Dielectric capacitors with a high energy-storage density and efficiency are urgently required for miniaturization and integration of power electronics and pulsed power system. Herein, single-layered stretched P(VDF-HFP) with a certain content of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and two kinds of sandwich-structured films are prepared to optimize and compare energy-storage performance. The results revealed that the crystallization transition behavior of stretched P(VDF-HFP) films contributed to enhance its electric polarization, while the introduction of linear type PMMA resulted in an enhancement of voltage tolerance of stretched films by improving the mechanical properties and suppressing leakage current. What’s more, the effects of crystalline orientations and structure design on the breakdown mechanism of stretched films were revealed by finite element theoretical simulation. As a consequence, the stretched sandwich-structured 0-25-0-S (pure P(VDF-HFP) serves as the outer layer, and blends represent the middle layer; the digit representing PMMA content in the P(VDF-HFP)) displayed a high Ue of 28.71 J/cm3 and η of 74% under 680 MV/m. This work provides a workable and effective method for developing capacitive films with great energy-storage performance.

A simple and novel strategy of superhydrophilic-superhydrophobic Janus membrane was provided here to deal with the increasingly serious oil-water separation problem, which has a very bad impact on environmental pollution and resource recycling. The Janus membrane of cPVA-PVDF/PMMA/GO with opposite hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties was prepared by layer-by-layer electrospinning. The structure of the Janus membrane is as follows: firstly, the mixed solution of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and graphene oxide (GO) was electrospun to form a hydrophobic layer, then polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofiber was coated onto the hydrophobic membrane by layer-by-layer electrospinning to form a composite membrane, and finally, the composite membrane was crosslinked to obtain a Janus membrane. The addition of GO can significantly improve the hydrophobicity, mechanical strength and stability of the Janus membrane. In addition, the prepared Janus membrane still maintained good oil-water separation performance and its separation efficiency almost did not decrease after many oil-water separation experiments. The flux in the process of oil-water separation can reach 1909.9 L m−2h−1, and the separation efficiency can reach 99.9%. This not only proves the separation effect of the nanocomposite membrane, but also shows its high stability and recyclability. The asymmetric Janus membrane shows good oil-water selectivity, which gives Janus membrane broad application prospects in many fields.Keywords:oil-water separation;Janus membrane;electrospun nanofiber;superhydrophobic

Li-dendrite growth and polysulfides shuttle are two core problems that restrict the applications of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Here, a double-layer-modified gel separator (DMS) is proposed to enable a shuttle-inhibition and dendrite-free quasi-solid-state LSB, where the polypropylene separator is sandwiched between an ultra-thin VS 2 layer (3 um) and a ceramic/polymer layer (6 um). On the cathode side, VS 2 layer can inhibit the polysulfides shuttle and boost their conversion kinetics. Meanwhile, on the anode side, the Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP)/PMMA/PVDF gel polymer electrolyte with the high-elastic-modulus and the homogenized Li-ion flux could effectively avoid dendrite growth. Last but not least, the quasi-solid-state LSB effectively prevents the evaporation of flammable ether-based electrolyte. Consequently, the quasi-solid-state-LSBs assembled with DMS show a high-capacity of 1197 mA h g −1 at 0.2 C and ultra-stable cycling performance over 800 cycles at 2 C with the decay rate of just 0.032% per cycle. Even with the high-sulfur-loading of 2.5 mg cm −2 , the LSB still delivers the high-capacity of 640.5 mA h g −1 at 2 C with stable cycling over 500 cycles. What's more, the assembled pouch cells still function properly even on the nail penetration and folding test, verifying the gel layer's integrity, and retention of electrochemical function under realistic conditions.

Fabrication of ultrathin ( e.g. , ∼2 nm) CsPbBr 3 nanowires is still challenging for existing methods, for the extremely fast crystal growth process of CsPbBr 3 . Here, we developed a self-assembled nanotemplate-confined growth concept to prepare ultrathin CsPbBr 3 nanowires. During electrospinning using the N , N -dimethylformamide (DMF) solution composed of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), PbBr 2 , CsBr, and capping agents, PMMA chains would assemble into nanochannels acting as nanotemplates within the electrospun PMMA fibers. Owing to the very limited amount of precursors within the nanochannels, ultrathin CsPbBr 3 nanowires were prepared after DMF evaporation. The CsPbBr 3 nanowires within the PMMA fibers or dispersed in toluene showed bright blue luminescence. The structure of the CsPbBr 3 products could be adjusted by the stirring time, as well as the amount of PMMA, PbBr 2 , and CsBr in DMF. Overall, we developed a new method towards engineering ultrafine CsPbBr 3 nanostructure through self-assembled template-confined growth concept during electrospinning, which may find potential applications in blue light emitting diodes and other optoelectronic devices.

Novel types of transparent PMMA composites were toughened with 3D loofah-like gel networks obtained via the in situ polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) gel with POSS-based supramolecular POSS-Lys(BOC) gelators that have excellent compatibility with the polymerized matrix for the nanoscale nature of supramolecular gel fibers. The “gel networks-energy dissipation” toughening mechanism was investigated using SEM, tensile testing and DMA, the results of which demonstrate that a favorable architecture formed by the gel nanofibres through hydrogen bonding interactions contributes to the toughness improvement in these nanocomposites. In particular, UV-Vis spectrometry and haze meter tests indicate that the PMMA nanocomposites maintain the advantage of good optical transparency. In addition, the physical self-assembly nature of the gel networks allows them to be easily extracted from the polymer matrix, the result of which clearly demonstrates the framework formed by the nanofibres has not only been retained during the in situ polymerization process, but also has an outstanding capacity for the dissipation of energy. As a result, a special type of nanoporous materials with stable pore shapes was obtained, which has potential applications in optical sensors, energy storage and as a Li-ion battery separator.

Advancements in transparent wood materials hold immense promise for eco-friendly construction, combating resource depletion, and enhancing energy efficiency. Yet, the quest for versatility and global uniformity poses challenges. Enter our breakthrough: a three-layer transparent wood that integrates thermal energy storage. We achieved this by compressing three partially impregnated wood substrates, featuring a silica-stabilized polyethylene glycol (PEG) core flanked by two polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) layers. In pursuit of optical and mechanical perfection, we employed a multi-layer approach to ensure global isotropy. Morphological analysis unveiled compact, hierarchical structures in the core, PEG encapsulation, and an innovative solution for preventing leaks, culminating in a remarkable latent heat of 15.0 J/g and superior thermal stability. Optical testing reported outstanding properties, with an optical transmittance of 45 % and a haze of 76 % at 800 nm. Our design featuring crossed-lamination not only achieved isotropic light distribution but also improved mechanical consistency and water resistance. Notably, our environmentally-simulated tests showcased remarkable thermal insulation properties, credited to a low thermal conductivity (0.34 W/mK) surpassing traditional glass, as well as phase-change functionality. Our pioneering multilayer transparent wood stands to revolutionize energy-efficient construction and elevate indoor thermal comfort.

Herein, we developed a reversible complexation mediated polymerization (RCMP) starting with a complex of iodine and organic salt as a deactivator and a thermal initiator for continuous regeneration of the organic salt activator. This novel polymerization method can be called as initiators for continuous activator regeneration (ICAR) RCMP, as inspired by the denomination of ICAR ATRP. The synthesis of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) ( M w / M n < 1.3) with good controllability was achieved via this technique when the concentration of the deactivator complex was as low as dozens of ppm. The studied three kinds of iodine complexes showed high control on the polymerization of MMA. The effects of initiator and deactivator complex concentration on the polymerization process were researched in detail. Furthermore, the accessibility of PMMA prepared by ICAR RCMP to chain extension and block copolymerization confirmed that this novel polymerization approach afforded polymers with high chain-end fidelity. The substantial decrease in the concentration of deactivator complex or activator plays a critical role for the production and application of well-defined polymer prepared by this method.

Paraelectric/ferroelectric bilayer composites are promising candidates for high-performance dielectric capacitors. However, the energy densities of these composites need to be further improved to satisfy the miniaturization of electronic devices. Herein, an Al2O3/P(VDF–HFP) buffer layer is inserted between a paraelectric PMMA layer and a ferroelectric P(VDF–HFP) layer, forming a novel trilayer structure. It is interesting to find that the buffer layer effectively alleviates the huge electric field gap between the P(VDF–HFP) layer and PMMA layer, yielding substantially improved breakdown strengths (>600 kV/mm), which are over 140% that of the bilayer P(VDF–HFP)/PMMA composite (∼425 kV/mm). In addition, the introduction of the buffer layer also results in improved interfacial polarization, hence, the moderately elevated permittivity. Consequently, a high energy density of 10.03 J/cm3, which is about 260% that of the bilayer P(VDF–HFP)/PMMA composite (∼3.9 J/cm3), is achieved at 600 kV/mm. This work offers a facile strategy to achieve dielectric composites with high breakdown strengths, which is illuminating for the design of high-voltage energy-storage capacitors.

Li-ion batteries (LIBs) with micron-sized silicon monoxide (SiO x ) anodes are promising, ascribed to their favorable cost affordability and remarkable theoretical capacity, while the huge volume expansion and inferior Li + /e − conductivity of SiO x have severely restricted their further development. Herein, a micron-sized SiO x @carbon nanotube (CNT)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) composite capsule is designed for advanced LIB anode via a novel Pickering emulsion template method. The volume variation of SiO x during (de)lithiation reactions is alleviated by the reserved space inside capsules, and the capsule shells of PMMA/CNT engage a significant Li + /e − conductivity as well. Besides, the activity of SiO x greatly remains due to the capsule protection and avoidance of high-temperature treatment. The experimental results indicate that the SiO x @CNT/PMMA composite anodes can present improved lithium storage abilities in aspects of capacity retention, rate performance, and coulombic efficiency. This proposed method hopes to provide a novel micron-scale structure design for Si-based anodes in LIBs.

Perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) have been regarded as one of the most promising candidate materials for next-generation display technology due to their remarkable optical performance. However, addressing the limitations of inherent instability and low luminescence efficiency of PeNC films is still a huge obstacle in its commercialization process. Herein, the low-cost and large-area perovskite nanocrystal composite films (NCFs) based on hexagonally distributed TiO 2 -based metasurface (inspired by the surface structure of butterfly wings) in combination with PeNCs encapsulated in PMMA matrix were fabricated. The photoluminescence intensity of perovskite NCFs can be enhanced by a maximum of 3.89 times based on the Purcell effect by tailoring to match the emission peaks of their PeNCs in various bands using the flexibility of metasurface design. The encapsulation of PMMA polymer and TiO 2 nanocavities also effectively enhanced the stability of PeNCs. Benefiting from these favorable characteristics, perovskite NCFs are applied to liquid crystal displays (LCDs) as color conversion layers, with color gamut reaching 122% of the NTSC standard and 180% of the commercial LCD screen, respectively, demonstrating that perovskite NCFs possess enormous potential in the high-end display fields. Furthermore, this metasurface fabrication process avoids complicated, time-consuming, and expensive process flow, laying the foundation for further commercialization beyond the laboratory.

Cs3Cu2I5 nanocrystals (NCs) are considered to be promising materials due to their high photoluminescence efficiency, lack of lead toxicity, and X-ray responsiveness. However, during the crystallization process, NCs are prone to agglomeration and exhibit uneven size distribution, resulting in several light scattering that severely affect their imaging resolution. Herein, we successfully developed a high-resolution scintillator film by growing copper-based perovskite NCs within a hybrid polymer matrix. By leveraging the ingenious integration of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), the size and distribution uniformity of Cs3Cu2I5 NCs can be effectively controlled. Consequently, a high spatial resolution of 14.3 lp mm–1 and a low detection limit of 105 nGy s–1 are achieved, and the scintillator film has excellent flexibility and stability. These results highlight the promising application of Cs3Cu2I5 scintillator films in low-cost, flexible, and high-performance medical imaging.

Nanoparticles including starch- graft -methylmethacrylate, starch- graft -(methylmethacrylate/methyl acrylate), starch- graft -(methyl methacrylate/butyl methacrylate) were synthesized via emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization and were blended with natural rubber latex at various mass ratios. Chemical structure of graft copolymers was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared. Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated the core-shell structures of the nanoparticles distributed uniformly around the natural rubble particles. The tensile strength of blend films was significantly enhanced by addition of graft copolymers. Besides, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy showed the blend film had smooth surface.
