The ability to mix many different metal cations in a single-phase nanoscale oxide is critical for property adjusting and new material discovery. However, synthesizing multicomponent high-entropy oxides (HEOs) consisting of over ten metal cations remains a challenge due to dissimilarity and immiscibility among these elements. Herein, we explore the accommodation ability of AlNi-type and AlTi-type intermetallic phases and find that the AlNi-type phase is powerful to accommodate many different kinds metal elements. By chemically dealloying the Al from the multicomponent AlNi-type intermetallic phase, multicomponent spinel oxides such as 7-component (AlNiCoRuMoCrFe)O, 8-component (AlNiCoRuMoCrFeTi)O, 13-component (AlNiCoCrFeCuMoVTaNbHfZrTi)O, 16-component (AlNiCoCrFeCuMoTaNbHfZrTiRuVPdY)O et al., with nanoporous structure and poor crystallity are obtained. As a case study, we find that when applied in Li-ion battery anode, our 16-component nanoporous HEO exhibits a high capacity of ∼1141.2 mAh g after 290 cycles at 0.1 A g and excellent cycling stability. This study greatly expands the composition space of nanoscale HEOs and provides an interesting route for new materials discovery.
在单相纳米级氧化物中混合多种不同金属阳离子的能力对于调整性质和发现新材料至关重要。然而，由于这些元素之间的不相似性和不互溶性，合成由十多种金属阳离子组成的多组分高熵氧化物（HEOs）仍然是一项挑战。在此，我们探索了 AlNi- 型和 AlTi- 型金属间相的容纳能力，发现 AlNi- 型金属间相具有容纳多种金属元素的强大能力。通过化学脱合金的方法，从多组分 AlNi- 型金属间相中脱出 Al，产生了多组分尖晶石氧化物，如 7 组分（AlNiCoRuMoCrFe）O.、8 组分（AlNiCoRuMoCrFe）O.和 9 组分（AlNiCoRuMoCrFe）O.、8-组分（AlNiCoRuMoCrFeTi）O、13-组分（AlNiCoCrFeCuMoVTaNbHfZrTi）O、16-组分（AlNiCoCrFeCuMoTaNbHfZrTiRuVPdY）O 等多组分尖晶石氧化物。,获得了具有纳米多孔结构和较差结晶度的铝镍钴铬铁铜钴锰铜钽铌锆钛作为一项案例研究，我们发现当应用于锂离子电池阳极时，我们的 16 组分纳米多孔 HEO 在 0.1 A g 条件下循环 290 次后显示出 ∼1141.2 mAh g 的高容量和优异的循环稳定性。这项研究极大地拓展了纳米级 HEO 的组成空间，为新材料的发现提供了一条有趣的途径。

In recent years, conductive hydrogels were widely applied as flexible strain sensor due to its outstanding stretchability, high flexibility and conductivity. However, most conductive hydrogels would reduce the sensitivity and accuracy of hydrogel-based strain sensor for the lack of self-adhesion. Herein, a highly stretchable and excellent adhesive hydrogel based on chitosan network and ionic liquid crosslinking network was prepared. Chitosan (CS) worked as network skeleton, which could enhance the mechanical properties of hydrogel by participating in the construction of double network structure. Furthermore, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate maleate (DM-M) as cross-linker, the hydrogel was imparted with high ionic conductivity (0.29 S/m) while it also enhanced the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. The ionic bonding conferred high toughness to the hydrogel for avoiding stress concentration during tensile process. Additionally, the hydrogel could form strong adhesion to a variety of substrate surfaces through electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bond and metal complexation. Meanwhile, the hydrogel remained strong adhesion under different pH, solvent and temperature condition. Therefore, the hydrogel with excellent adhesive property, mechanical properties and high electrical conductivity have been designed as flexible strain sensor, which could detect limb movement and physiological signals with real-time feedback electrical signals. Thus, this highly stretchable, tough and adhesive hydrogel based on double network structure would promote the development of flexible electronic device.

Hypochlorous acid concentration anomaly may cause many serious diseases, so the development method to detect HClO high sensitivity and selectivity is of great significance in clinical diagnosis. Among many methods for detecting HClO, photoelectric chemical sensor has the advantages of high sensitivity and strong anti-interference ability, and has been widely used in the field of detecting HClO. Herein, a simple and specific photoelectrochemical sensor was constructed using A1/B1-type pillar[5]arene functionalized Au NPs and multi-walled carbon nanotube-polythiophene composites for the detection of hypochlorous acid. This approach was based on a sulfhydryl-borate ester modified A1/B1 type pillar[5]arene (BP5) as the main body, hypochlorous acid (HClO) as the guest, multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNTs) conducting polymers doped with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) as the transport bridge and signal amplifier, as well as spherical gold nanoparticles act as the signal reporter. Specifically, the photoelectrochemical efficiency was further enhanced by the localized surface plasmon resonance effect (LSPR) of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and the host-guest complexation between BP5 and HClO. The large specific surface area of MWNTs doped with PEDOT significantly enhanced the electrical conductivity and chemical stability of PEDOT, facilitating accelerated electron transfer and mitigating the recombination of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Benefiting from the combination of Au NPs, BP5, MWNTs and PEDOT, the sensor exhibited excellent sensitivity with detection range of 0.5–340 μM and a detection limit of 0.17 μM, and distinguished selectivity against 6 interfering substances. Due to the adsorption and removal effects of pillar[5]arenes on heavy metal ions and pollutants in water, as well as their effective catalytic performance, we anticipate that this composite material also has great potential in photoelectrochemical detection, catalysis, and adsorption.

Enhancing the quality of perovskite layer and refining the interface between the perovskite layer and the hole transport layer (HTL) represent pivotal strategies for optimizing the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). We accomplished this by employing a solution isopropanol (IPA), capable of selectively dissolving residual unreacted methylammonium and formamidine salts on the perovskite surface while preserving the integrity of lead iodide. Through control of the immersion time, we facilitated secondary crystal growth on the top of perovskite film. The resultant treated film exhibited a markedly suitable bandgap position and a diminished presence of residual trips. The IPA-treated sample led to a noteworthy photovoltaic conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.34 %, compared to 21.46 % efficiency for untreated control sample. Furthermore, under sustained illumination at AM 1.5G with 25 % relative humidity, the uncovered IPA-treated sample retained an impressive 92 % of their initial efficiency after 1000 h. Further scrutiny revealed that this solution-based treatment effectively passivated trips, enhanced perovskite film quality, established novel built-in electric fields, and mitigated charge carrier recombination. This work provides a simple perovskite film treatment approach that does not require complex molecular engineering and can be applied not only to PSCs but also to other perovskite optoelectronic devices.

The dehydrogenation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids is a crucial process in chemical industries such as fibers and plastics. Carboxylic acids, the resulting products, are not only important chemical raw materials but also fundamental pharmaceutical intermediates. Zn-based catalysts have gained attention as a promising option for this transformation owing to their economic cost and abundant reserves. However, stability issues, including structure collapse and morphological changes, have plagued the reported Zn-based catalysts during this transformation. In response to these challenges, this study focused on the design and development of Zn-based catalysts via controlled incorporation of Zn into nitrogen-doped porous carbon to modulate the numbers of defects and Lewis acid-base site pairs. Through extensive screening of various parameters, the best-performing catalyst, namely Zn@NC-800, exhibited high activity and remarkable stability, surpassing all the reported Zn-based catalysts. Moreover, this catalyst demonstrated great recyclability since it could maintain approximately 90 % yields after 9 cycles. Notably, the product formation rate of this catalyst could reach 3833 μmol·g·h, exceeding that of most reported non-noble metal heterogeneous catalysts. Consequently, this study offers a promising approach for efficiently and stably catalyzing alcohol dehydrogenation reactions using non-noble metals.

Six arylamino-dibenzothiophene () derivatives (with D-π-D or D-π pattern) were synthesized in order to investigate how the symmetry and different oxidation states, sulfide (, ), sulfoxide (, ) and sulfone (, ) affect the optical properties of these compounds, respectively. To unravel the complexity of their photophysics, extensive characterization was carried out, including UV–Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy both in different solvents at room temperature and in rigid matrix at 77 K. In addition to the presence of various singlet states, this study has brought to light the existence, in rigid conditions, of radiative triplet states responsible for phosphorescence phenomena. This interesting architecture of triplet states was investigated using the time-resolved EPR (TREPR) technique and further supported by TDDFT calculations. This approach allows us to obtain a complete photophysical view of the generation and decay of excited states and how molecular geometry influences it.

MOFs have been widely recognized in battery-supercapacitor hybrid devices. Here, the electrochemical performance of Ni MOF as a battery-type material was primarily improved by morphological engineering based on solvent and Co ions. Varying the solvent type, solvent ratio, and Ni/Co ratio, NiCo(1:0.5)MOF HO showed the largest specific capacitance of 1225.56 F g (specific capacity of 551.50 C g) at 0.5 A g, owing to its largest specific surface and good redox activity caused by the difference in the solvent solubility, solvent polarity and coordination ability of metal ions. Furthermore, a solid-state battery-supercapacitor hybrid device was assembled, serving NiCo(1:0.5)MOF HO and active carbon material obtained from bamboo as the positive and negative electrodes, separately. At a power density of 750.00 W kg, this device emerged with a large energy density of 108.96 Wh kg. After 5000 cycles, it can maintain 89.09 % of the initial value. Notably, this device could furnish energy for the LED emitting, reflecting a giant application potential.

The issue of biofouling on marine structures carries significant economic and ecological implications, necessitating the development of effective and durable antifouling coatings. Traditional organic antifouling coatings often struggle with mechanical robustness in harsh marine environments, making them fragile and highly susceptible to abrasion. To address these challenges, we propose a novel “bifunctional domain engineering” strategy for designing robust antifouling coatings that combines excellent mechanical strength of a Fe-based amorphous layer and high antifouling efficacy of an incorporated organics. The hard domains consist of Fe-based amorphous micro humps, providing a sturdy framework that enhances the coating's mechanical durability. In contrast, the soft domains comprise epoxy resin infused with CuO and 4,5-Dichloro-2--octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT), offering a dual-action antifouling function via controllable antifouling agent release. Evaluation of antifouling performance by lab tests against , , and algae and practical marine field tests (for 150 days) demonstrates significant reductions in bacterial and algal adhesion (nearly 100 % resistance) with the bifunctional domain engineered coating (referred to as HSR coating), compared to pure amorphous coating. Mechanical durability tests, including abrasion and erosion experiments, underscore the HSR coating's excellent wear resistance. Importantly, the HSR coating maintains its outstanding antifouling properties even after 1000 abrasion cycles, highlighting its potential for long-term marine applications in harsh conditions. This study lays the groundwork for design of robust antifouling coatings capable of withstanding the harsh operating environments while effectively combating biofouling.

This study lays the groundwork for design of robust antifouling coatings capable of withstanding the harsh operating environments while effectively combating biofouling.","PeriodicalId":18353,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Chemistry","volume":"215 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141880613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
The construction of epoxy resin (EP) composites with remarkable flame retardancy, transparency, and mechanical properties was a challenging subject in the industry. A novel P/N/S oligomer flame retardant (PALO) was synthesized of terephthalaldehyde (TPAL), 4-aminothiophenol (PATP), and 9, 10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene 10-oxide (DOPO), and employed in EP to fabricate a series of EP/PALO composites with different PALO amount. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that PALO exhibited remarkable thermal stability, retaining a substantial char residue of 32.2 wt% at 800 °C. Thanks to the synergy of P, N, and S, EP/PALO composites exhibited excellent flame retardancy properties. The LOI value of the EP/PALO composites saw a rise from 31.0 % to 34.2 % as the PALO content increased from 2.5 to 10 wt%, while UL-94 remained at the V-0 rating. EP/PALO also showed significant heat suppression and smoke suppression effects. The combined effects of the physical barrier from phosphate-containing char in the condensed phase, along with the flame-retardant and dilution effects of phosphorus radicals, nitrogen, and sulfur inert gases in the gas phase, contributed to the significant enhancement in flame retardancy observed in the EP/PALO composites. A notable increase in the tensile strength, flexural strength, and elongation at break of EP was triggered by the incorporation of 2.5 wt% PALO, with enhancements observed by 18.2 %, 16.6 %, and 53.1 %, respectively. Simultaneously, PALO effectively maintained the favorable transparency of EP composites under different addition amounts. Therefore, this study outlined a holistic approach for the development of oligomer flame retardants containing P/N/S and had good application potential for constructing EP composites with superior flame retardancy, transparency, and mechanical properties under different addition amounts.

Preparing multi-shelled hollow carbon spheres with highly complex and well-defined structures remains challenging, especially through facile synthesis routes. Herein, we propose a spontaneous template approach to achieve one-step efficient preparation of nitrogenous multi-shelled hollow carbon spheres with onion-like morphology and architecture (NMHCS). This synthetic route is characterized by the interaction of protonated melamine and Aerosol OT (AOT) based on Coulomb force to construct a “anionic-cationic surfactant” and spontaneously form vesicles. The packing parameter of surfactant was regulated by introducing 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene to obtain the multilamellar vesicles templates, which direct the synthesis of target multi-shelled hollow carbon spheres. Impressively, NMHCS with a unique multi-shelled hollow structure, a high surface area of 592 m g, a large pore volume of 0.56 cm g, a hierarchical pore structure, and abundant nitrogen content of 10 wt% has shown great application potential in the field of CO adsorption and lithium-ion batteries.
