A large-area COF film with a pore size of 3.9 nm was prepared on a gas-liquid interface by the virtue of the limiting and guiding functions of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, followed by modification by Ni ions with the reversible redox reaction of Ni(II/III), where Ni was evidently anchored on the N in BPY. The obtained COF and Ni-COF nanofilms could avoid the inevitable aggregation and stacking of bulk COF, which facilitated a high specific capacitance of 0.

However, uneven lithium deposition, uncontrollable lithium dendrite formation, and fragile solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) lead to low lithium utilization, rapid capacity decay, and poor cycle performance. Herein, a robust artificial SEI film by coating the lithium surface with fibrous covalent organic framework (Fib-COF) was constructed, which effectively prevented dendrite penetration and battery short-circuits.

Community participation is a key element of active aging that promotes a new paradigm to enhance health and well-being as people age. However, social isolation is often a concern for older migrants. In this study, we aimed to investigate the current status of older migrants' community participation and assess the main influences on three forms of welfare, development, and organizational participation.

Herein we propose a new and very promising catalyst, high crystallinity Sn crystals on Ni foam (Sn@f-Ni), for the electroreduction reaction of CO in potassium bicarbonate aqueous solution. The catalyst is fabricated on a pretreated Ni foam substrate through a galvanostatic electrodeposition strategy.

Development of synthesizable catalysts has always been one of the biggest obstacles to replace platinum-group catalysts. In this work, a high quality crystal polymer covalent triazine framework [CTF; Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 1562.
