Catalyst-derived hierarchy in 2D imine-based covalent organic frameworks.

Identifying facile strategies for hierarchically structuring crystalline porous materials is critical for realizing diffusion length scales suitable for broad applications. Here, we elucidate synthesis-structure-function relations governing how room temperature catalytic conditions can be exploited to tune covalent organic framework (COF) growth and thereby access unique hierarchical morphologies without the need to introduce secondary templates or structure directing molecules. Specifically, we demonstrate how scandium triflate, an efficient catalyst involved in the synthesis of imine-based COFs, can be exploited as an effective growth modifier capable of selectively titrating terminal amines on 2D COF layers to facilitate anisotropic crystal growth.

Defect-regulated MnS@NiCoSeS structures: A novel approach to unlock energy storage potential in supercapacitors.

Transition metal sulfides (TMSs) have significant potential in energy storage applications due to their high theoretical capacity and diverse reaction mechanisms. However, performance limitations in supercapacitors arise from various intrinsic defects, including low active material utilization and poor cycling stability caused by unstable electrical conductivity. To address these issues, this paper incorporates selenium atoms into sulfides, aiming to leverage selenium's high conductivity to enhance the electroactivity of transition metal sulfides.

Fluorescence imaging and recognition are core technologies in targeted medicine, pathological surgery, and biomedicine. However, current imaging and recognition systems are separate, requiring repeated data transfers for imaging and recognition that lead to delays and inefficiency, hindering the capture of rapidly changing physiological processes and biological phenomena. To address these problems, we propose an integrated intelligent sensor for biological fluorescence imaging and ultrafast recognition.

Cement-mortar lining failure and metal release caused by electrochemical corrosion of ductile iron pipes in drinking water distribution systems.

The electrochemical corrosion of ductile pipes (DPs) in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) has a crucial impact on cement-mortar lining (CML) failure and metal release, potentially leading to drinking water quality deterioration and posing a risk to public health. An in-situ scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) with micron-scale resolution, microscopic scale detection and water quality analysis were used to investigate the corrosion behavior and metal release from DPs throughout the whole CML failure process. Metal pollutants release occurred at three different stages of CML failure process, and there are potential risks of water quality deterioration exceeding the maximum allowable levels set by national standards in the partial failure stage and lining peeling stage.
