Summary: Rational design of CoTe2@MoS2 nanocomposites with stacked CoTe2 as the core and intertwined MoS2 nanosheets as the shell exhibits excellent electromagnetic wave absorbing (EMWA) properties. The CoTe2@MoS2 composite has the minimum reflection loss value of -68.10 dB at 4.71 GHz when the mass ratio of MoS2 and CoTe2 is 1:1. The effective absorption bandwidth value may reach 4.64 GHz (13.08-17.72 GHz) at a matching thickness of 1.60 mm with filler loading of 50 wt.%. The optimized impedance matching, multiple scattering and reflections, dipole polarization, conductive loss, and interfacial polarization contribute to the extraordinary EMWA property.

Summary: Components manipulation and structure engineering have been effective approaches for tailoring electromagnetic parameters. However, the integration of controllable architectural and compositional complexity into one multiple-layer heterostructure remains a challenge, and there is a lack of correlative quantized modulation of EM parameters. In this study, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hybrids and derived sulfides are ingeniously fabricated, leading to enhanced EMW absorption capacity through quantized modulation of EM parameters and improved impedance matching.

Summary: In this study, a composite material with Co/C particles embedded in carbon networks was synthesized, showing higher electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (SE) than pure carbon networks. The remarkable performance is attributed to the aligned carbon networks and the Co/C particles, which can regulate the SE by changing the angle between the fiber orientation direction and the direction of the incident EM-wave electric field and enhance the shielding performance through catalytic graphitization. The composite material has the potential to be used as efficient biomass-based electromagnetic attenuation materials.

Summary: This study focuses on COFs-based photocatalysts, in which a 2D fully conjugated ethylene-linked COF (BTT-BPy-COF) with active sites was fabricated. A post-protonation strategy was employed to fine-tune the active sites, leading to improved charge-separation efficiency and increased hydrophilicity. The optimized BTT-BPy-PCOF exhibited a remarkable H-2 evolution rate under visible light, surpassing a biphenyl-based COF 6 times. Post-protonation was proven to be a potential universal strategy for promoting photocatalytic H-2 evolution and providing important guidance for the design of highly efficient organic semiconductor photocatalysts.

Summary: The pore environment and aggregated structure of porous materials are crucial for their properties, especially mass transfer. In this study, a COF-to-COF transformation method was used to prepare microtubular COFs. This transformation was achieved by decomposing C-3-symmetric guanidine units into C-2-symmetric hydrazine units, resulting in crystal transformation of COFs. The hierarchical structure obtained with varying reaction times led to enhanced mass transfer properties, as demonstrated by adsorption measurement and chemical catalytic reactions. This self-template strategy was also successfully applied to four other COFs with different building units.

Summary: This work presents a continuous solvent extraction method for the separation of cobalt and nickel in a millifluidic system using Cyphos IL 101 (C101) as the extractant. The optimal conditions for extraction performance and solvent properties were determined by investigating the effects of channel length, flow rate, and temperature. The performance of a developed manifold structure was compared to a single-channel system, and excellent separation results were achieved. The continuous separation process using the manifold structure resulted in high purity cobalt and nickel products.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
