Series of Bi 2 MoO 6 /NiAl-LDH hetero-junction photocatalysts were synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method with a self-assembled process. It indicated that the in-situ intercalated NiAl-LDH showed a tight contact with Bi 2 MoO 6 layers and thus exhibited the rapid transfer of photogenerated electrons on the interface. The photocatalytic performance was evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The resulted Bi 2 MoO 6 /NiAl-LDH sample showed a higher visible-light photocatalytic activity for the degradation of RhB than any single component. The optimal LDH content in Bi 2 MoO 6 /NiAl-LDH is 15% with the degradation efficiency for more than 90% during 60 min. The excessive amount of NiAl-LDH in Bi 2 MoO 6 /NiAl-LDH could reduce the light absorption efficiency of Bi 2 MoO 6 and thus affected the generation of photoinduced electron–hole pairs. The enhanced photocatalytic activity and stability of Bi 2 MoO 6 /NiAl-LDH was attributed to the synergistic effects of the introduction of narrow band-gap NiAl-LDH and the construction of layered hetero-junction. Our synthetic method of self-assembly sheets has certain guided significance for the synthesis and application of other photocatalysts.

A self-assembly method is introduced to prepare composite phase change materials (PCMs) consisting of 1-octadecanol (OD) and graphene. The shape stability and thermal properties of 1-octadecanol/graphene composite PCMs with three-dimensional network structure are investigated. Graphene is dispersed evenly in OD matrix and the three-dimensional network structure is getting tighter with increasing ratio of graphene. OD is completely encapsulated at relatively low amount of graphene about 1.5 wt%. XRD and Raman results show that the combination between OD and graphene is physical adsorption. The 1-octadecanol/graphene (OG) composite phase change materials possess excellent shape stability, which can prevent the leakage of molten OD during phase transition. In addition, around 99.3% phase change enthalpy of pure OD is maintained by connected network structure of graphene while the melting and solidifying temperature merely have small fluctuations. The thermal conductivity of composite phase change material with 1.5 wt% graphene increases to 0.358 W/(m K), which is 1.5 times higher than that of pure OD. Furthermore, the porous network of graphene can delay the evaporation and thermal decomposition point of the composite phase change materials, thus extending the operating temperature of OD efficiently. This work provides a promising way to encapsulate low-temperature organic phase change materials with little carbon additives, and enhance the thermophysical properties of base materials simultaneously.

Uniform and polycrystalline tellurium nanoplates with a thickness of 100–300 nm can be rapidly synthesized by a simple solvothermal method in mixtures of water and ethanediamine at 180 °C with the assistance of glucose. By adjusting the concentration of glucose, tellurium microrods and nanoplates can be prepared. Based on the electron microscope observations, a possible mechanism involved the self-assembly process and dissolution–recrystallization mechanism is proposed for explaining the formation of polycrystalline tellurium nanoplates and their transformation into single crystalline nanorods. Furthermore, the Raman scattering measurement for the different morphologies is conducted, and the polycrystalline nanoplates present the stronger Raman scattering spectrum.

The protective performances of coating formed by organo-silane with a linear alkyl chain for promoting aluminum alloy corrosion protection were evaluated by electrochemical techniques. The coatings were self-assembled in the hydrolyzed hydroalcoholic bath of n -octyltriethoxysilane (OS) and cured at hot air oven by different time. The coatings prepared by the less self-assembled number and shorter cured time, were always porous and scarcely protective. On the contrary, those built by the more self-assembled number and the longer cured time had higher coverage on aluminum surface and favorable corrosion resistant property. The best results were obtained when n -octyltri-ethoxysilane (OS) was hydrolyzed 25 h, self-assembling of OS was conducted for five times and the multi-layers were cured at 120 for 1∼2 hours. In this case, the thicker, high cross-linked and more scarcely defective layer was formed on aluminum alloy surface.

The composites of carbon nanotube (CNT) and the conducting polymer polypyrrole (PPy) doped with dodecyl benzene sulfonate (DBS − ) and Cl − were prepared respectively by chemical oxidation method and made into two types of composite electrode (PPy-DBS/CNT and PPy-Cl/CNT) for capacitive deionization (CDI) cell. Enhanced electrochemical performance of the composite electrodes was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test. The results of CV showed that the specific capacitance of PPy/CNT doped with either DBS − or Cl − was about 2.3–2.5 times that of the CNT electrode. And EIS test demonstrated that the charging resistance for both the PPy-DBS/CNT and PPy-Cl/CNT electrodes was dramatically reduced and only about 10% that of the CNT electrode. By pairing the two composite electrodes with CNT electrodes, four cells were assembled to study the effects of electrode assembling patterns on the desalination performance of the CDI process. The results indicated that the CDI cells involving either the PPy-DBS/CNT electrode or the PPy-Cl/CNT electrode, or both of them exhibited much higher electrosorption capacity (from 40.8 to 72.36 mg/g) than that of the CDI cell assembled with two CNT electrodes (about 12.6 mg/g). And the composite electrodes kept good stability and fast regeneration rate after several desalting cycles. Thus, it is believed that the enhanced performance and optimized electrode assembly of the CDI cell should be with the composite electrodes that have the good ability of ion selective adsorption for cations or anions.

We propose a facile and simple synthesis of photoluminescent (PL) carbon dot self-assembled monolayer films (CD-SAMFs) at oil-water interfaces. By using styrene both as the carbon source and the oil phase medium, we got our amazing CD-SAMFs under the copper acetate and hydrogen peroxide (Cu(Ac) 2 -H 2 O 2 ) catalytic-oxidation system. Without any surface modification, the spontaneously formed CD-SAMFs exhibit ultrathin thickness (<10 nm), bright luminescence, high transparency, and hydrophobicity, which have the potential as a new alternative to be used on multifunctional coating films, anticounterfeiting, displays, sensors, and optical devices.

The diblock copolymer poly[2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate-r-styrene]-block-poly[(2-cinnamoyloxyethyl methacrylate)] [P(TFEMA-r-Sty)-b-PCEMA] was synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization. The copolymer underwent self-assembly in TFEMA/CH2Cl2 to form spherical micelles. Photo-cross-linking of the PCEMA domains of these micelles yielded cross-linked nanoparticles. The cross-linked nanoparticles were subsequently cast from CH2Cl2/methanol solvent mixtures at methanol volume fractions of more than 30% to yield rough surfaces bearing small nanobumps on micron-sized aggregations that were connected together to form cross-linked nanoparticles. These surfaces were superhydrophobic with a water contact angle of 161 ± 1° and a sliding angle of 6 ± 1°. Spraying these nanoparticles onto substrates exhibiting microscale roughness, such as filter paper, by a traditional coating technique also created superhydrophobic surfaces. A thin layer of nanoscale spherical protrusions was observed on the microscale fibers of filter paper by scanning electron microscopy. The coated filter paper samples exhibited a water contact angle and a sliding angle of 153 ± 1° and 9 ± 1°, respectively.

Graphene oxide (GO)-based nanocomposite films via facile and appropriate self-assembly methods have demonstrated many potential applications in wide fields. This study demonstrates a facile and clean route to prepare graphene oxide-dye composite films using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique at room temperature. By electrostatic interaction between cationic dye molecules and negatively charged GO sheets as well as π-π interactions, GO-dye composite LB films were formed spontaneously. As a soft platform for dye molecules, GO sheets induce dye molecules to self-assemble and form highly ordered structures containing H-aggregates and/or J-aggregates. The morphological characterization results show the formation of GO-dye composite films with smooth and dense surfaces. And the spectral results reveal that dye molecules stack in well-organized aggregates on the surface of GO sheets corresponding to monomers in bulk solution. The present research work about GO-dye composite films by LB method may provide new clues to prepare organized composite films and demonstrate potential applications in many fields.

Natural systems have exceptional capabilities of constructing structures across multiple length scales for remarkable performances from limited choices of building blocks. However, simultaneous control over structures at both the macroscopic and microscopic length scales is restricted by the high requirements in the type and property of building blocks. Here, directed self-assembly of microdroplets in an evaporating liquid is harnessed to fabricate large-scale ordered films with precisely controlled microstructures. Evaporation-induced variations in liquid confinement allow microdroplets to reassemble for large-scale ordered patterns. Deformation of microdroplets into different shapes accurately defines multiple topographical structures at the microdroplet level. The fabrication process is facile and scalable, and works with various materials for manufacturing functional films with tunable properties. These results suggest a facile yet effective strategy for engineering microstructures by combining directed self-assembly with manipulation of the property of building components for both structural fidelity and diversity.

A series of well-defined thermoresponsive graft polymers with different lengths and graft densities, poly(glycidyl methacrylate)- graft -poly( N -isopropylacrylate) (PGMA- g -PNIPAM), were successfully prepared by combination of controlled/living free radical polymerization and click chemistry. Effects of grafting length and density on the thermoresponsive behavior, aggregating mean diameter, and self-assembly morphology are systematically investigated. The thermosensitive characteristics of graft polymers in aqueous solution prove that the length and graft density had positive co-relationship with the lower critical solution temperature value and mean diameter of micelles as well as the size distribution, while the effect of graft length of polymers is more significant than that of density. Transmission electron microscopy analysis shows that the conformations of PGMA 45 - g -PNIPAM 20 and PGMA 45 - g -PNIPAM 46 with longer length and bigger grafting density in aqueous solutions are spherical nanoparticles with the increasing trend of the diameters, while that of PGMA 45 - g -PNIPAM (73, 50%) shows a spherical-like morphology, which indicates that the graft length and density have a significant effect on the mean diameter of micelle but not on the self-assembly morphology. These results reveal that to obtain desired thermoresponsive behavior and self-assembly morphology of functional polymers, it is essential to design and fabricate the structure of graft polymers with proper length and graft density. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The hydrolyzed peach gum polysaccharide (HPGP) prepared at acidic condition is investigated as an anionic polyelectrolyte for the first time. A hydrolysis mechanism is proposed by monitoring the hydrolysis efficiency and morphological change of crude peach gum, and the intrinsic viscosity of resulted HPGP as a function of hydrolysis time. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and ζ-potential measurements reveal that HPGP with multiple carboxylic groups is negatively charged in water in the pH range 3–11. The HPGP exhibits remarkable pH and ionic strength responsiveness, as proven by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. Moreover, the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly experiments further confirmed that the HPGP can be utilized as an anionic polyelectrolyte . Considering the facile availability, favorable compatibility and intriguing functionality of HPGP, this study opens up enormous opportunities for the large-scale utilization of peach gum resource.
