Designing Covalent Organic Frameworks with a Tailored Ionic Interface for Ion Transport across One-Dimensional Channels

A strategy based on covalent organic frameworks for ultrafast ion transport involves designing an ionic interface to mediate ion motion. Electrolyte chains were integrated onto the walls of one-dimensional channels to construct ionic frameworks via pore surface engineering, so that the ionic interface can be systematically tuned at the desired composition and density. This strategy enables a quantitative correlation between interface and ion transport and unveils a full picture of managing ionic interface to achieve high-rate ion transport. Moreover, the effect of interfaces was scaled on ion transport; ion mobility is increased in an exponential mode with the ionic interface. This strategy not only sets a benchmark system but also offers a general guidance for designing ionic interface that is key to systems for energy conversion and storage.     

La2O3对氧化铝透明陶瓷显微结构和透光性能的影响

采用传统无压烧结工艺在氢气氛下制备Al2O3透明陶瓷。实验结果表明：MgO和La2O3复合添加时，随着La2O3掺杂量的增加体积密度总体上保持上升的趋势。随着保温时间的延长，陶瓷的致密化程度增大，残余气孔逐步排出，晶粒进一步长大。采用La2O3和MgO复合添加比单独掺入MgO陶瓷样品透过率更高，掺杂效果更好。在烧结温度为1750℃，保温时问为1h条件下，在波艮为300～800nm测试范围内，陶瓷样品的全透过率大于82％，最大值为86％。     

Synthesis and lysozyme adsorption of rod-like large-pore periodic mesoporous organosilica

Highly ordered rod-like large-pore periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) was successfully synthesized at low acid concentration with the assistance of inorganic salt using triblock copolymer P123 as a template. The roles of inorganic salt and acidity in the production of highly ordered mesostructure and the morphology control of PMOs were investigated. It was found that the inorganic salt can significantly widen the range of the synthesis parameters to produce highly ordered 2D hexagonal pore structure of p6mm symmetry. However, the uniform rod-like PMOs can only be synthesized in a narrow range of acid and salt concentrations, which were sensitive to induction time. The adsorption of lysozyme on PMO was studied at different pH values in comparison with adsorption on pure silica material under controlled morphology and pore structure. It was found that the adsorption capacity of lysozyme on the PMO was lower than that on pure SBA-15 silica material and the adsorption amounts are larger at pH 9.6 than at 7.0 for both materials. The results show that the electrostatic interaction between lysozyme and PMO/SBA-15 surface is more dominant than the hydrophobic forces and the interaction of neighboring lysozyme molecules also plays an important role.     

Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals for ultraviolet and blue light blocking

Using cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals, CsPb(Cl/Br)_3, as a light absorber, we report a highly effective UV and blue light blocking film. The CsPb(Cl/Br)_3 nanocrystals are well dispersed in the ethyl cellulose(EC) matrix to compose a UV and blue light shielding film, and the absorption edge of the film is tunable by adjusting Cl to Br ratio using anion exchange. The CsPbCl_2 Br-EC film exhibits a transmittance of 5% at 459 nm, 90% at 478 nm and 95% in the range of 500–800 nm, which makes it excellent for UV and blue light shielding. In addition, the as-prepared EC-CsPb(Cl/Br)_3 film shows excellent photostability under UV irradiation. Results demonstrate that this EC-CsPb(Cl/Br)_3 based materials with sharp absorbance edges, tunable blocking wavelength, and high photostability can be useful for the applications in UV and blue light blocking and optical filters

Mesomorphous Structure and Electrochemical Behavior of Polyelectrolyte-Ferrocenyl Surfactant Complexes

Redox-active polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes (PSC) were prepared via the ionic self-assembly of sodium polyacrylate (PAAS) and ferrocenyl surfactant, n-alkyl (ferrocenylmethyl)ammonium bromide (Fcn, n = 8, 12, 16, where n is the carbon number of the alkyl chain), in solution. The obtained PAAS-Fcn complex exhibited crystalline and lamellar mesomorphous structure. Moreover, the ferrocenyl moieties formed H-aggregation in the solid complex as known from the blue shift in the ultraviolet-visible spectrum. Cyclic voltammogram (CV) measurements indicated that the reversibility of the electrode process became worse when the surfactant tail length increases because of the more ordered packing in the complex film formed by longer surfactant tails. The present results demonstrate that the electrochemical activity of the redox-active polyacrylate-ferrocenyl surfactant complex can be easily tuned by changing the surfactant tail length. Our work provides a simple and facile approach to the preparation of redox-active polymers with ordered mesomorphous structure by the ionic self-assembly.
