Preparation and electrochemical performance of Li-rich layered cathode material,Li[Ni<Subscript>0.2</Subscript>Li<Subscript>0.2</Subscript>Mn<Subscript>0.6</Subscript>]O<Subscript>2</Subscript>, for lithium-ion batteries

The Li-rich layered cathode material, Li[Ni_0.2Li_0.2Mn_0.6]O₂, was synthesized via a “mixed oxalate” method, and its structural and electrochemical properties were compared with the same material synthesized by the sol–gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that the synthesized powders have a layered O₃–LiCoO₂-type structure with the R-3m symmetry. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicates that in the above material, Ni and Mn exist in the oxidation states of +2 and +4, respectively. The layered material exhibits an excellent electrochemical performance. Its discharge capacity increases gradually from the initial value of 228 mA hg⁻¹ to a stable capacity of over 260 mA hg⁻¹ after the 10th cycle. It delivers a larger capacity of 258 mA hg⁻¹ at the 30th cycle. The dQ/dV curves suggest that the increasing capacity results from the redox-reaction of Mn⁴⁺/Mn³⁺.

Characterization of the morphology and hydrophilicity of chitosan/caffeic acid hybrid scaffolds

The morphology and affinity of a scaffold influence the attachment of cells to its surfaces. In this study, the morphology and hydrophilicity of chitosan/caffeic acid hybrid scaffolds were investigated. Grafting caffeic acid onto chitosan hybrid scaffolds by using high levels of potassium persulfate produced scaffolds with looser morphology and higher porosity, as indicated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and porosity analysis. SEM analysis showed that the prepared scaffolds had a macroporous morphology with interconnected pores. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed that the scaffolds’ hydrophilicity decreased after caffeic acid grafting. The scaffolds were cultured with human osteosarcoma UMR-106 cells, but SEM analysis showed that cell attachment was poor. However, calcification of the scaffolds promoted the attachment of UMR-106 cells onto the scaffold. This study shows that calcified chitosan/caffeic acid hybrid scaffolds could be suitable for use in hard-tissue engineering.     

Silicon oxycarbide ceramics with reduced carbon by pyrolysis of polysiloxanes in water vapor

SiOC ceramics pyrolyzed from polysiloxanes are usually black because of the formation of excess carbon in the ceramic network. Here we show that the pyrolysis of polysiloxanes in water vapor significantly reduces carbon from SiOC and yields a white SiOC ceramic. Chemical analysis shows the amount of carbon in the white ceramic is only half of that in the black one pyrolyzed in argon. ²⁹Si nuclear magnetic resonance spectral (NMR) analysis indicates the reduction of the carbon-rich [SiC₄] and [SiC₂O₂] units with the enhanced formation of the oxygen-rich [SiO₄] and [SiCO₃] units by the water pyrolysis. Importantly, this water pyrolysis resultant carbon reduction is realized in a bulk polysiloxane, and the white SiOC ceramic is obtained in a bulk body with the retained shape of the precursor body. The water pyrolysis can be adopted as an effective mean to tailor the structure of PDCs via the simple introduction of water vapor in pyrolysis.     

Immobilization of β-glucosidase and its aroma-increasing effect on tea beverage

β-Glucosidase was effectively immobilized on alginate by the method of crosslinking–entrapment–crosslinking. After optimization of the immobilized conditions, the activity recovery of immobilized β-glucosidase achieved to 46.0%. The properties of immobilized β-glucosidase were investigated. Its optimum temperature was determined to be 45 °C, decreasing 10 °C compared with that of free enzyme, whereas the optimum pH did not change. The thermal and pH stabilities of immobilized β-glucosidase increased to some degree. The K_m value for immobilized β-glucosidase was estimated to be 1.97 × 10^?3 mol/L. The immobilized β-glucosidase was also applied to treat the tea beverage to investigate its aroma-increasing effect. The results showed that after treated with immobilized β-glucosidase, the total amount of essential oil in green tea, oolong tea and black tea increased by 20.69%, 10.30% and 6.79%, respectively. The storage stability and reusability of the immobilized β-glucosidase were improved significantly, with 73.3% activity retention after stored for 42 days and 93.6% residual activity after repeatedly used for 50 times.     

Counteranion-directed assembly of zinc(II) coordination polymers with 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene

Two novel coordination polymers [Zn₂(tib)(chda)Cl₂] (1) and [Zn(tib)I]I (2) have been prepared by reactions of 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene (tib) and 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (H₂chda) with corresponding Zn(II) salts, respectively. Complex 1 has a three-dimensional (3D) structure with rare gra (graphite) topology, while 2 is a typical two-dimensional (2D) (4·8²) network. The results revealed that the counteranion plays a subtle and important role in the assembly procedure. Photoluminescent property of the complexes was investigated.

Avoiding structure degradation during activation of ordered mesoporous carbons

Hierarchical micro–mesoporous carbons with high porosity development and ordered structure were prepared. The innovative proposal consists in developing microporosity in ordered mesoporous carbon by chemical activation in template presence in order to minimize the structural damage. Thus, we have directly carried out the chemical activation of a mesoporous carbon/silica composite with KOH. The effect on mesoporous ordered structure of both KOH/carbon ratio and activation temperature has been studied. Following chemical activation the specific surface area is increased from 341 to 1757 m²/g and the micropore volume becomes almost six times larger than initial value. Although a slight widening of the mesopore distribution and an increase in the mesopore volume has been observed during activation, TEM and XRD results reveal an excellent conservation of the ordered mesoporous structure during activation even at conditions well above the limits that a CMK-3 type carbon can resist.
