Summary: This study tests the hypothesis that neutral, heavy-atom stibine donors can enhance spin-orbit coupling on light 3d transition metals. Through a novel synthetic route, the researchers successfully coordinated a paramagnetic 3d metal ion cobalt(II) with neutral stibine ligands. The results reveal that heavy pnictogens can increase the D value, indicating a larger zero-field splitting. The precise mechanism of the heavy atom effect on the D value remains unclear.

Summary: In this study, an n-n type heterojunction with Cu-N and B-N dual active sites was synthesized by in situ growth of a conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) [Cu-3(HITP)(2)] on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets. The optimized Cu-3(HITP)(2)@h-BN exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction performance with NH3 production of 146.2 μg/h mg(cat) and a Faraday efficiency of 42.5% due to its high porosity, abundant oxygen vacancies, and Cu-N/B-N dual active sites. The construction of the n-n heterojunction efficiently modulated the state density of active metal sites, facilitating charge transfer at the catalyst-reactant interface. Additionally, the NH3 production pathway catalyzed by the Cu-3(HITP)(2)@h-BN heterojunction was elucidated by in situ FT-IR spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. This work presents an alternative approach to designing advanced electrocatalysts based on conductive MOFs.

Summary: By hybridizing TiO2 photocatalyst with CaCO3 as the wall material and using linseed oil as the core material, self-cleaning and self-repairing microcapsules were produced using in-situ precipitation. The microcapsules were evaluated for their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, and self-cleaning and self-repairing properties. Results showed that the microcapsules had a rough and spherical surface, along with excellent thermal stability and repeatability. Increasing the dosage of microcapsules significantly increased the degradation rate of methylene blue, while the self-repairing effect of micro-cracks became more evident. The optimal microcapsule dosage was found to be 7.0 wt%.
