Article Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of the MIL series of materials have been widely studied as a result of their high tunability and the diversity of structure types that exist for these typically M containing frameworks. We explored the use of amide-functionalized ligands in the synthesis of Fe-MIL-101 as a means to tune the water stability and water vapor adsorption in this important class of frameworks. We further show that slow leaching of Fe from NdFeB magnets can afford MIL-101 or MIL-88 under various conditions where the phase of the framework is controlled by length of the carbon chains on amide substituents. NdFeB can also be used to prepare these materials at room temperature in the absence of additional metal salts.

Electronic Structure Reconfiguration of Zn-NB Sites for Enhanced Fenton-Like Catalysis.

Despite growing interest in single-atom catalysts (SACs) for Fenton-like reactions, zinc (Zn)-based SACs remain unexplored due to the inherent inertness of Zn, whose fully occupied 3d electronic configuration limits redox activity. Here, we overcome this limitation by introducing boron (B) atoms to reconfigure the electronic structure of Zn-N coordination sites, yielding an activated catalyst denoted as Zn-NBC. This electronic modulation transforms inert Zn-N sites into catalytically active centers (Zn-NB ), enabling significantly enhanced Fenton-like activity.

Structurally colored colloids, or photonic pigments, offer a sustainable alternative to conventional dyes, yet existing systems are constrained by limited morphologies and complex synthesis. In particular, achieving angle-independent color typically relies on disordered inverse architectures formed from synthetically demanding bottlebrush block copolymers (BCPs), hindering scalability and functional diversity. Here, we report a conceptually distinct strategy to assemble three-dimensional inverse photonic glass microparticles using amphiphilic linear BCPs (poly(styrene-block-4-vinylpyridine), PS-b-P4VP) via an emulsion-templated process.

Renewable electricity-driven water electrolysis stands at the forefront of clean hydrogen production, playing a crucial role in achieving a net-zero carbon future. Interfacial water is fundamental to this process, dictating reaction kinetics, proton and electron transfer dynamics, and mass transport at the electrode-electrolyte interface. Effective tuning of the structure of interfacial water is imperative for enhancing catalytic activity, efficiency, and long-term stability.

Mechanotransduction plays a pivotal role in shaping cellular behavior including migration, differentiation, and proliferation. To investigate this mechanism more accurately further, this study came up with a novel elastomeric substrate with a stiffness gradient using a sugar-based replica molding technique combined with a two-layer PDMS system. The efficient water solubility of candy allows easy release, creating a smooth substrate.

Electrochemical water splitting offers a sustainable strategy for hydrogen production, yet the kinetic sluggishness of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to high activation barriers remains a critical challenge. NiFe layered double hydroxide (NiFe LDH) is a promising OER catalyst in alkaline media, but its performance suffers from limited active site exposure and insufficient durability. Herein, the rational design of a Ta-doped NiFe LDH (NiFeTa LDH) were achieved a facile hydrothermal method.
