Polyoxometalates (POMs) have gained significant research attention because of their excellent properties in photocatalytic (PC) hydrogen production. Exploring POM-based compounds for heterogeneous photocatalysis is an ongoing task. Here, we obtain a water-insoluble inorganic-organic hybrid compound, (PWO)(CNH)(CNH)·9.5HO (P-PW), formed by Dawson-type POM PWO (PW) anions and protonated 2-(pyridin-4-yl)-1-benzo[]imidazole (PHB) cations via noncovalent interactions. In the presence of the sacrificial agent triethanolamine, P-PW exhibits a PC H generation rate of 0.418 mmol/g/h, surpassing that of PW and PHB by 15 and 17 times, respectively. This enhancement in PC performance of P-PW can be attributed to its band structure change from the precursor compounds, leading to increased light absorption and therefore more efficient PC hydrogen production.

Atomically precise nanoclusters can be assembled into ordered superlattices with unique electronic, magnetic, optical and catalytic properties. The co-crystallization of nanoclusters with functional organic molecules provides opportunities to access an even wider range of structures and properties, but can be challenging to control synthetically. Here we introduce a supramolecular approach to direct the assembly of atomically precise silver nanoclusters into a series of nanocluster‒organic ionic co-crystals with tunable structures and properties.

To ameliorate the limitations of corn starch (CS) processing, Radix Paeoniae Alba polysaccharide (RPAP) was used to modulate the physicochemical and digestive properties of CS. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of RPAP on the pasting, rheological, thermal, structural, and digestive properties of CS. The results show that the addition of RPAP could increase the peak viscosity and final viscosity of CS gel, and RPAP could increase the apparent viscosity, storage modulus, loss modulus, hardness, and strength of CS gel, implying that RPAP can effectively improve the pasting and viscoelasticity properties of CS.

Plastic products contain complex mixtures of chemical compounds that are incorporated into polymers to improve material properties. Besides the intentional chemical additives, other compounds including residual monomers and non-intentionnaly added substances (NIAS) as well as sorbed pollutants are usually also present in aged plastic. Since most of these substances are only loosely bound to the polymer via non-covalently interactions, i.

Smart delivery materials that respond to electric fields attract interest across various fields, whereas systems enabling rapid, controllable, and safe delivery capabilities remain essential. Based on the hypothesis of utilizing electric field to manipulate inter-component noncovalent bonds in delivery materials, a hydrogel system is hereby reported that is capable of achieving rapid guest release at low-voltage region. This system harnesses the synergistic regulation of electric field-induced host-guest electrostatic repulsion, alongside the dynamic modulation of H-bond interactions within the conductive hydrogel.
