Polyolefin separators with worse porous structures and compatibilities mismatch the internal environment and deteriorate lithium-ion battery (LIB) combination properties. In this study, a sulfonated SiO (SSD) composited polypropylene separator (PP@SSD) is prepared to homogenize pore sizes and in situ-built SSD coatings on porous skeletons. Imported SSD uniformizes pore sizes owing to centralized interface distributions within casting films. Meanwhile, abundant cavitations enable the in situ SSD coating to facilely fix onto porous skeleton surfaces during separator fabrications, which feature simple techniques, low cost, environmental friendliness, and the capability for continuous fabrications. A sturdy SSD coating on the porous skeleton confines thermal shrinkages and offers a superior safety guarantee for LIBs. The abundant sulfonic acid groups of SSD endow PP@SSD with excellent electrolyte affinity, which lowers Li transfer barriers and optimizes interfacial compatibility. Therefore, assembled LIBs give the optimal C-rate capacity and cycling stability, holding a capacity retention of 82.7% after the 400th cycle at 0.5 C.

Developing adsorbent materials for the efficient removal of multiple organic pollutants in water is of importance technological significance. In the present work, a kind of conjugated microporous polymer (CMP) with a hollow sphere structure was constructed by applying SiO nanoparticles as a template and 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene (TEB) and 2,7-dibromocarbazole (27-DBCZ) as building blocks via the Sonogashira-Hagihara cross-coupling reaction. In order to further improve the dispersibility of the as-resulting CMPs in water, hydrophilic CMPs (H-S-CMPs) were obtained by a sulfonation modification.

TiO-based nanocoatings exhibit great promise in practical applications owing to their superior photocatalytic property. However, because of the wide band gap of TiO, its photocatalytic capacity is only limited in the ultraviolet range. Herein, we designed and constructed robust SiO@TiO composite nanocoatings with improved transmittance and visible-light-activated photocatalytic self-cleaning properties.

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging contaminants present in various water sources. Their bioaccumulation and potential toxicity necessitate proper treatment to ensure safe water quality. Although iron-based monometallic photocatalysts have been reported to exhibit rapid and efficient PFAS degradation, the impact of bimetallic photocatalysts is unknown.
