CoS/CeO, exhibiting the 3d-4f orbital coupling effect, is developed and shows exceptional OER activity, with an overpotential of 140 mV at 10 mA cm. DFT calculation and Raman spectra show the existence of a d-p-f electron transport ladder that can accelerate electron transfer through the Co-O(S)-Ce bond, optimize the adsorption free energy, and enhance the catalytic activity.

This research mainly explores the structural, magnetic, magneto-transport, and magnetocaloric properties of the polycrystalline TbSrMnO compound. The results reveal a significant modification of the compound's ground state with increasing the strength of the magnetic field. The strong distortion in the crystal structure highly controls the magnetic and magneto-transport properties of the system.

This work reports the engineering and functional properties of an emerging class of heterobimetallic 3d-4f ionic complexes designed with cobalt and rare-earth (RE) metals. We present a comprehensive examination of the structural, magnetic, optical, and thermal properties of the heterobimetallic ionic complexes with the general formula [Co(hfa)][RE(hfa)tetraglyme] (RE = Dy, Eu, and Y), where the metal centres are coordinated by hexafluoroacetylacetonate (Hhfa = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione), β-diketone and tetraglyme (2,5,8,11,14-pentaoxapentadecane) polyether. Structural analysis reveals an octahedral coordination geometry enveloping the cobalt(II) centre, characterized by inherent symmetry properties consistent across the derivatives, while a capped square-antiprism coordination polyhedron is observed for the RE ions.

Magnetic anisotropy and magnetic exchange interactions are crucial parameters that characterize the hybrid metal-organic interface, a key component of an organic spintronic device. It is shown that the incorporation of 4f RE atoms to hybrid metal-organic interfaces of CuPc/REAu type (RE = Gd, Ho) constitutes a feasible approach toward on-demand magnetic properties and functionalities. The GdAu and HoAu substrates differ in their magnetic anisotropy behavior.

The significant interest in actinide bonding has recently focused on novel compounds with exotic oxidation states. However, the difficulty in obtaining relevant high-quality experimental data, particularly for low-valent actinide compounds, prevents a deeper understanding of 5f systems. Here we show X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) measurements in the high-energy resolution fluorescence detection (HERFD) mode at the uranium M edge for the U and U halides, namely UX and UX (X = F, Cl, Br, I).

The vast extensional planes of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are recognized as desirable ground for electrocatalytic reactions. However, they tend to exhibit catalytic inertia due to their surface-ordered coordination configurations. Herein, an in situ autoxidation strategy enables high-density grafting of ultrafine CeO nanoclusters on 2D Co(OH).
