The heat of adsorption is an important parameter for gas separation and storage applications in porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). There are, however, few systematic studies available in the MOF literature. Many papers report results for only one MOF and often only for a single gas. In this work, systematic experimental measurements by TAP-2 are reported for the heats of adsorption of seven gases in three MOFs. The gases are Kr, Xe, N2, CO2, CH4, n-C4H10, and i-C4H10. The MOFs studied are IRMOF-1, IRMOF-3, and HKUST-1. The data set provides a valuable test for molecular simulation. The simulation results suggest that structural differences in HKUST-1 experimental samples may lead to differing heats of adsorption.

A portable gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) is an effective instrument for rapid on-site detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Current instruments typically adsorb samples at ambient temperature, challenging the detection of low-boiling VOCs. In this study, a low-temperature adsorption thermal desorption method is proposed for sample enrichment in a portable GC-MS.

The smart labels prepared via the casting method and molten 3D printing method have a long heating time at high temperature and a dense network structure, resulting in a decrease in the color response ability of the labels. Therefore, this study uses a nonphase change foam 3D printing method with a shorter heating time to improve the color sensitivity of smart labels. By the pH driving method, the blending and pregelation of sodium alginate (Alg) can extend the drainage time of the interfacial film to the maximum extent, thus further improving the foam stability of egg white protein (EWP) and endowing the interfacial adsorption layer with better flexibility and fluidity.

To develop stable polysaccharide-based emulsions, many studies have focused on the interfacial behavior of adsorbed polysaccharides. This review first discussed the mechanism of polysaccharides self-assembly at the oil-water interface. It can be concluded that polysaccharides can form a thick and strong interfacial membrane that stabilizes emulsions through steric hindrance and electrostatic interactions.

Exploiting cost-effective hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts is crucial for sustainable hydrogen production. However, currently reported nanocatalysts usually cannot simultaneously sustain high catalytic activity and long-term durability. Here, we report the efficient synthesis and activity tailoring of a chainmail catalyst, isolated platinum atom anchored tungsten carbide nanocrystals encapsulated inside carbon nanotubes (Pt/WC@CNTs), by confined flash Joule heating technique.

2D and 3D porous coordination networks (PCNs) as exemplified by metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, have garnered interest for their potential utility as sorbents for molecular separations and storage. The inherent modularity of PCNs has enabled the development of crystal engineering strategies for systematic fine-tuning of pore size and chemistry in families of related PCNs. The same cannot be said about one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers, CPs, which are understudied with respect to porosity.
