Summary: Metastable alpha ''-Fe16N2 is considered a good candidate as a semi-hard magnetic material, and in this study, it was found that only when M=Al and V were used as substitution elements for Fe, the desired nanoparticles could be obtained. This suggests the importance of the substitution elements in the synthesis process.

Summary: Through integrated experimental and computational studies, the influence of pyrrolic-N concentration and position on the absorption of pyrrolic-N-rich carbon dots was comprehensively elucidated. It was found that a mid-site pyrrolic-N is generated after the pyrrolic-N concentration exceeds 10%, while edge-site pyrrolic-N induces a frontier orbital hybridization, reducing bandgap energy. This study sheds light on the design and optimization of pyrrolic-N-rich carbon dots for the first near infrared window responsive materials in biomedical applications.

Summary: By studying the formation and framework thickness of macroporous three-way catalyst (TWC) particles synthesized using the template-assisted aerosol process, it was found that the template concentration played a crucial role in maintaining the macroporous structure and controlling the framework thickness between the macropores. The increase in template concentration can reduce the framework thickness of the nanoporous material and improve the mass transfer coefficient.
