Catechol-Formaldehyde Resin Coated CdS Core-Shell Composite as Robust Photocatalyst for Long-Term Sustainable Artificial Photosynthesis of H_(2)O_(2)

Catechol-formaldehyde resin(CFR)is very attractive for H_(2)O_(2) production via the catalytic process.However,the H2O2 formation is accompanied by the oxidation of catechol groups to o-benzoquinone groups on CFR,which will cause irreversible damage to CFR and greatly limit its long-term stable catalytic activity.Herein,CdS/CFR composite photocatalyst with a core-shell structure was synthesized by hydrothermal method.The photogenerated electrons of Cds are used as a powerful driving force for the reversible redox conversion between catechol groups and o-benzoquinone groups on the CFR.

Phenanthroline Derivatives as Efficient Organic Photocatalysts for Visible-Light-Mediated PET-RAFT Polymerization

Phenanthroline is an excellent and stableπ-electron acceptor with a large conjugated chromophore.Phenanthroline derivatives are widely used in adsorption,photodegradation,solar cells,biology,and so on.At present,there are still limited organic molecules utilized to efficiently photocatalyze reversible-deactivation radical polymerization(RDRP).Therefore,the design of organic photocatalysts(OPCs)for RDRP remains a challenge.Herein,according to the strategy of combining the donor groups and weak acceptor groups,donor-acceptor(D-A)type OPCs based on phenanthroline were utilized for the first time in photoinduced electron transfer-reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(PET-RAFT)polymerization.1,10-Phenanthroline-5-amine(Aphen)with a donor group-amino was screened out for efficacious photo-controlled radical polymerization under blue light for various monomers with conjugated and unconjugated structures with high monomer conversion and well-defined narrow dispersity polymers(Đ<1.20).Controllable homo-polymers and block copolymers were successfully realized by chain extension reaction and block copolymerization of structurally diverse monomers.

Pseudo-almost periodic solution for impulsive hematopoiesis model with infinite delays and linear harvesting term

In this paper, a generalized impulsive model of hematopoiesis with infinite delays and linear harvesting term is investigated. The main purpose of this paper is to study the existence, uniqueness and exponential stability of the positive pseudo-almost periodic solutions, which improve and extend some known relevant results. Moreover, an example is given to illustrate the main findings.

Pseudo Asymptotically Periodic Solutions for Volterra Difference Equations of Convolution Type

In this paper, the author studies the existence and uniqueness of discrete pseudo asymptotically periodic solutions for nonlinear Volterra difference equations of convolution type, where the nonlinear perturbation is considered as Lipschitz condition or non-Lipschitz case, respectively. The results are a consequence of application of different fixed point theorems, namely, the contraction mapping principle, the Leray-Schauder alternative theorem and Matkowski’s fixed point technique.

Stability in terms of two measures for population growth models with impulsive perturbations

In this paper,we establish some criteria for the stability of trivial solution of population growth models with impulsive perturbations.The working tools are based on the theory of generalized ordinary differential equations.Here,the conditions concerning the functions are more general than the classical ones.
