Near-Infrared Photodriven Self-Sustained Oscillation of Liquid-Crystalline Network Film with Predesignated Polydopamine Coating

Movement is one of the vital features of living systems, and remote control of bioinspired soft robotic systems in a precise, contactless and harmless way is extremely desirable but challenging. A near-infrared (NIR) photodriven polymeric oscillator is designed and fabricated by selectively coating a mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) polymer layer on the surface of splay-aligned liquid crystalline network (LCN) film. The oscillating motions of the LCN oscillators can be facilely manipulated by tuning light intensity and film thickness. More importantly, the programmability of the PDA coating enables the oscillating behaviors of LCN film to be predesignated and finely adjusted by coating the film with PDA locally and repeatedly. The self-oscillating movement mechanism can be attributed to the temperature oscillation at the PDA-coated LCN film since it is alternatively exposed and sheltered to the NIR-light irradiations. Owing to over 50% NIR irradiation in solar spectrum, PDA-coated film is found to oscillate upon exposure of focused sunlight, presenting great potential in fabrication of solar power generation devices. This provides a versatile strategy to fabricate NIR-light-actuated polymeric oscillators, providing inspirations in the development of biological soft robots and advanced biomimetic devices.

Reductant-assisted polydopamine-modified membranes for efficient water purification

Surface engineering with polydopamine coatings has been considered a promising surface functionalisation tool.However,it is difficult to control the self-polymerisation for polydopamine formation,which usually causes severe interparticle aggregation.In this study,polydopamine self-polymerisation was controlled by adjusting its reducing environment using a reductant(NaBH4)to fabricate mixed cellulose ester(MCE)/polydopamine membranes.An oxidising environment using NaIO4 was additionally tested as the control.The results showed that a thin polydopamine coating with small polydopamine particles was formed on the skeleton frameworks of the MCE membrane with NaBH4,and the self-polymerisation rate was suppressed.The polydopamine coating formed in the reducing environment facilitated excellent water transport performance with a water permeance of approximately 400 L·m^?2·h^?1·bar^?1 as well as efficient organic foulant removal with a bovine serum albumin rejection of approximately 90%.In addition,the polydopamine coating with NaBH4 exhibited both excellent chemical stability and anti-microbial activity,demonstrating the contribution of the reducing environment to the performance of the MCE/polydopamine membranes.It shows significant potential for use in water purification.     

Formation of Mo–Polydopamine Hollow Spheres and Their Conversions to MoO2/C and Mo2C/C for Efficient Electrochemical Energy Storage and Catalyst

Highly uniform hierarchical Mo–polydopamine hollow spheres are synthesized for the first time through a liquid‐phase reaction under ambient temperature. A self‐assembly mechanism of the hollow structure of Mo–polydopamine precursor is discussed in detail, and a determined theory is proposed in a water‐in‐oil system. Via different annealing process, these precursors can be converted into hierarchical hollow MoO₂/C and Mo₂C/C composites without any distortion in shape. Owing to the well‐organized structure and nanosize particle embedding, the as‐prepared hollow spheres exhibit appealing performance both as the anode material for lithium‐ion batteries and as the catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Accordingly, MoO₂/C delivers a high reversible capacity of 940 mAh g^?1 at 0.1 A g^?1 and 775 mAh g^?1 at 1 A g^?1 with good rate capability and long cycle performance. Moreover, Mo₂C/C also exhibits an enhanced electrocatalytic performance with a low overpotential for HER in both acidic and alkaline conditions, as well as remarkable stability.
