高力学强度细菌纤维素气凝胶纤维的连续化制备

气凝胶纤维因其高外表面积和高柔韧性在能量管理系统中具有潜在应用而引起了广泛关注.但是,目前制备的气凝胶纤维力学强度较低,限制了其实际应用.为提高气凝胶纤维力学性能,在始终保持细菌纤维素(BC)纳米纤维处于湿态下,利用NaOH/尿素/硫脲复合溶剂直接低温溶解原生BC,获得透明的BC纺丝原液;通过湿法纺丝制备了BC水凝胶纤维,经过水洗和冷冻干燥后处理,制得BC气凝胶纤维.采用偏光显微镜(POM)、13C核磁共振(13C-NMR)和高级旋转流变仪研究BC在复合溶剂中的溶解过程与状态;利用全反射傅里叶变换红外吸收光谱(ATR-FTIR)、X射线衍射(XRD)和热失重(TG)研究BC溶解前后结构与性能变化;利用场发射扫描电镜(FESEM)、全自动比表面积和孔径分布分析仪、单丝强力仪对获得的BC气凝胶纤维结构与性能进行表征.结果表明,复合溶剂在?15℃条件下可以直接溶解原生湿态BC,最高溶解浓度为3 wt%;采用湿法纺丝制得高度多孔的连续BC气凝胶纤维,比表面积高达192 m^2/g且具有优异的力学性能,断裂强度和杨氏模量高达(9.36±1.68)MPa和(176±17.55)MPa,如0.4 mg BC气凝胶纤维可以支撑高于其本身质量5×10^4倍的重物.     

Atomic-Scale Insight into Exsolution of CoFe Alloy Nanoparticles in La0.4Sr0.6Co0.2Fe0.7Mo0.1O3−δ with Efficient CO2 Electrolysis

In situ exsolution of metal nanoparticles in perovskite under reducing atmosphere is employed to generate a highly active metal–oxide interface for CO₂ electrolysis in a solid oxide electrolysis cell. Atomic-scale insight is provided into the exsolution of CoFe alloy nanoparticles in La_0.4Sr_0.6Co_0.2Fe_0.7Mo_0.1O_3−δ (LSCFM) by in situ scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and DFT calculations. The doped Mo atoms occupy B sites of LSCFM, which increases the segregation energy of Co and Fe ions at B sites and improves the structural stability of LSCFM under a reducing atmosphere. In situ STEM measurements visualized sequential exsolution of Co and Fe ions, formation of CoFe alloy nanoparticles, and reversible exsolution and dissolution of CoFe alloy nanoparticles in LSCFM. The metal–oxide interface improves CO₂ adsorption and activation, showing a higher CO₂ electrolysis performance than the LSCFM counterparts.     

Back cover: Mn2+ or Mn3+? Investigating transition metal dissolution of manganese species in lithium ion battery electrolytes by capillary electrophoresis

A new CE method with ultraviolet–visible detection was developed in this study to investigate manganese dissolution in lithium ion battery electrolytes. The aqueous running buffer based on diphosphate showed excellent stabilization of labile Mn³⁺, even under electrophoretic conditions. The method was optimized regarding the concentration of diphosphate and modifier to obtain suitable signals for quantification. Additionally, the finally obtained method was applied on carbonate-based electrolytes samples. Dissolution experiments of the cathode material LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ (lithium nickel manganese oxide [LNMO]) in aqueous diphosphate buffer at defined pH were performed to investigate the effect of a transition metal-ion-scavenger on the oxidation state of dissolved manganese. Quantification of both Mn species revealed the formation of mainly Mn³⁺, which can be attributed to a comproportionation reaction of dissolved and complexed Mn²⁺ with Mn⁴⁺ at the surface of the LNMO structure. It was also shown that the formation of Mn³⁺ increased with lower pH. In contrast, dissolution experiments of LNMO in carbonate-based electrolytes containing LIPF₆ showed only dissolution of Mn²⁺.     

有机电极材料固定化策略

有机电极材料因其理论比容量高、低成本、环境友好以及分子结构可设计性强等特点,有望成为下一代可持续和多功能能量储存设备的有效电极材料。然而,根据“相似相溶”原理,该类材料极易溶解在有机电解液中,导致电池容量衰减快、循环稳定性和倍率性能也较差。目前已有许多研究致力于通过“固定化”过程解决有机电极材料的溶解问题。本综述针对有机电极材料的固定化策略展开评述,介绍了有机电极材料的固定化机理,以及各种固定化策略在不同种类有机电极材料中所起的作用,指出了有机电极材料面临的挑战,并对未来的研究和改进方向进行展望。     

Controlling the Microstructure of Conjugated Polymers in High‐Mobility Monolayer Transistors via the Dissolution Temperature

It remains a challenge to precisely tailor the morphology of polymer monolayers to control charge transport. Herein, the effect of the dissolution temperature (T_dis) is investigated as a powerful strategy for morphology control. Low T_dis values cause extended polymer aggregation in solution and induce larger nanofibrils in a monolayer network with more pronounced π–π stacking. The field‐effect mobility of the corresponding monolayer transistors is significantly enhanced by a factor of four compared to devices obtained from high T_dis with a value approaching 1 cm² V^?1 s^?1. Besides that, the solution kinetics reveal a higher growth rate of aggregates at low T_dis, and filtration experiments further confirm that the dependence of the fibril width in monolayers on T_dis is consistent with the aggregate size in solution. The generalizability of the T_dis effect on polymer aggregation is demonstrated using three other conjugated polymer systems. These results open new avenues for the precise control of polymer aggregation for high‐mobility monolayer transistors.     

A High Performing Zn‐Ion Battery Cathode Enabled by In Situ Transformation of V2O5 Atomic Layers

Developing high capacity and stable cathodes is a key to successful commercialization of aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (ZIBs). Pure layered V₂O₅ has a high theoretical capacity (585 mAh g^?1), but it suffers severe capacity decay. Pre‐inserting cations into V₂O₅ can substantially stabilize the performance, but at an expense of lowered capacity. Here we show that an atomic layer deposition derived V₂O₅ can be an excellent ZIB cathode with high capacity and exceptional cycle stability at once. We report a rapid in situ on‐site transformation of V₂O₅ atomic layers into Zn₃V₂O₇(OH)₂?2 H₂O (ZVO) nanoflake clusters, also a known Zn‐ion and proton intercalatable material. High concentration of reactive sites, strong bonding to the conductive substrate, nanosized thickness and binder‐free composition facilitate ionic transport and promote the best utilization of the active material. We also provide new insights into the V₂O₅‐dissolution mechanisms for different Zn‐salt aqueous electrolytes and their implications to the cycle stability.     

Portable capillary liquid chromatography for pharmaceutical and illicit drug analysis

A newly developed portable capillary liquid chromatograph was investigated for the separation of various pharmaceutical and illicit drug compounds. The system consists of two high‐pressure syringe pumps capable of delivering capillary‐scale flow rates at pressures up to 10 000 psi. Capillary liquid chromatography columns packed with sub‐2 μm particles are housed in cartridges that can be inserted into the system and easily connected through high‐pressure fluidic contact points by simply applying a specific, predetermined torque rather than using standard fittings and less precise sealing protocols. Several over‐the‐counter analgesic drug separations are demonstrated, along with a simple online measurement of tablet dissolution. Twenty illicit drug compounds were also separated across six targeted drug panels. The results described in this study demonstrate the capability of this compact liquid chromatography instrument to address several important drug‐related applications while simplifying system operation, and greatly reducing solvent usage and waste generation essential for onsite analysis.     

离子浓度及表面结构对岩石孔隙内水流动特性的影响

酸性环境引发的岩石孔隙表面溶解增加了孔隙内水溶液的盐离子浓度,破坏了孔隙的表面结构.本文采用分子动力学模拟的方法研究了纳米级岩石孔隙内水溶液的流动特性,分析了盐离子浓度和孔隙表面结构对水流速度分布的影响及原因.研究结果表明:纳米级岩石孔隙内的水溶液流动符合泊肃叶流动特性,流速呈"抛物线"分布;随盐离子浓度增加,水溶液内部氢键网络变得更为致密,水黏度随其呈线性增长;水溶液中离子浓度越大,孔隙表面对水流动的阻力越大,最大流速越小,速度分布的"抛物线"曲率半径越大;岩石孔隙表面结构的破坏改变了流动表面的粗糙程度,增加了孔隙表面对H2O分子的吸引力.随表面结构破坏程度的增大,水溶液在近壁区域的密度增大,流速降低;当表面破坏程度达到50%时,水溶液在近壁区域出现了明显的负边界滑移现象.
