The chemisorption phenomenon is widely used in the explanation of catalysis, gas-solid reactions, and gas sensing mechanisms. Generally, some properties of adsorbents, such as adsorption sites and dispersion, can be predicted by traditional methods through the variation of the chemisorption capacity with the temperature, pressure, and gas-solid interaction potential. However, these methods could not capture the information of the interaction between adsorbents, the adsorption rate, and the competitive adsorption relationship between adsorbents. In this paper, metal oxide semiconductors (MOSs) are employed to study the adsorption behavior. The gas sensing responses (GSRs) of MOSs caused by the gas adsorption process are measured as a new method to capture some adsorption behaviors, which are impossible for the traditional methods to obtain. The following adsorption behaviors characterized by this new method are presented for the first time: (1) distinguishing the adsorption type using an example of two reducing gases: the adsorption type of the two gases is single-molecular layer adsorption in this work; (2) detecting the interaction between different gases: this will be a promising method to provide original characterization data in the fields of gas-solid reaction mechanisms and heterogeneous catalysis; and (3) measuring the adsorption rate based on the GSR.

The sluggish kinetics and diffusion of lithium polysulfide (LiPS) intermediates lead to the decline in the capacity and rate of high-energy lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Integrating adsorbents and electrocatalysts into the Li-S system is an effective strategy for suppressing the polysulfide shuttle and enhancing the redox kinetics of sulfur species. The disordered structure of the electrocatalysts exhibits significantly enhanced catalytic activity.

Silicon carbide (SiC) membranes combine exceptional chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability but suffer from surface inertness that precludes functionalization. Conversely, MOFs offer unmatched molecular selectivity but are typically powders, severely limiting their practical use. To address this, we develop a generalizable route to fabricate ultrastable MOF@SiC membranes via sequential oxidation and acidification, creating abundant Si-OH sites on SiC surfaces that covalently bond with Zr-MOF crystals; the bonding mechanism between MOFs and substrates has been extensively studied.

Advances in molecular analysis and characterization techniques should revolutionize the methods for scientific exploration across physics, chemistry, and biology, fundamentally overturning our understanding of interactions and processes that govern molecular behavior at the microscopic level. Currently, the absence of a molecular analysis method that can both quantify molecules and achieve single-molecule spatial resolution hinders our study of complex molecular systems in sorption and catalysis. Here, we propose a quantitative analysis strategy for small molecules confined in ZSM-5, a zeolite material extensively used in catalysis and gas separation, based on low-dose transmission electron microscopy.

High-sensitivity, multiparameter sensing is increasingly critical for environmental monitoring and electronics. Existing sensing platforms struggle to integrate precise, rapid, and stable monitoring of parts per billion-level hazardous gases and temperature within a single miniaturized device. This study developed a novel sensor based on two-dimensional (2D) indium selenide (InSe), complemented by first-principles density functional theory calculations elucidating the layer-dependent NO adsorption mechanism.

Global challenges posed by freshwater scarcity and the water-energy nexus drive demand for novel macromolecular design of tailored nanostructures endowed with a variety of hydrophilic and hydrophobic features. Offering potential to meet this demand, metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are synthesized from coordinated formations that create versatile reticular structures with variable water adsorption affinities. However, advances in the fundamental understanding of water interactions within these structures are impeded by the failure of classical analyses to identify mechanisms of interaction, connect fundamental isotherm types, and provide appropriate benchmarks for assessment.
