Summary: The global energy sector is responsible for 75% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen, a low-carbon energy carrier, is considered crucial for transitioning to a decarbonized energy system. The concept of a hydrogen economy is seen as a key part of this transition. Liquid hydrogen, due to its high energy density, ambient storage pressure, purity, and mature technology, is suitable for long-distance transport and has gained increased attention. However, challenges such as energy-intensive liquefaction and hydrogen boil-off losses hinder the development of the liquid hydrogen system. This review focuses on the current state of technology related to the liquid hydrogen supply chain and discusses its potential role in the emerging global hydrogen economy.

Summary: Analyzing the effects of texture and chemical structure on hydrogen adsorption performance at room temperature provides a theoretical basis for constructing carbon-based hydrogen adsorbents. Biochar with different specific surface areas and oxygen content was prepared using thermal regulation technology. The results show that hydrogen storage characteristics of biochar at room temperature are influenced by specific surface area, oxygen content, and acidic surface groups. The Freundlich model accurately describes the hydrogen adsorption process. Biochar exhibits excellent hydrogen storage performance, with an adsorption capacity of 0.52 wt% at 50 bar.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.

Summary: In this work, two metal organic frameworks (MOFs) containing {Cu2I2} clusters, Eu-CuI-INA and Sr-K-CuI-INA, were synthesized and characterized. Both materials have a three-dimensional structure with {Cu2I2} clusters coordinated by INA(-) ligands and Eu3+ or Sr2+ ions. The Sr-K-CuI-INA material exhibited sensitive fluorescence sensing behaviors towards cysteine and nitro-bearing molecules, showing potential applications in bio and explosive molecule sensing. This work provides a good reference for designing fluorescent MOF probes containing CuI molecules.

Summary: Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have attracted great interest as a potential technology for grid-scale energy storage due to the wide distribution, low cost, and environmental friendliness of sodium resources. However, their implementation is hindered by low rate capability and cycling stability caused by the large ionic size of Na+. In this study, a three-dimensional nanoarchitectured coral-like CoSe2@N-doped carbon (CL-CoSe2@NC) was synthesized, and it exhibited improved sodium storage properties with better electrode kinetics and a stable SEI film.
