Summary: In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in conducting polymers for their broad applications. However, the techniques for producing 2D nanosheets of conducting polymers are either complex or expensive, and a comprehensive approach for constructing 2D and 3D materials or their composites has not been documented. In this study, a simple and scalable synthetic protocol was developed to design 2D, 3D, and related conducting polymer nanocomposites. Diverse bicontinuous thin layers of oil and water were used to produce 2D nanosheets, and specially designed linkers were applied to lock the 3D networks of the conducting polymers and their composites. This technique is cost-effective and easily scalable, and it achieved the highest reported electrical conductivity for 2D PPY nanosheets to date.

Summary: Transition metals as catalysts for total VOC oxidation at low temperatures are challenging. This study prepared and tested iron-modified SBA-15, AlSBA-15, and ZrSBA-15 materials with varying Fe loading for toluene oxidation. The results showed that increasing Fe loading improved the oxidation rate and decreased the temperature required for complete toluene removal. Surface properties of the mesoporous support influenced the type and localization of iron oxide species, and 5 wt. % Fe-containing ZrSBA-15 exhibited excellent activity in the total oxidation of toluene at lower temperatures due to the synergistic effect of Fe-Zr and the presence of accessible and stable Fe2+/Fe3+ active sites.

Summary: Sulfide compounds show promise as electrocatalysts for water splitting, but their performance is limited by factors such as limited active sites and hindered substance transport. This study successfully prepared a high-entropy sulfide (ZnCoMnFeAlMg)(9)S-8, which reduced grain size and increased specific surface area, enabling the realization of a dual-functional catalyst with multiple catalytic sites. High entropy also modulated the electronic properties of sulfides, reducing the potential energy barrier for hydrolysis. This research introduces a new approach for functionalizing high entropy nanomaterials and improves the performance of water splitting catalysts.
