PBnDT-FTAZ, a "weak donor-strong acceptor" polymer that combines benzodithiophene(BnDT) and fluorinated benzotriazole(FTAZ), has received significant amount of attention because it is a peculiar material with many outstanding features that need to be further explained. For example, with a medium band gap of 2.0 V, PBnDT-FTAZ can still generate over 7% power conversion efficiency with a noticeably high fill factor over 70% in its BHJ cells with a relatively thick film(200 – 300 nm). In this talk, I will discuss our ongoing efforts to further understand this interesting polymer. First, we discovered that all these interesting properties shown by PBnDT-FTAZ can only be obtained with polymers of a quite narrow range of molecular weight. Second, molecular engineering of PBnDT-FTAZ by substituting alkylthiol and selenophene in PBnDT-FTAZ give mixed results: Voc seems fixed around 0.8 V;however, Jsc can be further increased.

BaTiO 3 -based MLCC materials were limited for high temperature applications (temperature range up to 200°C), due to their low Curie temperatures. The addition of Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 (NBT) component in BaTiO 3 (BT) based ceramics was found to increase the Curie temperature, without sacrificing the dielectric constant. The Curie temperature was reported to increase from 125°C to 156°C with addition up to 10mol%, making it possible to satisfy the X8R or X9R criterions. In addition, the small amount of Nb 2 O 5 dopant in the system leads to a diffused dielectric maxima and improved temperature stability. The NBT-BT with 2wt% Nb 2 O 5 addition was found to exhibit a core-shell structure, while maintaining the dielectric constant at about 2500. To analyze the electrical microstructure variation, the obtained impedance data was fitted by a 4RC equivalent circuit, corresponding to the core, shell, grain boundary, and ceramic/electrode interface regions. All the electrical properties, including the capacitance, activation energy, and conductivity could be well explained by using this equivalent circuit.

We present a theoretical study of the structural, electronic, and transport properties of bulk Bi2Te3 within density functional theory taking into account the van der Waals interactions (vdW) and the quasiparticle self-energy corrections. It is found that the optB86b-vdW functional can well reproduce the experimental lattice constants and interlayer distances for Bi2Te3. Based on the fully optimized structure, the band structure of Bi2Te3 is obtained from first-principles calculations with the GW approximation and the Wannier function interpolation method. The global band extrema are found to be off the high-symmetry lines, and the real energy band calculated is in good agreement with that measured experimentally. In combination with the Boltzmann theory, the GW calculations also give accurate prediction of the transport properties, and the calculated thermoelectric coefficients of Bi2Te3 almost coincide with the experimental data.

Microcellular foams have a widely applications in many industries due to their superior properties. In this paper, the polymethymethacrylate (PMMA)/graphene oxide (GO) microcellular foams were prepared by supercritical carbon dioxide as a friendly foaming agent. The effect of graphene oxide amount on cellular structure and mechanical strength of foams had been investigated. Microstructure characterization bases on scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The cell size and cell density were calculated via image analysis. It was found that the average foam cell size was decreased from 20.1 μm to 2.2 μm and the cell density was increased from 2.8×108 to 3.3×1010 when 1.5wt.% GO sheets were added into PMMA matrix. In addition, the compression strength of polymeric foams was increased from 13 MPa to 39 MPa.

A modified polymer-network gel route has been developed to prepare a multilayer core-shell structure of BaTiO 3 -based dielectric ceramics, which greatly improved the efficiency of gelation process. The core particles are BaTiO 3 , while 0.7 BaTiO 3 -0.3Bi(Zn 1/2 Ti 1/2 )O 3 (0.7 BT-0.3BZT) and Nb oxides were coated in order as the shell material. The influences of core-shell structure and ratios on the dielectric properties were studied. The samples of coated BaTiO 3 were found to possess optimized temperature stability of dielectric behavior in the temperature range of -55 to 200°C (ΔC/C≤ ± 15%), the dielectric constant at room temperature could reach 1190, with a low dielectric loss at about 1.3%.

Polyoxometalates (POMs) are useful catalysts in both redox and acid catalysis reactions since its catalytic features can be controlled at a molecular level. We investigated POM (POM = H3PW12040) on tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) via hydrolysis of tantalum pentachloride (TaCl5) in the presence of POM using the sol-gel method for acid catalytic reaction. All obtained amorphous materials have been characterized by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, Raman scattering spectroscopy, 31P magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis, in order to confirm the structure integrity of the Keggin unit in as-prepared composites and investigate the morphology and surface textural property of the composites. Catalytic activity of the catalysts has been evaluated for esterification of acetic acid with ethanol as a model reaction with different catalytic reaction parameters such as POM loading, reaction time, catalyst dose, molar ratio of the reactants, etc. The conversion of ethanol reached 87.4 % and the turnover frequency (TOF) was 2.9x ***, it is easy to separate and recover POM/Ta205 from the reaction system.
