Ultralow-temperature-driven water-based sorption refrigeration enabled by low-cost zeolite-like porous aluminophosphate.

ABSTRACT: Thermally driven water-based sorption refrigeration is considered a promising strategy to realize near-zero-carbon cooling applications by addressing the urgent global climate challenge caused by conventional chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants. However, developing cost-effective and high-performance water-sorption porous materials driven by low-temperature thermal energy is still a significant challenge. Here, we propose a zeolite-like aluminophosphate with SFO topology (EMM-8) for water-sorption-driven refrigeration. The EMM-8 is characterized by 12-membered ring channels with large accessible pore volume and exhibits high water uptake of 0.28 g·g^-1 at P/P₀ = 0.2, low-temperature regeneration of 65 °C, fast adsorption kinetics, remarkable hydrothermal stability, and scalable fabrication. Importantly, the water-sorption-based chiller with EMM-8 shows the potential of achieving a record coefficient of performance (COP) of 0.85 at an ultralow-driven temperature of 63 °C. The working performance makes EMM-8 a practical alternative to realize high-efficient ultra-low-temperature-driven refrigeration.

Dataset of ultralow temperature refrigeration for COVID 19 vaccine distribution solution.

Project description:Most COVID-19 vaccines require temperature control for transportation and storage. Two types of vaccine have been developed by manufacturers (Pfizer and Moderna). Both vaccines are based on mRNA and lipid nanoparticles requiring low temperature storage. The Pfizer vaccine requires ultra-low temperature storage (-80 °C to -60 °C), while the Moderna vaccine requires -30 °C storage. However, the last stage of distribution is quite challenging, especially for rural or suburban areas, where local towns, pharmacy chains and hospitals may not have the infrastructure required to store the vaccine at the required temperature. In addition, there is limited data available to address ancillary challenges of the distribution framework for both transportation and storage stages, including safety concerns due to human exposure to large amounts of CO2 from dry-ice sublimation, issues due to the pressure increase caused by dry-ice sublimation, and the potential issue caused by non-uniform cryogenic temperatures. As such, there is a need for test dataset to assist the development of a quick, effective, secure, and safe solution to mitigate the challenges faced by vaccine distribution logistics.

Tunable Low-Pressure Water Adsorption in Stable Multivariate Metal-Organic Frameworks for Boosting Water-Based Ultralow-Temperature-Driven Refrigeration.

Project description:The green water-based adsorption refrigeration is considered as a promising strategy to realize near-zero-carbon cooling applications. Although many metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed as water adsorbents, their cooling performance are commonly limited by the insufficient water uptakes below P/P0 = 0.2. Herein, the development of multivariate MOFs (MTV-MOFs) is reported to highly modulate and boost the low-pressure water uptake for improving coefficient of performance (COP) for refrigeration. Through ligand exchange in the pristine MIL-125-NH2 , a series of MTV-MOFs with bare nitrogen sites are designed and synthesized. The resulting MIL-125-NH2 /MD-5% exhibits the significantly improved water uptake of 0.39 g g-1 at 298 K and P/P0 = 0.2, which is three times higher than MIL-125-NH2 (0.12 g g-1 ) and comparable to some benchmark materials including KMF-1 (0.4 g g-1 ) and MIP-200 (0.36 g g-1 ). Combined with its low-temperature regeneration, fast sorption kinetics and high stability, MIL-125-NH2 /MD-5% achieves one of the highest COP values (0.8) and working capacities (0.24 g g-1 ) for refrig-2 under an ultralow-driven temperature of 65 °C, which are higher than some best-performing MOFs such as MIP-200 (0.74 and 0.11 g g-1 ) and KMF-2 (0.62 and 0.16 g g-1 ), making it among the best adsorbents for efficient ultralow-temperature-driven refrigeration.

SYSU-6, A New 2-D Aluminophosphate Zeolite Layer Precursor.

Project description:Two-dimensional aluminophosphate is an important precursor of phosphate-based zeolites; a new Sun Yat-sen University No. 6 (SYSU-6) with |Hada|2[Al2(HPO4)(PO4)2] has been synthesized in the hydrothermal synthesis with organic structure-directing agent (OSDA) of N,N,3,5-tetramethyladamantan-1-amine. In this paper, SYSU-6 is characterized by single-crystal/powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy, infrared and UV Raman spectroscopy, solid-state 27Al, 31P and 13C magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra, and elemental analysis. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure indicates that SYSU-6 crystallized in the space group P21/n, with a = 8.4119(3), b = 36.9876(12), c = 12.5674(3), ? = 90°, ? = 108.6770(10)°, ? = 90°, V = 3704.3(2) Å3, Z = 4, R = 5.12%, for 8515 observed data (I > 2?(I)). The structure has a new 4,12-ring layer framework topology linked by alternating AlO4 and PO4 tetrahedra. The organic molecules reside between the layers and are hydrogen-bonded to the inorganic framework. The new type of layer provides a greater opportunity to construct zeolite with novel topology.

A zeolite-like aluminophosphate membrane with molecular-sieving property for water desalination.

Project description:Membrane desalination has been proposed as a promising strategy to address the worldwide challenge of water scarcity. The development of membrane desalination is impeded by the limited availability of membrane materials, thus, selective membranes with high water fluxes are in high demand. Therefore, the synthesis of a zeolite-like aluminophosphate membrane for water desalination is reported herein. An AlPO4-18 membrane without visible cracks was prepared on stainless steel nets via a seeded approach. The specific adsorption and diffusion properties of the AlPO4-18 membrane toward water were simultaneously investigated by vapor adsorption measurements and molecular simulation. A large adsorption capacity indicates the excellent water affinity of the AlPO4-18 membrane, and water gathering around other water molecules suggests stronger water-water interactions than framework-water interactions. Meanwhile, water molecules transport rapidly through the pores, assisted by a built-in pathway and directed diffusion. The as-synthesized membranes are further evaluated for water desalination. The desalination tests of seawater containing both single and multi-component ions demonstrate that the AlPO4-18 membrane is very selective for water transport, evidenced by very high rejection degrees for cations (>99%). Moreover, the AlPO4-18 membrane exhibits unprecedented high water fluxes (2.14 kg m-2 h-1 in average). The superior performances of good selectivity, high water permeability and high stability ensure the potential application of supported aluminophosphate membranes in desalination.

Zeolite Nanoparticles for Selective Sorption of Plasma Proteins.

Project description:The affinity of zeolite nanoparticles (diameter of 8-12?nm) possessing high surface area and high pore volume towards human plasma proteins has been investigated. The protein composition (corona) of zeolite nanoparticles has been shown to be more dependent on the plasma protein concentrations and the type of zeolites than zeolite nanoparticles concentration. The number of proteins present in the corona of zeolite nanoparticles at 100% plasma (in vivo state) is less than with 10% plasma exposure. This could be due to a competition between the proteins to occupy the corona of the zeolite nanoparticles. Moreover, a high selective adsorption for apolipoprotein C-III (APOC-III) and fibrinogen on the zeolite nanoparticles at high plasma concentration (100%) was observed. While the zeolite nanoparticles exposed to low plasma concentration (10%) exhibited a high selective adsorption for immunoglobulin gamma (i.e. IGHG1, IGHG2 and IGHG4) proteins. The zeolite nanoparticles can potentially be used for selectively capture of APOC-III in order to reduce the activation of lipoprotein lipase inhibition during hypertriglyceridemia treatment. The zeolite nanoparticles can be adapted to hemophilic patients (hemophilia A (F-VIII deficient) and hemophilia B (F-IX deficient)) with a risk of bleeding, and thus might be potentially used in combination with the existing therapy.

Nanocluster-Based Ultralow-Temperature Driven Oxide Gate Dielectrics for High-Performance Organic Electronic Devices.

Project description:The development of novel dielectric materials with reliable dielectric properties and low-temperature processibility is crucial to manufacturing flexible and high-performance organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) for next-generation roll-to-roll organic electronics. Here, we investigate the solution-based fabrication of high-k aluminum oxide (Al2O3) thin films for high-performance OTFTs. Nanocluster-based Al2O3 films fabricated by highly energetic photochemical activation, which allows low-temperature processing, are compared to the conventional nitrate-based Al2O3 films. A wide array of spectroscopic and surface analyses show that ultralow-temperature photochemical activation (<60 °C) induces the decomposition of chemical impurities and causes the densification of the metal-oxide film, resulting in a highly dense high-k Al2O3 dielectric layer from Al-13 nanocluster-based solutions. The fabricated nanocluster-based Al2O3 films exhibit a low leakage current density (<10-7 A/cm2) at 2 MV/cm and high dielectric breakdown strength (>6 MV/cm). Using this dielectric layer, precisely aligned microrod-shaped 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno [3,2-b][1] benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) single-crystal OTFTs were fabricated via solvent vapor annealing and photochemical patterning of the sacrificial layer.

3D-3D topotactic transformation in aluminophosphate molecular sieves and its implication in new zeolite structure generation.

Project description:Zeolites have unique pore structures of molecular dimensions and tunable compositions, making them ideal for shape selective catalysis and separation. However, targeted synthesis of zeolites with new pore structures and compositions remains a key challenge. Here, we propose an approach based on a unique 3D-3D topotactic transformation, which takes advantage of weak bonding in zeolites. This is inspired by the structure transformation of PST-5, a new aluminophosphate molecular sieve, to PST-6 by calcination. The structure of nano-sized PST-5 crystals is determined by 3D electron diffraction. We find that the 3D-3D topotactic transformation involves two types of building units where penta- or hexa-coordinated Al is present. We apply this approach to several other zeolite systems and predict a series of new zeolite structures that would be synthetically feasible. This method provides a concept for the synthesis of targeted zeolites, especially those which may not be feasible by conventional methods.

Carbon and zeolite-based composites for radionuclide and heavy metal sorption

Project description:Zeolites have been investigated as sorbents of heavy metals from water. Since graphene oxide was already reported as promising radionuclide sorbent, we developed composite materials containing both a synthetic zeolite (type A, P or Y) and graphene oxide to be multifunctional sorbents. The extension of multifunctionality of sorbents was done by presence of third component, exfoliated graphite, to have additional properties as conductivity. The changing sorption activities of a composite was studied depending on its composition and functional modification. The composites, characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, Raman, FTIR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, were tested for sorption of selected radionuclides (134Cs+, 85Sr2+) and heavy metals (Pb2+, Cd2+). The dependency on composition was found in connection with a high sorption of Pb2+ and Cd2+. Finally, optimized multifunctional sorbents (Gr-GO-COOH-A in ratio 40:40:20 and Gr:GO:A in ratio 25:25:50) were found to keep interesting high sorption activities for heavy metals and radionuclides with good conductivity properties.

Ultrasensitive barocaloric material for room-temperature solid-state refrigeration.

Project description:One of the greatest obstacles to the real application of solid-state refrigeration is the huge driving fields. Here, we report a giant barocaloric effect in inorganic NH4I with reversible entropy changes of [Formula: see text] ∼71 J K-1 kg-1 around room temperature, associated with a structural phase transition. The phase transition temperature, Tt, varies dramatically with pressure at a rate of dTt/dP ∼0.79 K MPa-1, which leads to a very small saturation driving pressure of ΔP ∼40 MPa, an extremely large barocaloric strength of [Formula: see text] ∼1.78 J K-1 kg-1 MPa-1, as well as a broad temperature span of ∼41 K under 80 MPa. Comprehensive characterizations of the crystal structures and atomic dynamics by neutron scattering reveal that a strong reorientation-vibration coupling is responsible for the large pressure sensitivity of Tt. This work is expected to advance the practical application of barocaloric refrigeration.

Ultralow-loss optical interconnect enabled by topological unidirectional guided resonance.

Project description:Grating couplers that interconnect photonic chips to off-chip components are crucial for various optoelectronics applications. Despite numerous efforts in past decades, the existing grating couplers are still far from optimal in energy efficiency and thus hinder photonic integration toward a larger scale. Here, we propose a strategy to achieve ultralow-loss grating couplers by using unidirectional guided resonances (UGRs), suppressing the useless downward radiation with no mirror on the bottom. By engineering the dispersion and apodizing the geometry of grating, we experimentally realize a grating coupler with a record-low loss of -0.34 dB and 1-dB bandwidth exceeding 30 nm at the telecom wavelength of 1550 nm and further demonstrate an optic via with a loss of only -0.94 dB. Given that UGRs ubiquitously exist in a variety of grating geometries, our work sheds light on a systematic method to achieve energy-efficient optical interconnect and paves the way to large-scale photonic integration.
