The composition and structure of the NPRM and intermediate product (ligand) were characterized through the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), carbon-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (13CNMR), Mass spectra (MS), and element analysis data. The results showed that the composition and structure of NPRM agreed with that of anticipated product. The NPRM was composed of two important sections. Section 1 was able to provide excellent fluorescent properties for final rare earth polymer material through the effect energy transfer between ligand and rare earth ion; Section 2 would endow with the NPRM excellent polymeric active and form highly fluorescent rare earth polymer material. Fluorescent properties of the NPRM were also researched via a CARY ECLIPSE fluorescent spectrometer. The results showed that the NPRM possessed excellent luminescent properties. The corresponding emission peaks based on the 5D0→7F1(601.6 nm), 5D0→7F2(625.0 nm), 5D0→7F3(660.5 nm) and 5D0→7F4(706.3 nm) transitions for Eu3+ were observed. The strongest emission peak was at 625 nm, which belonged to 5D0→7F2 transition.展开更多

文摘Capsaicin-containing polymer materials with functional structure were successfully prepared by simple free radical poly-merization of capsaicin functional monomers(Poly(AMTHBA-co-NVP))with 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone.Compared with pure capsaicin polymer,the adsorption content of the obtained Poly(AMTHBA-co-NVP)increased by more than 3 times,which has huge potential research value.The composition and morphology of Poly(AMTHBA-co-NVP)before and after adsorption were analyzed using XRD,FT-IR,XPS,SEM and TEM.The mechanism of the adsorption process was summarized,through the study of the optimal molar ratio of reactants,acid-base environment,adsorption model fitting,characterization data results,and pollutant competition experiments.The following conclusions can be drawn:1)The pseudo-second-order kinetic model better matches the adsorption kinetics of partial Cr(VI).2)Part of the restored Cr(III)is trapped by specific groups on Poly(AMTHBA-co-NVP)and part of the Cr(III)is released back into solution.3)The adsorption mechanism includes ion exchange,coordination and chemical bonding.4)The highest adsorp-tion capacity of the polymeric material was up to 370.59 mg/g when the molar ratio of reactants was AMTHBA:NVP=2:8.This work not only provides ideas for the synthesis of capsaicin structural and functional polymers,but also provides inspiration for wastewater treatment measures.

文摘Benefiting from the low cost and high abundance of potassium resources,K-based batteries have attracted numerous research interest as a more sustainable battery chemist,particularly when considering the enormous demand for sustainable energy storage while limiting Li sources for Li-based batteries.However,the much larger size of the K-ion usually leads to the serious electrodes'volumetric expansion with rapid capacity fading,making the pursuit of electrodes for potassium storage with high capacity and high stability a significant challenge.The polymer electrode materials have been considered promising materials to address these issues due to their porous characteristics,insolubility in electrolytes,and flexible structural design at a molecular level.In this review,we outline the recent advancements in redox-active polymer electrodes,including anode and cathode,materials for K-based batteries,including crystalline porous coordination polymers,crystalline covalent organic polymers,amorphous polymers,and polymer composites.We discuss the electrode designs,electrochemical performances,and K-ion storage mechanism,with a focus on their structure-function correlations.With this knowledge,we propose the perspectives and challenges in designing advanced polymer electrode materials for K-based batteries.We expect this review will shed light on the further development of reliable polymer electrode materials.

文摘Over the past half-century,significant efforts have been dedicated to the photocatalytic H_(2)production from H_(2)O under UV–visible light irradiation.These endeavors have yielded remarkable results,with efficiency levels now approaching near 100%apparent quantum yields,notably utilizing inorganic semiconducting materials such as modified Al-doped SrTiO_(3)photocatalysts.Meanwhile,advancements in organic polymer semiconducting materials,exemplified by g-C_(3)N_(4),have led to substantial improvements in the efficiency of photocatalytic overall water splitting for H_(2)evolution reaction.These improvements,achieved through chemical engineering methods and molecular-level modifications,have resulted in an apparent quantum yield of 69%at 405 nm,accompanied by significant red-shifting of optical absorption to 1400 nm.These developments are presented in chronological order over the past half-century,underscoring the ongoing quest for innovative breakthroughs to enable largescale practical applications of solar hydrogen production.Key considerations in this pursuit include efficiency,stability,cost-effectiveness,and the independent evolution of H_(2)and O_(2).

文摘This paper investigates the effects of radiation on polymeric materials used as insulation systems in electrical equipment such as cables for nuclear and particle accelerator applications.After a detailed description of the physics of radiation-induced damage in the polymeric matrix,a comprehensive analysis of the physical-chemical and electrical properties of aged materials is carried out,ranging from the microscopical ones(e.g.,variation in crystallinity)to macroscopical ones(e.g.,mechanical and electrical properties).In particular,significant attention is given to the electrical tests aiming at investigating the impact of free charges and radicals,induced by radiation,on conductivity and permittivity variations of the studied insulation system.The results show that electrical properties may successfully be correlated with state-of-the-art condition monitoring techniques,for example,oxidation level and mechanical resistance,suggesting the possibility to use electrical quantities as a diagnostic method for the nondestructive evaluation of the electrical equipment ageing state.
文摘In order to study the influence of temperature on compressive strength of polymer grouting material,the compression specimen injection mold is self-made,and the uniaxial compressive test was carried out in the temperature control box under different temperatures.The change regularity of compressive strength of polymer grouting material under different temperatures and the law of volume changes of polymer samples were obtained.The experimental results show that：the compressive strength of polymer material increases with the increase of density;the temperature change has a certain influence on the compressive strength of polymer grouting material;the compressive strength decreases with temperature increases under the same density,but the compressive strength is not significantly affected by temperature when the density is less than 0.4 g/cm3;the volume change of the samples accords with the law of thermal expansion and contraction when temperature changes,and the increase of the volume is obvious when it is under high temperature.The achievements will provide an important basis to the application of the polymer grouting material.
