The catalytic nanofiber demonstrated high efficiency and reusability with turnover numbers (>7000 over 5 h) and frequency (>1400 h -1 ) and an overall quantum yield for solar energy conversion to fuel of 4.0% under optimised conditions.…”

“…Further examples make use of the counter-anion modulated aggregation of Pt II and Pd II pincer-type complexes 26 , the coupling of SP with a chemical fuel or light [27][28][29][30] , the trapping of an active monomer using "dummy" monomers incapable of 1D supramolecular polymerization 31 and the amplification of macrocycles from dynamic combinatorial libraries 32 . Moreover, supramolecular precision materials with remarkable complexity have been obtained via living epitaxial growth [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] .…”

The development of powerful methods for living covalent polymerization has been a key driver of progress in organic materials science. While there have been remarkable reports on living supramolecular polymerization recently, the scope of monomers is still narrow and a simple solution to the problem is elusive. Here we report a minimalistic molecular platform for living supramolecular polymerization that is based on the unique structure of all-cis 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluorocyclohexane, the most polar aliphatic compound reported to date. We use this large dipole moment (6.2 Debye) not only to thermodynamically drive the self-assembly of supramolecular polymers, but also to generate kinetically trapped monomeric states. Upon addition of well-defined seeds, we observed that the dormant monomers engage in a kinetically controlled supramolecular polymerization. The obtained nanofibers have an unusual double helical structure and their length can be controlled by the ratio between seeds and monomers. The successful preparation of supramolecular block copolymers demonstrates the versatility of the approach.

“…The core-shell structure has the advantages of large specific surface area, regular size, stable, and controllable performance, which makes it a wide application prospect in the field of catalysis [12][13][14]. Greiner et al [15] prepared the core-shell structure fiber of gold nanoparticles supported on polymer tube by the electrospinning technique.…”

The core-shell NaYF4/Yb/Tm/TiO2 hollow composite fibers were prepared by coaxial electrospinning and high-temperature calcination. The composite fibers exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity under the dual synergistic of regulating the core-shell hollow microstructure and the composition by doping nanoparticles. Compared with commercial P25 and hollow fiber without nanoparticles, the degradation efficiency of rhodamine B using the core-shell composite fiber was significantly improved up to 99%. Moreover, the nanoparticles in the composite fibers can exist stably and maintain good structure and photocatalytic activity after repeated use. Therefore, the composite fiber has a wide application prospect in photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants.
