Towards Next Generation “Smart” Tandem Catalysts with Sandwiched Mussel-inspired Layer Switch

Smart bilayer polymer reactor with cascade/non-cascade switching catalyst characteristics

Stomata-inspired smart bilayer catalyst with the dual-responsive ability, capable of single/tandem catalysis

Here, we aimed to develop manipulatable catalytic paradigms, expounding how to endue the catalysts with on/off-selective catalytic ability Inspired from the nature, this target was hit by reporting a polymer catalyst prepared by imprinting substrate molecules in a metal-nanoparticle- encapsulated smart polymer that held mobile molecular chains in the polymeric networks These mobile functional chains, by being “frozen” or “thawed”, allowed the smart polymer carrier to function with either recognition or misrecognition properties for the imprinted substrate, resulting in on/off-selective catalytic ability This catalyst exhibited selective catalytic behaviors towards the imprinted substrate at relatively low temperatures, due to the “frozen” functional chains which admitted recognition properties In contrast, this catalyst did not provide selective catalytic behaviors at relatively high temperatures, arising from the growing mobility of these functional chains which dismantled the recognition system In this way, this catalyst showed the on/off- selective catalytic ability The formulation of this catalyst shares an attractive prospect with the development of programmable catalytic processes

Nature-inspired polymer catalyst for formulating on/off-selective catalytic ability, by virtue of recognition/misrecognition-alterable scaffolds

Abstract The present endeavor is to develop a highly-intelligent catalytic reactor prototype which is able to autonomously adapt to the environment and provides an in-situ double-shift catalytic ability. By seeking inspiration from nature, this objective is achieved by developing a self-adaptive hydrogel catalytic reactor which held a catalytic trilaminar structure capable of reverse thermosensitive properties. With increasing temperatures, the catalytic tri-layers of this catalytic reactor would function in a sequential way (i.e., one negative temperature response layer, one support layer and one positive temperature response layer) and as a result, led to the single-tandem double-shift catalytic ability. This catalytic reactor individually presented single/tandem catalytic process at relatively low temperatures or high temperatures through the cooperative work of the three layers. In this way, this catalytic reactor showed the single-tandem controllable catalytic ability. The novel protocol not only provides a new solution to complicated catalytic processes but also inspires the further application of smart polymers in a broader spectrum of areas.

A Trilaminar-Thermosensitive Hydrogel Catalytic Reactor Capable of Single/Tandem Catalytic Switchable Ability

Artificial reactor containing polymeric bilayer architectures for the formation of self-controlled tandem catalytic-ability

Large-scale low-background detectors are increasingly used in rare-event searches as experimental collaborations push for enhanced sensitivity. However, building such detectors, in practice, creates an abundance of radioassay data especially during the conceptual phase of an experiment when hundreds of materials are screened for radiopurity. A tool is needed to manage and make use of the radioassay screening data to quantitatively assess detector design options. We have developed a Materials Database Application for the nEXO experiment to serve this purpose. This paper describes this database application, explains how it functions, and discusses how it streamlines the design of the experiment.
