Accurate interaction energies of nonpolar (argon) and polar (water) adsorbates with graphene-based carbon allotropes were calculated by means of a combined density functional theory (DFT)-ab initio computational scheme. The calculated interaction energy of argon with graphite (-9.7 kJ mol(-1)) is in excellent agreement with the available experimental data. The calculated interaction energy of water with graphene and graphite is -12.8 and -14.6 kJ mol(-1), respectively. The accuracy of combined DFT-ab initio methods is discussed in detail based on a comparison with the highly precise interaction energies of argon and water with coronene obtained at the coupled-cluster CCSD(T) level extrapolated to the complete basis set (CBS) limit. A new strategy for a reliable estimate of the CBS limit is proposed for systems where numerical instabilities occur owing to basis-set near-linear dependence. The most accurate estimate of the argon and water interaction with coronene (-8.1 and -14.0 kJ mol(-1), respectively) is compared with the results of other methods used for the accurate description of weak intermolecular interactions.

Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) comprise thousands of fluorinated chemicals. They are of growing concern because many PFAS compounds are persistent and toxic. Food contact materials (FCM) containing PFAS pose multiple exposure pathways to humans, prompting twelve states to enact laws banning FCM with PFAS levels exceeding 100 ppm of TOF.

Water-soluble vitamins play essential roles in normal body functions and metabolic activities. However, few methods have simultaneously measured all nine water-soluble vitamins in biological matrices. In this study, we developed a sensitive and accurate method for the simultaneous measurement of thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), nicotinamide (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), 4-pyridoxic acid (B6), biotin (B7), 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (B9), ascorbic acid (VC), and methylmalonic acid (MMA) in human serum.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) offer several advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries, including a more uniform sodium distribution, lower-cost materials, and safer transportation options. A promising development in SIBs is the use of hard carbons as anode materials due to their low insertion voltage and larger interlayer spacing, which improve sodium-ion insertion. Traditionally, hard carbons are made from costly carbon sources, but recent advancements have focussed on using abundant bio-waste, like coffee grounds.

The exploration and development of deep marine shale gas has made significant breakthroughs, but factors influencing gas contents of deep marine shale are elusive, and quantitative prediction methods of gas content needs to be refined urgently. In this study, the deep marine shale of Longmaxi Formation in Luzhou area was taken as an example, vitrinite reflectance analysis, kerogen microscopy experiment, TOC content analysis, mineral composition analysis, gas content measurement, isothermal adsorption experiment, physical property analysis and argon ion polishing scanning electron microscopy experiment were carried out to find out factors affecting the gas content of deep marine shale, and a gas content prediction model has been worked out. Conclusions below have been reached: the content of adsorbed gas is mainly affected by Ro, TOC content, porosity, water saturation, clay mineral content, formation temperature and pressure; the content of free gas is mainly controlled by porosity, water saturation, formation temperature and pressure; according to the prediction models, the adsorbed gas content, free gas content and total gas content of each well were quantitatively calculated, and the study area was divided into Class I (with a total gas content ≥ 11 m/t), Class II (with a total gas content between 9 m/t and 11 m/t), and Class III (with a total gas content < 9 m/t) gas-bearing areas.
