Article Abstract
The employment of intermediate layer technology to improve the mechanical stability of superhydrophobic coatings (SHCs) is an acknowledged tool, but the mechanism by which intermediate layers, especially different ones, affect superhydrophobic composite coatings is not clear. In this work, a series of SHCs based on the strengthening of the intermediate layer were fabricated by employing polymers with different elastic moduli such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polyurethane (PU), epoxy (EP) resin, as well as graphite/SiO hydrophobic components. Following that, the effect of different elastic modulus polymers as an intermediate layer on the durability of SHCs was investigated. From the perspective of elastic buffering, the strengthening mechanism of elastic polymer-based SHCs was clarified. Furthermore, from the perspective of self-lubrication, the wear resistance mechanism of self-lubricating hydrophobic components in the SHCs was elucidated. Also, the prepared coatings exhibited excellent acid and alkali resistance, self-cleaning, anti-stain, and corrosion resistance. This work confirms that low-elastic-modulus polymers can also play the role of buffering external impact energy by elastic deformation even as an intermediate layer, and provides theoretical guidance for the development of SHCs with robustness.

Hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) is a high-energy-density compound with poor thermal stability, which hinders its application in composite energetic systems. A bi-interface structure of polydopamine-coated graphene oxide (GO@PDA) is shown to markedly improve thermal stability compared with pristine CL-20 and single-layer coatings. Reactive molecular dynamics simulations enhanced by a neural network potential (NNP) reveal that the delayed onset of decomposition arises from suppressed NO release and altered spatial density distribution, while interfacial -OH and -COOH groups consume intermediates, redirect decomposition pathways, and inhibit autocatalytic chain reactions.

The challenge to produce multicarbon (C) products in high current densities in the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CORR) has motivated intense research. However, the ability of solvated cations to tune and activate water for C production in the CORR has been overlooked. In this study, we report the incorporation of a covalently grown layer of functionalized phenyl groups on the Cu surface that leads to a 7-fold increase in ethylene production (to -530 mA cm) and a 6-fold increase in C products (to -760 mA cm).

Here, Ln-Li co-doped YO@ZnO core-shell heterostructures were synthesized by three different techniques - intermediate layer conversion method, a hydrothermal method, and an interlayer mediated hydrothermal method. The synthesis procedure is optimized based on the thickness and compactness of the developed shell. The growth kinetics and synthesis mechanism of each adopted method have been explained in detail using XRD, FESEM, TEM, SAED, and EDX characterization techniques.

Integrating multi-enzyme systems within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has garnered significant attention in biocatalysis due to their tunable structural properties and ability to enhance enzyme performance in cascade reactions. The unique features of MOFs, such as well-defined pore apertures, tailorable compositions, and high loading capacity, facilitate the design of robust multi-enzyme bio-composites with enhanced recyclability and specificity. This review explores systematic approaches for the compartmentalization and positional co-immobilization of multiple enzymes within MOFs, focusing on two key strategies: (i) layer-by-layer assembly and (ii) pore-engineered compartmentalization.

Developing highly active and stable nonprecious electrocatalysts toward sluggish alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for large-scale green hydrogen production via electrochemical water splitting. Here we report phase and surface co-reconstruction of S-doped (NiCo)WC nanoparticles into (NiCo)C with amorphous electroactive NiCoOOH layer for highly efficient alkaline OER by W dissolution and NiCo surface oxidation. The W dissolution results in the formation of Brønsted base WO ions, which electrostatically accumulate around electrode to promote water dissociation into abundant OH* intermediates, in situ constructing a locally strong alkaline microenvironment to facilitate OH* adsorption on NiCoOOH sites and trigger lattice-oxygen oxidation path.
