Summary: Understanding the facet-dependent adsorption behavior and mechanism of heavy metal ions on 2D Janus nanoclays has important implications for the environment and ecosystem. In this study, ultrathin Janus serpentene nanosheets were fabricated and showed promising adsorption capacities for Cd(II) and Pb(II). The facet-dependent adsorption behavior was attributed to the difference in interaction mechanisms between HMs and different facets of the nanosheets.

Summary: This study developed a new synthetic strategy to prepare an economic fluoride adsorbent, ZrO2-MgO@C composite (CZMC), with high capacity, superior selectivity, and easy regeneration. Characterization results showed that CZMC possessed a desired structure with high dispersion of metal oxides in the porous carbonized microspheres. The adsorption capacity of CZMC for F- ions was found to be 184.5 mg/g, and it exhibited excellent resistance towards disturbance from other anions. DFT calculations revealed that the adsorption process of fluorine ions occurred spontaneously and involved orbital hybridization of surface atoms. This composite adsorbent with high adsorption capacity, superior F-selectivity, and ease of regeneration holds great potential for the treatment of wastewater containing fluorine ions.

Summary: The structural evolution of heteroatom-doped carbon materials during electrocatalysis, particularly under harsh oxygen evolution reaction (OER) conditions, has been neglected in previous research. This study reveals the dissolution of heteroatoms in N-, P-, and Se-doped carbon materials as high-valence oxoanions during OER, and identifies the ortho-quinone moieties in the oxygen-abundant residues as the active sites. Furthermore, the transformation of heteroatom-doped carbon materials as supporting substrates for metal-based composites leads to unexpectedly different activity origins.

Summary: TiO2/CuO composites were prepared via a two-step method. The results of X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy showed the substitution of Cu2+ for Ti4+ in the TiO2 lattice and the presence of Cu2+ species in the CuO lattice. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a morphology change in the sample and the formation of an interface between TiO2 and CuO. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectra indicated the presence of oxygen vacancies (VO) and Ti3+ in the lattice. UV-vis absorption spectra demonstrated a widening of the absorption range and a decrease in the bandgap with increasing amount of CuO. Additionally, the composites exhibited room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) related to VO and the exchange interaction between Ti3+ and Ti4+ at the interface.

Summary: We systematically investigated the optical and magnetic properties of Ru-doped hybrid improper perovskite Ca3Mn2O7. Ru doping enhanced the ferromagnetism of Ca3Mn2O7 and quasi-2D antiferromagnetic fluctuation effect was observed in certain doped samples. The optical bandgaps of the doped samples were reduced and distortion of the Mn-O bonds was observed. The Ru-doped materials with the coexistence of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic orderings are expected to be excellent candidates for magnetoelectric devices.

Summary: Regulating the energy barrier of *COOH is crucial for the rate determining step in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to produce CO gas. In this study, an appropriate Zn vacancy on ZnIn2S4 was synthesized to enhance the photocatalytic CO2 reduction capacity (CO: 5.63 mmol g(-1) h(-1)) and selectivity (CO: 97.9%). Different sulfhydryl groups were used to regulate the formation of Zn vacancies in ZnIn2S4, leading to the generation of unsaturated sulfur coordination state adjacent to the Zn vacancy with fewer electrons compared to ZnIn2S4 without Zn vacancy. Experimental analysis and theoretical calculations demonstrated that the appropriate Zn vacancy shifted the Gibbs free energy of *COOH from endothermic to exothermic during the photoreduction of CO2. This work provides an engineering method to optimize cation vacancies and improve the efficiency of photocatalytic CO2 reduction by adjusting the energy barrier of intermediates.

Summary: The discovery of metals as catalytic centers for nitrogen reduction reactions (NRR) has led to interest in single-atom catalysts (SACs). However, existing SACs have poor activity and low selectivity, which falls short of industrial requirements. Through first principles screening, doping engineering can effectively regulate the NRR performance of beta-Sb monolayer. Among 24 transition metal dopants, Re@Sb shows the best NRR catalytic performance with low limiting potential and can inhibit hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) while achieving a high theoretical Faradaic efficiency of 100%. These findings accelerate catalyst discovery for ammonia synthesis and contribute to understanding structure-performance correlations.
