Abstract
A facile cost-effective green synthesis approach has been used to synthesize carbon-dot (CDs) from the Kernel part of theAzadirachta Indicaseeds and investigated their fluorescent and metal ions sensing capability and also used for the delivery of drugs. Metallic ions such as Ca2+, K+, Na+, Fe3+,and Zn2+which are biologically important for many reactions and are selectively detected through the novel CDs. The resultant dot size of CDs (∼4 nm) is useful to eliminate the 'Achilles heel' problems, which is associated with the Zn2+in the body and its detection is a very challenging task. It is found that the sensitivity of CDs for the detection of Zn2+can be regulated by using different solvents. These CDs can also be used as a sensing probe for the selective detection of Fe3+at a very low concentration of solution (∼5 μM). The synthesis method of CDs reported here is cost-effective, very fast and it is highly selective towards Fe3+and Zn2+. Due to the fast response capability of these CDs, logic gate operation is achieved and it provides a new understanding to construct potential next-generation molecular devices for the detection of different biomolecules with high selectivity. Additionally, these CDs are biocompatible against normal healthy cells, capable of loading small biomolecules and drugs due to their porous nature, and exhibited potential impact for breast cancer therapy. It is observed that a significant synergic therapeutic effect of CDs loaded with doxorubicin against breast cancer cells is very promising. Thus, the CDs reported herein in this work have been synthesized through a green synthesis approach and can be used as a molecular probe for the detection of metal ions as well as for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Batteries dissolving active materials in liquids possess safety and size advantages compared to solid-based batteries, yet the intrinsic liquid properties lead to material cross-over induced self-discharge both during cycling and idle when the electrolytes are in contact, thus highly efficient and cost-effective solutions to minimize cross-over are in high demand. An ultra-low self-discharge aqueous|organic membraneless battery using dichloromethane (CH2 Cl2 ) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) added to a zinc bromide (ZnBr2 ) solution as the electrolyte is demonstrated. The polybromide is confined in the organic phase, and bromine (Br2 ) diffusion-induced self-discharge is minimized. At 90% state of charge (SOC), the membraneless ZnBr2 |TBABr (Z|T) battery shows an open circuit voltage (OCV) drop of only 42 mV after 120 days, 152 times longer than the ZnBr2 battery, and superior to 102 previous reports from all types of liquid active material batteries. The 120-day capacity retention of 95.5% is higher than commercial zinc-nickel (Zn-Ni) batteries and vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB, electrolytes stored separately) and close to lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Z|T achieves >500 cycles (2670 h, 0.5 m electrolyte, 250 folds of membraneless ZnBr2 battery) with ≈100% Coulombic efficiency (CE). The simple and cost-effective design of Z|T provides a conceptual inspiration to regulate material cross-over in liquid-based batteries to realize extended operation.

Abstract
The long-term durability of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) depends on the stability and performance of the membrane separator. We have architected a hybrid membrane by uniform dispersion of MIL-101(Cr) (Cr-MOF) in a partially fluorinated polymer grafted with sulfonic acid groups (PHP@AMPSCr-MOF(1.0)). The single cell VRFB performance of the PHP@AMPSCr-MOF(1.0) membrane was studied in comparison with the Cr-MOF incorporated Nafion membrane (NafionCr-MOF(1.0)) and showed an excellent result with 97.5% Coulombic efficiency (CE) at 150 mA/cm2 without any significant deterioration in the charge-discharge process for 1500 cycles (over 650 h). Meanwhile, the CE value of the NafionCr-MOF membrane (94.5%) deteriorated after 800 cycles (about 360 h) under similar conditions. The high VRFB performance of the PHP@AMPSCr-MOF(1.0) membrane has been attributed to the synergized properties and good interactions between Cr-MOF and partially fluorinated polymer matrix responsible for the creation of hydrophilic proton-conducting channels to achieve high selectivity. Furthermore, the cost-effective polymer and thus membranes may open new windows for practical applications in other energy devices such as fuel cells, electrolysis, and water treatment.

Abstract
CO is a significant product of electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) which can be mixed with H2 to synthesize numerous hydrocarbons. Membranes, as separators, can significantly influence the performance of ECR. Herein, a series of quaternized polybenzimidazole (QAPBI) anion exchange membranes with different quaternization degrees are prepared for application in ECR. Among all QAPBI membranes, the QAPBI-2 membrane exhibits optimized physico-chemical properties. In addition, the QAPBI-2 membrane shows higher a Faraday efficiency and CO partial current density compared with commercial Nafion 117 and FAA-3-PK-130 membranes, at -1.5 V (vs. RHE) in an H-type cell. Additionally, the QAPBI-2 membrane also has a higher Faraday efficiency and CO partial current density compared with Nafion 117 and FAA-3-PK-130 membranes, at -3.0 V in a membrane electrode assembly reactor. It is worth noting that the QAPBI-2 membrane also has excellent ECR stability, over 320 h in an H-type cell. This work illustrates a promising pathway to obtaining cost-effective membranes through a molecular structure regulation strategy for ECR application.

Abstract
A comb-shape amphiphilic cationic side chain is proposed to well-balance the water sorption in anion exchange membranes (AEMs), in which the cationic group is in between of an ether-containing hydrophilic spacer and an alkyl hydrophobic spacer. By fully grafting the amphiphilic side chains onto polybenzimidazole (PBI), comb-shape amphiphilic microphase networks are well-developed in the AEMs, in which the alkyl hydrophobic network greatly restricts water swelling and the ether-containing hydrophilic network keeps the hydration of the cationic groups and enlarges the ion conductive channel. The as-prepared membranes achieve a high conductivity of about 91.2 mS cm-1, an extremely low swelling ratio of about 8.1% at 80 °C, and good mechanical properties at a hydrated state (tensile strength and elongation at a break of about 14.6 MPa and 77.5%, respectively). Benefits from the balanced water sorption in AEMs, the H2/O2 fuel cell with a 10 μm ultrathin membrane could withstand 80 °C and 0.1 MPa back pressure and achieve a high open circuit voltage of about 1.0 V and a high peak power density of about 631.5 mW cm-2. This work provides a new insight into the design of high-performance AEM.

Abstract
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are among the most promising grid-scale energy storage technologies. However, the development of RFBs with high round-trip efficiency, high rate capability, and long cycle life for practical applications is highly restricted by the lack of appropriate ion-conducting membranes. Promising RFB membranes should separate positive and negative species completely and conduct balancing ions smoothly. Specific systems must meet additional requirements, such as high chemical stability in corrosive electrolytes, good resistance to organic solvents in nonaqueous systems, and excellent mechanical strength and flexibility. These rigorous requirements put high demands on the membrane design, essentially the chemistry and microstructure associated with ion transport channels. In this Review, we summarize the design rationale of recently reported RFB membranes at the molecular level, with an emphasis on new chemistry, novel microstructures, and innovative fabrication strategies. Future challenges and potential research opportunities within this field are also discussed.

Abstract
In this work, we propose a sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) composite proton-conductive membrane based on a 3-(1-hydro-imidazolium-3-yl)-propane-1-sulfonate (Him-pS) additive to break through the trade-off between conductivity and selectivity of a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). Specifically, Him-pS enables an oriented distribution of the SPEEK matrix to construct highly conductive proton nanochannels throughout the membrane arising from the noncovalent interaction. Moreover, the "acid-base pair" effect from an imidazolium group and a sulfonic group further facilitates the proton transport through the nanochannels. Meanwhile, the structure of the acid-base pair is further confirmed based on density functional theory calculations. Material and electrochemical characterizations indicate that the nanochannels with a size of 16.5 nm are vertically distributed across the membrane, which not only accelerate proton conductivity (31.54 mS cm-1) but also enhance the vanadium-ion selectivity (39.9 × 103 S min cm-3). Benefiting from such oriented proton-conductive nanochannels in the membrane, the cell delivers an excellent Coulombic efficiency (CE, ≈ 98.8%) and energy efficiency (EE, ≈ 78.5%) at 300 mA cm-2. More significantly, the cell maintains a stable energy efficiency over 600 charge-discharge cycles with only a 5.18% decay. Accordingly, this work provides a promising fabrication strategy for a high-performance membrane of VRFB.

Abstract
To solve the stability issue of cost-effective nonfluorinated membranes, an ether-free poly(arylene piperidinium) (PBPip)-based membrane is first applied in redox flow batteries (RFBs). For improved efficiencies of RFB, amphoteric side chains are introduced onto the PBPip. Without an ether bond in the polymer backbone, the membrane shows a good stability in a strong oxidation environment. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra exhibit no obvious changes over 30 days of oxidation test. Different from traditional blended amphoteric membranes, the amphoteric side chain allows both cation- and anion-exchange capacities to increase with grafting degree, which leads to a very high total ion-exchange capacity (IEC) (4.19 mmol g-1). Outstanding ion-conduction ability (area resistance: 0.22 Ω cm2) comparable to Nafion 212 (0.24 Ω cm2) is consequently achieved. Ionic cross-linking structure between cationic and anionic groups results in a low swelling rate (13.9%). Combined with the repelling effect of positively charged piperidinium, a low VO2+ permeability (1.31 × 10-8 cm2 s-1) is accomplished. On the basis of these good properties, the membrane exhibits excellent vanadium battery performances, especially at high current densities. The VE and EE both exceed 80% even at 200 mA cm-2. The battery performances have no obvious reductions after 500 cycles. These results indicate that this work provides a new orientation to design the membrane for RFB.

Abstract
A series of poly(vinylidene difluoride)-based amphoteric ion exchange membranes (AIEMs) were prepared by preirradiation-induced graft copolymerization of styrene and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate in an aqueous emulsion media followed by solution casting, sulfonation, and protonation. The effects of absorbed dose and comonomer concentration on grafting yield (GY) were investigated. The highest GY of 44.5% at a low comonomer concentration of 0.9 M could be achieved. FTIR, TGA, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the successful grafting and sulfonation of the as-prepared AIEMs. Properties of the AIEMs such as water uptake, ion exchange capacity (IEC), ionic conductivity, and crossover behavior of VO2+ ions prepared by this novel technique were systematically investigated and compared with those of the commercial Nafion 115 membrane. It was found that at a GY of 28.4%, the AIEMs showed higher IEC and conductivity, lower permeability of VO2+ ions, and a longer time to maintain open circuit voltage than Nafion 115, which was attributed to their high GY and elaborate amphoteric structure. Consequently, this work has paved the way for the development of green and low-cost AIEMs with good performance for vanadium redox flow battery applications.

Abstract
The understanding of the relationship between the chemical structure and the hydrophilic structure is crucial for the designing of high-performance PEMs. Comparative studies in typical Nafion and sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) were performed using a combined experimental and theoretical method. SPEEK showed suppressed fuel crossover and good mechanical property but low water uptake, weak phase separation, and inadequate proton conductivity. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation approaches were employed to get a molecular-level understanding of the structure-property relationship of SPEEK and Nafion membranes. In SPEEK membranes, the local aggregation of hydrophilic clusters is worse, and much stronger electrostatic interaction between Os-Hh was verified, resulting in less delocalized free H3O+ and much lower DH3O+. In addition, the probability of H2O-H3O+ association varied with water content. Particularly, SPEEK exhibited much lower H9O4+ probability at various relative water contents, leading to lower structural diffusivity than Nafion. Eventually, SPEEK possessed low vehicular and structural diffusivities, which resulted in a low proton conductivity. The results indicated that the structure of hydrated hydronium complexes would deform to adapt the confining hydrophilic channels. The confinement effect on diffusion of H2O and H3O+ is influenced by the water content and the hydrophilic morphologies. This study provided a new insight into the exploration of high-performance membranes in fuel cell.

Abstract
A novel amphoteric membrane was designed by blending triple tertiary amine-grafted poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO-TTA) with sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) for vanadium redox flow batteries. An "acid-base pair" effect is formed by the combination of the tertiary amine group and sulfonic group, and extra nonbonding amine groups could be protonated. Both of them constitute a hydrogen bond network, which facilitates proton conduction and also hinders vanadium permeability because of the lowered swelling ratio and Donnan effect. All these contribute to improve the ion selectivity of the membrane while maintaining ionic conductivity. Compared with other amphoteric and SPEEK-based membranes, the membrane exhibits an excellent performance. The amphoteric membrane containing 15% PPO-TTA exhibits an ultralow vanadium permeability of 3.4 × 10-9 cm2 s-1 and a low area resistance of 0.39 Ω cm-2. Consequently, the cell assembled with this membrane shows excellent performances far superior to SPEEK and Nafion 212. The Coulombic efficiency and energy efficiency of the cell are 94.3-98.3 and 90.3-77.1% at 40-200 mA cm-2, respectively, and have no significant reductions after 200 cycles. This performance is at a high level among the amphoteric and SPEEK-based membranes reported in recent years. The cell's open circuit voltage is maintained for up to 165 h. In addition, the membrane's chemical stability is improved by the effective barrier to the vanadium ion.

Abstract
Novel poly(phthalazinone ether ketone)-based amphoteric ion exchange membranes with improved ion selectivity, stability and water transport resistance were prepared for vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) applications. The preparation method ensured the absence of electrostatic interaction. A small amount of sulfonated poly(phthalazinone ether ketone) (SPPEK) with different ion exchange capacity (IEC) values was mixed with brominated poly(phthalazinone ether ketone) (BPPEK) to prepare base membranes with the solution casting method, and they were aminated in trimethylamine to obtain the resulting membranes (Q/S-x, x represents the IEC value of SPPEK). Compared with the AEM counterpart (QBPPEK) prepared from the amination of the BPPEK membrane, Q/S-1.37 showed lower swelling ratio and area resistance (R). The R value of Q/S-1.37 (0.58 Ω cm2) was close to that of Nafion115. The VO2+ and V3+ permeability values of Q/S-x were 96.7–97.6% and 98.5–99.2% less than those of Nafion115, respectively, demonstrating the excellent ion selectivity of Q/S-x. Compared with Nafion115 and QBPPEK, Q/S-1.37 displayed 90.0% and 92.1% decrease in the static water transport volume and 93.2% and 66.7% decrease in the cycling transport rate, respectively, revealing good water transport resistance. Compared with Nafion115, Q/S-1.37 exhibited an increase of 1.0–5.7% in the coulombic efficiency (CE) and an increase of 2.5–8.7% in the energy efficiency (EE) at 20–200 mA cm−2. Q/S-x showed better chemical stability in VO2+ solutions than QBPPEK. VRB with Q/S-1.37 could be steadily operated for 400 h without sudden capacity and efficiency drop, while VRB with QBPPEK could hold for only around 250 h. Q/S-1.37 retained higher CE, EE and capacity retention than Nafion115, displaying good long-term stability. Thus, the Q/S-x are promising for use in commercial VRBs. Novel AIEMs were prepared through successive blending and amination processes, and they exhibited good ion selectivity, stability and water transport resistance.![]()
