Clathrate hydrates (CHs) are believed to exist in cold regions of space, such as comets and icy moons. While spectroscopic studies have explored their formation under similar laboratory conditions, direct structural characterization using diffraction techniques has remained elusive. We present the first electron diffraction study of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 1,3-dioxolane (DIOX) CHs in the form of nanometer-thin ice films under an ultrahigh vacuum at cryogenic temperatures.

Dual-band tungsten oxide (WO) electrochromic films are extensively investigated, yet challenges persist regarding complex fabrication processes and limited cyclic stability. In this paper, a novel approach to prepare graphdiyne quantum dots (GDQDs) doped WO films with a hexagonal crystal structure, is presented. Structural characterization reveals that the GDQDs/WO possesses a coral-like, loose structure with high crystallinity due to the synergistic modulation of morphology and crystallinity.

The rising demand for energy storage calls for technological advancements to address the growing needs. In this context, sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries have emerged as a potential complementary technology to lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion). Among other materials, NaV(PO)F (NVPF) is a promising cathode for Na-ion batteries due to its high operating voltage and good energy density.

Based on the recent discovery of intrinsic magnetism in monolayer films VSe2, we have constructed a two-dimensional (2D) Heisenberg model incorporating the 1T and 2H structures. These configurations consist of three layers: the upper and lower surface layers and a middle layer. Using the retarded Green's function method, we investigate the spin-wave energy spectrum, spin-wave density of states, and transition temperature of the system.

Biodegradable food packaging has gained significant attention owing to environmental concerns. Chitosan (CS), a natural polysaccharide, is popular in packaging films, however, its high hydrophilicity, brittleness, and low mechanical strength limit its use. To improve CS film performance, kafirin (Kaf), glycerol (GE), and tannic acid (TA) were added to create biocomposite films.
