JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe electrochemical redox reactions of organic polymers bearing robust unpaired electrons were investigated to determine the applicability of these polymers to rechargeable batteries. Such an “organic radical battery” would be environmentally friendly and have high-power characteristics. This highlight review describes the performance of a battery using a nitroxyl radical polymer as the cathode active material. The electron-transfer mechanism and recent developments that should lead to the practical application of the organic radical battery are also described.View full abstract

JOURNAL RESTRICTED ACCESSAlkaline-earth carbonates (M = Ca, Sr, and Ba) with delicate hierarchical structures were prepared via self-assembly of nanocrystals in solution without using any surfactant at room temperature. The CO2 generated during the coprecipitation is believed to play an important role in the formation of these structures.View full abstract -

JOURNAL RESTRICTED ACCESSFluorinated TiO2 (F-TiO2) particles with good dispersion stability were synthesized at a temperature lower than 100 °C using fluorine gas. The average particle sizes and ζ potentials of F-TiO2 particles were around seven times smaller and 1.4 times larger, respectively, than those (2200 nm and −19.35 mV) of untreated TiO2 particles in water. However, the existence of TiOF2 prepared at a temperature higher than 100 °C might negatively affect the dispersion stability of TiO2. To prepare the fluorinated TiO2 without TiOF2, it is essential for optimizing the beneficial effects of surface fluorination against the dispersion stability of TiO2.View full abstract -

JOURNAL RESTRICTED ACCESSSodium-vanadate-doped ordered mesoporous carbon foams (V-MCFs) were prepared through an evaporation-induced self-assembly strategy. The resultant V-MCFs exhibit highly ordered mesostructure with specific surface areas of 714 m2 g−1 and uniform pore sizes of 4.1 nm. The surface wettability and graphitization degree of V-MCFs were increased due to the incorporation of sodium vanadate into the carbon matrix. Besides, sodium vanadate brings a pseudo-capacitive effect in V-MCFs. V-MCFs thus exhibit higher capacitance and fast charge–discharge properties compared with pure mesoporous carbon foams.View full abstract -

All the compounds corresponded to orthorhombic structure of space group Pnma and presented a cuboid morphology. The oxidation state of Fe is +3 whereas Mn is a mixed valence of Mn3+/Mn4+. The curves M vs. T for all the compositions indicated the coexistence of ferro- and antiferromagnetic contribution.View full abstract -

Supplementary materialA flow-stretching assay was employed to elucidate polycation/DNA interactions at the single-molecule level. Bacteriophage λ-DNA (48.5 kbp) was attached at one end to a PEG-modified glass surface and stretched by buffer flow. The stretched DNA had an approximate length of 12 µm. Upon injection of polylysine homopolymer, the DNA folded into a globule structure within a few seconds. Injection of a polylysine graft copolymer having hydrophilic dextran side chains also induced collapse of the stretched DNA. In comparison to these polymers, a copolymer with higher graft content did not cause DNA collapse but rather caused 25% shrinkage of the extended DNA. These results were compared with those observed with unstretched DNA.View full abstract -

JOURNAL RESTRICTED ACCESSThe Ta2O5-modified Pt electrode, which was prepared by electrodeposition of Ta on a Pt electrode from 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BMPTFSI) ionic liquid and subsequent calcination, possesses excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of formaldehyde to CO2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution compared with the bare Pt electrode. This significant improvement in catalytic performance may be attributed to the strong metal–oxide interaction as well as hydroxide spillover effect of the modified electrode. A possible reaction mechanism is proposed.View full abstract -

JOURNAL RESTRICTED ACCESSGraphene oxide, a chemically modified graphene, has been attracting wide attention because of promising adaptability to a wide variety of applications. However, the properties of graphene oxide itself are not known well. Using a conductive cantilever, we observed a current image of graphene oxide nanosheets of various thicknesses. Current–voltage characteristics were found to reflect the local conductivity normal to the nanosheets. Under high electric fields, the conduction was well described in terms of Poole–Frenkel emission mechanism. The fitting of I–V curves to the Poole–Frenkel model provides information on dielectric properties, and the relative permittivity of graphene oxide was found to be 4.8 ± 0.8.View full abstract -

Supplementary materialHighly luminescent CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals were prepared in an aqueous solution. CdSe cores capped with thiolglycolic acid (TGA) were coated with a ZnS shell through photochemical decomposition of TGA in a Zn-dispersed solution. The molar ratios of Cd2+:TGA:Se2− upon core synthesis were crucial to obtain CdSe/ZnS showing high photoluminescence (PL) efficiency. High PL efficiency (50%) with narrow spectral width (50 nm) was obtained after photochemically coating the core with a thick ZnS shell after optimizing the solution composition during ultraviolet irradiation.View full abstract -

Supplementary materialHighly stable microbubble dispersions with mean bubble radii of less than 100 µm stabilized solely with nonionic surfactant of glyceryl monostearate are reported, and the stability was sustained for more than 10 months which is attributed to the presence of lamellar liquid-crystal gels. The elastic response of the interface provides a physical barrier to collapse of dispersed microbubbles. Our study identifies a route to fabricate extremely stable dispersions of microbubbles.View full abstract

JOURNAL RESTRICTED ACCESSIn this paper, the use of molecularly imprinted membrane (MIM) for chromatographic separation is described. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) hollow-fiber membranes were grafted on an imprinted polymer layer by using 4-vinylpyridine and trimethylolpropane triacrylate as monomer and crosslinker and were applied as the chromatographic media. During separation, naproxen enantiomers were separated efficiently, and the separation factor was 2.36. Molecularly imprinted membrane chromatography (MIMC) showed an apparently opposite transport behavior compared to molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-packed chromatography.View full abstract -

Supplementary materialNew polymer materials, including thin films, soft gels, and hollow capsules, consisting of composite polymer nanofilms were prepared by the Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen click reaction between lipophilic polymers or between lipophilic and hydrophilic polymers. Because the lipophilic polymer, or hydrophilic polymer and copper catalyst were present in the oil or aqueous phase, respectively, the crosslinking reaction proceeded only at the phase interface. The combination of lipophilic and hydrophilic polymers produced “Janus” nanofilms with both hydrophilic and lipophilic surfaces.View full abstract -

Single-crystal X-ray structure of sensor 1 supports its s-trans conformation. Theoretical calculations support well the experimental result.View full abstract -

After heating at 600 °C or above, the specific surface area of Ca4Bi6O13 powder was ca. three times larger when prepared by a citric acid complex method than by solid-state reaction. Further, it was confirmed that the photocatalytic activity of Ca4Bi6O13 for the degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) was higher in a citric acid complex method than in a solid-state reaction under visible-light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm).View full abstract -

TR-ESR signals of a frozen solution sample under visible excitation were attributed to the excited triplet state T1, which was populated via intersystem crossing from the excited singlet state S1 as confirmed by TR-ESR spectral simulations.

JOURNAL RESTRICTED ACCESSAt the interface of the toluene/water system, H4TPyP4+ and CuTPPS4− formed heteroaggregates, which could recognize the chirality of D- and L-phenylalanines (Phe) and other amino acids, though neither H4TPyP4+ nor CuTPPS4− could indicate the chirality of the amino acids. The composition of H4TPyP4+:CuTPPS4− in the aggregate was estimated as 1:1 as reported in an aqueous solution. But, CD spectra of the interfacial heteroaggregates were different from that in the aqueous solution, suggesting different chiral interaction. The present results suggest a new mode of the interfacial chiral reaction exhibited by the synergistic effect of the heteroaggregation of the inversely charged porphyrins.View full abstract -
