Organic-inorganic compound mesoporous membrane and preparation method and application thereof

The invention discloses an organic-inorganic compound mesoporous membrane and a preparation method and an application thereof, belonging to the field of membrane materials. The preparation method thereof includes three steps, namely the preparation of precursor solution, the filtration preparation of compound mesoporous membrane and the elution of surface active agent in the membrane, namely that the method of filtration is mainly used for assembling inorganic mesoporous materials in pores in a polycarbonate membrane so as to prepare the compound membrane, and the mode of extraction and elution is utilized for eliminating the surface active agent in the compound membrane, thereby obtaining the organic-inorganic compound mesoporous membrane; and the pore diameter of the mesoporous material in the membrane is 3.0nm or 8.0 nm. Compared with the formerly reported inorganic compound mesoporous membrane, the organic-inorganic compound mesoporous membrane has better flexibility, hard breakage and better acid and alkali resistance. Besides, due to the ordering and the nanometer size effect of the pore diameter of the mesoporous structure, the organic-inorganic compound mesoporous membrane can be applied to the fields of molecular dimension selective transfer, membrane separation, etc.

Redox-Flow Batteries Employing Oligomeric Organic Active Materials and Size-Selective Microporous Polymer Membranes

Intermittent energy sources, including solar and wind, require scalable, low-cost, multi-hour energy storage solutions to be effectively incorporated into the grid. Redox-flow batteries offer a solution, but suffer from rapid capacity fade and low Coulombic efficiency due to the high permeability of redox-active species across the battery's membrane. Here we show that active-species crossover can be arrested by scaling the membrane's pore size to molecular dimensions and in turn increasing the size of the active material to be above the membrane's pore-size exclusion limit. When oligomeric redox-active organic molecules were paired with microporous polymer membranes, the rate of active-material crossover was either completely blocked or slowed more than 9,000-fold compared to traditional separators at minimal cost to ionic conductivity. In the case of the latter, this corresponds to an absolute rate of ROM crossover of less than 3 μmol cm−2 day−1 (for a 1.0 M concentration gradient), which exceeds performance targets recently set forth by the battery industry. This strategy was generalizable to both high and low-potential ROMs in a variety of electrolytes, highlighting the importance of macromolecular design in implementing next-generation redox-flow batteries.

Adsorbent structures for removal of water and fuel contaminants in engine oil

Devices and methods for removal of condensed, blow-by contaminants with small molecular dimensions from the circulating lubricating engine oil of internal combustion engines, including automotive engines, with a positive crankcase ventilation system are disclosed. These condensable blow-by contaminants include water, alcohols and hydrocarbons with preponderantly seven or fewer carbon atoms. A macroporous structure comprising alumino-silicate particles with micro-pores is at least partially immersed in the circulating oil. The micro-pores are sized to adsorb the small, condensed, blow-by, contaminant molecules but not the larger oil molecules. The particles may be multi-layered, with an inner layer adapted for adsorption of polar molecules. Adsorption is most extensive at lower oil temperatures and decreases as the oil temperature increases. Thus at low temperatures the contaminant molecules may be adsorbed, removed from the oil and temporarily stored in the micropores. At high temperatures some of the contaminants will desorb and be re-incorporated in the oil. The desorbed contaminants will be carried with the higher temperature oil into the engine crankcase where they may vaporize and be removed by the engine positive crankcase ventilation system.

Polyamide composite membrane and preparation method thereof

The invention provides a polyamide composite membrane which is characterized by comprising a composite membrane body, wherein the composite membrane body comprises non-woven cloth, a porous support layer and a polyamide layer arranged sequentially; the polyamide layer is prepared by an interfacial polymerization reaction of a polyamine solution and a polyacyl chloride solution; and polyamine has astar type molecule structure. Polyamine with the star type molecule structure has the following advantages that: a, more cross-linked structure are easily formed during interfacial polymerization, sothat a nascent membrane structure is more compact; b, due to higher molecular weight and larger molecular dimension, polyamine more difficultly penetrates through the nascent membrane to continue toreact with trimesoyl chloride; and a formed functional layer is thinner; and c, during the subsequent interfacial polymerization with trimesoyl chloride, the original carbon skeleton is not changed todamage the performance of the membrane. The invention further discloses a preparation method of the polyamide composite membrane. The preparation method has the characteristics of simplified technology, easy control of technical parameters, good quality and the like.

Method for improving catalytic selectivity of metal nanoparticle/porous coordination polymer composite catalyst and application thereof

The invention relates to a method for improving catalytic selectivity of a metal nanoparticle/porous coordination polymer composite catalyst and application thereof. A passivator with the size larger than the hole diameter of porous coordination polymer is utilized to passivate metal nanoparticles compounded on the outer surface of the porous coordination polymer to reduce or inhibit catalytic activity thereof; meanwhile, catalytic activity of the metal nanoparticles in hole channels of the porous coordination polymer is kept; thus, the catalytic selectivity of the metal nanoparticle/porous coordination polymer composite catalyst is improved. A poisoningpassivating effect of the passivator to a metal catalyst is utilized, and a trace of reagents of quinoline, mercaptan and the like are introduced into a catalytic reaction system to passivate a part of metal nanoparticles being unfavorable for selective catalyst in the composite catalyst. When the method is applied to catalytic hydrogenation reaction of olefin, molecular dimension selectivity or chemical reaction locus selectivity can be effectively improved. The method is simple, easy and practicable and provides a novel design idea for further improving the catalytic selectivity of the composite catalyst.

Nitrogen-hydrogen mixed plasma cleaning method suitable for substrate circuit

The invention relates to a nitrogen-hydrogen mixed plasma cleaning method suitable for a substrate circuit. The specific method comprises the following steps of: (1) placing an integrated circuit substrate circuit to be cleaned in a plasma cleaning machine cleaning chamber, and closing a door of the cleaning chamber; (2) injecting the nitrogen-hydrogen mixture gas with a certain proportion; (3) setting parameters of the RF power, the cavity vacuum, and the cleaning time; and (4) starting a cleaning program to perform plasma cleaning, taking out the substrate circuit after the steps are finished, and closing the door of the cleaning chamber. The nitrogen-hydrogen mixed plasma cleaning method has the advantages in that: a chemical reagent is not used in the cleaning process so as to have little influence on operators and the environment; the cleaning process is performed in a vacuum environment, the process gas is little in consumption, and the cost is low; a clamp is configured to perform large-scale cleaning; the removal effect for the molecular dimension-level dirty mark is better than a method of plasma cleaning by employing the nitrogen-hydrogen mixed gas. The nitrogen-hydrogenmixed plasma cleaning method is suitable for surface cleaning prior to welding of thick-film substrate circuits such as alumina and beryllium oxide and thin-film substrate circuits.
