A highly porous 4,4-paddlewheel-connected NbO-type metal-organic framework (HNUST-2, HNUST represents Hunan University of Science and Technology) has been designed and synthesized by self-assembling [Cu₂(COO)₄] SBUs with a nanosized tetracarboxylate ligand prolonged by alkyne groups, 5,5'-(naphthalene-1,4-diylbis(ethyne-2,1-diyl))diisophthalic acid (H₄NDED). HNUST-2 exhibits high structural stability, a porous non-interpenetration framework with open metal sites and excellent gas-uptake capacity. This MOF material possesses a high BET surface area of 2366 m² g⁻¹, a large unsaturated excess and total H₂ uptake of 4.57 wt% and 5. 20 wt% at 20 bar and 77 K, respectively. Meanwhile, HNUST-2 also exhibits an excellent adsorption capacity for CO₂ (18.07 mmol g⁻¹ at 20 bar and 298 K) and CH₄ (85.6 cm³ cm⁻³ at 20 bar and 298 K) with a high selectivity for CO₂ over N₂ (22.9) and CH₄ (4.9) at 298 K.

Ceramic aerogels are promising high-temperature thermal insulation materials due to their outstanding thermal stability and oxidation resistance. However, restricted by nanoparticle-assembled network structures, conventional ceramic aerogels commonly suffer from inherent brittleness, volume shrinkage, and structural collapse at high temperatures. Here, to overcome such obstacles, 3D ultralight and highly porous carbon tube foams (CTFs) were designed and synthesized as the carbonaceous precursors, where melamine foams were used as the sacrificial templates to form the hollow and thin-wall network structures in the CTFs (density: ∼4.

Highly ordered porous structured particles comprising three-way catalyst (TWC) nanoparticles have attracted attention because of their remarkable catalytic performance. However, the conditions for controlling their pore arrangement to form interconnected pore structures remain unclear. In particular, the correlation between framework thickness (distance between pores) or macroporosity and the diffusion of gaseous reactants to achieve a high catalytic performance has not been extensively discussed.

Achieving microecological balance is a complex environmental challenge. This is because the equilibrium of microecological systems necessitates both the eradication of harmful microorganisms and preservation of the beneficial ones. Conventional materials predominantly target the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms and often neglect the protection of advantageous microbial species.

The two-dimensional lamellar materials disperse platinum sites and minimize noble-metal usage for fuel cells, while mass transport resistance at the stacked layers spurs device failure with a significant performance decline in membrane electrode assembly (MEA). Herein, we implant porous and rigid sulfonated covalent organic frameworks (COF) into the graphene-based catalytic layer for the construction of steric mass-charge channels, which highly facilitates the activity of oxygen reduction reactions in both the rotating disk electrode (RDE) measurements and MEA device tests. Specifically, the normalized mass activity is remarkably boosted by 3.
