Summary: In this study, a highly crystalline and two-dimensional covalent organic framework (PTz-An-COF) based on phenothiazine was developed, which exhibited a low bandgap (1.92 eV) and broad visible-light absorption. Interestingly, PTz-An-COF demonstrated efficient photoinitiation for visible-light-induced radical polymerization of methyl acrylate. Remarkably, PTz-An-COF as a photoinitiator could be easily recycled and maintained the same catalytic activity. This work provides new insights into the development of high-performance heterogeneous photocatalysts for radical polymerization.

Summary: This study presents a new strategy to prepare self-exfoliated covalent organic polymer (COP) nanosheets through reversible condensation of hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP) with phenyltrimethoxysilane. The prepared COP can be easily exfoliated into nanosheets with a thickness of 1.07 nm due to its pentacoordinated silicon center and negatively charged surface. Moreover, this COP shows high selectivity as an electrochemical sensor for dopamine, with a detection range of 0.1-120 mu M and a detection limit of 52 nM (S/N = 3).

Summary: The current obstacles hindering the development and industrial application of phase change materials (PCMs) include low thermal conductivity, high cost, leakage, and poor mechanical performance. This study aims to enhance the thermal conductivity and power capacity of PCMs by using abundant biomass-derived carbon as supports. Cellulase is used to hydrolyze cellulose in wood and create micropores, which leads to effective construction of adsorption sites during the subsequent pyrolysis process. The resulting hierarchical porous carbon infiltrates polyethylene glycol (PEG) and enhances crystallization. This strategy combines good mechanical performance, high energy storage capacity, anisotropic thermal conductivity, and improved thermal stability. Furthermore, the composite PCMs loaded with carbon quantum dots (CQDs) integrate fluorescent function and thermal energy storage, providing potential applications in specific equipment.

Summary: Photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization (PODS) using efficient Ce-doped MIL-125-NH2 photocatalysts was successfully achieved for the removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) under mild reaction conditions. The high performance was attributed to the high surface area and the formation of Ce-Ti-oxo clusters, as well as the valence transformation of Ce4 + /Ce3 + and Ti4 + /Ti3 + redox mediators. Increasing the reaction temperature was found to enhance the PODS performance, and a thermo-enhanced PODS mechanism was proposed.

Summary: In this study, a heterointerface was constructed by modifying CeO2 nanoparticles on Co3O4 nanowires supported by nickel foam, which facilitated the structural evolution of catalysts and charge transfer. The NF@Co3O4/CeO2 exhibited higher conversion, yield, and efficiency compared to NF@Co3O4 and NF@CeO2 due to the establishment of the heterointerface. Density-functional theory calculations showed that the heterointerface effectively regulated intermediate adsorption and promoted electron transfer, leading to improved performance of electocatalytic 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation reaction (HMFOR).

Summary: Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are highly versatile catalytic platforms for hydrogenation reactions due to their tunable pore size, structural diversity, large specific surface area, and functional tunability. MOFs can integrate various hydrogenation active sites, including metal nodes, organic ligands, and diverse pore structure-constrained guest species, such as metal nanoparticles. Additionally, MOFs can serve as templates/precursors for the synthesis of porous carbon materials, metal-based compounds, and their composites, leading to single-atom catalysts with superior activity. This review summarizes the progress in MOFs-based materials for catalytic hydrogenation, focusing on preparation strategies, structural design, and the synergy between active sites and structural properties, as well as the theoretical simulation studies of hydrogenation reaction pathways.
