Impact of Carbon Dioxide Loading on the Thermal Conductivity of Metal Organic Frameworks

Academic Background The issue of global warming is becoming increasingly severe, and the research on carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture and storage technologies has become a hotspot in the scientific community, as CO₂ is one of the most significant greenhouse gases. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), with their exceptionally high porosity and surface area,...

Structure and Optical Properties of an Ag135Cu60 Nanocluster Incorporating an Ag135 Buckminsterfullerene-like Topology

Metal nanoclusters are nanoscale materials that bridge the gap between molecules and metals, exhibiting unique physicochemical properties, especially in the study of the relationship between atomic structure and physical properties. In recent years, researchers have shown great interest in organic ligand-protected metal nanoclusters due to their pr...

Covalent Heterostructures of Ultrathin Amorphous Carbon Nitride and Si for High-Performance Vertical Photodiodes

Carbon nitride (CN), as a two-dimensional n-type semiconductor material, exhibits great potential in light-driven energy conversion and environmental applications due to its excellent photocatalytic activity and stability. However, despite its outstanding performance in photocatalysis, the application of CN in optoelectronic devices, especially sil...

Synthesis of Molecular Borromean Links Featuring Trimeric Metallocages

The Borromean link is a topological structure composed of three independent yet interlocked rings, characterized by the fact that disconnecting any one ring results in the complete separation of the other two. This structure not only possesses aesthetic value but also holds significant research importance in molecular topology and supramolecular ch...

A Pickering-Emulsion-Droplet-Integrated Electrode for the Continuous-Flow Electrosynthesis of Oximes

Cyclohexanone oxime is a critical intermediate in the production of nylon-6, with global nylon-6 production projected to reach 8.9 million tons by 2024, leading to an increasing demand for cyclohexanone oxime. Traditional methods for synthesizing cyclohexanone oxime primarily involve the reaction of hydroxylamine (NH2OH) with cyclohexanone. However...
