were characterized by various analytical techniques including BET, XRD, PL, TEM, SEM, and EDS. The results revealed that the average size of PQDs was only 4.9 nm, and the corresponding emission peak exhibited a blue shift of 11 nm. The photoluminescence intensity (PL) of CsPbBr 3 @MOF-5 was increased by 71% compared to the unmodified sample, and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of solid powder increased to 48%. This is due to the fact that MOF-5 reduces the surface defects of quantum dots. Additionally, the Significantly improved PQDs stability after compounding MOF, both at room temperature and under thermal stress. These findings highlight the potential of this synthetic strategy as a means of preparing ultra-small composite light-emitting materials, with promising applications in LED and optoelectronic devices.

The objective of this research was to present an alternate approach for enhancing the emulsification and gelation properties of porcine MP under low NaCl conditions (0.1 M). This was achieved by utilizing lipoxygenase from Volvaria volvacea ( vv LOX). Addition of vv LOX from 0 to 1000 U/mL, gradually decreased the protein particle size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential values at same time increased the emulsion activity and stability index of the MP emulsion. Additionally, the gel strength and water holding capability of the MP gel also increased. At a concentration of 0.1 M NaCl, the application of vv LOX treatment resulted in a compact gel matrix for the MP gel, as evidenced by measurements of dynamic viscoelasticity and microstructure. The mechanism of enhancing emulsification and gelation properties by vv LOX addition could attribute to decreasing the dispersion of particle sizes and increasing the repulsive forces between droplets.

Polyureas (PU) are well known as a class of high impact engineering materials, and widely used also in emerging advanced applications. As a general observation, most of them are only soluble in a very limited number of highly protonic solvents, which makes their chemical structure analysis a great challenge. Besides the presence of abundant hydrogen bonding, the poor solubility of PU in common organic solvents is often ascribed to the formation of biuret crosslinking in their molecular chains. To clarify the presence of biuret groups in PU has been of great interest. To this end, two samples, based on hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) respectively, were synthesized by precipitation polymerization of each of these diisocyanates in water-acetone at 30 °C. Their chemical structures were analyzed by high resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR, and through comparison of their NMR spectra with those of specially prepared biuret-containing polyurea oligomers, it was concluded that biuret group was absent in all the PU prepared at 30 °C. In addition, this NMR analysis was also applied to a PU obtained by copolymerization of TDI with ethylene diamine (EDA) and water at 65 °C in EDA aqueous solution. It was confirmed that biuret unit was also absent in this PU and that EDA was more active than water towards TDI. The presence of EDA was crucial to the formation of uniform PU microspheres. This study provides therefore a reliable method for the analysis of PU chemical structure.

Electrospun nanofibrous separators, despite lacking superior mechanical strength, have gained widespread attention with high porosity and facile processing. Herein, utilizing the fact that thermal imidization temperature of poly(amic acid) (PAA) into polyimide (PI) coincides with the pre-oxidation temperature of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) into carbon fiber, we proposed a new cross-electrospinning strategy to obtain a composite nanofibrous separator (PI/oPAN) randomly interwoven by PI and pre-oxidized PAN (oPAN) nanofibers, via synchronously electrospinning the PAA and PAN onto the same collector and then heat-treating for 2 h at 300 °C. The resultant PI/oPAN separator was able to preserve high porosity (71.7%), electrolyte wettability and thermal stability of PI nanofibrous membrane, and surprisingly exhibited high mechanical strength, being 3 times of PI, which mainly because of the numerous adhesion points generated by the melting of PAN in the pre-oxidation process. Meanwhile, the polar groups of oPAN and 3D fibrous network enhanced the PI/oPAN separator’s ionic conductivity and Li + transference number, rendering the corresponding cell with more stable cycling performance than cells assembled with pure PI, PAN or commercial PP separator. Therefore, this work might provide a new avenue for the ongoing design and further development of LIB separators capable of high safety and high performance.

Owing to their high significance in fundamental study and diverse applications, stimuli-responsive and fluorescent polymers, particularly those with cluster-triggered emission (CTE) featured by non-conjugated chromophores, have drawn tremendous attention in recent years. In this work, fluorescent and multi-responsive polysiloxane (FRPS) was synthesized by hydrolytic condensation polymerization of 3-aminopropyl methyl diethoxysilane (APMS) with 3-( N -isopropyl propionamide) iminopropyl methyl diethoxysilane (APMS-NIP), which was formed in situ through aza-Michael addition between APMS and N -isopropyl acrylamide. FRPS was not only highly sensitive to temperature, pH and CO 2 in water, but also showed an enhanced and stimuli-adjustable fluorescence emission. The effects of monomer feeding, pH and CO 2 on its lower critical solution temperature and fluorescent property were investigated. FRPS fluorescence emission was ascribed to CTE mechanism. In addition, FRPS was shown to be highly potential as physiological indicator for cell imaging, and for controlled release and trace detection of doxorubicin. This study provides therefore a type of stimuli-responsive and fluorescent material for potential applications in biomedical fields, and it is also of great significance for understanding of the fluorescence mechanism of polysiloxane-based stimuli-responsive polymers.

In recent years, ionic liquids (ILs) have received increasing attention because of low vapor pressure, environment friendliness, good thermal and chemical stability and strong solubility. However, the liquid nature and high viscosity restrict their applications in some fields. Encapsulation of ILs is an attractive way to handle them easily. Herein, we proposed a facile method to prepare IL-loaded microcapsules using IL-in-oil emulsion as template, poly(amide-thioether) as surfactant and interfacial thiol–isocyanate click reaction for shell formation. In this system, core materials ILs were proved to be able to catalyze thiol–isocyanate reaction without side products, which significantly simplified the preparation process of microcapsules. The shell of the microcapsules was composed of polythiourethane and poly(amide-thioether), which provided a strong protection for ILs. In addition, compared with IL-in-water emulsion, the application of IL-in-oil emulsion avoided the side reactions of the highly active isocyanate. The IL content of the resulted microcapsules could reach as high as 70 wt.%. It was also demonstrated that the proposed encapsulation technology was suitable for ILs with different polarities. This work provides an efficient way to encapsulate ILs using emulsion template, which will make ILs find widespread applications across various fields.

A novel polymer gel electrolyte was used to improve the performance and long-term stability in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The polymer gel electrolyte (PGE) was prepared by mixing 5 wt% poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and 2 % TiO 2 nanoparticles. The conductivity of PGE with P25 reached 9.98 × 10 −3 S/cm, which increased by 34.9 % compared with 7.40 × 10 −3 S/cm of PGE without P25, and the diffusion coefficient was also increased by 19.0 %. Different photoelectrodes were obtained by using three kinds of surfactants (cetylamine, octadecylamine, and P123) as pore-forming materials, and their morphologies were contrasted through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that gel electrolyte can increase the short-circuit current density ( J
sc ) from 11.01 to 12.99 mA/cm 2 in DSSCs. Moreover, unlike the liquid electrolyte, the gel electrolyte is more conducive to the TiO 2 photoelectrodes with larger pores. In conclusion, the efficiency of DSSC with gel electrolyte and P123 as pore-forming material was 6.73 %, which was 12 % higher than the liquid electrolyte in the same test condition. In addition, the sealed gel electrolyte DSSCs showed better stability than did liquid electrolyte DSSCs during nearly 600 h.

The cobalt metal–organic frameworks (Co-MOFs) were efficiently prepared by ultrasonic-assisted ball milling with low cost, utilizing 1, 3, 5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and cobalt (II) acetate tetrahydrate. The structural characteristics were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry (TGA), and BET surface areas method. The adsorption of Co-MOFs to Congo Red (CR) was analyzed by Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The results showed that the maximum adsorption performance (fitted by Langmuir adsorption isotherm) of the Co-MOFs (with 30 min’s synthesis time and 1:1 molar ratio of the raw material) to CR reached 1.76 × 10 3 mg/g, which is much higher than previous reports. The adsorption experiment reached equilibrium in 30 min. Electrostatic attractions, π–π stacking interactions and pH are considered to play a significant role in the adsorption of Co-MOFs to CR. The adsorption rate of Co-MOFs to CR remains 34% even after it is recycled for the third time. In this paper, the absorption results indicated that Co-MOFs prepared by ultrasonic-assisted ball milling presents a great prospect in the field of CR adsorption.

Thermodynamic equilibria of complexes of 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane- N , N , N ', N '-tetraacetic acid (DHPTA) with heavy lanthanides (Tb 3+ , Ho 3+ and Lu 3+ ) in aqueous solution have been investigated with potentiometry, spectrophotometry, luminescence spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The results identified three 1:1 Ln/DHPTA (Ln: Tb 3+ , Ho 3+ and Lu 3+ ) complexes with different degrees of deprotonation, LnL − , Ln(H −1 L) 2− , and Ln(OH)(H −1 L) 3− , where H −1 represents the deprotonation of the hydroxyl group between two methyliminodiacetate groups in the DHPTA structure. The alkoxide form of the DHPTA hydroxyl group directly binds to the lanthanide atom, forming highly strong chelation. The complex of Ln(H −1 L) 2− could be present as a dimeric or polymeric complex in solution.

In this paper, as-received Zn powder and as-prepared Zn@(ZnWO 4 /ZnO) core–shell powder were used as feedstocks for plasma spraying to prepare Zn-based composite coatings and nano-ZnO was co-deposited by chemical vapor deposition induced by plasma spraying. The composition and morphology were controllable within certain range by plasma spraying power. The photocatalytic activities of the coatings were analyzed by the degradation efficiency of methyl orange (MO) solution. It was found the photocatalytic activity can be improved with ZnWO 4 decoration. The Zn/ZnO/ZnWO 4 coating which presented tremella-like surface morphology was testified to have the best photocatalytic activity under UV light irradiation among all coatings. On the other hand, the chemical surface modification with 1H,1H,1H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (FAS-17) was implemented to produce superhydrophobic coatings. Among all modified coatings, the ZnWO 4 -containing coating with tremella-like surface structure presented the best superhydrophobicity. By the cyclic wetting and tape adhesion experiments, the tremella-like structure was proved to make a great improvement on the robustness of the Zn-based superhydrophobic coatings. The superhydrophobic and photocatalytic properties provide the possibility for the application of the coating in the fields of antifouling, antibacterial, and photocatalytic degradation of organics.

Microplastics provide a unique niche for viruses, promoting viral interactions with hosts and accelerating the rapid ‘horizontal’ spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Currently, however, there is a lack of knowledge concerning the main drivers for viral distribution on microplastics and on the resulting patterns of viral biogeographic distributions and the spread of the associated ARGs. Here we performed metagenomic and virus enrichment-based viromic sequencings on both polyethylene and polypropylene microplastics along a river. Experimental results show that Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria and Cyanobacteria were the potential hosts of viruses on microplastics, but only approximately 4.1% of viral variations were associated with a bacterial community. Notably, two shared ARGs and six metal resistance genes were identified in both viral and their host bacterial genomes, indicating the occurrence of horizontal gene transfer between viruses and bacteria. Furthermore, microplastics introduce more distinctive elements to viral ecology, fostering viral diversification and virus–host linkage while refraining from an escalated level of horizontal gene transfer of ARGs in contrast to natural matrixes. Our study provides comprehensive profiles of viral communities, virus-related ARGs and their driving factors on microplastics, highlighting how these anthropogenic niches provide unique interfaces that comprise highly defined viral ecological features in the environment.

Polymer nanocomposites with tuning functions are exciting candidates for various applications, and most current research has focused on static mechanical reinforcement. Actually, under service conditions of complex dynamic interference, stable dynamic mechanical properties with high energy dissipation become more critical. However, nanocomposites often exhibit a trade-off between static and dynamic mechanics, because of their contradictory underlying physics between chain crosslinking and chain relaxation. Here, we report a general strategy for constructing ultra-stable dynamic mechanical complex fluid nanocomposites with high energy dissipation by infusing complex fluids into the nanoconfined space. The key is to tailor full-scale polymer dynamics across an exceptionally broad timescale by single-chain confinement. These materials exhibit stable storage modulus (10 0 ~ 10 2 MPa) with high energy dissipation (loss factor > 0.4) over a broad frequency range (10 −1 ~ 10 7 Hz)/temperature range (−35 ~ 85°C). In the loss factor > 0.4 region, their dynamic mechanical stability (rate of modulus change versus temperature (k)) is 10 times higher than that of conventional polymer nanocomposites.
