Optical encryption provides a significant implementation strategy for information security, which can be ascribed to multichannel, simple operation, and high security. Multiple responsive luminescent material has emerged as an ideal candidate for optical encryption, owing to intelligent responsive ability and unclonable security. Herein, a structural doping strategy is developed in the layer-by-layer self-assembly process to elevate the maneuverability of light-emitting color and mode. By encapsulating lanthanide doped inorganic matrix and layered hydroxide with PMA, the recognizable red-orange fluorescence can be produced in the invisible region, and realizes the conversion of yellow and green fluorescence in visible region. Meanwhile, both excitation source and emission color can be used as distinguishable encryption means, which enables structural doping complex to be multiplexed and encoded with high capacity and complexity. Furthermore, asymmetrically and symmetrically coded flexible labels with specific color sequence are prepared by brushing process, and specific encryption key are set to ensure the nonlinearity of cryptosystem. Through the integration of dual-mode and adjustable light response codes constructed by structural doping strategy, multidimensional high-level information encryption can be realized, which opens up a deep exploration in the field of information security for the application of multifunctional optical properties of light response materials.

A biocompatible fiber-optic pH sensor based on Fresnel reflection technique and a sensing coating is presented. Sodium alginate and polyethylenimine are alternatively deposited on the sensing fiber end to form the sensing coating via a layer-by-layer electrostatic self-assembly technique. An optical switch is added to the measurement system for the convenience of fast calibration. A linear, monotonic and fast response in a large pH range (from pH 5.87 to pH 10.55) is obtained with the resolution of 0.01 pH unit. The sensitivity of the pH sensor is 0.018 R.I.U/pH. It is not influenced by fluctuations of light source.

This study introduces a facile method for the controlled growth of addressable planar arrays of highly luminescent, catalyst-free 1,4-bis(5-phenyloxazol-2-yl)benzene (POPOP) nanowires. By employing a hollow mask over a faceted sapphire substrate, simultaneous control over the position and orientation of the nanowires is achieved through a mask-confined graphoepitaxial growth, offering substantial advantages over traditional post-growth assembly techniques. High-temperature annealing creates parallel nanogrooves on the sapphire surface, inducing a graphoepitaxial effect that aligns the nanowires with a consistent [102] crystallographic axis. The hollow mask further aids in precisely localizing nanowire growth through its shadowing effect. Optoelectronic investigations reveal that these nanowires emit intense and stable blue photoluminescence at room temperature, with a broad spectrum spanning from 400 to 600 nm. This luminescence is achieved through excitation by continuous-wave ultraviolet light or two-photon absorption using femtosecond infrared light. Notably, the emission quantum efficiency of POPOP nanowires reaches 59 %, a remarkable improvement over the 12 % observed in powder counterparts when excited with 405 nm light. Transit absorption spectra indicate that ground state bleaching and excited state absorption display consistent kinetics within a 100 ps time window, suggesting the same origin from singlet excitons. The precise alignment and positioning of these nanowires make them viable for in-situ integration into photodetectors with rapid ultraviolet light responses. This study advances the controlled growth of catalyst-free nanowire arrays and enhances the understanding of the optoelectronic properties of POPOP nanowires.

Light absorption range, recycling stability and charge transfer efficiency are key to the performance of photocatalytic material. Based on these targets, a Al doped TiO 2 catalyst was synthesized by the evaporation-induced process, after processed by NaBH 4 reduction, the black TiO 2 doped with Al was finally prepared. Uv-vis DRS, EPR and XPS analyses confirm the expanded light absorption window (300 nm - 1000 nm) and the introduction of abundant oxygen vacancy after the reduction process. The final product BTiO 2 /Al-0.5 has a degradation rate of about 84 % over the tetracycline hydrochloride within 60 minutes, the reaction rate constant (k) is 10.6 times higher than the unreduced sample. The dramatic change of photocatalytic ability can be assigned to the broadened visible light absorption , increased charge separation efficiency, narrowed band gap and defect-enriched oxygen vacancy . This work offers insights into the fabrication of TiO 2 catalyst and the introduction of oxygen defect.

Novel three-dimensional Ag nanoflowers (3DAN) were successfully synthesized through a facile Cu2+ mediated solution method using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), which serves as both a reducing agent and a solvent at room temperature. It was found that the introduction of a trace amount of Cu2+ could greatly slow the rate of the Ag+ reaction and thus this process effectively reduced the growth speed of Ag nanoparticles allowing 3DAN to be formed. The mechanism underlying the self-assembly process and shape evolution of 3DAN were systematically investigated by varying reaction time. X-Ray powder diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the obtained products. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to assess the chemical state and surface composition of the 3DAN. UV-vis absorption spectra of the products collected from the reaction solution at various stages were taken to study their optical properties. In the measurement of surface-enhanced Raman scattering using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as the probe, the 3DAN exhibited a significant enhancement factor, indicating their potential applications in biosensing and nanodevices.

PS microspheres emulsions with different PS diameters of 207 and 378 nm were prepared by using an emulsifier-free polymerization method. A novel secondary self-assembly method which combined the spin coating and the lifting-up method was used to prepare the close-packed PS MCC films. During the process, the PS MCC film was firstly assembled on a glass substrate by a spin coating technique. Secondly, the obtained PS MCC film was transferred on the air-water interface by immersing the PS glass substrate in water using a dip-coater. Thirdly, the floating close-packed PS MCC films on the air-water interface was transferred to a new glass substrate by using a lifting-up method. During the spin-coating and the self-assembly process, some SDS solution was added in the PS films to improve the uniformity of the PS layer. Effects of the spin-coating speeds, the SDS solution concentration and the lifting-up rates on the morphology of PS MCC films have been discussed. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the morphological properties of the PS colloidal crystal films. Results indicate that a relatively close-packed and large scale PS MCC films can be obtained when the spinning speed is 2000 rpm for 60 s, the SDS solution concentration is 2 wt% and the lifting-up rate is 2 mm/min. Furthermore, the polydimethylsiloxane soft mold was replicated from the-fabricated PS MCC films and was then imprinted onto the photosensitive hybrid film under UV-irradiation and thus the micro-lens arrays built in the photosensitive hybrid sol–gel film were obtained.

The incorporation of hydroxy groups into long-chain quaternary ammonium surfactants can enhance their solubility and confer other desirable properties; however, the systematic investigation on the solution properties and the influence of molecular structures was less documented. In this work, two saturated C 18 -tailed quaternary ammonium surfactants with dual hydroxyethyl moieties, namely N , N -bis(2-hydroxyethyl)- N -methyloctadecan-1-aminium iodide (HEOAI) and N , N -bis(2-hydroxypropyl)- N -methyloctadecan-1-aminium iodide (HPOAI), were designed and synthesized. We investigated and compared their Krafft temperature ( T k ), surface activities, self-assembly behaviors, and rheological properties. Our findings demonstrate that the introduction of hydroxyethyl groups dramatically improves the solubility and surface activities. The T k of HEOAI and HPOAI is approximately 50 °C lower than that of the corresponding surfactant octadecyl trimethylammonium iodide. Both surfactants exhibit lower critical micelle concentration and equilibrium surface tension compared to those of corresponding conventional quaternary ammonium surfactant. This should be ascribed to the formation of hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl groups and water molecules. Moreover, HPOAI shows even better solubility and surface activities than HEOAI does. Additionally, the presence of two more methyl groups for HPOAI enhances its ability to form worm-like micelles in pure water. However, HEOAI shows better salt and temperature resistance for maintaining stability of worm-like micelles. A solution containing 50 mM HEOAI with 10 % NaCl exhibits temperature tolerance up to around 80 °C, indicating potential application as fracturing fluid for shallow and medium oil/gas reservoirs. These findings contribute to designing surfactants with improved solubility and diverse properties.

Herein, we report a simple and attractive self-assembly strategy for preparing graphene oxide–multiwalled carbon nanotube–(1-pyrenemethylamine)–gold (GO–MWCNT–PMA–Au) nanocomposites using 1-pyrenemethylamine (PMA) as a coupling agent. The morphology and composition of the nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Further, a non-enzymatic nitrite sensor was fabricated by immobilizing GO–MWCNT–PMA–Au nanocomposites on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). To obtain the optimal electrochemical experimental conditions, the effects of pH value and the volume of the as-prepared Au nanoparticle suspension were carefully investigated. Its electrochemical sensing properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The electrochemical investigation showed that the GO–MWCNT–PMA–Au nanocomposites exhibited good catalytic performance for the oxidation of nitrite. The nitrite electrochemical sensor presented a wide linear range from 2.0 × 10−6 to 1.0 × 10−2 mol L−1, a high sensitivity of 483.51 μA mM−1 cm−2 and a low detection limit of 0.67 μmol L−1 at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 (S/N = 3). It also exhibited good anti-interference capability and stability. This paper provides a self-assembly strategy for preparing nanocomposites which are used to construct improved electrochemical sensors.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) tethered fluorinated diblock copolymers including linear-shaped ap-POSS–PMMA-b-PDFHM and star-shaped s-POSS–(PMMA-b-PDFHM)16 are synthesized by octakis(dibromoethyl)POSS (POSS-(Br)16) and aminopropylisobutyl POSS (ap-POSS) initiating methylmethacrylate (MMA) and dodecafluoroheptylmethacrylate (DFHM). In THF solution, both diblock copolymers could self-assemble into 200 nm core/shell micelles with a POSS/PDFHM core and 70–80 nm PMMA shell. These micelles are able to produce typical films with a fluorine-rich top-surface and POSS-gathered sub-surface. Although PDFHM segments and POSS cages are competitively migrating onto the film surface, the migration of the PDFHM segments is actually improved by the POSS cages. Comparatively, the surface of the ap-POSS–PMMA-b-PDFHM film is much more rough and fluorine-rich than the s-POSS–(PMMA-b-PDFHM)16 film, therefore, the ap-POSS–PMMA-b-PDFHM film has higher viscoelasticity and higher oleophobicity, but a little lower hydrophobicity than the s-POSS–(PMMA-b-PDFHM)16 film. The hydrophobic application of both linear- and star-shaped topologies to glass, cotton fabric and stone substrates reveals that the treated samples exhibit superhydrophobicity for the cotton fabric (>150°) and obvious hydrophobicity for the stone and glass (>135°) in terms of resistance to water and other liquids like coffee, milk, coke and green tea. It is believed that the properties of self-assembled films and the hydrophobic applications are related closely to the topologies of block copolymers.

The preparation of high specific-capacity pseudocapacitive transition-metal-oxide/hydroxide (TMH) materials into transparent micro-structure electrodes is a great challenge and has become the bottleneck restricting the performance of transparent flexible supercapacitors . Beyond that, extending the operating voltage window is an urgent need for improving energy density . Here, Co(OH) 2 nanosheets and amorphous FeOOH nanowires were prepared into transparent films through a simple and scalable bio-inspired method at the air-solution interface. Both nanostructures are enwrapped in graphene shells (Co@Gr-TFandFe@Gr-TF) for use as transparent asymmetric pseudocapacitive electrodes. The unique encapsulation structures (1) provide pseudocapacitive electrode materials, especially an amorphous FeOOH structure cathode, (2) build up rapid three-dimensional electron and ion transport pathways together with the underlying ITO layer, (3) alleviate the exfoliation and dissolution of the active materials into electrolyte, and (4) extend the potential window of the FeOOH cathode from −0.8 ∼ 0 V to −1.2 ∼ 0 V with minimal cycling stability degradation. The asymmetric transparent and flexible supercapacitor based on Co@Gr-TF//Fe@Gr-TF operated at 1.8 V exhibits good transparency (50.5% at 550 nm), high specific capacitance (25.5 mF cm −2 , one order higher than the maximum value reported for FFT-GP), and high energy density (1.04 mWh cm −3 , comparable to that of nontransparent devices) as well as a long cycle life (10 000 cycles) with high-capacity retention (83.5%).

In our work, we achieve the multi-component assembly of novel kinds of photofunctional hybrid materials with polyoxometalates (POMs, Na 9 EuW 10 O 36 ·32H 2 O (EuW 10 O 36 9 - denoted as EuW10)) and benzoate (4-aminobenzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, 4-mercaptobenzoate) modified mesoporous silica through imidazolium ionic liquid (IL, 1-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilylpropyl) compound as double functional linkage. Using Pluronic P123 surfactant as a template, benzoate functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous host is synthesized as result of the co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and benzoate modified siloxane as precursor. We fabricate POM into the framework of functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous silica with IL. Here IL behaves as double linkage, which both interact with PMO with electrostatic force through ion exchange and form covalent bond to the functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous silica through its alkoxy group after cohydroxylysis and copolycondensation process. Tb 3+ is further introduced into the above hybrid system through coordination bond to carboxylate group of benzoate unit, which can be expected to modify luminescence color and to obtain close white luminescence. The physical characterizations prove these hybrid materials possess high surface area, uniform mesoporous structure, good crystallization and relatively excellent luminescence properties.

Supramolecular self-assembly offers a feasible route for nanopatterning and functionality. The construction and precise control of selective adsorption at the molecular scale play essential roles in fundamental sciences and practical applications. Molecular tiling such as trihexagonal tiling Kagome networks has potential promising chemical and physical properties. Distorted Kagome-like networks controllable fabrication is possible by coupling molecular functional groups and substrate atoms. A chiral Kagome-like network was constructed using IFDO ([1,2-b]fluorene-6,12-dione) as precursor molecules complemented with molecular beam epitaxy and annealing strategies. Revealing arrangements of the assembled network of O-Cu metal coordination linked Kagome-like networks on the Cu(1 1 1) surface and their assembly mechanisms and cavity characteristics were explored in detail through scanning tunneling microscopy combined with density functional theory. Based on the electronic state difference between the hole center of the network and the molecular backbone, the host–guest network was successfully prepared by co-depositing C 60 molecules. Kagome-like networks could as an efficient template for regulating the adsorption configuration of C 60 . Our results demonstrate a controllable and efficient method to design atomically precise ordered host–guest assemblies on solid surfaces, advancing the approach is yet another step toward the fabrication of molecular devices.
