These PILs were characterized by FT-IR,H-NMR,C-NMR, TGA, XRD and SEM. Their COadsorption capacities were measured under different pressures and temperatures by constant-volume technique. It was observed that quaternary ammonium PILs of P[VBTHEA]Cl have higher adsorption capacity for COthan those imidazolium PILs, following P[VBTHEA]Cl > P[VEIm]PF> P[VEIm]BF> P[VEIm]Br, which may be ascribed to higher positive charge density on ammonium cation than that on imidazolium cation and thus stronger interaction with CO, consistent with the results from dual-mode adsorption model that ammonium PILs have much higher CObulk absorption than imidazolium PILs. COadsorption capacity of P[VBTHEA]Cl is 9.02 mg/g under 295 K and 1 bar, which is comparable to that of some other PILs, and is much higher than that of the corresponding ILs monomer. These PILs have good adsorption selectivity for COover Nand regeneration efficiency.展开更多

By a simple anion-exchange, we achieved the combination of functional small-molecule probe of acid fuchsin with HBPILs. The obtained HBPIL vesicle displayed ultraviolet absorption at 544 nm, and was used as a novel SO2 derivative sensor with high sensitivity and visualization. Due to the functional ion pairs enriching on the surface, the SO32 detection limit of the HBPILs vesicles was as low as 0.138 gmol/L, which was about 1.5 orders of magnitude lower than that of acid fuchsin.展开更多

After electrostatic complex chloroplatinic acid with PMMPImB shell, the composite NP was directly reduced with N2H4 to produce Au@Pt core-satellite NPs. The characterization of composite and core-satellite NPs under different amounts of chloroplatinic acid were studied by DLS, UV-vis absorption spectrum and TEM. The satellite Pt NPs with a small size （-2 nm） dotted around Au core, and the resulting Au@Pt core-satellite NPs showed a red-shift surface plasmon resonance （SPR） and a good dispersion due to effectively electrostatic repulsion providing by the polymeric ionic liquid （PIL） shell. Finally, Au@Pt core-satellite NPs exhibit an enhanced catalytic activity and cycled catalytic capability for the reduction ofp- nitrophenol with NaBH4.展开更多

They may replace conventional coalescing agents in latex coating thus reducing volatile organic compounds(VOCs) emission as well as improving performance of latex coating products such as better thermal stability, conductivity, and antifouling property. The formation of latex coating containing RTILs can be achieved by encapsulation of RTILs inside particles via miniemulsion polymerization. In this study, the role of RTILs and its concentration on stability of miniemulsion during storage and polymerization were investigated. It has been found that, above a critical concentration(10 wt%), adding more RTILs to oil phase may weaken miniemulsion stability during storage as well as polymerization. Such observations were consistent with the zeta potential measurement for miniemulsions prepared at the similar conditions. The results obtained here would be a useful guideline for the development of new waterborne coating products with desirable functions and particle sizes.展开更多

The resulting copolymer was used to prepare poly（vinylidene fluoride） （PVDF） blend membranes via a phase inversion method. The effects of the copolymer on the polymorphism, surface wettability and zeta potential （0 of the blend membranes were investigated by ATR-FTIR, contact angle instrument and zeta potential analyzer. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM and SEM-EDS） was also applied to investigate the morphology and the surface element changes of the fabricated membranes. The results indicated that P（MMA-co-BVIm-Br） copolymer existed on the surface of the membrane which made the blend membrane have a positive surface during the experimental pH range. The copolymer was also in favor of the formation of βcrystal phase in PVDF membranes. The contact angle experiment indicated that P（MMA-co-BVIm-Br） copolymer could switch the wettability of the blend membranes from hydrophilic to hydrophobic by exchanging Br- anion with PF6-. Compared with pure PVDF membranes, the water flux and water recovery flux of the blend membranes were enhanced obviously. The results from the flux recovery ratio （FR） and total fouling ratio （Rt） all suggested that the blend membranes had good anti-fouling properties.展开更多

They are famous for their clean and efficient solar energy conversion. Nevertheless this, long-time sta- bility is still to be acquired. In recent years research on solid and quasi-solid state electrolytes is extensively in- creased. Various quasi-solid electrolytes, including composites polymer electrolytes, ionic liquid electrolytes, thermoplastic polymer electrolytes and thermosetting polymer electrolytes have been used. Performance and stability of a quasi-solid state electrolyte are between liquid and solid electrolytes. High photovoltaic performances of QS-DSSCs along better long-term stability can be obtained by designing and optimizing quasi-solid electrolytes. It is a prospective candidate for highly efficient and stable DSSCs.展开更多

The nanocatalysts show good catalytic activities for aryl iodides and aryl bromides and moderate activity with aryl chloride substrates. Coupling of sterically hindered substrates could also be achieved in reasonable yields. The heterogeneous catalyst is stable, can be stored without precautions to exclude air or moisture, and can be easily recycled and reused.展开更多
