Summary: By using bamboo as the raw material, a thin-walled hollow ellipsoidal carbon-based adsorbent (CPCs900) has been fabricated, which exhibits excellent performance in removing lead ion (Pb2+) from water with high adsorption capacity and efficiency. The outstanding adsorption performance of CPCs900 is attributed to the abundant O-containing groups and carbon defects as well as the large specific surface area. Converting bamboo into highly efficient adsorbents for removing toxic metal ions from water is of great significance for meeting industrial demands.

Summary: Geopolymers have shown great potential as adsorbents for wastewater treatment due to their superior adsorption stability, tunable porosity, high adsorption capacity, and low-energy production. However, developing geopolymers with well-controlled hierarchical structures and high porosity remains challenging, and the mechanism underlying the ion adsorption process is still unclear. In this study, a cost-effective and universal approach was used to fabricate Na or K geopolymers with sophisticated architectures, high porosity, and arbitrary cation species exchange. The effects of morphology, surfactant content, and cation species on Cs+ adsorption performance were systematically investigated, and the results showed promising adsorption capacity of the printed NaGP adsorbent.

Summary: The manipulation of crystal and electronic structure plays a crucial role in determining the electrocatalytic activity of materials, with bismuth molybdate showing potential as an electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction with the promotion of iron in the crystal structure. The incorporation of iron leads to the development of strain and dislocation in the crystal structure, with the presence of an optimal amount of iron beneficial for creating oxygen vacancies. However, a higher concentration of iron can be detrimental to the electrocatalytic performance.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.

Summary: In this work, two metal organic frameworks (MOFs) containing {Cu2I2} clusters, Eu-CuI-INA and Sr-K-CuI-INA, were synthesized and characterized. Both materials have a three-dimensional structure with {Cu2I2} clusters coordinated by INA(-) ligands and Eu3+ or Sr2+ ions. The Sr-K-CuI-INA material exhibited sensitive fluorescence sensing behaviors towards cysteine and nitro-bearing molecules, showing potential applications in bio and explosive molecule sensing. This work provides a good reference for designing fluorescent MOF probes containing CuI molecules.

Summary: Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have attracted great interest as a potential technology for grid-scale energy storage due to the wide distribution, low cost, and environmental friendliness of sodium resources. However, their implementation is hindered by low rate capability and cycling stability caused by the large ionic size of Na+. In this study, a three-dimensional nanoarchitectured coral-like CoSe2@N-doped carbon (CL-CoSe2@NC) was synthesized, and it exhibited improved sodium storage properties with better electrode kinetics and a stable SEI film.
