Summary: According to the classical nucleation theory, solid particles in a liquid promote heterogeneous nucleation under supercooling. This study analyzes the behavior of detonation diamond nanoparticles (DND) with different surface charges in supercooled conditions and frozen state. The experimental data and analysis demonstrate a significant increase in freezing delay times for positively charged nanoparticles and a sharp decrease for negatively charged ones compared to deionized water.

Summary: Tungsten is a material with high thermal conductivity, high melting point, high hardness, and high density, making it suitable for various applications. However, the formation of surface oxides on tungsten significantly reduces its mechanical properties and makes it prone to interaction with water. Researchers have developed a series of superhydrophobic coatings for tungsten surfaces using nanosecond laser treatment and chemical vapor deposition. The durability of the coatings depends on surface morphology and composition, which can be controlled by adjusting the parameters of the laser treatment. The optimized coating exhibited high superhydrophobic properties even after subjected to abrasion, contact with water droplets, and falling sand tests.

Summary: In this study, Fe-doped MFe-LDHs (M = Co, Ni, Cu, Mn) were synthesized to investigate the influence of Fe on their electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). It was found that the Fe content had a significant impact on the catalytic performance, with an optimal Fe content resulting in the highest OER activity. Excess Fe, however, compromised the activity. Additionally, a volcano relationship was observed between the intermediate adsorption and Fe content, and intermediate adsorption capacitance was identified as a new activity descriptor for electrocatalysts.

Summary: A method of obtaining superhydrophobic coatings on tungsten and D16 aluminum alloy surfaces using nanosecond laser treatment and chemical deposition has been developed. The study showed that for chemically stable coatings, the hydrophobizer should be individually applied to each material with specific sample preparation conditions. By varying the surface pretreatment time with oxygen plasma, the density of surface adsorption sites can be controlled, thus controlling the chemical stability of the hydrophobizer layer and the overall coating. Superhydrophobic coatings with contact angles larger than 170 degrees were successfully obtained on the metals, and the contact angles remained preserved during long-term continuous contact with aqueous media.

Summary: It is well known that the activity of electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) depends on the active centers of electrocatalysts. In this study, molybdenum oxide catalysts were used as a representative model and it was found that the inactive molybdenum sites can be regenerated as synergistic active centers for promoting OER through phosphorus-modulated defective engineering. The optimal catalyst achieved an overpotential of 287 mV for a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) with only 2% performance decay after 50 hours of continuous operation. This work provides insights into activating inert metal sites on oxide catalysts to enhance their electrocatalytic properties.

Summary: This study develops a novel approach to introduce halogen bonding elements into UiO-66 to fine-tune the adsorption properties towards chlorobenzenes. The highest adsorption capacity was achieved in UiO-66 loaded with 50% I-TA (UiO-66-Iopt) due to the balance between the number of halogen bonding elements and the surface area of UiO-66 structure. The formation of halogen bonding was experimentally verified and PET@UiO-66-Iopt showed excellent selectivity for the separation of chlorobenzenes.

Summary: Active metal-based batteries have gained attention for their high energy density and specific capacity. However, challenges such as dendrite growth, electrode degradation, and performance fading limit their practical application. Bioinspired designs offer innovative approaches to regulate metal ion transportation, achieve dendrite-free metal plating, prevent side reactions, and delay structural distortions, enabling more reliable and secure operation of active metal-based batteries.

Summary: A one-pot wet-chemical reduction approach is used to synthesize PtPdRhRuCu mesoporous nanospheres with adjustable compositions and exposed porous structures. These nanospheres exhibit robust electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activities in alkaline, acidic, and neutral electrolytes. The excellent performance of the PtPdRhRuCu nanospheres is attributed to the synergistic interactions among multiple compositions and the mesoporous structures with excellent mass/electron transportation characteristics.

Summary: For electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reactions (OERs), optimizing the surface microenvironment of nanocatalysts is crucial for enhancing catalytic performance. In this study, molybdenum oxides were used as representative catalysts and boron/nitrogen species were employed as modulators to improve OER activities. It was found that the boron modulator induced the formation of MoO2 phase, while the nitrogen modulator stabilized MoO3 phase. The boron modulator showed better OER performance with a lower overpotential of 298 mV compared to the nitrogen modulator (310 mV) at a current density of 10 mA cm(-2), without significant performance decay for 50 hours. This work provides insights into OLSME engineering and offers possibilities for enhancing activities of inactive metal oxide electrocatalysts.

Summary: The loading of active noble-metal nanoparticles onto two-dimensional metal oxide supporters can improve catalytic performance through stable interfacial binding and reduced charge transfer distance. This study proposes a controllable self-assembly approach for synthesizing three types of 2D vanadium oxide supporters. The experimental results show that the 2D geometry has the optimal effect on catalytic kinetics, mainly due to the strongest Ir-V-O interaction at the particle-support interfaces. This work provides new insights into particle-support interaction mechanisms and offers a possible solution for optimizing electrocatalytic kinetics by adjusting the geometry of the supporter.
