TL;DR: It is demonstrated that metal–organic frameworks, a type of highly crystalline porous solid, can be made solution processable via outer surface functionalization using N-heterocyclic carbene ligands, and a surface modification is reported that allows porous liquid formation and so synthesis of highly loaded and mechanically robust mixed matrix membranes.
Abstract: The combination of well-defined molecular cavities and chemical functionality makes crystalline porous solids attractive for a great number of technological applications, from catalysis to gas separation. However, in contrast to other widely applied synthetic solids such as polymers, the lack of processability of crystalline extended solids hampers their application. In this work, we demonstrate that metal–organic frameworks, a type of highly crystalline porous solid, can be made solution processable via outer surface functionalization using N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. Selective outer surface functionalization of relatively large nanoparticles (250 nm) of the well-known zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-67 allows for the stabilization of processable dispersions exhibiting permanent porosity. The resulting type III porous liquids can either be directly deployed as liquid adsorbents or be co-processed with state-of-the-art polymers to yield highly loaded mixed matrix membranes with excellent mechanical properties and an outstanding performance in the challenging separation of propylene from propane. We anticipate that this approach can be extended to other metal–organic frameworks and other applications. Solution processability is required for many industrial processes, but metal–organic frameworks are in general not dispersible, hindering their application. Here, a surface modification is reported that allows porous liquid formation and so synthesis of highly loaded and mechanically robust mixed matrix membranes.

TL;DR: Li diffusion in pure-phase microcrystalline Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) with an average particle size in the microm range was probed by (7)Li solid state NMR spectroscopy using spin-alignment echo (SAE) and spin-lattice relaxation (SLR) measurements.
Abstract: The cubic spinel oxides Li1+xTi2−xO4 (0 ≤
x
≤ 1/3) are promising anode materials for lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. The end member of the Li–Ti–O series, Li4Ti5O12, can accommodate Li ions up to the composition Li7Ti5O12. Whereas a number of studies focus on the electrochemical behaviour of Li insertion into and Li diffusion in the Li intercalated material, only few investigations about low-temperature Li dynamics in the non-intercalated host material Li4Ti5O12 have been reported so far. In the present paper, Li diffusion in pure-phase microcrystalline Li4Ti5O12 with an average particle size in the μm range was probed by 7Li solid state NMR spectroscopy using spin-alignment echo (SAE) and spin–lattice relaxation (SLR) measurements. Between T = 295 K and 400 K extremely slow Li jump rates τ−1 ranging from 1 s−1 to about 2200 s−1 were directly measured by recording the decay of spin-alignment echoes as a function of mixing time and constant evolution time. The results point out the slow Li diffusion in non-intercalated Li4Ti5O12·
τ−1 (1/T) follows Arrhenius behaviour with an activation energy EASAE of about 0.86 eV. Interestingly, EASAE is comparable to activation energies deduced from conductivity measurements (0.94(1) eV) and from SLR measurements in the rotating frame (0.74(2) eV) rather than from those performed in the laboratory frame, EAlow-T = 0.26(1) eV at low T.

TL;DR: This work states that the proposed encoder architecture, which combines a block- based transform and interframe predictive coding approach, is well-suited for applications where the video is encoded once and decoded many times, i.e., one-to-many topologies, such as broadcasting or video-on-demand, where the cost of the decoder is more critical than thecost of the encoder.
Abstract: Growing percentage of the world population now uses image and video coding technologies on a regular basis. These technologies are behind the success and quick deployment of services and products such as digital pictures, digital television, DVDs, and Internet video communications. Today's digital video coding paradigm represented by the ITU-T and MPEG standards mainly relies on a hybrid of block- based transform and interframe predictive coding approaches. In this coding framework, the encoder architecture has the task to exploit both the temporal and spatial redundancies present in the video sequence, which is a rather complex exercise. As a consequence, all standard video encoders have a much higher computational complexity than the decoder (typically five to ten times more complex), mainly due to the temporal correlation exploitation tools, notably the motion estimation process. This type of architecture is well-suited for applications where the video is encoded once and decoded many times, i.e., one-to-many topologies, such as broadcasting or video-on-demand, where the cost of the decoder is more critical than the cost of the encoder.
