The X-band EPR spectra of the IR sensitive untreated PSII and of MeOH- and NH(3)-treated PSII from spinach in the S(2)-state are simulated with collinear and rhombic g- and Mn-hyperfine tensors. The obtained principal values indicate a 1Mn(III)3Mn(IV) composition for the Mn(4) cluster. The four isotropic components of the Mn-hyperfine tensors are found in good agreement with the previously published values determined from EPR and (55)Mn-ENDOR data. Assuming intrinsic isotropic components of the Mn-hyperfine interactions identical to those of the Mn-catalase, spin density values are calculated. A Y-shape 4J-coupling scheme is explored to reproduce the spin densities for the untreated PSII. All the required criteria such as a S=1/2 ground state with a low lying excited spin state (30 cm(-1)) and an easy conversion to a S=5/2 system responsible for the g=4.1 EPR signal are shown to be satisfied with four antiferromagnetic interactions lying between -290 and -130 cm(-1).

The practical application of Na-ion cathode materials is currently restricted by their low energy density and sluggish dynamics, while the cation-disordered rocksalt (DRX) structures offer a possible solution to the challenge. In this study, among the 24 candidates containing elements, we use mixing temperature as a descriptor to screen the synthesizable Na-excess DRX, and we have identified NaMnMoO as the most promising candidate that exhibits a Na percolating fraction of 53%, which is higher than that of LiMnTiO (35%) proposed in the previous study due to the larger lattice constant in Na-excess DRX cathodes. More importantly, NaMnMoO is predicted to have a capacity of 228 mAh/g with an energy density of 552 Wh/kg derived from percolation theory and cluster-expansion Monte Carlo simulations, which is higher than that of NaNbMnO and NaMnTiO synthesized recently.

We report the dynamic effects of magnetic inhomogeneity on the temperature evolution of the Raman modes in polycrystalline LaCoMnO (LCMO) films. The LCMO films were obtained via chemical solution deposition and annealed at different temperatures, 700, 800 and 900 °C. Temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopic studies uncover anomalous phonon energy behaviors, associated with strong spin-phonon couplings revealed even at ambient conditions.

The present paper reported on the analysis of structural defects and their influence on the red-emitting γ-AlO:Mn,Mg nanowires using positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS). The nanowires were synthesized by hydrothermal method and low-temperature post-treatment using glucose as a reducing agent. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL), and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) were utilized, respectively, for determining the structural phase, morphology and red-emitting intensity in studied samples.

Article Synopsis
- A novel catalyst made of Cr-Mn co-modified activated coke (4%CrMn/AC) was developed to efficiently remove toluene and mercury (Hg) at 200℃, showing remarkable physicochemical properties.
- The study revealed that higher space velocity negatively impacted removal efficiency, while the presence of toluene inhibited Hg removal due to its much higher concentration and stronger attraction to the catalyst.
- Mechanistic analysis indicated that both adsorption and oxidation processes were involved in the removal, with the catalyst's structure enhancing reactivity and performance, positioning it as a promising and cost-effective solution for industrial applications.

2D functional porous frameworks offer a platform for studying the structure-activity relationships during electrocatalytic CO reduction reaction (CORR). Yet challenges still exist to breakthrough key limitations on site configuration (typical M-O or M-N units) and product selectivity (common CO-to-CO conversion). Herein, a novel 2D metal-organic framework (MOF) with planar asymmetric N/O mixed coordinated Cu-NO unit is constructed, labeled as BIT-119.
