Though two-dimensional early transition metal carbides and carbonitrides (MXenes) have attracted extensive interest recently, their superb abilities in various scientific applications always suffer from the very narrow interlayer space inside the multilayered structure. Here we demonstrate an unprecedented large adsorption capacity enhancement of TiCT toward radionuclide removal via a hydrated intercalation strategy. By rational control of the interlayer space, the potential for imprisoning the representative actinide U(vi) inside multilayered TiCT was also confirmed.

Many properties of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) depend on its molecular environment, such as whether it is an isolated molecule, a dimer, or in a crystalline state. The molecular geometry, conformational analysis, and vibrational spectrum of 2,4-D were theoretically calculated using Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. A new slightly more stable conformer was found, which is different to those previously reported.

The discovery of superconductivity in twisted bilayer and trilayer graphene has generated tremendous interest. The key feature of these systems is an interplay between interlayer coupling and a moiré superlattice that gives rise to low-energy flat bands with strong correlations. Flat bands can also be induced by moiré patterns in lattice-mismatched and/or twisted heterostructures of other two-dimensional materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs).

ConspectusThe electronic properties of atomically thin van der Waals (vdW) materials can be precisely manipulated by vertically stacking them with a controlled offset (for example, a rotational offset─i.e., twist─between the layers, or a small difference in lattice constant) to generate moiré superlattices.

This study aims to utilize secondary aluminum dross waste to synthesize Fe-Al layered double hydroxide (Fe-Al LDH) for efficient adsorption of arsenic from drinking water. The synthesis process was based on a multi-step hydrometallurgical approach, in which the aluminum content in the waste was first converted to sodium aluminate. This was followed by the transformation into Fe-Al LDH through a series of processes, including gelation, sol formation, simultaneous precipitation, and aging.

Article Synopsis
- A magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide (LDH) was created using a coprecipitation technique from a nitrate solution and transformed into a layered double oxide (LDO) after being heated to 450 °C.
- During rehydration in a fluoride solution, the LDH's original structure was restored and fluoride ions were absorbed to maintain balance, a finding confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
- The study demonstrated that using ethanol during the rehydration process significantly increased fluoride incorporation, and the fluoride release pattern from the material revealed a rapid initial release followed by a slower, prolonged release.
