Summary: Mixtures of zwitterionic and anionic dicarboxylate ligands with flexibility and curvature can form various types of uranyl ion complexes, including coordination polymers, polycatenated chains, and coordination cages. These complexes were synthesized under solvo-hydrothermal conditions and exhibit different stoichiometries and conformations.

Summary: In this study, a novel supramolecular inclusion-based method using two macrocyclic hosts, CB[7] and CB[8], was applied to facilitate hierarchical assembly of uranyl metallacycles. Two different types of uranyl metallacycle-based complexes with intriguing hierarchical structures were successfully prepared. The results demonstrate the feasibility of supramolecular inclusion for regulating the coordination assembly of uranyl metallacycles.

Summary: This study synthesized highly uniform xylan micro/nanoparticles ranging from 400 nm to 2.5 μm in diameter in aqueous solutions using a self-assembly method. The particle size of the xylan particles was controlled by the initial concentration of the xylan suspension. The resulting particles have potential applications in hydrogels, aerogels, drug delivery, and photonic materials, and can be used to create a diffraction grating film for visible light.

Summary: The synthesis and self-assembly of functional nanoparticles have attracted significant attention in recent years. The self-organization of nanoparticles into ordered structures is important for creating functional interfaces and enhancing their properties. This review provides an overview of recent developments in nanoparticle self-assembly and discusses their applications. Different techniques for obtaining these nanostructures and their impact on performance are also discussed.

Summary: In this work, a pair of atomically precise enantiomers of silver clusters were synthesized, and their chirality was attributed to the asymmetric arrangement of surface ligands. These clusters could form two-dimensional assemblies, exhibiting excellent thermal stability and photocatalytic activity, providing possibilities for exploring catalysts based on fixed coinage clusters with attractive properties.

Summary: This study successfully improved the efficiency of H2O2 production over carbon nitride photocatalyst driven by solar energy by introducing sodium and potassium co-doped N vacancy rich carbon nitride. Sodium mainly located on the edge site of CN layers, introducing N vacancy structure and cyano structure to modulate the migration of electrons; potassium intercalated between CN layers to promote carrier transportation. The optimal sample CNNK achieved a production rate and apparent quantum yield 124.5 and 10.4 times higher than BCN, respectively.

Summary: This study presents a novel method for constructing hollow Ti3C2Tx submicro-tubes with monolayered nanosheets through electrospinning and self-assembly. The issues of serious stacking of 2D nanosheets are effectively addressed, resulting in improved reversible capacities and reaction kinetics as an anode material for rechargeable batteries. The optimized Ti3C2Tx-SMT with an ultra-thin wall exhibits abundant active sites and convenient ion diffusion/transport pathways, leading to excellent alkali metal ion storage behaviors.
