In this study, a nanofiltration (NF) polyamide hollow fiber thin film composite membrane with a low rejection and a high flux was prepared in consideration of the “trade-off” relation between salt rejection and permeate flux of the membrane. The membrane was able to retain the beneficial minerals in tap water while keeping the body healthy. The membrane prepared had a thinner active skin layer (<100 nm) than those of commercial membranes. A permeability of 30.07 L/m 2 /h and a rejection rate of 79.68% for 1,000 mg/L MgSO 4 at 0.2 MPa were obtained. In addiiton, Fe 3+ , Cu 2+ , and Pb 2+ were used to evaluate the heavy metal removal performance of the NF membrane. It was found that as the concentration of heavy metal ions increased to three times of the Standards for Drinking Water Quality (SDWQ) (GB5749-2006), and the rejections to all heavy metal ions were more than 76%. In addition, the NF membrane had a good long-term rejection stability for the heavy metal ions over a 12-month dynamic filtration experiment. The results showed that the newly prepared NF membrane has a good application prospect for domestic water purification.

A series of luminescent Ln 3+ @bio-MOF-1 (Ln = Eu, Tb, bio-MOF-1 = Zn 8 (ad) 4 (BPDC) 6 O⋅2Me 2 NH 2 (ad = adeninate, BPDC = biphenyldicarboxylate)) are synthesized via postsynthetic cation exchange by encapsulating lanthanide ions into an anionic metal–organic framework (MOF), and their photophysical properties are studied. After loading 2-thenoyltrifluroacetone (TTA) as sensitized ligand by a gas diffusion (“ship-in-bottle”) method, it is found that the luminescent intensity of Eu 3+ is enhanced. Especially, when loading two different lanthanide cations into bio-MOF-1, the luminescent color can be tuned to close white (light pink) light output. Additionally, bio-MOF-1 and Eu 3+ @bio-MOF-1 are selected as representative samples for sensing metal ions . When bio-MOF-1 is immersed in the aqueous solutions of different metal ions , it shows highly sensitive sensing for Fe 3+ as well as Eu 3+ @bio-MOF-1 immersed in the DMF solutions of different metal ion. The results are benefit for the further application of functionalized bio-MOFs in practical fields.

1,3-dioxolane (DOL) shows low interfacial impedance and high Coulombic efficiency, thus its polymer electrolytes have attracted extensive attention. In order to initiate DOL polymerization, catalyst amount of LiPF 6 is usually used rather than as the main lithium salt . Totally replacement of LiTFSI with low cost of LiPF 6 could bring the heat explosion and high viscosity when mixing DOL with 0.9 M LiPF 6 electrolyte (carbonate ester solvent). Here, based on the Lewis acid-base interaction, a new type of Lewis base, pyridine, is added to control the explosive polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane in LiPF 6 electrolyte. Through tuning the pyridine content, the gelling process and electrochemical properties could be controlled. It is demonstrated that the optimized monomer conversion and electrochemical window are up to 85.2 % and 4.6 V; meanwhile, the optimized conductivity and transfer number are 0.99 × 10 −3 S/cm (25 °C) and 0.68, respectively. The stable interface between PDOL and lithium metal anode could be proved by the stable over-potential (50mv, 700 h) at current density of 0.5 mA cm −2 . After 500 cycles at 2C, the assembled Li/PDOL@py 0.125 /LiFePO 4 battery delivers 115 mAh/g and 90 % capacity retention, with high average Coulombic efficiency of 99.83 %. The present results demonstrate the heat suppression role of pyridine toward mixing DOL with 0.9 M LiPF 6 electrolyte, which solves the heat and viscosity problems for PDOL based gelling polymer electrolytes .

Lithium metal batteries based on solid electrolytes are considered as promising candidates with high energy density and safety. However, the weak solid-solid contact between electrolyte and electrode can easily lead to interface instability and lithium ions discontinuous migration, which seriously reduces the electrochemical performance of the battery. Herein, we construct a soft gel interfacial layer to improve the stability of the solid-solid interface between electrolyte and electrode by means of polyester-based monomers and imidazole-based ionic liquids. Based on this, garnet-type Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO) particles as inorganic ceramic filler were introduced in the layer to obtain composite electrolytes with high ionic conductivity (up to 1.1 × 10 −3 S/cm at 25 °C). As a result, the assembled lithium symmetric battery of Li|THCE-15%LLZTO|Li suggests excellent cycling stability with 700 h at 0.1 mA/cm 2 at 50 °C, and the lithium metal batteries of LFP|THCE-15%LLZTO|Li delivers high initial discharge capacity of 128.2 mA ·h/g with capacity retain of 75.48% after 150 cycles at 2 C. This work paves a new route to build safe and stable lithium metal batteries with synergistic introduction of composite electrolytes between electrolyte and electrode using soft gel interfacial layer and inorganic filler.

The reactive and stable catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction are highly desirable for low temperature fuel cells. The commercial oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysts generally reply on noble metal based nanomaterials, which suffer from inherent cost and selectivity issues. At present, it still remains challenge for designing efficient non-noble metal-based oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysts. Herein, we successfully synthesize Co nanoparticles supported on three-dimensionally N-doped holey graphene aerogels hybrids by the high-temperature calcination of the graphene aerogels-polyallylamine-Co II hybrids. The component optimized hybrids show the excellent electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media, which is comparable to commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst. Meanwhile, the hybrids also show eminent tolerance for CO and methanol, attributing to their excellent oxygen reduction reaction selectivity. The three-dimensionally interconnected structure of graphene aerogels, N-doping, uniform dispersion and high crystallinity of Co nanoparticles, and holey structure of graphene contribute to the striking oxygen reduction reaction activity of hybrids.

[PO 4 ] 3− possesses small microscopic second-order susceptibility and polarizability anisotropy, which inherently result in weak second-harmonic generation (SHG) and small birefringence. Herein, a new noncentrosymmetric phosphate, [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] 3 PO 4 ·2H 2 O, was successfully designed and synthesized by a solution evaporation method. [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] 3 PO 4 ·2H 2 O without metal ions is composed of planar conjugated guanidine cations and PO 4 tetrahedrons, which are connected by hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. Physical property measurements indicate that the title compound displays an SHG response of 1.5 × KH 2 PO 4 (KDP) and a larger birefringence (0.055@546.1 nm) compared with most reported ultraviolet nonlinear optical phosphates. Furthermore, first-principles calculations reveal that the π-conjugated planar [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] + cations and [PO 4 ] 3− groups are responsible for its excellent linear and NLO properties.

Flexible pressure sensors play an indispensable role in flexible electronics. Microstructures on flexible electrodes have been proven to be effective in improving the sensitivity of pressure sensors. However, it remains a challenge to develop such microstructured flexible electrodes in a convenient way. Inspired by splashed particles from laser processing, herein, a method for customizing microstructured flexible electrodes by femtosecond laser-activated metal deposition is proposed. It takes advantage of the catalyzing particles scattered during femtosecond laser ablation and is particularly suitable for moldless, maskless, and low-cost fabrication of microstructured metal layers on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Robust bonding at the PDMS/Cu interface is evidenced by the scotch tape test and the duration test over 10 000 bending cycles. Benefiting from the firm interface, the developed flexible capacitive pressure sensor with microstructured electrodes presents several conspicuous features, including a sensitivity (0.22 kPa −1 ) 73 times higher than the one using flat Cu electrodes, ultralow detection limit (<1 Pa), rapid response/recovery time (4.2/5.3 ms), and excellent stability. Moreover, the proposed method, inheriting the merits of laser direct writing, is capable of fabricating a pressure sensor array in a maskless manner for spatial pressure mapping.

Lithium metal is a promising anode material for rechargeable batteries with high energy density . However, the uncontrollable dendrite growth severely hinders the commercialization of Li metal anode . Inspired by the “leveling” mechanism in traditional electroplating, we demonstrate that boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) as a liquid electrolyte additive can level out Li protrusions and enable dendrite-free Li metal anodes. 2D BNNSs can automatically and continuously flatten Li deposits and accommodate volume changes during Li plating/stripping. B atoms in BNNS as Lewis acid sites interact with Lewis basic anions in electrolyte, reducing Li + concentration gradient and unifying Li deposition. The collect effects of BNNS additive give rise to dendrite-free Li anodes over 400 h and deep plating/stripping up to 35 mAh cm −2 , as well as potential application in sub-zero temperature batteries (−20 °C). Li–S full cells using BNNS electrolyte also exhibit improved performance. This simple and effective strategy is applicable to develop dendrite-free Li or other metal anodes in high-performance energy storage devices.

Structured porous carbon materials have been extensively applied for catalyst, sensor, adsorbent, energy storage materials and many others. However, the preparation of such carbon materials in a controllable way remains a significant challenge. In this work, 3D printing has been employed to prepare porous carbon structures with tailorable pore sizes. A starch/gelatin ink has been applied as carbon source with SiO 2 monodispersed spheres as hard template. The process exhibits an excellent printing accuracy. Controllable meso and macro structures can be thereby obtained. The printed monolithic structures have been used as metal-free catalysts for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol, as an illustration. The monolithic and meso/macro-porous structure has a remarkable influence on the reaction rate. A high conversion with high benzaldehyde selectivity has been achieved. The 3D printing strategy provides us a simple, low cost and reliable way of fabricating carbon structures with designable meso/macro-pores, which is promising for many other applications beyond catalysis.

Hierarchical forest-like photoelectrodes were prepared by assembling nano-ZnO on an array of micro-metal dendrites, aiming to demonstrate the idea of highly efficient photon-harvesting inside a biomimetic dendrite structure. Via a facile aqueous electrochemical deposition process, the metal dendrites were deposited on both flat and wire substrates with different alignments, showing wide adaptability. A strong, broadband anti-reflection effect was observed, owing to the diffuse reflection inside the microdendrites. By increasing the dendrite height, the overall reflectivity of the metal electrode can be reduced from 75% to 45%, which could be further reduced to 12% after combining with acicular-leaf-like ZnO nanoarrays. Its applications in light-driven water splitting were successfully demonstrated. Taking advantage of the forest-like photoelectrode, we have artificially constructed an efficient photo-electrochemical system similar to plants in a forest, with photons harvested by the crown-like photoanodes in the sunshine, and synthetic reactions driven by the root-like electrode in the shadow.

The nickel-based metallic organic framework (Ni-MOF) [Ni 2 (OH) 2 (C 8 H 4 O 4 )] material with a hierarchical microblocks structure is efficiently synthesized in 2 h by the ultrasonic method. At the moment Ni-MOF is used as the electrode materials and the supercapacitors (SCs) perform very well with great electrochemical capacity which exhibited particular electric capacitance of 631 C g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 . This is one of the highest performances and the shortest synthesis time reported so far for MOFs. Besides, there is a battery – SC hybrid SC assembled by using Ni-MOF and activated carbon. On the condition of having a power density of 302.2 W kg −1 with the voltage window of 1.2 V, the SC produces an energy density of 28.5 W h kg −1 . During the same period, the SC maintains outstanding cycling stability capacitance retention of 85.5% after 3000 cycles at current density of 10 A g −1 . The great electrochemical capability is due to the distinct crystal texture and particular morphological feature. Herein, it is displayed that the ultrasonic method is a fast and effective approach for preparing Ni-MOF SC electrode materials.

Water hypoxia and metal pollution are commonly co-existed in urbanized estuaries. This study focuses on the effect of an extended dissolved oxygen (DO) full-life dynamics (86 days) on metal behavior across the sediment-water interface through laboratory microcosms from two typical zones in Pearl River Estuary. Combining our time-series results of concentrations and fluxes, it showed that Co, Ni, and Zn consistently presented a release-precipitation-release trajectory with an oxic-hypoxic-anoxic-reoxic transition, characterized with highly variable behavior in the hypoxic-anoxic hotmoments. In parallel, changing DO dynamics significantly activated a repartitioning process of Co, Ni, and Zn among several species and elevated their risk in sediments, promoting the formation of more labile species in the 0–10 mm hotspots, where metals sensitively responded. Over DO transition, metal cycling was tightly co-related with Fe, Mn, and S elements. It was found that Mn was dominated in low oxygen-hypoxic period, but switched to S and Fe in anoxic stage, limiting sustained metal liberation to overlying water. Enlarging this experiment to practice, released Zn fluxes from sediments in hypoxic summer could contribute about ∼2.0% to their stocks in water column, while increase to 20% (1 m bottom water) in highly-stratified zones. This study has certain significance in understanding the long-term metal behavior and fate in estuarine regions, even lakes and reservoirs.
