Direct pore engineering of 2D imine covalent organic frameworks via sub-stoichiometric synthesis

Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks(2D COFs)bearing various topologies can be precisely designed based on the symmetry of monomers.Their pore environment can be further regulated via either pre-functionalization of the monomers or post-modification of the skeleton.Among them,sub-stoichiometric synthesis is an efficient method which can mediate uncondensed functional moieties periodically arranged in the COF skeletons.Herein,a series of imine-linked 2D COFs with specifically decorated formyl or amino groups were selectively synthesized via sub-stoichiometric formyl transamination.The molar ratios of the monomers directly determine the structures of the resulting COFs with periodic vertex vacancies.The COF with polar amino sites could efficiently capture CO₂ and H₂O.This work demonstrates tuning the stoichiometry of the monomers could facilely modulate the functions of the pore channels.It also provides insights into constructing novel COFs with complex structures for targeted applications.     

Convergent architecting of multifunction-in-one hydrogels as wound dressings for surgical anti-infections

Surgical procedures are susceptible to the cause of infections, which could induce delayed wound healing, oxidative stress and tissue ischemia. Multifunctional wound dressings (e.g., hydrogels) without the induction of antibiotics is promising for the elimination of surgical site infections and the associated complications. Herein, we report a reductionism approach for the fabrication of bioactive hydrogels to recapitulate antibacterial functions as well as antioxidant, pro-angiogenic and hemostatic properties in surgical infection treatments. The hydrogels composed of naturally derived Cirsium setosum extracts (CE, a traditional medicinal herb) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CS) show their capacity for surgical anti-infections on three different models (i.e., infectious random skin flap model, infectious skin defect model and infectious femur fracture model). Due to the innate bioactivities of CE and CS, CECS hydrogels can also reduce the bleeding loss (85% reduction) on a hemorrhaging liver model and improve the vascularization for skin flap regeneration. Overall, bioactive CECS hydrogels integrated with the ease and scalability of assembly process and biological activities without the addition of antibiotics is promising to act as multifunctional wound dressings for surgical anti-infections.     

基于硅基硼掺金刚石电极的电化学-原位核磁共振波谱电解池的设计、制备与可行性研究

电化学与核磁共振波谱联用技术（EC-NMR）可以实时监测电化学反应过程,从分子水平阐释反应机理,是一种非常有前景的无损在线检测技术。本文首次报道以硅基硼掺金刚石（Si/BDD）作为工作电极的原位EC-NMR三电极单室电解池的设计和制作。研究表明,由于尺寸12.5 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.5 mm的Si/BDD电极在核磁检测区的体积较小且电极材料厚度较薄,因此该电极对射频场的阻碍较小,对磁场均匀性破坏也相应较小。运用自制的EC-NMR电解池并以经典的对苯二酚（QH ₂）电氧化生成对苯二醌（Q）作为模型体系,原位研究了该电化学反应的整个动态过程。在1.2 V恒电位下电解0.1 mol·L^-1 QH₂ 64分钟,监测到位于6.83 ppm处的Q特征峰逐渐生成,反应过程中核磁谱峰未发生裂分或明显的展宽。结果表明,应用本文所设计并制备的原位EC-NMR电解池,可有效对电化学反应物和产物进行定性、定量分析,将可在后续的电化学原位核磁波谱研究中发挥重要作用。     

Hydrogen Peroxide Detection Using Prussian Blue-modified 3D Pyrolytic Carbon Microelectrodes

A highly sensitive amperometric Prussian blue-based hydrogen peroxide sensor was developed using 3D pyrolytic carbon microelectrodes. A 3D printed multielectrode electrochemical cell enabled simultaneous highly reproducible Prussian blue modification on multiple carbon electrodes. The effect of oxygen plasma pre-treatment and deposition time on Prussian blue electrodeposition was studied. The amperometric response of 2D and 3D sensors to the addition of hydrogen peroxide in μM and sub-μM concentrations in phosphate buffer was investigated. A high sensitivity comparable to flow injection systems and a detection limit of 0.16 μM was demonstrated with 3D pyrolytic carbon microelectrodes at stirred batch condition     

Tailoring Pore Structure and Morphologies in Covalent Organic Frameworks for Xe/Kr Capture and Separation

As a rising star among porous solid materials, covalent organic frameworks(COFs) with excellent properties including but not limit to facilely controllable structure, high porosity, and multi-chemical functionality represent significant potential for efficient ¹²⁷Xe/⁸⁵Kr capture and separation. In this study, through tuning the length of the organic ligands, two-dimensional(2D) COF mate-rials with identical connection group but different pore properties, denoted as ATFG-COF and TpPa-COF with AA-stacking model and TpBD-COF with AB-stacking model were synthesized and tested for Kr and Xe adsorption for the first time. Adsorption measurements indicate that the narrower pore apertures and higher porosity are conducive for COF materials to capture Xe and Kr. Furthermore, the Henry's constant, isosteric heat of adsorption(Q_st), and ideal adsorbed solution theory(IAST) selectivity of ATFG-COF, the pore size of which is closest to the kinetic diameter of the Xe atom(0.41 nm) among 2D COF materials, were carried out based on the single component sorption isotherms. The results illustrate that the high isosteric heat values of Xe/Kr adsorption on ATFG-COF are 25 and 16 kJ/mol at room temperature, respectively. Henry's law predicts that the selectivity factor of Xe to Kr is 6.07, consistent with the adsorption selectivity(ca. 6) calculated based on the IAST.

Synergistic effect of functional carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide on the anti‐corrosion performance of epoxy coating

In this work, we reported the synergistic effect of functional carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene oxide (GO) on the anticorrosion performance of epoxy coating. For this purpose, the GO and CNTs were firstly modified by the 3‐aminophenoxyphthalonitrile to realize the nitrile functionalized graphene oxides (GO‐CN) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs‐CN). As modified GO‐CN and CNTs‐CN were characterized and confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and gravimetric analyzer. It was found that about 19 and 24 wt% of 3‐aminophenoxyphthalonitrile were grafted onto the surface of the GO and CNTs, respectively. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results showed that the GO‐CN&CNTs‐CN hybrid materials exhibit a remarkable superiority in enhancing the anticorrosion performance of epoxy coatings. Significant synergistic effect of the lamellar structural GO‐CN and CNTs‐CN on the anticorrosion performance of epoxy composite coatings was designed. Besides, the epoxy coating with 1 wt% of the GO‐CN&CNTs‐CN hybrid exhibited the best anticorrosion performance, in which the impedance showed the largest one (immersion in 3.5 wt% of NaCl solution for 168 hr).
