Article Abstract
Atomically thin two-dimensional membranes are promising for osmotic energy generation. However, the trade-off between permeability and selectivity remains a long-standing bottleneck. Herein, we demonstrate that a cationic AB-stacking covalent-organic framework (COF) bilayer achieves high ion conductivity and selectivity. Through precise molecular design and the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, we fabricate an anion-selective COF bilayer (EB-COF) using tetradentate 4,4',4″,4'''-(porphyrin-5,10,15,20-tetrayl)tetrabenzaldehyde (TFPP) and bidentate ethidium bromide (EB) with a covalently tethered pyridinium moiety. The EB-COF bilayer shows a record-high output power density of 7,174 W m (0.5/0.01 M NaCl), significantly outperforming the AA-stacking PDA-COF bilayer constructed with TFPP and neutral -phenylenediamine (PDA). This exceptional performance stems from highly ordered sub-2-nm nanopores, exceptional pore utilization efficiency, and a large surface charge density of 4.4 mC m, which together synergistically enhance anion selectivity and ion permeability. This work not only provides fundamental insights into the structure-performance relationship of permselective membranes but also offers a promising strategy for high-efficiency osmotic energy harvesting.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanofluidic architectures with nanoconfined interlayer channels and excess surface charges have revolutionized membrane-based reverse electrodialysis systems, demonstrating highly efficient osmotic energy collection through strong electrostatic screening of electric double layer (EDL). However, the ion-transport dynamics in 2D nanofluidic anion-selective membranes (2D-NAMs) still remain unexplored. Here, we combine density functional theory and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to systematically explore ion transport in the 2D-NAMs.

Flow fields (FFs) play multifaceted roles in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) by facilitating the transport and distribution of species, removal of products, support to the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), electrical conductivity, water, and thermal management. Therefore, the performance of DMFC is directly related to the pattern and geometry of the FF. DMFCs can generate power density of up to ≈100-300 mW cm; however, their performance is impeded by cathode flooding, CO gas bubbles formation, and mass transfer limitations.

Metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts display considerable potential as cost-effective alternatives to noble metals in oxygen electrocatalysis. However, uncontrolled atomic migration and random structural rearrangement during pyrolysis often lead to disordered coordination environments and sparse active sites, fundamentally limiting their intrinsic catalytic activities and long-term durability. Herein, a novel strategy is reported for use in directionally regulating atomic migration pathways via the incorporation of a foreign metal (La).

In this study, a one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method was used to synthesize a novel gold-yttrium trimesic acid metal-organic framework (Au-Y-TMA MOF), demonstrating significant improvements over conventional single-metal MOFs, that is, yttrium trimesic acid (Y-TMA), in both supercapacitor applications and electrochemical antibiotic detection. The X-ray diffraction patterns of Au-Y-TMA confirmed the presence and impact of Au in the Y-TMA matrix, while field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images revealed a heterogeneous combination of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and Y-TMA, suggesting a nonuniform distribution and possible interaction. The developed half-cell supercapacitor exhibited a remarkable capacitance value of 1836 F/g at a current density of 5 A/g by galvanostatic charging-discharging (GCD) measurement.
