Pervaporation is a separation technique relying on the concentration gradient , often expressed as partial vapor pressures , across polymeric or polymer-composite membranes. Those membranes inevitably exhibit a strong trade-off bottleneck between permeability and selectivity of target compounds, making the search for alternative materials with advanced performance characteristics highly desirable. This work aims to incorporate the advance of polymer and inorganic fillers to synthesize mixed matrix membranes . Effect of inorganic filler on properties and separation performance of Poly (vinyl alcohol) based mixed matrix membranes was investigated extensively in terms of several means of characterization methods. The results showed that the addition of inorganic fillers, NaA, SBA-15, SiO 2 and SiO 2 -NH 2 not only enhanced the separation factor but also increased the flux of water and DMF resulting in advance in total flux. This study may provide a guide to separate DMF-water solutions and will contribute to expand the high-value utilization of mixed matrix membranes in pervaporation.

Lignocellulose, as a kind of abundant natural resource, continuously developed to convert high value-added biological products is of great significance. Herein, we report a N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) solvent system to completely dissolve unbleached pulp to prepare a renewable lignin-containing cellulose film. The viscosity of the completely dissolved cellulose solution was measured using a high-pressure rotary rheometer. The shear viscosity exceeded 85 Pa·s at a shear rate of 1.62 s −1 . It exhibited shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluid behavior with increasing shear rate. CF-WS had excellent tensile strength (>73 MPa), and exhibited unique optical properties of high transmittance in the visible region and high shielding performance in the ultraviolet region. When the thickness is only 0.016 mm, the UV shielding rate exceeds 75 % (λ < 380 nm). The structure of the bioplastic was revealed by SEM, XPS , and Raman spectroscopy . Directly dissolving lignocellulose in NMMO aqueous solution is expected to yield bioplastics with high strength and biodegradability . It is a potential substitute for petrochemical plastics and provides a possible way for the utilization of agricultural waste.

The complexation and selectivity of N,N-di(2-ethylhexyl)-diglycolamic acid (HDEHDGA/kerosene, HA) toward the light lanthanides, La(III), Ce(III), Pr(III), and Nd(III), are presented for the extraction from chloride media. In the low pH region (pH 1.8–2.8), the obtained data reveal that the extraction of Ln(III) is governed by cation-exchange mechanism and is driven by the negative change in enthalpy. The results from the slope analysis method suggest the formation of LnA3·(HA)1or2 in the extraction process. As major extracted species with a core of LnA3 in the first coordination sphere, LnA3 might connect with one or two additional HA molecules in the second coordination sphere by hydrogen bonding. The LnA3 core might share similar coordination geometry to those of 1:3 Ln(III) complexes (LnA′3) with water-soluble N,N-dimethyl-diglycolamic acid (HDMDGA, HA′) formed in aqueous solutions or in solid-state compounds. The correlation between the extraction with HDEHDGA (HA) as an extractant and the complexation with HDMDGA (HA′) as a chelator has been explored by interpreting the separation factors for HA with the difference in the stability constants for HA′. Consequently, the ratios of the stability constants of the corresponding 1:3 complexes (LnA′3) with HDMDGA could be reasonably translated to the separation factors (SFs) with HDEHDGA, providing a valuable approach for understanding the origin of the extraction/separation mechanism. By comparing the extraction selectivity of HDEHDGA with that of the currently deployed extractants in the industry such as P204, P507, and Cyanex 272, HDEHDGA offers outstanding selectivity with considerable SFs (SFCe/La = 6.68, SFPr/Ce = 2.79, and SFNd/Pr = 2.65) for light Ln(III) pairs under conditions of low acid concentrations.

Electrified synthesis of high-value organonitrogen chemicals from low-cost carbon- and nitrogen-based feedstocks offers an economically and environmentally appealing alternative to traditional thermocatalytic methods. However, the intricate electrochemical reactions at electrode surfaces pose significant challenges in controlling selectivity and activity, especially for producing complex substances such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Herein, we tackle this challenge by developing relay catalysis for efficient DMF production using a composite WO2–NiOOH/Ni catalyst with two distinctive active sites. Specifically, WO2 selectively promotes dimethylamine (DMA) electrooxidation to produce strongly surface-bound (CH3)2N*, while nearby NiOOH facilitates methanol electrooxidation to yield more weakly bound *CHO. The disparity in binding energetics of the key C- and N-intermediates expedites C–N coupling at the WO2–NiOOH interface. In situ infrared spectroscopy with isotope-labeling experiments, quasi-in situ electron paramagnetic resonance trapping experiments, and electrochemical operating experiments revealed the C–N coupling mechanism and enhanced DMF-synthesis selectivity and activity. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and postreaction transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies verified the stability of WO2–NiOOH/Ni during extended electrochemical operation. A Faradaic efficiency of ∼50% and a production rate of 438 μmol cm–2 h–1 were achieved at an industrially relevant current density of 100 mA cm–2 over an 80 h DMF production period. This study introduces a new paradigm for developing electrothermo relay catalysis for the sustainable and efficient synthesis of valuable organic chemicals with industrial potential.

Triethylamine (TEA) gas is a kind of toxic gas that can lead to health problems. In this work, a novel Janus structure nanofibers (NFs) have been synthesized via a parallel electrospinning method. SnO 2 and In 2 O 3 are selected as the components of the Janus structure and different ratios of SnO 2 and In 2 O 3 in Janus structure are regulated. To investigate its TEA sensing application, gas sensors have been fabricated and the concentration of TEA gas is set at 20 ppm. The gas sensing results indicate that the optimum ratio of SnO 2 to In 2 O 3 is 1:1 and the gas sensors exhibit good sensing performances including a good response (8.45), short response time (4 s), high signal-to-noise ratio (4.45) and stable reproducibility. The improved gas sensing performances can be attributed to the n-n type Janus heterostructure interface. This research may make contributions to the development of semiconductor heterostructure sensing materials and gas sensors.

Developing a technique for the detection of nitro-alkanes, which are explosive and toxic, is vital. However, it is hard to selectively detect these compounds at low concentrations for early leakage warning. Here, a nanocomposite material was prepared to promote electron transfer and enhance the content of chemically absorbed oxygen by creating an n-n heterojunction between CdIn 2 O 4 and In 2 O 3 , leading to an enhanced response, shortened response time and reduced working temperature. As a result, the best sensor was found to exhibit an ultra-high response of 78 to 10 ppm nitropropane with quite a low detection limit of 50 ppb at 100 °C. Furthermore, the designed sensor was nearly insensitive to ethanol, acetone, hydrogen, CO, methanol, toluene and methane. Presently, the sensor demonstrated the highest response among those studied in previous investigations.

A new spectrophotometric method for measuring permanganate index (chemical oxygen demand using potassium permanganate (KMnO 4 ) as oxidant, COD Mn ) in water was established. The method was based on the rapid oxidation of N,N -diethyl- p -phenylenediamine (DPD) by residual KMnO 4 in digestion solution under neutral pH condition to form the stable pink radical (DPD ●+ ). Only 20 s were enough to form the pink DPD ●+ . The generated DPD ●+ could be quantitatively measured by a visible spectrophotometer at 551 nm. Stoichiometric coefficient of the reaction between KMnO 4 and DPD was close to 1:5 (1:5.07). There was a well linear relationship (R 2 = 0.999) between the change of the absorbance of DPD ●+ at 551 nm and the concentration of COD Mn in the range of 0–4.46 mg L −1 . Limit of detection of the DPD method was as low as 0.02 mg L −1 COD Mn . The DPD method was highly accurate for measuring COD Mn in standard solutions with well recovery rates of 99.17%–102.22%, and was well tolerant to the interference of coexistent Cl − and Fe 3+ . The DPD method was successfully applied for measuring COD Mn in real water samples, including surface water, underground water and drinking water . In comparison to the traditional titration method, the proposed DPD method was more convenient to operate, required less samples and digestion reagents (i.e., KMnO 4 and H 2 SO 4 ) and could be employed for online monitor.

Sarcosine, a potential biomarker of prostate cancer, has drawn great attention in recent years. However, controversial research keeps arising about its role as a biomarker that might come from the two isomers (α-alanine and β-alanine) of sarcosine due to their same molecular weight and similar properties, which could interfere with the accurate detection of sarcosine. In this study, a simple and sensitive method was developed for the detection of sarcosine and the two isomers by LC with ion-trap MS through a novel derivatization reagent N , N ′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. N , N ′-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide is usually considered as a condensation reagent, however, it was directly used as a derivatization reagent through a rearrangement side reaction in this study. The proposed method not only improved the chromatographic retention behavior of sarcosine and its two isomers, which was a benefit to their separation, but also dramatically enhanced the detection sensitivity of sarcosine, which was more favorable for real sample analysis. The factors affecting the productivity of the derivatization reaction, such as reaction time and amount of derivatization reagent, were systematically optimized. The method shows good linearity ( R 2 > 0.99), sensitivity with LODs of sarcosine as low as 1 ng/mL, and repeatability with the RSD < 6.07%. The developed method was applied to the analysis of urine.

Abstract Polyacrylate latex contained monobutyl itaconate (MBI) and N,N-diethylacrylamide (DEA) was successfully prepared by semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization with a green mixed emulsifier of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) anion surfactant and tetradecyl hydroxypropyl decyl betaine (THDB) amphoteric emulsifier, the mixed monomers of methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate (BA) were modified by MBI and DEA, which were initiated with potassium persulfate (KPS). The structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The film of latex was measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and contact angle (CA). The particle size of the latex was tested by Zetatrac dynamic light scattering detector. The optimal conditions are as follows: the amount of mixed emulsifiers is 6.0%; the optimum mass ratio of SDBS to THDB is 1 : 1; the amount of initiator is 0.7%; the mass rate of main monomers of MMA : BA = 1 : 1; the amount of DEA is 5.0% and MBI is 2%. In this paper, the polyarcylate emulsion shows excellent thermal stability and hydrophobicity.

Flexible tin–lead (Sn–Pb) mixed perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are among the promising flexible photovoltaics, owing to the narrow bandgap (NBG) of Sn–Pb perovskites, flexible and wearable features, and their role as a critical component in all-perovskite tandem photovoltaics. However, the flexible Sn–Pb PSCs suffer from a low power conversion efficiency, no higher than 18.5%, along with limited stability. Herein, we reported an efficient and stable flexible NBG Sn–Pb PSC via an N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) passivation strategy. CDI, with strong adsorption energy, preferentially binds to Sn2+ compared with oxygen (O2), thus effectively inhibiting the adsorption of O2 on perovskite surfaces. The transfer of electron density around Sn2+ dramatically decreased, thus suppressing Sn2+ oxidation. The CDI treatments endowed the Sn–Pb mixed films with fewer defects, improved crystallinity, better morphology, and matched energy-level alignment. The flexible Sn–Pb devices exhibited a high PCE of 21.02%. Besides, the devices showed enhanced stability and promoted flexibility. This work provides a pathway to visibly increase the efficiency and stability of the flexible Sn–Pb mixed photovoltaic cells.

Deep desulfurization from fuel has gradually become a research hotspot with enhancing requirements of environmental protection. CPO-27-Ni was considered as one of promising adsorbents towards adsorption desulfurization by virtue of its prodigious high pore volume and high specific surface area. However, the dominant microporous channels in traditional CPO-27-Ni hinder the diffusion of thiophene sulfide and its derivatives with relatively large molecular size, which limits its desulfurization efficiency. Herein, we proposed a strategy to reasonably construct defective CPO-27-Ni with micro-mesoporous structure using N , N -dimethyloctadecylamine (DMA18) as a template, aim at improving the diffusion efficiency by introducing meso -pores. Different amounts of DMA18 were introduced to synthesize defective CPO-27-Ni (DMA18-C- X ) by solvothermal method, and DMA18-C-0.5 (the mole ratio of added DMA18 to Ni 2+ was 0.5) exhibited a satisfactory desulfurization performance. The dynamic breakthrough adsorption capacities of dibenzothiophene, benzothiophene and thiophene over the DMA18-C-0.5 were remarkably promoted, which were as high 3.79, 6.45 and 9.29 times as the traditional CPO-27-Ni, respectively. The crystal structure of CPO-27-Ni was not altered after adding template agent DMA18, while a uniform distribution of mesopores appeared. The largest mesopore attained a size of 2.8 nm, which effectively promoted the full exposure of more unsaturated Ni 2+ active sites and enhanced the interaction between Ni 2+ active sites and sulfides, resulting in strengthened adsorption desulfurization performance. This method of introducing proper defects to construct mesopores in MOFs provides some useful references for preparing high-efficiency desulfurization adsorbents.

The surface adsorption and micelle formation of N -alkyl- N -methylmorpholinium bromide ([Mor 1,n ]Br n = 12, 14, 16) in aqueous solution is investigated in this work. Through surface tension measurements, the effectiveness of surface tension reduction (∏ cmc ), the maximum surface excess concentration (Γ max ) and the minimum area (A min ) occupied per surfactant molecule at the air/water interface at 25 °C can be deduced. Moreover, the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and various thermodynamic parameters (the standard Gibbs energy (ΔG m 0 ), the enthalpy (∆ H m 0 ), and the entropy (∆ S m 0 )) are calculated by the electrical conductivity measurements at different temperatures. The results of thermodynamic parameters show that the micellization process is driven by entropy.
