Article Abstract
Developing diverse methods to approach highly crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for improvement of their electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity is important but very challenging. Herein, for the first time, an electrochemically-driven reconstruction strategy is demonstrated to convert semi-polymerized low-crystalline COFs into highly crystalline, structurally ordered COFs with enhanced HER activity. In situ and ex situ characterizations reveal that cyclic voltammetry (CV) cycles can promote crystallinity, thereby leading to improved conductivity, increased active site density, and superior stability. As a result, the highly crystalline COF achieves low overpotentials of 103.6 and 219.4 mV at 10 and 50 mA cm, respectively, with excellent stability (1200 h at 50 mA cm). More importantly, this strategy is generalizable and effective for various imine-linked COFs with different bonding types, significantly improving their crystallinity and HER activity. This work not only establishes a novel method for constructing highly crystalline COFs but also demonstrates the versatility of electrochemically driven structural modulation in enhancing the catalytic performance of COFs.

Anharmonic Phonon Scattering Triggering Multi-ion Migration in Oxide-Based Superionic Conductors.

The thermodynamic equilibrium assumption often invoked in modeling ion migration in solid-state materials remains insufficient to capture the true migration behavior of Li ions, particularly in less-crystalline superionic conductors that exhibit anomalously high Li ion conductivity. Such materials challenge classical frameworks and necessitate a lattice dynamics-based perspective that explicitly accounts for nonequilibrium phonon interactions and transient structural responses. Here, we uncover a phonon-governed Li ion migration mechanism in garnet-structured superionic conductors by comparing Ta-doped LiLaZrTaO (LLZTO4) to its undoped analogue, LiLaZrAlO (LLZO).

The direct deposition of piezoelectric ceramic thin films onto metal foils has become a significant challenge due to the increasing demand for embedded decoupling capacitors, nanogenerators, and flexible piezo-sensors. However, traditional thermal sintering (TS) methods present several issues for metal foils, including alterations in mechanical properties, the formation of wrinkles, and the need for precise control over the sintering atmosphere to prevent oxidation. In this study, we successfully crystallized BaTiO on a Ni foil under atmospheric conditions, mitigating thermal damage to the foil through a hybrid-solution-incorporated photoassisted chemical solution deposition (HS-PCSD) method.

Understanding the structural flexibility of zeolites under cryogenic conditions is essential for optimizing gas separation and storage performance. This study investigates nanosized RHO zeolite synthesized via green synthesis (without organic structural directing agent) upon hydration and cooling to low temperatures (<273 K) using in situ XRPD, in situ FTIR spectroscopy, and DFT simulations. Template-free synthesis is performed at low temperature (363 K), avoiding calcination or postsynthetic activation, yielding highly crystalline nanosized zeolite with minimal energy consumption and no toxic by-products.

, a notorious forest pest in southwest China, primarily employs infochemicals to coordinate mass attacks that overcome host tree defenses. However, secondary visual cues, particularly detection of host color changes, also aid host location. This study characterized the compound eye structure and vision of using electron microscopy and phototaxis tests.

The disposal and management of coal gangue (CG) waste from coal mining pose significant environmental pollution challenges. Here, we propose utilizing CG as raw material to synthesize CG-based NaA-type molecular sieves (CG@NaA MS) through a high-temperature alkali fusion combined with a hydrothermal process. This approach enables the sustainable treatment of copper ions and methylene blue (MB) in wastewater.
