The lifetimes of the first excited 2^{+}, 4^{+}, and 6^{+} states in ^{98}Zr were measured with the recoil-distance Doppler shift method in an experiment performed at GANIL. Excited states in ^{98}Zr were populated using the fission reaction between a 6.2 MeV/u ^{238}U beam and a ^{9}Be target. The γ rays were detected with the EXOGAM array in correlation with the fission fragments identified by mass and atomic number in the VAMOS++ spectrometer. Our result shows a very small B(E2;2_{1}^{+}→0_{1}^{+}) value in ^{98}Zr, thereby confirming the very sudden onset of collectivity at N=60. The experimental results are compared to large-scale Monte Carlo shell model and beyond-mean-field calculations. The present results indicate the coexistence of two additional deformed shapes in this nucleus along with the spherical ground state.

The low sulfur selectivity of Fe-based HS-selective catalytic oxidation catalysts is still a problem, especially at a high O content. This is alleviated here through anchoring FeO nanoclusters on UiO-66 via the formation of Fe-O-Zr bonds. The introduced FeO species exist in the form of Fe and Fe.

Lead-based antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramics have the advantages of high power density, fast charge and discharge speed, and the electric-field-induced AFE-FE phase transition, making them one of the potential dielectric energy storage materials. However, the energy storage density still needs to be improved. In this work, (PbCa) (ZrSn)O (PCZS, = 0.

The composition in ferroelectric oxide films is decisive for optimizing properties and device performances. Controlling a composition distribution in these films by a facile approach is thus highly desired. In this work, we report a solution epitaxy of PbZrTiO films with a continuous gradient of Zr concentration, realized by a competitive growth at ~220 °C.

In this study, solid composite electrolytes (SCEs) comprising UIO-66-F(Zr) were obtained by using a simple solution casting method. By introducing fluorinated groups, the interaction between the MOF and the polymer was significantly improved, which not only stabilizes the SEI layer but also improves the ionic conductivity of the SCEs, thus advancing the practical application of solid composite electrolytes in lithium metal batteries.

Article Synopsis
- A new aerogel called nZVI@UiO-66-NH/TCNF was developed for effectively degrading p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) through an innovative combination of nZVI, UiO-66-NH, and bio-based cellulose nanofibers (TCNF).
- The aerogel demonstrated over 85% degradation efficiency within 3 hours and achieved nearly total removal (99.83%) of p-CNB after 24 hours, showing superior performance compared to other aerogels.
- Key factors contributing to this success include improved mass transfer due to TCNF's porous structure and enhanced interaction between p-CNB and UiO-66-NH, which facilitate electron transfer
