该策略利用根据原始四位配体和MOF表面配位环境设计的双齿连接子作为覆盖剂。这些覆盖剂的形状和金属在MOF上的表面构象限制了它们在特定的MOF刻面上协调,从而精确控制了MOF的形状。从纳米板(PCN-NP)到纳米棒(PCN-NR)的不同形状的PCN-608已经通过添加不同的双齿连接子来靶向。通过控制从纳米板到纳米棒的NU-MOFs的形状,证明了该策略的普遍性。该策略为合成具有受控形状的MOF纳米晶体提供了新的指导原则。

Dopant-Induced Giant Photoluminescence of Monolayer MoS2 by Chemical Vapor Transport


DOI

https://doi.org/10.1002/admi.202200431


Abstract (上下滑动查看)

Substitutional doping of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) has been recognized as a promising strategy to tune their optoelectronic properties for a wide array of applications. However, controllable doping of TMDCs remains a challenging issue due to the natural doping of these materials. Here, the controllable growth of Ti-doped MoS2 monolayers is demonstrated via the chemical vapor transport method, and the atomic embedded structure is confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscope with a probe corrector measurements. Furthermore, the grown Ti-doped MoS2 monolayer exhibits giant photoluminescence (PL), 85-fold stronger than a pristine MoS2 monolayer prepared by the same method. The giant PL enhancement is attributed to dopant-induced O-Ti-S units and improved interaction between the monolayer and the mica substrate, increasing the photoluminescence quantum yield and facilitating radiation recombination. The successful growth of Ti-doped MoS2 monolayer and the improvement of its optical and electrical properties by Ti doping may provide a promising method to engineer the optoelectronic properties of 2D TMDCs materials.

Flexible and highly-sensitive pressure sensor based on controllably oxidized MXene



DOI

https://doi.org/10.1002/inf2.12328


Abstract (上下滑动查看)

Conductive Ti3C2Tx MXenes have been widely investigated for the construction of flexible and highly-sensitive pressure sensors. Although the inevitable oxidation of solution-processed MXene has been recognized, the effect of the irreversible oxidation of MXene on its electrical conductivity and sensing properties is yet to be understood. Herein, we construct a highly-sensitive and degradable piezoresistive pressure sensor by coating Ti3C2Tx MXene flakes with different degrees of in situ oxidation onto paper substrates using the dipping-drying method. In situ oxidation can tune the intrinsic resistance and expand the interlayer distance of MXene nanosheets. The partially oxidized MXene-based piezoresistive pressure sensor exhibits a high sensitivity of 28.43 kPa−1, which is greater than those of pristine MXene, over-oxidized MXene, and state-of-the-art paper-based pressure sensors. Additionally, these sensors exhibit a short response time of 98.3 ms, good durability over 5000 measurement cycles, and a low force detection limit of 0.8 Pa. Moreover, MXene-based sensing elements are easily degraded and environmentally friendly. The MXene-based pressure sensor shows promise for practical applications in tracking body movements, sports coaching, remote health monitoring, and human–computer interactions.

Controllable and Gradient Wettability of Bilayer Two-Dimensional Materials Regulated by Interlayer Distance


DOI

https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.2c08282

Abstract (上下滑动查看)

Surfaces with controllable and gradient wettability often require an elaborate design of the microstructure or its response under electrical, thermal, optical, pH, and other stimuli. Generally, the wettability change under these physical or chemical effects relies on a complex mechanism that is difficult to be quantitatively described. In this study, an online controlling strategy for surface wettability and the corresponding theoretical model are put forward based on a bilayer graphene-like atomic structure. Molecular dynamics results indicate that the surface wettability varies toward hydrophilicity after sticking a bottom material regardless of its wettability. But such an influence becomes weak with increasing interlayer distance, and the overall wettability approaches that of the upper layer material gradually. This variation is elucidated by the increase of the work of adhesion, providing new insight into the wetting transparency of graphene. A theoretical model of the governing relationship is established based on the work of adhesion, which correlates the overall surface wettability with the interlayer distance and the wettabilities of individual materials. Moreover, a surface with a uniform wettability gradient is achieved by inclining the bottom material. The spontaneous and steady motion of droplets can be induced by this gradient wettability. The relevant speedup behavior is evaluated through a theoretical model considering the varying interlayer distance, which reveals the critical role of the lower layer. This study proposes a novel strategy for controllable wetting and relevant gradient surfaces using prevailing two-dimensional materials, paving new routes to many applications such as microfluidic chips, virus diagnosis, and intelligent sensors.

In Honor of Professor Daoben Zhu on the Occasion of His 80th Birthday


DOI

https://doi.org/10.1021/acsmaterialslett.2c00591

Abstract (上下滑动查看)

Protocatechuic acid (PCA) is a natural phenolic acid present in daily vegetables and fruits. Notably, PCA was demonstrated to inhibit the biological function of SerpinB9 (Sb9) and exhibit an excellent antitumor effect, showing great potential in cancer treatment. However, the short half-life time limits PCA’s wide application against cancers. To overcome this shortage of PCA, we integrated PCA and another natural product with strong self-assembling properties, isoguanosine (isoG), to develop a novel multifunctional supramolecular hydrogel with good biocompatibility and injectability, which remarkably lengthens the releasing time of PCA and exerts considerable anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo. Besides, we surprisingly found that PCA could not only target Sb9 but also restrain cancer development through activating the JNK/P38 pathway, decreasing the ROS level, and repairing cancer stemness. In all, our results demonstrate that this PCA-based hydrogel could act as a multifunctional hydrogel system equipped with considerable anticancer effects, providing potential local administration integrating with targeted therapy and chemotherapy in one simple modality.

Self-assembly of carbon nanodots induced by liquid–liquid phase separation in a surface microdroplet


DOI

https://doi.org/10.1039/D2SM00557C

Abstract (上下滑动查看)

Evaporating a sessile drop of ternary solutions containing one hydrotrope (such as ethanol) and two immiscible fluids exhibiting fascinating phase separation behaviours, has opened up a new pathway for controlled nanomaterial assembly. In this work, we studied the influence of liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) on the assembly of carbon nanodots (C-dots), 2 nm fluorescent carbon-based nanomaterials with high water solubility. Through self-evaporation of a micro-sized droplet containing ethanol, C-dot-water solution and different oils on a hydrophobic surface, C-dots rearranged into film, porous and granular structures by controlling the properties of oil component in the tenary droplet. Vapour pressure, solubility, surface tension and compositions of the oil components were investigated systematically for their impacts on the evaporation process of C-dot-laden droplets. By using confocal microscopy, we clearly revealed that C-dot assembly was triggered by LLPS in these four oil–water–ethanol ternary systems. The corresponding evaporation and assembly processes were unravelled to be determined by how the ternary solutions pass through the liquid–liquid equilibrium curves in the phase diagrams during evaporation. Our findings deepen the understanding of phase-separation behaviours for nanomaterial assembly as well as provide a novel, simple, and well-controlled approach for depositing different C-dot based nanostructures onto surfaces, which will benefit a wide range of practical applications in the fields of energy, environment and health.

DOI

https://doi.org/10.1039/D2GC01669A


Abstract (上下滑动查看)

Nanocellulose has become a hotspot in the field of green and sustainable materials. As a “clean material”, however, the traditional production process is not completely clean as imagined. In recent years, considerable research progress has been made in the selection of sustainable source materials and the development of clean production processes for nanocellulose. Firstly, this review summarises research publications about sustainable nanocellulose source materials. After that, advances in cleaner nanocellulose production processes are reviewed, including improvements or replacements of chemical treatment to decrease the usage of deleterious chemicals, strengthening of mechanical methods to decrease energy input, and improvements of the overall process flow, emphasizing recycling and regeneration. Subsequently, the evaluation of the nanocellulose environment, health and safety aspects and life cycle assessments are emphasized. Ultimately, the suggestions for promoting the industrialisation of nanocellulose were proposed to provide references for the clean and large-scale production of the nanocellulose industry.

Simulation study of laminar fracture recompaction of metal materials


DOI

https://doi.org/10.11883/bzycj-2021-0262

Abstract (上下滑动查看)

After the shock wave is unloaded on the free surface, the laminar cracking phenomenon often occurs inside the metal. If the inner crack area of the metal is subjected to impact loading again, the metal in the tensile sparse state will gradually be compacted into a dense medium again until the laminar crack area disappears and the re-compaction process is completed. Due to the complexity of the initial tensile state of the metal laminar fracture region and the uncertainty of the state of the material after recompaction, it is difficult to verify the reliability of the macroscopic simulation problem under complex loading conditions. At present, in the case that experimental diagnosis is difficult to accurately give the initial state and recompaction state of the metal laminar fracture region entering the recompaction process, the direct numerical simulation with the ability to describe the internal details of the laminar fracture area has become an effective means to verify the reliability of macroscopic simulation. Firstly, in the direct numerical simulation modeling, the initial tensile state of the metal layer crack region is modeled as three types of cases: only laminar lobe, only holes, and both holes and laminar cracks. Then, through the direct numerical simulation of different porosity, recompaction rate, number of layer fractures and number of holes, the recompaction state of the metal layer crack area under the corresponding working conditions was obtained. Finally, under the condition that the direct simulation and macroscopic simulation are well comparable, the laminar fracture recompaction process is macroscopic modeling and simulation analysis. The analysis shows that under the condition that the macroscopic grid fracture post-processing algorithm uses full stress zeroing and temperature invariance, the macroscopic simulation can better simulate the metal laminar fracture recompaction process and recompaction state under the condition of azifer fracture in the sparse area. If the recompaction process enters the metal laminar cracking region in the initial state of containing only holes, the macroscopic simulation cannot better simulate the laminar cracking recompaction process and the recompaction state regardless of whether the hole collapse forms an interface jet.
