In order to improve some of its properties for application in high performance membrane, the PEK-C has been sulfonated with concentrated sulfuric acid. Degree of sulfonation can be regulated by controlling the temmperature and time of sulfonation. The characterization of the sulfonated PEK-C in sodium salt form has been made by IR, ~1H NMR and ^(13)C NMR etc. It is shown that the sulfonation appears to take place exclusively in the ortho position to phenolic ether of phenolphthalein unit. The result is in agreement with theoretical deduction. Some properties of the sulfonated PEK-C, such as solubility, transition temperature, thermal degradation and hydrophilicity have also been discussed.展开更多

To achieve this aim, the approach we adopt is to improve the solubility of the final product in themixed solvent so that the sulfonation may take place between the bulk solutions and PPO powders even at higher sulfonationdegree. It is shown that the addition of a proper amount of dimethyl formide (DMF) to the conventional PPO-chloroformsystem can actually enhance the sulfonation effect. The solvent composition is then correlated with the sulfonation degreebased on the solubility parameters. It is interesting to find that solubility parameters between the mixed solvent and theprecipitated products keep an approximately unchanged value at about 4.9, which is just equal to that when pure chloroformis used, though the solubility parameters of both solvents increase with the content of DMF in solution. This may be the mainreason why the addition of DMF can reduce the precipitation and improve the ion exchange capacity (IEC) of SPPOpolymer.展开更多

Dependences of physical characteristics of the membranes, i. e., proton conductivity, water uptake, swelling ratio, methanol permeability and ion exchange capacity(IEC) were systematically studied. Both methanol permeability and proton conductivity of the SPAEK membrane grow rapidly as the increase in sulfonation degree since methanol molecules and protons share the same transfer channel. However, the methanol permeability plays more important role comparing to proton conductivity. As a result, the SPAEK membrane with a medium sulfonation degree(60%) was found to yield the best performance in a DMFC due to the acquirement of balanced conductivity and methanol permeability.展开更多

Methods: The mice were divided into 4 groups: ethanol control group, TNBS model group, baicalin low-dose group and baicalin high-dose group. The model of experimental colitis in mice was induced by TNBS enema. After 2 hours of TNBS enema, baicalin was given by gavage, QD × 7D. The animals were sacrificed on the 8th day to observe the extent of colonic mucosal damage, and the Peroxidase activity, Malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) contents were measured. Results: Compared with the TNBS model group, the body weight, gross injury score and histological changes were significantly improved;MPO enzyme activity and MDA content were significantly decreased in the low and high-dose baicalin groups;and the content of glutathione increased. Conclusion: Baicalin can alleviate TNBS-induced colitis in mice, and the mechanism is related to the antioxidation of baicalin.展开更多

To achieve this aim, the approach we adopt is to improve the solubility of the final product in themixed solvent so that the sulfonation may take place between the bulk solutions and PPO powders even at higher sulfonationdegree. It is shown that the addition of a proper amount of dimethyl formide (DMF) to the conventional PPO-chloroformsystem can actually enhance the sulfonation effect. The solvent composition is then correlated with the sulfonation degreebased on the solubility parameters. It is interesting to find that solubility parameters between the mixed solvent and theprecipitated products keep an approximately unchanged value at about 4.9, which is just equal to that when pure chloroformis used, though the solubility parameters of both solvents increase with the content of DMF in solution. This may be the mainreason why the addition of DMF can reduce the precipitation and improve the ion exchange capacity (IEC) of SPPOpolymer.

文摘Fabricating a desired porous structure on the surface of biomedical polyetheretherketone(PEEK)implants for enhancing biological functions is crucial and difficult due to its inherent chemical inertness.In this study,a porous surface of PEEK implants was fabricated by controllable sulfonation using gaseous sulfur trioxide(SO3)for different time(5,15,30,60 and 90 min).Micro-topological structure was generated on the surface of sulfonated PEEK implants preserving original mechanical properties.The protein absorption capacity and apatite forming ability was thus improved by the morphological and elemental change with higher degree of sulfonation.In combination of the appropriate micromorphology and bioactive sulfonate components,the cell adhesion,migration,proliferation and extracellular matrix secretion were obviously enhanced by the SPEEK-15 samples which were sulfonated for 15 min.Finding from this study revealed that controllable sulfonation by gaseous SO3 would be an extraordinarily strategy for improving osseointegration of PEEK implants by adjusting the microstructure and chemical composition while maintaining excellent mechanical properties.

文摘It is well‑known that the sulfonation degree(DS)of aromatic syntan is an important factor affecting its retanning performances.But the quantitative relation between DS and syntan property and the influencing mechanism of DS on syntan property are not clarified.In this work,five phenolic formaldehyde syntans(PFSs)with the same polym‑erization degree but varying DS were prepared to investigate the effect of DS on the properties of syntan and crust leather.It was found that the absolute value of zeta potential and the particle size of PFS decreased with increasing DS in aqueous solution.Molecular dynamic simulation results proved that the DS of PFS was a major contributor to electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding in the PFS–water system and greatly affected the aggregation and dispersion of PFS in aqueous solution.The PFS with a low DS was prone to aggregate to large particles in aqueous solution because of low intermolecular electrostatic repulsion and less hydrogen bonds and therefore can be used to increase the thickness and tightness of leather.The PFS with a high DS presented a small particle size with more anionic groups in aqueous solution,thereby sharply decreasing the positive charge of leather surface and facilitat‑ing the penetration of the post‑tanning agents into the leather.These results might be scientifically valid for rational molecular design of syntans and more productive use of syntans in leather making.

文摘A series of proton exchange membranes based on sulfonated polyarylene ether ketones(SPAEKs) was used to study the effect of sulfonation degree on proton conductivity, methanol permeation and performance of direct methanol fuel cells(DMFCs). Dependences of physical characteristics of the membranes, i. e., proton conductivity, water uptake, swelling ratio, methanol permeability and ion exchange capacity(IEC) were systematically studied. Both methanol permeability and proton conductivity of the SPAEK membrane grow rapidly as the increase in sulfonation degree since methanol molecules and protons share the same transfer channel. However, the methanol permeability plays more important role comparing to proton conductivity. As a result, the SPAEK membrane with a medium sulfonation degree(60%) was found to yield the best performance in a DMFC due to the acquirement of balanced conductivity and methanol permeability.

文摘A series of multiblock sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)s(SPAES)with various block lengths and predictable ion exchange capacity were synthesized from 4,4’-difluorodiphenyl sulfone,4,4’-dihydrodiphenyl sulfone and 4,4’-biphenol by one-pot and two-pot polymerization.;H-NMR and FTIR spectra confirmed the structure that sulfonic acid groups were introduced precisely on the poly(arylene ether sulfone)s by post-sulfonation which resulted in controllable sulfonation degree.The proton exchange membranes(PEMs)-based SPAES displayed excellent dimensional,thermal,antioxidant stability,proton conductivity and mechanical properties(maximum tensile stress>35 MPa).Thermogravimetric analysis indicated the prepared SPAES began to degrade above 310℃.The effects of polymerization processes,those were,one-pot hydrophobic segment process,one-pot hydrophilic segment process and two-pot process,on the properties of polymers were investigated.The proton conductivity and microphase separation of SPAES PEMs increased in order of those prepared by one-pot hydrophobic segment process,two-pot process and one-pot hydrophilic segment process.The highest conductivities of SPAES synthesized by the above processes under 80℃ and 100%relative humidity were 213(MS4),297(MB3)and 360 mS·cm^(-1)(MQ2),respectively.
文摘To valorize kraft lignin,hydroxymethylation and sulfonation were applied on this under-utilized,but vastly available,material.The hydroxymethylation pretreatment was conducted as means to improve the reactivity of lignin.The sulfonation of hydroxymethylated kraft lignin was investigated by sulfuric acid and sodium sulfite treatments under various conditions.The modified lignin samples were characterized for their charge density,solubility,elemental components,and molecular weights.The results showed that the hydroxymethylation facilitated the sulfonation by sodium sulfite,yielding a product(SSH-lignin)with the charge density of-1.2 meq/g and water solubility of 10 g/L under the conditions of Ns_(2)SO_(3)/lignin molar ratio of 0.49 mol/mol,95℃and 3 h.On the other hand,hydroxymethylation hindered the sulfonation of lignin by sulfuric acid,yielding a product(SAH-lignin)with the charge density of–0.46 meq/g and solubility of 0.9 g/L under the conditions of H_(2)SO_(4)/lignin molar ratio of 14.8 mol/mol,80℃and 1 h.The SSH-lignin had a high adsorption on kaolinite(17 mg/g)at a lignin concentration of 40 g/L.The sulfonated lignins were also found to be effective coagulant for the cationic dye ethyl violet.

文摘A novel integrated film of sulfonated polysulfone/graphene/potassium copper ferricyanide(KCuFC/SPSG)was used for selectively extracting rubidium ion(Rb^(+))from brine.To form KCuFC/SPSG,the precursor film of sulfonated polysulfone/graphene(SPSG)was synthesized by phase conversion process,which was alternately immersed in 0.1 mol·L^(-1)CuSO_(4)/K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]by in-situ adsorption coupled co-precipitation method.Various data such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer,Fourier transform infrared spectroscope,X-ray photoelectron spectroscope,X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscope,and energy dispersive spectroscopy all verified that abundant KCuFC were uniformly located on the film.The resulting KCuFC/SPSG was used in film separation system.As the solution was fed into the system,the Rb^(+)could be selectively adsorption by KCuFC/SPSG.After the saturation adsorption,0.5 mol·L^(-1)NH_(4)Cl/HCl was fed into the film cell,Rb^(+)could be quickly desorbed by ion-exchange between Rb^(+)and NH_(4)^(+)in the lattice of KCuFC.The purpose of separating and recovering Rb^(+)from the brine can be achieved after the repeated operation.The effects of pH,adsorption time,and interferential ions on the adsorption capacity of Rb^(+)were investigated by batch experiments.The adsorption behavior fits the pseudo-second order kinetic process,while KCuFC has a higher adsorption capacity(Langmuir maximum sorption 165.4 mg·g^(-1)).In addition,KCuFC/SPSG shows excellent selectivity for Rb^(+)even in complex brine systems.KCuFC/SPSG could maintain 93.5%extraction efficiency after five adsorption/desorption cycles.

文摘The occurrence of ultrafiltration(UF)membrane fouling frequently hampers the sustainable advancement of UF technology.Reactive self-cleaning UF membranes can effectively alleviate the problem of membrane fouling.Nevertheless,the self-cleaning process may accelerate membrane aging.Addressing these concerns,we present an innovative design concept for composite self-healing materials based on self-cleaning UF membranes.To begin,TiO_(2)nanoparticles were incorporated into the polymer molecular structure via molecular design,resulting in the synthesis of TiO_(2)/carboxyl-polyether sulfone(PES)hybrid materials.Subsequently,the nonsolvent-induced phase inversion technique was employed to prepare a novel of UF membrane.Lastly,a polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)hydrogel coating was applied to the hybrid UF membrane surface to create PVA@TiO_(2)/carboxyl-PES self-healing reactive UF membranes.By establishing a covalent bond,the TiO_(2)nanoparticles were effectively and uniformly dispersed within the UF membrane,leading to exceptional self-cleaning properties.Furthermore,the water-absorbing and swelling properties of PVA hydrogel,along with its capacity to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules,resulted in UF membranes with improved hydrophilicity and active self-healing abilities.The results demonstrated that the water contact angle of PVA@5%TiO_(2)/carboxyl-PES UF membrane was 43.1°.Following a 1-h exposure to simulated solar exposure,the water flux recovery ratio increased from 48.16%to 81.03%.Moreover,even after undergoing five cycles of 12-h simulated sunlight exposure,the UF membranes exhibited a consistent retention rate of over 97%,thus fully demonstrating their exceptional self-cleaning,antifouling,and selfhealing capabilities.We anticipate that the self-healing reactive UF membrane system will serve as a pioneering and comprehensive solution for the self-cleaning antifouling challenges encountered in UF membranes while also effectively mitigating the aging effects of reactive UF membranes.

文摘Aqueous zinc ion batteries(AZIBs)are one of the promising energy storage devices.However,uncontrolled dendrite and side reactions have seriously hindered its further application.In this study,the metal-organic framework(MOF)functionalized glass fiber separator(GF-PFC-31)was used to regulate interfacial behavior of zinc metal anode,enabling the development of high-performance AZIBs.In PFC-31,there areπ-πinteractions between two adjacent benzene rings with a spacing of 3.199 A.This spacing can block the passage of[Zn(H_(2)O)_6]^(2+)(8.6 A in diameter)through the GF-PFC-31 separator to a certain extent,which promotes the deposition process of Zn ions.In addition,the sulfonic acid group(-S03H)contained in GF-PFC-31 can form a hydrogen bonding network with H_(2)O,which can provide a desolvation effect and reduce the side reaction.Consequently,GF-PFC-31 separator achieves uniform deposition of Zn ions.The Zn‖GF-PFC-31‖Zn symmetric cell exhibits stable cycle life(3000 h at 1.2 mA cm^(-2),2000 h at 0.3 mA cm^(-2),and 2000 h at 5.0 mA cm^(-2)),and Zn‖GF-PFC-31‖MnO_(2) full cell with GF-PFC-31 separator can cycle for 1000 cycles at 1.2 A g^(-1)with capacity retention rate of 82.5%.This work provides a promising method to achieve high-performance AZIBs.

文摘Wheat germplasm is a fundamental resource for basic research,applied studies,and wheat breeding,which can be enriched normally by several paths,such as collecting natural lines,accumulating breeding lines,and introducing mutagenesis materials.Ethyl methane sulfonate(EMS)is an alkylating agent that can effectively introduce genetic variations in a wide variety of plant species.In this study,we created a million-scale EMS population(MEP)that started with the Chinese wheat cultivars‘Luyan 128’,‘Jimai 38’,‘Jimai 44’,and‘Shannong 30’.In the M1 generation,the MEP had numerous phenotypical variations,such as>3,000 chlorophyll-deficient mutants,2,519 compact spikes,and 1,692 male sterile spikes.There were also rare mutations,including 30 independent tillers each with double heads.Some M1 variations of chlorophyll-deficiency and compact spikes were inheritable,appearing in the M2 or M3 generations.To advance the entire MEP to higher generations,we adopted a single-seed descendent(SSD)approach.All other seed composites of M2 were used to screen other agronomically important traits,such as the tolerance to herbicide quizalofop-P-methyl.The MEP is available for collaborative projects,and provides a valuable toolbox for wheat genetics and breeding for sustainable agriculture.

文摘Modular free-assembly construction of mono-,di-,and tri-fluoromethyl sulfones was comprehensively achieved by a combination of halides,a sulfur dioxide surrogate,and halofluorocarbons.The industrial raw material thiourea dioxide served as the sulfur dioxide source,combined with readily available fluorocarbon sources such as 2-bromo-2-fluoroacetate and chlorodifluoromethane(ClCF_(2)H,Freon)employed as fluoromethyl reagents.Notably,four methyl sulfone-containing pharmaceuticals were modified into three types of fluoromethyl sulfones,displaying their great potential for drug discovery via the current strategy.Mechanistic studies further demonstrated that C-F…H-N interactions between thiourea dioxide and halofluorocarbons play a key role in stabilizing monofluoromethyl electrophiles and difluorocarbene species.

文摘Thick electrodes can substantially enhance the overall energy density of batteries.However,insufficient wettability of aqueous electrolytes toward electrodes with conventional hydrophobic binders severely limits utilization of active materials with increasing the thickness of electrodes for aqueous batteries,resulting in battery performance deterioration with a reduced capacity.Here,we demonstrate that controlling the hydrophilicity of the thicker electrodes is critical to enhancing the overall energy density of batteries.Hydrophilic binders are synthesized via a simple sulfonation process of conventional polyvinylidene fluoride binders,considering physicochemical properties such as mechanical properties and adhesion.The introduction of abundant sulfonate groups of binders(i)allows fast and sufficient electrolyte wetting,and(ii)improves ionic conduction in thick electrodes,enabling a significant increase in reversible capacities under various current densities.Further,the sulfonated binder effectively inhibits the dissolution of cathode materials in reactive aqueous electrolytes.Overall,our findings significantly enhance the energy density and contribute to the development of practical zinc-ion batteries.
文摘Objective: The aim is to observe the protective effect of baicalin on trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced experimental colitis in mice and explore its mechanism. Methods: The mice were divided into 4 groups: ethanol control group, TNBS model group, baicalin low-dose group and baicalin high-dose group. The model of experimental colitis in mice was induced by TNBS enema. After 2 hours of TNBS enema, baicalin was given by gavage, QD × 7D. The animals were sacrificed on the 8th day to observe the extent of colonic mucosal damage, and the Peroxidase activity, Malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) contents were measured. Results: Compared with the TNBS model group, the body weight, gross injury score and histological changes were significantly improved;MPO enzyme activity and MDA content were significantly decreased in the low and high-dose baicalin groups;and the content of glutathione increased. Conclusion: Baicalin can alleviate TNBS-induced colitis in mice, and the mechanism is related to the antioxidation of baicalin.

文摘Critical issues of Zn anodes including undesirable dendrites formation and parasitic reactions severely limit the reversibility and cyclability of Zn anodes.To address these issues,a functional Janus separator with the structure of a mechanically strong sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)(SPAES)dense layer composited on a porous glass fiber(GF)substrate is designed.The SPAES dense layer that faces the Zn anode containing abundant sulfonic acid groups effectively promotes the desolvation process of hydrated Zn ions,guides uniform Zn ion transfer,and blocks anions and water,contributing to dendrite-free and highly reversible Zn plating/stripping cycles,while the porous GF substrate retains high electrolyte uptake.As a result,the Zn symmetric cell with the Janus separator demonstrates an ultralong cycling lifespan of over 2000 h at the areal capacity of 1 m A h cm^(-2),which is 23-fold superior to that with a pristine glass fiber separator(<90 h).More impressively,the as-prepared Janus separator enables outstanding rate performance and excellent cycling stability of full Zn ion batteries with diverse cathode materials.For instance,when paired with the V_2O_(5)cathode,the full battery with a Janus separator attains an ultrahigh initial specific capacity of 416.3 m A h g^(-1)and capacity retention of 60%over 450 cycles at 1 A g^(-1),exceeding that with a glass fiber separator.Hence,this work provides a facile yet effective approach to mitigating the dendrites formation and ameliorating the parasitic reactions of Zn metal anodes for high-performance Zn ion batteries.
