Summary: In this study, an in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) heating system was used to investigate the morphological changes of cubic Ag nanoparticles (NPs) and Ag-based core-shell structures induced by sublimation, as well as the influence of shell coverage on thermal stability. It was found that large Ag NPs (>50 nm) showed a three-stage sublimation-induced morphological change, while small Ag NPs (<30 nm) showed a uniform sublimation. The sublimation process of core-shell NPs started at stage II, and the thermal stability was enhanced by carbon shell passivation.

Summary: A nanoscale processing method was used to assemble a Li-O-2 nanobattery, where a single Ag nanowire was used as catalyst for O-2 electrode. The insertion process of lithium ions during electrochemical reactions was visualized. It was found that Ag nanoparticles on the surface of the Ag nanowire acted as catalyst during the charge/discharge reaction. Based on these findings, Ag nanoparticles decorated on porous carbon were synthesized and improved the cycling stability and the maximum specific capacity in a coin cell Li-O-2 battery.

Summary: The study presents experimental evidence of electronic and optical interlayer resonances in graphene van der Waals heterostructure interfaces. Using spectroscopic mode of a low-energy electron microscope (LEEM) and Raman spectroscopy, researchers found an increase in the interlayer spacing of 30 degrees twisted bilayer graphene and observed a unique type of Fano resonance around the D and G modes of the graphene lattice vibrations. This robust Fano resonance is a direct result of quantum confinement and the interplay between discrete phonon states and the excitonic continuum.

Summary: Modern technologies drive the research on multicomponent nanosized materials with improved properties, which are determined by the atomic arrangement and interphase interactions. In this study, we investigated the formation of solid solutions in Ag-Cu nanoparticles across a wide size and temperature range using in situ TEM techniques. Our results provide insights into the mixing patterns and composition of phases in AgCu nanoparticles at the atomic level and construct the solid-state part of the Ag-Cu phase diagram for nanoparticles as small as 5 nm. We observed an asymmetric behavior of the solvus lines, with the content of Cu in Ag increasing with decreasing size, and a size-dependent terminal temperature Tterm for the existence of AgCu alloy nanoparticles in a vacuum.

Summary: Understanding electron irradiation effects is essential for electron microscopy and manipulating 2D materials. The displacement cross sections of monolayer hBN are measured, showing lower damage rates under better vacuum conditions. Electron irradiation can create single vacancies in hBN, with boron being more likely to be ejected. The damage at low energies cannot be explained by elastic knock-on and a theoretical description is developed.

Summary: Nitrate-loaded Zn/Al, Mg/Al, and Mg-Zn/Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized for slow-release of nitrate ions. Sodium alginate was used to encapsulate Mg/Al LDH to further slow down the release. The slow release properties of LDHs were evaluated in tap water, soil solution, and plant growth experiments. The LDHs were found to supply adequate nitrate to plants while maintaining availability over extended periods, and also demonstrated the ability to increase soil pH.

Summary: Rutile nano-TiO2 was loaded onto the surface of sericite to prepare sericite-rutile composite particles, which were then modified with HDTMS and sprayed onto the substrates to form sericite-rutile/HDTMS composite coatings with UV shielding and superhydrophobic self-cleaning properties. The coating exhibited good UV shielding rate and remained superhydrophobic after UV irradiation. The hierarchical structure of the sericite-rutile composite and the low surface energy of HDTMS contributed to the superhydrophobicity and UV shielding effect of the coating.

Summary: Environmental conditions significantly influence clay minerals, and studying clay sediments in tropical lakes can provide valuable insights into past environmental conditions. In this study, multiproxy records from sediment cores of three crater lakes in central Mexico were analyzed. The results showed that disordered kaolinite, formed through hydrolysis and hydrothermal alteration, was the predominant mineral in the sediments. The abundance of kaolinite varied in relation to organic carbon and organic matter-related elements, and showed opposite trends with lithogenic elements. Geochemical data suggested that the increase in kaolinite abundance is linked to the formation of organo-mineral aggregates and lake level changes in closed basins.

Summary: The interaction between talc and the depressor CMC was investigated through molecular dynamics simulation and density functional theory calculation. It was found that CMC showed stronger adsorption on the edge plane of talc due to enhanced interactions with polar groups and water molecules. The study also revealed specific interactions between H atoms in CMC and O atoms in the edge plane, as well as between O atoms in CMC and Si, Mg atoms in the edge plane. Hydration shells on the basal and edge planes of talc were examined to explain the phenomenon.
