A fluorine-containing acylhydrazone was newly designed and found to form gels in a mixed solvent of DMSO–ethylene glycol. The gelator could show brilliant blue light upon mixing with Al3+, which could be erased by F− ions and thus forming an erasable gel.

A two-stage-assembly of a supramolecular gel (B-gel) can emit brilliant blue light due to the strong AIEE effect depending on the multiple hydrogen-bonding and coordination bonds between gelator L and Cd2+.

Cryogenic wormlike micellar solutions with a freezing point far below 0 °C and unique rheological behavior are fabricated from the self-assembly of a C22-tailed zwitterionic surfactant in a mixed solvent of ethylene glycol and water. Such fluids could find applications in areas where viscoelasticity is highly desired at subfreezing temperatures.

Abstract In this paper, NiAlCe hydrotalcite was prepared by co-precipitation method and hydrothermal method in different volume fractions of ethylene glycol-water mixed solvent and polyethylene glycol-water mixed solvent, and the effect of photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange under ultraviolet light was studied. Samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, UV-Vis and FT-IR in order to find the reasons for the improvement of photocatalytic performance under co-solvent system. NiAlCe-10%EG(h) and NiAlCe-15%PEG(h) had smaller particle size, which was beneficial to photocatalytic performance. The degradation rate of methyl orange could reach up to 100% in 42 min using NiAlCe hydrotalcite with 10% volume fraction of EG and in 48 min using NiAlCe hydrotalcite with 15% volume fraction of PEG. The photocatalytic effect of NiAlCe hydrotalcite samples prepared by hydrothermal method were better than that prepared by co-precipitation method. This provided a new type of catalyst for the degradation of dyes: preparing with ethylene glycol-water mixed solvent.

We report the facial synthesis of BiVO4crystals with different morphologies by the solvothermal and hydrothermal process. The phase structure and morphology as-synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, and UV-vis DRS spectroscopy. We also investigated the photocatalytic activity of BiVO4for the decomposition of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The results showed that oliver-like BiVO4was obtained when using the mixed solvent of ethylene glycol and water while starflower-like BiVO4was obtained using the mixed solvent of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and water. The hydrothermal evolution process the BiVO4product with a rod-like morphology. Oliver-like BiVO4with pure monoclinic scheelite phase and high specific surface area exhibits efficient photodegradation of RhB (k = 7.82x10-3min-1).

HA MIP was prepared in acetonitrile-ethylene glycol mixed solvent ( 20:1,v/v), HA was used as the template, methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator and ethylene glycol dimethaerylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker. The UV spectrophotometry was used to demonstrate the interaction between HA and MAA. The adsorption characteristics of MIP to HA have been studied by equilibrium binding experiment and Scatchard analysis. The data obtained show that MIP reached equilibrium within 6 h. It is found that within the studied concentration range one HA molecule is entrapped by two MAA molecules The Scatchard chart shows the apparent maximum binding capacity (Bmax) and the dissociation contents (KD) of MIP are 170.5 μmol/g and 0.18 mmol/L, respctively. The MIP synthesized by this method have better binding ability to histamine and can be applied on the separation and detection of histamine.
