The search for novel materials for effective storage and separation of CO molecules is a critical issue for eliminating or lowering this harmful greenhouse gas. In this paper, we investigate the potential application of a porphyrin-like porous fullerene (CN) as a promising material for CO storage and separation using thorough density functional theory calculations. The results show that CO is physisorbed on bare CN, implying that this material cannot be used for efficient CO storage. Coating CN with Ca atoms, on the other hand, can greatly improve the adsorption strength of CO molecules due to polarization and charge-transfer effects. Furthermore, the average adsorption energy for each of the maximum 24 absorbed CO molecules on the fully decorated CaCN fullerene is -0.40 eV, which fulfills the requirement needed for efficient CO storage (-0.40 to -0.80 eV). The Ca coated CN fullerene also have a strong potential for CO separation from CO/H, CO/CH, and CO/N mixtures.

The first coordination shell is considered crucial in determining the performance of single atom catalysts (SACs), but the significance of the second coordination shell has been overlooked. In this study, we developed a post-doping strategy to realize predictable and controlled modulation on the second coordination shell. By incorporating a P atom into the second coordination shell of a porphyrin-like Pt SAC, the charge density at the Fermi level of Pt single atom increases, enhancing its intrinsic activity.

With effective utilization of the catalytic site, single-atom catalysts (SACs) supported by nitrogen atoms surrounding built-in pores of two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as porphyrin/phthalocyanine-based covalent organic frameworks, have been highly promising electrocatalysts in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) processes for the air electrode of the metal-air battery. However, the number of stable single-atom anchoring sites, i.e.

Finding and developing effective targeted drug delivery systems has emerged as an attractive approach for treating a wide range of diseases. In the present study, the potential of alkaline earth metal functionalized porphyrin-like porous CN fullerenes for delivering 5-fluorouracil (5FU) anticancer drug is assessed using density functional theory calculations. The goal is to evaluate how the addition of alkaline earth metals to CN enhances the adsorption capabilities of this system towards 5FU drug.
