Reactive Polymer as Artificial Solid Electrolyte Interface for Stable Lithium Metal Batteries

Lithium (Li) metal anodes have the highest theoretical capacity and lowest electrochemical potential making them ideal for Li metal batteries (LMBs). However, Li dendrite formation on the anode impedes the proper discharge capacity and practical cycle life of LMBs, particularly in carbonate electrolytes. Herein, we developed a reactive alternative polymer named P(St-MaI) containing carboxylic acid and cyclic ether moieties which would in situ form artificial polymeric solid electrolyte interface (SEI) with Li. This SEI can accommodate volume changes and maintain good interfacial contact. The presence of carboxylic acid and cyclic ether pendant groups greatly contribute to the induction of uniform Li ion deposition. In addition, the presence of benzyl rings makes the polymer have a certain mechanical strength and plays a key role in inhibiting the growth of Li dendrites. As a result, the symmetric Li||Li cell with P(St-MaI)@Li layer can stably cycle for over 900 h under 1 mA cm⁻² without polarization voltage increasing, while their Li||LiFePO₄ full batteries maintain high capacity retention of 96 % after 930 cycles at 1C in carbonate electrolytes. The innovative strategy of artificial SEI is broadly applicable in designing new materials to inhibit Li dendrite growth on Li metal anodes.     

Far infrared-assisted extraction followed by MEKC for the simultaneous determination of flavones and phenolic acids in the leaves of Rhododendron mucronulatum Turcz

A method based on micellar electrokinetic chromatography with amperometric detection and far infrared‐assisted extraction has been developed for the simultaneous determination of two flavones (rutin and farrerol) and three phenolic acids (syringic acid, vanillic acid, and 4‐hydroxybenzoic acid) in the dried leaves of Rhododendron mucronulatum Turcz., a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. The effects of some important factors such as the voltage applied on the infrared generator, irradiation time, the concentration of borate and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), separation voltage, and detection potential were investigated to acquire the optimum conditions. The detection electrode was a 300‐μm diameter carbon disc electrode. The five analytes could be well separated within 8 min in a 40 cm‐long capillary at a separation voltage of 12 kV in a 50 mM borate buffer (pH 9.2) containing 50 mM SDS. The relationship between peak current and analyte concentration was linear over about three orders of magnitude with the detection limits (S/N=3) ranging from 0.20 to 0.46 μM. The results indicated that far infrared irradiations significantly enhanced the extraction efficiency. The extraction time was substantially reduced to 6 min compared with 3 h for conventional hot solvent extraction.

Preparation and properties of luminous materials of CaSiO3: Pb, Mn by sol-gel method

The luminous materials of CaSiO₃: Pb, Mn were synthesized by sol-gel method and ultrasound technology. The properties of the phosphors were characterized by luminescence spectrum, differential thermal analysis and thermal gravimetry analysis (DTA-TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of factors such as the synthetic material compositions, ultrasound time and annealed temperature on phosphorescent brightness of sample were studied and the optimum synthetic conditions were determined. The results show that, compared with the sample made by the high temperature solid-state reaction, the luminescent intensity of the CaSiO₃: Pb, Mn sample increased by about 200% and the mean diameter of particles of the sample decreased by about 300 nm. __________ Translated from Chemical Research and Application, 2007, 19(2): 140–144 [译自: 化学研究与应用]     

Development of a heterobimetallic Ru(II)-Cu(II) complex for highly selective and sensitive luminescence sensing of sulfide anions

A heterobimetallic ruthenium(II)-copper(II) complex-based luminescent chemosensor, [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy-DPA)Cu](4+) (bpy: 2,2'-bipyridine; bpy-DAP: 4-methyl-4'-[N,N-bis(2-picolyl)amino-methylene]-2,2'-bipydine), has been designed and synthesized for the highly selective and sensitive recognition and detection of sulfide anions in 100% aqueous solutions. Owing to the high affinity of sulfide to Cu(II), the non-luminescent chemosensor can specifically and rapidly react with sulfide to yield the corresponding ruthenium(II) complex, [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy-DPA)](2+), accompanied by the remarkable luminescence enhancement. The dose-dependent luminescence enhancement of the sensor shows a good linearity with a detection limit of 20.7 nM for sulfide anions. The novel luminescence sensor has a widely available pH range from 4.5 to 10 and an excellent response selectivity to sulfide only even in the presence of various other anions. Based on this chemosensor, a rapid, selective and sensitive luminescence method for the detection of sulfide anions in wastewater samples was established. The coefficient variations (CVs) of the method are less than 3.1%, and the recoveries are in the range of 90.9-108.5%.

Particularly, compound 1 shows the remarkable selectivity, anti‐interference, and recyclability for sensing Cr (III) ion through the fluorescence enhancement. Meanwhile, compound 1 can also serve as a sensor for detecting the trace amounts of Cr (VI) ion and 2,4,6‐trinitrophenol (TNP) with high selectivity and recyclability through the fluorescence quenching effect. Furthermore, the detection mechanisms of compound 1 as a fluorescence sensor for different analytes have been explored in detail.

Determination of carbohydrates in Folium Lysium Chinensis using capillary electrophoresis combined with far-infrared light irradiation-assisted extraction

In this work, a method based on capillary electrophoresis with amperometric detection and far-infrared-assisted extraction has been developed for the determination of mannitol, sucrose, glucose and fructose in Folium Lysium Chinensis, a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. The water-soluble constituents in the herbal drug were extracted with double distilled water with the assistance of far-infrared radiations. The effects of detection potential, irradiation time, and the voltage applied on the infrared generator were investigated to acquire the optimum analysis conditions. The detection electrode was a 300-μm-diameter copper disk electrode at a detection potential of +0.65 V. The four carbohydrates could be well separated within 18 min in a 50-cm length fused-silica capillary at a separation voltage of 9 kV in a 50-mM NaOH aqueous solution. The relation between peak current and analyte concentration was linear over about three orders of magnitude with detection limits (S/N=3) ranging from 0.66 to 1.15 μM for all analytes. The results indicated that far infrared significantly enhanced the extraction efficiency of the carbohydrates in Folium Lysium Chinensis. The extraction time was significantly reduced to 7 min compared with several hours for conventional hot solvent extraction.
