Summary: The study demonstrates that nicotinamide groups grafted on ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) can serve as stabilizers for RhNPs used as catalysts, forming spherical rhodium nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution. On the contrary, amine-functionalized OMS tends to form RhNP aggregates after catalytic reactions, affecting the reaction efficiency. Supported RhNPs also exhibit selective reduction of different groups and show high activity in reductive amination reactions.

Summary: A large surface area dendritic mesoporous silica material (KCC-1) was used to confine SnO2 nanoparticles, resulting in highly dispersed SnO2 NPs and improved CO catalytic oxidation activity. The Sn-x/KCC-1 catalysts exhibited excellent CO catalytic activity, with the Sn7@KCC-1 catalyst achieving 90% CO conversion at about 175 degrees C. The CO catalytic removal pathway was established, revealing the sequential steps: (1) CO -> CO3ads2-, (2) CO3ads2- -> CO2free+SnOx-1, (3) SnOx-1+O-2 -> SnOx+1. This study provides valuable insights into the design of high-efficiency non-precious metal catalysts for CO catalytic oxidation.

Summary: The catalytic performances of Silica Pillared Clay (SPC) supports synthesized with different amounts of silica were evaluated in Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation (CWPO) of phenol. The type of clay mineral and the loading of iron or titanium significantly affected the catalytic performance. Fe-loaded SPCs showed better CWPO performance than Ti-loaded ones. The amount of catalyst and the temperature increase promoted the conversion of phenol. The catalysts were more effective under lower pH conditions.

Summary: A negatively charged silica surface (-Si-O-) was formed on SBA-15 by treating it with alkali, and ultrafine Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs) were supported on SBA-15 via NaBH4 reduction. The as-prepared Pd/SBA15 catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic performance for dehydrogenation of H12-NEC. Characterization results revealed that Pd NPs were uniformly dispersed on the pore surface of SBA-15 with high Pd dispersion, and the coordination of Pd NPs with hydroxyl on the SBA-15 surface improved catalytic stability.

Summary: CSPEs are potential materials to replace hazardous organic liquid electrolytes in LIBs, as they are easy to process and allow better interfacial contact. However, their poor mechanical strength, low ionic conductivity, and limited cycling stability hinder their practical applications. By utilizing PPC as the host matrix and highly mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as the filler, a cost-effective, flexible, and stable CSPE was developed with enhanced physico-electrochemical properties. The interaction of Li+ with PPC and MSNs contributes to the excellent performance of the CSPE, opening up new possibilities for solid-state battery fabrication and engineering.

Summary: A modification strategy of separator is proposed to block dendritic deposition via dendritic channels and inhibit lithium dendrites in high-energy-density lithium metal batteries. A porous shield-like film is formed on the polypropylene separator using ultra-small silica nanospheres with unique dendritic mesopores. This film provides hierarchical pores for ion flux and abundant Si(OH)(x) groups for adsorbing TFSI- in the electrolyte and accelerating Li+ transport. The dendritic mesochannels diversify lithium growth directions and contribute to a more homogeneous deposition process, achieving dendrite-free deposition for stable cycles in Li|Li symmetric cells.

Summary: In this study, we prepared photo-switchable metal-organic frameworks decorated with Cu2O active sites, showing controllable guest capture. The obtained PMOFs exhibited higher adsorption capacity due to strong interaction with guest molecules. The azobenzene moieties in the PMOFs could freely switch between trans and cis isomerization upon light irradiation, leading to controlled exposure and shelter of the active sites for tailored guest capture.

Summary: Traditionally, chemical modifications were used to modulate material active sites at ground states. However, this study demonstrates that molecular skeletons (MSs) and adjoint electron-configuration (MS-AEC) can be tuned at excited states (ESs) without chemical modifications. By using a porphyrinic metal-organic framework, the carbon capture performance is enhanced through the tuning of MS-AEC and electrostatic-potentials, which can be further modulated by metal cations. This work highlights the availability of static ESs and the potential of nonchemical modifications.

Summary: Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with maximized atomic utilization of metal sites have shown significantly enhanced activity towards various reactions. In this study, a facile strategy for the preparation of SACs was developed by utilizing the inherent confined space between the template and silica walls in template-occupied mesoporous silica SBA-15.

Summary: In this study, a nondeforming photo-responsiveness methodology was successfully developed by utilizing Cu-TCPP framework as a sorbent on graphite. The sorbent generated two types of adsorption sites that can modulate electron density distribution of the graphite layer in the c-axis direction, which can further evolve due to photo-stimulated excited states. The CO adsorption capability was improved from 0.50 mmol g(-1) at the ground state to 1.24 mmol g(-1) (0 degrees C, 1 bar) with visible light radiation instead of photothermal desorption.

Summary: Stimuli-responsive porous materials based on detachment mechanism were developed by fabricating a detachable porous organic polymer, DT-POP-1, from the polymerization of anthracene-containing monomer (AnMon) induced by 365 nm UV light. DT-POP-1 could detach into the monomer AnMon under 275 nm UV light or heat, and this polymerization/detachment process was reversible. The significant difference in porosity and adsorption capacity caused by the detachment makes the present detachable porous polymer highly promising in adsorptive separation and drug delivery.

Summary: Adsorption is a widely applied technique for producing high-purity chemicals. Traditional adsorbents have inflexible properties and suffer from selectivity-desorption trade-off. Photoresponsive adsorbents provide new avenues for adsorption techniques by regulating active sites through steric hindrance or tunable interactions. This concept summarizes recent efforts on the fabrication and application of photoresponsive adsorbents with tunable active sites, and presents future opportunities and challenges of photoregulation on adsorptive sites.

Summary: In this study, a new strategy was developed to improve the dispersity, switchability, and utilization of active sites in light-switchable metal-organic cages (LMOCs) by isolating them into the targeted pores of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using light-assisted precise size control. Furthermore, reversible trans/cis isomerization of light-switchable motifs in the LMOCs was achieved upon UV/vis-light irradiation, allowing for maximum control over CO2 adsorption behavior. This work provides a facile route for the development of new composite materials with isolated light-switchable motifs for tunable CO2 adsorption.

Summary: In this study, a new type of adsorbent with photo-responsive active sites for adsorptive desulfurization is reported. Coumarin monomers were incorporated into MIL-101(Cr) to construct the photo-responsive adsorbents. When triggered by UV light (>310 nm), coumarin monomers undergo dimerization and form a cyclobutane structure, resulting in increased uptake of 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT). Under irradiation of 254 nm UV light, coumarin dimers can transform back to monomers, leading to decreased adsorption of 4,6-DMDBT. The change in adsorption amount between PMOF and the coumarin monomers and dimers is up to 62.8%. This study may open up new avenues for the fabrication of adsorbents with on-demand active sites for various applications.

The results suggest that IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S) is the shortest fragment size required for effective inhibition of Sulfs, and a trisulfated disaccharide is identified as the minimal fragment size of heparan sulfate for effective endosulfatase inhibition.

Summary: The self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrolysis was found to be helpful in a multistage chemo- and diastereoselective electrochemically promoted cyclodimerization of chalcones. Through a series of reductive events, densely functionalized cyclopentanes with five contiguous stereocenters were obtained (25 examples, yields up to 95%, dr values up to >20:1). Further experimental and electrochemical investigations indicated the crucial role of dynamic kinetic resolution of the aldol intermediate in the reaction mechanism.
