Summary: We report the enhancement of photo-electrochemical properties of Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 (BCZT) through coupling with a copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF). The optical bandgap of BCZT is reduced after coupling with Cu-MOF, resulting in increased visible light absorption. The photo-current is significantly enhanced in the Cu-MOF/BCZT composite, supported by various measurement techniques. The porous structure of Cu-MOF improves electron transfer properties in the composite, which is crucial for the observed enhancement. This work provides a novel strategy for designing solar-to-hydrogen conversion devices by combining MOFs with photo-absorbing materials.

Summary: The study prepared cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) decorated graphene oxide (GO) nanohybrids (CNC@GO) using a solution mixing approach and analyzed their effect on the waterborne epoxy system called solventless polymer (SLP). The results showed that the incorporation of CNC@GO nanohybrids in the SLP nanocomposites led to improved mechanical and thermal properties, with the highest tensile strength observed at the lowest loading content of CNC@GO. Additionally, the thermo-mechanical analysis revealed a significant enhancement in tan delta and storage modulus values for the CNC@GO nanohybrids at lower nanofiller concentration. The successful decoration of CNC on the GO surface contributed to a uniform dispersion, strong hydrogen bonding, and outstanding interaction within the SLP system.

Summary: The aim of this study was to understand the solubility curve in solvents at supercritical conditions, including thermodynamics modeling and van der Waals-type models. The solubility of alkyl oleate monomers in supercritical carbon dioxide (Sc-CO2) was predicted using a thermodynamic approach and validated with experimental data. The results showed that the solubility increased with temperature and mole fraction of the solute in the binary mixtures. The solubility curves of the different alkyl oleate monomers in Sc-CO2 exhibited a consistent upward trend with temperature. Comparison with a theoretical model demonstrated the influence of adjusted factors on the accuracy of the predictions.

Summary: Doped carbon materials, especially F-doped carbon catalysts, have gained significant attention as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions and as corrosion-resistant supports for Pt and non-Pt nanoparticles. F-doped carbon materials possess unique properties and greatly improve the activity and durability of the ORR compared to N-doped carbon materials. The high electronegativity of F-doping can efficiently modify the electronic band structure of carbon materials, favoring the ORR. This review systematically discusses the effect of F-doping/F co-doping on the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 in acidic and alkaline conditions, the stability and durability of fuel cell catalysts, and provides guidelines for working with F-doped carbons. Future research directions on F-doped carbons are also proposed to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale assessments and commercial applications.
