Porous BiOCl hexagonal prisms have been successfully prepared through a simple solvothermal route. These novel BiOCl HPs with porous structures are assembled from nanoparticles and exhibit high activity and selectivity toward the photocatalytic aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde and degradation of methyl orange.

Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived transition metal compounds and their composites have attracted great interest for applications in energy conversion and storage. In this work, hexagonal micro-prisms of Ni-doped CoTiO composited with amorphous carbon (NiCTO/C) were synthesized using Ti-Co-based MOFs as precursors. The experimental results indicate the substitutional doping of Ni for Co in CoTiO (CTO), leading to improved conductivity, as further confirmed by density functional theory calculations.

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.

The aim of this work is to investigate the sound absorption properties of open-porous polyamide 12 (PA12) structures produced using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology. The examined 3D-printed samples, fabricated with hexagonal prism lattice structures, featured varying thicknesses, cell sizes, and orientations. Additionally, some samples were produced with an outer shell to evaluate its impact on sound absorption.

Nucleic acid transport through protein-based pores is a well-characterized phenomenon due in part to advancements in nanopore sequencing. A less studied area is nucleic acid transport through extended protein-based channels, where the additional surface area and increased contact time allow for the study of prolonged binding interactions. Porous protein crystals composed of "CJ", a putative polyisoprenoid-binding protein from , represent a favorable, highly ordered material for studying DNA transport and binding/unbinding along protein-based channels.

For most self-luminous metal-organic framework (MOF)-involved electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems, the integration of exogenous coreactants is indispensable to promote ECL efficiency. However, the introduction of a coreactant into an electrolyte would result in poor stability, thereby inevitably affecting analytical accuracy. Herein, by employing aggregation-induced emission luminogens as ligands, we first synthesized one hexagonal prism-shaped MOF that displays robust and steady ECL signal without an exogenous coreactant.
