High-Performance Electro-optical Dual-Mode Color-Changing and Energy Storage Device Based on Mo-Doped WO and TiO/NiO Thin Films.

Under optical and electrical control, a multifunctional electro-optical dual-control color-changing and energy storage device not only realizes fast color conversion but also achieves good energy storage performance. In this work, Mo-doped WO (Mo-WO) films were prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method, among which the 2 at. % Mo-doped WO film has the best electrochromic and energy storage performance.

Preparation of a laminated structured polyethyleneimine cryogel for carbon capture.

A cryogel solid amine adsorbent with a laminated structure has been prepared by crosslinking polyethylenimine (PEI) with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) at a low temperature via liquid nitrogen treatment and freeze-drying. The effects of cryogenic treatment on the morphology of the cryogels were investigated. The liquid nitrogen treatment and freeze drying were critical to create the layered structure.

Preparation of a Fiber-Like 3D-Structured Adsorbent for CO Capture.

Solid amine adsorbents are promising materials to mitigate global warming. In this study, a commercially available melamine-formaldehyde sponge was adopted as a support to prepare a kind of solid amine adsorbent using polyethylenimine as a functional component and ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether as a cross-linker. The adsorbent, with abundant tunnels and a high amine loading amount, had a high adsorption capacity.

Polyphenols Extracted from Shanxi-Aged Vinegar Inhibit Inflammation in LPS-Induced RAW264.7 Macrophages and ICR Mice via the Suppression of MAPK/NF-κB Pathway Activation.

Shanxi-aged vinegar, a traditional Chinese grain-fermented food that is rich in polyphenols, has been shown to have therapeutic effects on a variety of diseases. However, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of the anti-inflammatory activity of polyphenols extracted from Shanxi-aged vinegar (SAVEP) to date. The anti-inflammatory activities of SAVEP, both in RAW 264.

Synthesis and characterization of a thermosensitive solid amine biomass adsorbent for carbon dioxide adsorption.

A thermosensitive solid amine fiber SF-AM-co-NIPAM-HBP-NH was synthesized by grafting temperature-sensitive monomer N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) as well as acrylamide (AM) onto the surface of substrate sisal fiber, and further aminating with hyperbranched amine. FTIR, C NMR, SEM, EA and TGA were used to confirm the structure and chemical properties of the grafted fibers. Swelling ratio and CO adsorption-desorption experiment were investigated to verify the thermo-sensitivity of the grafted fibers and their CO adsorption-desorption behavior.

Adaptive Grouping Cloud Model Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm for Solving Continuous Optimization Problems.

The shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) easily falls into local optimum when it solves multioptimum function optimization problem, which impacts the accuracy and convergence speed. Therefore this paper presents grouped SFLA for solving continuous optimization problems combined with the excellent characteristics of cloud model transformation between qualitative and quantitative research. The algorithm divides the definition domain into several groups and gives each group a set of frogs.

[Experiment results of conduction, spectral induced polarization and dielectric characteristics for chrome-contaminated soil].

The resistivity, complex resistivity and complex permittivity of the chrome-contaminated soil were studied. Under the different pollution concentration and water content in the soil samples conditions, the relations between the resistivity, complex resistivity and complex permittivity of the chrome-contaminated soil and water content and the concentration of pollution were analyzed. When adding chrome pollution with different concentrations and water content, the experimental results show that the resistivity and complex resistivity of all the soil samples decreased with the pollution concentration and water content increased; but the phase of complex resistivity, which reflects the soil's capacitance, decreased below the 20 kHz and increase above the 20 kHz frequency.
