A novel form of mixed-linker ZIF with the RHO topology is one of four zinc-imidazolate frameworks prepared with purine and 2-nitroimidazole. In this structure the linkers order to give a large pore solid with a high pore volume and an unusual symmetry and linker orientation. It possesses extra-framework zinc imidazolate units decorating the internal surface which can be removed to give high porosity.

The utilization of single crystals is exponentially growing in optoelectronic devices due to their exceptional benefits, including high phase purity and the absence of grain boundaries. However, achieving single crystals with a porous structure poses significant challenges. In this study, we present a method for fabricating porous single crystals (porous-SC) of CsAgBiBr and related halide double perovskites using an infrared-assisted spin coating technique.

The development of mechanically robust super-lubrication hydrogel materials with sustained lubricity at high contact pressures is challenging. In this work, inspired by the durable lubricity feature of the earthworm epidermis, a multilevel structural super-lubrication hydrogel (MS-SLH) system, the so-called lubricant self-pumping hydrogel, is developed. The MS-SLH system is manufactured by chemically dissociating a double network hydrogel to generate robust and wrinkled lubrication layer, and then laser etching was used to generate cylindrical texture pores as gland-like pockets for storing lubricants.

The position of landslides on a slope plays a crucial role in determining landslide susceptibility and the likelihood of landslide debris interacting with the fluvial system. Most studies primarily focus on shallow landslides in the bedrock weathering zone or large-scale bedrock landslides, but the relevant work about the location and connectivity to channels of loess landslides is limited despite their potential to provide insights into slope stability and material transport in loess regions. In this study, we explored differences in landslide location and connectivity to channels between 2013 Mw5.

Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), as a classical kind of microporous materials, have attracted substantial interests considering their well-defined framework structures, unique physicochemical properties and low cost. However, PBAs typically adopt cubic structure that features small pore size and low specific surface area, which greatly limits their practical applications in various fields ranging from gas adsorption/separation to energy conversion/storage and biomedical treatments. Here we report the facile and general synthesis of unconventional hexagonal open PBA structures.

This research presents a systematic review of the application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs, compounds with high vapor pressure at ambient temperature and normal pressure, are widely present in a variety of industrial and living environments. VOCs are not only hazardous to the environment but also have a severe impact on human health.
