Novel sulfonated poly (fluorenyl ether ketone) with pendant quaternary ammonium groups (SPFEKA) was successfully synthesized by one-pot copolymerization of bis(4-fluoro-3-sulfophenyl)sulfone disodium salt, 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone, bisphenol fluorene and 2,2′-dimethylaminemethylene-9,9′-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) fluorene (DABPF). The chemical structures were confirmed by FT-IR, and 1 H NMR. The thermal properties were fully investigated by TGA . The synthesized copolymers SPFEKAs are soluble in aprotic solvents, and can be cast into membranes on a glass plate from their N,N′-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solution. A new kind of amphoteric ion exchange membrane (AIEM) was obtained by immersed SPFEKA into 1 M sulfuric acid. The proton conductivities of these membranes are comparable to the most reported sulfonated polymers under the same conditions. The permeability of vanadium ions in vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) was effectively suppressed by introducing quaternary ammonium groups for Donnan exclusion effect . AIEM-20% possess a only 4.4% vanadium ion permeability of Nafion 115. Cell performance tests showed that the VRB assembled with AIEM-20% shows the highest coulombic efficiency (CE) at the current density of 50 mA/cm 2 , because of its lowest VO 2+ permeability. In conclusion, these ionomers could be promising candidates for ion-exchange membranes for VRB applications.

Organic sulfur compounds have broad applications in biology, medicine and material sciences and intensive efforts have been devoted to developing mild and general C–S bond-forming methods. However, a mild, transition-metal-free, direct C–H bond functionalization method remains elusive. Here, we report the use of an internal oxidant-directing strategy to achieve this goal. The cascade reactions described here show excellent chemoselectivity and a wide substrate scope for both oxyamines and sulfenylation reagents. This study enlarges the synthesis toolbox for preparing structurally diverse sulfilimines under mild conditions.

Copper phyllosilicate has been synthesized from a solution of sodium silicate and copper nitrate by co-precipitation under acidic conditions followed by reduction under H 2 flow for using it as the Cu/SiO 2 catalyst. The catalyst has been characterized by XRD, XPS, FTIR and Raman spectra, EDS, BET, and TEM. It is confirmed that only copper phyllosilicate and SiO 2 exist in the catalyst precursor, and there has been no CuO. Physical and chemical properties of Cu/SiO 2 catalyst have been evaluated. The Cu/SiO 2 catalyst has not only a large specific surface area and abundant mesopores but also the advantages of high dispersion of copper nanoparticles and the combination of Cu 0 and Cu + . The catalyst demonstrates high activity and selectivity in the reaction of 2-butanol dehydrogenation to methyl ethyl ketone.

TiO 2 nanocrystals are widely used in photoanodes for quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs) owing to their chemical stability and suitable energy band structure. However, surface defects and grain boundaries of TiO 2 nanocrystals photoanodes allow high surface charge recombination, which limits the performance of QDSCs. In this work, an ultrathin TiO 2 layer is introduced to the surface of TiO 2 photoanodes by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The ultrathin layer not only reduces the surface defects of TiO 2 nanoparticles and strengthens the connection between adjacent nanoparticles to suppress the charge recombination for improving the electron collection efficiency (η cc ), but also increases the surface energy of photoanodes to load more quantum dots (QDs) for enhancing the light harvesting efficiency (LHE). As a result, the solar cell based on CdS/CdSe QDs with ALD treatment exhibits an efficiency of 5.07% that is much higher than that of the cells without modification (4.03%).

In order to simultaneously improve the dispersibility of graphene in the bismaleimide (BMI) resin and the interfacial interaction between them, the polytriazine@RGO nanocomposite (PTZ@RGO) with terminal amine was obtained by the method of one-step precipitation polymerization. The PTZ@RGO hybrid nanocomposite was then chosen as filler to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of BMI resin. Through effective surface modification, the compatibility and interface strength between graphene and BMI matrix were significantly improved, leading to the flexural strength , impact strength , anti-friction, wear resistance and thermal stability of PTZ@RGO/BMI composites were significantly improved as compared to those of neat BMI resin and RGO/BMI composites. The other properties including hardness and thermal properties of composites were all improved with increasing amount of PTZ@RGO fillers. These high performance BMI composites have a great potential for application in aerospace, mechanical engineering and other automobile brake devices.

Methanol is an attractive oxygenate increasingly used as primary fuel for dual-fuel combustion technology yielding beneficial thermal-efficiency and emissions in modern engines. As such, it is significant to fundamentally understand the autoignition behavior of methanol/diesel mixtures. This study measured the ignition delay times (IDTs) of methanol/diesel blends with different mixing ratios (30%, 50%, 70% methanol by mol.) on a heated shock tube and a heated rapid compression machine at temperatures of 650−1450 K, pressures of 6−20 bar, and equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0. The typical two-stage ignition characteristics with the negative temperature coefficient response were observed for dual-fuel mixtures. In general, both the total and first-stage IDTs decrease with the increment of pressure and equivalence ratio as well as diesel proportion in mixtures. The simulation results performed with a published detailed mechanism in conjunction with a tri-component diesel surrogate demonstrate generally good agreement with the experimental data at all test conditions. Moreover, a crossover of IDTs occurs at a higher temperature (~1500 K) for varying equivalence ratios, and experiment and simulation both exhibit a non-linear mixing effect of methanol addition on diesel ignition. Interestingly, simulation results clearly suggest a crossover (~940 K) for mixtures with varying methanol content at an intermediate-temperature, where the IDT of the mixture with a lower methanol ratio becomes longer as the temperature is higher than that of the crossover. Furthermore, brute-force sensitivity analyses assisted with reaction path analysis were conducted to gain deeper insights into the autoignition chemistry of dual-fuel mixtures, especially for the chemical interaction between both fuels during the low-temperature oxidation process . It is found that methanol hardly generates •OH, whereas •OH is mainly produced by the low-temperature reaction pathways of diesel. Thus, •OH is the bridge for both fuels during the ignition process. At the high methanol ratio, the H-abstraction of diesel is mainly via •HO 2 while CH 3 OH consumes a large percentage of •OH. Consequently, the competition between methanol and diesel for •OH radicals inhibits the overall reactivity of reaction network. In addition, the original data reported here lay a foundation for the development and validation of more accurate and robust dual-fuel kinetic schemes.

In this article, we constructed an electrochemical sensor for highly sensitive determination of β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) using the poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-functionalized reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite modified electrode (PDDA-rGO/GCE). The nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectrometry, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The experimental results demonstrated that the fabricated sensor exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity on the oxidation of NADH with a decreased about 200 mV in overpotential and 5.0-fold increment in the oxidation peak current compared to a bare GCE. Applying cyclic voltammetry, a wide linear range from 1.0 × 10 −7 to 2.9 × 10 −3 M with low limit of detection (LOD) of 3.4 × 10 −8 M and high sensitivity of 463.3 μA mM −1 cm −2 were obtained, which was superior to other NADH electrochemical sensors reported previously. Furthermore, the fabricated NADH sensor possessed excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. The oxidation mechanism of NADH at the PDDA-rGO/GCE was also discussed in detail.
A simple NADH sensing platform based on PDDA-rGO composite is constructed, which exhibits an ultra-low detection limit ( 3.4×10-8 M) towards the oxidation of NADH, and the electrochemical reaction mechanism of NADH is discussed in detail.

Supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs), owing to their capacities in harnessing physicochemical properties of ionic liquid for exceptional CO 2 solubility, have emerged as a promising platform for CO 2 extraction. Despite great achievements, existing SILMs suffer from poor structural and performance stability under high-pressure or long-term operations, significantly limiting their applications. Herein, a one-step and in situ interfacial polymerization strategy is proposed to elaborate a thin, mechanically-robust, and highly-permeable polyamide armor on the SILMs to effectively protect ionic liquid within porous supports, allowing for intensifying the overall stability of SILMs without compromising CO 2 separation performance. The armored SILMs have a profound increase of breakthrough pressure by 105% compared to conventional counterparts without armor, and display high and stable operating pressure exceeding that of most SILMs previously reported. It is further demonstrated that the armored SILMs exhibit ultrahigh ideal CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of about 200 and excellent CO 2 permeation of 78 barrers upon over 150 h operation, as opposed to the full failure of CO 2 separation performance within 36 h using conventional SILMs. The design concept of armor provides a flexible and additional dimension in developing high-performance and durable SILMs, pushing the practical application of ionic liquids in separation processes.

The hydrophobic modification of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) was carried out via free radical polymerization using methyl methacrylate (MMA) as the monomer to improve the compatibility between CNF and poly lactic acid (PLA). Followed by the preparation of the novel nanocomposites in combination of the organic montmorillonite and the substrate. The resulting nanocomposites were then coated on paper surface using a cast-coating process in an attempt to improve the barrier properties towards water vapor and oxygen. In addition, the composite films are prepared via a solution casting method. The water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), water vapor permeability (WVP), oxygen transmission rate (OTR), and tensile strength of the as-prepared films were systematically measured. The corresponding results demonstrated that the WVTR, WVP and OTR decreased with the addition of a certain content of MCNF in coatings. 0.2 wt% MCNF is the optimum content, showing the best gas resistance and tensile performance. The lowest value of WVTR and WVP are 10.30 g/(m 2 ⋯24 h) and 3306.58 g⋯μm/(m 2 ⋯24 h) for films with 0.2 wt% MCNF added, which is 88.23% and 26.05% lower than that of PLA composite film without NFC.

Electrode materials with hollow micro/nanostructures and high electrical conductivity are important for achieving high-power supercapacitors, especially those with super-fast charging/discharging. TiN, which can be easily obtained from TiO2, is regarded as a high-power supercapacitor material. Here, we report that a nanoscale Kirkendall effect is triggered by surface branches on TiO2 nanowires, which then transform into hollow TiN nanotrees during a thermal nitridation process. The surface branches play a key role in accelerating the initial reaction, which forms a uniform, continuous surface TiN layer and induces the Kirkendall effect via surface diffusion. The hollow TiN nanotrees have a high surface area, porous structure, and high electrical conductivity. The constructed symmetric supercapacitors exhibit high areal and volumetric energy density, super-fast charge/discharge ability, and good capacitance retention up to 350 000 cycles. This work provides a new method to synthesize hollow TiN nanostructures and demonstrates their advantages in achieving high-power energy storage devices.

Polypropylene (PP)/polyolefin elastomer (POE) blends and MgO/PP/POE nanocomposites were fabricated by melt blending. The morphology, mechanical, and electrical properties of the nanocomposites were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the surface-modified MgO nanoparticles were well dispersed in the polymer matrix at low loadings of less than 3 phr. X-ray diffraction demonstrated that the crystalline phases of PP in the composites were changed and that the β phase significantly increased. An examination of the electrical properties revealed that the direct-current (dc) electric breakdown strength and space-charge suppression effect were remarkably improved by the introduction of the surface-modified MgO nanoparticles. In addition, obvious enhancements in the tensile modulus and strength were obtained as a result of the synergistic toughening of the POE and MgO nanoparticles. Thus, MgO/PP/POE nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical and electrical properties have great potential to be used as recyclable insulation materials for high-voltage dc cables with large transmission capacities and high operating temperatures. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The development of organic lithium batteries (OLBs) offers a promising opportunity for the advancement of green and sustainable energy storage systems. However, organic cathode materials face challenges in terms of conductivity, electrochemical activity, and dissolution. Here, we address these limitations by introducing a sulfur-linked carbonyl compound called poly(dichlorobenzoquinone sulfide) (PDBS), which is polymerized in situ on reduced graphene oxide by a mixed solvent thermal method. The resulting carbonyl compound electrode materials exhibit favorable properties as organic cathode materials for OLBs. After 4000 cycles at a current density of 1000 mA g −1 , the carbonyl compound electrodes exhibit a discharge capacity of 102 mAh g −1 . This remarkable performance indicates excellent stability and long cycle life, which are crucial for practical applications. These results suggest that PDBS, a designable sulfur-linked carbonyl compound, holds great promise as an effective organic cathode material for OLBs. In addition, this work provides valuable insights into improving the electrochemical performance of organic cathode materials.
