Searches for invisible decays of the Higgs boson in pp collisions at √s = 7, 8, and 13 TeV

Abstract: Searches for invisible decays of the Higgs boson are presented. The data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC correspond to integrated luminosities of 5.1, 19.7, and 2.3 fb−1 at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, respectively. The search channels target Higgs boson production via gluon fusion, vector boson fusion, and in association with a vector boson. Upper limits are placed on the branching fraction of the Higgs boson decay to invisible particles, as a function of the assumed production cross sections. The combination of all channels, assuming standard model production, yields an observed (expected) upper limit on the invisible branching fraction of 0.24 (0.23) at the 95% confidence level. The results are also interpreted in the context of Higgs-portal dark matter models.

2D Nanosheets and Their Composite Membranes for Water, Gas, and Ion Separation.

Abstract: Two-dimensional nanosheets have shown great potential for separation applications because of their exceptional molecular transport properties. Nanosheet materials such as graphene oxides, metal-organic frameworks, and covalent organic frameworks display unique, precise, and fast molecular transport through nanopores and/or nanochannels. However, the dimensional instability of nanosheets in harsh environments diminishes the membrane performance and hinders their long-term operation in various applications such as gas separation, water desalination, and ion separation. Recent progress in nanosheet membranes has included modification by crosslinking and functionalization that has improved the stability of the membranes, their separation functionality, and the scalability of membrane formation while the membranes' excellent molecular transport properties are retained. These improvements have enhanced the potential of nanosheet membranes in practical applications such as separation processes.

Intrinsically Microporous Soluble Polyimides Incorporating Tröger’s Base for Membrane Gas Separation

Abstract: Polyimides with intrinsic microporosity were readily prepared by introducing Troger’s base (TB) into the polymer backbone via polymerization between imide-containing diamines and dimethoxymethane (DMM). Two imide-containing diamines were prepared by reaction of 2,5-dimethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (DPD) with 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) and 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA). The resulting polyimides were readily soluble in common organic solvents, had good mechanical properties, with tensile strength in the range of 59–64 MPa and elongation at break of 5–17%, good thermal stability and extremely high glass transition temperatures (Tgs), up to 425 °C. The polyimides with incorporated TB units had high fractional free volume (FFV ≥ 0.215) resulting from poor chain-packing and exhibited significant microporosity and good gas transport properties. The novel polymer architecture in this study extends the development of polyimides with intrinsic microporosity fo...

Metal–Organic Frameworks Mediated Synthesis of One-Dimensional Molybdenum-Based/Carbon Composites for Enhanced Lithium Storage

Abstract: Molybdenum (Mo)-based compounds with properly engineered nanostructures usually possess improved reversible lithium storage capabilities, which offer great promise to boost the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Nevertheless, a lack of efficient and high-yield methods for constructing rational nanostructures has largely restricted the application of these potentially important materials. Herein we demonstrate a metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) mediated strategy to successfully synthesize a series of one-dimensional Mo-based/carbon composites with distinct nanostructures. In this process, starting from well-designed MoO3 nanorods, the crystal control growth is first proposed that a layer of MOFs is achieved to be controllably grown on surfaces of MoO3, forming an obvious core–shell structure, and then the adopted precursor can be in situ transformed into MoO2 or Mo2C which are both well confined in conductive porous carbons through direct carbonization at different temperatures, where the MOFs she...
