Summary: This article reviews the progress in atomic structure theory, focusing on superheavy elements and their predicted ground state configurations that are important for determining an element's position in the periodic table. Understanding the electronic structure and correlations in the regime of large atomic numbers requires solving the Dirac equation accurately in strong Coulomb fields and considering quantum electrodynamic effects. The article specifically addresses the challenges associated with dealing with the many-particle Dirac equation and discusses the future possibility of conducting many-electron atomic structure calculations beyond a critical nuclear charge. The nature of the resulting Gamow states within a rigged Hilbert space formalism is highlighted.

Summary: Research on the effect of graphene-coated substrates on regulating the commensurate epitaxial growth of ionic thin-films has shown significant impact. Recent studies have also explored the possibility of obtaining covalent-bonded stanene films through remote heteroepitaxy on monolayer graphene-covered Cu substrates. First-principles calculations were used to uncover the microscopic mechanisms behind these unusual remote interactions and the role of MLG in adatom growth.

Summary: Superatoms, which mimic elemental atoms in the periodic table, have opened up new possibilities for designing functional materials and catalysts. Recent research has focused on exploring active/inert superatoms in the gas phase and synthesizing ligand-protected metal cluster superatoms and superatomic solids. The accommodation of delocalized electrons in stabilizing metal clusters, particularly the superatomic orbitals formed by d-electrons of the transition metals, has been investigated. Notable superatomic features such as electronic open-and closed shells, aromaticity, and magnetism, especially for clusters of nonmagnetic elements, have been highlighted. A proposed four-dimensional image for the future three-dimensional periodic table aims to provide a convenient reference for designing and tailoring cluster-genetic materials.

Summary: Currently, the preparation of high-quality graphene dispersions is important for various industries. In this study, the effectiveness of resveratrol (RV) as a dispersing agent for graphene in aqueous solutions was evaluated. The results show that RV can effectively disperse graphene up to a concentration of 10 mg L-1, but the dispersing ability slightly decreases at higher concentrations. Furthermore, the fluorescence of RV dispersed in methanol is higher than in an aqueous medium.

Summary: We calculate the adsorption profiles of ionic free energy at an aqueous graphene interface using a self-consistent approach. We develop a microscopic model for water and treat the liquid and graphene on equal footing. By progressively evaluating the electronic and dipolar coupled electrostatic interactions, we demonstrate that including mutual graphene and water screening allows us to recover the precision of extensive quantum simulations remarkably. We also derive the potential of mean force evolution for several alkali cations.

Summary: The Online Periodic Table of Elements, also known as Ptable, is a Wikipedia-linked resource that organizes chemical elements based on their atomic number, electronic configuration, and recurring properties. A study was conducted to assess the impact of Ptable on students' understanding of element properties. A mixed research strategy was used, involving interviews, pre- and post-tests, and questionnaires. The findings showed a significant improvement in student performance after using Ptable, with teachers also acknowledging its effectiveness in teaching element properties. However, challenges such as slow internet connection and limited computer access were noted.

The findings show that all the considered doped graphene, except for As-doped graphene, can be highly active for HER, with hydrogen adsorption free energies (Delta G (H*)) close to the optimal value (Delta G (H*) = 0), ranging from -0.19 to 0.11 eV.

Summary: The metallization of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) can be achieved by chemically reducing the intermediate graphene oxide (GO) layer on the surface of the CFRP. The electrodeposition of Cu and Ni on reduced GO (rGO) follows different deposition modes, resulting in the formation of three-dimensional (3D) and free-standing metallic foils, respectively. The adhesion of deposited Ni is reduced due to the diffusion of H+ between rGO and CFRP, promoting the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and resulting in the formation of free-standing Ni foils.

Summary: Surface modification with rhodium through galvanic displacement significantly improves the catalytic activity of cobalt for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions in alkaline media. The overpotential for hydrogen and oxygen generation is reduced by 0.16 V and 0.06 V, respectively, after only 20 seconds of galvanic displacement. Density Functional Theory calculations indicate that the reactivity of the Rh-modified Co(0001) surface is different from that of the clean Co(0001) surface.

Summary: In order to efficiently replace fossil fuels and address the growing energy crisis, hydrogen production has become a focus. This study utilized Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate that hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) can be enhanced by hydrogen spillover to the support under certain conditions. Based on these findings, a series of reduced graphene-oxide-supported catalysts were synthesized and compared with pure metals for HER activity in alkaline media. The results showed that the support had a negative effect on Ag, Au, and Zn, but enhanced HER activity for Pt, Pd, Fe, Co, and Ni. The study provides insights into metal-support interface engineering for effective HER catalysts and guidelines for selecting novel catalyst-support combinations for electrocatalytic hydrogen production.

Summary: This study shows that carefully tuned viscose-derived activated carbon fibers can efficiently remove pesticides from liquid samples, even in complex matrices. The selected materials are not affected by complex matrices of real samples and can be regenerated multiple times without performance losses. Adsorptive removal of food contaminants can effectively improve food safety and quality, unlike other methods that negatively affect the nutritional value of food products. Data-based models can guide the synthesis of novel adsorbents for desired applications in food processing.

Summary: Highly efficient non-noble metal catalysts are crucial for hydrogen generation through electrolysis, and the synthesis of catalytic heterostructures containing established Ni with surface NiO, Ni(OH)(2), and NiOOH domains has shown promising results. This study investigates the intrinsic catalytic activity of pure Ni and the impact of partial electrochemical oxidation of magnetron sputter-deposited Ni surfaces through various experimental techniques and simulations. The results demonstrate that surface oxidation increases the intrinsic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of nickel and improves catalyst durability.

Summary: The development of new electrochromic materials and devices, such as smart windows, has a significant impact on energy efficiency in modern society. Nickel oxide is a crucial material in this technology, and its Ni-deficient form exhibits anodic electrochromism. By using DFT+U calculations, researchers have shown that the generation of nickel vacancies leads to the formation of hole polarons localized at nearby oxygen sites. These hole polarons can be filled by Li insertion or electron injection, resulting in a transition from an oxidized (colored) to a reduced (bleached) state. This study suggests a new mechanism for Ni-deficient NiO electrochromism based on the formation and annihilation of hole polarons in oxygen p-states rather than the change in Ni oxidation states (Ni2+/Ni3+ transition).

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
