WO₃ films are widely used in electrochromic devices owing to their high optical modulation and environmental stability. However, their practical application is hindered by sluggish redox kinetics and the ion trapping effect, leading to slow switching speeds and reduced cycling stability. To address these issues, we incorporated two-dimensional layered Ti₃C₂T_x (T = –O, F, and –OH), known for its high conductivity, and WO₃·2H₂O nanosheets to form a composite film with dual functionalities of electrochromism and infrared stealth. The optimized WO₃·2H₂O/Ti₃C₂T_x composite film exhibits a significantly improved optical modulation of 58.0 % at 700 nm), rapid switching speeds (colored/bleached times, 9.2 s/1.6 s), and enhanced cycling stability (decay of 30.1/18.2 % in insertion/extraction charge density after 3000 s of cycling). These improvements originate from the synergistic effect of Ti₃C₂T_x and the crystalline water within the WO₃·2H₂O nanosheets. Together, they promote Li⁺ ion participation in redox reactions, accelerate the reaction kinetics, and reduce the ion trap effect in WO₃ through reduced charge transfer resistance. Additionally, the incorporation of low-infrared-emissivity Ti₃C₂T_x provide a measurable 3.4 °C temperature shielding effect in colored state, further enhancing the composite film's infrared stealth performance. Owing to these advantages, the WO₃·2H₂O/Ti₃C₂T_x composite film shows great promise for applications in smart windows and thermal camouflage.

WO3薄膜由于具有较高的光调制性和环境稳定性，被广泛应用于电致变色器件中。然而，它们的实际应用受到缓慢的氧化还原动力学和离子捕获效应的阻碍，导致切换速度缓慢和循环稳定性降低。为了解决这些问题，我们将具有高导电性的二维层状Ti3C2Tx （T = -O， F和-OH）与WO3·2H2O纳米片结合，形成具有电致变色和红外隐身双重功能的复合薄膜。优化后的WO3·2H2O/Ti3C2Tx复合薄膜在700 nm处的光调制率显著提高58.0%，切换速度快（着色/漂白时间为9.2 s/1.6 s），循环稳定性增强（循环3000 s后插入/提取电荷密度衰减30.1/ 18.2%）。这些改进源于Ti3C2Tx和WO3·2H2O纳米片内结晶水的协同作用。它们共同促进了Li+离子参与氧化还原反应，加速了反应动力学，并通过降低电荷转移阻力降低了WO3中的离子阱效应。此外，低红外发射率Ti3C2Tx的加入在有色状态下提供了可测量的3.4°C温度屏蔽效果，进一步增强了复合膜的红外隐身性能。由于这些优点，WO3·2H2O/Ti3C2Tx复合薄膜在智能窗户和热伪装方面具有很大的应用前景。

Many rare-earth (RE)-incorporated materials have been determined intensively regarding to their magnetocaloric (MC) performances, which are attempted to identify candidates for cryogenic magnetic cooling application and unveil their intrinsic magneto-thermal properties. In this work, we synthesized the single-phased Er₂Ge₂O₇ and Ho₂Ge₂O₇ oxides by solid-state reactions and experimentally unveiled their structural, magnetic and MC properties. Both oxides are crystallized in tetrahedra-type structure with a space group of P4₁2₁2. The consistent elements in Er₂Ge₂O₇ and Ho₂Ge₂O₇ oxides all distribute uniformly from micro- to nano-scale and with the valence states of RE³⁺, Ge⁴⁺ and O²⁻, respectively. Large reversible MC effects around liquid helium temperature were realized in both oxides. The maximum magnetic entropy and refrigerant capacity under a 0–5 T field variation are identified as 14.66 J/kgK and 163.36 J/kg for Er₂Ge₂O₇, and as 13.03 J/kgK and 196.56 J/kg for Ho₂Ge₂O₇, respectively, which are comparable with some recently realized RE-incorporated prominent cryogenic MC materials, making these Er₂Ge₂O₇ and Ho₂Ge₂O₇ oxides may considerable for cooling applications.

A novel manganese-based heterogeneous catalyst was developed via stepwise modification of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for the direct oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Pristine MWCNTs were first purified and functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, followed by covalent grafting of 2-hydroxybenzophenone through Schiff base linkage, providing effective chelating sites for manganese ions. Subsequent complexation with manganese(II) chloride yielded the final catalyst. Comprehensive characterization using FT-IR, EDX, XPS, XRD, TEM, TGA, BET, and ICP confirmed successful functionalization, metal incorporation, structural integrity, and thermal stability of the catalyst. Reaction parameters were systematically optimized to maximize FDCA yield and selectivity. The catalyst revealed excellent activity under mild and environmentally friendly aqueous conditions, attaining a maximum FDCA yield of 93 % at 100 °C after 6 h. Furthermore, the turnover number (TON) was calculated to be 18.7, demonstrating the efficiency of our developed catalytic system. Recyclability tests indicated that the catalyst retained high catalytic performance over multiple reaction cycles with minimal metal leaching. This approach offers a sustainable and scalable route to FDCA, a key bio-based platform chemical with significant industrial relevance in the synthesis of renewable polymers.

通过对多壁碳纳米管（MWCNTs）的逐步改性，制备了一种新型锰基非均相催化剂，用于将5-羟甲基糠醛（HMF）直接氧化为2,5-呋喃二羧酸（FDCA）。首先用3-氨基丙基三乙氧基硅烷对原始MWCNTs进行纯化和功能化，然后通过希夫碱键对2-羟基二苯甲酮进行共价接枝，为锰离子提供有效的螯合位点。随后与氯化锰络合得到最终催化剂。通过FT-IR、EDX、XPS、XRD、TEM、TGA、BET和ICP等综合表征，证实了催化剂的成功功能化、金属掺入、结构完整性和热稳定性。系统优化反应参数，使FDCA产率和选择性最大化。该催化剂在温和和环保的水环境下表现出优异的活性，在100°C条件下反应6 h， FDCA收率最高可达93%。此外，计算出的周转率（TON）为18.7，证明了我们开发的催化体系的效率。可回收性试验表明，该催化剂在多次反应循环中仍保持较高的催化性能，且金属浸出量最小。这种方法为FDCA提供了可持续和可扩展的途径，FDCA是一种关键的生物基平台化学品，在可再生聚合物的合成中具有重要的工业意义。

Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) and their Cd–Ag co-doped counterparts were successfully synthesized via a chemical precipitation method and comprehensively characterized to investigate their structural, morphological, optical, dielectric, magnetic, and photocatalytic properties. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the cubic crystalline structure with high crystallinity and minor variations in crystallite size upon doping. XPS study shows the presence of Ni³⁺ and Ni²⁺ mixed valence states both in the doped sample. Microscopic investigations revealed nearly spherical nanoparticles with noticeable agglomeration, which was reduced by Cd and Ag incorporation. Fourier transform infrared spectra confirmed the presence of metal–oxygen bonds, while photoluminescence measurements demonstrated that co-doping effectively suppressed electron–hole recombination. Magnetic studies showed weak ferromagnetic behavior arising from uncompensated surface spins and defect states, with coercivity and magnetization influenced by Cd–Ag doping levels. Dielectric measurements indicated strong frequency dependence dominated by space charge polarization, with doped samples showing enhanced permittivity and dielectric loss due to increased charge carrier concentration. Electrical conductivity analysis revealed a conduction mechanism consistent with correlated barrier hopping model. Photocatalytic experiments, using diazonium blue dye as a model pollutant under UV irradiation, demonstrated significantly enhanced degradation efficiency for Cd–Ag co-doped NiO NPs compared to pure NiO, with Cd_0.1Ag_0.1Ni_0.8O achieving the highest efficiency of ∼91%. These findings highlight that Cd–Ag co-doping is an effective strategy for tailoring the multifunctional properties of NiO NPs, making them promising candidates for environmental remediation, optoelectronic, and magnetic applications.

采用化学沉淀法成功合成了氧化镍纳米粒子（NiO NPs）及其Cd-Ag共掺杂对偶物，并对其结构、形态、光学、介电、磁和光催化性能进行了全面表征。x射线衍射分析证实了掺杂后的立方晶体结构具有较高的结晶度，晶粒尺寸变化较小。XPS研究表明，掺杂样品中存在Ni3+和Ni2+混合价态。微观研究表明，纳米颗粒接近球形，并有明显的团聚，这是由于镉和银的掺入而减少的。傅里叶变换红外光谱证实了金属-氧键的存在，而光致发光测量表明共掺杂有效地抑制了电子-空穴复合。磁学研究表明，由于Cd-Ag掺杂水平的影响，表面自旋和缺陷态产生了弱铁磁行为，矫顽力和磁化强度受到影响。介电测量表明，空间电荷极化对频率有很强的依赖性，掺杂样品的介电常数和介电损耗由于载流子浓度的增加而增强。电导率分析揭示了与相关势垒跳变模型一致的传导机制。以重氮蓝染料为模型污染物，在紫外照射下进行光催化实验，结果表明，与纯NiO相比，Cd-Ag共掺杂NiO NPs的降解效率显著提高，Cd0.1Ag0.1Ni0.8O的最高效率为~ 91%。这些发现强调了Cd-Ag共掺杂是一种有效的策略，可以定制NiO NPs的多功能特性，使其成为环境修复，光电和磁性应用的有希望的候选人。

Mesoporous nanopowders based on hydroxyapatite (HA) doped with tungstate groups up to 7.5 mol% were synthesized by precipitation. Low tungstate concentrations (from 1 to 2.5 mol%) yielded single-phase apatite, while higher concentrations (≥5 mol%) led to CaWO₄ co-precipitation. The obtained samples exhibited a substantial specific surface area (SSA) ranging from 74 to 88 m²/g and nanoscale particle size (10–25 nm). The 7.5 mol% tungstate-HA catalyst demonstrated high efficiency in the selective oxidative conversion of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde at room temperature. Optimal conditions were achieved, resulting in greater than 51 % substrate conversion, 100 % benzaldehyde selectivity, and a turnover frequency (TOF) of up to 180 h⁻¹. The high catalytic activity was attributed to active peroxo complexes, the large specific surface area, and the achieved porosity of up to 0.355 cm³/g. The findings of this study indicate that room temperature oxidative conversion with water as a coproduct is a promising green chemistry solution.

ZnMn₂O₄ (ZMO) is a promising yet underexplored hydrogen-sensing material owing to its unique spinel structure, multiple oxidation states, and tunable physicochemical properties. In this study, ZMO nanostructures were synthesized via a co-precipitation method and subsequently calcined at 500 °C (ZMO1) and 800 °C (ZMO2) to evaluate the impact of thermal treatment on their gas-sensing performance. Comprehensive analyses using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high resolution transmition electron microscopy (HRTEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the successful formation of ZMO with temperature-dependent crystallinity and surface characteristics. The ZMO1 sample exhibited a mesoporous structure with a significantly higher specific surface area (306 m² g⁻¹), an increased Mn³⁺ concentration, and a greater abundance of surface oxygen species, leading to superior hydrogen-sensing behavior.

ZnMn2O4 （ZMO）由于其独特的尖晶石结构、多种氧化态和可调的物理化学性质，是一种很有前途但尚未开发的氢传感材料。在本研究中，通过共沉淀法合成了ZMO纳米结构，随后在500°C （ZMO1）和800°C （ZMO2）下煅烧，以评估热处理对其气敏性能的影响。通过x射线衍射（XRD）、拉曼光谱（Raman spectroscopy）、场发射扫描电镜（FESEM）、高分辨率透射电镜（HRTEM）、布鲁诺尔-埃米特-泰勒（BET）表面积分析和x射线光电子能谱（XPS）的综合分析，证实了ZMO的成功形成，并具有温度相关的结晶度和表面特征。ZMO1样品具有更高的比表面积（306 m2 g−1）、更高的Mn3+浓度和更高的表面氧丰度的介孔结构，从而具有优越的氢传感行为。在300℃时，ZMO1比ZMO2具有更高的灵敏度、更快的回收率（1.5 s）和更低的检出限（0.049%）。这些结果表明ZnMn2O4是一种高效的氢传感材料，其性能与合成和煅烧条件密切相关。

Metal-organic framework (MOFs) structures possess a large specific surface area and numerous active sites, enabling them to readily adsorb onto metal surfaces and effectively resist the attack of corrosive media. To this end, in this study, based on a dual-ligand strategy, cerium-based metal-organic frameworks (Ce-MOFs) incorporating trimellitic acid (H₃BTC) and phenanthroline (phen) were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. It were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The corrosion inhibition performance of Ce-MOFs on carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl solution at different temperatures was investigated through weight-loss, electrochemical, and surface analysis. The findings of the study indicate that: 1. Ce-MOFs exhibit markedly enhanced anti-corrosion performance compared to the individual ligands, and its corrosion inhibition efficiency exceeding 90 %. 2. Compared to the single- ligand systems, even under high-temperature conditions, Ce-MOFs still exhibited a corrosion inhibition efficiency of approximately 80 %. 3. The corrosion inhibition effect of Ce-MOFs is attributed to the combined action of multiple adsorption processes. 4. By employing the dual-ligand strategy and leveraging the metal-organic framework structure, Ce-MOFs significantly enhance the strength and stability of adsorption on the metal surface.

Ce-MOFs的缓蚀作用是多种吸附过程共同作用的结果。4. 通过采用双配体策略和利用金属-有机骨架结构，Ce-MOFs显著提高了金属表面吸附的强度和稳定性。

Europium-doped ZnO/Ag nanocomposites (3 and 5 at.%) and pristine ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized via a green route using Meriandra bengalensis leaf extract as a sustainable bioreducing and capping agent for efficient indigo carmine dye removal. The nanomaterials were comprehensively characterized (FTIR, XRD, UV-DRS, FE-SEM, HR-TEM, XPS, AFM, Raman, BET) to confirm their structural and morphological features. Adsorption studies varying pH, temperature, catalyst dosage, and dye concentration revealed pseudo-first-order kinetics and Freundlich isotherm behavior, indicating heterogeneous multilayer adsorption. Thermodynamic analyses confirmed a spontaneous, endothermic process, with excellent recyclability over four cycles. Validation with real wastewater demonstrated strong practical applicability. The synergistic combination of Eu³⁺ doping and Ag decoration enhanced charge separation, suppressed electron-hole recombination, and improved photocatalytic, antioxidant, and adsorption performance. This eco-friendly strategy provides a scalable pathway for designing multifunctional nanomaterials for next-generation environmental and practical applications.

Membrane science and technology has enabled real-time separation and purification, including water purification and industrial separations. However, the performance efficiency of traditional designs is limited by the need for slower trial-and-error-based experiments, which may also be erroneous. Machine learning (ML) enables rapid assessment of membrane performance by analysing historical and statistical data on features and parameters related to membrane materials and their properties, solute-solvent interactions, and system operational conditions. Leveraging the benefits of ML assists in proposing membrane designs with higher performance metrics for the intended application. This paper outlines the present-day state-of-the-art in the field of ML applied to membrane technology for fuel cells, desalination, gas separations, and solvent purification. It critically discusses and analyzes the associated inventions contributed by researchers, serving to formulate the best ML practices for selecting and designing membranes with affordable prices and excellent performance, while also offsetting the involved trade-offs. Following a discussion of some simple yet significant ML fundamentals, the pathways for retrieving data from database libraries and sources, as well as data-driven prediction of membrane material-structure-property interactions, have been addressed. Finally, challenges and future perspectives are highlighted, with the hope of providing directions for forthcoming attempts toward addressing the research gaps.

Increase in antimicrobial resistance among pathogens and release of advanced pollutants with complex molecular structure into water, has lead to increase in fruit wastage and increased environmental pollution that needs to be tackled. In this research, Pure and Cu-doped SnO₂ nanoparticles were synthesized using hydrothermal approach by using varied Cu-dopant concentration (2%,4%,6%,8%). In order to address structural, morphological, vibrational and optical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles, different characterization techniques such as UV-Vis, PL, FTIR, XRD and SEM were carried out. 6%Cu-doped SnO₂ was found to have highest photocatalytic efficiency of 84.3% for MB dye and 58% for Ciprofloxacin. The optimal 6%Cu-doped SnO₂ was then applied to Vitis vinifera fruit as coating and shelf life analysis was performed for 5 days using different techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Total soluble solid and Titration acidity test. Cu-doped SnO₂ nanoparticles showed remarkable ability for shelf life enhancement of Vitis vinifera in comparison to untreated control. These findings thus demonstrates potential use of Cu-doped SnO₂ nanoparticles for shelf life enhancement of fruits by its incorporation in storage environment and its use as promising photo catalyst.

病原体抗菌素耐药性的增加以及具有复杂分子结构的先进污染物释放到水中，导致水果浪费的增加和环境污染的增加，这些都需要解决。在本研究中，采用水热法，采用不同的cu掺杂浓度（2%、4%、6%、8%）合成了纯净和掺杂cu的SnO2纳米颗粒。为了研究合成的纳米颗粒的结构、形态、振动和光学性质，采用了UV-Vis、PL、FTIR、XRD和SEM等不同的表征技术。结果表明，6% cu掺杂SnO2对MB染料的光催化效率最高，为84.3%，对环丙沙星的光催化效率为58%。采用傅里叶变换红外光谱、总可溶性固形物和滴定酸度试验等不同技术对葡萄果实进行5 d的保鲜期分析。与未经处理的对照相比，cu掺杂的SnO2纳米颗粒具有显著的延长葡萄保质期的能力。因此，这些发现证明了cu掺杂SnO2纳米颗粒通过在储存环境中掺入来延长水果的保质期，并作为有前途的光催化剂使用。
