The introduction of the electron-deficient 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole units into the MEH-PPV backbone also increases the electron affinities of the conjugated segment, which leads to the blue-shift of the maximum absorption wavelength and makes the polymer have a high optical band-gap energy, good electron-transporting stability and high PL quantum yield.展开更多

The colloidal spheres were formed through gradual hydrophobic aggregation of the polymeric chains in THF-H2O dispersion media, which was induced by a steady increase in the water content. Results showed that the addition of a small amount of surfactant (SDBS) could significantly narrow the size distribution of the colloidal spheres. The size distribution of the colloidal spheres was determined by the concentrations of azo polymer and the amount of surfactant in the systems. When the concentrations of polymer and surfactant amount were in a proper range, colloidal spheres with narrow size distribution could be obtained. The colloidal spheres formed by this method could be elongated along the polarization direction of the laser beams to be a new type of the colloid-based functional materials. upon Ar^+ laser irradiation. The colloidal spheres are considered展开更多

The cross-linked polymer films were obtained by thermal polymerization of the acrylic groups in the copolymers, during which, by controlling the time of cross-linking reaction, the films can be made with different cross-linking degree (from 0 to 32%, which was monitored by FT-IR spectra measurement). Photo-induced alignment process of the films was performed under irradiation with linearly polarized light at 442 nm, and the effect of cross-linking degree on the photo-induced alignment rate was investigated. The dynamics of the photo-induced alignment was analyzed with biexponential curve fitting. The photo-induced alignment rate and the maximum transmittance of the films decreased because of the cross-linking. Furthermore, for the cross-linked samples, it was found that their saturated value of transmittances keep constant after repeated "writing" and "erasing" cycles. The findings reveal that the cross-linking of the film can effectively restrain the phototactic mass transport of azopolymer during irradiation by polarized light. The relationship between the cross-linking degree and the photo-induced alignment behavior of azopolymer is discussed in detail.展开更多

The hyperbranched polymers containing pseudo-stilbene type azo chromophores throughout the hyperbranched structure were synthesized by step-growth polycondensation of AB2 type monomers. The AB2 monomer, 4-(4'-(bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)- phenylazo)benzoic acid (BAA), was prepared through azo-coupling reaction between N,N'-bis(2-chloroethyl)aniline and 4- aminobenzenic acid. The another AB2 monomer, 4-(4'-(bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)phenylazo)-3-nitro-benzoic acid (BANA), was prepared through azo-coupling reaction between N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)aniline and 3-nitro-4-aminobenzenic acid. The hyperbranched polymers (PBAA and PBANA) were prepared through nucleophilic substitution reaction of BAA and BANA, respectively. The polymers synthesized were characterized by using spectroscopic methods and thermal analysis. The photoinduced dichroism and photo-induced surface-relief-grating (SRG) formation of the hyperbranched polymers were investigated upon irradiation with Ar+ laser at 488 nm. PBAA shows typical photoinduced dichroism SRG formation behavior. On the contrary, PBANA does not show the photoresponsive properties. The results indicate that the nitro at the ortho position of azo group of PBANA shows the effect of inhibiting the photoinduced variations. The effect can be attributed to the blockage of the trans-cis isomerization of the azobenzene moieties by the steric hindrance.展开更多

Recently, we developed a series of two-dimension-conjugated polymers based on bithienylbenzodithiophene-alt-benzotriazole backbone bearing different conjugated side chains, generally called J-series polymers. They are medium energy bandgap(Eg) polymers(Eg of ca. 1.80 eV)with strong absorptions in the range of 400-650 nm, and exhibit ordered crystalline structures, high hole mobilities, and more interestingly,tunable energy levels depending on the structure variations. In this feature article, we highlight our recent efforts on the design and synthesis of those J-series polymer donors, including an introduction on the polymer design strategy and emphasis on the crucial function of differential conjugated side chain. Finally, the future opportunities and challenges of the J-series polymers in PSCs are discussed.展开更多

文摘The microbial degradation of aromatic organic pollutants is incomplete due to their metabolic characteristics,which can easily produce certain highly toxic intermediates.Therefore,this article designs a dual template molec-ularly imprinted sensor(DTMIP/Fe-Mn@C)for iron manganese metal nanomaterials,prepared Fe-Mn@C com-posite materials by a one pot method were coated on the surface of glassy carbon electrodes and covered with molecularly imprinted membranes through electropolymerization and elution methods,achieving real-time de-tection of specific intermediate products 2-methylbutyric acid(2-MBA)and 3-methylbutyric acid(3-MBA)de-graded by azo dyes.In order to determine the detection sensitivity and intensity range of the sensor,optimization experiments were conducted on various parameters that affect the detection performance,such as the type of func-tional monomer and its composition ratio with the template molecule,detection time window,environmental pH value,etc.Finally,o-Phenylenediamine was determined as the functional monomer,with a molar ratio of 1:1:6 to the template molecules 2-MBA and 3-MBA.Electrochemical testing was conducted in a neutral environment with an incubation time of 5 min and pH=7.The results indicate that the sensor has a relatively wide detection range,high sensitivity,obvious recognition features,and excellent stability for 2-MBA and 3-MBA.This new dual template molecularly imprinted sensor can quickly and accurately determine the safety of highly toxic interme-diates in the degradation process of aromatic organic pollutants,providing a theoretical basis and application potential for trace detection and real-time monitoring.

文摘Thermoelectric(TE)materials,being capable of converting waste heat into electricity,are pivotal for sustainable energy solutions.Among emerging TE materials,organic TE materials,particularly conjugated polymers,are gaining prominence due to their unique combination of mechanical flexibility,environmental compatibility,and solution-processable fabrication.A notable candidate in this field is poly(2,5-bis(3-alkylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene)(PBTTT),a liquid-crystalline conjugated polymer,with high charge carrier mobility and adaptability to melt-processing techniques.Recent advancements have propelled PBTTT’s figure of merit from below 0.1 to a remarkable 1.28 at 368 K,showcasing its potential for practical applications.This review systematically examines strategies to enhance PBTTT’s TE performance through doping(solution,vapor,and anion exchange doping),composite engineering,and aggregation state controlling.Recent key breakthroughs include ion exchange doping for stable charge modulation,multi-heterojunction architectures reducing thermal conductivity,and proton-coupled electron transfer doping for precise Fermi-level tuning.Despite great progress,challenges still persist in enhancing TE conversion efficiency,balancing or decoupling electrical conductivity,Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity,and leveraging melt-processing scalability of PBTTT.By bridging fundamental insights with applied research,this work provides a roadmap for advancing PBTTT-based TE materials toward efficient energy harvesting and wearable electronics.
文摘Bone regeneration for non-load-bearing defects remains a significant clinical challenge requiring advanced biomaterials and cellular strategies.Adiposederived mesenchymal stem cells(AD-MSCs)have garnered significant interest in bone tissue engineering(BTE)because of their abundant availability,minimally invasive harvesting procedures,and robust differentiation potential into osteogenic lineages.Unlike bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells,AD-MSCs can be easily obtained in large quantities,making them appealing alternatives for therapeutic applications.This review explores hydrogels containing polymers,such as chitosan,collagen,gelatin,and hyaluronic acid,and their composites,tailored for BTE,and emphasizes the importance of these hydrogels as scaffolds for the delivery of AD-MSCs.Various hydrogel fabrication techniques and biocompatibility assessments are discussed,along with innovative modifications to enhance osteogenesis.This review also briefly outlines AD-MSC isolation methods and advanced embedding techniques for precise cell placement,such as direct encapsulation and three-dimensional bioprinting.We discuss the mechanisms of bone regeneration in the AD-MSC-laden hydrogels,including osteoinduction,vascularization,and extracellular matrix remodeling.We also review the preclinical and clinical applications of AD-MSC-hydrogel systems,emphasizing their success and limitations.In this review,we provide a comprehensive overview of AD-MSC-based hydrogel systems to guide the development of effective therapies for bone regeneration.

文摘Composite polymer electrolytes(CPEs)offer a promising solution for all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries(ASSLMBs).However,conventional nanofillers with Lewis-acid-base surfaces make limited contribution to improving the overall performance of CPEs due to their difficulty in achieving robust electrochemical and mechanical interfaces simultaneously.Here,by regulating the surface charge characteristics of halloysite nanotube(HNT),we propose a concept of lithium-ion dynamic interface(Li^(+)-DI)engineering in nano-charged CPE(NCCPE).Results show that the surface charge characteristics of HNTs fundamentally change the Li^(+)-DI,and thereof the mechanical and ion-conduction behaviors of the NCCPEs.Particularly,the HNTs with positively charged surface(HNTs+)lead to a higher Li^(+)transference number(0.86)than that of HNTs-(0.73),but a lower toughness(102.13 MJ m^(-3)for HNTs+and 159.69 MJ m^(-3)for HNTs-).Meanwhile,a strong interface compatibilization effect by Li^(+)is observed for especially the HNTs+-involved Li^(+)-DI,which improves the toughness by 2000%compared with the control.Moreover,HNTs+are more effective to weaken the Li^(+)-solvation strength and facilitate the formation of Li F-rich solid-electrolyte interphase of Li metal compared to HNTs-.The resultant Li|NCCPE|LiFePO4cell delivers a capacity of 144.9 m Ah g^(-1)after 400 cycles at 0.5 C and a capacity retention of 78.6%.This study provides deep insights into understanding the roles of surface charges of nanofillers in regulating the mechanical and electrochemical interfaces in ASSLMBs.

文摘A poly ( p-phenylenevinylene ) ( PPV ) alternating copolymer, poly [ ( 2, 5-diphenylene-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole )-4-4' - vinylene-alt-2-methoxy-5-( 2-ethylhexyloxy )-1, 4-phenylenevinylene] (oxa-MEHPV), is synthesized by Heck coupling reaction and characterized with UV-vis, Fourier transform infrared ( FT-IR ), ^1H-NMR and photoluminescence ( PL ) spectroscopy, oxa-MEHPV possesses an outstanding thermal stability and shows excellent solubility in common organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, toluene, and tetrahydrofuran(THF). The introduction of the electron-deficient 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole units into the MEH-PPV backbone also increases the electron affinities of the conjugated segment, which leads to the blue-shift of the maximum absorption wavelength and makes the polymer have a high optical band-gap energy, good electron-transporting stability and high PL quantum yield.

文摘A surfactant-assisted method for preparing colloidal spheres with narrow size distribution from a polydispersed azo polymer has been developed in this work. The colloidal spheres were formed through gradual hydrophobic aggregation of the polymeric chains in THF-H2O dispersion media, which was induced by a steady increase in the water content. Results showed that the addition of a small amount of surfactant (SDBS) could significantly narrow the size distribution of the colloidal spheres. The size distribution of the colloidal spheres was determined by the concentrations of azo polymer and the amount of surfactant in the systems. When the concentrations of polymer and surfactant amount were in a proper range, colloidal spheres with narrow size distribution could be obtained. The colloidal spheres formed by this method could be elongated along the polarization direction of the laser beams to be a new type of the colloid-based functional materials. upon Ar^+ laser irradiation. The colloidal spheres are considered

文摘This article presents a brief overview of recent advances in azo-containing supramolecular systems.In literature,it has been shown that azo supramolecular polymers and their composite materials exhibit fast and intelligent responses to various external stimuli,such as temperature,pH change,redox reagents,ligands,coupling reagents,etc.In applications,these systems are widely used for molecular motors,shape memory,liquid crystal,solar thermal energy storage,signal transmission,intelligent encryption,and other purposes.Furthermore,these systems can function as key components for device upgrade processing.However,the design and rules of azo supramolecular polymers are still not supported by an exact theory.Information about the relationship between the spatial structure and behavior is lacking,and new supramolecular materials cannot be designed by adding functional moieties to known azo polymers.Based on the current research status,this review mainly summarizes the structural design principles as well as structures and applications of known azo supramolecules;meanwhile,it highlights the emerging development fields,recent advances,and prospects in fabricating sei住assembling intelligent supramolecular systems with azo supramolecular polymers as responsive units.The goal of this review is to bring new inspiration to researchers who want to optimize the chemical structure,steric conformation,electrostatic environment,and specific molecular functionalization.

文摘Three series of amorphous copolymers containing azobenzene groups with various substituents and certain amounts of crosslinkable acrylic groups were prepared. The cross-linked polymer films were obtained by thermal polymerization of the acrylic groups in the copolymers, during which, by controlling the time of cross-linking reaction, the films can be made with different cross-linking degree (from 0 to 32%, which was monitored by FT-IR spectra measurement). Photo-induced alignment process of the films was performed under irradiation with linearly polarized light at 442 nm, and the effect of cross-linking degree on the photo-induced alignment rate was investigated. The dynamics of the photo-induced alignment was analyzed with biexponential curve fitting. The photo-induced alignment rate and the maximum transmittance of the films decreased because of the cross-linking. Furthermore, for the cross-linked samples, it was found that their saturated value of transmittances keep constant after repeated "writing" and "erasing" cycles. The findings reveal that the cross-linking of the film can effectively restrain the phototactic mass transport of azopolymer during irradiation by polarized light. The relationship between the cross-linking degree and the photo-induced alignment behavior of azopolymer is discussed in detail.
文摘In this work, surface-relief-grating formation behavior was studied by using two hyperbranched azo polymers. The hyperbranched polymers containing pseudo-stilbene type azo chromophores throughout the hyperbranched structure were synthesized by step-growth polycondensation of AB2 type monomers. The AB2 monomer, 4-(4'-(bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)- phenylazo)benzoic acid (BAA), was prepared through azo-coupling reaction between N,N'-bis(2-chloroethyl)aniline and 4- aminobenzenic acid. The another AB2 monomer, 4-(4'-(bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)phenylazo)-3-nitro-benzoic acid (BANA), was prepared through azo-coupling reaction between N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)aniline and 3-nitro-4-aminobenzenic acid. The hyperbranched polymers (PBAA and PBANA) were prepared through nucleophilic substitution reaction of BAA and BANA, respectively. The polymers synthesized were characterized by using spectroscopic methods and thermal analysis. The photoinduced dichroism and photo-induced surface-relief-grating (SRG) formation of the hyperbranched polymers were investigated upon irradiation with Ar+ laser at 488 nm. PBAA shows typical photoinduced dichroism SRG formation behavior. On the contrary, PBANA does not show the photoresponsive properties. The results indicate that the nitro at the ortho position of azo group of PBANA shows the effect of inhibiting the photoinduced variations. The effect can be attributed to the blockage of the trans-cis isomerization of the azobenzene moieties by the steric hindrance.

文摘To design high efficiency polymer solar cells(PSCs), it is of great importance to develop suitable polymer donors that work well with the low bandgap acceptors, providing complementary absorption, forming interpenetrating networks in the active layers and minimizing energy loss. Recently, we developed a series of two-dimension-conjugated polymers based on bithienylbenzodithiophene-alt-benzotriazole backbone bearing different conjugated side chains, generally called J-series polymers. They are medium energy bandgap(Eg) polymers(Eg of ca. 1.80 eV)with strong absorptions in the range of 400-650 nm, and exhibit ordered crystalline structures, high hole mobilities, and more interestingly,tunable energy levels depending on the structure variations. In this feature article, we highlight our recent efforts on the design and synthesis of those J-series polymer donors, including an introduction on the polymer design strategy and emphasis on the crucial function of differential conjugated side chain. Finally, the future opportunities and challenges of the J-series polymers in PSCs are discussed.
