Three-dimensional metallic nanonetworks (3D-MNWs) demonstrate unique performances across a wide range of fields, and their facile and green synthetic method is of high significance. Herein, we report a self-generated-nanobubble scaffolding strategy for the fabrication of 3D-MNWs, which employs aqua ammonia (AA) as a nanobubble reservoir and avoids the use of any surfactants or polymeric capping agents. Benefiting from the interaction between ammonia and metallic nanoparticles, finely interlocked nanonetworks (Au, Pt, Ag, and Cu) with curved geometry and abundant pores are obtained by precisely controlling the anisotropic kinetic growth using a strong reducing agent and a high concentration of AA. As a demonstration, the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) is tested to assess the electrocatalytic performance of the Pt 3D-MNWs. The peak current of Pt 3D-MNWs reaches 152 mA/mg, which is 2.5 times higher than that of commercial Pt black. This unique nanobubble-assisted strategy has great potential in the basic synthetic prototype for polyporous nanomaterials.

Five alkali metal manganese(III) fluorophosphates, KMn(POF)F (I), RbMn(POF)F (II), RbMn(POF)(PO)F (III), RbMn(POF)(PO)F (IV), and CsMn(POF)F (V), were successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method. The monofluorophosphate anion (POF) groups work as "chemical scissors" to promote low-dimensional spin structures with the aid of alkali metal cations. I and II had an = 2 uniform chain structure formed by corner-sharing -MnOF octahedra.

Early and portable detection of pathogenic bacteria is crucial for ensuring food safety, monitoring product quality, and tracing the sources of bacterial infections. Moving beyond traditional plate-culture counting methods, the analysis of active bacterial components offers a rapid means of quantifying bacteria. Here, metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived NiCo-layered double hydroxide nanosheets (LDHs), synthesized via the Kirkendall effect, were employed as highly effective oxidase mimics to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline porous materials bearing well-ordered two- or three-dimensional molecular tectons in their polymeric skeletal framework. COFs are structurally robust as well as physiochemically stable. Currently, these are being developed for their use as "heterogeneous catalysts" for various organic transformations.

Objective: Evaluation of the accuracy of direct digitization of maxillary scans depending on the scanning strategy.
Materials And Methods: A maxillary model with a metal bar as a reference structure fixed between the second molars was digitized using the CEREC Primescan AC scanner (N = 225 scans). Nine scanning strategies were selected (n = 25 scans per strategy), differing in scan area segmentation (F = full jaw, H = half jaw, S = sextant) and scan movement pattern (L = linear, Z = zig-zag, C = combined).
