Article Abstract
We present a multi-instrument experiment to study the effects of tropospheric thunderstorms on the mesopause region and the lower ionosphere. Sodium (Na) lidar and ionospheric observations by two digital ionospheric sounders are used to study the variation in the neutral metal atoms and metallic ions above thunderstorms. An enhanced ionospheric sporadic E layer with a downward tidal phase is observed followed by a subsequent intensification of neutral Na number density with an increase of 600 cm in the mesosphere. In addition, the Na neutral chemistry and ion-molecule chemistry are considered in a Na chemistry model to simulate the dynamical and chemical coupling processes in the mesosphere and ionosphere above thunderstorms. The enhanced Na layer in the simulation obtained by using the ionospheric observation as input is in agreement with the Na lidar observation. We find that the intensification of metallic layered phenomena above thunderstorms is associated with the atmospheric tides, as a result of the troposphere-mesosphere-ionosphere coupling.

The sustainable synthesis of bio-based monomers from renewable biomass intermediates is a central goal in green chemistry and biorefinery innovation. This study introduces a synergistic catalytic-enzymatic strategy for the efficient and eco-friendly oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a key monomer for next-generation biodegradable plastics. The catalytic phase employed non-noble metal catalysts, MnO and Co-Mn supported on activated carbon (Co-Mn/AC), under mild batch reaction conditions at 90 °C.

The tunable photoluminescence (PL) response of Bi3+/Sb3+ doped zero-dimensional perovskite [(CH3)3S]2SnCl6 via pressure-induced structure evolution is investigated using high-pressure techniques and density-functional theory calculations. In contrast to the rigidification of [SnCl6]2-/[SbCl6]3- octahedra by Sb3+ ions, Bi3+ ions trigger the distortion of the [SnCl6]2-/[BiCl6]3- octahedra at a relatively lower pressure, and even a cubic-to-trigonal phase transition of Bi3+ singly doped [(CH3)3S]2SnCl6 occurs at higher pressures due to its pressure sensitivity, wherein, the organic (CH3)3S+ chains enhance the flexibility of [(CH3)3S]2SnCl6 host structure. For Bi3+/Sb3+ doubly doped [(CH3)3S]2SnCl6, the two metal ion dopants interact with each other, accompanied by synergistic lattice distortion, resulting in novel self-trapped exciton emission behaviors in the host that is distinct from the single-ion doping effects.
