A consolidated ionothermal strategy was developed for the polymerization of thermally unstable nitriles to construct high performance materials with permanent porosity, and carbazole, dibenzofuran, and dibenzothiophene were separately introduced into covalent triazine-based networks to investigate the effects of heterocycles on the gas adsorption performance. Three nitriles, namely 3,6-dicyanocarbazole, 3,6-dicyanodibenzofuran, and 3,6-dicyanodibenzothiophene, were designed and synthesized, which were readily converted to heat-resistant intermediates at a moderate temperature and then polymerized to create highly porous poly(triazine) networks instead of the traditional one-step procedure. This documents an improved strategy for the successful construction of heterocyclic-functional triazine-based materials. The chemical structures of monomers and polymers were confirmed by 1H NMR, FTIR, and elemental analysis. Such polymers with high physical–chemical stability and comparable BET surface areas can uptake 1.44 wt % H2 at 77 K/1 bar and 14.0 wt % CO2 at 273 K/1 bar and present a high selectivity for gas adsorption of CO2 (CO2/N2 ideal selectivity up to 45 at 273K/1.0 bar). The nitrogen- and oxygen-rich characteristics of carbazole and dibenzofuran feature the networks strong affinity for CO2 and thereby high CO2 adsorption capacity. This also helps to thoroughly understand the influence of pore structure and chemical composition on the adsorption properties of small gas molecules.

By varying different solvents, WO 3 nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanoflakes were synthesized via facile solvothermal processes without structure-directing agent. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements. The effect of the polarity of organic solvents used in the synthesis procedure on the morphologies of as-synthesized WO 3 materials was proposed. Gas sensors based on the synthesized products were fabricated and their gas sensing properties were tested towards a variety of target gases. The results indicated that the sensor based on WO 3 nanoparticles exhibited excellent selectivity, better response and recovery behavior and much higher sensitivity toward Cl 2 compared to those based on WO 3 nanorods, and nanoflakes, although three samples have similar specific surface areas. These characteristics are suggested to arise from good crystallinity and high concentration of oxygen vacancy on the surface of WO 3 nanoparticles.

This work describes the detection of trace hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas through analyses of the resonance frequency signal from quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors coated with polyaniline (PANI) functionalized polyamide 6 (PA 6) (PANI-PA 6) nanofiber-net-binary (NNB) structured membranes. The PA 6 NNB substrate comprising nanofibers and spider-web-like nano-nets fabricated by a versatile electro-spinning/netting (ESN) process offered an ideal interface for the uniform PANI functionalization and enhanced sensing performance. Benefiting from the large specific surface area, high porosity, and strong adhesive force to the QCM electrode of the PANI-PA 6 NNB membranes, the developed HCl-selective sensors exhibited a rapid response, good reproducibility and stability, and low detection limit (7 ppb) at room temperature. Additionally, the PANI-PA 6 NNB sensing membranes presented visible color changes upon cycled exposure to HCl and ammonia, suggesting their potential application in the development of colorimetric sensors. The PANI-PA 6 NNB coated QCM sensors are considered to be a promising candidate for trace HCl gas detection in practical applications.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) incorporating metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold great promise for energy-efficient carbon capture, yet are fundamentally limited by interfacial defects and the ubiquitous permeability-selectivity trade-off. Herein, we propose a nanoconfinement strategy via in-situ interfacial polymerization to synthesize ultrathin MOF nanosheets and thus integrate them into PIM-1 matrix, a typical representative of polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs), crafting a defect-free membrane. The meticulously designed MOFs, featuring synergistic amino functionalities and unsaturated Cu 2+ sites, endows the optimal membrane (PIM-MOF-1%) with exceptional CO 2 affinity and tailored molecular-sieving pathways. Consequently, it achieves a remarkable combination of high CO 2 permeability (5186 barrer) and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity (41), surpassing the 2019 Robeson upper bound. Impressively, this superiority persists under harsh conditions-exceeding the 2008 Robeson upper bound at 80 °C and sustaining high performance at 15 bar. Moreover, the membrane demonstrates exceptional long-term durability, preserving excellent separation performance, with CO 2 permeability of 3078 barrer and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 46, even after 180 days of aging. Our strategy aligns nanoconfined MOF architectures with polymer matrix, thereby resolving critical challenges in carbon capture through the simultaneous enhancement of separation efficiency and durability.

Natural gas pipelines face severe corrosion and hydrate deposition. Superhydrophobic coatings have potential but suffer from poor mechanical durability. Herein, a dopamine modification strategy is proposed, in which dopamine self-polymerizes on nano-ZnO to form a polydopamine (PDA) layer, improving epoxy compatibility and adhesion, thereby enhancing mechanical robustness and cohesion. A superhydrophobic coating (DZn) was fabricated by incorporating PDA-modified nano-ZnO into epoxy resin. DZn showed a water contact angle of 153.85° and a hysteresis of 3.11°. After 30 abrasion cycles, DZn retained its hydrophobicity, indicating excellent mechanical durability. DZn also achieved the highest adhesion grade (5B) and retained fouling-release capability under both acidic (pH = 1) and alkaline (pH = 13) conditions. EIS confirmed enhanced corrosion resistance, with an R c value of 9.18 × 10 9 Ω · cm 2 after 50 days of immersion, significantly higher than the control. This sustained R c indicates long-term stability of the trapped air layer, crucial for inhibiting hydrate nucleation and adhesion. This study demonstrates that dopamine modification effectively improves superhydrophobic coating performance, showing strong potential for internal pipeline protection against corrosion and hydrate deposition.

The development of high-efficiency carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes critically relies on precise control of ultramicroporous structures for efficient gas separation. In this study, cyclodextrins (CDs) with distinct molecular cavity sizes (α-, β-, and γ-CD) are employed as molecular-scale regulators to direct the evolution of pore structures in polyimide (PI)-derived CMS membranes through controlled pyrolysis. By systematically varying CD cavity sizes, the packing behavior of PI chains and the subsequent carbonization shrinkage are effectively regulated, leading to differentiated ultramicropore size distributions. This cavity-size-dependent pore engineering strategy enables a clear correlation among the molecular structure of CDs, carbon microstructure evolution, and gas transport behavior. Consequently, resulting hybrid CMS membranes exhibit substantially enhanced separation properties compared with both their precursors and pristine PI-derived CMS membranes, with optimized membranes carbonized at 550 °C going beyond the Robeson upper bounds for CO2/N2, CO2/CH4, H2/N2, and H2/CH4 separations. Particularly, γ-CD-derived CMS membranes achieve a favorable balance between permeability (PCO2 = 12186.6 Barrer, PH2 = 16314.1 Barrer) and selectivity (αCO2/N2 = 35.5, αCO2/CH4 = 41.7, αH2/N2 = 46.6, αH2/CH4 = 54.9), accompanied by stable long-term performance. These findings confirm that cyclodextrins’ incorporation with different cavity sizes provides an efficient approach to tailor the pore architecture of CMS membranes toward enhanced gas separation performance.

The transition from fossil feedstocks to bio-based alternatives with tunable properties is a crucial step towards establishing a sustainable materials industry. In this study, a series of high molecular weight bio-based poly (pentamethylene- co -ethylene glycol 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PPEF) copolyesters were successfully synthesized by the conventional melt polycondensation method from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and 1,5-pentanediol (PeDO) derived from biomass resource. The intrinsic viscosities [ η ] of PPEF copolyesters ranged from 0.70 to 0.84 dL/g with the number-average molecular weights ( M n ) ranging from 30,200 to 36,300 g/mol. The thermal stability, mechanical properties, and optical clarity of PPEF copolyesters were significantly improved with the increase in 1,5-pentanediol content. Among them, the elongation at break of PPEF-36 was as high as 182%, while maintaining a tensile modulus of up to 2350 MPa and a tensile strength of 75 MPa. In addition, PPEF copolyester demonstrated excellent gas barrier properties, with carbon dioxide and oxygen barrier improvement factors (BIFp) of 5.7–8.1 times and 3.1–5.5 times, respectively, compared with polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Therefore, bio-based PPEF copolyesters with high toughness and excellent gas barrier properties will demonstrate significant application potential in food and medical packaging as well as specialized industrial sectors.

Self-adaptive compliance and gas permeability are crucial properties for on-skin electronics, enabling the reliable extraction of high-fidelity electrophysiological signals for applications in personal healthcare and robotic control. However, integrating these two properties into a single device, particularly under dynamic skin deformations, remains a significant challenge. Here, we present an ultrathin liquid crystal elastomer-based sheath-core ionic nanomesh that synergizes soft elasticity with ionic conductivity to create self-compliant and breathable bioelectronic interfaces. The nanomesh features a hydrophilic sheath and a porous architecture, which ensure high moisture and air permeability for superior wearable comfort. Moreover, the unique liquid-like deformation of liquid crystal directors facilitates nearly stress-free skin-device junctions, promoting fatigue-resistant adhesion against various interfacial failures. Our fabricated electrodes successfully acquire muscle-specific electromyography signals with minimized motion artifacts - a feat challenging for conventional epidermal electrodes. This design resolves the trade-off between self-compliance and permeability, establishing a new paradigm for long-term, reliable wearable electronics.

The present work focuses on developing a high-performance n-butanol detection system through heterojunction engineering of W 18 O 49 /CeO 2 nanocomposites, aiming to achieve superior sensitivity and selectivity in volatile organic compound monitoring. The solvothermal-mediated fabrication of CeO 2 nanocrystals served as the foundation for hierarchical assembly of the W 18 O 49 /CeO 2 heterostructured sensing layer. A comprehensive investigation was organized, encompassing discriminative selectivity analysis, durability testing, response profiling, response/recovery characterization under prolonged operational conditions. Experiment confirmed that the W 18 O 49 /CeO 2 heterojunction sensor achieved peak analytical performance at room temperature, exhibiting a response of 12.2 when exposed with 100 ppm n-butanol. In contrast, the pristine W 18 O 49 had a response of 2.6, and pristine CeO 2 showed negligible response. DFT results showed that the adsorption energy of n-butanol on the W 18 O 49 /CeO 2 composite was −1.092 eV, which was much stronger than that on pristine W 18 O 49 (−0.305 eV), indicating a more favorable adsorption process. Notably, the sensor achieved a detection threshold of 1 ppm n-butanol with a response magnitude reaching 23.5 %, indicating its capability for ultra-trace gas analysis. Collectively, these findings substantiate the W 18 O 49 /CeO 2 heterojunction architecture as a highly effective sensing platform for volatile organic compound (VOC) detection, with particular applicability to n-butanol gas monitoring in smart manufacturing environments. The superior sensing efficacy stems from the synergistic charge transfer mechanism at the heterointerface, validated by both experimental characterization and theoretical modeling.

p-Chloroaniline is one of the banned aromatic amines in azo dyes, but it is very difficult to distinguish it from its isomers due to their identical retention time in chromatography and similar mass spectra. In this work, derivatization of the isomeric chloroanilines was carried out to yield the corresponding N-tosyl chloroanilines, which were completely separated by gas chromatography and also possessed clearly different electron ionization mass spectra. Thus, the three isomers could be differentiated and determined at the same time. Density functional theory calculation results indicated that the effect of the substituent pattern in electron ionization mass spectrometry is mainly due to the difference in the stability of the product ion (P2) at m/z 126, originating from the loss of tosyl radical from the precursor ion.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides (MXene) have attracted great attention for device applications due to their unique structures and excellent properties, such as high electrical conductivity and abundant functional groups on the surface. However, gas sensors based on Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene have the problems of high detection limit and poor long-term stability. Herein, we report a simple method to prepare Ti 3 C 2 T x /Ti 3 AlC 2 planar composite gas sensing materials using high molar ratio of HCl and LiF with Ti 3 AlC 2 as a framework. The Ti 3 C 2 T x /Ti 3 AlC 2 planar composite gas sensor has a high sensitivity, good selectivity and low detection limit for NH 3 , which can detect 50 ppb (1.2%) at room temperature ((25 ± 2) ℃). Furthermore, the gas sensor has good repeatability and long-term stability. After 120 days, the response of the gas sensor to 500 ppb of NH 3 fluctuated little due to the Ti 3 AlC 2 as a framework. The superior performances can be attributed to the special heterojunction between Ti 3 C 2 T x and Ti 3 AlC 2 and the high proportion of -O and -OH functional groups on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x /Ti 3 AlC 2 composite. This study provides an important reference for the realization of high performance NH 3 sensing by Ti 3 C 2 T x .
