The commercialization of Li–S batteries is impeded by several key challenges at cathode side, e.g. the insulating nature of sulfur and discharged products(Li2S 2 and Li2S), the solubility of long-chain polysulfides and volume variation of sulfur cathode upon cycling. Recently, the carbonbased derivatives from metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) has emerged talent in their utilization as cathode hosts for Li–S batteries. They are not only highly conductive and porous to enable the acceleration of Li +/e-transfer and accommodation of volumetric expansion of sulfur cathode during cycling, but also enriched by controllable chemical active sites to enable the adsorption of polysulfides and promotion of their conversion reaction kinetics. In this review, based on the types of MOFs(e.g. ZIF-8, ZIF-67, Prussian blue, Al-MOF, MOF-5, Cu-MOF, Ni-MOF), the synthetic methods, formation process and morphology, structural superiority of MOFs-derived carbon frameworks along with their electrochemical performance as cathode host in Li–S batteries are summarized and discussed.展开更多

文摘Lithium(Li)is an‘emerging'environmental pollutant,especially in soil,which is a great concern because it can endanger human health through the food chain.Compared with traditional chemical analyses,hyperspectral techniques have achieved many exciting results in soil metal monitoring due to their advantages of being fast and non-destructive.However,insufficient attention has been paid to lithium in soil,and the feasibility of its estimation using hyperspectral techniques needs to be investigated.We studied 97 soil samples from claytype lithium mines in the Ertanggou area of the East Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang to explore the effects of spectral resolution,fractional order derivatives(FOD),and characteristic band selection on the estimation accuracy of clay Li content,to obtain a fast and effective method for estimating clay Li content.Finally,we developed a new method for rapid and nondestructive estimation of soil lithium content.We have obtained some important results from the study.Spectral resolution exerts a significant impact on model performance,and its reduction usually leads to a decline in model performance.For the full band,the models constructed with low-order derivatives were superior to those with high-order derivatives,and the best model was obtained at the 0.4-order derivative(coefficient of determination(R^(2))and relative predictive deviation(RPD)of 0.777 and 2.118,respectively).In the characteristic bands,the lower order is sensitive to the visible-near-infrared range,and the higher order is sensitive to the short-wave infrared range,and the model constructed with the higher-order derivatives outperforms the lower-order derivatives.In this study,the combination of FOD and Random Forest(RF)can significantly improve the model performance,with R^(2),Relative Root Mean Squared Error(RRMSE),and RPD being 0.849,1.526,and 2.574,respectively.Therefore,this research provides a theoretical basis and technical reference for imaging hyperspectral exploration of anomalous areas of clay-type Li resources.

文摘Two viologen derivatives containing fluorine substituent(F)with an asymmetric structures,1,1'-bis(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-[4,4'-bipyridine]dihexafluorophosphate(DFPV)and 1-benzyl-1'-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-[4,4'-bipyridine]di-hexafluorophosphate(Bn-FPV),were synthesized.These viologen derivatives as active materials were used to assemble both flexible and rigid electrochromic devices(ECDs).ECDs based on DFPV exhibited reversible color change from colorless to deep green and ECDs based on Bn-FPV exhibited reversible color change from colorless to blue-green within applied voltage.It was found that the devices based on DFPV showed cycle stability,which could still maintain more than 90% after 1000 cycles.In addition,the modulation rate of the device to the solar irradiance is also calculated to characterize its application potential in smart windows.Among them,the rigid device(R-DFPV)based on the DFPV has a large solar irradiance modulation rate of 54.66%,which has the potential to be used as smart windows.

文摘Sulfur dioxide(SO_(2)) and its derivatives have been recognized as harmful environmental pollutants.However,they are often produced during the processing of traditional Chinese medicines,potentially compromising the quality of these medicinal materials and contributing to various health issues.Due to a lack of effective monitoring and imaging tools,the physiological effects of excessive SO_(2) residues in traditional Chinese medicine remain unclear.Therefore,developing a rapid and effective tool for detecting SO_(2) is crucial for understanding its metabolic pathways and effects in vivo.In this study,we developed a near infrared(NIR) and ratiometric fluorescent probe,NIR-RS,which exhibits high sensitivity,selectivity,and rapid response for SO_(2) detection.Notably,NIR-RS accurately quantifies SO_(2) contents in Pinelliae rhizoma(P.rhizoma) samples,with recovery rates from 98.46 % to 102.40 %,and relative standard deviations(RSDs)< 5.0 %.For bioimaging applications,NIR-RS has low cytotoxicity and good mitochondrial-targeting ability,making it suitable for imaging exogenous and endogenous SO_(2) in mitochondria.Additionally,NIR-RS was successfully applied to image SO_(2) content of P.rhizoma samples within cells,revealing that high SO_(2) residue elevated mitochondria adenosine triphosphate(ATP) content,these findings reveal that P.rhizoma with excessive SO_(2) can affect the organism's growth mechanisms through alterations in ATP pathways.In vivo,SO_(2) was found to predominantly accumulate in the liver following gavage with P.rhizoma solution,with accumulation levels increasing in proportion to SO_(2) residue concentration.High SO_(2) concentrations in P.rhizoma can cause pulmonary fibrosis and gastric mucosal damage.This work provides a valuable tool for regulating SO_(2) content in P.rhizoma and may help researcher better understand the metabolism of SO_(2) derivatives and explore their physiological roles in biological systems.

文摘Organocatalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization(O-ATRP)is a pivotal technique for the synthesis of polymers with well-defined structures that are devoid of metallic residues.A major challenge in this area is the reduction of catalyst loading while maintaining precise control over polymer architecture and properties.Herein,we systematically evaluate the efficacy of six pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline(pyzPhen)-based photoredox catalysts in photoinduced O-ATRP.Experimental results indicate that the introduction of various substituents markedly influences the photophysical properties and redox behavior of the catalysts,thereby resulting in differing catalytic efficiencies in the O-ATRP of methyl methacrylate(MMA).Following additional optimization,two highly efficient O-ATRP photocatalysts capable of exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)were successfully identified.Under visible light irradiation,TADF catalysts effectively mediated the controlled polymerization of MMA at a low loading level of 50 ppm,particularly when used in conjunction with the initiator DBMM.The catalytic systems demonstrate excellent temporal control,broad monomer applicability,and favorable compatibility with various initiators and solvent systems.This work offers new insights into the development of efficient,low-catalyst-loading,metal-free ATRP systems.

文摘H_2O_(2) is one of the most important chemicals in the world.Recently,the electrochemical synthesis of H_2O_(2)by two-electron oxygen reduction reaction(2e^(-)ORR)has attracted great interest.Carbon-based catalysts show great promise for electrocatalytic production of H_2O_(2),due to the ease of regulation of the carbon materials with regard to the pore structure,surface properties,and heteroatom doping.Biomass as the carbon precursor has the advantages of low cost,sustainable supply,and extensive availability.Conversion of biomass to functional carbon-based materials shows the attractive merits,such as low carbon emission in the life cycle and diversity of the obtained carbon materials due to the wide source of biomass feedstocks.In this article,a comprehensive review on the mechanisms and processes of electrochemical synthesis of H_2O_(2) by 2e^(-)ORR over carbon-based catalysts is provided.The potential biomass feedstock used for obtaining the carbon-based catalysts,and the strategies to prepare the catalysts by carbonization and heteroatom doping,as well as optimization of electrodes and design of electrolyzer,are discussed.It is recommended that future work focus on developing efficient methods to prepare the catalysts from low-cost biomass feedstock,understanding the mechanisms of 2e^(-)ORR over the catalysts,optimization of electrode materials loaded with biomass-derived catalysts,as well as development of electrolyzers for larger-scale applications.

文摘Latent heat thermal energy storage(TES)effectively reduces the mismatch between energy supply and demand of renewable energy sources by the utilization of phase change materials(PCMs).However,the low thermal conductivity and poor shape stability are the main drawbacks in realizing the large-scale application of PCMs.Promisingly,developing composite PCM(CPCM)based on porous supporting mate-rial provides a desirable solution to obtain performance-enhanced PCMs with improved effective thermal conductivity and shape stability.Among all the porous matrixes as supports for PCM,three-dimensional carbon-based porous supporting material has attracted considerable attention ascribing to its high ther-mal conductivity,desirable loading capacity of PCMs,and excellent chemical compatibility with various PCMs.Therefore,this work systemically reviews the CPCMs with three-dimensional carbon-based porous supporting materials.First,a concise rule for the fabrication of CPCMs is illustrated in detail.Next,the experimental and computational research of carbon nanotube-based support,graphene-based support,graphite-based support and amorphous carbon-based support are reviewed.Then,the applications of the shape-stabilized CPCMs including thermal management and thermal conversion are illustrated.Last but not least,the challenges and prospects of the CPCMs are discussed.To conclude,introducing carbon-based porous materials can solve the liquid leakage issue and essentially improve the thermal conductivity of PCMs.However,there is still a long way to further develop a desirable CPCM with higher latent heat capacity,higher thermal conductivity,and more excellent shape stability.
文摘Two tetrasubstituted carbazole derivatives TBICz and TOXDCz have been designed and synthesized,which possess the twist skeletons and exhibit excellent thermal and morphological stabilities.Utilizing these novel compounds as host material,high efficiency solution-processed green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes(PhOLEDs)have been achieved.The high triplet energies of TBICz and TOXDCz ensure efficient energy transfer from the host to the phosphor and triplet exciton confinement on the phosphor.Solution-processable green phospho⁃rescent devices employing Ir(ppy)3 as vip and the two tetrasubstituted carbazole derivatives as hosts exhibit high ef⁃ficiencies.The best EL performance is achieved for the TBICz-based device,with a maximum current efficiency of 27.3 cd/A,a maximum power efficiency of 15.9 lm/W,and a maximum external quantum efficiency of 7.8%,which provides more host material options for solution-processed OLEDs.

文摘Magnetic carbon-based composites are the most attractive candidates for electromagnetic(EM)absorption because they can terminate the propagation of surplus EM waves in space by interacting with both electric and magnetic branches.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)have demonstrated their great potential as sacrificing precursors of magnetic metals/carbon composites,because they provide a good platform to achieve high dispersion of magnetic nanoparticles in carbon matrix.Nevertheless,the chemical composition and microstructure of these composites are always highly dependent on their precursors and cannot promise an optimal EM state favorable for EM absorption,which more or less discount the superiority of MOFs-derived strategy.It is hence of great importance to develop some accompanied methods that can regulate EM properties of MOFs-derived magnetic carbon-based composites e ectively.This review comprehensively introduces recent advancements on EM absorption enhancement in MOFs-derived magnetic carbon-based composites and some available strategies therein.In addition,some challenges and prospects are also proposed to indicate the pending issues on performance breakthrough and mechanism exploration in the related field.

文摘Improving the volumetric energy density of supercapacitors is essential for practical applications,which highly relies on the dense storage of ions in carbon-based electrodes.The functional units of carbon-based electrode exhibit multi-scale structural characteristics including macroscopic electrode morphologies,mesoscopic microcrystals and pores,and microscopic defects and dopants in the carbon basal plane.Therefore,the ordered combination of multi-scale structures of carbon electrode is crucial for achieving dense energy storage and high volumetric performance by leveraging the functions of various scale structu re.Considering that previous reviews have focused more on the discussion of specific scale structu re of carbon electrodes,this review takes a multi-scale perspective in which recent progresses regarding the structureperformance relationship,underlying mechanism and directional design of carbon-based multi-scale structures including carbon morphology,pore structure,carbon basal plane micro-environment and electrode technology on dense energy storage and volumetric property of supercapacitors are systematically discussed.We analyzed in detail the effects of the morphology,pore,and micro-environment of carbon electrode materials on ion dense storage,summarized the specific effects of different scale structures on volumetric property and recent research progress,and proposed the mutual influence and trade-off relationship between various scale structures.In addition,the challenges and outlooks for improving the dense storage and volumetric performance of carbon-based supercapacitors are analyzed,which can provide feasible technical reference and guidance for the design and manufacture of dense carbon-based electrode materials.

文摘This study investigated environmental distribution and human exposure of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)and their derivatives in one Chinese petroleum refinery facility.It was found that,following with high concentrations of 16 EPA PAHs(∑Parent-PAHs)in smelting subarea of studied petroleum refinery facility,total derivatives of PAHs[named as XPAHs,including nitro PAHs(NPAHs),chlorinated PAHs(Cl-PAHs),and brominated PAHs(Br-PAHs)]in gas(mean=1.57×10^(4)ng/m^(3)),total suspended particulate(TSP)(mean=4.33×10^(3) ng/m^(3))and soil(mean=4.37×10^(3) ng/g)in this subarea had 1.76-6.19 times higher levels than those from other subareas of this facility,surrounding residential areas and reference areas,indicating that petroleum refining processes would lead apparent derivation of PAHs.Especially,compared with those in residential and reference areas,gas samples in the petrochemical areas had higher∑NPAH/∑PAHs(mean=2.18),but lower∑Cl-PAH/∑PAHs(mean=1.43×10^(-1))and∑Br-PAH/∑PAHs ratios(mean=7.49×10^(-2)),indicating the richer nitrification of PAHs than chlorination during petrochemical process.The occupational exposure to PAHs and XPAHs in this petroleum refinery facility were 24-343 times higher than non-occupational exposure,and the ILCR(1.04×10^(-4))for petrochemical workers was considered to be potential high risk.Furthermore,one expanded high-resolution screening through GC Orbitrap/MS was performed for soils from petrochemical area,and another 35 PAHs were found,including alkyl-PAHs,phenyl-PAHs and other species,indicat-ing that profiles and risks of PAHs analogs in petrochemical areas deserve further expanded investigation.
文摘An efficient strategy for construction of tricyclic thiazino[3,4-a]isoquinolines has been achieved via 4-dimethylamino-pyridine(DMAP)promoted[5+1]annulation of simple and readily available isoquinoline 1,4-zwitterion withα-bromoketone.This protocol showed good substrate compatibility as an array of structurally and electronically diverse thiazino[3,4-a]isoquinolines prepared efficiently in moderate to good yields.It is particularly emphasized that although this reaction exhibits moderate stereoselectivity,the two diastereomers can be separated by column chromatography,providing an important molecular diversity foundation for the screening and structural optimization of subsequent drug lead compounds,as well as a simple and efficient method for constructing complex nitrogen-containing and sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds.It has potential application value in the fields of medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis.

文摘A transition-metal-free strategy for the synthesis of carboline derivatives via sequential dual C—N bond formation in a one-pot reaction is reported.Using 2,2'-dihalogenated pyridyl biaryls and primary amines as starting materials,this method efficiently constructs a series ofα-,β-,γ-andδ-carbolines under alkaline conditions.The reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of lithium tert-butoxide(t-BuOLi)or cesium carbonate(Cs_(2)CO_(3))without requiring transition metal catalysts,demonstrating good functional group tolerance.This approach enables gram-scale synthesis and has been successfully applied to the preparation of the organic material 2,6-CbPy,achieving high conversion efficiency.
文摘Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)has garnered increased attention as a result of its persistent symptoms,which undermine patientsʼquality of life.Fudosteine has substantial advantages in the treatment of COPD due to its high efficacy and low adverse effects.In this study,Fudosteine sulfonamide derivatives Series I and amine derivatives Series II were designed and synthesized,and their biological activities were evaluated.The results showed that compound 6f had outstanding anti-inflammatory action with an IC_(50) of 1.08 mmol/L,and a higher antioxidant capacity than the lead molecule.At the same time,molecular docking investigations have revealed that compound 6f establishes hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic contacts with the MUC5AC protein.Furthermore,derivative 1f inhibited PDE4A1 enzyme activity five times more than Fudosteine.2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)free radical scavenging tests demonstrated that all examined substances had higher antioxidant activity than Fudosteine.This study established a solid foundation for further research into COPD drug therapy.
