The results indicate that there exist lower friction coefficients between OTS SAMs and Ti, Ni and Cu films deposited on GCr15 steel balls than those between OTS SAMs and GCr15 steel ball. The friction coefficient between OTS SAMs and Ti film is the largest, and the friction coefficient between OTS SAMs and Cu film is the least in these three films, which depends on the intrinsic characteristics of the materials. The friction coefficients between OTS SAMs and GCr15 steel ball and three nanometer films increase with the sliding velocity increasing, which can be explained by the relaxation characteristics of OTS molecules.展开更多

文摘Host–vip molecular recognition at the liquid–liquid interface endows the interface with unique properties,including stimuli-responsiveness and self-regulation,due to the dynamic and reversible nature of non-covalent interactions.Increasing research efforts have been put into the preparation of supramolecular interfacial systems such as films and microcapsules by integrating functional components(e.g.,colloidal particles,polymers)at the interface,providing tremendous opportunities in the areas of encapsulation,delivery vehicles,and biphasic reaction systems.In this review,we summarize recent progress in supramolecular interfacial systems assembled by host–vip chemistry,and provide an overview of the fabrication process,functions,and promising applications of the resultant constructs.

文摘Two reduction-cleavable ABA triblock copolymers possessing two disulfide linkages,PMMA-ssPMEO3MA-ss-PMMA and PDEA-ss-PEO-ss-PDEA were synthesized via facile substitution reactions from homopolymer precursors,where PMMA,PMEO3MA,PDEA,and PEO represent poly(methyl methacrylate),poly(tri(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate,poly(2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate),and poly(ethylene oxide),respectively.Spherical micelles were obtained through supramolecular self-assembly of these two triblock copolymers in aqueous solutions.The resultant micelles with abundant disulfide bonds could serve as soft templates and precisely accommodate gold nanoparticles in the core/shell interface as a result of the formation of Au-S bonds.
文摘Transmission beam can be modulated at the liquid-liquid interface inside an electrowetting liquid lens.The fluctuation characteristics of the interface has a decisive effect on the beam modulation.A closed cylinder in capillary constant scale is analyzed and the natural frequencies of a flat interface are obtained using capillary wave hydrodynamics.Results in modes 0 and 1 are in good agreement with previous experiments in the literature.The influences of the radius,the height ratio and the height-to-diameter ratio of a liquid lens on the interface eigenfrequencies are analyzed.

文摘We developed the high-gravity coupled liquid-liquid interface reaction technique on the basis of the rotating packed bed(RPB)reactor for the continuous and ultrafast synthesis of silver sulfide(Ag2S)quantum dots(QDs)with near-infrared(NIR)luminescence.The formation of Ag2S QDs occurs at the interface of microdroplets,and the average size of Ag2S QDs was 4.5 nm with a narrow size distribution.Ag2S QDs can disperse well in various organic solvents and exhibit NIR luminescence with a peak wavelength at 1270 nm under 980-nm laser excitation.The mechanism of the process intensification was revealed by both the computational fluid dynamics simulation and fluorescence imaging,and the mechanism is attributed to the small and uniform droplet formation in the RPB reactor.This study provides a novel approach for the continuous and ultrafast synthesis of NIR Ag2S QDs for potential scale-up.

文摘The generation and amplification of chirality in inorganic nanomaterials have garnered significant attention due to their promising applications in enantioselective catalysis,chiral sensing,and optoelectronics.Interface-driven self-assembly has emerged as a robust and versatile strategy to induce and enhance chirality in these systems,offering precise control over the spatial organization of nanoscale building blocks.This review presents a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in interface-driven selfassembly techniques,focusing on how these methods facilitate the generation and amplification of chiroptical properties in inorganic nanomaterials.We examine the strategies of interface-driven self-assembly through external torsion,aggregation amplification,and chiral molecule induction,highlighting key mechanisms that contribute to enhanced chiral responses.Self-assembly processes at liquid-liquid,gas-liquid,and liquid-solid interfaces are critically discussed,along with the influence of parameters,such as nanoparticle shape,surface ligand composition,and external stimuli on the formation of chiral nanostructures.Additionally,theoretical models describing the emergence of chirality are examined,providing insights into the role of interfacial molecular interactions in driving observed chiroptical effects.Finally,we review the applications of these chiral nanomaterials in spintronics,chiral photonics,and beyond,and propose future directions for advancing the design and development of novel chiral inorganic nanomaterials.This robust strategy holds great potential for facilitating breakthroughs in both the fundamental understanding and the practical implementation of chiral nanostructures.

文摘Interface modulation is an important pathway for highly efficient electromagnetic wave absorption.Herein,tailored interfaces between Fe_(3)O_(4)particles and the hexagonal-YFeO_(3)(h-YFeO_(3))framework were constructed via facile self-assembly.The resulting interfa-cial electron rearrangement at the heterojunction led to enhanced dielectric and magnetic loss synergy.Experimental results and density function theory(DFT)simulations demonstrate a transition in electrical properties from a half-metallic monophase to metallic Fe_(3)O_(4)/h-YFeO_(3)composites,emphasizing the advantages of the formed heterointerface.The transformation of electron behavior is also accompan-ied by a redistribution of electrons at the Fe_(3)O_(4)/h-YFeO_(3)heterojunction,leading to the accumulation of localized electrons around the Y-O-Fe band bridge,consequently enhancing the polarization.A minimum reflection loss of-34.0 dB can be achieved at 12.0 GHz and 2.0 mm thickness with an effective bandwidth of 3.3 GHz due to the abundant interfaces,enhanced polarization,and rational impedance.Thus,the synergistic effects endow the Fe_(3)O_(4)/h-YFeO_(3)composites with high performance and tunable functional properties for efficient electromagnetic absorption.

文摘Self-assembled monolayers(SAMs),owing to their amphiphilic nature,tend to aggregate,which impedes the formation of a dense and uniform SAM on the substrate.Additionally,the weak adsorption ability of SAMs on the indium tin oxide(ITO)surface and the desorption of hydroxyl(OH)from the ITO surface induced by polar solvents can lead to the formation of vacancies.Herein,a dimethylacridine-based SAM is incorporated into the perovskite precursor solution.This SAM can be extruded from the precursor solution and enriched on the bottom surface of the perovskite,filling the vacancies and in situ forming a mixed SAM with MeO-2PACz as a hole-selective layer(HSL).The in situ formed mixed SAM optimizes the energy level alignment between the HSL and the perovskite,facilitating hole extraction and alleviating the residual strain of the perovskite film.Consequently,the perovskite solar cells(PSCs),based on the mixed SAM,achieve a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 25.69%and exhibit excellent operational stability.When this approach is applied to 1.78 eV bandgap PSC devices,it yields a PCE of 20.08%.This work presents a unique strategy for fabricating both high-quality perovskite films and superior buried interfaces,which is also applicable to wide-bandgap PSCs.

文摘As a highly powerful and sensitive tool,surface enhanced Raman scattering(SERs)has attracted extensive attention in quantification analysis.However,the strong dependence of SERS signal on the detailed local nanostructure makes quantitative SERS analysis suffer from difficulties in controlling the uniformity of nanoscale hot spots and the inefficiency of placing the targeted molecules in prefabricated hot spots.
文摘Recent progress in inverted perovskite solar cells(i PSCs)highlights the critical role of interface engineering between the charge transport layer and perovskite.Self-assembled monolayers(SAM)on transparent conductive oxide electrodes serve effectively as hole transport layers,though challenges such as energy mismatches and surface inhomogeneities remain.Here,a blended self-assembled monolayer of(2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethyl)phosphonic acid(2PACz)and(4-(3,6-Dimethyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl)butyl)phosphonic acid(Me-4PACz)is developed,offering improved surface potential uniformity and interfacial energy alignment compared to individual SAMs.Interactions between the SAMs and ionic species are investigated with simulation analysis conducted,revealing the elimination of interfacial energy barriers through precise energy-level tuning.This strategy enables wide-bandgap(1.67 e V)perovskite solar cells with inverted structures with over 24%efficiency,an open-circuit voltage(V_(oc))of 1.268 V,and a certified fill factor(FF)of 86.8%,leading to a certified efficiency of 23.42%.The approach also enables high-efficiency semi-transparent devices and a mechanically stacked four-terminal perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell reaching 30.97%efficiency.

文摘Impact,friction and corrosion from the grinding balls and the grinding medium during the mineral processing result in liner breakage.Liner,made from Hadfield steel or alloyed steel,could not have served in wet grinding environment for more than ten months.Composite liner,made from HCWCI(high Cr white cast iron)and carbon steel,has been developed successfully with liquid-liquid composing process based on LFC(lost foam casting).The microstructure of composite was analyzed with optical microscope,SEM(scanning electron microscope)/EDX energy-dispersive X-ray and XRD(X-ray diffraction).According to micrograph,the combination region of two metals was staggered like dogtooth,no mixtures occurred between two liquid metals,and its interface presented excellent metallurgical bonding state.The results of mechanical property test show that,the hardness of HRC,the fracture toughness,and the bending strength are more than 61,16.5 J/cm2 and 1600 MPa,respectively.Comparison between liners made from bimetal composite and alloyed steel has also been investigated in industrial hematite ball mill.The results of eight months test in wet grinding environment prove that the service life of bimetal composite liner is three times as long as that of one made from alloyed steel.
