Context: Designing efficient sensitive materials for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as ethanol, acetone, and benzene is stringent owing to the significant environmental and health risks induced by these compounds, in addition to their role as biomarkers for chronic diseases and food quality. This study investigates the adsorption mechanisms of VOC molecules (ethanol, acetone, and benzene) on both non-oxidized and oxidized SnO (110) monolayers and identifies the most suitable surface for gas sensing applications. For this, we examined structural properties, adsorption energies, density of states, gas responses, and recovery times.

This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and functional properties of well-aligned zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires (NWs) obtained by a two-step hydrothermal method. ZnO NWs were grown on silicon substrates precoated with a ZnO seed layer. The growth process was conducted at 90 °C for different durations (2, 3, and 4 h) to examine the time-dependent evolution of the nanowire properties.

Photocatalytic detoxification of sulfur mustards (, bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide, SM) is an effective approach for protecting the ecological environment and human health. In order to fabricate COFs with high performance for the selective transformation of the SM simulant 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) to nontoxic 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide (CEESO), three porphyrin-based COFs with different donor groups (R = H, OH, and OMe) were synthesized. Among these COFs, COF-OMe, which possesses the strongest electron-donating ability, demonstrated a faster and higher detoxification rate of CEES at various concentrations, achieving selective oxidation of CEES to non-toxic CEESO with 99.

Treatment of amidinato-based magnesium ethyl compounds LMgEt [L = PrPNC(Bu)NAr; Ar = 2,6-PrCH (La) or 2,6-(PhCH)-4-Pr-(CH) (Lb)] with Ni(COD) (COD: 1,5-cyclooctadiene) afforded heterotrimetallic Mg-Ni-Mg complexes [(LMg)Ni(CH)] through β-H elimination. These complexes exhibit approximately linear Mg-Ni-Mg linkage with the central nickel arranged in a planar configuration; the Ni(CH) unit can be considered as nickela-bis-cyclopropane. Reaction of [(LMg)Ni(CH)] with tetrahydrofuran (THF) gave a coordination product [(LMg·THF)Ni(CH)], in which the central structure remained intact and THF coordinated to two magnesium atoms respectively.

The next generation of soft electronics will expand to the third dimension. This will require the integration of mechanically compliant 3D functional structures with stretchable materials. Here, omnidirectional direct ink writing (DIW) of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) aerogels with tunable electrical and mechanical performance is demonstrated, which can be integrated with soft substrates.
