Solid-state lithium metal batteries with high energy density and safety have gained increasing attention due to their potential applications. However, the practical use of solid electrolytes is hindered by several challenges. These include poor compatibility at the electrode–electrolyte interface, low ionic conductivity at room temperature, and fast capacity degradation. To address these issues, here we propose ternary strategies by in-situ cross-linked plastic crystal electrolyte (in-situ PCE) based on succinonitrile (SN). Through the in-situ polymerization of SN with polyacrylonitrile/poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PAN/PVDF) nanofibers separator, excellent mechanical strength and compatibility at the electrode–electrolyte interface are achieved. The cross-linked structure of thermally polymerized ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETPTA) immobilizes the SN molecule, preventing its contact with the lithium metal and inhibiting irreversible side reactions. Additionally, a LiF-rich passivation layer is employed to further protect the SN at the electrolyte-lithium metal interface. The dual protection from ETPTA and LiF offers excellent stability to lithium. Hence, the in-situ PCE exhibits high ionic conductivity (0.79 mS cm −1 at 30 °C) and wide electrochemical window (4.56 V, vs Li + /Li). The cells exhibit excellent cycling stability and high-rate performance. LiFePO 4 //Li cells retain 96.6 % capacity after 1000 cycles at 10C rate. This study provides valuable insights into the development of high-performance solid-state electrolytes.

Magnetic actuators, which use magnetic effects for actuation, are very useful in many areas, such as electrical equipment, soft robots, and medical instruments. However, they inevitably suffer damage during long-term use, leading to mechanical failure. Introduction of the self-healing concept can solve this problem to a certain extent and extend their service life. Herein, a room-temperature self-healing magnetic nanocomposite is obtained using a simple, efficient, and environmental-friendly strategy. In the authors' design, soft poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) polymeric materials are chosen as the matrix, and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles are utilized as a functional magnetic nanofiller to obtain a new magnetic nanocomposite. By balancing the self-healing property and mechanical performance, the optimal content of magnetic filler is determined to be 15 wt%. The optimized sample exhibits an ultimate tensile strength (0.44 MPa), a high tensile strain (400%), and an excellent self-healing efficiency (62.2% mechanical recovery of fracture strength) at 25 °C for 30 min. Furthermore, this composite material shows an excellent and healable magnetic actuation performance. This new nanocomposite provides great potential for the magnetic actuation application.

A liquid crystalline epoxide was synthesized and its curing reactivity was compared with that of the conventional epoxy monomers . By utilizing the difference in curing reactivity between the liquid crystalline epoxide and non-liquid crystalline epoxy monomers, a coexistent system of polymer-dispersed and polymer-stabilized liquid crystal (LC) in the intelligent films can be obtained by two-step thermal curing method. If the later curing process was undertaken under an external electric field , the ordered microstructure of liquid crystalline epoxy polymer (LCEP) network can be implanted into the conventional epoxy resin. The competition of the anchoring effect on the LC molecules from the LCEP network and the conventional epoxy resin matrix was crucial to the electro-optical performance of the films. Moreover, the performance of the films can be adjusted by controlling the content of liquid crystalline epoxide and the external electric field applied during later curing. This approach can provide a facile route to regulate the electric-optical performance of polymer-dispersed liquid crystal films for practical applications.

A novel porous membrane of chemically modified polyvinyl butyral (mPVB), with improved thermal properties and chemical stability for lithium ion battery applications, is successfully synthesized by utilizing the chain extension reaction of the OH units from PVB. The porous mPVB membranes are obtained via the tape casting and phase inversion method. The corresponding gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is achieved by immersing the as-prepared membranes in the liquid electrolyte. The electrochemical performances of the GPE show that the mPVB membranes have the features of good uniformity, high porosity ( ≈ 90%), great thermal stability, and high mechanical strength. Moreover, the GPE exhibits good chemical stability, a wide electrochemical window, as well as high ionic conductivity ( ≈ 1.21 × 10 −3 S cm −1 ). A test of a Li/GPE/LiFePO 4 battery cell shows a capacity of 147.7 mAh g −1 and excellent cycling stability, demonstrating the great potential of the mPVB-based GPE for lithium ion battery applications.

In recent years, side chain engineering has been proven to play a critical role in the development of high performance conjugated polymers for organic electronics. Here, we report a new strategy to improve charge transport property through side chain functionalization. A series of carbazole–diketopyrrolopyrrole based conjugated polymers P1, P2 and P3 with different side chains have been designed and synthesized. For P2 and P3, a pyrene and carbazole unit were incorporated into the terminal of the alkyl side chain, respectively. Thermal properties, crystallinities, UV-vis absorptions, electrochemical properties as well as charge transport properties of the polymers were investigated in detail. Interestingly, results showed that incorporation of the fused aromatic ring into the side chain terminal not only changed the absorption and electrochemical properties, but also affected the charge transport properties. The pyrene and carbazole group in the side chain terminal significantly promoted aggregation of the polymer chains, which would provide short-range order for improved charge carrier mobility. Compared to the hole mobility (0.019 cm2 V−1 s−1) for polymer P1 with the whole alkyl chains, increased hole mobilities of 0.081 cm2 V−1 s−1 and 0.052 cm2 V−1 s−1 were achieved for polymer P2 and polymer P3, respectively. It is worthy to note that our strategy gives rise to no increment of the crystallinity of the polymer, being beneficial for the practical application of soft electronics since high crystallinity of the material usually leads to poor thin film uniformity and weak mechanical resilience. In this respect, we offer a promising tool to aid rational polymer design for enhanced charge transport property.

Water addition was found to enhance the thermal stability of alkylimidazolium–acetate ionic liquids (ILs). Especially in the case of high water content (30–50 wt%), few decomposition products can be observed in the 1 H NMR spectra even after treatment for 24 h at 150 °C. On the basis of this finding, lignin treatment of water and acetate IL mixtures (50–90 wt% IL content) were investigated at 150 °C. The addition of water, as opposed to pure IL treatment, can inhibit the lignin depolymerization into small fragments. Lignin degradation and the structure of regenerated lignin are more affected by cation types of ILs rather than the IL contents and pH values. In the case of 50–70 wt% 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate–water system, the specific inter-unit linkages of lignin can be broken down, and regenerated lignin with a narrow polydispersity index (5.0–9.6) can be obtained.

A novel double-hydrophilic block copolymer P(MEO 2 MA- co -OEGMA)- b -PAMA has been successfully synthesized by two-step RAFT polymerization. Then, the amino groups of PAMA blocks in the copolymers react with 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde via a “Schiff-base” reaction, and the resulting copolymers are self-assembled to form spherical micelles in aqueous solution. Because the “Schiff-base” linkage is pH sensitive, the release rate of pyrene depends upon the pH of solution. Complete release is achieved at pH 1, and the control release is much faster at pH 5.5 than that at pH 7.4. With progress of pyrene release, the micelles are disassembled gradually and disappeared completely at last. This double-hydrophilic copolymer is a promising candidate of drug carrier for the aldehyde- containing hydrophobic drugs.

Sn(0)-mediated single electron transfer-living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) of acrylonitrile (AN) with carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) as initiator and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as ligand in N, N -dimethylformamide (DMF) was studied. The polymerization obeyed first order kinetic. The molecular weight of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) increased linearly with monomer conversion and PAN exhibited narrow molecular weight distributions. Increasing the content of Sn(0) resulted in an increase in the molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution. Effects of ligand and initiator were also investigated. The block copolymer PAN- b -polymethyl methacrylate with molecular weight at 126,130 and polydispersity at 1.36 was successfully obtained. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A rigid Pb(II)-imprinted polymers were synthesized by the combination of surface-imprinted method with sol–gel method using (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane as a functional monomer, Pb(II) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide as template ions and tetraethoxysilane as cross-linker and were used as adsorbents for the removal of Pb(II). The effect of molar ratio of cross-linker to functional monomer on the morphology and adsorption performance has been evaluated. The effects of pH, initial concentration and adsorption time on the adsorption performance of Pb(II) on both sorbents were investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated from Langmuir isotherm was 68.03 mg g -1 and 17.13 mg g -1 for Pb(II)-IIP and Pb(II)-NIP, respectively. Kinetics studies showed that the adsorption process obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The selective adsorption coefficient of Pb(II)-IIP for Pb(II)/Ni(II), Pb(II)/Cd(II), Pb(II)/Hg(II) and Pb(II)/Co(II) are 117.5, 1.42, 4.9 and 30.24, respectively. The spent Pb(II)-IIP could be reused at least five cycles, demonstrating its good practicability.

The Mn dissolution issue in manganese-based materials (LMO) represents one of the most challenging barriers to further commercial development of electrochemical lithium extraction, which is an efficient and clean way of extracting Li from liquid resources. Here, by leveraging the advantages of composite materials, a novel combination of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and sulfonated ionic polymers (Nafion) is introduced to relieve the issues of electrode polarization and manganese dissolution, critical factors limiting the durability of LMO electrodes. By modifying with rGO to enhance electronic conductivity and surface characteristics, and capturing dissolved Mn 2+ through Nafion, the modified electrode showed significant improvement in cycling stability and lithium adsorption capacity. Experimental results confirm that this synergistic approach effectively mitigates polarization effects and controls disproportionation reactions, thereby enhancing the stability of the lithium extraction process, revealing a notable increase in electrode capacity retention from 79.04 % to 94.64 % after 30 cycles. Additionally, through DFT calculations and XPS analysis, the effectiveness of the manganese capture strategy is validated. This work presents an effective new strategy to extend the lifespan of manganese-based electrodes and enhance their adsorption performance.
