Enhancement of Synergistic Photocatalytic Performance by Anchoring Cadmium Sulfide on Nanosphere Structured Coordination Polymers.

Precisely tuning how and where a reaction occurs in a one-step selective system is important but challenging owing to the similar electronic environments in multiple active sites. In this work, highly selective and effective reaction sites were obtained by generating copper coordination polymers (Cu-CP) of a range of sizes and morphologies, from bulk solid crystals () to uniform nanosphere structures (), by controlling the amount of surfactant hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The results indicated that the morphology and size of the uniform nanosphere structures were affected by the proportion of CTAB; uniform distribution of nanosphere structures was achieved with a premade building carrier when the content of CTAB was 0.

Robust cooperative of cadmium sulfide with highly ordered hollow microstructure coordination polymers for regulating the photocatalytic performance.

Accurately controlling and achieving selective reactivity at difficult-to-access reaction sites in organic molecules is challenging owing to the similar local and electronic environments of multiple reaction sites. In this work, we regulated multiple reaction sites in a highly selective and active manner using cobalt coordination polymers (Co-CP) 1 and 1a with various particle sizes and morphologies ranging from large granular to ordered hollow hemispheres by introducing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a surfactant. The size and morphology of the catalysts could be tuned by controlling the amount of SDS.

Triboelectric Nanogenerators Assembled by Cobalt(II) Coordination Polymer Incorporated Composite Films and their Application for Self-Powered Anticorrosion.

A friction layer with stability and durability is important to promote the practical application of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). In this work, a two-dimensional cobalt coordination polymer (Co-CP) was successfully synthesized using cobalt nitrate, 4,4',4''-tricarboxyltriphenylamine and 2,2'-bipyridine. To clearly clarify the effect of the doping proportions of Co-CP and the types of composite polymers on the output performance of the TENG, Co-CP was combined with two organic polymers having different polarities (polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and ethyl cellulose (EC)) to form a series of composite films, which were used as the friction electrode materials to fabricate TENGs.
