Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have conjugated skeleton and permanent porosity, and exhibit huge potential in developing novel functional materials for resolving the challenging energy and environment issues. Metal-containing CMPs often exhibited unique properties. In the present manuscript, ferrocene-based conjugated microporous polymers (FcCMPs) were designed and synthesized with 1,1′-dibromoferrocene and 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(4- bromophenyl) porphyrin (FcCMP-1) or Tetra (p-bromophenyl) methane (FcCMP-2) as building units via Yamamoto coupling. FcCMPs were amorphous, and exhibited excellent thermal and physicochemical stability. The BET surface area of FcCMP-1 and FcCMP-2 was 638 m2/g and 422 m2/g, respectively. In comparison with FcCMP-2, FcCMP-1 displayed better gas storage capacity due to higher porosity. FcCMPs were also used as an adsorbent for removal of methyl violet from aqueous solution, and exhibited excellent adsorption properties due to the interaction between electron-rich conjugated structure of the polymers and methyl violet with cationic groups. Moreover, FcCMPs could be extracted and regenerated by an eluent and then re-used for high efficient removal of methyl violet.

The research progress and university education situation in ecological environment functional materials (EEFMS) in China were analyzed. A new subject of EEFMS involved in many subject knowledge, such as materials, energy and environment, has come into being due to the rapid development of the advance industry of energy and environment materials in the last decade, as well as a serial of new industries of micro-environment control functional materials, and so on. At the same time, the university education was accelerated in the direction of the research in EEFMS.

Because of the unique optical properties, titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been widely used as a white pigment over several decades. The numerous and diverse applications of TiO2 can be found in many common products such as paints, plastics, paper, sunscreens, etc. In the past decades, the emergence of nanotechnology and the discovery of some of the key application potentials of TiO2 have spurred the enormous interests to study TiO2, particularly, nano-structured TiO2, as the functional materials. Since then, substantial advances have been made in the fabrication, characterization, fundamental understanding of TiO2 nano-materials, and their promising applications in a number of areas such as energy and environment. This review will discuss the properties of nano-structured TiO2 and highlight the recent development of their applications.

Material industry is a basic industry in our national economy. In order to develop our new material industry, the independent innovation capability should be improved and the compound innovation talents of science and technology should be trained. The popularization education of the intellectual property should be brought into the quality education system of the college students. This is of important significance for developing the strategic new industry in the field of new material. Combined the training practice on the innovation talents of science and technology in the industries of the new energy and environment functional materials, the education mode of the intellectual property for the compound innovation talents of science and technology in the functional material industry was studied.

Layered materials draw attention in recent years in response to the world-wide drive to discover new functional materials. High-Tc superconducting oxide is one example. Internal interfaces in such layered materials differ significantly from those of cubic metals. They are often parallel to the layer of the neighboring crystals in sintered samples(layer plane boundary), while periodically ordered interfaces with the two neighboring crystals in mirror symmetry to each other are relatively rare. Consequently, the atomistic features of the interface differ significantly from those of cubic metals. In this paper grain boundaries in sintered high-Tc superconducting oxides, joined interfaces between engineering ceramics with metals, and polytype interfaces in vapor-deposited bicrystal are examined to collect atomic information of the interfaces in layered materials. The analysis proved that they are not neccessarily more complicated than that of simple grain boundaries in cubic metals. The interfaces are majorly layer plane type which is parallel to the compound layer. Secondly, chemical information is often available, which helps the interpretation of the interface atomic structure.
