Insights into interfacial stability of Li6PS5Cl solid electrolytes with buffer layers

The large interfacial resistance seriously restricts the development of all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). In our work, first-principles calculations are employed to investigate the interfacial properties on lithium (Li) metal anode/Li₆PS₅Cl solid electrolyte (LPSCl) interface system as well as buffer layers (Li₂S) effects. The stable interface structures, Li/LPSCl, L₂S/LPSCl and Li/L₂S, are established at atomic level. We find that PS₄ tetrahedral structure has been seriously destroyed in Li/LPSCl interface, whereas the presence of Li₂S buffer layers may smooth the interface without PS₄ tetrahedral damage occurred. In addition, the electronic structure of interface indicates that solid electrolyte interphases are not easy to form on LPSCl surfaces considering buffer layers effects, which may improve the stability of anode/solid electrode interface. Moreover, the calculated energies of exchange ions between Li metal and solid electrolyte with buffer layers suggest that the Li₂S interposition can suppress the atoms diffusion in LPSCl layers, and provide a smooth interface structure, which may promote the stability of Li/LPSCl interface. This work on the atomic scale will offer a useful perspective for designing high performance of solid electrolytes to enhance good cyclability in ASSLBs.

Pillararene Host–Guest Complexation Induced Chirality Amplification: A New Way to Detect Cryptochiral Compounds

The contradiction between the rising demands of optical chirality sensing and the failure in chiral detection of cryptochiral compounds encourages researchers to find new methods for chirality amplification. Inspired by planar chirality and the host–guest recognition of pillararenes, we establish a new concept for amplifying CD signals of cryptochiral molecules by pillararene host–guest complexation induced chirality amplification. The planar chirality of pillararenes is induced and stabilized in the presence of the chiral guest, which makes the cryptochiral molecule detectable by CD spectroscopy. Several chiral guests are selected in these experiments and the mechanism of chiral amplification is studied with a non‐rotatable pillararene derivative and density functional theory calculations. We believe this work affords deeper understanding of chirality and provides a new perspective for chiral sensing.     

GridMol2.0: Implementation and application of linear-scale quantum mechanics methods and molecular visualization

GridMol is a “one-stop” platform for molecular structure building, scientific computing, and molecular visualization aided by a high-performance computing environment. GridMol version 2.0 introduces two unique features: the first is fragment-based linear-scaling quantum chemistry methods, such as molecular fractionation with conjugate caps and fragment molecular orbital methods; the second is that GridMol enables users to visualize molecular geometries along a geometry optimization and an intrinsic reaction coordinate calculation. Compared with version 1.0, fragment-based linear-scaling quantum chemistry methods implemented in GridMol version 2.0 can be used as a useful tool for performing quantum calculations for large molecular systems to explore the mechanisms involved in protein-ligand or targeted drug interactions.     

The hydrogen‐bond effect on the high pressure behavior of hydrazinium monochloride

The first high pressure study of solid hydrazinium monochloride has been performed by in situ Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron X‐ray diffraction (XRD) experiments in diamond anvil cell (DAC) up to 39.5 and 24.6 GPa, respectively. The structure of phase I at room temperature is confirmed to be space group C2/c by the Raman spectral analysis and Rietveld refinement of the XRD pattern. A structural transition from phase I to II is observed at 7.3 GPa. Pressure‐induced position variation of hydrogen atoms in NH₃⁺ unit during the phase transition is attributed to the formation of N―H…Cl hydrogen‐bonds, which play a vital role in the stability and subsequent structural changes of this high energetic material under pressure. This inference is proved from the abnormal pressure shifts and obvious Fermi resonance in NH stretching mode of N₂H₅⁺ ion in the Raman experiment. Finally, a further transition from phase II to III accompanied with a slight internal distortion in the N₂H₅⁺ ions occurs above 19.8 GPa, and phase III persists up to 39.5 GPa.

The Enhanced Encapsulation Capacity of Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane‐based Copolymers for the Fabrication of Electrospun Core/Shell Fibers

This paper reports the use of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)‐based copolymers to stabilize the core/shell interface for the facile fabrication of electrospun core/shell fibers. For the poly[(propylmethacryl‐heptaisobutyl‐polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane)‐co‐(methyl methacrylate)] (POSS‐MMA)/poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) system, the bicontinuity of hybrid core/shell fibers can be tuned by controlling the phase separation of POSS‐MMA/PCL in electrospinning solutions and therefore the size of PCL‐in‐POSS‐MMA emulsion droplets. Our results demonstrate the enhanced encapsulation capacity of POSS‐MMA copolymers as shell materials. Taking advantage of the rapid advancement of POSS‐based copolymer synthesis, this study can potentially be generalized to guide the fabrication of various other POSS‐based core/shell nano‐/microstructures by using single‐nozzle electrospinning or coaxial electrospinning.

     

A novel optimal sensitivity design scheme for yarn tension sensor using surface acoustic wave device

In this paper, we propose a novel optimal sensitivity design scheme for the yarn tension sensor using surface acoustic wave (SAW) device. In order to obtain the best sensitivity, the regression model between the size of the SAW yarn tension sensor substrate and the sensitivity of the SAW yarn tension sensor was established using the least square method. The model was validated too. Through analyzing the correspondence between the regression function monotonicity and its partial derivative sign, the effect of the SAW yarn tension sensor substrate size on the sensitivity of the SAW yarn tension sensor was investigated. Based on the regression model, a linear programming model was established to gain the optimal sensitivity of the SAW yarn tension sensor. The linear programming result shows that the maximum sensitivity will be achieved when the SAW yarn tension sensor substrate length is equal to 15 mm and its width is equal to 3 mm within a fixed interval of the substrate size. An experiment of SAW yarn tension sensor about 15 mm long and 3 mm wide was presented. Experimental results show that the maximum sensitivity 1982.39 Hz/g was accomplished, which confirms that the optimal sensitivity design scheme is useful and effective.     

Innovative nano-layered solid sorbents for CO2 capture

Nano-layered sorbents for CO(2) capture, for the first time, were developed using layer-by-layer nanoassembly. A CO(2)-adsorbing polymer and a strong polyelectrolyte were alternately immobilized within porous particles. The developed sorbents had fast CO(2) adsorption and desorption properties and their CO(2) capture capacity increased with increasing nano-layers of the CO(2)-adsorbing polymer.
