Summary: This study prepared magnetic Zr(IV)-ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid (EDTMPA) hybrids for the capture of U(VI) from aqueous solutions. The influences of pH, adsorption period, initial concentration, and temperature were investigated, and the desorption and reusability of the materials were explored. The experiment demonstrated that MZrOP-0.2-100 is a potentially effective material for removing U(VI) from radioactive solutions.

Summary: By text-mining 29,900 solid-state synthesis recipes from the scientific literature, we established a knowledge base that enables the recommendation of precursor materials for the synthesis of a novel target material. Our data-driven approach learns the chemical similarity of materials and mimics human synthesis design, achieving a success rate of at least 82% when proposing precursor sets for unseen test target materials.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of varying key reaction parameters on the stoichiometry of zirconium oxy-carbide films prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering. The composition of the films was confirmed by depth profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron microscopy analysis. The study also demonstrates the formation of well-defined metal/oxy-carbide interfaces by embedding ordered Cu particles in zirconium oxy-carbide matrices.

Summary: We demonstrate the growth of polymer-Al-O(-R) hybrid thin films using sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS). By using an organic coreactant, the hybrid thin films expanded with a highly uniform distribution of the chemical composition. This expansion is enabled by the large free volumes created by the long and flexible chains of the organic coreactant, allowing for continued incorporation of SIS precursors into the structures. This method will be valuable for vacuum deposition techniques in creating organic-inorganic hybrid thin films and porous inorganic films with tunable properties.

Summary: An in-depth study on the physicochemical properties of [NH3(CH2)(2)NH3](2)CdBr6, an organic-inorganic hybrid, was conducted to understand its crystal structure, phase transition, structural geometry, and molecular dynamics, which are essential for its application in batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. The monoclinic crystal structure of [NH3(CH2)(2)NH3](2)CdBr6 was determined, and its thermal stability was confirmed up to 580 K. The NMR chemical shifts of H-1, C-13, N-14, and Cd-113 varied with temperature, indicating changes in the local field surroundings and surrounding environments of the cation and anion. The coordination geometry around Cd in the CdBr6 anion and the coordination environment around N in the cation were found to be associated with changes in the N-H center dot center dot center dot Br hydrogen bond, providing critical information about the mechanism of organic-inorganic hybrid compounds.
