Dual-atom catalysts featuring synergetic dinuclear active sites, have the potential of breaking the linear scaling relationship of the well-established single-atom catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction; however, the design of dual-atom catalysts with rationalized local microenvironment for high activity and selectivity remains a great challenge. Here we design a bisalphen ladder polymer with well-defined densely populated binuclear cobalt sites on Ketjenblack substrates. The strong electron coupling effect between the fully-conjugated ladder structure and carbon substrates enhances the electron transfer between the cobalt center and oxygen intermediates, inducing the low-to-high spin transition for the 3d electron of Co(II).

Excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) reactions of 5-cyano-2-naphthol (5CN2) and 5,8-dicyano-2-naphthol (DCN2) were investigated in protic ionic liquids (PILs) composed of quaternary ammonium (NH) ( = 2, 4, or 8) and hexanoate (CHCOO) using time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The effects of the number of alkyl carbons in the cation and the basicity of the anion on the reaction yield and dynamics were examined. In a series of [NH][CHCOO], fluorescence from the hydrogen-bonding complex (AHBX) of a proton-dissociated form (RO) with a solvent acid in the electronic excited state was observed between the fluorescence bands of an acidic form (ROH) and an anionic form (RO) as in the case of [NH][CFCOO] (Fujii et al.

Bubble-microplastic (MP) interaction is a significant process that changes the routes of MP circulation in marine environment and thereby determines the risk of MPs, which could be strongly influenced by natural organic matter (NOM) in oceans. However, the quantitative interaction mechanisms between bubbles and MPs under the effect of NOM remain elusive. Herein, bubble-MP interactions in simulated seawater were quantified at nanoscale based on atomic force microscope coupled with the Stokes-Reynold-Young-Laplace model.

The coupling between excitons in semiconductors or molecules and metal nanoparticles has been well-studied, primarily for nanoparticles in their ground electronic state. However, less attention has been given to exciton-nanoparticle interactions when the nanoparticle generates surface plasmons upon incident excitation. In this study, we explore the coupling and energy transfer dynamics between an exciton and the surface plasmon of a metal nanoparticle, forming a "plexciton".

Ultraviolet light detection is essential for environmental monitoring, hazard alerting, and optical communication. Here, a vertical UV photodetector is proposed and demonstrated by stacking the freestanding GaN-film on the 2D GaSe flake. Benefits from the vertical heterostructure and built-in electric field, the photodetector exhibits excellent photoresponse properties, including a high responsivity of 1.
