This communication reports the development of a new efficient visible-light-driven composite photocatalyst comprising ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles and conjugated polymer (CPVC) from the dehydrochlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). ZnFe 2 O 4 /CPVC nanocomposites were synthesized via three main steps: (i) the synthesis of ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles by a sol-gel method; (ii) the adsorption of PVC in tetrahydrofuran solution by ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles to form ZnFe 2 O 4 /PVC nanocomposites; and (iii) the dehydrochlorination of PVC in the ZnFe 2 O 4 /PVC nanocomposites by heating at 150 °C for 2 h. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy characterization revealed that the as-synthesized product was core/shell structured ZnFe 2 O 4 /CPVC nanocomposites. The photocatalytic results demonstrated that the ZnFe 2 O 4 /CPVC nanocomposites had much higher photocatalytic activity than ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI) under visible-light (λ>420 nm) irradiation. Thus, ZnFe 2 O 4 /CPVC nanocomposites are promising for use as a new efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst .

The development of high performance membrane is crucial for enhanced separation efficiency of nanofiltration process in treating wastewaters from dye and textile industries. In this work, a novel thin-film composite nanofiltration membrane with an asymmetric separation layer composed of relatively compact skin and loose body was designed and fabricated for improved perm-selectivity and antifouling property. Nascent composite membrane with loose poly(piperazine amide) (PA) separation layer was interfacially synthesized and performed with secondary surface reaction using an aqueous tannic acid (TA) solution. Membrane characterizations verified the formation of compact TA skin on top of the loose PA layer through forming covalent bonds via esterification reaction. Compared with the composite nanofiltration membrane with PA symmetric separation layer having the same glucose rejection of about 82.0%, the permeability to pure water of the composite membrane with PA/TA asymmetric separation layer was higher by 28.0%, the water fluxes to aqueous solutions dissolved with model anionic dyes of alizarin yellow R, sunset yellow and Congo red under steady state were higher by 50.3, 43.9 and 36.1%, and the steady-state flux declines were lowered by 27.8, 43.4 and 23.5%, respectively. Furthermore, the PA/TA-based membrane also exhibited better antifouling property and rejection ability to alizarin yellow R.

A surface-grafted imprinted ceramic membrane (IIP-PVI/CM) for recognizing molybdate (Mo(VI)) anion was prepared by surface-initiated graft-polymerization. Firstly, raw alumina ceramic membrane (CM) was deposited with SiO 2 active layer by situ hydrolysis deposition method. Subsequently, γ-methacryloxy propyl trimethoxyl silane (MPS) was used as a coupling agent to introduce double bonds onto the SiO 2 layer (MPS-CM). Then, 1-vinylimidazole (VI) was employed as a functional monomer to graft-polymerization onto the MPS-CM (PVI-CM). During the graft-polymerization, the influence factors of grafting degree of PVI were investigated in detail. Under optimum conditions (monomer concentration 20 wt%, temperature 70 °C, initiator amount 1.1 wt% and reaction time 8 h), the grafting degree of 20.39 g/100 g was obtained. Further, Mo(VI) anion was used as a template to imprint in the PVI-CM by employing 1,6-dibromohexane as a cross-linking agent, and then Mo(VI) was removed, obtaining the IIP-PVI/CM with many imprinted cavities for Mo(VI). Thereafter, static adsorption and dynamic separation properties of IIP-PVI/CM for Mo(VI) were studied. Results indicate that IIP-PVI/CM shows a specific selectivity for Mo(VI) with the adsorption capacity of 0.69 mmol/100 g, and the selectivity coefficient of IIP-PVI/CM is 7.48 for molybdate to tungstate anions. During the dynamic separation, IIP-PVI/CM has also good selectivity for separation of Mo(VI) and W(VI) anions.

A new composite gel polymer electrolyte of nonwoven fabric (NWF) and methyl cellulose (MC) with good mechanical properties and outstanding thermal and electrochemical stability is prepared by a simple and green casting process followed by absorbing liquid electrolyte. Its characteristics are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Due to the synergistic action between MC matrix and the NWF framework, the composite gel polymer electrolyte achieves higher ionic conductivity (0.29 mS cm−1) at ambient temperature and larger lithium ion transference number (0.34) than those for the conventional Celgard 2730 separator (0.21 mS cm−1 and 0.27, respectively) in 1 mol L−1 LiPF6 electrolyte, and their activation energies are similar. In addition, the composite membrane shows better mechanical strength than the pure MC membrane. The evaporation rate of the liquid electrolyte at elevated temperature is much decreased. The assembled Li//LiFePO4 cell using this composite gel membrane exhibits better cycling retention and higher discharge capacity than those based on Celgard 2730 separator and pure MC gel membrane. These fascinating characteristics suggest that this unique composite gel polymer electrolyte can be used for lithium ion batteries with good performance and low cost.

A functionalized glass sensor ( G-P ) was prepared for detecting nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) by chemically immobilizing a conjugated polymer P on the surface of a glass slide. The monolayer film sensor had several advantages: the signal amplification effect of conjugated polymers, no leakage of sensing materials in solution, and good permeability for the analytes. Fluorescence quenching studies demonstrated that the sensor was highly sensitive to NACs. When the DNT concentration was 1.03 × 10 –7 mol/L, the quenching efficiency (1– I / I
0 ) of G-P reached 52.8%. Moreover, the excellent properties of reversibility, selectivity and sensitivity indicated the glass G-P might be a promising sensor in the field of explosives detection.

A series of luminescent polymers are synthesized by incorporating rare earth complex units into polymer matrices. Firstly, we functionalize the selected polymer matrices with the imidazolium moieties, and then introduce the rare earth tetrakis(β-diketonate) complexes into polymer matrices through a mild anion exchange method. The resulting materials are characterized by FTIR, XRD, EDAX, SEM, thermogravimetric analysis, luminescence excitation spectra and emission spectra, luminescence lifetime measurements and diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectra. The photoluminescence measurements indicate that all these rare earth complex functionalized polymers exhibit a characteristic luminescence emission originating from the corresponding rare earth ions. Among the hybrids, the europium tetrakis(TTA) complex functionalized polymers show remarkable luminescence quantum yields and relatively long 5 D 0 lifetimes at room temperature.

A novel single-ion conducting polymer electrolyte (SIPE) membrane with high lithium-ion transference number, good mechanical strength, and excellent ionic conductivity is designed and synthesized by facile coupling of lithium bis(allylmalonato) borate (LiBAMB), pentaerythritol tetrakis (2-mercaptoacetate) (PETMP) and 3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanedithiol (DODT) in an electrospun poly(vinylidienefluoride) (PVDF) supporting membrane via a one-step photoinitiated in situ thiol–ene click reaction. The structure-optimized LiBAMB-PETMP-DODT (LPD)@PVDF SIPE shows an outstanding ionic conductivity of 1.32 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 25 °C, together with a high lithium-ion transference number of 0.92 and wide electrochemical window up to 6.0 V. The SIPE exhibits high tensile strength of 7.2 MPa and elongation at break of 269%. Due to these superior performances, the SIPE can suppress lithium dendrite growth, which is confirmed by galvanostatic Li plating/stripping cycling test and analysis of morphology of Li metal electrode surface after cycling test. Li|LPD@PVDF|Li symmetric cell maintains an extremely stable and low overpotential without short circuiting over the 1050 h cycle. The Li|LPD@PVDF|LiFePO 4 cell shows excellent rate capacity and outstanding cycle performance compared to cells based on a conventional liquid electrolyte (LE) with Celgard separator. The facile approach of the SIPE provides an effective and promising electrolyte for safe, long-life, and high-rate lithium metal batteries.

In this study, quasi-solid polymer electrolytes incorporating an ionic liquid (ILQSEs) fabricated in different organic solvents via a thermally-initiated polymerization strategy were investigated for flexible supercapacitors (SCs). It was found that low-viscous acetonitrile (AN) with a strongly-polar nitrile group was remained in the polymer matrix, which favored a higher ionic conductivity, wider electrochemical window, and better thermal stability of the ILQSE compared to its propylene carbonate (PC) counterpart. Moreover, the in situ polymerized quasi-solid electrolyte achieved close contact with the porous carbon electrode, accompanied by the favorable permeation of the IL into the electrode for enhancing the ion-transport kinetics and interface stability. Consequently, the as-assembled SC with the AN-based ILQSE delivered a high specific energy and specific power, excellent cycle stability, and reliable safety.

The composite after referred to as P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) was prepared via free radical polymerization by polymer including quaternary ammonium salt and epoxy group which grafted onto the surface of Ce-ZnO. ZnO nanorods, Ce-ZnO nanorods, P(DMDAAC-AGE), P(DMDAAC-AGE)/ZnO composites, P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composites and commercial antimicrobials were respectively treated on the cotton fabrics and their biological properties were investigated. There is a synergistic effect between Ce-ZnO and N + from the polymer in the fabric treated with P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite so that it had a better antibacterial activity than pure polymer and pure Ce-ZnO. The antimicrobial rate of fabric treated with P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite could reach up to 96%. And in order to investigate the durable ability, the fabric was washed multiple times to simulate the daily use washing. The result showed that the fabric still gave a superior antibacterial performance after 11 cycles (the equivalent of 55 times house laundering). Simultaneously, the differences in the amount of P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite deposited on the fibers after washing were also investigated.

A conducting polymer based composite material of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with pure insoluble ionic liquid (IL), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, was prepared through a cost-effective electrodeposition method. A very tiny amount of insoluble IL (less than 15 μL), containing 0.1 M conducting polymer monomer, was drop-coated on an electrode surface and then used for electropolymerization using a homemade electrochemical cell filled with aqueous supporting electrolyte. With this design, the consumption of expensive IL for the preparation of the PEDOT/IL composite was greatly reduced, and thus effectively reduced the cost. The prepared PEDOT/IL composite was found to be highly conductive and stable, and it exhibited a highly nanoporous microstructure and excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of dopamine (DA). Based on the excellent stability and electrocatalytic activity of the PEDOT/IL nanocomposite, a highly stable, sensitive and selective DA sensor with a detection limit of about 51 nM was developed.

The polymethacrylimide/silicate (PMI/silicate) composites were successfully prepared from the monomers of acrylonitrile (AN) and methacrylic acid (MAA) via the monomer in situ intercalation polymerization and free foaming. The formation of imide groups was monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results of FTIR and XPS indicated that the imide groups were gradually formed and cyano groups were dwindling but still existed during foaming and thermal treatment. The thermogravimetric analysis results revealed that the thermal stability of the PMI/silicate composites was improved, the rate of thermal degradation was reduced, and the residue was increased because of the addition of silicates. The results of dynamic mechanical analysis revealed that the rigidity and the glass transition temperature of the composites were improved. The limit oxygen index (LOI) and cone calorimeter (CONE) test showed that the fire-retardant properties were improved because of the barrier effect of silicates. The cell morphologies of the PMI/silicate composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the results showed that the silicate particles were distributed on the cell walls, but the cells slightly cracked. The mechanical properties were measured by tensile, flexural, and compressive strength. The mechanical strength, especially flexural strength, was significantly improved. The flexural strength of PMI/MMT, PMI/kaolin, and PMI/talc containing 8 wt% silicates was improved to 172%, 240%, and 233%.

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) have gradually gained more attention in the natural gas and oil transportation field due to their remarkable inhibition performance at low dosages. However, the inhibition performance of most commercial KHIs is poor under high subcooling conditions. In this work, a radical polymerization method was used to synthesize four new KHIs by introducing the 1-vinylimidazole (VI) or vinylacetate (VAc) monomer. These newly-synthesized copolymer KHIs were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared, 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance, and gel permeation chromatography, respectively. The cloud point of HY-201 is remarkably as high as 92.3 °C and the four KHIs are all biodegradable. Under subcooling of 10 K and 15 K, the inhibitory performance of four new KHIs and three commercial KHIs on hydrate nucleation and growth are as follows: PVP < Luvicap EG < Inhibex 501 < HY-101 < HY-201 < HY-301 < HY-401. In addition, the hydrate volume fraction of the four new KHIs at the optimal concentration of 15 K subcooling for 12 h was 13.3 %, 1.7 %, 2.4 %, and 2.1 %, respectively, which did not exceed 1/3 of the tested commercial KHIs. Further, the novel mechanism hypothesis is proposed as follows: the surface charge of the hydrate nuclei is neutralized by KHIs, and the hydrate nuclei aggregates, hindering the gas from entering the hydrate. In addition, the strong entanglement and adsorption of KHIs molecules with better inhibition performance make the hydrate lose the space for growth and expansion. Overall results highlight the great application prospects of these new KHIs in natural gas transmission based on the remarkable inhibition performance under high subcooling conditions.
