Summary: Developing low-cost and self-supported bifunctional catalysts is crucial for highly efficient water splitting devices. In this study, nano-NiFe2O4 was directly grown onto iron foil surface and Sn4+ was introduced into the NiFe2O4. The resulting Sn-NiFe2O4/IF showed low overpotentials and high current densities during oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), making it a promising catalyst for large-scale hydrogen production.

Summary: In this study, a series of structurally rigid cyclooctyl-fused iminopyridine iron complexes were synthesized and used with methylaluminoxane for isoprene polymerization. The extent of steric hindrance of the ligand framework was found to significantly affect catalytic performance, with less hindrance leading to better activity and stability.

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.

Summary: The reaction of (tBuO(2)CN)(2) with 9-BBN leads to the formation of a bicyclic heterocyclic compound, while its reactions with BF3 or [Et3Si][B(C6F5)(4)] result in the isolation of different compounds. Computational studies reveal that the steric and electronic properties of the Lewis acid are important in the formation of one of the compounds.

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: This study successfully fabricated visible-light-responsive three-dimensional core-shell CoSe2/ZnIn2S4 heterostructures and achieved attractive activity in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The presence of CoSe2 improved light absorption and accelerated charge transfer kinetics. The strong interaction between CoSe2 and ZnIn2S4 reduced charge recombination, further enhancing photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution.

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: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid porous multi-functional materials consisting of metal ions/clusters and organic ligands. Luminescent MOFs (LMOFs) exhibit both porosity and light emission, making them suitable for sensing applications. This review provides an overview of recent advancements and device applications of LMOFs as chemical sensors for ions, volatile organic compounds, biomolecules, and environmental toxins. The detection mechanism and the correlation between material properties and structure are also discussed. This analysis serves as a valuable reference for the preparation and efficient application of targeted LMOFs.

Summary: Isolating propane from propylene is crucial to obtain purified propylene in petrochemical industries. Cryogenic distillation has been used for this purpose, but it is energy-intensive and costly. Membrane technology, particularly mixed matrix membranes with inorganic nanomaterials, has emerged as a promising alternative due to its low energy consumption and high efficiency. Metalorganic frameworks (MOFs) are explored as potential fillers, but polymer plasticization and inadequate compatibility limit their industrial application. Various strategies, including MOF/polymer selection and engineering, have been proposed to enhance the performance of MOF-MMM for propylene separation. This article reviews these strategies and discusses the challenges and future prospects for industrial application.
