Article Abstract
The construction of p-n heterojunctions is expected to be one of the effective means to improve gas sensitivity. In this research, p-n heterojunctions are successfully constructed by metal oxides derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs-derived bimetallic CoO/SnO microspheres are prepared by precipitation. Gas-sensing performance shows that the CoO/SnO sensor exhibits an extremely high response (/ = 641) to 20 ppm of -butanol at 200 °C, which is 19 times that of pristine SnO. It can detect -butanol gas at low concentrations, has good selectivity to alcohol gas, and reduces the interference of benzene gas. The improved gas sensitivity can be attributed to the formation of a stable heterojunction between CoO and SnO, resulting in a greater resistance change of CoO/SnO. CoO/SnO inherits the characteristic of high specific surface area of MOFs, which provides abundant sites for the reaction of the target gas and oxygen molecules. Finally, the gas-sensing mechanism of the CoO/SnO-based sensor is discussed in detail.

Selective oxidation of benzylic C(sp)-H bonds to ketones is critical to the production of fine chemicals but typically requires toxic/precious metal catalysts under harsh conditions. While iron-based complexes have recently served as catalysts for photocatalytic C-H bond activation, most systems operate via homogeneous catalysis. Developing a light-driven strategy under visible light with O as an oxidant is of major importance.

Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient in various enzymatic and physiological functions. However, excessive copper intake, mainly resulting from industrial emissions and improper agricultural practices, has raised growing concerns due to its toxicological effects, particularly on the male reproductive system. This review summarizes current research progress on copper-induced reproductive toxicity in males, emphasizing its impact on sperm quality, androgen production, and testicular structure and function.

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are a promising material for use as anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). TMO anode can be classified on the basis of their lithiation/delithiation mechanism, such as intercalation mechanism-based TMO anode, conversion mechanism-based TMOs, and alloying/dealloying mechanism-based TMO anode. Each class of TMOs has its own advantages and limitations.

Anode-free sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs), which eliminate the need for a lithium metal anode during fabrication, offer superior energy density, enhanced safety, and simplified manufacturing. Their performance is largely influenced by the interfacial properties of the current collectors. Although previous studies have investigated the degradation of sulfide electrolytes on commonly used copper (Cu) and stainless steel (SS) current collectors, the impact of spontaneously formed surface oxides, such as copper oxide (CuO/CuO) and chromium oxide (CrO), on interfacial stability remains underexplored.
