The process allows, depending on the parameters, a local halogenation with sharp edges at the interfaces to areas where no halogenation is desired. This is achieved via a nonreactive halogen-containing gaseous precursor and a UV source providing photons which dissociate the precursor photolytically. Thus, only where the UV photons affect the precursor, halogens are generated and the polymer is being halogenated.展开更多

The process allows, depending on the parameters, a local halogenation with sharp edges at the interfaces to areas where no halogenation is desired.

Thus, only where the UV photons affect the precursor, halogens are generated and the polymer is being halogenated.

文摘Heteroatom doping has emerged as a powerful strategy to optimize the catalytic and adsorption abilities of electrocatalysts by regulating the electronic structure,thereby enabling the development of efficient electrocatalysts for lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries.However,the correlation between the properties of doped atoms and adsorptio n-catalytic ability,as well as the interconnection between adsorption strength and catalytic activity,remains underexplored.Herein,we employed halogen atoms(F,Cl,and Br)with different electronegativities to dope nickel phosphide(Ni_(2)P),aiming to modulate the adsorption properties toward lithium polysulfides(LiPSs).We systematically explored the relationship between the electronegativity of the doping atoms and the adsorption strength,followed by exploring the connection between adsorption and catalytic capabilities.Combined experimental and theoretical analyses reveal that doping halogen atoms effectively strengthens d-p orbital hybridization between Ni atoms and S atoms,thereby enhancing LiPSs anchoring and conversion.Specifically,the chemical adsorption capability is enhanced as the electronegativity of the doped atoms increases.Moreover,the catalytic activity presents a volcano-like trend with the enhancement of adsorption performance,wherein the activity initially increases and subsequently diminishes.Therefore,Cl-doped Ni_(2)P with moderate chemisorption ability exhibits optimal redox kinetics in bidirectional sulfur conversion.Consequently,the Li-S batteries with Cl-Ni_(2)P-separators deliver a high-rate capacity of 790 mAh g^(-1)at 5 C and achieve a remarkable areal capacity of 7.36 mAh cm^(-2)under practical conditions(sulfur loading:7.10 mg cm^(-2);electrolyte/sulfur(E/S)ratio:5μL mg^(-1)).This work uncovers the significance of achieving a balance between adsorption and catalytic capabilities,offering insights into designing efficient electrocatalysts for lithium-sulfur batteries.

文摘Aqueous Zn-iodine batteries(ZIBs)face the formidable challenges towards practical implementation,including metal corrosion and rampant dendrite growth on the Zn anode side,and shuttle effect of polyiodide species from the cathode side.These challenges lead to poor cycle stability and severe self-discharge.From the fabrication and cost point of view,it is technologically more viable to deploy electrolyte engineering than electrode protection strategies.More importantly,a synchronous method for modulation of both cathode and anode is pivotal,which has been often neglected in prior studies.In this work,cationic poly(allylamine hydrochloride)(Pah^(+))is adopted as a low-cost dual-function electrolyte additive for ZIBs.We elaborate the synchronous effect by Pah^(+)in stabilizing Zn anode and immobilizing polyiodide anions.The fabricated Zn-iodine coin cell with Pah^(+)(ZnI_(2) loading:25 mg cm^(−2))stably cycles 1000 times at 1 C,and a single-layered 3.4 cm^(2) pouch cell(N/P ratio~1.5)with the same mass loading cycles over 300 times with insignificant capacity decay.

文摘Halogenated aromatic disinfection byproducts(DBPs)are gradually receiving attention due to their high detection frequency and usually higher toxicity than regulated DBPs.In this study,we established a solid phase extraction(SPE)-LC-MS/MS method to simultaneously trace analyze 59 halogenated aromatic DBPs.The limits of detection and limits of quantification of halogenated aromatic DBPs ranged from 0.03 to 135.23 ng/L and from 0.1 to 450.76 ng/L,respectively.The range of recoveries and relative standard deviation(RSD)in river water were between 72.41%to 119.54%and 1.86%to 16.03%,respectively.Therefore,this method can be used to accurately analyze trace levels of halogenated aromatic DBPs in drinking water.The occurrence and transformation of halogenated aromatic DBPs were explored based on this method.In the chlorinated simulated source water and chlorinated river water,20 and 45 halogenated aromatic DBPs were determined,respectively.The active halogen species(HOCl,HOBr,and HOI)first reacted with natural organic matter(NOM)to form halogenated aromatic DBPs.Then,chlorine further reacted with the halogenated aromatic DBPs to convert them into small-molecule halogenated aliphatic DBPs through oxidation,electrophilic substitution,and hydrolysis reaction,etc.In the chlorinated simulated source water,chlorinated river water,and tap water,the toxicity contribution of bromoacetic acids(Br-HAAs)accounted for themajority(>71.16%).Given that halogenated aromatic DBPs are intermediate products of halogenated aliphatic DBPs,controlling the formation of halogenated aromatic DBPs is beneficial in decreasing the formation of halogenated aliphatic DBPs,thereby diminishing the toxicity of drinking water.

文摘Efficient conversion and synergistic solar energy utilization are critical for advancing low-carbon and sustainable development.In this study,two Pt(Ⅱ)-based metal/halogen-bonded organic frameworks(MXOFBen and MXOF-Anth)were designed to enhance photoconversion efficiency and enable multifunctional integration.The ligand L-terpyr is formed by coupling tripyridine with diphenylamine dipyridine,in which the tripyridine effectively acts as a metal-ligand to lower the band gap and promote nonradiative leaps,thereby enhancing the photoconversion ability.Meanwhile,diphenylamine dipyridine serves as a[N…I^(+)…N]halogen-bonding acceptor,imparting superhydrophilicity to the materials and increasing carrier density,further improving photocatalytic performance.Experimental results demonstrate that these two MXOFs achieve impressive interfacial water evaporation efficiencies of up to87.8%and 94.0%,respectively.Additionally,the materials exhibit excellent performance in photothermal power generation and photocatalysis of H_(2)O_(2).Notably,the MXOFs also deliver strong overall performance in integrated systems combining interfacial water evaporation with photothermal power generation or photocatalysis,underscoring their exceptional photoconversion efficiency and multifunctional potential.This work introduces a novel strategy by incorporating metal-ligand and halogen bonds,offering a pathway to enhance photoconversion efficiency and develop versatile materials for advanced solar energy applications,thereby fostering the progress of high-efficiency solar energy conversion and multifunctional organic materials.
