In this study, two types of catalysts were prepared by the combination of gemini quaternary ammonium salt with two distinct species of phosphotungstic acid. Catalysts prepared by the Wells-Dawson type of phosphotungstic acid and Keggin-type phosphotungstic acid both exhibited dual-phase catalytic behavior, demonstrating both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic activities. In comparison to the catalyst prepared by the Keggin-type phosphotungstic acid, due to the higher size of Wells-Dawson type of phosphotungstic acid, hydrogen bonding could not effectively affect the catalyst prepared by HPWO. Subsequently, the influential factors on the catalytic reaction were investigated. Through the utilization of techniques such as XPS, FT-IR, Raman spectra and other characterization methods, two distinct structure and reaction mechanisms for these catalysts were elucidated under the influence of hydrogen bonding.

Photochromic smart windows with efficient solar heat and sunlight modulation are highly sought after for energy efficiency in buildings. However, the preparation of organic-inorganic hybrid photochromic coating with high transparency and excellent dimming ability remains a challenge. Here, we achieve a high dispersion of inorganic nanoparticles in the polymer network based on the B─O─W coordination bond locking strategy, and effectively reduce the energy band gap of Phosphotungstic acid (PTA) by adjusting the local coordination and electronic environment of the metal centre (W) to design a novel conjugated organic-inorganic hybrid photochromic material with high transparency (96.

Regulating the hydrogen adsorption and desorption behavior on the cocatalyst surface can effectively improve the performance of photocatalytic hydrogen production. While platinum-group materials excel in optimizing Fermi levels and proton reduction kinetics, their practical application is hindered by economic and scalability constraints. Herein, a novel Ni atom decorated phosphotungstic acid cluster (PTA-Ni) is developed as a cocatalyst integrated with graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Transmission of strain across the tendon-bone interface otherwise known as the enthesis, is crucial to the movement of the skeleton. Imaging the inner structure and understanding the way that strain is transmitted across this interface is crucial to understanding the way it responds to load, how it becomes injured through trauma and how intervention and materials can be used to repair the enthesis after injury. Micro-CT imaging and digital volume correlation (DVC) have been widely used for musculoskeletal biomechanics analysis.

Peracetic acid (PAA) treatment is a promising delignification strategy for lignocellulose biorefinery; however, its cumbersome preparation has challenged industrial application. This work presents a facile approach for in situ PAA generation using phosphotungstic acid (PTA) as a catalyst in hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid (HPAC) system for one-pot global deconstruction and delignification of corn stover. With an HPAC concentration of 50% (v/v) and PTA loading of 1-1.

Ferroptosis exhibits promising potential in cancer therapy lipid peroxidation (LPO) accumulation, while its therapeutic efficacy is normally limited by inadequate ROS production and adverse effects on normal tissues. Here, a TME-activated synthesis of a single-site catalyst (Fe(ii)-PW) is reported, which triggers ferroptosis by mimicking natural enzyme activities of NADPH oxidase (NOX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) cascade reactions. Upon degradation of the nanocarrier by the overexpressed GSH in an acidic TME, Fe(ii)-PW is obtained through the coordination of Fe into lacunary phosphotungstic acid (PW).
