文摘It is crucial to adapt the processing of forest bio-resources into biochemicals and bio-based ad-vanced materials in order to transform the current economic climate into a greener economy.Tall oil,as a by-product of the Kraft process of wood pulp manufacture,is a promising resource for the extraction of various value-added products.Tall oil fatty acids-based multifunctional Michael acceptor acrylates were developed.The suitability of developed acrylates for polymerization with tall oil fatty acids-based Michael donor acetoacetates to form a highly cross-linked polymer ma-terial via the Michael addition was investigated.With this novel strategy,valuable chemicals and innovative polymer materials can be produced from tall oil in an entirely new way,making a significant contribution to the development of a forest-based bioeconomy.Two different tall oil-based acrylates were successfully synthesized and characterized.Synthesized acrylates were successfully used in the synthesis of bio-based thermoset polymers.Obtained polymers had a wide variety of mechanical and thermal properties(glass transition temperature from-12.1 to 29.6°C by dynamic mechanical analysis,Young’s modulus from 15 to 1760 MPa,and stress at break from 0.9 to 16.1 MPa).Gel permeation chromatography,Fourier-transform infrared(FT-IR)spectroscopy,matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry,and nuclear magnetic resonance were used to analyse the chemical structure of synthesized acrylates.In addition,various titration methods and rheology tests were applied to characterize acrylates.The chemical composition and thermal and mechanical properties of the developed polymers were studied by using FT-IR,solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance,thermal gravimetric analy-sis,differential scanning calorimetry,dynamic mechanical analysis,and universal strength testing apparatus.
文摘Under solvothermal conditions,1,4‑naphthalenedicarboxylic acid(H_(2)ndc)and 9,9′‑dihexyl‑2,7‑di(pyridin‑4‑yl)fluorene(hfdp)reacted with Co^(2+)ions and Cd^(2+)ions to form two coordination polymers,[Co(hfdp)(ndc)(H2O)]·DMA}n(1)and{[Cd(hfdp)(ndc)(H_(2)O)]·DMA}_(n)(2),respectively(DMA=N,N‑dimethylacetamide).Single‑crystal X‑ray diffraction analyses showed that both complexes 1 and 2 contain similar structures.Topological analysis indicates that complexes 1 and 2 have a{44·62}planar structure.In addition,both complexes reveal good thermal stability and fluorescence sensing performance.They exhibited good sensitivity and selectivity towards 2,4,6‑trinitrophenol(TNP)by fluorescent quenching.The limits of detection of 1 and 2 for TNP were 0.107 and 0.327μmol·L^(-1),respectively.CCDC:2475515,1;2475516,2.

文摘Among various architectures of polymers,end-group-free rings have attracted growing interests due to their distinct physicochemical performances over the linear counterparts which are exemplified by reduced hydrodynamic size and slower degradation.It is key to develop facile methods to large-scale synthesis of polymer rings with tunable compositions and microstructures.Recent progresses in large-scale synthesis of polymer rings against single-chain dynamic nanoparticles,and the example applications in synchronous enhancing toughness and strength of polymer nanocomposites are summarized.Once there is the breakthrough in rational design and effective large-scale synthesis of polymer rings and their functional derivatives,a family of cyclic functional hybrids would be available,thus providing a new paradigm in developing polymer science and engineering.
文摘The ionothermal reaction between CuCl_(2),1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene(BBTZ),and(NH_(4))_(6)Mo_(7)O_(24) in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide((Emim)Br)led to a new octamolybdate-based coordination polymer(Emim)2[Cu(BBTZ)_(2)(β-Mo_(8)O_(26))](Mo_(8)-CP).Mo_(8)-CP was characterized by elemental analysis,thermogravime-try,IR,powder X-ray diffraction,and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.In Mo_(8)-CP,structural analysis reveals that Cu coordinates with BBTZ ligands to form an interlocked 1D chain.These chains are further bridged by(β-Mo_(8)O_(26))^(4-)to construct a 3D coordination polymer.Notably,(Emim)^(+)acts as a structure-directing agent,occupying the channels of the 3D coordination polymer.Based on this unique structure,the ion exchange properties of Mo_(8)-CP toward rare-earth ions were investigated.It has been found that the luminescent color of the material can be successfully regulat-ed by introducing Eu^(3+)or Tb^(3+)through ion exchange.CCDC:2475110,Mo_(8)-CP.
文摘The morphology of active layer plays a critical role in determining the photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells(OSCs).However,binary blends often suffer from suboptimal phase separation,which limits the efficiency of OSCs.Herein,two bridging polymer acceptors(PAs)—benzodithiophene-(2-ethylhexyl)oxy(BDT-C2C4)and benzodithiophene-octyloxy(BDT-C_(8))—are designed and synthesized by combining a benzodithiophene(BDT)unit as the donor moiety[poly({4,8-bis[5-(2-ethylhexyl)-4-fluorothiophen-2-yl]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-diyl}){5,8-bis[4-(2-butyloctyl)thiophen-2-yl]dithieno[3',2':3,4]},D18],and a 2,2′-((2Z,2′Z)-{[12,13-Bis(2-butyloctyl)-12,13-dihydro-3,9-dinonylthieno[2,3]thieno[3,2-b]pyrrolo[4,5-g]thieno[2,3-b]indole-2,10-diyl]bis(methanylylidene)}bis(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-2,1-diylidene))dimalononitrile(Y6)derivative as the acceptor moiety.BDT-C2C4 and BDT-C_(8) are functionalized with(2-ethylhexyl)oxy and octyloxy side chains on the BDT unit,respectively.Both PAs show complementary absorption and cascaded energy levels with the donor D18 and the acceptor 2,2′-((2Z,2′Z)-{[12,13-bis(3-ethylheptyl)-3,9-diundecyl-12,13-dihydro-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-e]thieno[2″,3″∶4′,5′]thieno[2′,3′∶4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-g]thieno[2′,3′∶4,5]thieno[3,2-b]indole-2,10-diyl]bis(meth⁃aneylylidene)}bis(5,6-difluoro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-2,1-diylidene))dimalononitrile(N3),but BDT-C_(8) exhibits better compatibility with D18 and N3 compared to BDT-C2C4.When incorporated as a third component into the D18∶N3 blend,both PAs improve the active layer morphology.In particular,the D18∶N3∶BDT-C_(8) blend shows significantly optimized morphology,featuring reduced phase separation and a fibrous network structure.As a result,the device based on D18∶N3∶BDT-C_(8) achieves a power conversion efficiency of 18.18%,significantly higher than that of the device based on D18∶N3(ca.17.37%).This work presents a compatibilizer strategy for optimizing blend morphology towards high-performance ternary OSCs.

文摘A new principle for producing fire-resistant polymer materials with increased deformation properties using a flame retardant not as a heterogeneous additive,but as a thermoplastic flame retardant in a hybrid polymer mixture with a polyhydrocarbon is considered.Hybrid polymer blends of low-molecular ammonium polyphosphate(APP)with an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer(EVA)with an APP content of 80 wt%with enhanced deformation properties were obtained by extrusion mixing at various temperatures in the range from 200°C to 250°C.A chemical scheme for the transformations of the components during the formation of the composite is proposed.X-ray diffraction analysis showed the formation of new crystalline structures of APP.The phase structure of the systems corresponding to the model of a dispersed-filled composite in which EVA plays the role of a matrix,determining the deformation of the mixture,and the filler is ammonium polyphosphate,was studied by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The method of FTIR microscopy showed chemical interactions between EVA and APP with the formation of amide groups.The conditions for obtaining compositions characterized by heat resistance of 210°C,oxygen index of 55 and ultimate elongation at drawing of 213%were established.

文摘Polymer-modified bentonite(PMB)is much more effective at containing chemically aggressive liquids than conventional bentonite.The PMB manufacturing process typically utilizes natural,high-quality sodium bentonite(NaB)owing to its excellent hydrophilicity and swelling capacity.However,calcium bentonite(CaB),which is much more abundant worldwide,is rarely used for containment applications owing to its poor hydrophilicity.This study proposed a polymerization method that transforms sodium-activated calcium bentonite(NCB)into PMB to achieve low hydraulic conductivity(k)to aggressive liquids.The mechanism for its low k was revealed through characterization techniques and analyses(e.g.X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET)).The results showed that the PMB had a small amount of polymer elution(indicating better interface stability)and thus exhibited excellent barrier properties under chemically aggressive conditions,with the k of<10^(-11) m/s for 0.6 mol/L NaCl solution,which is four orders of magnitude lower than that of the NCB(k=3×10^(-7) m/s).Various microscopic analyses indicated that the selected monomers were successfully polymerized,and intercalated into and grafted onto the montmorillonite layers of bentonite.The formed polymer network increased the swelling capability of PMB granules,decreased the pore size,and created narrow and tortuous flow pathways leading to a very low k to aggressive liquids.

文摘Epoxy resins are widely employed in wind turbine blades,drone rotors,and automotive interiors due to their excel-lent mechani-cal proper-ties and long service life.However,their insoluble and infusible cross-linked networks pose a significant re-cycling challenge,particularly with the impending retirement of the first generation of wind turbine blades.In this work,we reported a fully bio-based epoxy Vitrimer(FEP)incorporat-ing a dual-dynamic covalent network design and systematically investigated the influence of the 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene(TBD)catalyst on its curing kinetics,thermal/mechan-ical properties,dynamic exchange behavior,and degradation performance in a mild alkaline solution.Compared to conventional epoxy resins,FEP exhibited superior tensile strength and elongation at break at an optimal TBD concentration(2 wt%),achieving an excellent strength-toughness balance.The presence of TBD accelerated the exchange rates of both disulfide and ester bonds,endowing FEP with notable stress relaxation at elevated tempera-tures.Moreover,FEP demonstrated complete dissolution in 1 mol/L NaOH within 6 h at 25℃.These results underscored the exceptional strength,toughness,and recyclability of FEP,positioning it as a promising,environmentally friendly matrix resin for next-generation appli-cations in the new energy sector.

文摘Commercial-level sodium metal batteries require electrolytes with high ionic mobility and excellent thermo-mechanical and electrochemical stability.Conventional flammable liquid electrolytes,prone to dendrite growth and unstable interfacial reactions,rarely perform beyond coin-cell demonstrations.To address these shortcomings,a multifunctional composite quasi-solid polymer electrolyte(QSPE)that incorporates boron nitride(BN)as an engineered filler in a highly conductive polymer blend system has been developed.The optimized formation(15BN QSPE)delivers a room-temperature ionic conductivity of 2.15 m S cm^(-1)and a sodium-ion transference number of 0.80.Molecular dynamics simulations elucidate the coordination environment and show improved transport in the presence of BN.BN is chemically active and bifunctional:boron acts as an electron acceptor,interacting with solvents and macromolecules,while nitrogen coordinates with sodium ions,tailoring the solvation environment and transport pathways to promote efficient ion migration.The 15BN QSPE is self-extinguishing,resists oxidative thermal degradation,and enables stable cycling in symmetric sodium cells for>1400 h at0.5 m A cm^(-2).A Prussian blue full cell achieves>1500 stable cycles at 1C with -99% Coulombic efficiency in coin-cell configuration.A two-layer pouch cell with dual 15BN QSPE layers delivers 600 stable cycles at 0.125C and withstands rigorous mechanical abuse.These results position 15BN QSPE as a scalable,highperformance electrolyte offering enhanced safety and efficiency for next-generation sodium metal batteries.

文摘Liver is a vital organ in the human body and plays a central role in the metabolism and detoxification of endotoxins and exotoxins.Bilirubin is an endotoxin derived from hemoglobin(Hb).Removing excess bilirubin in the blood is crucial for the treatment of liver diseases.Hemoperfusion,which relies on adsorbents to efficiently adsorb toxins,is a widely applied procedure for the removal of blood toxins.To broaden and improve the range and performance of hemoperfusion adsorbents,we synthesized cationic hyper crosslinked polymers(HCPs)with strong affinity for bilirubin.This material exhibited outstanding adsorption performance,with a maximum adsorption capacity of 934 mg/g and a removal efficiency of 96%.Further investigation confirmed their excellent selectivity,reusability,and biocompatibility.These findings expand the potential applications of HCPs and provide insight into strategies for constructing promising hemoperfusion adsorbent materials.

文摘Organic pollutants,a pivotal factor in water pollution,have persistently menaced the aquatic ecosystem,as well as the sustainable development of human health,economy,and society.Consequently,there is an urgent need for advanced techniques to efficiently eliminate organic micropollutants from water.Here,we present the synthesis of three nonporous cavitand-crosslinked polymers capable of adsorbing diverse organic pollutants from aqueous solutions.These polymeric adsorbents exhibit outstanding adsorptive performance towards the tested micropollutants,characterized by high apparent adsorption rate constants(kobs)and maximum adsorption capacities(qmax,e).Notably,Compound NCCP-1 demonstrated a remarkable qmax,e of 459 mg/g for bisphenol A(BPA),ranking among the highest values reported for organic polymer adsorbents.In-depth investigation of the adsorption mechanism of the nonporous polymer revealed that it involves the recognition of pollutants by the deep cavities of the cavitand moieties and the interstitial spaces between them,primarily mediated by the hydrophobic effect.Furthermore,NCCP-1 was applied in situ water purification simulations and was proven to maintain its removal efficiency over more than four cycles,highlighting its potential for practical applications in water treatment.

文摘Succinonitrile(SN)-based polymer plastic crystal electrolytes(PPCEs)are regarded as promising candidates for lithium metal batteries but suffer from serious side reactions with Li metal.Herein,we propose a multi-dimensional optimization strategy to alleviate the side reactions between SN and Li metal,and develop a highly stable poly-vinylethylene carbonate-based PPCE(PPCE-VEC).Moreover,we identify the intrinsic factors of multi-dimensional polymer structures on the electrolyte stability by three typical classes of polyesters.The PPCE-VEC constructed by in situ polymerization exhibits much better stability than poly-vinylene carbonate-based PPCE(PPCE-VCA)and poly-trifluoroethyl acrylate-based PPCE(PPCE-TFA),which is verified by its fewer SN-decomposition species in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and outstanding full cell performance.The PPCE-VEC-enabled LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)full cell achieve 73.7%capacity retention after 1400 cycles,which outperforms PPCE-VCA-and PPCE-TFA-enabled full cells(61.9%and 46.9%).Spectral analysis and theoretical calculation reveal that the high solvation ability of the carbonyl site,flexible polymer chain,and homogeneous electrolyte phase of PPCE-VEC are favorable to maximizing competition coordination with Li^(+)to weaken the Li^(+)–SN binding and shape an anion-rich solvation structure.This optimized polymer-involved Li^(+)solvation enhances SN stability and facilitates the formation of B/F enriched solid-electrolyte interphase(SEI),thus significantly improving PPCE stability.

文摘The structural design and performance characteristics of the diaphragm have a decisive impact on the safety and electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).However,traditional polyolefin diaphragms still face challenges in simultaneously improving the ion transport efficiency and thermal stability.Here,we report an in situ dynamic lithium compensation strategy for manufacturing a biobased furan aramid/ceramic diaphragm(BAS)with higher thermal stability and ion transport efficiency.Specifically,exchangeable carboxyl groups(–COOH)are introduced into the bio-based furan aramid(BA)framework,which are in situ converted into–COOLi groups to form lithium ions(Li^(+))transport channels,achieving dynamic compensation of active Li^(+).The dual transmission system of ion exchange and physical pore channels synergistically enhances the ionic conductivity of BAS to 1.536 mS cm^(-1).The high polarity structure of the furan ring and the electrolyte have excellent compatibility,significantly reducing the solid–liquid interfacial energy,making BAS have extremely high electrolyte wettability(contact angle of 0°).The BA amide group forms a multi-scale bonding network with the nano-ceramics.The BAS prepared by the water-coating process exhibits excellent thermal stability(with a thermal shrinkage rate of less than 1%after 1 h at 150℃).The LiFePO_(4)|Li half-cell assembled with BAS shows a capacity retention rate of up to 91.7%after 280 cycles at 1C,with a Coulomb efficiency of 99%,demonstrating excellent cycling stability.This design and development based on bio-materials provides a new approach for high safety and high energy density battery systems.
文摘Four distinct coordination polymers(CPs)were successfully synthesized by altering solvent types and adjusting ligand concentrations,and their crystal structures were investigated.[Co(L)(FDCA)(H_(2)O)_(2)]·0.5H_(2)O(1)was synthesized as a 2D structure using Coas the metal source,methanol‑water(4∶6,V/V)as the solvent,and specific concentrations of 2,5‑furandicarboxylic acid(H_(2)FDCA)and 1,3,5‑triimidazole benzene(L).Adjusting to pure water and lowering the concentration of L yielded the 1D chain structure of[Co(HL)2(H_(2)O)_(2)](FDCA)_(2)·6H_(2)O(2).Using Cu(Ⅱ)as the metal source,methanol/water(9∶1,V/V)as the solvent,and specific concentrations of L and H2FDCA,the 1D chain structure of[Cu(L)(FDCA)(H_(2)O)]·2H_(2)O(3)was synthesized.Upon increasing the concentrations of L and H2FDCA,and switching the solvent to pure water,the 1D chain structure of[Cu(HL)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)](FDCA)_(2)·6H_(2)O(4)was obtained.This shows that changing the solvent and ligand concentrations can affect the structural changes of CPs.In addition,the solid‑state photoluminescence of CPs 1‑4 at room temperature was studied,and their morphological changes were observed via scanning electron microscopy.Density functional theory calculations revealed that the negative charge concentrates on the O and N atoms of the ligand,facilitating ligand‑metal ion coordination.CCDC:2403934,1;2403935,2;2403936,3;2403938,4.
