This study examined the phase behaviour and temperature-dependent viscosity of palm stearin and fully hydrogenated soybean oil (FHSBO) mixtures to understand the stability of FHSBO coatings on micronutrient premixes. The Hildebrand equation showed that palm stearin/FHSBO mixtures form liquid solutions, while DSC data indicated partial immiscibility in the solid phase. The melting temperatures and enthalpies of fusion are composition dependent, ranging from 67 °C and 138 J/g for 100 % FHSBO to 13 °C and 71 J/g for 100 % palm stearin.

Elucidating the correlation of active sites and catalytic activity in multi-component metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is key to understanding the mechanism of oxygen evolution reaction (OER), yet it remains nebulous. Herein, a direct pathway combining theoretical prediction with anchoring high-valence metals is proposed on MOFs to reveal the mechanism of the OER reaction. Density functional theory (DFT) predicts that the co-modulation by Mo and Co atoms can enhance the conductance of CoMOF and optimize the adsorption-free energies of the OER intermediates.

We propose excess Gibbs free energy graph neural networks (GE-GNNs) for predicting composition-dependent activity coefficients of binary mixtures. The GE-GNN architecture ensures thermodynamic consistency by predicting the molar excess Gibbs free energy and using thermodynamic relations to obtain activity coefficients. As these are differential, automatic differentiation is applied to learn the activity coefficients in an end-to-end manner.

Sugars (saccharides) are sweet-tasting carbohydrates that are abundant in foods and play very important roles in living organisms, particularly as sources and stores of energy, and as structural elements in cellular membranes. They are desirable therapeutic targets, as they participate in multiple metabolic processes as fundamental elements. However, the physicochemical characterization of sugars is a challenging task, mostly due to the structural similarity shared by the large diversity of compounds of this family.
