We reported a new monofunctionalized pillar[5]arene bearing imidazolium moiety that formed stable [1]pseudorotaxane even at high concentration (100 mmol/L) in chloroform. The self-assembly was detailed investigated by multiple methods, including varying concentration H-1 NMR, 2D COSY NMR, 2D NOESY NMR, viscosity measurements, 2D DOSY NMR, and HR-ESI-MS analysis. [1]Rotaxane was obtained efficiently through photo thiol-ene reaction which further confirmed the formation of [1]pseudorotaxane.

Fe3+-enhanced zero valent iron/peroxymonosulfate (ZVI/PMS) process for the transformation of iopamidol during coagulation and reduction of iodinated disinfection by-products

Yuanxiang Mao, Yifei Wu, Xiaoli Lu, Caiping Sun, Chenglin Li, Yuzhe Chen, Lei Jiang, Qiushi Shen, Qian Zhang, Caocong Liu, Jialiang Liang, Huiyu Dong, Lan Huang, Fangying Ji

Summary: This study proposes a combination of zero-valent iron (ZVI) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the removal of organic precursors of highly toxic iodinated disinfection by-products (I-DBPs) during the coagulation process. The combination effectively decomposes the organic precursor iopamidol (IPM) through the formation of hydroxyl and sulfate radicals. It was found that the presence of common cations further enhances the removal of IPM, while the anions in conventional coagulants have a weak effect. This process also reduces the formation of I-DBPs during disinfection, especially when natural organic matter (NOM) is present.

Aromatic Amides: A Smart Backbone toward Isolated Ultralong Bright Blue-Phosphorescence in Confined Polymeric Films

Ke Zhang, Ling-Ya Peng, Xin-Xin Liu, Xin Xu, Wei-Hai Fang, Ganglong Cui, Yu-Zhe Chen, Chen-Ho Tung, Li-Zhu Wu

Summary: In this study, we present an aromatic amide skeleton that can manipulate triplet excited states to achieve bright and long-lived blue phosphorescence. The aromatic amides promote strong spin-orbit coupling and enable multiple channels for emitting states. By forming robust hydrogen bonding with polyvinyl alcohol, non-radiative relaxations are suppressed, resulting in high quantum yields of phosphorescence in confined films. The blue afterglow of the films can be used in various applications such as information display and anti-counterfeiting. The smart aromatic amide skeleton provides a potential molecular design prototype for controlling triplet excited states and achieving ultralong phosphorescence with different colors.

Periodic pH regulation controls the phosphate uptake-release behavior and structural evolution of layered double hydroxides

Qingxiang Guo, Chengbo Yin, Yuzhe Chen, Zhuoyao Fang, Hong Xiao, Jinsong He, Liping Huang, Ganxue Wu, Zhenxing Zeng, Fei Shen, Shihuai Deng, Fangying Ji, Dexin Fang

Summary: Layered double hydroxides (LDH) can effectively adsorb and remove phosphate from wastewater. This study proposes a sustainable desorption strategy by controlling the phosphate uptake and release behavior of LDH through periodic pH regulation. Results show that LDH is robust against multiple rounds of pH shock, but extreme pH conditions can lead to metal ion loss from LDH laminates, suggesting that regulation must be done within a mild pH range.

Throughput optimization for backscatter-and-NOMA-enabled wireless powered cognitive radio network

Yuzhe Chen, Yanjun Li, Meihui Gao, Xianzhong Tian, Kaikai Chi

Summary: In a wireless powered cognitive radio network, secondary transmitters (STs) perform energy harvesting when the channel is busy and active transmission using harvested energy when the channel is idle. To improve network throughput, time-division-multiple-access-based backscatter communication is enabled when the channel is busy, and non-orthogonal-multiple-access-based active transmission is used when the channel is idle. The problem of maximizing the sum-throughput of STs is formulated as a Markov decision process, with consideration of limited battery capacity and time-varying channels. Q-learning and deep Q-learning algorithms are proposed to solve the problem and achieve online policies. Simulation results show that the proposed deep Q-learning algorithm efficiently handles dynamic environments and significantly improves average throughput compared to other methods.

Summary: Compared with silicon-based inductors, the inductors with through glass via (TGV) technology have significantly improved in quality (Q) factor. On the basis of TGV technology, a new type of 3-D embedded inductor is designed for high inductance density applications. A new preparation process is proposed to reduce the diameter of glass porous, which, when fully metallized, achieves larger inductance density. The high-density, small-porous inductor array reaches an inductance density of 67.9 nH/mm(2), three times higher than previous glass inductance density, with a Q factor of 49 and a self-resonance frequency (SRF) of 5.6 GHz.
