Cost-effective methods for preparing ZnO nanostructures are of importance for the deployment of ZnO in many applications including n-type conduits, catalysts, nanophosphor, and optoelectronics. Herein, we present a room-temperature sol-gel method with the aid of ultrasonication to prepare white-emitting ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). X-ray diffraction and electron microscopic analyses revealed that the size and shape of ZnO NPs can be controlled simply by changing the concentration of the Zn precursor. The ZnO NPs had a broad photoluminescence emission, ranging from 450 nm to 800 nm, while their composite in PMMA matrix showed an enhancement in the red region induced by ZnO-PMMA interfacial band-bending effects. The results demonstrated herein promise a simple tool for control over size, shape, and emission of ZnO materials for diverse applications.

Cerium has been used as an implanted alloy additive for many years for it can enhance the mechanical properties of the alloy and restrain the corrosion of the implant. Moreover, cerium oxide nanoparticles are often used as an antibacterial material. However, there were few researches focusing on the antibacterial properties of Ce 3+ and Ce 4+ ions, instead of their corresponding oxide, as potential antibacterial coatings. Thus in this work, we loaded Ce ions into the porous structure of the ZIF-8 nanoparticles and co-deposited them with hydroxyapatite as a composite coating onto anodized titanium dioxide nanotubes array in order to test whether it can improve the anti-corrosion and antibacterial properties of the materials without affecting the biocompatibility.

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.

A novel biosensor based on electro-co-deposition of myoglobin (Mb), sodium alginate (SA), Fe 3 O 4 -graphene (Fe 3 O 4 -GR) composite on the carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) was fabricated using Nafion as the film forming material to improve the stability of protein immobilized on the electrode surface, and the modified electrode was abbreviated as Nafion/Mb-SA-Fe 3 O 4 -GR/CILE. FT-IR and UV–vis absorption spectra suggested that Mb could retain its native structure after being immobilized in the SA-Fe 3 O 4 -GR composite film. The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode was studied by cyclic voltammetry, and a pair of symmetric redox peaks appeared in the cyclic voltammograms, indicating that direct electron transfer of Mb was realized on the modified electrode, which was ascribed to the good electrocatalytic capability of Fe 3 O 4 -GR composite, the good biocompatibility of SA and the synergistic effects of SA and Fe 3 O 4 -GR composite. The electrochemical parameters of the electron transfer number ( n ), the charge transfer coefficient ( α ) and the electron transfer rate constant ( k
s ) were calculated as 0.982, 0.357 and 0.234 s −1 , respectively. The modified electrode exhibited good electrocatalytic ability to the reduction of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) with wide linear range from 1.4 to 119.4 mmol/L, low detection limit as 0.174 mmol/L (3 σ ), good stability and reproducibility.

Effect of the molecular structure of lignin-based polyoxyethylene ether (EHL–PEG) on enzymatic hydrolysis of Avicel and corn stover was investigated. With the increase of PEG contents and molecular weight of EHL–PEG, glucose yield of corn stover increased. EHL–PEG enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover significantly at buffer pH 4.8–5.5. Glucose yield of corn stover at 20% solid content increased from 32.8% to 63.8% by adding EHL–PEG, while that with PEG4600 was 54.2%. Effect of EHL–PEG on enzymatic hydrolysis kinetics of cellulose film was studied by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). An enhancing mechanism of EHL–PEG on enzymatic hydrolysis kinetics of cellulose was proposed. Cellulase aggregates dispersed by EHL–PEG excavated extensive cavities into the surface of cellulose film, making the film become more loose and exposed. After the maximum enzymatic hydrolysis rate, the film was mainly peeled off layer by layer until equilibrium.

The adsorption-catalysis synergy for accelerated conversion of polysulfides is critical toward the electrochemical stability of lithium-sulfur battery (LSB). Herein, a non-metallic polymer network with anion receptor units, trifluoromethanesulfonyl (CF 3 SO 2 -) substituted aza-ether, was in-situ integrated on PE separator, working as an efficient host for anchoring lithium thiophosphates (LPS) as redox mediators and polysulfides through Lewis acid-base interaction. The anchored LPS on the modified PE separator displayed a robust chemical adsorption ability towards polysulfides through the formation of S S bond. Meanwhile, LPS decreased the energy barrier of Li 2 S nucleation and promoted redox reaction kinetics. The battery with LPS decorated separator revealed a long cycling lifespan with a per cycle decay of 0.056 % after 600 cycles, and a competitive initial capacity of 889.1 mAh/g when the of sulfur cathode increased to 3 mg cm −2 . This work developed a new design strategy to promote the utilization of lithium phosphorus sulfide compounds in LSB.

The developing sulfide solid electrolyte is a promising way to overcome shuttle effect of polysulfide in the traditional liquid Li-S battery. However, an air stable sulfide solid electrolyte and competitive solid–solid interface structure must be constructed firstly. Herein, we have designed an organic–inorganic multi-scale composite electrolytes to overcome the interfacial issues of solid state Li-S batteries (SSLSBs). The organic–inorganic composite electrolyte consists of a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) and an oxygen doped inorganic sulfide solid electrolyte. The O doped sulfide solid electrolyte improves its chemical stability and suppresses the lithium dendrites. A thin GPE film protects the crystal structural stability during cycles and greatly enhances the performance of O doped sulfide solid electrolyte due to the GPE not only constructs soft interface contact between S cathode and solid electrolyte, but also builds lithium ion transport paths by ionic liquid between them. Those SSLSBs display a very good cycling performance with the specific capacity of 1023 mAh/g after 50 cycles at 60 °C and 541 mAh/g after 150 cycles at 30 °C under same rate of 0.1 C. This study demonstrates that the development of advanced solid-state Li-S battery needs to fully integrate a number of technical advantages.

Low-molecular weight oligo(carbonate-ether) diols are important raw materials for polyurethane formation, which with tunable carbonate unit content (CU) may endow new thermal and mechanical performances to polyurethane. Herein, facile synthesis of oligo(carbonate-ether) diols with number average molecular weight ( M n ) below 2000 g mol −1 and CU tunable between 40% and 75% are realized in high activity by immortal copolymerization of CO 2 /propylene oxide (PO) using zinc-cobalt double metal cyanide complex (Zn-Co-DMCC) in the presence of sebacic acid (SA). M n of the oligomer is in good linear relationship to the mole ratio of PO and SA (PO/SA) and hence can be precisely controlled by adjusting PO/SA. Besides, the molecular weight distribution is quite narrow due to the rapid reversible chain transfer in the immortal copolymerization. High pressure and low temperature are favorable for raising CU. In all the reactions, the weight fraction of propylene carbonate ( W PC ) can even be controlled as low as 2.0 wt %, and the catalytic activity of Zn-Co-DMCC is above 1.0 kgg −1 cat. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Paramount attention has been paid on solid polymer electrolytes due to their potential in enhancement of energy density as well as improvement of safety. Herein, the composite electrolytes consisting of Li-salt-free polyethylene oxides and 200 nm-sized Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 particles interfacially wetted by [BMIM]TF 2 N of 1.8 μL cm −2 have been prepared. Such wetted ionic liquid remains the solid state of membrane electrolytes and decreases the interface impedance between the electrodes and the electrolytes. There is no release of the liquid phase from the PEO matrix when the pressure of 5.0 × 10 4 Pa being applied for 24 h. The interfacially wetted membrane electrolytes show the conductivity of 2.2 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 20 °C, which is one order of magnitude greater than that of the membranes without the wetted ionic liquids. The conduction mechanism is related to a large number of lithium ions releasing from Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 particles and the improved conductive paths along the ion-liquid-wetted interfaces between the polymer matrix and ceramic grains. When the membranes being used in the solid-state LiFePO 4 /Li and LiFe 0.15 Mn 0.85 PO 4 /Li cells at 25 °C, the excellent rate capability and superior cycle stability has been shown. The results provide a new prospect for solid polymer electrolytes used for room-temperature solid-state lithium batteries .

A new donor–acceptor conjugated polymer (PBDTPO-FBT), which consists of a fluorinated benzothiadiazole (FBT) electron-acceptor unit and an electron-donor segment of alkoxylphenyl substituted benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDTPO), was synthesized according to the Stille cross-coupling reaction. The resulting copolymer was characterized by TGA , GPC , UV–vis absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry measurements. PBDTPO-FBT possesses good thermal stability with 5% weight loss temperature of 410 °C and shows broad absorption at 300–800 nm with an optical bandgap of 1.53 eV. Cyclic voltammetry measurement exhibits HOMO and LUMO energy levels of −5.43 eV and −3.72 eV, respectively. The hole mobility of PBDTPO-FBT:PC 71 BM (1:1, w/w) reaches up to 3.8 × 10 −3 cm 2 /V/s by the space-charge-limited current (SCLC) method. By using 3% 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) as the solvent additive, the polymer solar cell with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PBDTPO-FBT:PC 71 BM (1:1, w/w)/Ca/Al demonstrates a power conversion efficiency of 2.70% with V oc = 0.70 V, J sc = 7.23 mA/cm 2 and FF = 47.08%, under the illumination of AM 1.5 G, 100 mW/cm 2 .

Inducing highly oriented 2D nanosheets to create a mussel-inspired interface phase on the carbon fiber (CF) surface to enhance its composites’ strength and toughness has become a great challenge. In this study, a novel coating was synthesized to induce the graphene oxide (GO) oriented distributed on the CF surface while constructing a biomimetic "Brick-and-Mortar" structural interface phase, which simultaneously promoted the strength and toughness of CF composites . Acting as a sizing agent, di-pyrene terminated PEG (py-PEG-py) facilitates abundant π-π* stacking interactions, and enables flexible chain segment motion during interface fracture of composites, as well as effectively improving the toughness of composites. Eventually, the formation of a superior mechanism on the CF surface results in remarkable properties for composites, including an interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of 99.3 MPa, interlaminar shear strength of 93.2 MPa, and flexural strength of 1430 MPa. The tensile strength and toughness increased to 1777 MPa and 45.0 MJm −3 , respectively. Simultaneously, the continuous thermal conduction pathway produced by the oriented attachment of GO on the CF surface increased in-plane thermal conductivity . The reinforcing mechanisms of the unique mussel-inspired coating were systematically investigated. This work opens up an effective and scalability avenue for obtaining high-performance CF composites.

Inspired by the versatile adhesion capability of marine adhesive proteins, core-shell structured polydopamine-coated layered double hydroxide (LDH@PDA) were prepared successfully by in-situ growing PDA on the surface of MgAl-LDH with a high aspect ratio . LDH@PDA/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanocomposites were prepared by blending LDH@PDA and pure PCL via solution casting method to obtain homogeneous films. The results of thermal analysis confirmed that LDH@PDA can act as a nucleating agent . And thermal stability of nanocomposites was improved due to core-shell structured LDH@PDA. With incorporation of as low as 1 wt% of LDH@PDA, a 20% increase in tensile strength (41.1 MPa), 26% increase in elongation at break (772%) and 26% reduction in the oxygen relative permeability were achieved. The improvement in the mechanical and gas barrier properties of nanocomposites at low filler loading was attributed to the strong interfacial interaction of LDH@PDA wtih the PCL matrix.
