Article Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides (MXenes) have become an ideal platform to produce some derivatives with tunable chemical compositions and structures, possessing unique physical and chemical properties beyond their counterparts. Here, a well-defined non-van der Waals artificial solid is developed on the basis of the topological transformation of Cl-terminated MXenes, which involves the substitution of -Cl with -S terminations to enlarge the interlayer spacing of MXenes and subsequent configuration with transition-metal (Cu, Fe, Co, Ni, and Sn) atoms. After the topological transformation, the MXene layers are chemically bonded, showing a higher thermal stability up to 550 °C in air than that of MXenes. The resultant artificial solids with well-defined atomic metal layers exhibit a high electrocatalytic activity to I/I redox reaction and a strong adsorption capability toward iodine species. As a result, Zn-I batteries deliver a good rate performance of 104 mAh g at 32 C and a long cycling stability of up to 2000 cycles at 8 C.

Identifying side effects is crucial for drug development and postmarket surveillance. Several computational methods based on graph neural networks (GNNs) have been developed, leveraging the topological structure and node attributes in graphs with promising results. However, existing heterogeneous-network-based approaches often fail to fully capture the complex structure and rich semantic information within these networks.

Nanographenes with diverse topological structures have shown enormous potential in fields such as photonics, optoelectronics, and spintronics. This work employs a "from-core-to-branch" strategy to controllably synthesize star-shaped nanographenes with various symmmetries. The obtained star-shaped nanographenes exhibit symmetry-dependent HOMO-LUMO gaps and photoluminescence quantum yields, revealing the importance of precisely controlling the molecular topologies.

Closed capsules, such as lipid vesicles, soap bubbles, and emulsion droplets, are ubiquitous throughout biology, engineered matter, and everyday life. Their creation and disintegration are defined by a singularity that separates a topologically distinct extended liquid film from a boundary-free closed shell. Such topology-changing processes are of fundamental interest.
