Summary: Worldwide rapid urbanization and development have led to the release and dispersion of anthropogenic heavy metals, posing serious threats to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Although various methods for removing heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions have been explored, there is still a need for improvement in the efficient and pertinent treatment of heavy metal pollution. Adsorption is considered the best technique for heavy metal removal, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are recognized as one of the most promising emerging adsorbents with excellent adsorption properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview of MOFs synthesis techniques, functionalization methods, and adsorption mechanisms, as well as a detailed comparison of their applications in heavy metal removal, aiming to offer a strong reference for MOFs synthesis and a feasible solution for heavy metal treatment.

Summary: The preparation of mercapto-reduced graphene oxides (m-RGOs) using P4S10 as a thionating agent has shown potential for scavenging heavy metal ions, particularly Pb2+, from aqueous solutions. The surface of m-RGOs is functionalized with thiol (-SH) groups. Various techniques were used to analyze the structure and elements of m-RGOs, including XRD, Raman spectroscopy, optical microscopy, SEM, TEM, STEM-EDS, and XPS. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb2+ ions on m-RGOs was approximately 858 mg/g at pH 7 and 25°C. The study also demonstrated high removal efficiency for Pb2+ ions within 30 minutes at pH 7 and 25°C using a 1 ppm Pb2+ solution. The findings highlight the potential of thiol-functionalized carbonaceous materials for removing environmentally harmful Pb2+ from groundwater.

Summary: This paper investigates the adsorption and sensing properties of transition metal-doped WSSe gas-sensitive devices towards H2, CO, and CO2 gases related to thermal runaway in Li-ion batteries using density functional theory. The results show that Ti, Mn, and Mo dopants preferentially bind to the S-surface of the WSSe monolayer, and all three monolayers exhibit significantly improved sensing characteristics, with chemisorption towards CO. Band structure analysis suggests that the Ti-WSSe monolayer has the potential to be used as a resistive CO detection sensor. Recovery time calculations indicate the reuse capabilities of the gas-sensitive devices. Mn-WSSe monolayer shows potential for H2 detection, while Mo-WSSe monolayer is more suitable for CO2 detection. This work lays the foundation for potential gas-sensitive applications of WSSe monolayer in thermal runaway scenarios, advancing research in gas sensing domains.

Summary: This paper investigates the effects of electric and magnetic fields on the Goos-Hanchen (GH) shift in a semi-Dirac system. The results show that the magnitude and direction of the GH shift depend on various factors such as incidence angle, electric barrier height and width, and magnetic field. It is observed that there is a saltus step in GH shifts at the critical magnetic field, which decreases with increased potential barrier thickness. Additionally, the GH shift can be significantly enhanced by applying an electric field in the III region. These findings are important for the development of semi-Dirac based electronic devices.

Summary: Using full electron-phonon interactions and the Boltzmann transport equation, this study investigates the phonon scattering channel and electrical properties of graphene under anharmonic phonon renormalization (APRN). The results show that the APRN reduces the phonon frequency and three-phonon phase space with increasing temperature, affecting the acoustic branch more than the optical branch. The thermal conductivity of graphene decreases after considering three- and four-phonon scattering, and the primary scattering channels are identified. Furthermore, the APRN increases the strength of electron-phonon coupling and leads to an increase in n-type electric resistance at room temperature.
