Carbon nanosheets (CNS) have garnered significant interest as anode materials for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to the excellent potassium storage kinetics and rate performance. Moreover, tuning the thickness of CNS can enhance the potassium storage performance by exposing abundant surface active sites and shortening the K + migration path. Herein, crystallization-induced thickness tuning of carbon nanosheets in polyvinyl pyrrolidone-potassium chloride (PVP-KCl) solution is reported to enhance the fast potassium storage. PVP with varying molecular weights is employed to induce the crystallization behavior of KCl, leading to the formation of KCl grains with controllable sizes. Concurrently, these KCl grains act as hard templates for dispersing the PVP molecules to fabricate carbon nanosheets on the surface during annealing. PVP with high molecular weight is beneficial for hindering ion migration to reduce crystal sizes, which can decrease the thickness of carbon nanosheets. The ultrathin structure exposes abundant potassium storage sites, endowing CNS with high reversible capacity (359.0 mAh/g at 100 mA/g). The reduction in the migration path of K + ions facilitate rapid ion and electron transport kinetics, resulting in rate performance with a capacity of 181.9 mAh/g at 1 A/g. Our work extends the application of the crystallization-induced strategy for controllable designing carbon nanosheets, and puts forward some conceptions on improving the potassium storage performance of carbon anode materials.

Organic–inorganic metal halide perovskites have led to remarkable advancements in emerging photovoltaics. The rapid increase in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs has been mainly achieved by improving perovskite morphology and crystallinity. Herein, we report a simple and effective means to improve perovskite grain sizes using a porous hole transport layer (i.e., PEDOT:PSS in this work). We used polystyrene nanospheres as a sacrificial template to fabricate the porous-PEDOT:PSS. The growth of the CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite film on the porous-PEDOT:PSS substrate yields a dramatic improvement in crystallinity and an enhancement in perovskite grain sizes. When the porous structure was applied as a hole transport layer in PSCs with planar heterojunction structures, the efficiency was significantly enhanced from 15.33% for the planar device to 17.32%. This simple method for enhancing perovskite morphology and crystallinity paves the way for its application to other device architectures for enhanced photovoltaic performance.

The exploration of methods to produce biomaterials with antibacterial properties in ultra-small scales is of great scientific and technological interest. Here, we reported a microfluidic spinning approach to prepare a novel film combined with konjac glucomannan (KGM), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). The film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. This film was transparent, orderly, thermally stable, and uniform in size, with an average width less than 1 μm. Also, the film exhibited excellent antibacterial efficiency (97.1% against E. coli , 99.7% against S. aureus , 97.3% against S. enterica and 99.9% against B. subtilis ) in our antibacterial test. In addition, the film promoted wound healing with the advanced development of neovascularization and hair follicles. This strategy provides a facile and green pathway for the construction of biomaterial films for medical applications.

Polyvinyl alcohol/silica (PVA/SiO 2 ) hybrid fibers were prepared via a sol–gel combined electrospinning technique, and their potential application in bone tissue engineering was evaluated in terms of in vitro bioactivity. When the PVA concentration was 8%, the obtained PVA/SiO 2 hybrid fibers exhibited a uniform and continuous morphology, with an average fiber diameter of about 542.9 nm. The SiO 2 xerogel phase was uniformly distributed within the PVA matrix, and its actual content was very close to the theoretical value. After 3 days of immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF), the PVA/SiO 2 hybrid fibers displayed a vigorous precipitation of lamellar apatite crystals, reflecting their excellent in vitro bioactivity.

Palladium(II) and copper(II) chloride complexes bearing bulky 9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-11,12-diimine ligands were synthesized and sufficiently characterized by elemental and spectroscopic analysis along with X-ray diffraction analysis. The X-ray diffraction demonstrated that palladium(II) complexes (C1–C2) and copper(II) complexes (C3–C4) were four-coordinated. All these complexes displayed catalytic activities up to 105 gpolymer molMt−1 h−1 for norbornene vinyl-addition polymerization on treatment with excess methylaluminoxane (MAO). The parameters of the reaction conditions, the type of metals and steric effects of coordinative ligands had influences on the catalytic properties. C2 was selected as a catalyst precursor for the copolymerization of norbornene (NB) with 2-butyloxymethylene norbornene (BN), which exhibited catalytic activities up to 1.1 × 105 gpolymer molPd−1 h−1 and produced copolymers with relatively high molecular weights. The fraction of BN in the copolymer could reach up to 9.8–62.1% by controlling the monomer feed ratio range from 10–80%. The achieved vinyl-addition type poly(NB-co-BN) displayed high thermal stability and was soluble in common organic solvents, such as CHCl3 and THF.

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.

Two low-methoxy pectins (LMPs) were obtained by local electrochemical pH modification using an H-type double-layer water bath sealed electrochemical cell at the voltage of 180 V for 3 h. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of citrus peel pectin (CPP) prepared in the anodic part at room temperature (CPP-A 5/RT ) and in the cathodic part at 5 °C (CPP-C 5/RT ) were 346 kDa and 328 kDa, respectively, and the degrees of methylation (DM) were 36.8 % and 11.9 %. Moreover, the second-order kinetic model was most appropriate for the degradation processes, as free radicals were generated in the anodic part and β -elimination occurred in the cathodic part. Subsequently, CPP-A 5/RT and CPP-C 5/RT were utilized to fabricate food packaging film blending with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), bcZnO (ZnO coupled with bentonite and colophony) nanorods , and Ca 2+ ions by casting method. Then the prepared films were studied for their ability to maintain the freshness of strawberries. The addition of Ca 2+ ions and bcZnO nanorods increased the thickness, water contact angle (WCA), and mechanical properties of the composite films, while decreased water vapor permeability (WVP). Therefore, the CPP-based films, supplemented with bcZnO nanorods and crosslinked with Ca 2+ ions by “egg-box” model, can serve as an antibacterial food packaging material for food preservation.

Maleated glycidyl 3-pentadecenyl phenyl ether with styrene (MGS) was synthesized from glycidyl 3-pentadecenyl phenyl ether (GPPE), maleic anhydride (MAH) and styrene (St) in the presence of AIBN initiator at 80°C, and then the resultant MGS was applied as a compatibilizer to prepare SBR/silica composites. Meanwhile, the commercial compatibilizer bis-(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide (named Si69) added into composite was also prepared for comparison purpose. The synthetic MGS structure was characterized by GPC and FTIR, and SBR/silica compounds with different compatibilizer were analyzed using RPA, DMA and so on. The results showed that M̄n and M̄w of MGS were 19,538 g/mol and 23,790 g/mol, respectively. The curing time of compounds with MGS increased, whereas the maximum and minimum torques decreased. The addition of MGS decreased Payne effect of SBR/silica compounds, which implied an improvement of silica dispersion in the compounds. Bound rubber content of compound with MGS was about 1.7 times higher than the absence and 1.5 times higher than that with Si69. The tensile strength of the composites was improved by increasing compatibilizer loading, and the optimum value was observed at 6 phr of MGS. Meanwhile the use of MGS can improve the anti-aging property of composite. According to DMA, the tanδ value at 0°C of composite with MGS was higher than composite without compatibilizer suggesting that MGS can improve the wet skid resistance of composite. The SEM analysis revealed that introduction of MGS enhanced the compatibility between SBR and silica. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Conformal and smooth TiO 2 thin layers were coated on the surface of porous PTFE membranes subjected to a plasma activation process by atomic layer deposition (ALD). In contrast, TiO 2 was deposited on the PTFE surface as globular particulates without plasma activation due to the inert chemical nature of PTFE surface. X-ray photoelectron spectrometry confirmed the formation of functional groups on the plasma-activated PTFE surface which served as active sites for the homogeneous adsorption and reaction of ALD precursors. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed the uniformity of the deposited layer and the precise control of its thickness by changing ALD cycle numbers. The water contact angle measurement showed that the hydrophobic surface gradually turned to be near superhydrophilic with the increment of ALD numbers. Also, the membrane mean pore size was progressively reduced by simply altering the ALD numbers. At proper deposition conditions , the modified membranes gained an increase of pure water flux of more than 150% and simultaneously a doubled retention compared to the original unmodified membrane. This research provides an efficient approach devoid of any harsh treatments to modifying PTFE membranes for achieving specific functions, which also can be applied to other organic materials especially with chemical inert surface.

Herein, excellent UV-absorbing poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes were fabricated through the pre-irradiation induced graft polymerization method. The PVDF chains irradiated with 60 Co γ -ray were modified with the polymerizable UV absorber 2-[2-hydroxy-5-[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]phenyl]-2 H -benzotriazole (RUVA-93). The influences of irradiation dose and monomer concentration on the prepared PVDF-g-PRUVA-93 membranes were investigated, and the optimal condition was eventually obtained. The chemical structures of the films were studied by 1 H-NMR, FTIR, and XRD. UV light transmittance and DSC tests were used to characterize the UV-absorbing performance and thermal property of the PVDF films before and after modification. The results proved that the PRUVA-93 side chains were successfully incorporated into the PVDF main chains and the obtained PVDF- g -PRUVA-93 films possessed remarkable UV-absorbing property. The modified membrane made under the optimized experiment condition could completely block the UV light in the range of 200−387 nm. Additionally, the transmittance of the PVDF- g -PRUVA-93 film could be reduced to 0.04% in 280−320 nm, where the light irradiation could damage polymer materials most seriously.

Ultra-small Au nanoparticles (<2 nm) supported on hollow silica nanospheres were successfully fabricated with the aid of chemical modification (–SH groups) or through simple immersion method, leading to supported catalysts Au/SH-HNS and Au/HNS. The resulting solid catalysts showed good thermal stability and the small particle sizes could be remained even at high temperature of 350 °C. Such catalysts were catalytically active in the oxidation of styrene using O2 as oxidant under 1 atm pressure. The catalytic results showed that the activity strongly depends on the Au loading amount, and the loading of 4–5 wt% led to the highest activity. Significant rate enhancement was observed with gold nanoparticles supported on pure silica in comparison with thiol modified silica nanospheres, suggesting the negative effects of thiol groups. The solid catalyst could be reused at least 8 reaction cycles without significant decrease in activity and selectivity. This study not only supplies an active, recoverable catalyst for the green transformation of styrene, but also demonstrates that the hollow silica nanosphere material has a superior ability in stabilizing metal nanoparticles against growth.

Oil/water separation has recently attracted a great deal of attention for research due to the frequent occurrence of an oil spill as well as the increase of industrial and household oily wastewater. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate underwater superoleophobic crosslinked phosphorylated poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel coated stainless steel mesh (CL-PPVA@SSM), which was fabricated using a simple dip-coating method and aldol reaction on the mesh substrate. The as-prepared CL-PPVA@SSM is capable of separating oil from a variety of different oil/water mixtures with high separation efficiency up to 99.2%, excellent recyclability and fast water permeate flux of 467.7 L m –2 h –1 , which makes it suitable for the separation of oil-water mixtures from oil-water emulsions. Also, in the oil-water separation process, the CL-PPVA@SSM is capable to remove organic dye from the water. The CL-PPVA@SSM exhibits stability under various harsh conditions such as mechanical abrasion. Importantly, the CL-PPVA@SSM shows a massive potential to separate kitchen waste oil/water mixtures due to the underwater superoleophobic property as required for the recycling of kitchen waste oil. Therefore, this method has been met with a promising application prospect of practical application.
