A rapid chemical method has been developed for the synthesis of the Ag 2 Te nanorods with monoclinic crystalline phase. The method is based on the template-engaged synthesis in which the Te nanorods were used as template reagents. On the basis of a series of experiments and characterizations, the effect factors and the formation mechanism of the Ag 2 Te nanorods were discussed. Furthermore, the electrochemical property of the Ag 2 Te nanorods was determined by the voltammetric technique.

Herein, the infrared-responsive photocatalyst NaYF4:Yb,Tm@ZnO has been successfully synthesized by combining semiconductor ZnO with an upconversion material, NaYF4:Yb,Tm.

The dynamic chemistry of disulfide bonds has emerged as one of the most powerful tools used for the fabrication of organic compounds and self‐healing materials. In this article, a novel aromatic amine‐terminated polysulfide oligomer is first synthesized from thiol‐terminated polysulfide oligomer and bis(4‐aminophenyl) disulfide via disulfide metathesis mechanism. The resulting oligomer is confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR spectra and then successfully applied in constructing self‐healable polyurea material (A‐LP23‐I), which combines the advantages of higher strength of polyureas and excellent self‐healing ability of polysulfide‐based materials. After subjecting to a temperature of 75 °C for 48 h, both the tensile strength and ultimate elongation of A‐LP23‐I restore to more than 90% of the original values (3.32 MPa and 396%). This study demonstrates a novel strategy for synthesizing aromatic amine‐terminated oligomer. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2019, 57, 1460–1466
