Development of high-performance mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) is of great significance for CO separation membrane technology, in order to improve the commercial competitiveness and practical applications. Montmorillonite (MMT) was developed as a dopant to fabricate Polyether block amide (Pebax1074)-based MMMs for strengthening the CO/N separation. The morphology, chemical groups, microstructure, and thermal properties of MMMs were characterised by scanning electron microscope, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis, respectively. The effects of MMT contents, permeation pressure and permeation temperature on the gas separation performance of the Pebax/MMT MMMs were investigated. The results show that the uniformly dispersed dopants MMT in the membrane matrix significantly influence the thermal stability and the structural compactness of MMMs. Moreover, the CO permeability monotonously increases in spite of the CO/N selectivity first increasing and then decreasing with the MMT content elevating from 0% to 10% in MMMs. The highest CO/N selectivity could reach to 120.3, along with the CO permeability of 130.6 Barrer for the MMMs made by MMT content of 6%.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted significant attention due to their high theoretical energy density, low cost and environmental friendliness, which are considered one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices. However, the sluggish kinetics associated with sulfur oxidation-reduction reactions and the detrimental shuttle effect caused by lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) significantly impacts the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries. In this work, Co single-atom catalyst (Co-NC) on an ordered macro-microporous structure are designed, and the catalyst are coated onto 2325 separator.

A new approach for hydrogen isotope separation using an unsaturated organometallic complex was proposed. Adsorption measurements of [Mn(dppe)(CO)(N)](BArF) (Mn-dppe) (dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, BArF = B[CH(3,5-CF)]) using H and D revealed a significant difference in the adsorption enthalpy of H/D at much higher room temperatures than in previous studies, with D molecules being more strongly adsorbed on unsaturated metal sites. Mixed gas adsorption isotherms were calculated at each temperature using IAST, and it was predicted that D uptake was much larger than H uptake.

Article Synopsis
- A high-fat and high-fructose diet can alter gut microbiota and lead to metabolic changes, while chia oil contains beneficial alpha-linolenic acid with potential gut health benefits.
- In an experiment with rats, those on a high-fat diet supplemented with chia oil showed increased levels of immunoglobulin A and short-chain fatty acids, indicating improved intestinal health.
- Despite the benefits of chia oil, the overall diversity of gut microbiota remained unchanged, but certain beneficial bacterial genera were more prevalent in rats consuming chia oil compared to standard diets.

The type of coordinated N atoms in the metal-N coordination structure is of paramount importance to the catalytic property of N-modified carbon-based single-atom catalysts (SACs). Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for analyzing the coordination environments of SACs. Despite its efficacy, the limited availability of synchrotron light sources and the complexity of data analysis have constrained its broader application in identifying metal-N coordination types within SACs.
