A new homologous series of thermotropic liquid crystalline copoly(arylidene-ether)s based on 4-teriary butyl cyclohexanone moiety were synthesized by solution polycondensation of 4,4’-diformyl-α,ω-diphenoxyalkanes,...A new homologous series of thermotropic liquid crystalline copoly(arylidene-ether)s based on 4-teriary butyl cyclohexanone moiety were synthesized by solution polycondensation of 4,4’-diformyl-α,ω-diphenoxyalkanes, Ia-d or 4,4’- diformyl-2,2’-dimethoxy-α,ω-diphenoxyalkanes IIa-d with the 4-teriary butyl-cyclohexanone III and cyclopentanone. A model compound IV was synthesized from the monomer III with benzaldehyde and characterized by elemental and spectral analyses. The inherent viscosities of the resulting polymers were in the range 0.22 - 0.92 dI/g. All the copoly(arylidene-ether)s were insoluble in common organic solvents but dissolved completely in concentrated H2SO4 and formic acid. The mesomorphic properties of these polymers were studied as a function of the diphenoxyalkane space length. Their thermotropic liquid crystalline properties were examined by DSC and optical polarizing microscopy and demonstrated that the resulting polymers form nematic mesophases over wide temperature ranges. The thermogravimetric analyses of those polymers were evaluated by TGA and DSC measurements and correlated to their structural units. X-Ray analysis showed that copolymers having some degree of crystallinity in the region 2q = 5° -60°. In addition, the morphological properties of selected examples were tested by Scanning electron microscopy.展开更多

An innovative approach to H2 S capture has been developed using several metal-based ionic liquids([Bmim]Cl·CuCl_2, [Bmim]Cl·FeCl_3, [Bmim]Cl·ZnCl_2, [Bmim]Br·CuCl_2, and [Bmim]Br·FeCl_3) immob...An innovative approach to H2 S capture has been developed using several metal-based ionic liquids([Bmim]Cl·CuCl_2, [Bmim]Cl·FeCl_3, [Bmim]Cl·ZnCl_2, [Bmim]Br·CuCl_2, and [Bmim]Br·FeCl_3) immobilized on the sol-gel derived silica, which is superior to purely viscous ionic liquid with a crucial limit of high temperature, low mass transfer rate,and mass loss. The adsorbents were characterized by the Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, transmission electron microscope, N_2 adsorption/desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermal analysis techniques. The effects of the metal and halogen in IL, the loading amount of IL, and the adsorption temperature were studied by dynamic adsorption experiments at a gas flow rate of 100 mL/min. The H2 S adsorption results have showed that the optimal adsorbent and adsorption temperature are 5% [Bmim]Cl·CuCl_2/silica gel and 20—50 ℃, respectively. H_2 S can be captured and oxidized to elemental sulfur, and [Bmim]Cl·CuCl_2/silica gel can be readily regenerated by air. The excellent efficiency of H2 S removal may be attributed to the formation of nano-scaled and high-concentration [Bmim]Cl·CuCl_2 confined in silica gel, indicating that the immobilization of [Bmim]Cl·CuCl_2 on the sol-gel derived silica can be used for H2 S removal promisingly.展开更多

The permeation properties of the blend membranes for CO2, N2,CH4 and H2 were studied, and the physical properties were characterized by differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Results showed that [Bmim][Tf2N] was dispersed as amorphous phase in the blend membranes, which caused the decrease of Tg(PE) and crystallinity(PA). With the addition of [Bmim][Tf2N], the CO2 permeability increased and reached up to approximately 286 Barrer at 40 wt%[Bmim][Tf2N], which was nearly double that of pristine Pebax1657 membrane. The increase of CO2 permeability may be attributed to high intrinsic permeability of [Bmim][Tf2N], the increase of fractional free of volume(FFV) and plasticization effect. However, the CO2 permeability reduced firstly when the [Bmim][Tf2N]content was below 10 wt%, which may be due to that the small ions of [Bmim][Tf2N] in the gap of polymer chain inhibited the flexibility of polymer chain; the interaction between Pebax1657 and [Bmim][Tf2N]decreased the content of EO units available for CO2 transport and led to a more compact structure. For Pebax1657/[Bmim][Tf2N] blend membranes, the permeabilities of N2, H2 and CH4decreased with the increase of feed pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure effect, while CO2 permeability increased with the increase of feed pressure for that the CO2-induced plasticization effect was stronger than hydrostatic pressure effect.展开更多

文摘Ionic liquid(IL),1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate([BMIM]PF6)as a new and environmentally friendly diluent was introduced to prepare poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)membranes via thermally induced phase separation(TIPS).Phase diagram of PVDF/[BMIM]PF6 was measured.The effects of polymer concentration and quenching temperature on the morphologies,properties,and performances of the PVDF membranes were investigated.When the polymer concentration was 15 wt%,the pure water flux of the fabricated membrane was up to nearly 2000 L·m-2·h-1,along with adequate mechanical strength.With the increasing of PVDF concentration and quenching temperature,mean pore size and water permeability of the membrane decreased.SEM results showed that PVDF membranes manufactured by ionic liquid(BMIm PF6)presented spherulite structure.And the PVDF membranes were represented asβphase by XRD and FTIR characterization.It provides a new way to prepare PVDF membranes with piezoelectric properties.

文摘Acidic poly(ionic liquid)s(PILs)with swelling ability were synthesized by free radical copolymerization of N-vinylimidazolium ionic liquids,divinylbenzene(DVB)and sodium acrylate(NaAA),and further acidification by sulfuric acid.The swelling ability of acidic PILs was greatly affected by cross-linker content and chain length of 3-alkyl-substituents on imidazolium.Cross-linked network structures could be observed from the cryogenic scanning electron microscopy(cryo-SEM)images of the swollen acidic PILs in formic acid.Acidic PILs with network structures in swollen state exhibited excellent activities in the esterification of cyclohexene and formic acid,and the catalytic activities were in positive correlation with their swelling abilities.Acidic PIL with 3-octyl-substituent and 2.5 mol%DVB(PIL-C8-2.5DVB-HSO4)had the highest swelling ability in formic acid and exhibited comparable catalytic activities with homogeneous catalysts such as sulfuric acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid.

文摘A series of polymeric ionic liquids(PILs)used as effective heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production via esterification of free fatty acids(FFAs)were effectively prepared by the reaction of poly(ethylene imine)(PEI)polymers with different molecular weight and 1,3-propanesultone,followed by the further acidification with differential effective acids,i.e.H2SO4,CF3SO3H,CH3SO3H or p-toluenesulfonic acid(p-TSA).Ultrahigh acidity and catalytic performance were achieved and could be fine-tuned by simply adjusting the molecular weight of PEI and by further treatment of acids.Specifically,under the optimal conditions(i.e.reaction temperature was 70℃,reaction time was 2.0 h,catalyst dosage was 3.15%(mass),and alcohol/acid molar ratio was 14:1)acquired through the Box-BEHNKEN response surface methodology,a high oleic acid conversion of 98.42%could be obtained over the optimal PIL,PEI(70000)-PS-p-TSA.Additionally,our PILs also showed high generality for esterification of other FFAs,with general high conversion over 90%noted in each case even under much milder reaction conditions compared to other conventional catalysts.

文摘Heteroatom-doped carbon materials have demonstrated great potential in the electrochemical reduction reaction of CO_(2)(CO_(2)RR)due to their versatile structure and function.However,rational structure control remains one challenge.In this work,we reported a unique carbon precursor of soft template-containing porous poly(ionic liquid)(PIL)that was directly synthesized via free-radical self-polymerization of ionic liquid monomer in a soft template route.Variation of the carbonization temperature in a direct pyrolysis process without any additive yielded a series of carbon materials with facile adjustable textural properties and N species.Significantly,the integration of soft-template in the PIL precursor led to the formation of hierarchical porous carbon material with a higher surface area and larger pore size than that from the template-free precursor.In CO_(2)RR to CO,the champion catalyst gave a Faraday efficiency of 83.0%and a current density of 1.79 mA·cm^(-2)at-0.9 V vs.reversible hydrogen electrode(vs.RHE).The abundant graphite N species and hierarchical pore structure,especially the unique hierarchical small-/ultramicropores were revealed to enable better CO_(2)RR performance.

文摘Diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(DOSY),dubbed chromato-graphic NMR spectroscopy,can be used to simultaneously distinguish and identify the structures of components in a mixture according to their different diffusion coefficients.In order to improve the resolution of DOSY on the diffusion dimension,a lot of matrices have been developed to expand the application of this technique in mixture analysis.However,there is no matrix to detect the mixture of ionic liquids(ILs).Herein,we introduced a new matrix,poly(sodium-p-styrenesulfonate)(PSSNa),which can be used to fully separate the signals of a mixture of different ILs.The mixture of three imidazolium ILs of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide,1-allyl-3-vinylimidazolium bromide and 1-arboxymethy-3-methylimidazolium chloride could be fully distinguished by virtue of their different interactions with PSSNa.We also investigated the influences of PSSNa amount,IL con-centration and solution pH value on the signal resolution of mixtures.This work provides a scientific reference for the analysis of the other IL analytes.

文摘Amine-functionalized imidazolium-based poly(ionic liquid)brushes on mesoporous silica were synthesized via"grafting through"technique and were applied as model sorbents to understand physisorption and chemisorption of carbon dioxide molecules.The experimental results reveal that the total adsorption capacity of model sorbents derived from temperature programmed desorption(TPD)approach reaches 1.72 mmol·g^-1 that is much higher than the sum of adsorption capacity of bare mesoporous silica and free polymers at 25℃under carbon dioxide partial pressure of 0.2 bar.The proposed physical adsorption and chemical adsorption of carbon dioxide molecules in TPD response curves were validated by volumetric desorption measurement.It is also observed that physical adsorption is completely reversible and chemical adsorption is irreversible.The results demonstrate that the temperature programmed desorption technique is an effective approach to differentiate chemisorption and physisorption of gaseous species on solid sorbents,which is beneficial for understanding of adsorption mechanism and materials design.

文摘A new polymeric ionic liquid gel was prepared with 1-[(2-methacryloyloxy)ethyl]-3-methylimidazolium bromide(MEMImBr) via radiation-induced polymerization and cross-linking at room temperature.The resultant PMEMImBr gel exhibits high strength and flexibility as well as special swelling behavior in oil-in-water(O/W)emulsions.The swelling behavior of PMEMImBr gel in emulsions is similar to that in water except that the swelling rate in emulsions is slightly smaller than that in water.The organic solvents with higher polarity in the emulsions contribute to the swelling of PMEMImBr gels,and the O/W proportion of emulsion in the swollen gel equals approximately that of original emulsion when the concentration of organic solvent is lower than 0.2 g/g.

文摘The CO_(2)solubilities(including CO_(2)Henry’s constant)in physical-and chemical-based ILs/DESs and the COSMO-RS models describing these properties were comprehensively collected and summarized.The summarized results indicate that chemical-based ILs/DESs are superior to physical-based ILs/DESs for CO_(2)capture,especially those ILs have functionalized cation and anion,and superbase DESs;some of the superbase DESs have higher CO_(2)solubilities than those of ILs;the best physical-and chemical-based ILs,as well as physical-and chemicalbased DESs are[BMIM][BF4](4.20 mol kg^(-1)),[DETAH][Im](11.91 mol kg^(-1)),[L-Arg]-Gly 1:6(4.92 mol kg^(-1))and TBD-EG 1:4(12.90 mol kg^(-1)),respectively.Besides the original COSMO-RS mainly providing qualitative predictions,six corrected COSMO-RS models have been proposed to improve the prediction performance based on the experimental data,but only one model is with universal parameters.The newly determined experimental results were further used to verify the perditions of original and corrected COSMO-RS models.The comparison indicates that the original COSMO-RS qualitatively predicts CO_(2)solubility for some but not all ILs/DESs,while the quantitative prediction is incapable at all.The original COSMO-RS is capable to predict CO_(2)Henry’s constant qualitatively for both physical-based ILs and DESs,and quantitative prediction is only available for DESs.For the corrected COSMO-RS models,only the model with universal parameters provides quantitative predictions for CO_(2)solubility in physical-based DESs,while other corrected models always show large deviations(>83%)compared with the experimental CO_(2)Henry’s constants.
文摘A new homologous series of thermotropic liquid crystalline copoly(arylidene-ether)s based on 4-teriary butyl cyclohexanone moiety were synthesized by solution polycondensation of 4,4’-diformyl-α,ω-diphenoxyalkanes, Ia-d or 4,4’- diformyl-2,2’-dimethoxy-α,ω-diphenoxyalkanes IIa-d with the 4-teriary butyl-cyclohexanone III and cyclopentanone. A model compound IV was synthesized from the monomer III with benzaldehyde and characterized by elemental and spectral analyses. The inherent viscosities of the resulting polymers were in the range 0.22 - 0.92 dI/g. All the copoly(arylidene-ether)s were insoluble in common organic solvents but dissolved completely in concentrated H2SO4 and formic acid. The mesomorphic properties of these polymers were studied as a function of the diphenoxyalkane space length. Their thermotropic liquid crystalline properties were examined by DSC and optical polarizing microscopy and demonstrated that the resulting polymers form nematic mesophases over wide temperature ranges. The thermogravimetric analyses of those polymers were evaluated by TGA and DSC measurements and correlated to their structural units. X-Ray analysis showed that copolymers having some degree of crystallinity in the region 2q = 5° -60°. In addition, the morphological properties of selected examples were tested by Scanning electron microscopy.

文摘The synthesis and characterization of a new series of liquid crystalline polymers, poly(dicycloalkylvinylterephthalate)s, are reported. The basic building blocks of these polymers are not mesogenic by themselves. However,very stable mesophases can be generated by self-assembly of the polymer molecules. This approach suggests a novel designstrategy of liquid crystalline polymers with flexible and apolar building blocks.

文摘An innovative approach to H2 S capture has been developed using several metal-based ionic liquids([Bmim]Cl·CuCl_2, [Bmim]Cl·FeCl_3, [Bmim]Cl·ZnCl_2, [Bmim]Br·CuCl_2, and [Bmim]Br·FeCl_3) immobilized on the sol-gel derived silica, which is superior to purely viscous ionic liquid with a crucial limit of high temperature, low mass transfer rate,and mass loss. The adsorbents were characterized by the Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, transmission electron microscope, N_2 adsorption/desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermal analysis techniques. The effects of the metal and halogen in IL, the loading amount of IL, and the adsorption temperature were studied by dynamic adsorption experiments at a gas flow rate of 100 mL/min. The H2 S adsorption results have showed that the optimal adsorbent and adsorption temperature are 5% [Bmim]Cl·CuCl_2/silica gel and 20—50 ℃, respectively. H_2 S can be captured and oxidized to elemental sulfur, and [Bmim]Cl·CuCl_2/silica gel can be readily regenerated by air. The excellent efficiency of H2 S removal may be attributed to the formation of nano-scaled and high-concentration [Bmim]Cl·CuCl_2 confined in silica gel, indicating that the immobilization of [Bmim]Cl·CuCl_2 on the sol-gel derived silica can be used for H2 S removal promisingly.

文摘Poly(amide-6-b-ethylene oxide)(Pebax1657)/1-butyl-3-methylimidazo-lium bis[trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]-imide([Bmim][Tf2N]) blend membranes with different [Bmim][Tf2N] contents were prepared via solution casting and solvent evaporation method. The permeation properties of the blend membranes for CO2, N2,CH4 and H2 were studied, and the physical properties were characterized by differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Results showed that [Bmim][Tf2N] was dispersed as amorphous phase in the blend membranes, which caused the decrease of Tg(PE) and crystallinity(PA). With the addition of [Bmim][Tf2N], the CO2 permeability increased and reached up to approximately 286 Barrer at 40 wt%[Bmim][Tf2N], which was nearly double that of pristine Pebax1657 membrane. The increase of CO2 permeability may be attributed to high intrinsic permeability of [Bmim][Tf2N], the increase of fractional free of volume(FFV) and plasticization effect. However, the CO2 permeability reduced firstly when the [Bmim][Tf2N]content was below 10 wt%, which may be due to that the small ions of [Bmim][Tf2N] in the gap of polymer chain inhibited the flexibility of polymer chain; the interaction between Pebax1657 and [Bmim][Tf2N]decreased the content of EO units available for CO2 transport and led to a more compact structure. For Pebax1657/[Bmim][Tf2N] blend membranes, the permeabilities of N2, H2 and CH4decreased with the increase of feed pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure effect, while CO2 permeability increased with the increase of feed pressure for that the CO2-induced plasticization effect was stronger than hydrostatic pressure effect.

文摘Polyelectrolyte porous membranes(PPMs)belong to the most interesting classes of materials,because the synergy of tunable pore sizes and charge nature of polyelectrolyte endow them with wide-ranging practical applications.However,owing to the water solu-bility and ionic nature of the polyelectrolytes,traditional polyelectrolytes are difficult to use in scalable preparation of high-quality PPMs through the well-developed industrial methods.Poly(ionic liquid)s(PIL)are a subclass of functional polyelectrolytes bearing ionic liquid groups in their repeating unites,inheriting the advantages of ionic liquids(ILs)and macromolecular architecture features.In recent years,along with rapid development of PIL materials chemistry,considerable and significant developments involving the novel preparation methods,and structure-property-function relationships of PPMs have been made.In this review,we highlight the latest discovery and proceedings of PPMs,particularly the advancements in how to tailor structures and properties of PPMs by ra-tional structure design of PILs.The formation mechanisms of various PPMs were also discussed in detail from the viewpoint of PILs molecular structures.A future perspective of the challenges and promising potential of PPMs is cast on the basis of these achieve-ments.We expect that these analyses and deductions will be useful for the design of useful PPMs and serve as a source of inspira-tion for the design of future multifunctional PPMs.

文摘Electrolytes based on poly(ionic liquid)s(PILs)have attracted great attention in the fields of next-generation solid lithium-ion batteries.However,the low ionic conductivity prevents their practical applications.Herein,we report novel solid electrolytes based on block copolymers composed of PILs and comb-like poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG),which were synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization of 3-(2-(bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl)ethyl)-1-butyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide and poly(ethylene glycol monomethyl ether)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylate.Comb-like PEG acts as plasticizers in block copolymers dominated by PILs to promote the mobility of PILs segments.Effects of the copolymer composition and length of the comb-like PEG chain on ionic conductivity were investigated.The optimized electrolyte delivers the highest ionic conductivity of 1.5×10^(–5)S·cm^(–1)at 30℃,and robust electrochemical stability up to 4.6 V.A solid-state Li/LiFePO4 cell using the optimized electrolyte demonstrates good cycle performance at 0.2 C with high capacity retention of 92%after 70 cycles at 50℃.

文摘The inevitable ion migration that occurs within ionic polycrystalline perovskite film results in inferior longterm stability of perovskite solar cells(PVSCs)that cannot meet the commercial requirements.Here,a novel poly(ionic liquid)named poly-1-vinyl-3-propyltrimethoxysilane imidazolium chloride(PImIL-SiO)is first introduced into perovskite to strengthen grain boundaries(GBs)and construct dual-functional barriers against internal ion migration and external moisture erosion for fabricating highly efficient and stable PVSCs.PImIL-SiO-containing imidazoliumcations and pendant siloxane groups contribute to passivation of bulk defects and anchoring of GBs,which effectively hinders ion migration channels,thus reducing perovskite film phase separation and device hysteresis.Furthermore,the intrinsically hydrophobic PImIL-SiO automatically forms a secondary protective barrier to endow the perovskite film with ultrahigh moisture corrosion resistance through the hydrolyzation reaction of siloxane with the permeated moisture.Consequently,the PImIL-SiO-modified PVSCs achieve a champion power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 22.46%,accompaniedby excellent thermal andhumidity stabilities where the non-encapsulated devices retain 87%of the initial PCE after aging at 85℃for 250 h and>85%of the initial PCE over 1100 h in air with a relative humidity of 50–70%.
