TL;DR: In this article, the most important methods for polymer nanocomposites synthesis, such as in situ polymerization, direct mixing of polymer and nanofillers (meltmixing and solution-mixing), sol-gel, and electrochemical methods are discussed.
Abstract: The human population is generally subjected to diverse pollutants and contaminants in the environment like those in the air, soil, foodstuffs, and drinking water. Therefore, the development of novel purification techniques and efficient detection devices for pollutants is an important challenge. To date, experts in the field have designed distinctive analytical procedures for the detection of pollutants including gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and atomic absorption spectroscopy. While the mentioned procedures enjoy high sensitivity, they suffer from being laborious, expensive, require advanced skills for operation, and are inconvenient to deploy as a result of their massive size. Therefore, in response to the above-mentioned limitations, electrochemical sensors are being developed that enjoy robustness, selectivity, sensitivity, and real-time measurements. Considerable advancements in nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensor platforms have helped to generate new technologies to ensure environmental and human safety. Recently, investigators have expanded considerable effort to utilize polymer nanocomposites for building the electrochemical sensors in view of their promising features such as very good electrocatalytic activities, higher electrical conductivity, and effective surface area in comparison to the traditional polymers. Herein, the first section of this review briefly discusses the most important methods for polymer nanocomposites synthesis, such as in situ polymerization, direct mixing of polymer and nanofillers (melt-mixing and solution-mixing), sol–gel, and electrochemical methods. It then summarizes the current utilization of polymer nanocomposites for the preparation of electrochemical sensors as a novel approach for monitoring and detecting environmental pollutants which include heavy metal ions, pesticides, phenolic compounds, nitroaromatic compounds, nitrite, and hydrazine in different mediums. Finally, the current challenges and future directions for the polymer nanocomposites-based electrochemical sensing of environmental pollutants are outlined.

TL;DR: In this paper, a micro-kinetic reaction model for methanation reactions of CO and CO₂ over Ni-based catalysts is presented based on the mean-field approximation and comprises 42 reactions among 19 species.
Abstract: Methanation of both CO and CO₂ with electrolysis-sourced hydrogen is a key step in power-to-gas technologies with nickel as the most prominent catalyst. Here, a detailed, thermodynamically consistent reaction mechanism for the methanation reactions of CO and CO₂ over Ni-based catalysts is presented. This microkinetic model is based on the mean-field approximation and comprises 42 reactions among 19 species. The model was developed based on experiments from a number of studies in powder and monolith catalysts. These are numerically reproduced by flow field simulations coupled with the kinetic scheme. The reaction mechanism features multiple paths for the conversion of CO and CO₂ into CH₄, including a carbide pathway and direct hydrogenation of CO₂ on the surface. The model developed describes the methanation process adequately over a wide range of temperatures, catalyst loadings, support materials, and reactant ratios. Hence, it can serve as a microkinetic basis for reaction engineering and up-scaling purposes.

Then, we introduce in detail the applications field from a single Janus particle, assembly of Janus particles, 2D Janus nanosheet, and Janus membrane. We summarize the recent research on the self-assembly of Janus particles and point out the role of the combination of computational simulation and experiment in the research of Janus material. Finally, the research process of Janus materials is reviewed, and the development tendencies of Janus materials and the problems to be solved are summarized.

TL;DR: In this article, a nonporous guanidinium-based poly(ionic liquid) with the feature of nonporosity was designed and prepared through a facile copolymerization procedure.
Abstract: Because of considerable adsorption capacities of competitive gases N₂ and CO₂, many kinds of porous materials suffer from unsatisfied SO₂/CO₂ and SO₂/N₂ selectivities and thus hardly achieve deep removal of SO₂ from flue gas. Herein, a novel type of guanidinium-based poly(ionic liquid) with the feature of nonporosity was designed and prepared through a facile copolymerization procedure. It is very attractive that nonporous guanidinium-based poly(ionic liquids) P([allyl-TMG]Br-DVB) by polymerization of (allyl-tetramethylguanidine)bromide with divinylbenzene had almost excluded the adsorption of N₂ (0.01 mmol g–¹) and CO₂ (0.07 mmol g–¹) but showed very high SO₂ capacity (9.79 mmol g–¹) at 25 °C and 1 bar. The high selectivities of SO₂/CO₂ (452) and SO₂/N₂ (2294) were accordingly obtained. Furthermore, column breakthrough experiments confirmed the excellent separation performance of P([allyl-TMG]Br-DVB) in deeply eliminating 2000 ppm SO₂ in the mixture of SO₂/N₂/CO₂. The employment of nonporous poly(ionic liquids) as efficient adsorbents is an effective strategy for the deep removal of SO₂ from flue gas.
