Summary: This paper presents the first ever in situ 3D electron diffraction (ED) experiment in a gas environment, investigating the structure evolution of SrFeO2.5 material. The results show that SrFeO2.5 undergoes transformation into SrFeO2.75 and SrFeO3-delta structures under O-2 flow. However, during the reduction process in H-2 flow, the crystals return to their initial structure but without regaining the complete ordered structure.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of outer electrolyte concentration and volume on the spacing coefficient in Liesegang phenomenon. The spacing coefficient was found to be dependent on the volume and concentration of the outer electrolyte.

Summary: TiO2 nanoarrays grown heterogeneously on substrate surfaces prefer solvents with moderate dielectric constants, which can be partially dissolved in aqueous solution and modulate reaction rates during solvothermal synthesis. Organic solvents with low dielectric constants may lead to a complete separation between precursors and aqueous solution, slowing down the overall reaction and causing insufficient growth of nanoarrays. The optimal morphology for TiO2 nanoarrays, with high specific surface areas and including cordierite substrate, is achieved through a combination of 2-butanone and titanium (IV) butoxide as solvent and precursor, respectively.

Summary: Carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCSU) is an effective method for reducing CO2 emissions. Amine aqueous solutions are efficient for CO2 capture due to their large capacity and high selectivity. However, solid adsorbents have gained attention in recent years for CO2 adsorption due to their simplicity and high efficiency. Porous organic polymers (POPs) have shown promise as solid adsorbents for CO2 capture due to their high surface area, adjustable pore size, and easy functionalization. This review provides a detailed overview of different POPs developed in recent years, discussing their design strategies, unique structures, and highlighting the opportunities and challenges associated with POPs.

Summary: In this study, MoSe2 nanoflowers (NFs) were utilized as piezoelectric nanozymes for the dual-driven catalytic eradication of multi-drug-resistant bacterial biofilms. The piezoelectricity of MoSe2 NFs, combined with their enzyme-mimic activity, led to a significant increase in oxidative stress in the biofilms under ultrasound irradiation, resulting in a 4.0 log10 reduction of bacterial cells. In vivo studies showed that the MoSe2 NFs effectively reduced the burden of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in mice under ultrasound control. Additionally, the surface coating of antioxidant poly(ethyleneimine) minimized off-target damage and promoted wound healing.

Summary: Single-atom catalysts with adjacent Fe nanoclusters supported on nitrogen-doped carbon aerogels show enhanced oxygen reduction reaction activity and anti-oxidation stability, resulting from increased 3d electron density and decreased magnetic moment of Fe atomic centers. A flexible zinc-air battery using these catalysts achieves remarkable performance, even at -40 degrees C, with high open circuit voltage, power density, and excellent durability after 2300 continuous cycles. These results highlight the significance of electronic manipulation in enhancing the durability of single atom catalysts.

Summary: Development of heterojunction is an effective strategy to enhance the hydrogen production performance of photocatalysts. In this study, a 2D/2D Z-scheme heterojunction-coupled Zn0.4Cd0.6S with g-C3N4 was fabricated using in situ hydrothermal approach. The sheet-on-sheet architecture allowed full contact of heterojunction, facilitating interfacial charge transfer and increasing surface-active sites. Moreover, the Zn-N coordination bond provided a strong interfacial interaction and spatially separated photogenerated charges along the Z-scheme mechanism. The optimal photocatalyst exhibited high hydrogen production rates (7.69 mmol g-1 h-1) under visible-light irradiation without any cocatalysts, four times higher than the g-C3N4 photocatalyst with Pt as a cocatalyst. The catalyst also showed long-term stability of up to 50 hours. Thus, a direct Z-scheme heterojunction with intimate contact and a well-definite bridging chemical bond holds promise for hydrogen generation.

Summary: An efficient method for phosphate removal from wastewater is urgently needed due to the environmental issue caused by excessive phosphorus. In this study, calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-LDHs) and six amino acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-amino acid-LDHs) were prepared and compared for their phosphate adsorption performance. L-Aspartic acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-Asp-LDHs) exhibited the highest phosphate adsorption capacity and faster removal rate compared to CaAl-LDHs. The phosphate adsorption mechanism on CaAl-Asp-LDHs involved electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonds, complexation, and ion exchange. This environmentally friendly material shows promising potential for efficient phosphate removal from aquatic environments.

Summary: Studying the diffusion properties of hydrogen is important for designing new proton conductors. In the past, the chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in proton conductors was usually obtained through a manual calculation method, resulting in difficulty in controlling the calculation accuracy. To address this issue, a mathematical algorithm and C language computer program were developed to calculate the chemical diffusion coefficient based on Fick's second law and Romberg numerical integral. The algorithm showed high precision and powerful computing function, and has the potential to replace the manual calculation method in calculating the chemical diffusion coefficient for hydrogen in proton conductors.
