Strongly active and environmentally friendly WO/CN photocatalysts for converting cyclohexane to cyclohexanone under ambient conditions.

C-H bond activation under mild conditions remains a great challenge in the chemical industry, while catalytic cyclohexane oxidation is inefficient and often requires organic solvents and strong oxidants. This study constructed a CN/WO Z-type heterojunction catalyst to efficiently convert cyclohexane into cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol (KA oil) through aqueous phase oxidation by O under visible light irradiation. With strong redox performance and high photogenerated carrier separation ability, the proposed composite catalyst can produce the key active species for cyclohexane oxidation in the HO-O system.

An Antisweat Interference and Highly Sensitive Temperature Sensor Based on Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-Poly(styrenesulfonate) Fiber Coated with Polyurethane/Graphene for Real-Time Monitoring of Body Temperature.

Body temperature is an important indicator of human health. The traditional mercury and medical electronic thermometers have a slow response (≥1 min) and can not be worn for long to achieve continuous temperature monitoring due to their rigidity. In this work, we prepared a skin-core structure polyurethane (PU)/graphene encapsulated poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) temperature-sensitive fiber in one step by combining wet spinning technology with impregnation technology.
