The feasibility of X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) experiments of ultra-dilute metalloproteins under in vivo conditions (T = 300 K, pH = 7) at the BL-9 bending-magnet beamline (Indus-2) is reported, using as an example analogous synthetic Zn (0.1 mM) M1dr solution. The (Zn K-edge) XAFS of M1dr solution was measured with a four-element silicon drift detector. The first-shell fit was tested and found to be robust against statistical noise, generating reliable nearest-neighbor bond results. The results are found to be invariant between physiological and non-physiological conditions, which confirms the robust coordination chemistry of Zn with important biological implications. The scope of improving spectral quality for accommodation of higher-shell analysis is addressed.

Construction of the photocatalysts with synergistic active sites holds great significance in enhancing the direct CO reduction coupled with HO oxidation under solar irradiation. This work demonstrates the fabrication of a dual-active-site catalyst (Ni-NiO/TiO) through in-situ formation and simultaneous modulation of Ni single atoms (Ni) and NiO clusters on porous TiO. Both Ni and NiO are characterized by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analyses and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy using CO as a probe molecule (CO-DRIFTS).

Efficient synthesis of CHOH (n=1, 2) via photochemical CO reduction holds promise for achieving carbon neutrality but remains challenging. Here, we present rare earth dual single atoms (SAs) catalysts containing ErN and NdN moieties, fabricated via an atom-confinement and coordination method. The dual Er-Nd SAs catalysts exhibit unprecedented generation rates of 1761.

In this study, we proposed a moderate oxidation strategy for accelerating the oxidative dissolution of zerovalent iron (ZVI) using sulfite (S(IV)), thereby improving the removal of As(V) and As(III). Results revealed that, in the presence of 2.0 mM S(IV), both As(V) and As(III) were selectively converted into scorodite at pH 3.

Revealing key factors that modulate the regioselectivity in heterogeneous hydroformylation requires identifying and monitoring the dynamic evolution of the truly active center under real reaction conditions. However, unambiguous in situ characterizations are still lacking. Herein, we elaborately construct a series of Rh-POPs catalysts for propylene hydroformylation which exhibited tunable regioselectivity.

In some locations around the globe, the U concentrations may exceed WHO standards by 2-folds therefore, effective yet environmentally wise solutions to purify radioactive waters are of significant importance. Here, the optimized and fully controlled coal-fly-ash based Na-P1 zeolite functionalization by employing novel, biodegradable biosurfactant molecule - cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) is showcased. The zeolite's surface decoration renders three composites with varying amounts of introduced CAPB molecule (Na-P1 @ CAPB), with 0.
