A novel cobalt(II)-based metal-organic framework, Co-MB, was prepared by hydrothermal reaction of Co(NO)·6HO, 3,3'-methylenediphthalic acid (Hmda), and 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-benzene in sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and structurally characterized. It shows a high stability in water within the pH range from 2.2 to 11.6, which could be used as a highly selective and sensitive luminescent sensor for Ag(I) detection in a luminescent enhancement manner, with LOD about 23 nM. Importantly, such stable Co-MB could also work as proton reduction catalyst for photodriven hydrogen production coupled with visible-light organic dyes as photosensitizer. The influence factors of hydrogen production including pH, TEA (triethylamine) contents, and kinds of organic dyes are studied in detail. Under optimal condition, the TON value was up to 5133 per cycle, and this Co-MB could also be reused at least 3 times.

Catalyst design plays a critical role in ensuring sustainable and effective energy conversion. Electrocatalytic materials need to be able to control active sites and introduce defects in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. Furthermore, producing efficient catalysts with a distinct surface structure advances our comprehension of the mechanism.

Background: Fruits are sources of bioactive compounds such as phenolics that bring health benefits to consumers. The addition of fruit products and microorganisms with probiotic potential in fermented goat milk can facilitate the acquisition of these benefits through diet. In this sense, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of incorporating a mixture of ingredients from jaboticaba (), jambolana (), and mandacaru () fruits on fermentation parameters (pH, titratable acidity, viability of the native culture CNPC003 and the starter culture), associated with pigmentation (phenolic compound content and color) through experimental mixture design.

Metal oxides are promising catalysts for small molecule hydrogen chemistries, mediated by interfacial proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) processes. Engineering the mechanism of PCET has been shown to control the selectivity of reduced products, providing an additional route for improving reductive catalysis with metal oxides. In this work, we present kinetic resolution of the rate determining proton-transfer step of PCET to a titanium-doped POV, TiVO(OCH) with 9,10-dihydrophenazine by monitoring the loss of the cationic radical intermediate using stopped-flow analysis.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production is currently considered a clean and sustainable route to meet the energy and environmental issues. Among, heterojunction photocatalysts have been developed to improve their photocatalytic efficiency. Defect engineering of heterojunction photocatalysts is attractive due to it can perform as electron trap and change the band structure to optimize the interfacial separation rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.
