A 2023, 127, 4, 876-885, 2023.06, In this study we employ density functional theory to investigate the binding interaction between polydimethylsiloxane and CO2 for application in gas separation membranes. The binding strength has been studied systematically as a function of the monomer conformational rotations in the polymer chain. Our work identified major differences between the CO2 interaction with the helical conformation and the linear conformation of polydimethylsiloxane polymer chains. We have further estimated dependence between the CO2 binding strength and the polydimethylsiloxane polymer chain curvature by systematically evaluating the CO2 binding to cyclic polydimethylsiloxane oligomers. The enhanced CO2 interaction with helical chains and cyclic oligomers was attributed to cooperative, confinement effects, and local electron density distribution at the Si–O–Si fragments. The binding modes were identified using vibration frequency analysis.. |

In addition, a continuous system for CO2 capture and its reduction by hydrogen using coupled reactors has scarcely been investigated. In this study, a new continuous system consisting of an m-DAC and a methanation process (m-DAC-M) was developed. For methanation, Ni nanoparticles supported on Ca-loaded Al2O3 (Ni-Ca/Al2O3; 10 wt% Ni and 6 wt% CaO) were utilized as a dual functional material (DFM). The Ni-Ca/Al2O3 exhibited high CH4 productivity and selectivity, good stability over 100 h, and high humidity resistance properties at a low reaction temperature of 350 °C. The catalytic properties of Ni-Ca/Al2O3 were elucidated using microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The characterization results indicated that the CaO species not only served as CO2 adsorption sites to trap concentrated CO2 from the m-DAC system but also improved the reducibility of oxidized Ni species in the hydrogenation period, thereby promoting the reduction of surface carbonate species to CH4.. |

We annealed the copolymer samples and varied the annealing temperature to evaluate the influence of changes in the microstructure on the gas transport properties of PEBA. In addition, we used time-resolved attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to evaluate the diffusion coefficient of CO2 in PEBA based on the Fickian model. The effect of the annealing temperature on the microphase-separated structure of the multiblock copolymer is discussed in detail. Furthermore, the gas diffusivity was significantly affected by the purity of the soft domains. The annealed sample demonstrated a 38% increase in CO2 permeability while maintaining a high CO2/N2 permselectivity of approximately 53. The findings of this study provide valuable insight into the design and optimization of PEBA membranes for gas separation applications.. |
| 4. | Takeo Nakano*[a] and Shigenori Fujikawa, Solvatochromic Properties of (Iso)quinolylpyrrole-Boron Difluoride Complexes Bearing an N,N-Diphenylanilinyl Group and Its Regiochemical Effect, ChemPhotoChem, 2023.09, Asymmetric boron complexes composed of (iso)quinolyl-pyrrole ligands possessing a triphenylamine unit on the (iso)quinoline or pyrrole moieties were systematically prepared. Their optical properties were investigated in various organic solvents, and they showed solvatochromic properties, which were influenced by the π-structure of the ligands and the position of the electron-donor group. The degrees of changes in the emission color changed significantly between regioisomeric chromophores 1 and 2. In this study, the solvatochromic properties of the compounds were investigated and described using both experimental and computational results.. |

For performing the calculations, we used the MDGRAPE-3 system - -a special-purpose computer system for molecular dynamics simulations. Its nominal peak performance was 415 TFLOPS for Coulomb force calculations; this is the highest-ever performance reported for classical molecular dynamics simulations. Amyloid fibril formation is known to be related to the occurrence of severe diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob diseases. The Sup35 protein is a "yeast prion protein," which forms mini-crystals due to aggregation; it forms an effective platform for studying the formation process of amyloid fibrils. In these simulations, we first elucidate that the amyloid-forming peptides GNNQQNY aggregate at a higher frequency than non-amyloid-forming peptides SQNGNQQRG; further, the GNNQQNY peptides tend to form parallel two-stranded -sheets that would grow into a cross- amyloid nucleus. The results are consistent with those obtained experimentally. Furthermore, we could observe an early elongation of the amyloid nucleus. This result is expected to contribute toward a deeper understanding of the amyloid growth mechanism.. |

The diffusion constant, which is 100 times smaller than that of a normal liquid such as water, was estimated from long-time simulations. We also performed non-equilibrium MD simulations to determine the electrical conductivity. We obtained a nonlinear relationship between the electrical current and external electric field strength.. |

The fin array enables light confinement between the high-aspect-ratio fins, thus generating optical vortices. The light confinement between the fins produces sharp dips in the reflection spectrum of the array. We show that the position of the dip wavelength is sensitive to change in the refractive index of the surrounding medium. Sensitivity to change in the refractive index was quantified by optical simulation and experimental measurements.. |

Here, GO paper is prepared from aqueous dispersion by vacuum-filtration, and the hydrogen permeability (2 × 10−2 barrer) is measured to be 3 orders of magnitude lower than Nafion (30 barrer) at 30 °C. The in-plane and through-plane conductivities are measured to be 49.9 and 0.3 mS cm−1, respectively. This significant anisotropy is attributed to the lamellar structure of GO, and the physical anisotropy between the thickness and lateral size of the GO nanoplatelets. Interestingly, the in-plane conductivity of GO is comparable to the through-plane conductivity of Nafion. GO membrane fuel cells (GOMFCs) are fabricated. To compensate for the low in-plane conductivity of GO, whilst taking advantage of the excellent hydrogen gas barrier properties, extremely thin electrode-supported GOMFCs are prepared by spray painting GO directly onto the electrocatalyst layer. The effect of membrane thickness on cell performance is investigated. Decreasing membrane thickness by spray painting improves the power density from 3.7 mW cm−2 for a 50 μm-thick membrane-supported GOMFC, to 79 mW cm−2 for a 3 µm-thick, spray-painted membrane, electrode-supported GOMFC.. |

We previously showed that multilayer polyethyleneimine/graphene oxide thin films, (PEI/GO)15, on steel display superlubricity against a steel counterface ball. Here, the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear of (PEI/GO)15 with six different counterface polymer balls is investigated in air and in nitrogen, with particular focus on the formation of tribological transfer films. The polymers polyoxymethylene (POM), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyethylene (PE), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are utilized. The COF of (PEI/GO)15 vs steel is 0.35 in both air and nitrogen. In air, the COF ranges from 0.06 to 0.17 for all polymers. Significantly, in nitrogen, four polymers (POM, PEEK, PMMA and PC) display ultra-low friction (COF ∼0.02) whilst two do not (PTFE and PE). The wear tracks and transfer films are investigated using e.g. optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and Raman mapping, and the tribological behavior is correlated to the hydrophilicity and relative hardness of the polymer balls compared to GO.. |

Membrane thinning is one of the most promising approaches to achieve high fluxes. In addition, sophisticated molecular transport across membranes can boost gas separation performance.

For designing advanced soft devices, there is a strong demand to quantitatively analyze the deformation behavior of soft materials. Recently, a surface labeled grating method has been developed as a new tool to quantitatively measure the bending behavior of flexible films. In this study, we investigated the effect of hardness of the film to be measured on the surface strain evaluated by this method.. |

However, the design of porous polymers has suffered from the limited availability of suitable building blocks. Here we propose a conceptually new strategy for the design of porous polymers, which involves the transformation of a rigid linear polymer into a rigid zigzag polymer with a large free volume around the polymer backbone. This strategy relies on a boron-mediated alkyne benzannulation reaction, which was recently developed by our group. When the benzannulation reaction was applied to poly(phenylene ethynylene) (PPE) derivatives, a linear-to-zigzag structural transformation successfully occurred to give the corresponding p-conjugated polymers with a diarylphenanthrene unit in the main chain. As revealed by N2 adsorption experiments, while the parent PPEs were non-porous, the zigzag polymers in the solid state possessed porosity with a specific surface area of up to 366 m2 g1, where the surface area largely depended on the steric bulkiness of the substituents on the polymer. Considering the fact that a wide variety of PPE derivatives have so far been synthesized, the present strategy may open a new avenue for the development of functional porous polymers.. |

C8PTC forms columnar hexagonal liquid crystalline assemblies oriented parallel to the glass substrate, while the in-plane orientation of the long columnar axis is perpendicular to the surface of Au- NFs. This unique alignment reflects the interaction between the aromatic π-surface and the bare gold surface of NFs. This work provides a new perspective to design and control molecular selfassembly confined in the designed surface nanopatterns.. |

Moreover, the performance of defect-free layers with known gas permeability can be effectively described using the classical resistance in series models to predict both permeance and selectivity of the composite membrane. In this work, we have investigated the Pebax®-MH1657/PDMS double layer membrane as a selective/gutter layer combination that has the potential to achieve sufficient CO2/N2 selectivity and permeance for efficient CO2 and N2 separation. CO2 and N2 transport through membranes with different thicknesses of two layers has been investigated both experimentally and with the utilization of resistance in series models. Model prediction for permeance/selectivity corresponded perfectly with experimental data for the thicker membranes. Surprisingly, a significant decrease from model predictions was observed when the thickness of the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) (gutter layer) became relatively small (below 2 µm thickness). Material properties changed at low thicknesses-surface treatments and influence of porous support are discussed as possible reasons for observed deviations.. |

In this study, electron-accepting sulfonated polyimide (SPI) and electron-donating polyether (PE), were used to develop polymer-polymer type CT membranes. The formation of CT complex in the obtained SPI/PE membranes was confirmed by visible spectroscopy. The use of flexible spacers in the PE and heat treatment of the CT membranes, enhanced the CT complex formation. SPI/PE CT membranes showed 1.9–2.2 times higher mechanical strength than the original SPI, while SPI/PE 0.33 CT membrane with heat treatment at 130 °C for 2 h showed 4.3 times higher mechanical strength than the original SPI. Hydrogen permeability through SPI/PE CT membranes was 4.1–5.4 times lower than Nafion 212 and 1.4–1.9 times lower than the original SPI membrane. We have prepared a thin SPI/PE CT membrane (10 µm thickness), that showed comparable OCV (0.88 V), similar resistance compared to Nafion 212 and demonstrated more than 10 h of durability in a fuel cell test; suggesting that SPI/PE thin CT membrane can be applied for PEFC application.. |

Although several mechanisms for recovering hydrophobicity have been proposed, none has been proven unequivocally. We discovered that the hydrophobic recovery of surface-oxidized PDMS films was accelerated when the films were stored in a closed chamber under an atmosphere containing dimethylsiloxane derivatives such as octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, which had evaporated from the films and were detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry measurements. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and quartz crystal microbalance measurements were used to monitor the chemical deposition of the derivatives on the surface-oxidized substrates, and the formation of a hydrophobic dimethyl silicone layer rendered the oxidized surfaces hydrophobic again. In the absence of superficial hydrophilic functional groups, volatile species did not react with the surface, and the hydrophobic dimethyl silicone layer did not form. The results show that the formation of a thin layer of dimethylsiloxane derivatives by chemisorption is a new mechanism for recovering the surface hydrophobicity of PDMS films.. |

As the decarboxylation of fatty acids to alkanes is an important transformation in the production of bio hydrofined diesel (BHD) and jet fuel, we herein report the development of a highly active and reusable Rh nanoparticle catalyst supported by a silicon nanowire array (SiNA-Rh) and its application in the decarboxylation of fatty acids to alkanes under mild conditions. More specifically, SiNA-Rh (500 mol ppm) selectively promoted the hydrogenative decarboxylation reaction at 200 °C under microwave irradiation (∼40 W) in a H2 atmosphere (10 bar) to afford the corresponding alkanes in high yields selectively. The only coproduct observed was carbon monoxide, an important and essential staple for the chemical industry. Importantly, carbon dioxide formation was not observed. Moreover, the aldehydes were efficiently converted to alkanes by SiNA-Rh, and this catalyst was reused 20 times without any loss in catalytic activity. Finally, to investigate the effects of microwave irradiation on the enhancement of this chemical transformation based on the Si nanorod structures present in the SiNA-Rh catalyst, the effect of the microwave electric field and magnetic field in the microwave to the reaction was experimentally investigated, and the spatial distribution of the electric field intensity around the surface of the Si nanostructure was simulated using the finite element method.. |

Sacran is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the cyanobacterium Aphanothece sacrum, while imogolite is a natural tubular aluminosilicate clay found in volcano ash. The hybrid film thickness increased linearly with the number of the bilayers, because of the interaction between the negatively charged surface of sacran and the positively charged surface of imogolite. UV-vis spectroscopy indicated that the LBL film exhibited good transparency. The surface morphology of the LBL film was smooth in the micrometer scale; many imogolite nanotubes were adsorbed onto the sacran layer, while no imogolite clusters were observed. Furthermore, the structure, stability, gas permeability, and mechanical properties of the LBL films were investigated.. |

This double-layered structure was subsequently transferred onto the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) microporous support and studied for CO2/N2 sepn. The effect of interfacial mol. arrangements between the selective and gutter layers on CO2 permeance and selectivity has been investigated. We have revealed that the gas permeance and selectivity do not follow the conventional theor. predictions for the multilayer membrane (resistance in series transport model); specifically, more selective CO2/N2 sepn. membranes were achieved with ultrathin selective layers. Detailed characterization of the chem. structure of the outermost membrane surface suggests that nanoscale blending of the ultrathin Pebax-1657 layer with O2 plasma-activated PDMS chains on the surface takes place. This nanoblending at the interface between the selective and gutter layers played a crit. role in enhancing the CO2/N2 selectivity. CO2 permeance in the developed thin-film composite membranes (TFCM) were between 1200 and 3500 gas permeance units (GPU) and the resp. CO2/N2 selectivities were between 72 and 23, providing the gas sepn. performance suitable for CO2 capture in postcombustion processes. This interpenetrating polymer interface enhanced the overall selectivity of the membrane significantly, exceeding the sepn. ability of the pristine Pebax-1657 polymer.. |

It is mech. strong, is an excellent hydrogen barrier and has reasonable proton cond. Here, sulfonation of cellulose nanofibers is performed to enhance the cond. (up to 2 x 10- 3 S cm- 1) without compromising the membrane integrity, and fuel cells are fabricated with 30μm-thick "paper" membranes. The hydrogen crossover current is two orders of magnitude lower than for Nafion fuel cells with equiv. thickness, but the power d. is rather low.

The addn. of lignin into cellulose membranes increased the sp. surface area (from 5 to 竏ｼ50 m2/g), however the fine porous geometry of the nanocellulose with characteristic pores below 10 nm in diam. remained similar for all membranes. The permeation of H2, CO2, N2, and O2 through the membranes was investigated and a characteristic Knudsen diffusion through the membranes was obsd. at a rate proportional to the inverse of their mol. sizes. Permeability values, however, varied significantly between samples contg. different lignins, ranging from several to thousands of barrers (10-10 cm3 (STP) cm cm-2 s-1 cmHg-1cm), and were related to the obsd. morphol. and lignin distribution inside the membranes. Addnl., the addn. of ~ 5% lignin resulted in a significant increase in tensile strength from 3 GPa to 竏ｼ6-7 GPa, but did not change thermal properties (glass transition or thermal stability). Overall, the combination of plant-derived lignin as a filler or binder in cellulose-starch composites with a sea-animal derived nanocellulose presents an interesting new approach for the fabrication of membranes from abundant bio-derived materials. Future studies should focus on the optimization of these types of membranes for the selective and fast transport of gases needed for a variety of industrial sepn. processes. [on SciFinder(R)]. |

Here we report a systematic study on the effect of DACO content on the thermal and gas adsorption properties of the hybrid ladder polymer. Using a PIM derived from 2,5-diamino-p-xylene, we prepd. hybrid ladder polymers with a DACO content ranging from 19% to 55% while having a similar mol. wt. The thermal stability of the hybrid ladder polymers, evaluated by thermogravimetric anal., is decreased with the increase in DACO content. Based on gas adsorption measurements, the increase in DACO content results in the decrease in the BET surface area but improves the gas adsorption selectivity for CO2 against N2, likely due to high basicity of the sec-amino group of DACO unit. This result demonstrates that the partial TB-to-DACO conversion of the TB-based PIM may provide a simple but useful strategy to design polymer materials that enable selective CO2 capture and/or sepn.

Gases Sci. Technol., DOI:10.1002/ghg.2099, 2021.06, Carbon capture and storage has been considered as a realistic approach to reducing atm. CO2 concns. However, the cost of capturing high-purity CO2 typically used for geol. storage (e.g., 98%) is high. Direct air capture (DAC), a technol. that exts. CO2 of relatively low-purity from the ambient atm., has been recently proposed as a means to achieve neg. CO2 emissions when the product is sequestered underground. Although the CO2 produced by DAC is of low-purity, the other gaseous components (mainly nitrogen and oxygen) are not hazardous materials like NOx and SOx that must be typically dealt with by conventional projects in coal-burning plants. Here, we evaluate geol. storage of the low-purity CO2 captured via advanced membrane-based DAC technol. The ubiquity of ambient air is important in reducing transport costs and ensuring social acceptance as the CO2 product can be both produced and stored at sites in remote areas, such as deserts and offshore platforms. We calcd. the d. of CO2-N2-O2 mixts. via mol. dynamics simulation and evaluated the cost of the low-purity CO2 storage. Our evaluation suggests that the storage of low-purity CO2 in geol. formations is environmentally acceptable and economically viable.. |

Direct CO2 capture from the air, so-called direct air capture (DAC), has become inevitable to reduce the concn. of CO2 in the atm. Current DAC technologies consider only sorbent-based systems. Recently, there were reports that show ultrahigh CO2 permeances in gas sepn. membranes and thus membrane sepn. could be a potential new technol. for DAC in addn. to sorbent-based CO2 capture. The simulation of chem. processes was well established and is commonly used for the development and performance assessment of industrial chem. processes. These simulations offer a credible assessment of the feasibility of membrane-based DAC (m-DAC). In this paper, we discuss the potential of m-DAC considering the state-of-the-art performance of org. polymer membranes. The multistage membrane sepn. process was employed in process simulation to est. the energy requirements for m-DAC. Based on the anal., we propose the target membrane sepn. performance required for m-DAC with competitive energy expenses. Finally, we discuss the direction of future membrane development for DAC.. |

Gas separation membranes have great potential for direct air capture (DAC), which captures CO2 directly from the atmosphere, as well as from large CO2 emission sources, due to their low energy consumption and small footprint. However, membrane–based DAC has never been considered because of its low CO2 permeance. Recently, there have been report of high CO2 permeance membranes which would be promising candidate for DAC process. In this review paper, the recent studies of membranes with high CO2 permeance are summarized and discuss with molecular design of membranes in addition to our recent efforts to improve CO2 selectivity of nanometer–thick freestanding membranes by chemical modification of the membrane surface.. |
