A tandem process of micellar catalysis and cloud point extraction (CPE) is developed for copper-catalyzed Ullmann C-S coupling reactions in water. The functional nonionic surfactant, amine terminated polyether M2070, affords nano-micelle environment in the aqueous system; the latter splits to two phases above the cloud point temperature (CPT). The nature of the micellar catalysis in M2070 aqueous was investigated by DLS, EDS, XPS, IR, TEM and 1 H NMR. M2070 was verified to provide nano-space for encapsulation and aggregation of the substrates. More importantly, the metallic micelle formed by M2070 chelating copper was identified. It is noteworthy that excellent productivity in pre-micellar catalysis of C-S coupling reactions was obtained with good tolerance of substrate. Finally, the water-micelle system was separated into two phases above the CPT thus to achieve the product separation. Furthermore, the M2070/water system can be recycled and reused.

In this study, Cu2Se1–xSx (x = 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5) alloy powders were prepared by the hydrothermal synthesis method. In the subsequent sintering process, the spontaneous in situ phase separation process of the sample forms a two-phase hybrid structure. The generated Cu2S precipitates in the Cu2Se matrix noticeably enhance phonon scattering, which is beneficial for low thermal conductivity without significantly affecting the electrical transport performance. Ultimately, an optimized thermoelectric performance was obtained in Cu2Se0.9S0.1, reaching a peak zT value of 1.43 at 773 K, the optimum value among the Cu–Se–S systems at this temperature.

Proper interface and band alignment always play essential roles in the separation of photoexcited charge of photocatalysts. In this work, we prepared a homodispersed S-scheme carbon nitride homojunction with local electron structure difference by a facile pre-doping and two-step calcination approach. Boron doping into heptazine created extra acceptor impurity, and phosphorus doping into heptazine created extra donor impurity, which eventually modulated the electronic structure of carbon nitride. As heptazines with different element doping were integrated into carbon nitride by recalcination, B–CN and P–CN formed a homodispersed homojunction and thus produced a rich interface. Meanwhile, caused by Fermi energy levels equilibrium, the band bending constructed an S-scheme homojunction, which stimulated photogenerated electrons to transfer from CB of B–CN to VB of P–CN. The homodispersed S-scheme homojunction structure led to efficient suppression of recombination of photoinduced charge and retained stronger redox charge. Consequently, the photocatalytic performance was dramatically boosted to 2620 μmol g −1 from 60 μmol g −1 of pure CN in 4-h hydrogen evolution from water. This novel method for electron structure engineering helped to provide a new strategy for designing homojunction photocatalysts with excellent photocatalytic performance.

The requisite interfacial contact of heterojunction photocatalysts has a significant contribution in separation of interfacial charge carriers for photocatalytic hydrogen (H 2 ) evolution in a more efficient manner. Herein, an internal electric field (IEF)-induced S–scheme system comprised of two-dimensional (2D) CoAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) and 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) was constructed via a simple hydrothermal process. In the presence of visible-light irradiation, the 2D/2D MoS 2 /CoAl LDH hybrid demonstrates eightfold greater photocatalytic H 2 generation rate as compared with that of CoAl LDH. The mechanism was investigated in the light of the results of the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and work-function calculated by density functional theory (DFT) simulation, and the improved activity was ascribed to that the rapid detachment of the electron-hole (e − -h + ) combinations and high redox ability, both are simultaneously realized in MoS 2 /CoAl LDH hybrid with a 2D/2D S–scheme charge transfer mechanism induced by the IEF across interface of the MoS 2 and CoAl LDH. Furthermore, favorable 2D/2D structure and better H* adsorption behavior of MoS 2 /CoAl LDH also promoted the improvement of water reduction performance. This work is a valuable guideline in developing of IEF-induced S–scheme photocatalysts with 2D/2D architecture for improved photocatalytic performance.

Biomass residue cellulose-based poly-(ionic liquid)s (ILs) were in situ synthesized via activators generated by electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization in ionic liquid microemulsions. These biomass residues, including apple residue, citrus residue, and ginkgo leaf, were started with pretreatment and modification in ionic liquid microemulsions, and their structure and thermal stability were significantly altered before and after modification as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and 31 P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to investigate the molecular structure of the biomass residue cellulose-based poly-ILs. In addition, the adsorption performance of the biomass residue cellulose-based poly-IL adsorbents for heavy metal ions, such as Cd(II), Zn(II), Cr(IV), Cu(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II), in water were investigated. Results show that the prepared adsorbent possesses good thermal stability and certain adsorption capacity for metal ions in water, especially for nickel ions (93.91 mg/g). The prepared adsorbent also exhibits remarkable performance in the field of biomass residue utilization and novel poly-IL adsorbents.

The application of high-energy Mg/S batteries was obstructed by the insufficiency of low-cost and non-nucleophilic electrolyte. In this work, a non-nucleophilic electrolyte was prepared by facilely dissolving Mg(CF3SO3)2, MgCl2, and AlCl3 in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME). The equilibrium species of the MTB electrolyte mainly comprise [Mg2(μ-Cl)2(DME)4]2+ and [(CF3SO3)AlCl3]−, which are generated by dehalodimerization reaction and Lewis acid–base reaction, respectively. The electrolyte exhibits a highly efficient reversible Mg deposition/dissolution, low overpotential of around 250 mV, and good oxidative stability up to 3.5 V after conditioning. The conditioning process that the active [Mg2(μ-Cl)2(DME)4]2+ species transforms into [Mg3(μ3-Cl)(μ2-Cl)2(DME)7]3+ was demonstrated, owing to the irreversible deposition of Al3+ on Mg foil. More importantly, this electrolyte exhibited good compatibility and kinetics for reversible Mg/MgSx redox, resulting in a high specific capacity of 866 mAh g–1 at 200 mA g–1 and high power density of 550 W kg–1. This work offers a new direction for low-cost, non-nucleophilic electrolyte and paves the way to explore high-power Mg/S batteries.

For Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells, eliminating multi-layer crystallization is a key issue of achieving high quality CZTSSe absorber layers and high cell performance. In this work, the formation mechanism of the multi-layer crystallization is revealed, that is, the reaction between CZTS and Mo may give the secondary phase, which subsequently acts as crystal nucleus to facilitate the CZTSSe crystal growth at back interface (Mo/CZTSSe), leading to multi-layer crystallization. By introducing MoO 3 isolating layer, this undesired reaction can be well prevented, and high quality single-layer crystals are obtained. This absorber film with fewer defects and secondary phases exhibits better semiconductor properties . Based on this regulated CZTSSe absorber layer, 11.68% (active area: 0.16092 cm 2 ) and 10.69% (mask area: 0.17586 cm 2 ) certified power-conversion-efficiency have been achieved with significant increase in the open-circuit voltage and fill factor.

The development of doped noble metal catalysts with nonmetal elements to improve the catalytic performance toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is significant for proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology. Here, we report a one-pot for dual-nonmetal-doping strategy for the synthesis of S and P-co-doped mesoporous PtPd nanocages (PtPdSP mNCs) by using pre-synthesized mesoporous PtPd nanocages (PtPd mNCs) as the precursor and triphenylphosphine sulphide as both S and P sources. Benefitting from the combined advantages of metal–nonmetal incorporation, hollow cavity and surface porosity, the resultant quaternary PtPdSP mNCs exhibit outstanding ORR activity and long-term stability. This research work provides a good strategy for the doping of two or more selected nonmetallic elements into metallic nanocrystals with a controllable structure and composition.

Elemetal doping is an efficient strategy to adjust the microstructue and electronic property of a carbon material, as a result, shows great potential in the design of novel electromagnetic absorption (EMA) materials. In this work, we report an useful strategy to prepare a N,S co-doped carbon (NSC) using TTF-TCNQ as the precusor, and systematically explore its frequency-depedent dielectric and EMA properties. Different N/S ratios can be tuned by the regulation of pyrolitic temperature. The derived NSC exhibits wonderful EMA performance when the pyrolytic temperature is setted to 700 ℃ with loading ratio of 35 wt%. Efficient absorption can be achieved in the frequency range of 6.4–18 GHz. Moreover, it is determined that the efficient absorption bandwidth gets to 6.5 GHz, while the maximal absorption reaches −46 dB. The EMA mechanism of NSC is considered to be mainly contributed by improved impedance matching realized by macropores, enhanced conductance loss caused by well constructed condutive network, and polarization by N,S doping. This research provides a new idea for development of novel carbon materials for EMA applicaion.

The copper-catalyzed and metal-free azide-alkyne click polymerizations have become efficient tools for polymer synthesis. However, the 1,3-dipolar polycycloadditions between internal alkynes and azides are rarely employed to construct functional polymers. Herein, the polycycloadditions of dibutynoate ( 1 ) and tetraphenylethene-containing diazides ( 2 ) were carried out at 100 °C for 12 h under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions, producing soluble poly(methyltriazolylcarboxylate)s (PMTCs) with high molecular weights in high yields. The resultant polymers were thermally stable with 5% weight loss temperatures up to 377 °C. The PMTCs showed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. They could work as fluorescent sensors for detecting explosive with high sensitivity, and generate two-dimensional fluorescent photopatterns with high resolution. Furthermore, their triazolium salts could be utilized for cell-imaging applications.

Stimuli-response materials have attracted considerable attention due to their potential applications in sensoring, smart coatings, and intelligent devices. Herein a novel thermo-photo staged response shape memory poly(aryl ether ketone) bearing flexible alkyl segments and azobenzene groups was successfully designed and synthesized. Its chemical structure, thermostability and mechanical properties were characterized through Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis. The resultant polymer disclosed thermo-/photo-dual stimuli-response behaviors, ascribed to its unique chemical structure. Firstly, the polymer film exhibited good thermal response shape memory effect with satisfied shape fixity ratio ( R f ) and shape recovery ratio ( R r ) (>99%). Moreover, an interesting photo-thermo two-staged responsive shape memory behavior with bending deformation over 100° upon the exposure of ultraviolet light and recovering to its original state through thermal treatment was revealed, attributed to the transcis isomerization of azobenzene groups.

Biodegradable and stimuli-responsive polymers have been widely explored due to their great potential in various biomedical applications. Here, biodegradable and oxidation-responsive poly(ester-thioether)s with different backbones were prepared by polymerization of dithiols and diacrylates. Two isomeric dithiol monomers, 2,3-dimercaptobutane (DMB) and 1,4-butanedithiol (BDT), were employed to synthesize poly(ester-thioether)s in the presence of 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDA). The polymerization and oxidation kinetics of poly(ester-thioether)s were found to be controllable by tuning the polymer backbones, which were prepared using different monomers. The polymerization kinetics demonstrated that BDT showed a faster polymerization rate than DMB due to less steric hindrance. Poly(ester-thioether)s PHBD and PHDM, which were prepared from BDT and DMB with HDA, respectively, showed the fastest and slowest oxidation-responsiveness both in THF solution and in the form of polymer films. Finally, the potential application of poly(ester-thioether)s as drug vehicles for anticancer therapy was confirmed by using doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug. The DOX-loaded micelle DOX/mPEG-PHBD showed much faster H2O2-responsive drug release and better anticancer efficacy in both MCF-7 and 4T1 cells due to the higher sensitivity of PHBD to H2O2.
