Synthesis of structurally diverse diarylketones through the diarylmethyl sp CH oxidation

Under open-flask conditions, an efficient method to assemble a series of diversely functionalized diarylketones in the presence of commercially available NBS has been developed. Yields of up to 99% have been achieved employing diarylmethanes as starting material. Based on ¹⁸O-labeled experiment, the addition of stoichiometric water eventually leads to excellent yields in all carbonylation cases.

超级电容器石墨烯-聚苯胺复合材料的研究进展

超级电容器具有功率密度高、充放电速度快、循环寿命长和维护成本低的特点,在电动车动力电池领域具有潜在的应用前景。超级电容器性能主要由其电极材料所决定。聚苯胺易合成、理论比容量高,而且导电性能优异,作为超级电容器电极材料有很高的应用价值。但是,在长期使用过程中,它的体积容易发生膨胀或收缩,循环寿命差。为了解决这个问题,将聚苯胺与石墨烯复合可以扬长避短,充分利用两者之间的协同效应,赋予复合材料优异电化学电容性能。本文综述了超级电容器用石墨烯-聚苯胺复合材料的制备方法,包括原位聚合法、油水界面合成法、电化学合成法、层层自组装法等;提出了三维网状石墨烯和对石墨烯-聚苯胺复合材料进行改性来提高复合材料的电化学电容性能的思路。     

Cross-Module Enoylreduction in the Azalomycin F Polyketide Synthase

The colinearity of canonical modular polyketide synthases, which creates a direct link between multienzyme structure and the chemical structure of the biosynthetic end-product, has become a cornerstone of knowledge-based genome mining. Herein, we report genetic and enzymatic evidence for the remarkable role of an enoylreductase in the polyketide synthase for azalomycin F biosynthesis. This internal enoylreductase domain, previously identified as acting only in the second of two chain extension cycles on an initial iterative module, is shown to also catalyze enoylreduction in trans within the next module. The mechanism for this rare deviation from colinearity appears to involve direct cross-modular interaction of the reductase with the longer acyl chain, rather than back transfer of the substrate into the iterative module, suggesting an additional and surprising plasticity in natural PKS assembly-line catalysis.     

Hopf Bifurcation for a Susceptible-Infective Model with Infection-Age Structure

An SIS model is investigated in which the infective individuals are assumed to have an infection-age structure. The model is formulated as an abstract non-densely defined Cauchy problem. We study some dynamical properties of the model by using the theory of integrated semigroups, the Hopf bifurcation theory and the normal form theory for semilinear equations with non-dense domain. Qualitative analysis indicates that there exist some parameter values such that this SIS model has a non-trivial periodic solution which bifurcates from the positive equilibrium. Furthermore, the explicit formulae are given to determine the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions. Numerical simulations are also carried out to support our theoretical results.

A carbon–LiFePO<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanocomposite as high-performance cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

A cathode material of an electrically conducting carbon–LiFePO₄ nanocomposite is synthesized by wet ball milling and spray drying of precursor powders prior to a solid-state reaction. The structural characterization shows that the composite is composed of LiFePO₄ crystals and 4.8 wt.% amorphous carbon. Galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements indicate that the composite exhibits a superior high energy and high cycling stability. This composite delivers a discharge capacity of 159.1 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 C, 150.8 mAh g⁻¹ at 1 C, and 140.1 mAh g⁻¹ at 2 C rate. The capacity retention of 99% is achieved after 200 cycles at 2 C. The 18,650 cylindrical batteries are assembled using the composite as cathode materials and demonstrate the capacity of 1,400 mAh and the capacity retention of 97% after 100 cycles at 1 C. These results reveal that the as-prepared LiFePO₄–carbon composite is one of the promising cathode materials for high-performance, advanced lithium-ion batteries directed to the hybrid electric vehicle and pure electric vehicle markets.     

Fabrication of concave microlens arrays using controllable dielectrophoretic force in template holes

This Letter presents a method for fabricating concave microlens arrays of UV-curable polymer by using the dielectrophoresis (DEP) force. The DEP force, generated by a voltage between the patterned conductive template and substrate, acting on the polymer-air interface, can drive the dielectric liquid polymer into the template holes and change the shape of the polymer-air interface. The upper polymer surface of fabricated microlens is super smooth, which can reduce optical noise. The upper surface geometry is measured approximately as parabolic in general, which can lead to a negligible spherical aberration, compared to spherical surfaces.     

AlF<Subscript>3</Subscript> coating of LiNi<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>Mn<Subscript>1.5</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> for high-performance Li-ion batteries

AlF₃-coating is attempted to improve the performance of LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. The prepared powders are characterized by scanning electron microscope, powder X-ray diffraction, charge/discharge, and impedance. The coated LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ samples show higher discharge capacity, better rate capability, and higher capacity retention than the uncoated samples. Among the coated samples, 1.0 mol% AlF₃-coated sample shows highest capacity after charge–discharged at 30 mA/g for 3 cycles, but 4.0 mol% coated sample exhibits the highest capacity and cycling stability when cycled at high rate of 150 and 300 mA/g. The 40th cycle discharge capacity at 300 mA/g current still remains 114.8 mAh/g for 4.0 mol% AlF₃-coated LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄, while only 84.3 mAh/g for the uncoated sample.

The charge/discharge characteristics of the sulfur composite cathodes were investigated at different temperatures and different current densities. The composite presented the discharge capacities of 854 and 632 mAh g⁻¹ at 60 and −20 °C, respectively, while it had the discharge capacities of 792 mAh g⁻¹ at 25 °C. The composite presented the discharge capacities of 792 and 604 mAh g⁻¹ at 55.6 and 667 mA g⁻¹, respectively, at room temperature. The results showed that the sulfur composite cathodes presented good charge/discharge characteristics between 60 and −20 °C and at a high c-rate up to 667 mA g⁻¹.
