ABSTRACT

The generally encountered contradiction between large energy content and stability poses great difficulty in designing nitrogen-rich high-energy-density materials. Although N-N ylide bonds have been classified as the fourth type of homonuclear N-N bonds (besides >N-N<, -N[double bond, length as m-dash]N-, and N[triple bond, length as m-dash]N), accessible energetic molecules with N-N ylide bonds have rarely been explored. In this study, 225 molecules with six types of novel structures containing N-N ylide bonds were designed using density functional theory and CBS-QB3 methods. To guide future synthesis, the effects of substitution on the thermal stability, detonation velocity, and detonation pressure of the structures were evaluated under the premise that the N-N ylide skeleton remains stable. The calculations show that the bond dissociation energy values of the N-N ylide bonds of the designed 225 structures were in the range of 61.21-437.52 kJ mol-1, except for N-1NNH2. Many of the designed structures with N-N ylide bonds exhibit high detonation properties, which are superior to those of traditional energetic compounds. This study convincingly demonstrates the feasibility of the design strategy of introducing an N-N ylide bond to develop new types of energetic materials.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: Developing novel materials present a great challenge to improve the photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). In this paper, we designed a series of the donor-π bridge-acceptor-π bridge-donor (D-π-A-π-D) structure molecules. These molecules consist of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) moiety as core, 9-hexyl-carbazole moiety as terminal groups, and different planar electron-rich aromatic groups as π-bridges. The density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) computations showed that the frontier molecular orbital (FMO) energy levels, energy gaps, electron-driving forces (ΔEL-L), open-circuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF), reorganization energy (λ), exciton binding energy (Eb), and absorption spectra of the designed molecules can be effectively adjusted by the introduction of different π-bridges. The designed molecules have narrow energy gap and strong absorption spectra, which are beneficial for improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of organic solar cells. In addition, the designed molecules possess large ΔEL-L, large Voc, and FF values and low Eb when the typical fullerene derivatives are used as acceptors. The FMO energy levels of the designed molecules can provide match well with the typical fullerene acceptors PC61BM, bisPC61BM, and PC71BM. Our results suggest that the designed molecules are expected to be promising donor materials for OSCs. METHODS: All DFT and TD-DFT calculations were carried out using the Gaussian 09 code. The computational technique chosen was the hybrid functional B3LYP and the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The benzene and chloroform solvent effects have been considered using the polarized continuum model (PCM) at the TD-DFT level. The simulated absorption spectra of designed molecules were plotted by using the GaussSum 1.0 program.

ABSTRACT

Incorporating less expensive nonmetal phosphorus (P) into noble metal-based catalysts has become a developing strategy to enhance the catalytic performance of electrocatalysts for methanol electrooxidation reaction (MOR), attributing to the electronic and synergistic structure alteration mechanism. In the work, three-dimensional nitrogen-doped graphene anchoring ternary Pd-Ir-P nanoalloy catalyst (Pd7IrPx/NG) was prepared by co-reduction strategy. As a multi-electron system, elemental P adjusts the outer electron structure of Pd and diminishes the particle size of nanocomposites, which heightens the electrocatalytic activity effectively and accelerate MOR kinetics in alkaline medium. The study reveals that the electron effect and ligand effect induced by P atoms on the hydrophilic and electron-rich surface of Pd7Ir/NG and Pd7IrPx/NG samples can reduce the initial oxidation potential and peak potential of COads, showing significantly enhanced the anti-poisoning ability compared with commercial Pd/C as the benchmark. Meanwhile, the stability of Pd7IrPx/NG is significantly higher than that of commercial Pd/C. The facile synthetic approach provides an economic option and a new vision for the development of electrocatalysts in MOR.

ABSTRACT

A bis-Schiff base N,N'-ethylene-bis(3-bromosalicylaldimine) (H2L) was prepared from 3-bromosalicylaldehyde and ethane-1,2-diamine. With H2L as ligand, a new copper(II) complex [CuL] (1) and a new cobalt(III) complex [CoL(NCS)(DMF)] (2) were prepared and characterized by physico-chemical methods and single crystal X-ray analysis. X-ray analysis indicates that the Cu atom in complex 1 is in square planar coordination, and the Co atom in complex 2 is in octahedral coordination. The compounds were tested in vitro for their antibacterial activities on Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas fluorescens. Both complexes have effective activities on the bacteria.

ABSTRACT

Here, norfloxacin (NOR) molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) exhibiting improved adsorption and selectivity properties were prepared via simulation and experiment. NOR and methacrylic acid (MAA) were employed as the imprinting molecule and functional monomer, respectively. The imprinting ratio, as well as cross-linking agents of the NOR-MIPs, had been optimised via the LC-ωPBE/6-31G(d,p) method. The nature and mechanism of the interaction between MIPs and MAA, as well as the selectivity of the NOR-MAA stable complex (1:1), were also discussed. Based on the simulation results, the effects of the different imprinting ratios and cross-linking agents on the adsorption of NOR-MIPs were also investigated. Concurrently, the affinity, selectivity and stability of NOR-MIPs were analysed via dynamic, static and selective adsorption, as well as thermogravimetry. The calculated and experimental results demonstrated that the stable complexes comprising NOR and MAA were formed via hydrogen bonding. The complex comprising NOR and MAA in an interaction ratio of 1:6 exhibited the highest number of hydrogen bonds and the lowest binding energy. Trihydroxymethylpropyl trimethylacrylate was more appropriate for the synthesis of NOR-MIPs compared with the two other cross-linking agents. NOR-MIPs achieved the excellent selective adsorption of NOR in single and multiple adsorption systems. This design and synthesis strategy availed a new idea for the efficient preparation of s with specific adsorption performance.

ABSTRACT

Palladium (Pd)-based materials have been widely used as catalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Unfortunately, the catalytic activity was limited by structure, carbon monoxide intermediates (COads) tolerance and stability. It was currently difficult to be used in large-scale commercial production. Herein, to further improve their electrocatalytic activity, a facile oxidation method to achieve in-situ oxidation of palladium-iridium (PdIr) alloy on nitrogen-doped graphene (NGS) is used, which is named as Pd-Ir-O/NGS. The new catalyst exhibits remarkable MOR activity (1374.8 mA mg-1), COads tolerance (the onset oxidation potential reach 0.725 V) and stability (the current density retention rate after 500 cycles of cyclic voltammetry is 44.9%). As a catalyst for MOR, the Pd-Ir-O/NGS has more outstanding electrocatalytic performance compared with commercial Pd/C and other counterparts. The mechanism study shows that the excellent catalytic performance is attributed to (1) the synergistic electronic effect of Pd-Ir-O due to the introduction of Ir and O, (2) the insertion of O into PdIr alloy that kinetically accelerated the oxidation of poisoning methoxy intermediates and (3) the vital roles of unique three-dimensional (3D) structure of NGS with abundant nitrogen atoms. Our findings herald a new paradigm for the modification of palladium-based materials for MOR and provide an alternative design principle for novel 3D carbon-based material for various application.

ABSTRACT

Development of good support materials is widely adopted as a valid strategy to fabricate high performance electrocatalysts for the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR). In this study, the small diameter Ti3C2Tx MXene thin nanosheets inserted into three-dimensional nitrogen-doped grapheme (NG) was constructed via a facile hydrothermal method and employed as support materials for anchoring Pd nanocrystals (Pd/Ti3C2Tx@NG). The obtained-Pd/Ti3C2Tx@NG as EOR electrocatalyst in alkaline media outperforms the commercial Pd/C with better electrocatalytic activity, enhanced long-term stability and high CO tolerance. The Ti3C2Tx inserted into NG probably plays a key role for enhancing the properties of the synthesized-catalyst. Inserting Ti3C2Tx into NG allows the electrocatalysts to have high porosity, surface hydrophilicity, sufficient number of anchor sites for Pd nanocrystals and modifies its electronic properties, which can promote the electrocatalytic activity and durability. The enhanced EOR performance endows Pd/Ti3C2Tx@NG with great application potential in fuel cells as an anode catalyst. Furthermore, the prepared Ti3C2Tx@NG is also suitable in various desired applications, especially other oxidation reactions.

ABSTRACT

Advanced photocatalyst is a key for photocatalytic water purification in the environmental pollutant remediation. In this study, graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) modified by CuS and TiO2 ternary nanohybrid (CuS-TiO2-g-CN) with close interfacial contact among CuS, TiO2 and g-CN was fabricated through a facile and green method. Compared to the binary g-CN-based counterparts, the CuS-TiO2-g-CN possesses multiple photo-generated charge transfers owing to the synergistic action of CuS, TiO2 and g-CN. And hence the separation efficiency of photo-generated electron-hole pairs can be improved for the CuS-TiO2-g-CN. The optical and photoelectrochemical measurements prove that the CuS-TiO2-g-CN has narrower band gap energy and higher transient photocurrent density than those of g-CN and TiO2-g-CN. Therefore, the CuS-TiO2-g-CN shows notably higher photocatalytic activity and stability towards the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) than g-CN and TiO2-g-CN under visible-light irradiation. Moreover, a possible visible-light photocatalytic mechanism of CuS-TiO2-g-CN for degrading RhB was also proposed on the basis of the experimental results and literature reports.

ABSTRACT

Herein, a series of organic molecules were designed through locating different substituents on the compound (WD8-c-1) to develop their performances used as the sensitizers in the field of dye-sensitized solar cells. The geometry and relevant electronic properties of WD8-c-1 and its derivatives were simulated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. The absorption spectra were calculated using the TD-PBE0/6-31+G(d,p) method. These calculated results show that the type and position of the substituents strongly affected the distributions of frontier molecular orbitals and the energy gaps for the WD8-c-1-derived molecules. The reorganization energies results reveal that their hole charge transfer rates are higher than that of the representative hole transport material. Moreover, the mobility of the representative WD8-c-1 derivative also has been simulated. The starburst triphenylamine with suitable substituent has the more suitable FMO energy to match those of TiO2, broad absorption region, smaller reorganization energies, and high hole mobility.

ABSTRACT

Adjusting the surface structures and electronic structures of metal nanocrystals (NCs) by the metal-organic interface interaction is an emerging strategy to enhance their electrocatalytic behavior. In this work, the d-phenylalanine-functionalized graphene (DPHE-GS) anchoring Pd NCs (denoted as Pd/DPHE-GS) was fabricated via the diazo-reaction followed by a simple chemical reduction. Owing to the metal-organic interface interaction between Pd NCs and DPHE, the size, distribution and electronic structures of Pd NCs on the surface of DPHE-GS can be adjusted. Therefore, the Pd/DPHE-GS shows the highest electrocatalytic activity and the most robust long-term durability and stability towards methanol and ethanol oxidation reaction (MOR and EOR) compared to the commercial Pd/C and other counterparts. This work presents an effective interface engineering strategy to enhance electrocatalytic property.

ABSTRACT

A series of donor-acceptor (D-A) tricoordinated organoboron derivatives (1-10) have been systematically investigated for thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF)-based organic light-emitting diode (OLED) materials. The calculated results show that the designed molecules exhibit small singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔE ST) values. Density functional theory (DFT) analysis indicated that the designed molecules display an efficient separation between donor and acceptor fragments because of a small overlap between donor and acceptor fragments on HOMOs and LUMOs. Furthermore, the delayed fluorescence emission color can be tuned effectively by introduction of different polycyclic aromatic fragments in parent molecule 1. The calculated results show that molecules 2, 3, and 4 possess more significant Stokes shifts and red emission with small ΔE ST values. Nevertheless, other molecules exhibit green (1, 7, and 8), light green (6 and 10), and blue (5 and 9) emissions. Meanwhile, they are potential ambipolar charge transport materials except that 4 and 10 can serve as electron and hole transport materials only, respectively. Therefore, we proposed a rational way for the design of efficient TADF materials as well as charge transport materials for OLEDs simultaneously.

ABSTRACT

This work is supplying an in-depth investigation of the optical, electronic, and charge transfer properties for heteroatom effects on the starburst triphenylamine derivative, molecule WD8-c-1, which has been studied in our previous work. The geometry and relevant electronic properties of WD8-c-1 and its derivatives in ground state for photovoltaic applications were simulated by the B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) method. Their absorption spectra have been calculated at the TD-PBE0/6-31 + G (d,p) level. The results indicate that the oxygen and sulfur atom substituents affect the distributions of frontier molecular orbitals and energy gap of WD8-c-1 significantly. Moreover, the electron could transfer from excited sensitizer into the conduction band (CB) of TiO2. The heteroatom substituent affect the absorption spectra of WD8-c-1 significantly. The hole transfer rates of WD8-c-1 and its derivatives are higher than that of N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methlphenyl)-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine (TPD) and WD8-c-1-S owns the smallest hole reorganization energy (λh) value among the investigated molecules. The introducing of heteroatom affect the short-circuit current density and open-circuit photovoltage properties of WD8-c-1 and its derivatives significantly.

ABSTRACT

In recent years, with the development of molecular imprinting technology, the imprinting sites, nature of imprinting, selection of functional monomers, cross-linking agents, solvents, and the optimization of the imprinting ratio are all the hot spots of researchers. In this work, the theoretical prediction of the self-assembly system of formaldehyde (HCHO) molecularly imprinted polymer was carried out by the B3LYP/6-31 G(d,p) method. The geometric configuration and active sites of the stable complex of HCHO and methacrylic acid (MAA) were analyzed. The selection of the imprinting ratios, cross-linking agents, and solvents was discussed. The topological properties of electron density of HCHO-MAA complex were considered by using the topological analysis method of chemical bond electron density based on valence bond theory. This study cannot only reveal the relationship between the imprinting mechanism of molecularly imprinted polymers and the molecular structure and properties of molecularly imprinted polymers but also provide valuable reference for the design and preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers.

ABSTRACT

A series of D-π-A diketopyrrolopyrrole(DPP)-based small molecules were designed for organic light-emitting diode(OLEDs) and organic solar cell(OSCs) applications. Applying the PBE0/6-31G(d,p) method, the ground state geometry and relevant electronic properties were investigated. The first excited singlet state geometry and the absorption and fluorescent spectra were simulated at the TD-PBE0/6-31G(d,p) level. The calculated results revealed that the photophysical properties were affected through the introduction of different end groups. Furthermore, the electronic transitions corresponding to absorption and emission exhibited an intramolecular charge transfer feature. Our results suggest that the designed molecules acted not only as luminescent for OLEDs, but also as donor materials in OSCs. Moreover, they can also be used as potential electron transfer materials for OLEDs and OSCs.

ABSTRACT

Eight novel diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based A-D-A-D-A structure molecules were designed for organic solar cells (OSCs) applications. In these molecules, the electron-deficient DPP and dicyanovinyl groups were used as the acceptor groups and different planar electron-rich groups were employed as the donor π-bridges. Applying the B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) and TD-B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) methods, the optoelectronic and charge transport properties were investigated. It turned out that the different π-bridges can tune effectively the frontier molecular orbital energy levels, band gap, and absorption spectra. Furthermore, the different π-bridges also affect the charge transport properties of the designed molecules. Our results suggest that the investigated molecules can serve as donor materials. Additionally, some investigated molecules can also be used as hole and/or electron transport materials for OSCs. Graphical abstract A series of novel A-D-A-D-A molecules are investigated systematically. The optical and electronic properties can be tuned effectively by the π-bridges. All derivatives can be used as donor materials for OSCs. Some designed molecules can be used as hole and/or electron transport materials. The different π-bridges do not significantly affect the stability of the molecules.

ABSTRACT

A series of D-A novel star-shaped molecules with 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (TPTA) as core, diketopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole (DPP) derivatives as arms, and triphenylamine (TPA) derivatives as end groups have been systematically investigated for organic solar cells (OSCs) applications. The electronic, optical, and charge transport properties were studied using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approaches. The parameters such as energetic driving force ΔE L-L, adiabatic ionization potential AIP, and adiabatic electron affinity AEA were also calculated at the same level. The calculated results show that the introduction of different groups to the side of DPP backbones in the star-shaped molecules can tune the frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) energy of the designed molecules. The designed molecules can provide match well with those of typical acceptors PCBM ([6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester) and PC71BM ([6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester). Additionally, the absorption wavelengths of the designed molecules show bathochromic shifts compared with that of the original molecule, respectively. The introduction of different groups can extend the absorption spectrum toward longer wavelengths, which is beneficial to harvest more sunlight. The calculated reorganization energies suggest that the designed molecules are expected to be the promising candidates for ambipolar charge transport materials except molecule with benzo[c]isothiazole group can be used as hole and electron transport material. Moreover, the different substituent groups do not significantly affect the stability of the designed molecules.

ABSTRACT

A series of novel diketopyrrolopyrrole-pyrene-based molecules were designed for small molecule based organic solar cell (SMOSC) applications. Their electronic and charge transfer properties were investigated by applying the PBE0/6-31G(d,p) method. The absorption spectra were simulated using the TD-PBE0/6-31G(d,p) method. The results showed that the frontier molecular orbital (FMO) energy levels, reorganization energy, the energetic driving force, and absorption spectra can be tuned by the introduction of different aromatic heterocyclic groups to the side of diketopyrrolopyrrole fragments' backbones. Additionally, the designed molecules possess suitable FMOs to match those of typical acceptors PC61BM and PC71BM. Meanwhile, the designed molecules can act as good ambipolar charge transport materials in SMOSC applications. Meanwhile, the electron and hole reorganization energies of the designed molecules are smaller than those of the typical electron and hole transport materials, respectively. Moreover, the differences between electron and hole reorganization energies do not exceed 0.046 eV. Our results suggest that the designed molecules can act as promising candidates for donor and ambipolar charge transport materials in SMOSC applications.

ABSTRACT

Chloramphenicol was chosen as the imprinting molecule and the methacrylic acid was chosen as the functional monomer to prepare molecularly imprinted polymers. Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, and trimethylolpropane trimethylacrylate were used as the cross-linking agents, respectively. The interaction processes between chloramphenicol and methacrylic acid were simulated by using the ωB97XD/6-31G (d,p) method. The self-assembled configuration, bonding sites, binding number, binding energy, and interaction principle of stable complex formed by chloramphenicol and methacrylic acid with different molar ratios have been studied. The selectivity of the most stable complex formed from chloramphenicol and methacrylic acid was discussed with the thiamphenicol and florfenicol as the analogues of chloramphenicol. The results showed that chloramphenicol and methacrylic acid were interacted through the hydrogen bonds. When the molar ratio was 1:10 and pentaerythritol triacrylate as the cross-linking agent, the ordered complex formed by chloramphenicol and methacrylic acid has the largest amount of hydrogen bonds and the lowest binding energy. Scatchard analysis showed that the maximum apparent adsorption capacity was 173.3 mg/g (0.536 mol/g), and the selection factor of florfenicol was the largest. This study provides a reliable theoretical and experimental basis for the design, preparation, and characterization of chloramphenicol molecularly imprinted polymers.

ABSTRACT

With the aim to further improve the light-absorption efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs), we have designed a series of novel pyrrolopyrrole boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivatives by replacing the sulfur atom and introducing different fused aromatic heterocycle end-caps. The optical, electronic, and charge transporting properties of the designed molecules have been systematically investigated by applying density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methodologies. The calculated the frontier molecular orbital (FMO) energies and spectral properties showed that the designed molecules exhibit narrower band gaps and strong absorption in the red/near-infrared (NIR) region, which led to the higher light-absorbing efficiency. Furthermore, the calculated reorganization energies show that the designed molecules are expected to be promising candidates for hole and/or electron transport materials. The results reveal that the designed molecules can serve as high-efficiency red/NIR-active donor materials as well as hole and/or electron transport materials in OSC applications.

ABSTRACT

The density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methodologies have been applied to explore on a series of star-shaped π-conjugated organoboron systems for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) materials. The compounds under investigation consist of benzene as π-bridge and different core units and triarylboron end groups. Their geometry structures, frontier molecular orbital (FMO) energies, absorption and fluorescence spectra, and charge transport properties have been investigated systematically. It turned out that the FMO energy levels, the band gaps, and reorganization energies optical are affected by the introduction of different core units and triarylboron end groups. The results suggest that the designed compounds are expected to be promising candidates for luminescent materials. Furthermore, they can also serve as hole and/or electron transport materials for OLEDs.
