Summary: Efficient cathode-ray scintillation coordination polymers with good stability at high voltage were prepared by conjugating luminescent groups with d(10) metal ions. The synergistic effect of inorganic metal and organic ligand suppresses the self-quenching of the conjugated luminescent groups and enhances the scintillation performance. This work provides new ideas for the design of new field-emission displays and cathode-ray scintillation materials.

Summary: Metal-organic framework (MOF) and covalent organic framework (COF) hybrid materials, with their complementary advantages and suitable band gap, have attracted significant attention in photocatalysis research. The formation of a novel sunflower-like strong pi-pi bond stacking MOF@COF hybrid platform was achieved by introducing a preformed synthetic COF into the MOF precursor solution and modulating its morphology. The synthesized MOF on the COF hybrid platform exhibited excellent catalytic activity in the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction under simulated sunlight, with impressive CH4 yieldrate, apparent quantum yield, and methane selectivity.

Summary: Two functional fluorinated ligands were synthesized by modifying a fluorinated benzoic acid, leading to the construction of two isostructural 3D Cd2+ coordination polymers with excellent chemical and thermal stability in water systems. One of the polymers showed more efficient fluorescence sensing towards tetracycline with a lower detection limit and rapid response in comparison to the other. The fluorescence quenching mechanism was explored through experimental data and density functional theory calculations.

Summary: A series of bimetallic UiO-66-NH2(Zr-Hf) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were prepared using a green hydrothermal method and tested for their photocatalytic and piezo-catalytic properties. Among them, UN(0.75Zr) showed the highest piezo-photocatalytic activity. The degradation rate for 40 mg L-1 rhodamine B (Rh B) reached 96.78% within 30 minutes, which was about 4.66 and 3.30 times higher than that of photocatalysis and piezo-catalysis, respectively. The study also identified the main reactive oxidizing substances and analyzed the intermediates generated during Rh B degradation, providing insights into a reasonable degradation pathway.

Summary: There is a growing need for rapid and sensitive analysis of uranyl ions and compounds, which surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) can provide due to its single molecule detection capabilities. Recent studies focus on the fabrication of substrates, quantitative detection of uranyl ions, and structural analysis, as well as explanations for the Raman enhancement mechanisms. Future developments in on-site detection are also discussed to evaluate the practical applications of SERS.

Summary: In this study, MnCo2S4 nanosheet catalyst was successfully synthesized and found to exhibit superior performance in hydrogen evolution. Compared to MnCo2S4, MnCo2S4 showed low overpotentials, moderate Tafel slope, and excellent sustainability. The outstanding performance can be attributed to the increased number of electrochemically active sites and enhanced electronic conductivity on the catalyst surface.

Summary: Networks are important for describing relationships between people, roads between cities, reactions between chemicals, and other interactions. Bipartiteness, dividing the network into two groups, can facilitate the study of the network's structure. We have developed an algorithm that can find a near-optimal bipartisation within a reasonable time frame and used it to uncover the hidden structure of the CSD cocrystal network.
