Clay minerals are abundant in caprock formations for anthropogenic storage sites for CO, and they are potential capture materials for CO postcombustion sequestration. We investigate the response to CO exposure of dried fluorohectorite clay intercalated with Li, Na, Cs, Ca, and Ba. By powder X-ray diffraction, we demonstrate that fluorohectorite with Na, Cs, Ca, or Ba does not swell in response to CO and that Li-fluorohectorite does swell. A linear uptake response is observed for Li-fluorohectorite by gravimetric adsorption, and we relate the adsorption to tightly bound residual water, which exposes adsorption sites within the interlayer. The experimental results are supported by DFT calculations.

Pax-5a gene, as a nucleic acid biomarker closely associated with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), holds significant potential for early disease diagnosis. In this study, we developed a highly accurate and efficient "on-super on-off" photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on a dual-photoelectrode heterojunction system integrated with a multisphere cascade DNA amplification strategy. The designed heterojunction dual-photoelectrode platform, comprising a InO/CdS photoanode (on state) and an in situ-formed MIL-68(In)/InO (MIO) photocathode, effectively extends the electron-hole transport pathway, enhances photogenerated charge separation, and produces high-amplitude signal output (super on state), thereby providing a robust baseline for signal transduction.

MXenes are two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides characterized by versatile electronic and electrochemical properties. Herein, we investigate the electronic interactions between various redox-active transition metals (Ni, Co, Mn, and Zn) intercalated into the conductive TiCT MXene host. Employing X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and Bader charge analysis, we reveal that the oxidation states of the intercalated ions remain unchanged upon insertion, whereas Ti atoms within the MXene layers become progressively oxidized with increasing intercalant concentration.

Organic small-molecule materials, leveraging their multisite nature, low molecular weight, sustainability, and element-rich composition, are promising candidates for electrochemical ion extraction applications. However, restricted structural stability, caused by ion-intercalation-induced volume expansion and resulting capacity decay, has hindered further application. Here, based on a structural stacking approach to form an integrated intermolecular force network and lithiophilic ion channels, phenazine (PNZ) is utilized to demonstrate the significant functional relevance of molecular stacking structures in enhancing organic small-molecule electrochemical stability.

The development of trace analysis technology for uranium pollution has become crucial for ecological protection, owing to the extensive utilization of uranium in the nuclear industry. Fluorescence method has been widely used for the detection of uranium in water, but current research still suffers from insufficient sensitivity, sluggish detection speed, and interference from coexisting ions. This is mainly due to the poor selective enrichment ability of the sensors for trace uranium.
