The strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) can profoundly affect the electronic state of platinum (Pt) cocatalysts, which plays a dominant role for photocatalytic activity in the supported photocatalysts. However, the conventional Pt/g-CN photocatalysts usually shows negligible SMSI effect because of the lack of the reducible species. Herein, we demonstrate that the linker engineering of UiO66-type MOFs can effectively strengthen the SMSI and optimize the electron density of Pt nanoparticles on g-CN nanosheets.

The stability of the suspension is a key challenge for the application and promotion of electromagnetic suspension technology, especially when it operates in conjunction with a flexible structure, which significantly increases the system's complexity. This paper abstracts the characteristics of the coupling conditions between an electromagnetic suspension system and a flexible structure and designs and constructs an experimental apparatus that includes an electromagnet and a simulated flexible structure with adjustable stiffness and inertia. Based on the Lyapunov method, the central manifold theorem, and the Poincaré method, the stability of the electromagnetic suspension system and the conditions for Hopf bifurcations are derived.

Unraveling the robust self-adaptivity and minimal energy-dissipation of soft reticular materials for environmental catalysis presents a compelling yet unexplored avenue. Herein, a top-down strategy, tailoring from the unique linkage basis, flexibility degree, skeleton electronics to trace-guest adaptability, is proposed to fill the understanding gap between micro-soft covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and photocatalytic performance. The thio(urea)-basis-dominated linkage within benzotrithiophene-based COFs induce the framework contraction/swelling (intralayer micro-flexibility) in response to tetrahydrofuran or water.
