A sulfonated diamine monomer, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether-2,2'-disulfonic acid (ODADS), was successfully synthesized by direct sulfonation of a commercially available diamine, ether (ODA), using fuming sulfuric as the sulfonating reagent. series polyimides were prepared from 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTDA), ODADS, and common nonsulfonated diamines. The resulting displayed much better stability toward water than those derived widely used 2,2'-benzidinedisulfonic (BDSA)....
Zinc-anode-based batteries have been widely studied because of their low cost, high capacity, and energy density. However, the formation dendrites on zinc anode during cycling severely affects stability safety this type battery. In work, a series electrolyte additives with potential to counter problem were studied. We found that lithium chloride (LiCl) additive can suppress growth stabilize Zn metal anode, which cations (Li+) preferentially form Li2O/Li2CO3 upon surface provide shielding...
Abstract Aqueous zinc batteries, that demonstrate high safety and low cost, are considered promising candidates for large‐scale energy storage. However, Zn anodes suffer from rapid performance deterioration due to the severe dendrite growth side reactions. Herein, with a low‐cost ammonium acetate (NH 4 OAc) additive, self‐regulated Zn/electrolyte interface is built address these problems. The NH + induces dynamic electrostatic shielding layer around abrupt protuberance make deposition...
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are promising alternatives to lithium-ion for grid-scale energy storage. However, the practical application of AZIBs is challenged by side reactions and unsatisfactory performance. Electrolyte additives reported that can inhibit on Zn anode enlarge working potential window aqueous electrolytes. Here we propose trace amounts perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) facilitate long-term reversible deposition in due perfluorinated n-octyl chains ordered orientation adsorbing...
This review summarizes the fundamental understanding of issues and strategies on zinc anode. The electrolyte engineering is discussed. Techniques applied analysing interaction between anodes electrolytes are summarized.
In aqueous zinc (Zn) batteries, the Zn anode suffers from severe corrosion reactions and consequent dendrite growth troubles that cause fast performance decay. Herein, we uncover mechanism confirm dissolved oxygen (DO) other than reputed proton is a principal origin of by-product precipitates, especially during initial battery resting period. break common physical deoxygenation methods, propose chemical self-deoxygenation strategy to tackle DO-induced hazards. As proof concept, sodium...
Abstract Zinc batteries hold great potential for stationary energy storage but suffer from severe dendrite growth, corrosion, and hydrogen evolution troubles in aqueous electrolytes. Despite the impressive efficacy of non‐flammable hydrous organic electrolytes addressing these problems, insufficient ionic conductivity hinders rate capability practicability Zn batteries. Here, methanol is proposed as a co‐solvent ethylene glycol (EG)‐based electrolytes, where its methyl terminal group can...
A new sulfonated diamine monomer, 9,9-bis(4-aminophenyl)fluorene-2,7-disulfonic acid (BAPFDS), was synthesized by direct sulfonation of the parent diamine, 9,9-bis(4-aminophenyl)fluorene (BAPF), using fuming sulfuric as sulfonating reagent. series polyimides with different degrees were prepared from 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTDA), BAPFDS, and common nonsulfonated diamines. The resulting generally showed good solubility in m-cresol DMSO. Proton conductivities these...

S100 proteins are small adaptors that regulate the activity of partner by virtue direct protein interactions. Here, we describe first molecule blockers interaction between S100A10 and annexin A2. Molecular docking yielded candidate were screened for competition binding an A2 peptide to S100A10. Several inhibitory clusters identified with some containing compounds potency in lower micromolar range. We chose...
A simple approach for the preparation of OPBI porous membranes by simply extracting PEG from dry OPBI/PEG blend membranes.
A facile approach has been successfully developed for the preparation of a series cross-linked sulfonated polyimide (SPI) membranes via condensation reaction between sulfonic acid groups and activated hydrogen atoms SPIs in presence phosphorous pentoxide : methanesulfonic ratio 1 10 by weight (PPMA, method 1) or only (method 2). The resulting sulfonyl linkages are very stable SPI showed greatly improved water stability comparison with uncross-linked ones while high proton conductivity was maintained.
Annexin A2 (AnxA2) and S100A10 are known to form a molecular complex. Using fluorescence‐based binding assays, we show that both proteins localised on the cell surface, in allows mutual interaction. We hypothesized between these could facilitate cell–cell interactions. For cells express surface annexin A2, interactions can be blocked by competing with interaction proteins. Thus an A2‐S100A10 bridge participates interactions, revealing hitherto unexplored function of this protein
Abstract Novel sulfonated polyimides (SPIs) were prepared from 1,4,5,8‐naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTDA), 2,2′‐bis(4‐aminophenoxy)biphenyl‐5,5′‐disulfonic acid ( o BAPBDS) with nonlinear configuration, and common nonsulfonated diamines. Water uptake (WU) in liquid vapor, water stability, proton conductivity σ of the resulting SPI membranes investigated. They soluble m ‐cresol dimethylsulfoxide, their WUs much larger than those SPIs other diamines linear configuration such as...
