The complexity of secondary building units (SBUs), an indicator that can not only be calculated but also visually estimated, is proposed as a highly indicative predictor of hydrogen storage performance. With optimal pore sizes and void fractions, selecting COFs consisting of simple SBUs greatly improves the probability of top-performing COFs towards the ultimate DOE hydrogen storage target, as an easy principle for experimentalists to select hydrogen adsorbents.

Conventional acid-catalyzed acetalization faces significant challenges in catalyst recovery and poses environmental concerns. Herein, we develop a CeO-supported Pd single-atom catalyst (Pd/CeO) that eliminates the reliance on liquid acids by creating a localized H-rich microenvironment through heterolytic H activation. X-ray absorption near-edge structure and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analyses confirm the atomic dispersion of Pd via Pd-O-Ce coordination, while density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) that facilitate electron transfer from CeO oxygen to Pd, downshifting the Pd d-band center and optimizing H activation.

The synthesis of biomass-derived nanocarbons via ball milling has emerged as an innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective strategy in the field of nanotechnology. This review comprehensively explores the principles, mechanisms, and process parameters that influence the production of high-quality nanocarbons from biomass using ball milling. This process efficiently transforms biomass residues into nanoscale carbon, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, and nanofibers, with tunable physicochemical properties tailored for advanced applications.

Developing efficient and durable catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic media is essential for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). However, catalyst instability caused by lattice oxygen (O) depletion and metal dissolution remains a critical barrier. Here, we propose an oxophilic-site-mediated dynamic oxygen replenishment mechanism (DORM), in which O actively participates in O-O bond formation and is continuously refilled by water-derived species.

A novel electrocatalyst, zirconium ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) (ZrFeO NPs), was synthesized through coprecipitation and calcination processes at 300 °C and 500 °C using iron rust. The ZrFeO NPs were used as catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction. Furthermore, these NPs in an alkaline medium exhibited superior properties of a fractional order supercapacitor, based on which a prototype device was fabricated to demonstrate its energy storage applications.

The coexistence of pharmaceuticals and microorganisms in source separated urine poses a risk for the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), especially when urine-based fertilizers are applied to soils. While prior studies have investigated pathogen inactivation in source-separated wastewater matrices, few have evaluated the simultaneous fate of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) and their corresponding resistance genes (ARGs) in real urine matrices, particularly under alkaline conditions. Here, we studied the inactivation of β-lactamase-producing and vancomycin-resistant and the degradation of their respective ARGs ( and A) in alkalized, unhydrolyzed urine (pH 10.
