Thorium dioxide nanomaterials have attracted broad interest due to their catalytic properties and their possible use as fuel in next generation nuclear reactors. Investigation of their chemical and physical properties benefits from exploration of the electronic structure of small cluster units. A joint computational and experimental study is reported herein of the geometric and electronic structure of the neutral and anionic thorium dioxide clusters (ThO), n = 2, 3, 4.

Ionic conductive hydrogels have attracted great attention due to their good flexibility and conductivity in flexible electronic devices. However, because of the icing and water loss problems, the compatibility issue between the mechanical properties and conductivity of hydrogel electrolytes over a wide temperature range remains extremely challenging to achieve. Although, antifreezing/water-retaining additives could alleviate these problems, the reduced performance and complex preparation methods seriously limit their development.

In the field of nuclear toxicology, the knowledge of the interaction of actinides (An) with biomolecules is of prime concern in order to elucidate their toxicity mechanism and to further develop selective decorporating agents. In this work, we demonstrated the great potential of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) to separate polar thorium (Th) biomimetic peptide complexes, as a key starting point to tackle these challenges. Th was used as plutonium (Pu) analogue and pS16 and pS1368 as synthetic di- and tetra-phosphorylated peptides capable of mimicking the interaction sites of these An in osteopontin (OPN), a hyperphosphorylated protein.

When catalytic reactions are interfered with by radiation sources, thorium clusters are promising as potential catalysts due to their superior radiation resistance. However, there is currently very little research on the design synthesis and catalytic application of radiation-stable thorium clusters. In this work, we have elaborately engineered and fabricated three high-nuclear thorium cluster catalysts denoted as , , and , which did not undergo any significant alterations in their molecular structures and compositions after irradiation with 690 kGy γ-rays.
