Summary: Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with quantum confinement and size effects show great potential for sensing applications. This computational study investigates the adsorption performance of pristine and transition metal-doped coronene GQDs to hazardous gases. The results suggest that doping with chromium (Cr) or nickel (Ni) enhances the gas adsorption performance, with Cr-doped GQDs showing strong interaction with gas molecules and potential as a gas remover, and Ni-doped GQDs showing potential as a CNCl sensor.

Summary: Fe-based nanowires containing nonmagnetic elements, fabricated using a pulse electrodeposition method in porous anodic alumina membranes, exhibit magnetic tunability. The magnetic properties of Fe100-xSnx NW arrays, with a diameter of about 35 nm, such as coercivity and squareness values, decrease with increasing Sn content. The structure of the FeSn NWs, dominated by Fe or FeSn alloy crystal phase, can be either single domain or pseudo-single domain states depending on the Sn content.

Summary: Bioorthogonal chemistry, with its simplicity, high efficiency, and chemo-selectivity, has great potential in pre-targeting applications. Synthetic host-guest pairs, which have small molecular sizes, strong chemical stability, fast conjugation rate, tunable binding affinity, and easy modification, provide a novel non-covalent bioorthogonal tool for pre-targeting. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the development of synthetic host-guest pairs as novel bioorthogonal tools for pre-targeting, serving as a reference for researchers interested in improving pre-targeting.

Summary: This study focuses on improving the performance of all-small-molecule organic solar cells (ASM-OSCs) by designing and synthesizing novel donors with suitable crystallinity. It was found that the introduction of chlorine atoms enhances the crystallinity of blend films but also leads to larger phase separation and more defects, resulting in lower power conversion efficiency. On the other hand, donors with appropriate crystallinity exhibited smaller domain size, more suitable crystallinity, and improved exciton dissociation efficiency, charge transport efficiency, and carrier mobility.

Summary: Different ligand functionalized bimetallic organic framework composites with phosphotungstic acid (HPW) were prepared and used as catalysts for the esterification of methanol with oleic acid. The HPW/(Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO2 catalyst showed the most promising catalytic features, including the highest number of strong Bronsted and Lewis acid sites, wider pores, higher surface area, and synergistic catalytic effects with the (Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO2 framework. The catalytic activity of the HPW/(Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO2 catalyst was higher than other catalysts, and it also exhibited good reusability over multiple cycles.
