YBa₃B₉O₁₈: A Promising Scintillation Crystal

Single crystals of the newly discovered borate YBa3B9O18 with dimensions up to 13 × 8 × 4 mm3 were successfully grown by the Czochralski pulling method. X-ray excited luminescence measurements of the YBa3B9O18 showed a broad emission band in the wavelength range from 350 to 500 nm with a peak center at 400 nm. The light yield is about 6−7 times larger than that of PbWO4 measured at nearly the same conditions. The results show that borate can also exhibit attracting scintillation properties. A narrow temperature range for growth and drastic anisotropy of the growth rates are the main difficulties in growing large crystals. The crystal growth and properties of denser isostructural REBa3B9O18 series (RE = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) deserve further investigation

Poly(ether-b-amide)/Tween20 Gel Membranes for CO₂/N₂ Separation

<div><p>Poly(ether-<i>b</i>-amide) (PEBA)/Tween20 gel membranes containing from 0 wt% to 65 wt% of Tween20 in PEBA2533, PEBA3533, and PEBA4033 were prepared by solvent casting method for CO₂/N₂ separation. The gas separation properties of the polymeric gel membranes were tested for single gases of CO₂ and N₂ at 25°C with the feed pressure of 0.6 atm. For all pure PEBA membranes, CO₂ and N₂ permeability decreased as the amount of polyamide block increased, but CO₂/N₂ selectivity increased. For PEBA/Tween20 gel membranes, both the CO₂ permeability and CO₂/N₂ selectivity were greatly enhanced with the increase of Tween20 content. For the membrane of PEBA4033/Tween20-65, CO₂/N₂ selectivity, and CO₂ permeability reached 54 and 146 Barrer, respectively, which is very interesting for potential application in CO₂ removal from flue gas.</p></div

Graphene Oxide Quantum Dots Incorporated into a Thin Film Nanocomposite Membrane with High Flux and Antifouling Properties for Low-Pressure Nanofiltration

Graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs), novel carbon-based nanomaterials, have attracted tremendous research interest due to their unique properties associated with both graphene and quantum dots. In the present study, thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes comprising GOQDs dispersed within a tannic acid (TA) film were fabricated by an interfacial polymerization reaction for low-pressure nanofiltration (NF). The resultant TA/GOQDs TFN membranes had measurably smoother and more hydrophilic, negatively charged surfaces compared to the similarly formed TA thin film composite (TFC) membrane. Owing to the loose active layer structure and the combination of Donnan exclusion and steric hindrance, the TA/GOQDs TFN membrane showed a pure water flux up to 23.33 L/m²·h (0.2 MPa), which was 1.5 times more than that of pristine TA TFC membrane, while high dye rejection to Congo red (99.8%) and methylene blue (97.6%) was kept. In addition, the TA/GOQDs TFN membrane presented better antifouling properties, which was ascribed to the favorable changes in membrane hydrophilicity, ζ-potential, and surface roughness. These results indicated the great potential of such membranes in wastewater treatment, separation, and purification in many industrial fields
