Charge Transportation and Chirality in Liquid Crystalline Helical Network Phases of Achiral BTBT-Derived Polycatenar Molecules

First examples of multichain (polycatenar) compounds, based on the π-conjugated [1]benzothieno[3,2-b]benzothiophene unit are designed, synthesized, and their soft self-assembly and charge carrier mobility are investigated. These compounds, terminated by the new fan-shaped 2-brominated 3,4,5-trialkoxybenzoate moiety, form bicontinuous cubic liquid crystalline (LC) phases with helical network structure over extremely wide temperature ranges (>200 K), including ambient temperature. Compounds with short chains show an achiral cubic phase with the double network, which upon increasing the chain length, is at first replaced by a tetragonal 3D phase and then by a mirror symmetry is broken triple network cubic phase. In the networks, the capability of bypassing defects provides enhanced charge carrier mobility compared to imperfectly aligned columnar phases, and the charge transportation is non-dispersive, as only rarely observed for LC materials. At the transition to a semicrystalline helical network phase, the conductivity is further enhanced by almost one order of magnitude. In addition, a mirror symmetry broken isotropic liquid phase is formed beside the 3D phases, which upon chain elongation is removed and replaced by a hexagonal columnar LC phase.     

Lithiation MXene Derivative Skeletons for Wide-Temperature Lithium Metal Anodes

Lithium (Li) metal, as an appealing candidate for the next-generation of high-energy-density batteries, is plagued by its safety issue mainly caused by uncontrolled dendrite growth and infinite volume expansion. Developing new materials that can improve the performance of Li-metal anode is one of the urgent tasks. Herein, a new MXene derivative containing pure rutile TiO₂ and N-doped carbon prepared by heat-treating MXene under a mixing gas, exhibiting high chemical activity in molten Li, is reported. The lithiation MXene derivative with a hybrid of LiTiO₂-Li₃N-C and Li offers outstanding electrochemical properties. The symmetrical cell assembling lithiation MXene derivative hybrid anode exhibits an ultra-long cycle lifespan of 2000 h with an overpotential of ≈30 mV at 1 mA cm⁻², which overwhelms Li-based anodes reported so far. Additionally, long-term operations of 34, 350, and 500 h at 10 mA cm⁻² can be achieved in symmetrical cells at temperatures of −10, 25, and 50 °C, respectively. Both experimental tests and density functional theory calculations confirm that the LiTiO₂-Li₃N-C skeleton serves as a promising host for Li infusion by alleviating volume variation. Simultaneously, the superlithiophilic interphase of Li₃N guides Li deposition along the LiTiO₂-Li₃N-C skeleton to avoid dendrite growth.     

微波制备淀粉-油酸复合物及其消化特性的研究

目的微波制备淀粉-油酸复合物,降低大米淀粉消化速率,调控其消化特性。方法在微波作用下,将油酸引入淀粉体系使其与直链淀粉相互作用形成复合物,分析比较复合物的短程有序度、结晶结构、晶粒大小、热稳定性与消化特性的关系。结果相比于原淀粉,油酸的引入提高了淀粉的抗消化性,淀粉与油酸形成的复合物呈典型的V型结晶结构,并显示出比原淀粉更好的热稳定性。淀粉油酸复合物的短程有序度、相对结晶度、晶粒尺寸与微波处理温度呈负相关,且较低温度下制备的复合物具有更好的抗消化性。结论淀粉和油酸复合后消化速率降低,较低微波处理温度下制备的淀粉油酸复合物结晶结构更好,因而赋予其更好的抗消化性。     

薯类粉条中与淀粉相关的结构性质研究

为了解薯类淀粉粉条结构特点,选取3种木薯淀粉(SC9、SC205、LMC),3种淮山淀粉(GY2、SFY、MPY)和1种红薯淀粉(XSSP)制成的粉条为研究对象,对其色泽、微观样貌、结晶结构进行测定和比较。结果表明,各粉条的色泽、微观样貌、结晶结构差异显著。星树红薯粉条色泽最好,而双峰淮山粉条色泽较暗。淮山粉条和红薯粉条存在部分还未完全糊化的淀粉颗粒,呈现出清晰的团粒结构,木薯粉条的糊化程度最高,淀粉的团粒结构已基本消失,SC9木薯粉条可以看到均匀完整的网络结构。粉条的结晶结构均遭到破坏,不同品种薯类粉条的有序结构与无序结构比例有明显差异。     

Formation mechanism of Ti(C,N) solid solution in Al-brown fused alumina refractory at 1973 K in flowing N2

Brown fused alumina is a cost-effective alumina material, and the state of Ti in alumina has a great influence on its high-temperature performance. In this paper, the Ti-containing phases in brown fused alumina particles and Al-brown fused alumina refractory were successfully transformed into Ti(C,N) at 1973 K in flowing N₂. The evolution of the Ti-containing phases in brown fused alumina under high temperature and nitrogen conditions was investigated by XRD, SEM and EDS. The results show that the Ti-containing phases in brown fused alumina include Ti₂O₃, Ti(C,N,O), TiFeSi₂, Ca_0·95Mg_0·9Al_10·1(Ti)O₁₇ and a low-melting point Ca₃Al₂Si₃(Mg,Ti)O₁₂ phase. Under high temperature and nitrogen conditions, the TiO_2[liquid], MgO_[liquid] and SiO_2[liquid] in the low-melting point phase are transformed into Ti(C,N), Mg(g) and SiO(g), while they are supplemented from Ti₂O₃, Ti(C,N,O) and Ca_0·95Mg_0·9Al_10·1(Ti)O₁₇. After heat treatment at 1973 K for 3 h, Ti₂O₃ and Ti(C,N,O) disappear, Ca_0·95Mg_0·9Al_10·1(Ti)O₁₇ is transformed into plate-like Ca_0·55Al₁₁O_17.05, and Ti(C,N) is formed on the surface of the corundum particles. The formation of Ti(C,N) reduces the porosity of the brown fused alumina particles and increases their strength.     

Hydrogen storage in Zr0.9Ti0.1(Ni0.5Cr0.5-xVx)2 Laves phase,with x = 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375, 0.5. A theoretical approach

Density functional calculations were performed on Zr_0.9Ti_0.1(Ni_0.5Cr_0.5-xV_x)₂ Laves Phase, with x = 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375 and 0.5, in order to study its H absorption capacity. Binding energy, electronic structure and bonding were analyzed for the intermetallic compound with different V content and increasing amounts of hydrogen.The optimized geometry was found in good agreement with experimental data of the C14 Laves phase. Hydrogen locates preferentially in A₂B₂ tetrahedral sites in the AB₂ matrix (A = Zr, Ti; B = Ni, Cr, V) but AB₃ and B₄sites are also stable. The volume of the intermetallic and the H binding energy increases with vanadium content. Theoretically H absorption is possible up to 4.5 H/F.U. but the strongest binding energy is achieved with 3 H/F. U.The main contribution to density of states is due to d states of all components of the structure and an H-metal bonding is observed in the range ?10 to ?4 eV.
