A heterogeneous ZIF-90-based catalyst functionalized with COOH and with a porous structure was facilely prepared for efficient CO adsorption and activation to undergo reductive -formylation with a wide range of amines (15 examples) to furnish -formamides (78-94% yields). The -COO species generated by an interaction with amine acts as a key species for activating hydrosilane to capture CO, and remarkably facilitates a cascade C-N coupling and hydrogenation process. Our findings show a facile strategy for the rational construction of robust active sites for reductive CO valorization.

Multi-walled Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) lack sufficient quality cytotoxicity, toxicity, genotoxicity and genomic data on which to make environmental and regulatory decisions. Therefore, we did a multidisciplinary study of 3 MWCNTs in human lung cells (BEAS-2B) with the following endpoints: cytotoxicity, DNA damage, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, lipid peroxidation and mRNA and microRNA expression analyses. The MWCNTs were either unfunctionalized or functionalized with either -OH or -COOH.

The usage of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) has increased exponentially in the past years, but, potential toxicity mechanisms are not clear. We studied the transcriptomic alterations induced by one multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and its -OH and -COOH functionalized derivatives in human HepG2 cells. We showed that all three MWCNT treatments induced alterations in stress-related signaling pathways, inflammation-related signaling pathways, cholesterol synthesis pathways, proliferation-related pathways, senescence-related pathways and cancer-related pathways.

The effective spatial distribution and arrangement of electrochemically active and conductive components within metal oxide nanoparticle (MO NP)-based electrodes significantly impact their energy storage performance. Unfortunately, conventional electrode preparation processes have much difficulty addressing this issue. Herein, this work demonstrates that a unique nanoblending assembly based on favorable and direct interfacial interactions between high-energy MO NPs and interface-modified carbon nanoclusters (CNs) notably enhances the capacities and charge transfer kinetics of binder-free electrodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

Modification of transparent metal oxide (MO) surfaces with organic monolayers is widely employed to tailor the properties of interfaces in organic electronic devices, and MO substrates modified with light-absorbing chromophores are a key component of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The effects of an organic modifier on the performance of a MO-based device are frequently assessed by performing experiments on model monolayer|MO interfaces, where an "inert" MO (e.g.
