ZnIn2S4 flowerlike microspheres embedded with carbon quantum dots for efficient photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)

Development of efficient heterostructured photocatalysts that respond to visible light remains a considerable challenge. We herein show the synthesis of ZnIn₂S₄/carbon quantum dot hybrid photocatalysts with flowerlike microspheres via a facile solvothermal method. The ZnIn₂S₄/carbon quantum dot flowerlike microspheres display enhanced photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activity compared with that of pure ZnIn₂S₄. With a content of only 0.5 wt % carbon quantum dots, 93% of Cr(VI) is reduced under visible-light irradiation at 40 min. As a co-catalyst, the carbon quantum dots improve the light absorption and lengthen the lifetime of charge carriers, consequently enhancing the photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activity.     

Polystyrene Sulfonate Threaded through a Metal–Organic Framework Membrane for Fast and Selective Lithium‐Ion Separation

Extraction of lithium ions from salt‐lake brines is very important to produce lithium compounds. Herein, we report a new approach to construct polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) threaded HKUST‐1 metal–organic framework (MOF) membranes through an in situ confinement conversion process. The resulting membrane PSS@HKUST‐1‐6.7, with unique anchored three‐dimensional sulfonate networks, shows a very high Li⁺ conductivity of 5.53×10^?4 S cm^?1 at 25 °C, 1.89×10^?3 S cm^?1 at 70 °C, and Li⁺ flux of 6.75 mol m^?2 h^?1, which are five orders higher than that of the pristine HKUST‐1 membrane. Attributed to the different size sieving effects and the affinity differences of the Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, and Mg²⁺ ions to the sulfonate groups, the PSS@HKUST‐1‐6.7 membrane exhibits ideal selectivities of 78, 99, and 10296 for Li⁺/Na⁺, Li⁺/K⁺, Li⁺/Mg²⁺ and real binary ion selectivities of 35, 67, and 1815, respectively, the highest ever reported among ionic conductors and Li⁺ extraction membranes.     

Global stability of a discrete virus dynamics model with Holling type‐II infection function

In this paper, we propose a discrete virus dynamics model with Holling type‐II infection function. By constructing Lyapunov function, we prove that if , then the infection‐free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; whereas if , then sufficient conditions are established for global stability of the infection equilibrium. Our results generalize some known results studied by other researchers. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

General method for ultrathin free-standing films of nanofibrous composite materials

A simple and general method for the preparation of ultrathin, large-area, free-standing films of nanofibrous composite materials was developed. First, positively charged cadmium hydroxide nanostrands of 1.9 nm in diameter and micrometers in length were prepared by mixing dilute aqueous solutions of cadmium chloride and aminoethanol. Negatively charged dye molecules, proteins, nanoparticles, and water-soluble fullerene or carbon nanotubes were mixed with the nanostrands to give a well-dispersed solution of the corresponding nanofibrous composites. After filtration of the dispersions with a polycarbonate membrane filter, uniform films with a thickness of a few tens to hundreds of nanometers and a diameter of a few centimeters were obtained. The films were readily peeled off from the membrane filter by immersion in ethanol. The resultant free-standing films could be further transferred to other substrates, such as quartz plate, gold electrode, and porous alumina membrane, and were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopies. We provide herein various nanofibrous free-standing films with optical, biological, metallic, and magnetic properties.     

Spontaneous coating of carbon nanotubes with an ultrathin polypyrrole layer

A novel protocol for precisely coating individual multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with an ultrathin layer of polypyrrole was developed. The nanocoated MWCNTs were successfully prepared by in situ chemical deposition of polypyrrole in an aqueous suspension of MWCNTs. The coating layer was very uniform and the thickness of the layer was determined by controlling the monomer concentration used, which gave nanometer precision. The products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and conductivity and current-voltage measurements. The ultrathin polypyrrole layer could electrically insulate individual MWCNTs.

The Mechanism of Phase Transition of Molecular Sieve VPI-5 into AlPO4-8

The aluminophosphate molecular sieve VPI-5 has received much attention as a new structure containing one-dimensional circular pores circumscribed by 18 tetrahedral atoms. The AlPO_4-8 is another new type of structure which was found to contain 1 4-ring open pores. Recently, we have successfully synthesized the molecular sieves of VPI-5 and AlPO_4-8, and found that the mixture of VPI-5 and AlPO_4-8 was easily formed under similar conditions, and VPI-5 can be converted to AlPO_4-8 by dehydration via heating. It is suggested that there exists relationship between the structures of VPI-5 and A1PO_4-8. Therefore, the study on the transition and relationship between VPI-5 and A1PO_4-8 is very important for designing and preparing new molecular sieves with new structures.
