Summary: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) aims to deal with the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by power plants, and next-generation adsorbents like metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents are gaining attention for their high surface area, tunable pore size, and low heat capacity. Among MOFs, MOF-74 type analogs are known for their high CO2 adsorption performance due to open metal sites, and research is focused on enhancing their CO2 capacity and selective adsorption through modifications of organic linkers and metal sites.

Summary: A series of pyrazine-interior-embodied metal-organic framework-74 composites were synthesized successfully using a post-synthetic vapor modification method. These composites showed superior CO2/CH4 and CO2/N-2 adsorption selectivity due to the dual nitrogen atoms in the pyrazine molecule, which stabilize the MOF-74 and potentially trap CO2.

Summary: The presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups in a metal-organic framework (MOF) improves the CO2 adsorption capacity. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the effect of these functional groups on the humid CO2 adsorption capacity of Mg-MOF-74. The results show that Mg-MOF-74-COOH has the highest CO2 adsorption capacity in a mixture gas with high humidity. The sensitivity of MOFs to water molecules affects their CO2 adsorption capacity.

Summary: This article reports on the synthesis of a new material, adenine functionalized dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DAD), which can selectively adsorb CO2 due to acid-base interaction between CO2 and amine groups. The DAD also serves as an efficient catalyst for the fixation of CO2 with various epoxides into cyclic carbonates under solvent-free conditions. The DFNS skeleton of DAD offers a high surface area for enhanced CO2 adsorption, while its organic surface groups activate the epoxide ring and CO2 for the cycloaddition reaction. DAD can be recycled multiple times with negligible reduction in catalytic performance.

Summary: This study focuses on the physicochemical properties, photoelectric properties, and photocatalytic water-splitting properties of CdS@ZIF-67 composites obtained by the combination of four different CdS morphologies and ZIF-67. The nanoparticles CdS@ZIF-67 showed the most significant improvement in photocatalytic performance, reaching an optimal value of 2.21 mmol•g-1•h-1. The results suggest that the zero-dimensional structure of CdS is more conducive to the performance improvement of composite materials, providing favorable evidence for the combination of semiconductor materials and metal organic framework materials (MOFs) in the future.

Summary: This work presents a schematic strategy for mass fabrication of OH-riched copper oxides (CuO-OH), which exhibit high catalytic activity for water oxidation. The as-prepared CuO-OH shows a significantly higher catalytic activity (2,900 µmol h(-1) g(-1)) compared to pure CuO obtained by calcination. The research suggests that sulfate radicals are the main active species responsible for the catalytic activity, which is supported by radical capture results and spectroscopic analysis.

Summary: Solvent treatment can alter the composition, structure, and distribution of pyrolysis products in coal. The treatment reduces the moisture content and increases the volatile matter in coal, while the macromolecular structure remains relatively unchanged. SLFC-L has higher contents of oxygen-containing functional groups and aromatic groups compared to raw coal, and its weight loss rate is higher. The pyrolysis products of solvent-treated coal show decreased content of aliphatic hydrocarbons and increased content of oxygenates.

Summary: Yinggema lignite (YL) was pretreated with isometric acetone/carbon disulfide mixed solvent to increase its pyrolysis reactivity. The pretreatment effectively removed small molecules and caused coal swelling. Density separation with carbon tetrachloride yielded the light residue (LRYL) with reduced C=O intensity and absorption peak area due to the hydrogen-donating ability of acetone. The main gaseous products were H2O, CH4, CO2, and CO, while the pyrolysis products contained alkanes, alkenes, arenes, alcohols, and phenols.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
